I didn't want to be late, Lord, hope she'll wait Why she had to leave this place behind Knowing that we'd all be hurt Life is so hard to bear Tell me what your reasons are for my despair Blue moon over Brooklyn Never saw such a light shining down on me My mama told me, son you better shop around Postman comes once, lucky if he comes again You've gotta be nice, take my advice It's time to go, Mama, I miss you so ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Down With The Sun (Criss, Montague) 4:37 Hey Baby, how've you been I hear you're running around again I don't care anyway You'll have to deal with yourself someday If you abuse it you can lose it You know you love that dirty water You're going down with the sun If you got emotion and you got the notion You can go down on me any time I really don't mind I really really like it When you look at me it kinda shakes me inside You don't mind the way she moves in You know you love that dirty water You're going down with the sun ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) We Want You (Carrion, Montague) 3:47 Let me break it down I've got something to say Don't turn your back or we'll make you pay You know it's true You gotta take a stand You've gotta be heard Baby, don't hold back We're gonna take the world You know it's true Time has come to stand as one We want you, you know we do I know you know we want you Together we stand, divided we fall You gotta push to see it all And break it through Every chance you take to help us out a little Is gonna bring you to the center of the circle In the middle God knows it's true Time has come to stand as one We want you, you know it's true All in all things are gettin' better Are you ever gonna realize we're all in this together?
