'Just like the other ones
who came before you
you'll take my heart in hand
and break it in two
you tell me there isn't a reason 
to go on, 
well let me tell you one:

(chorus)
I'm gonna save this world
Im gonna save this world
Im gonna save this world
for you…

you stayed with me just long enough
to watch me weather
I wish i could pick it all up
and put it back together
you know that our kind of love 
will never die, 
don't you wonder why…

(chorus)

Recorded Feb. 6th, 2014

One time many years ago I had a crush on a waitress from Queens. We worked together in a raw foods restaurant in Gramercy. Ridiculous, right? If you only knew just how much...

"Honey I like the way you carry your tray
 you always have just good things to say
 you tell me I'm crazy I don't know what that means
 all that I know is you're a girl from Queens...

 can I pick you up and take you home?
 make you my Sweetheart of the Rodeo?
 say you'll never do me no harm,
 but I know you will..
 my Rodeo...

 I'm not Achilles baby, this isn't Troy
 Even though I know that Hector's your boy
 Maybe your mama won't let go of you yet
 I know my chances but I'm placing my bet...

 (chorus)

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

"Well you get 
  what you give
  that's the way everybody lives
  and if you give me a minute I think I can open your eyes...

  What's a Boy?
  What's a Girl? 
  Whatever difference is there in the world?
  Here's your big opportunity to step and rise above -
  If I got one message
  well I guess that message is LOVE..!"

"Some times them people make you feel so alone
oh stop that cryin’ don’t lemme hear ya weep and moan 
Gimme your hand lemme pull ya up outta that hole
I got a solution: just love your rock n roll!
I won’t stop rockin’ till my goddamn dyin’ day
Im gonna keep hollerin’ till they take me away
So step back grommet, let me show you how it’s done
Lay down or get out the way 
Imma drop like a ton
I got no time for friends 
Got no time for love
I only got the time 
Given me from above
But I think I got enough time to go one more round 
Yeah I think I got enough time to rock this place
Into the ground!"

"If you wanna pretend that we're friends,
and that we will be till the end,
just keep on telling yourself,
but you won't fool nobody else.
Cause the things that you did they were wrong,
and your list of excuses is long
still I feel so sad
how did it turn out so bad?"

"You said it was easy 
You said it it to please me 
Then you take a ride
growin'-up/middle-age is not what you thought it was going to be...

So you grab ahold of somethin'
'cause that blood just keeps pumping through your stupid heart...
you know in the end there’s only one way you can be free…

But don’t fall away
We need you here today
Don’t stop, don’t wait
Don’t lose your mind to hate
Don’t stand around
Lay your weapons down 
Wake your mind!
Don't waste any time...!"

"They say sometimes when god closes a door, he opens a window. Well sometimes, you just gotta kick that door right off it's fuckin' hinges.

Some people think they're meant to be alone, 
it's so much harder when you're on you're own, 
you gotta find someone 
you gotta find someone...
Don't be afraid to do a thing so great, 
go and make it happen cause it won't wait,
you you gotta find someone, 
get behind someone...

I looked all around,
looked, but all I found is
there ain't nobody but you 
          ain't nobody but you,
          ain't nobody but you 
all the other lovers just fade away and
there ain't nobody but you

Well you're the center of the universe,
keep on givin' back until it hurts
you gotta love someone,
don't be above no one
If you're thinkin that you're gonna fall,
when there's no one left for you to call
you gotta love yourself,
cause there's 
no
one 
      else..."

"Stay, little bird, don't listen to gravity's call-
  it's a long way to the ground, I'm certain that I'll
  see you fall...
                         Mother, Grandmother; you don't know how it 
                         feels.
                         Mother, Grandmother, I've got wings 
                         not wheels.
  Stay, little bird, don't listen to gravity's call-
  it's a long way to the ground, I'm certain that I'll
  see you fall...
                         Mother, Grandmother, you know I 
                         can't stay.
                         Mother, Grandmother, I'ver got to 
                         Fly away..."
