And I'm not going back into rags or in the hole.
And our bruises are coming, but we will never fold.
And I was your silver lining, as the story goes.
I was your silver lining, but now I'm gold.
Hurray, hurray, I'm your silver lining.
Hurray, hurray, but now I'm gold.
And I was your silver lining, high up on my toes
while you were running through fields of hitchhikers,
as the story goes.
Hurray, hurray, I'm your silver lining.
Hurray, hurray, but now I'm gold.
Hurray, hurray, I'm your silver lining.
Hurray, hurray, but now I'm gold.
And the grass, it was a' tickin'
and the sun was on the rise.
I never felt so wicked
as when I willed our love to die.
And I was your silver lining, as the story goes.
I was your sliver lining, but now I'm gold.
Hurray, hurray, I'm your silver lining.
Hurray, hurray, but now I'm gold.
Hurray, hurray, I'm your silver lining.
Hurray, hurray, but now I'm gold.
But now I'm gold
But now i'm gold |

She was born on a Brighton pier to
a gypsy mother and a bucket of tears.
Her good looks coulda sailed a ship,
but her will alone coulda sunk it.
Funny thing about money for sex--
you might get rich,
but you'll die by it.
It's gonna be a close call.
Gonna be a close call
Tell me now what would you do
hanging back with the brutes?
Hustlin', a pickpocket--
that's no way to get rich.
It's gonna be a close call.
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Ooh ooh ooh ohh, ahh ahh (etc)
Business woman with good sense--
if you live at all, you're gonna die by it.
Funny thing about money for sex,
you might get rich, but then...
it's gonna be a close call.
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Ooh ooh ooh ohh, ahh ahh (etc)

They showed the money to you.
You showed them what you can do.
Showed them your money maker.

It's not as if New York City
burnt down to the ground
once you drove away.
It's not as if the sun won't shine
when clouds up above
wash the blues away.
Are we breaking up?
Are we breaking up?
Is there trouble between you and I?
Did my heart break enough?
Did it break enough this time?
Here's to all the pretty words
we will never speak.
Here's to all the pretty girls
you're gonna meet.
Am I breaking up?
Am I breaking up?
Is there trouble on the line?
Did your heart break enough?
Did it break enough this time?
Ooh, it feels good to be free!
Ooh, it feels good to be free!
Ooh, it feels good to be free!
Betrayal is a thorny crown.
You wear it well,
just like a king.
Revenge is the saddest thing--
honey, I'm afraid to say
You deserve everything.
Am I breaking up?
Are we breaking up?
Is there trouble between the lines?
Did your heart break enough?
Did it break enough this time?
Ooh, it feels good to be free!
Ooh, it feels good to be free!
Ooh, it feels good to be free!
Ooh, it feels good to be free! (etc)

When you get sober,
will you get kinder?
'Cause when you get uptight,
it's such a drag.
When I get older,
I won't remember.
Until that day comes,
I've got something on you.
Under the blacklight,
out in the garden,
into the pale moon...
I'll be waiting
under the blacklight,
under the blacklight.
Even dead men
lie in the their coffins.
It's been a long time
since you felt better
under the blacklight,
out in the garden,
into the pale moon...
I'll be waiting
under the blacklight,
out in the garden,
into the pale moon...
under the blacklight.
Somewhere in Laredo
borders a soft man.
Like a black widow,
I'll be crawling
under the blacklight,
out in the garden,
into the pale moon...
under the blacklight,
down in the valley,
up in the dark blue,
under the blacklight,
under the blacklight.

She was the girl with the string around her neck,
came with the boy who could only give her less.
It could be more if she learned to never expect.
Take now- she is her-and-him, and then we're maybe next.
The wedding bells won't ring, but she could care less
how you exist when you're living in a dreamworld.
When you're living in a dreamworld.
You're living in a dreamworld.
You're living in a dreamworld.
You're living in a dreamworld.
He grew up drinking milk from the cow, from the farm,
and was the trade his father's father's father made
him go giving back to his country.
He gave his both knees; he's overseas to fight the disease.
It's spreading fast over maps and it don't look back
when you're living in a dreamworld.
You're living in a dreamworld.
You're living in a dreamworld.
When you're living in a dreamworld.
You're living in a dreamworld.
It is the light of science fiction wings,
just like a jolly dizzy for zero, one, three times
the size of the people that came before
me and you and what we'd do for money--
this greed and jealousy turn to need.
See, I'm a man with a plan to use my hands.
I'm touching yours; you're the girl who wanted more.
Now babe, the story will fade from love to light--
the clover under your feet, the shooting star in the night.
The people under your feet are shooting stars in the night.
The people, all that you meet, are living in a dreamworld.
Living in a dreamworld
Living in a dreamworld
Living in a dreamworld
Ooh ooh (etc)

Twenty-five, a season off dope,
three sheets to the wind like a clothesline rope.
He's a spider on the Web.
She was a tiny woman;
he could sense her developing body was just the beginning.
She said 'Is anybody out there?'
She was bruised like a cherry, ripe as a peach.
How could he have known that she was only fifteen?
And she came to him like the tick on the noose,
a little blue eyed soul for his black and blues.
'It's a new eye move for the likes of me.
Our skin is like grass, let's smoke it real fast.
Is anybody out there?'
He was deep like a graveyard, wide like tv.
And how could he have known that she'd be down for almost anything?
But she was only, only, only fifteen!
'My oh my, you pretty thing,
it's about that time for us to meet.
Does your daddy have a shotgun?'
He was deep like a graveyard.
She was ripe as a peach.
And how could he have known that she was only fifteen?
She was only, only, only fifteen.
But she was only, only, only fifteen... |

I've been clubbed and I've been snubbed

You were stuck in the badlands,
acting like a bad, bad man.
I've been photographed and painted up,
and I've been in love only once.
And I've feared the best and loved the worst,

And watched your eyes as they poured,
and I never really loved you more,

I know you better

Dreamworld is very hard to figure out, but I heard this in the first part:

and now it's she and her and him and then, a baby next |
and this:

i think in 15 it's "wired like tv" instead of "wide" but it's hard to tell.

In 15, I can hear: 25, a seasoned adult?
Does that make sense?

I listened to the opening phrase a bunch of times just now and I clearly hear her saying the word "off"...
Damn it, this is why I wish all bands would print lyrics with their albums.
In the same song, I hear "like a tick on the news," not "noose." (Those scrolling things at the bottom of news channels are called "tickers.") Also, I hear "wired like TV," not "wide like TV."
(So far, this is the first song I've listened to while reading the lyrics to see if I hear what's written here. I'll probably come back and do the others later.)

And thank goodness for that.
I will try to get some of the likely-correct corrections put into the the lyrics soon though - thanks for everyone that's been helping out with this. Keep the corrections coming if you hear anything else I got wrong. |

How could these be the lyrics? That doesn't make sense at all, does it?

I don't understand this either.. I mean a lot of the lyrics for this album are strangely written. And yeah it's definitely 'wired like tv' in 15.

I swear I hear two syllables. So it's definitely not "less" unless he developed a slight stutter for this word. |

when RK performed Give A Little Love at the San Diego show I went to, Jenny said she wrote this song for a friend who is here tonight and is also from San Diego. Clearly she was talking about Blake. Then when I came on here and re read the lyrics I realized what a sad song it was. Now I cry when i hear it lol.

Yeah, its definitely "tick on the news" and that makes more sense within the context. I also hear wired like tv.

For Dreamworld, I always thought it was:
It is a lie out of science fiction reads
just like a child a to z
for zero one two three times
the size of the people that came before
instead of..
