I know you’ve been lookin’ for true-love’s dance, and
I’m hoping maybe last night offered us a chance
I know you’re waitin’ for that one and only, but
When we touched we moved way past lonely
Girl let me plead my case
I got lost in that smile, in that face
Baby, I don't know
If you believe in love
And in plans for us that come from above, but
In this world that sometimes seems so hollowed out
And preys on our fears and self doubts
There’s always room for love
There’s always room for love
You’re the girl I’ve been seein’, seein’ in my dreams
Baby please don't change, don't change a thing, cause
I’m still thankin’ the Lord each and every day
For sending you, sending you my way
I’m thinkin’ in overdrive
Using a few words just tryin’ to survive
Baby, I don't know
If you believe in love
And in plans for us that come from above, but
In this world that sometimes seems so hollowed out
And preys on our fears and self doubts
There’s always room for love
And those skinny girls
In all your glamour magazines, babe
They just need a hug and some real ice cream
Baby, I don't know
If you believe in love
And in plans for us that come from above, but
In this world that sometimes seems so hollowed out
And preys on our fears and self doubts
There’s always room for love
There’s always room for love
Yeah, There’s always room for love
Always room for love
I'm gettin' outta Piketown
I'm tellin' you Baby
I'm gettin' outta Piketown
And it's gettin' outta me
Back when Johnny showed up
In Eighteen Thirty-Five
The creek was full of fishes
That fed the local tribe
This will be a fine place
For us to settle down
Johnny told his people
And they called the place Piketown
Seventy years later
Turn of the century
Johnny's great great grandson
Opened up a factory
That produced automobiles
Or what passed for them then
By the time the wars were over
It employed ten thousand men
I offer you this background
So that we can set the stage
In the Midwest rust belt city
Where I was born and raised
But I'm gettin' outta Piketown
That you can believe
Yeah I'm gettin' outta Piketown
And it's gettin' outta me
At the end of the Eighties
They closed the factory
And everyone was wonderin'
What'd become of our city
Many of my friends' dads
Lost their jobs and moved away
And many more that stayed behind
Hit the taverns every day
It was about this time
I was in my senior year
My crew also took to drinkin'
Because that’s what you did here
We went out by the train tracks
Under the highway
In an old conversion van
We put our booze away
I'd been shootin' Smirnoff
When I stumbled to the barn
Even in my condition
What I saw raised my alarm
She had been my girlfriend
Still was some of the time
He was like a brother
And he should've known my mind
That I would try to kill him
For seein' what I saw
He left in an ambulance
I was hauled off by the Law
I got outta Piketown Prison
Fifteen years plus time served
Can't say I regret it
Bastard got what he deserved
Lookin' 'round the city now
Hard to reckon what I see
Condos on the Riverfront
Old plant's a microbrewery
So I'm gettin' outta Piketown
Now that I got a reprieve
Finally gettin' outta Piketown
Before Piketown kills me

Verse 1
Woke up lookin’ in the mirror, face feelin' rough,
Thought I’d fix these flaws, man, when’s enough enough?
Scrolling through the ‘gram, seein’ filters like a mask,
Braces on for years, but now I’m free to ask,
Did I trade my truth for a perfect kind of vibe?
Chasin’ all these trends, but they never help me thrive.
Eyebrows razor-thin, they say that’s the style,
Pulled ‘em out so quick, now I’m stuck in denial.
Chorus
Why’d I let ‘em tell me how to wear my skin?
Hidin’ all these freckles, tryna fit in with the kin.
But baby, look again, you’re shinin’ from within,
Stop lettin' haters dictate how your life begins.
(You know you’re beautiful)
Verse 2
Twenty-two with acne, yeah, I’m still here,
Laugh it off, they say, but inside, I’m drownin’ in fear.
Tryna keep it real while I’m drownin’ in doubt,
But my heart’s like, “Yo, what’s this all about?”
Overlay the face, but inside there’s a stranger,
Pushin’ through the pain like I’m dodgin’ a danger.
Snap back to reality, love the skin that I’m in,
‘Cause the only judge is the mirror I’m lookin’ in.
Chorus
Why’d I let ‘em tell me how to wear my skin?
Hidin’ all these freckles, tryna fit in with the kin.
But baby, look again, you’re shinin’ from within,
Stop lettin' haters dictate how your life begins.
(You know you’re beautiful)
Bridge
So I’ll stand up tall, let ‘em see the real me,
No more mask on my face, just the truth that I breathe.
Forget the fleeting trends, I’m a classic in the making,
Self-love’s the vibe, every step I’m taking.
Outro
You’re kinda lookin’ like a star, don’t you ever forget,
Why swap out your sparkle for someone else’s threat?
Your freckles tell a story, every mark a piece of art,
So embrace your beauty, baby, it’s the perfect start.
(You know you’re beautiful)
I was chasing this rabbit across the railroad tracks;
Someone failed to tell me that he's not comin back;
Are ya gonna eat them raisins;
I'd be mortified picture this in a window you standing here;
with your hands up in the air sayN;
I got apple juice, but my oranges are loose;
I'm just craving;
Smokin bacon
What ya want me to do
Repent heathen;
before you stop breathing;
I'm not afraid of you;
We all have a story let's get along;
Have you been reborn;
So we may live forever in glory;
(now for the rest of the story);
I don't know what you saying, I don't know why I'm here;
I don't think ya is playN, I think yall sincere;
Put down that bacon, pull up a chair;
Can't believe what I'm seein, must be born again;
I don't know why I'm here, but God has made me so I must be real;
Some people smoke roc;
Some smoke Mary Jane;
But I will not, do this thang, I reframe...
Some people forever the bottle run turn it up, turn it down;
But I'm here to tell you I'm gonna keep on praising HIM
Smokin bacon
What ya want me to do
Repent heathen;
before you stop breathing;
I'm not afraid of you;
We all have a story let's get along;
Have you been reborn;
So we may live forever in glory;
Smokin bacon
Not least no cured ham
No pig or barbecue just a mere man;
I'd better repent of my sins turn around be born again;
Or I may wind up burning in Hell;
I sho nuff now gonna start praisN the all the great King I AM
Smokin bacon
What ya want me to do;
Repent heathen
I'm not afraid of you
We all have a story, let's get along, Let's get through;
So we may live forever in glory;
Now that you heard my story;
What ya gonna do?
Now I am hungry....

I am the dark
Pigment in grey
I am the nail that binds the culms
Of our Bamboo bridge
I am the cement
That makes up the walls
Of the brokenhearted
But seeing me thru' your eye
I am nothing more than the rope
Hanging to your ceiling
For your suicidal ideation
You made me the worse
Oh yeah
I don't blame you
'Cos medicine kills people
And it also heals
It's just how your use it...

If it’s the thrill of the hunt
The chase that you want, I’m game
In the darkness of night when we make love
I’ll have you calling out my name
Every lingering thought has got me caught up
In another time another place
One where we’ll get the chance to meet up
And I can tell you face to face
I wanna see you
Hold you
Touch you
Show you
Just how much farther we can fall
You know I want you
I need you
I can’t go on without you
There’s still so much farther we can fall
There’s still so much farther we can fall
There’s a big love in a small town
That still hasn’t got around to bein’
And everyone that knows them knows exactly
Exactly what they’re seein’
So should our time ever come I won’t run
Cause I still believe in
What’s meant to be will always be forever
And that’s what’s got me thinkin’
I wanna see you
Hold you
Touch you
Show you
Just how much farther we can fall
You know I want you
I need you
I can’t go on without you
There’s still so much farther we can fall
There’s still so much farther we can fall
There’s a slow dance for old friends
A second chance at romance
We only have to tear down the walls
So tomorrow I guess I’ll take the first step
And finally make the call
Cause I wanna see you
Hold you
Touch you
Show you
Just how much farther we can fall
You know I want you
I need you
I can’t go on without you
There’s still so much farther we can fall
There’s still so much farther we can fall
Jumped on a ship in Boston
Set sail for the open seas,
Give my lady one last kiss
It'll be awhile she'll be seein me.
I said, "dont worry darlin,
I'll carry you right here in my heart;"
I watched her wave with a tear in her eye,
You know it tore my soul apart.
Been travelin now bout four months
Or maybe a little while more;
Sent off a letter to my lady-love
The day we first made shore.
Told her how much i missed her,
And how i longed to hold her so;
Please know im thinkin of you baby,
But for now love i have to go.
Boson handed me a letter,
When we made the next Port of Call,
Tore it open like a kid at Christmas,
Now i wished i didnt touch it at all,
She said she was so lonely,
And she met a man who loved her so;
She said," sorry it had to be this way,
but its for the best you know."
Time seems to moves so slowly,
When the sea becomes your home;
Loves will come and go with the wind,
And you still wind up all alone.
Now the sea has become my lady,
She gently rocks me to sleep at night;
And though i miss a womans touch,
My soul will be with the sea tonite.
Alaina
Se llamaba Alaina
She stole my heart in a cabana
I still can’t listen to Santana
I need my gotta see my Alaina-na-na-na
My Alaina-na-na-na
Oh oh oh oh oh, um um um um
Her hips did all the talkin’
I knew I was a dead-man-walkin’
There’s no defense against those curves
Can’t say it wasn’t worth the pain I endured from
Alaina
Se llamaba Alaina
She stole my heart in a cabana
I still can’t listen to Santana
I need my gotta see my Alaina-na-na-na
My Alaina-na-na-na
Oh oh oh oh oh, um um um um
I had no doubt she’d be trouble
Her smile had me seein’ double
I love the places she takes me
So not knowin’ where she is, is makin’ me crazy for
Alaina
Se llamaba Alaina
She stole my heart in a cabana
I still can’t listen to Santana
I need my gotta see my Alaina-na-na-na
My Alaina-na-na-na
Oh oh oh oh oh, um um um um
My Alaina
Se llamaba Alaina
She stole my heart in a cabana
I still can’t listen to Santana
I need my gotta see my Alaina
Se llamaba Alaina
If he makes you wonder just how much you're loved
Then baby he's doin' it wrong
If his heart doesn't melt at the thought of your touch
Then you're somewhere where you don't belong
If he's not seein' stars every time you make love
Then I know a place you can run
You need to know that I'd love you better
In my eyes you'd see nothin' short of forever
My heart would follow wherever you go
I'd be all in baby body and soul
You need to know
If when you're apart he don't go insane
Then I'm tellin' you somethin' ain't right
If the smell of your skin the taste of your lips
Doesn't light up his fire
Then I know somebody who'd trade everything
To be what he never could be
You need to know that I'd love you better
In my eyes you'd see nothin' short of forever
My heart would follow wherever you go
I'd be all in baby body and soul
You need to know
You'd never feel second best
Or have to ask me where you stand
You need to know that I'd love you better
In my eyes you'd see nothin' short of forever
My heart would follow wherever you go
I'd be all in baby body and soul
You need to know
When you watch a show for many years,
The characters you’re viewing
Become like friends; you care about
Their lives and what they’re doing.
So when the final season wraps,
It’s sad to know they’re leaving
And part of you might even do
A tiny bit of grieving.
Of course, the actors will disperse,
Their fictional creations
Abandoned as they seek some other
Brand-new adaptations.
But we, the audience, will miss
The Gallaghers of “Shameless,”
Who felt so real that their portrayers
Surely aren’t blameless.
Farewell to Frank, Fiona, Lip,
To Debbie, Carl and Ian;
To Kevin, V and all the rest
I never tired of seein’.
I thank you for 11 years
Of TV time enjoyment
And hope each actor finds, real soon,
Fulfilling new employment.
