Elmo's fire/I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky/I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher/Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels/Take me where my future's lyin'… the BCTV Daily Dispatch! With much love & respect to John Parr for "St[...]

Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free?/The birth of a song, the death of a dream/Closer to the edge/This never-ending story/Paid for with pride and faith/We all fall short of glory/Lost in our faith/No, I'm not saying "I'm sorry"/One day, maybe we'll meet again/No, I'm not saying "I'm sorry"/One day, maybe we'll[...]

Up in the club with my homies, trying to get a lil' V-I/Keep it down on the low-key (low-key)/You should know how it feels (hey!)/I saw this shorty, she was checking up on me/From the game she was spitting in my ear/You would think that she know me (know me)/I decided to chill (okay!)/Conversation got[...]

I get lost under these lights/I get lost in the words I say/Start believing my own lies/Like everything will be okay/Oh, I still dream of simple life/Boy meets girl, makes her his wife/But love don't exist/When you live like this/That much I know, yes I know/All these roads steer me wrong/But I still drive them[...]

We don't have to be ordinary/Make your best mistakes/'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry/So baby, be the life of the party/I'm tellin' you to take your shot, it might be scary/Hearts are gonna break/'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry/So baby, be the life of the party… with the BCTV[...]

I'm only twenty-three for another hour, give or take/I'm a fan of yours and I need a good mistake/I'm not a sinner or preacher, all I have is sleight of hand/I do magic tricks for all the boys in the band/Baby, could I be the rabbit in your hat?/I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand[...]

I see you naked in the/Bath/Cigarette stains on your/Hands/Wilted flowers in a vase/And I ask how you are/I see your lipstick on/Your glass/And I think you're drunk/And start to laugh/And I find your note the/Letters ran/And it said I loved you/Don't ask why/Sixteen candles down… the BCTV Daily Dispatch!

I know he hurt you/Made you scared of love, too scared to love/He didn't deserve you/'Cause your precious heart is a precious heart/He didn't know what he had and I thank God, oh, oh, oh/And it's gonna take just a little time/But you're gonna see that I was born to love you/What if I fall[...]

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/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… with the BCTV Daily Dispatch![...]

It's always times like these when I think of you/And wonder if you ever think of me/'Cause everything's so wrong, and I don't belong/Living in your precious memory/'Cause I need you/And I miss you/And now I wonder/If I could fall into the sky/Do you think time would pass me by?/Oh, 'cause you know I'd walk[...]

Don't you go/It makes no sense/When all your talking supermen/Just take away the time/And get in the way/Ain't it just like rain/And love, is only heaven away/Inside you the time moves/And she don't fade/The ghost in you/She don't fade/Inside you the time moves/And… the BCTV Daily Dispatch! With much love & respect to The Psychedelic[...]

Sometimes I wake up in the morning/Sometimes I dream small/I keep my wounds without a bandage baby/As I come stumbling through the door/Spend my nights in this location/Talking to spirits on the floor/I think I came to find the feeling baby/Between what was mine and what was yours/And I came to get hurt,/Might as well[...]

Don't cut out my paper heart, I ain't dyin' anyway/Take a look at eye-full towers/Never trust them dirty liars/Sippin' lemon yellow booze 'ole' Leadbelly sings the blues/All dressed up on weddin' day keep on trippin' anyway/I am, I am, I said I'm not myself, but I'm not dead and I'm not for sale/So keep your[...]

She's talking to angels/She's counting the stars/Making a wish on a passing car/She's dancing with strangers/She's falling apart/Waiting for Superman to pick her up/In his arms/Yeah/In his arms/Yeah/She's waiting for Superman/To lift her up/And take her anywhere/Show her love/And climbing through the air/Save her now/Before it's too late tonight/Oh/Like … the BCTV Daily Dispatch!

When you've been fighting for it all your life/You've been struggling to make things right/That's how a superhero learns to fly/Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power/When you've fighting for it all your life/You've been working every day and night/That's how a superhero learns to fly/Every day, every hour, turn the pain into[...]

We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way/It's miserable and magical, oh yeah/Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks/It's time, oh-oh/I don't know about you/But I'm feeling 22/Everything will be alright if/You keep me next to you/You don't know about me/But I'll bet you want to/Everything will be alright if/We just[...]

I'm goin' so fast that I can't slow down/It's hard to get up when you're spinnin' round and round/I'd give you the news but nothin's changed/I'd sing you a song but they blew it away/All wrapped up in this stupid ass game/Hey/California waiting/Every little thing's gotta be just right/Say/While you're tryin' to save me/Can't I[...]

Saw you standing there/Outside the music hall you come out for some air/Until your curtain call and everyone just stared/When you took the stage that night/Somethings not right/You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone/You left all the lights burning but nobodies home/I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long/And they[...]

I am driving up/85 in the/Kind of morning that/Lasts all afternoon/I'm just stuck inside the gloom/Four more exits to/My apartment but/I am tempted to/Keep the car in drive/And leave it all behind/'Cause I wonder sometimes/About the outcome/Of a still verdictless life/Am I living it right?/Am I living it right?/Am I living it right?/ Why, why[...]

Everything'll Be Alright/Instead of asking him how much of your time is left/Ask him how much of your mind, baby/'Cause in this life/Things are much harder than in the afterworld/In this life/You're on your own/And if the elevator tries to bring you down/Go crazy, punch a higher floor… to the BCTV Daily Dispatch! With much[...]

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night/The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago/Turned around backwards so the windshield shows/Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse/Still, it's so much clearer/I forgot my shirt at the water's edge/The moon is low tonight… for the BCTV Daily Dispatch! With much love & respect to REM for "Nightswimming'" (video at[...]

So long ago/It's a certain time/It's a certain place/You touched my hand and you smiled/All the way back you held out your hand/If I hope and if I pray/Ooh it might work out someday/If I live to see the seven wonders/I'll make a path to the rainbow's end/I'll never live to match the beauty again…[...]

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit/Don't give my sister a cuddly toy/We don't want a jigsaw or Monopoly money/We only want the real McCoy/Father Christmas, give us the money/We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed/Father Christmas, give us the money/Don't mess around with those silly toys/We'll beat you up if you[...]

We doin', big pimpin', we spendin' cheese/Check 'em out now/Big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s/We doin' big pimpin' up in N.Y.C./It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and Bun B/Yo… yo… yo… big pimpin', spendin' cheese/We doin' big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s/We doin' big pimpin' up in N.Y.C./It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and Bun B… and[...]

Sailors fighting in the dance hall/Oh man, look at those cavemen go/It's the freakiest show/Take a look at the lawman/Beating up the wrong guy/Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know/He's in the best selling show/Is there life on Mars… with the BCTV Daily Dispatch?

Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain/Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain/Time starts to pass, before you know it, you're frozen, ooh/But something happened for the very first time with you/My heart melts into the ground, found something true/And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy, oh/But I[...]

Do you remember, 21st night of September?/Love was changing the mind of pretenders/While chasing the clouds away/Our hearts were ringing/In the key that our souls were singing/As we danced in the night/Remember/How the stars stole the night away, oh yeah/Hey, hey, hey/Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?/Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September/Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day… with[...]

The more you see, the less you know/The less you find out as you go/I knew much more then/Than I do now/Neon-heart, day-glow eyes/A city lit by fireflies/They're advertising in the skies/For people like us/And I miss you when you're not around/I'm getting ready to leave the ground/Oh, you look so beautiful tonight/In the city[...]
