bamboo - 04

I?ll move on here lying in my cozy bed
What?s next on my list too much to think about
Maybe I?m better off dead
Realize when everything?s done and said I?d given up

Goodbye friend we never really had a chance to talk
Take a breath just a minute or two
Let me try to find a reason for what you?re about to do
What are you about to do

You got our attention let?s all just settle down
So you did the unimaginable oh I hope you?re proud
Cuz it?s never gonna be the same
Cuz it?s never gonna be the same

Brother is this it was this some race to the end
Save me from myself remind me what I have to do
Cuz from time to time I seem to forget
O yes the sun will rise again
Talk to you later? friend

Goodbye friend

bamboo - alpha beta omega

Search and you?ll define
The sky between the lines I could never tell truth from victim
Escape is a tired line
Knock knock
Sun is creeping laying down the land a smear on the wicked
Now if you?re ready to bleed
Turn your head
From the right follow me
Give chase to my shadows disarmed with a whisper
No gun in my hand whatever happened to honor brother
Fight me man to man - look me in the eye
I got a family a feed
Will I learn from this
What can you teach me

It?s out of control
The times are crazy
We don?t even care who sits on the throne
Doesn?t matter to most of us
Just don?t mess with the status quo
Gas paint my picture everyday
Every stone?s been thrown
Lay siege to my kingdom
My covers blown
You blind dealing with death
Every dollar a headstone
Where the rich get richer
The poor just multiply
That?s smart divide and conquer
I keep em entertained
While your steal their hard-earned mula
Was there ever a time we dreamed of something better?
Sounds real good but you?re telling me to wait for fairer weather

Let it rain
Fire from the sky
Heaven help us (do you truly believe)
Only the strong should survive
With permission I make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire? from the fire

Yes sir yes ma?am I get the picture
We educate the masses who?s gonna be cooking our dinners
Such a waste of time thinking we have to raise our own sons and daughters
When you can pay below the minimum (shoot that man)
Excuse me but can I follow up that order
But all this talk don?t come cheap
We all know what has to be done
Our very own personal revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Revolution revolution revolution

Now here you come walking into my part of town
Telling people you have such a solution
Quick fix you got a story
Boy meets girl ? stop they have kids
Poppa works while Ma raises the ten babies
She?s praying every night that they?ll one day hit the jackpot
9 lucky numbers win the lottery
A million gets me out of this hole
But when the well dries up where do I go
Little Pablo doesn?t even know how to read or write
I?m starving sweet Ana so I can get a good price for her
2 down 8 to go oh wait he?s got good skin tone
got nice smile and accent but kinda smells though
now where do you think you going talking that kind of tank
that doesn?t happen not on my watch no that doesn?t happen
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
Let?s give em a fighting chance and see where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
If I don?t do nothing let?s see where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
They got front row seats don?t tell me they know
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
They don?t need your donation what about education

bamboo - children of the sun

Take your best shot?

You crossed the line
You think you?ve paid your dues
You?re here to take what?s mine
Run for cover son this is no challenge for the weak
Ain?t taking victims
Ride this winner to the end
Ride this winner to the end of the line

Children of the sun
Fight on fight harder
This is the call
Children of the sun
Fight on fight on

bamboo - dinner at 6

Dinner at 6 i can no longer wait for your call
I?ve been waiting for days
It?s hard for me to think you?ve forgotten my number
When we had such a nice chat the other day
Hope nothing serious has happened it?s been a good weekend
Called my mother 3 times
My streaks finally broken
It?s been awhile since i?ve seen such a lovely face
Will nothing spoil my day? let nothing spoil my day
I?m afraid to look
Only to find you could be just like the rest
Give me a sign you think you?ve figured me out
I?m a mess still you want to stay
Like fine wine this keeps getting better with time so what?s the delay
Well i know this all looks bad but underneath it all
But your timing couldn?t be any better this is my curtain call
Well i know you know my name that little look you gave gave you away
So behave i?ll be nice mother i don?t need to be told twice 6 in the morning
I?m still here? i?m still here
What you read in the paper i tell you their lies
Stop looking at me with those vanishing eyes
The gods have spoken and i?m forced to fib it was the night of night
I went out for a little drink
Met up with an old friend said hello
Goodbye? i gotta go home only to find nobody
You afraid to take a hard look let me sell you my story
It?s tragic you think you?ve figured me out you still don?t want to stay
Save my tears for later i got something cooking
Let?s not delay? better behave
Take a better look at myself
Better behave take a closer look at myself
This is a shame
This is a shame
Have i fallen from grace
Have i fallen from grace
I?ve fallen
I?ve fallen
I?ve fallen?

bamboo - hallelujah

Anong balita sa radio at TV
Ganun pa rin kumakapa sa dilim
Minsa?y na isip ko ng umalis na lang dito
Limutan ang lahat, lumipad, lumayo

Bato bato sa langit
Tamaan wag magalit
Alam naman natin kung sino ang tuso

Sa bawat sumpang umi-iyak singil ko ay piso
Sa bawat lumuluhang dukha ? alay ko?y dugo

May pag-asa ka kapatid. Kaibigan
Hanga?t ako?y humihinga may pag-asa pa

Hallelujah

Sinong sawa sinong galit
Sumigaw ngayong gabi

Hallelujah

Blinded by the light
I could barely see the faces in front of me
Asking me where do we begin
Well for starters from within
I?m ashamed of what I?ve become in the mirror
The face of my one true enemy
Hallelujah it?s a new day
Let take control if I have to take this message door to door
Save myself save every soul
With permission I make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire? from the fire

Ngayong gabi ako ang sundalo mo
Habang ika?y tulog ako?y gising nakabantay sa iyo - kasi mahal kita
Tingnan mo pag-ibig ko?y sa iyo lamang

bamboo - i you

Pain
Leads to freedom
It?s everyone?s opinion not my own
Fame
Crystal kingdom
It?s everybody?s mission not my own

Not too young
Not that old
Neither bitter
Neither cold

Just an optimist
Who?s become a little cynical
Under gloom
Don?t be afraid
Love is stronger than it all
Stronger than this soul divided

All these years I never really know what love is
Til I found you? found you

This new faith where the altar is the bed
Where the church feels like a motel room
Where gold turns to lead
Hello
Do you believe
Love is stronger than us all
Stronger than two worlds colliding

I-you burn like fire from below sears the flesh feeds the souls desire?
I-you stronger than before rising through the dust like a phoenix

bamboo - light years

hello...
goodbye...
leave me alone
don't wanna be with anyone

lie awake in bed
my eyes are closed
i bet you think i'm wasted
hit me if you think it's worth it

if you think i've crossed the line
i'll see you somewhere
out there

i know you think i'm crazy
or a schizo maybe
or a drug fiend addict

but i know what's real
i know you faked it
coz lies are what we have in your world
read all the books of life
looked at myself
where did the years go?
they're lost within the pages of time

if you think i've crossed the line
i'll see you somewhere
out there

something about it makes me
something about it takes me
something about you makes me
high
so high

me and my folk guitar
we've seen
a glimpse of the wild world
it's beautiful
it's crazy
a lot of people that we know
they talk about us
they say we've lost it
they're too far away from venus i say

if you think i've crossed the line
i'll see you somewhere
out there

if they know what we know
i'll see you somewhere
out there

coz' light years from now
they'll find it somehow
coz it's beautiful
coz it's beautiful out there

bamboo - much has been said

Much has been said
Said you never leave
Why?d it have to be
Harder than it had to be
Don?t you throw blame
You were a part of this
Wasn?t suppose to end
With us just walking away
So many times we tried
Holding on to the pain but in my baby?s eyes I see my shame
Asking why you had to leave
Wasn?t I strong enough to make you see
That the biggest part of this
It?s not about you and me
But just be wrong if we held on
Maybe tomorrow we?ll find
A taste for the old days hard lessons
We?ve left behind
This mirrors an open door
I can barely stand to see myself
I don?t know what to do anymore
I?m crying out for help
Ohh lord
Much has been said
Will I never learn
Keeping my fingers crossed
Praying for my luck to turn
But I can?t complain
I?m living it easy
Job?s keeping me busy
Going crazy
Can?t describe the way it felt
When you left said your goodbyes
It just seems crazy for me to think
That I?ll find love a second time
But we all know how it all wraps up in the end
Maybe tomorrow we?ll find
Ohhh lord?
What am I leaving behind
Sweet how we see the big picture when your life?s not on the line
I know the way out but do you see what I see
A tortured life always second guessing the bookie
Put money on the table thought that was all I had to do
Never came home
Never said a word to you
No one ever said it was going to be easy?
Easy start over again this time this time
Let?s do it right
Start over again this time this time
Let?s keep the fires burning

bamboo - peace man

I have words to say to you my friend
Is it hard to know what?s right from wrong
Have you ever felt your life so self assured
You don?t know the things that you?ve done wrong

And then we?ll say
We?ll rip out our covers
Shake the walls until they break
I?ll hold out my hand to you
Supreme love and respect
Peace man

At first it seems so daunting
How to start or how to grow
But make believe becomes a living
Cuz in life, in life you will know

Peace man

bamboo - so far away

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know that you're just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you're so far away

One more song about movin' along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it bein' close to you

But you're so far away
You're so far away

Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin' else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
But there's so many dreams
I've yet to find

But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know, it doesn't help to knowIt doesn't help to know

You're so far away

bamboo - take me down

Take me down
Gimme the score
Tell me I?m gone
Tell me I?m done
You?ve counted me out
Before the last bell has rung
Tell me I?m gone

Here brick by brick
Let?s rebuild this lovely scene
You say blood is thicker boy
But it?s not what these eyes see
The truth is bitter real
Yes it?s a spinning wheel
Round and around and around we go
You know I never really could get into
our conversations
Just merely confrontations
It?s a lovefest, an inspiration

You try to play preacher
And teach me the ways of the world
The path you have taken
The dark road
Was built on the lies that were told

Take me down
Gimme the score tell me I?m gone
Tell me I?m done
You?ve counted me out
before the last bell has rung
Take me down
Deeper and deeper
Right through the heart
Tell me I?m done
All roads are blocked
and there?s no where to run
Tell me I?m gone

You know I?ve been wandering
And dragging this heavy soul
Lord knows
These lessons you?re selling
Soul medicine
Isn?t try to meet ya
On that high plateau
So take the message to the chief
tell him I ain?t coming
This heart?s to proud it can?t be broken
It?s a black tie affair
And guess who?s coming to dinner

You make the words sound so sweet
Let?s pretend that everythings
Gonna be alright. Alright
It took me a second to read ya
Just wasn?t my game fool
Face me when I speak to ya

Take me down?

bamboo - truth

Can?t believe how you set me free
The way you purify this soul don?t you know
Got you into my arms now I?m never letting go
This old dog is finally home? finally home? GO!

Chorus
Tell me what you want
I?ll pay the price
What?s money I?ll roll the dice
Lose it all I take the fall
I?ll let it ride
As long as I have you at my side

Friend or foe you come to me
Wasn?t sure how deep a hole I was getting into
Yet I choose to wake up every mornin with a smile on my face
Or see life for what it is one big fat race? GO!

*chorus

I?ve played the fool
Thinking I can catch you off guard and score another night with you
But the tables have been turned
This boy?s about to get burned
But before I go I gotta know - gotta know

Let?s not forget
You kept me waiting
What can I do to get through to you
Tired of singin to myself
I need a lesson
I need a blessing
The shoe fits all we need is a little glue
I hate what you do

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want

bamboo - waitin in vain

I don't wanna wait for your love

First time I rest my eyes on you, girl
My heart said follow through
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting feeling's fine

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
Cause I know how to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gotta come, you see

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait for your love

Like I said
It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl - is it crazy look, I wanna know
I wanna know is not for show
You see

In life is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
Cause I'm waitin'
Cause I'm waitin' for my turn
You see

I don't wanna wait for your love
You see
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
You see
I don't wanna wait for your love

'Cause summer is here, and I'm still waiting there
Winter is here, and I'm still waiting there

I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna wait in vain

bamboo - war of hearts and minds

War of hearts and minds
Who will pay the price?
Does anybody care?
It?s not make believe
You?ve seen it on your TV screens
I?m glad you?re not here

Take my wife please
If you think it?s funny
Cut my heart out for a souvenir
Take my life please
If you think it?s worth it
I?m glad you?re not here

War of hearts and minds
7 days later
I still can?t find
Truth and peace
How will I find my way
They say love, love without fear
Is said to be the key
But just look around
No clear answer to be found
Get me out of here

Take my wife please
If you think it?s funny
Cut my heart out for a souvenir
Take my life please
If you think it?s worth it
I?m glad you?re not here
