Misfit

Most of the time I can't tell if I win or I lose

I can't see the road that's before which way do I choose?

I'm trying to find, a real piece of mind

but every time I keep turning away from the truth

If I try to be cool I end up the fool

and falling down is a general rule

It's so hard to be smooth with your feet off the floor

a size 10 smile's so very hard to ignore

never seem to know the upside right from the down

or the inside from all around

Been living my life trying to walk on my own

don't know who you are but you've been on my mind even so

A face in the crowd, for crying out loud

I can't see where you are I guess I'll just go it alone

If I try to be cool I end up the fool

and falling down is a general rule

It's so hard to be smooth with your feet off the floor

a two foot smile's so very hard to ignore

never seem to know the upside right from the down

or the inside from all around

You, you're all I need, but where can you be?

Love please answer me, take a chance and you will see

Fools don't have to be cool when loving you is a general rule

I don't have to be smooth 'cause you're always around

and now both feet firmly stay on the ground

I can even see the upside more than the down,

so now my smile doesn't come with a frown

never thought there was someone out there for me

a misfit just like me - a misfit just for me

Words

Words they don’t come easy, yet they can come so fast

 Because we’re all the same it’s such a shame,

 I won’t tell you that I love you, no, but I’ll call you names,

We are all to blame

Words untold, held in our souls, speak them clear

Keep our mouths from talking words impure

Confound all the worldly wise

Words of truth will conquer lies

Some words we form are empty

And they can really come across to us that way

We’ve go a lot to say but oh, if you choose to show love,

Act upon what you say and let love lead the way

Words untold, held in our souls, speak them clear

Keep our mouths from talking words impure

Confound all the worldly wise

Words of truth will conquer lies

 Be forewarned that what you speak will all come back to you one day

Won’t go away so say just what you mean and mean just what you say

Don’t want to feel that pain

 Words untold, held in our souls, speak them clear

Keep our mouths from talking words impure

Confound all the worldly wise

Words of truth will conquer lies

Illusions

Sometimes I feel like I’m livin’ in some illusion

Can’t get a fix on what is real

Too many choices give my brain too much confusion

Too many ways to change the way I feel

 ‘Cause everything I see on the television show

All the money that I make is like Caesars ghost

Spending my time on the fantasy line

Feeding my dreams on the prime time crime

You cannot see reality living in a fantasy

My confusion’s your illusion – yeah

What is misleading, untrue, deceiving

This false impression is for you

‘Cause everything I see on the television show

All the money that I make is like Caesars ghost

Spending my time on the fantasy line

Feeding my dreams on the prime time crime

Seems every day goes by and nothin’ real is in it

A long parade of faceless names

I watch the wheel of life, but everyone’s a loser

Why play a game that you can’t win?

 ‘Cause everything I see on the television show

All the money that I make is like Caesars ghost

Spending my time on the fantasy line

Feeding my dreams on the prime time crime

Satisfy

Everyday I come to you, looking for my fill

A smorgasbord of life I choose

I feast on every word you say

Seeking a direction – (lead me)

I yearn, I turn, I search, I learn, hanging on every word

The more and more I chase your heart

The more I understand – it’s you

You’re all I’ve got to live for – (show me)

When it seems there’s no one else to turn to

I come to you; you’re all that really matters (to me)

The universe I touch and feel is not as real as truth

I know that flesh won’t feed my soul

So I will look – to you

Truth is my addiction – (Oh yeah)

All I need is you ‘cause only you can satisfy

Nothing else can really please me

They all just pass me by – but you

Always showing your affection – (to me)

When it seems there’s nothing left to live for

I turn to you; show me what you’ve got in store – (for me)

I get my fix from knowing you injected in my soul

The love you give brings life to me

You know it makes me whole

You are my foundation – (Oh Lord)

 When it seems there’s nothing left to live for

I turn to you; show me what you’ve got in store – (for me)
