Cash Is King 04:26
lyrics
buy track
You You make me feel like a queen In this castle these four walls that you built around me But I I get so lonely upon my throne You give me all these things but all I want is your hand to hold Oh there you go again Giving me shiny things Oh I know I should have nothing to fear With cash being king around here You You're gone for so many days of the year That when you lie beside me I can't believe that you're there And you You say that it's sacrifice But how can something that makes you so unhappy be so right Oh there you go again Giving me shiny things Oh I know I should have nothing to fear With cash being king around here Go! When When the bills have all been paid And we own everything except the time that has slipped away And when When it's all over and done Will you just be too old then to reclaim your kingdom Oh there you go again Giving me shiny things Oh I know I should have nothing to fear With cash being king around here Oh darling, cash is king around here Let's face it cash is king around here

Bird On The Wing 04:00
lyrics

I feel like I've been living life this awful way It's detrimental to my soul I feel stuck inside this cage that I have made And can't seem to break away When I fly through the deep dark forest I feel alive When the moonlight catches that sparkle in my eye But I feel broken down and thrown out Of my paradise I hate the nights when I am longing for the sky A way to spread my wings All I need is a way to be free And find my voice to sing Like a bird on the wing There's a place that lies inside my mind It's dark, cold, and dim I feel my castle crumbling down from inside out Oh I can never win Sometimes I get caught way up here In this atmosphere Swirling in the wind and cold Can't find my way home How the hell did I get here? I hate the nights when I am longing for the sky A way to spread my wings All I need is a way to be free And find my voice to sing Like a bird on the wing Oh, oh, oh, oh Like a bird on the wing Oh, oh, oh, oh Like a bird on the wing Oh, oh, oh, oh Like a bird on the wing Oh, oh, oh, oh Like a bird on the wing Please don't say That it will stay this way Cause I don't think I can handle one more day I hate the nights when I am longing for the sky A way to spread my wings All I need is a way to be free And find my voice to sing Like a bird on the wing Oh, oh, oh, oh Like a bird on the wing Oh, oh, oh, oh Like a bird on the wing Oh, oh, oh, oh Like a bird on the wing Oh, oh, oh, oh Like a bird on the wing

When the night has fallen And you've got nowhere to go Well they're just getting started Get ready for the show Cause they will take over Take over your soul I can feel them igniting Get ready for the show Oh you better be afraid Of these monsters on parade Of these monsters on parade These monsters on parade Monsters on parade They're carrying pitchforks Just like a wrinkle back in time Defying all logic And poisoning your mind And you better run boy Give your head a shake Cause they're calling witch boy And they'll burn you at the stake Oh you better be afraid Of these monsters on parade Of these monsters on parade These monsters on parade Monsters on parade When the sun has rosen And you've put them all to bed Well you just feel broken Tired and destressed This is not the life you chose boy This is the life they chose for you And you can't escape it No matter what you do Oh you better be afraid Oh you can't be saved Oh you'll take them to your grave These monsters on parade Monsters on parade Monsters on parade Monsters on parade Monsters on parade

The Way That It Gets 04:08

That's just the way that it goes they say w When things don't go your way It is what it is and that's all you can do You just live to fight another day Well that can't be it yes there has to be more There has to be more to this life Then being strapped in and shaken about Like some crazy amusement park ride But I guess that's the way it gets I guess I guess that's the way that it gets I guess that's the way that it gets my friends I guess that's the way that it gets Oh I guess I thought I would be more further along Looking back from here But now I just find myself in middle age Trying to face all of my fears Cause when I was younger the passion was there And I was filled with so much desire But now it's just only burned to the coals And I'm trying to rekindle this fire But I guess that's the way it gets I guess I guess that's the way that it gets I guess that's the way that it gets my friends I guess that's the way that it gets Oh I guess So I tell you now and you're fresh to the earth Just like I wish someone told me That life isn't rainbows and all of the things That you'd really hope they would be So stand up tall child yes stand on your own And fight the demons that be If you don't then you'll find yourself stuck in one place Yeah stuck in one place just like me But I guess that's the way it gets I guess I guess that's the way that it gets I guess that's the way that it gets my friends I guess that's the way that it gets I guess that's the way it gets I guess I guess that's the way that it gets I guess that's the way that it gets my friends I guess that's the way that it gets Oh I guess I guess

I've Got You 04:14
lyrics

Airports filling up People taking holidays They'll spend all their money On some island far away And here we sit On our front porch step I don't need to see anything That I haven't seen just yet Honey I don't need to see the world Honey I don't need to see oceans of blue Honey I don't need to see the seven wonders When I've got you When I've got you People building houses As big as the empire state They'll have so many rooms That they'll never even see And here we are In our sweet little bungalow We could live in anything Cause any place with you it feels like home Honey I don't need a big ol' castle I swear you could make a home out of popsicle sticks and glue Honey I don't need a big ol' mansion When I've got you When I've got you It don't matter where we go Nova Scotia or Ontario As long as we can stay Forever this way Until we're old and grey Honey I don't need to see the world Honey I don't need to see oceans of blue Honey I don't need to see the seven wonders When I've got you When I've got you Honey I know that this is forever I don't need those things that are borrowed and blue Life right now is pure perfection Cause I've got you Cause I've got you Cause I've got you Cause I've got you

Homemade 03:52

Just a wooden boat that sits upon the shelf It must be about twenty years old It was made from scratch by my Granddad And gave to me when I was just a little girl Oh you'll never know Oh you'll treasure those things as you grow Oh they were the best gifts ever gave Oh homemade Just a knitted quilt that lays upon the bed It must be about ten years old And it's things like that That can't be bought or sold Oh you'll never know Oh you'll treasure those things as you grow Oh they were the best gifts ever gave Oh homemade It's not the price tags that lasts through the ages It's not the price tags that solidifies the friendships Years from now I'll take out everything I've saved Homemade Oh you'll never know Oh you'll treasure those things as you grow Oh they were the best gifts ever gave Oh homemade

When It All Comes Down 03:30
lyrics

Just got to stand up and laugh Cause what else am I supposed to do? When I feel like the world is laughing at me Well I'm gonna laugh back to And it's a long hard fall When you're falling it on your own And just when I feel I'm starting to rise I'm kicked right off of my throne Cause when it all comes down It all comes down When it all comes down It all comes down I can see the Devil dancing Oh I can spot him from a mile away I start wringing my hands and shaking my fists Saying no Satan not today But he's coming up fast And he's coming in hot Ah I say what the hell what else can you do? Come on give me all that you got Cause when it all comes down It all comes down When it all comes down It all comes down And all these petty problems Won't matter much anymore When the evening comes and the day in thin My friends walk through the door We'll laugh and talk all evening With not a single care in the world I may not have money But I'm still just as rich of a girl Cause when it all comes down I'll still have everybody around And they'll help me pick myself off the ground When it all comes down It all comes down When it all comes down It all comes down When it all comes down It all comes down When it all comes down It all comes down When it all comes down It all comes down
