Only You (Tesla)

Only You

In a world far from perfect
It’s not always easy to connect
Where everything can be so complicated
I know that "simply, you’re the best"

I don’t want nobody else, I only want you
Wanna keep you for myself, it’s selfish, but true
I don’t want anything, to ever come between us
‘Cause I don’t want nobody else

In a world far from perfect...still
One never knows what to expect, so tell me
what will I do?
So hard to think of you as "dearly departed"
If only desperation could resurrect

‘Cause I don’t want nobody else, I only want you
Not some picture on a shelf, no...’cause that
won’t carry me through
How does debilitated, find the strength to
make it through

‘Cause I don’t want nobody else, only you
Now I don’t want nobody else, I only want you
And not some picture on a shelf, on no...
‘Cause that won’t carry me through
How does asphyxiated, ever find the breath to
make it through

‘Cause I don’t want nobody else,
I don’t want nobody else,
only you, only you...

Wonderful lady
Such a beautiful baby
Gonna teach him what’s wrong and what’s right
Gonna show him direction
With love and affection
Gonna make his connection in life
But now things didn’t go the way she thought they would
He think’s God is the devil and evil is good
He probably wouldn’t change it even if he could at all

*CHORUS*
All you know is what you feel
You got to read between the lines
What is not and what is real
You got to learn how to recognize
What you’re holdin’ in your hands
What you see before your eyes
If you’re gonna understand
You got to learn how to recognize

Heart is in danger
Well, love is a stranger
When the fear turns the anger to rage
It’s not makin’ any sense
‘Cause you don’t know the difference
Wouldn’t know it if it slapped you in the face
Now it’s all mixed up
It’s all a big mistake
He don’t know the difference between love and hate
He probably wouldn’t change it even if he could at all

*REPEAT CHORUS*

Why should I understand
When I could not comprehend what you say
Just shove it in my face
But if I cannot be made
I’m gonna understand

But now things didn’t go the way she thought they would
He think’s God is the devil and evil is good
He probably wouldn’t change it even if he could at all

*REPEAT CHORUS 2X*

Come To Me (Tesla)

Come to Me

You can come around,and I will help find a way
If something’s got you down, it’s just one of those days
That you find you’ve been caught in the middle, feeling like there ain’t no way out
And it hurts you more than just a little, got you head all full of doubts
I’ll be your shelter from the rain, until it’s time to swim
Be there to help you share the pain, while never giving in
We’ll keep it unconditional

Come to me, if you need someone, and you’re looking for some company
Come to me, and I’ll be there

Ain’t nothing like a friend, no matter what you do
Who’s always there ‘til the end, it’s like ya’ got nothing to lose
What about when you’re lost in the shuffle, knocked down, I’ll pick you up again
If you days turn to lonely nights, and your nights into lonely days
I may not get it right, but I’ll help you find a way
We’ll take it all day by day

Come to me, if you need someone, and your looking for some company
If you need someone, you know that you can come to me
If you need someone, you know that you can come to me

If something busted your bubble, or maybe, your fortress had crumbled
There ain’t nothing wrong with being humbled, ‘cause a humbling is good for the soul
Oh, we all need, everybody needs, everybody needs someone to hold

You can come around, I will help find a way
If something’s got you down, it’s just one of those...
Days turned to lonely nights, nights into lonely days
I may not get it right, but I’ll help you find a way.

Got No Glory (Tesla)

Got No Glory

What I feel is what I say,
I’m keeping it real so never mind the taste,

Cause I know there’s nothing deeper than truth,
So give me the reason not the excuse,
Even the things I can hardly believe,
Is something that I can use,

I’ll never be your alibi,
Or tell you what you want to hear,
Knowing that I’d rather die.
Than have my words be insincere,

I GOT NO GLORY,

So I’m gonna give it to you like it is,
If you want to hear the real story,
And not some candy coated lie

COME AND GET IT

To falsify don’t make no sense,
I’d rather deal with the consequences,

Cause I know there’s nothing deeper than truth,
So give me the reason not the excuse,
Even the things I can hardly believe,
Is something that I can use

I’ll never need an alibi,
Don’t sell it to me out of fear
I told you that I’d rather die.
Than have my words be insincere

I GOT NO GLORY,

So I’m gonna give it to you like it is,
If you want to hear the real story,
And not some candy coated lie

I GOT NO GLORY,

So I’m gonna give it to you like it is,
If you want to hear the real story,
And not some candy coated lie

COME AND GET IT

Miles Away (Tesla)

Miles Away

Such a heavy price to pay, all the time that I’ve spent missing home
And I try not to complain, but sometimes it won’t leave me alone
And I think I know myself better than anyone else
Cause I’m me, I oughta know, what I want, what I need, what’s inside of me
Maybe something that I took to get outta my head, or took for the thrill
The way I dress, the way that I look, or the way that I pay the bills

‘Cause you’re miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong
‘Cause you’re miles away, miles away, how could you know the score

All eyes on the stage, all the glitter and glow
Move to the rhythm, wile striking a pose
Music and melody, and words to a poem
You think that you know me, you’re not even close

Though I’m living out my dream, wasn’t long ‘til I figured it out
Nothing ever comes for free, even here on the merry-go-round
So you wanna take a ride, rollin’, and living the life
‘Cause you think I got it made, well, in case you don’t know, my friend died today
And it’s tearing me apart, if I knew what to say, don’t know where to start
I reached down in my heart, and with paper an pen put it in a song

‘Cause you’re miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong
‘Cause you’re miles away, miles away, how could you know the score

All eyes on the stage, all the glitter and glow
Move to the rhythm, wile striking a pose
Music and melody, and words to a poem
You think that you know me, you’re not even close

The pages have burned but they’re written in stone
Now, what will become of us, nobody knows
And the wheel keeps on turning, I rise and I fall
And I try to get back, but I’m lost in it all
And I look all around, and I see that it’s gone
You’re miles away, miles away

Yeah, you’re miles away, yeah, you’re miles away
Miles away, yeah, you’re miles away
