Red Room 04:23
She was with her friends I was with mine Saturday night And we were having a good old time Then I saw her sitting all alone And I’m not usually one to say hello But my legs started shaking my heart started aching And I knew….. When I saw her at the red room It all started at the red room Yeah my legs started shaking My heart started aching And I knew When I saw her at the red room Pretty mama at the red room Oh I never thought I’d fall in love At a quarter past one In the red room… I sat down and said Now what’s your name And she said “oh, I like to play this game” I said maybe, baby we could go out Another night we’d tear up this whole town Well my head started spinning I knew I was winning Yeah I knew…. When I saw her at the red room It all started at the red room Yeah my head started spinning I knew I was winning Yeah I knew… When I saw her at the red room Pretty mama at the red room Yeah I never thought I’d fall in love At a quarter past one In the red room… Ohhh ohhhh, ohhh, ohhhh When I saw her at the red room Ohhh ohhhh, ohhh ohhhhh Yeah my legs started shaking My heart started aching And I knew… When I saw her at the red room It all started at the red room Yeah my legs started shaking My heart started aching And I knew… When I saw her at the red room Pretty mama at the red room Oh I never thought I’d fall in love At a quarter past one In the red room….

You made me believe I was worthless Like trying wasn’t even worth it I kept trying to perfect perfect So you would see me for me And now I know what hell is It’s feeling completely helpless You even called my selflessness selfish Left me no room to breathe Ohhh demon, dragon Where is your compassion? Actually I’m done with asking I know you won’t come around… But I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you bring me down See I was afraid of abandonment So I let you take my innocence They say the damage is permanent But the bravest hearts have scars… Ohhh demon, dragon Where is your compassion? Actually I’m done with asking I know you won’t come around… But I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you, bring me down (won’t let you bring me down) I won’t let you, bring me down (won’t let you bring me down) I won’t let you, bring me down…won’t let you bring me down… And even when you’re not here I hear your voice whisper in my ear And for years I thought that all of my fears, were real And now I know that it’s all you… Ohhh demon, dragon Where is your compassion? Actually I’m done with asking I know you won’t come around… But I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you bring me down I won’t let you, bring me down (won’t let you bring me down) I won’t let you, bring me down (won’t let you bring me down) I won’t let you, bring me down…won’t let you bring me down… I took the weight on my shoulders But as I've gotten older I've realized that you're a boulder Coming down the mountain And I won't let you bring me down again

Home 03:10
I don’t know how many months I was living out a suitcase Always packing up And moving on to a new place Lord it’s been so long Singing the wanderer’s song In my mind’s camera I look back and remember Surfing on couches all of last December The city made me strong But it feels so good to be home Where I can play my records loud And put my feet up on the couch (ohhh!) Leave my glasses in the sink And just sit back and think… To be home, to be home….to be home Ohhhh to be home, to be home To be home…to be home Met a young vixen And got lost in the passion Ended up living in a millionaire’s mansion But I knew it was wrong Singing another man’s song In my protest I ended up homeless Felt myself crushed under the stress But the glory is I’m strong And it feels so good to be home Where I can play my records loud And put my feet up on the couch (ohhh!) Leave my glasses in the sink And just sit back and think… To be home, to be home….to be home Ohhhh to be home, to be home To be home…to be home I didn’t know where the road was going… Waking up confused in the morning… But I kept holding on Till I could sing a song called home…. Where I can play my records loud And put my feet up on the couch (ohhh!) Leave my glasses in the sink And just sit back and think… To be home, to be home….to be home Ohhhh to be home, to be home To be home…to be home To be home, to be home, To be home…to be home To be home, to be home, To be home….to be home

We’ve been down a lonely road Don’t you think by now we’d know How it feels to be alone? We prayed to the flashing lights We stayed awake all night We just never realized the truth That if you believe Before you can see, it’ll be, it’ll be If you can taste before you touch If you can feel before the rush If you can dream before it’s done I know we can, I know we can Make it to the promised land And we bought what we didn’t need Thought that it would set us free And now the trees and rivers bleed for us But if you go in Before you begin, we all win If you can kneel before you run If you can feel before it comes If you can see that all is one, I know we can I know we can make it to the promised land Ohhhh, make it to the promised land Ohhhh, make it to the promised land Ohhhh, make it to the promised land And they won’t take us away in their chariots No matter how we pray for deliverance Woe to those who steal the throne Stepping on the ones below We are kings all on our own And queens yes I know But if you go inside The temple, past the mental And into the middle see an eye…. Do you see the light? If you can taste before you touch If you can feel before the rush If you can dream before it’s done I know we can, I know we can Make it to the promised land Ohhhh, we'll make it to the promised land Ohhhh, we'll make it to the promised land Ohhhh, we'll make it to the promised land I thought I was the only one Suffering under the sun But now I know it's just begun The new time...
