Radio Paradise (mobile)

Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the Earth reaches the Sun
Now, the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear?
Mm, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the Sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Woo
I know that someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be
Why can't it be mine?
Ah, yeah
Uh, woo-hoo

Sorry Smith fans. However, though this tune is largely a repetitive lead line, it is captivating. So funny -- I find the exact OPPOSITE to be true! I would say; Biscobret wrote: [ Reply ]

However, though this tune is largely a repetitive lead line, it is captivating. Perhaps the chord changes, but it is relentless and moving, like the Cash version of Hurt. Far from PSD, I pressed the up volume button. Hmmmm........ [ Reply ]

I'd like to see the PSD count posted on every song beside the rating. Again, to repeat, this song is one of the best ever . I mean that. But at some point you just don't wanna hear it no more. On average, 0.061% of the people hearing this one click PSD. [ Reply ]

If the person can't love you back the same way, then it isn't love worth having. If I could have made my 15 year old self understand that, my teenage years would have been a lot less miserable. Effin' girls messing with a lonely teenager's heart just about broke an early me. Only time and distance (literally, I moved about 250 miles away) has given me the perspective to see that. It's funny, as a teenager I knew everything but clearly didn't understand anything. newwavegurly wrote: I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why Can't it be, Can't it be mine...?
