It's a rainy day in Montréal and everyone is under an umbrella. Taking shelter from the storm while the wind blows on and on and on and on. And all the while I think of you, and where are you now, and what are you doing? All the while I think of you and where are you now and what are you doing? I saw someone get hit on their vespa by a BMW, the car wasn't harmed, but there was a stretcher and they took here away. Didn't know what to say so I kept on walking. Well, love is hard and love is tough but you can't get enough when love comes a-knockin'. Love is hard and love is tough but you can't get enough when love comes a-knockin'. I bought her book because I know I'm in love, I know I'm in love even if it's hopeless, but I don't care, I'd rather be a fool than go back to school and owned by the government. Time goes on and on and on and on and on and on into oblivion. My love for her is strong, it's strong, for her I'd gladly put the world on my shoulders. She says her name's Ohara Hale and I'd gladly fail if she would just smile at me, I know I sound a bit insane but love is a game and passion is how you play. Well, I've been married and I've been divorced, I've screamed like a child and rode like a horse. Now I love somebody new who's chewn me up and driven me over, but she hasn't taken my record player! It's a rainy day in Montréal but I don't care at all 'cause I'm so excited, a rainy day in Montréal but I don't care at all 'cause I'm so freaking pumped!!!

I have worked in many kitchens in my life, Lord, in my life. And I have known so many lost souls in my life, Lord, in my life. I knew this lady, her name was Crystal. She loved the trees and smoking weed. And she taught me that I'm not so great, that I'm still so young, I'm still a scrub. But I have learned now and I'll keep on going, with the light that's inside me. Yes I have learned now, and I'll keep on going with the light that's inside me. With the light... I was married to a girl that I loved, but she would break me again and again. I never loved one like I loved her but now it's over and here I am. I gave it all away, everything that I had and I moved far away to Montréal. Now I got a new life and I'm so happy but I still miss her, every now and again. But I have learned now and I'll keep on going with the love that's inside me. Yes I have learned now and I'll keep on going with the love that's inside me. With the love... When I look at my life now, o! God am I thankful. O! God am I, o! God am I, o! god am I thankful!

I want to be a warrior, I want to fight the world for you. I want to wear shiny armour, I want to slay a dragon for you. I want to be your headchef, I want to be Gordon Ramsay for you. I wanted your love, that's all I really want from you. It's a hard world. It's a tough place to raise your kids. It's a hard world. And no one knows what we're doing with it. People say the sky is falling in. I've read about it, you know I believe it. People say I'm dying every day. You seen it all, I know you believe it. People tell me that dancing is dead. You know I listen but I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. People tell me that I shouldn't try. WELL I'LL KEEP TRYING 'TIL THE DAY THAT I DIE. People say that I'M TOO LOUD. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID OF THEMSELVES. People tell me that I can't sing, well JUST LISTEN! This is all a beautiful illusion. This is all a beautiful illusion. This is all a beautiful illusion. This is all a beautiful illusion. This is all a beautiful allusion.

I'm going to sleep, let all the memories of my past just float away. I'm going to sleep, let all the demons in my mind just take a break. 'Cause when I wake, it'll be a brand new day. I've got another chance, I won't throw it away. And when I wake, it'll be a brand new day, I won't throw it away. I'm looking outside my window to the busy street below. I see some children laughing, screaming, row on row, row on row. I think of how far I've come and how much left I have to go. I think about you sometimes and when we die, just where we go. 'Cause I don't know. When I'm at the entrance to heaven or hell, I'll keep my eyes open and I hope that I see you.

Oh my love with the tear in your eye. I can't stand sitting here, watching you cry. There's people in this world who'll push you around. They'll hit you when you stand and kick you when you're down. But don't you feel so bad, your time is coming. As you lay down at the end of the day, and you're tired from the debts that are too much to pay. Well I seen debts come and watch as they go while the weight of all history moves mighty slow. Don't you feel so bad, your time is coming. 'Cause we built all the buildings and built all the coins. Built guns for the soldiers and children for the toys. The beautiful children all grow so fast. You gotta slow down the seconds so the beauty is gonna last. Don't feel so bad, your time is coming. First were the lizards, then were the apes. Who is nature bringing to take our place? So much for cars, so much for roads, in 20,000 years it's all dust and snow. Don't you feel so bad, your time is coming. Don't you feel so bad, your time is coming. Oh my love with the tear in your eye let me hold you now and love you tonight, we can't live forever but I'll sing you this song. Day by day like the beats of the DRUM!!! There's people in this world who'll push you around, they'll hit you when you stand and kick you when you're down I said there's people in this world who push you around, but we can both laugh when they come around. Don't you feel so bad, your time is coming.

Commander Clark was sent to Earth to return what he is worth. Place the blame away from me, I'll show you what I want to see. I fell high above the waves, acting dumb I lost my place. Wasted person, wasted face, growing foolish every day. Gotta keep my head up, gotta keep my head up, gotta keep my head up, gotta keep my head up. I lived in the U.S.A., it was big and it's OK. Went to school, I took the bus, took an hour but it was fun. Listened to punk tunes all the time, Blink and Sum they were my rhymes. Getting pumped up every day for a life I thought I hated. Gotta keep my head up, gotta keep my head up, gotta keep my head up, gotta keep my head. Well I got friends that're telling me what they think that I should be. Better questions and advice, I ain't feeling very nice. So I'll yell back and maybe swear, I'll yell back and maybe tear up whatever friendship we had left...but I loved those days, they were the best. Gotta keep your head up, gotta keep your head up, gotta keep your head up, gotta keep your head up. This is our story of a man who sacrificed his life for the cause. Gotta keep your head up, gotta keep your head up, gotta keep your head up, gotta keep your head up.
