As I roam the south of Seeonee
I see the jungle has eyes, everyone is watching me
As I roam the south of Seeonee
I swagger over hills over secret trails I’m untangling vines with my tail
As I roam the south of Seeonee
I drop from waterfalls drop my jaw in dialogue with macaws I cacaw
As I roam the south of Seeonee
I got a coat that disguises me
I’m swift, alert; enthused with vigor
I have the pride of a Tiger
As I roam the south of Seeonee
I got a coat that disguises me
I’m swift, alert; enthused with vigor
I have the pride of a Tiger

Shere Akrhan
One foot hanging off
The side of the couch
While the other
Is kicking out the teeth
From a vulture’s mouth
And cherub, shoot me
With a bow and arrow
Give me that motivate of go
So I can glide
On the feathers of the wind
Cause I want to know
The truth of the globe
Seraph, throw me a tougher gazelle
I need something
To chase to and fro
I’m going in for the kill
Pouncing at a grasshopper
If I miss I can grow
If I gotya I’ll row
Down the river to my castle
Surrounded by a moat
Cause I’ve learned, I get weak
When I lazily float
And I get a brain freeze
When I drink too many root beer floats
And being weak while I can’t think
Won’t make me a Hard – As – Hell – G.O.A.T.

As I roam fierce on the blocks
I see rows and columns of windows, everyone stares, finely honed
As I roam fierce on the blocks
I swagger over curtails and secret burrows, I have the knack to navigate
As I roam fierce on the blocks
I ascend skyscrapers and fly planes of paper, I dialogue with the nation I relate
As I roam fierce on the blocks
I got a clock that ticks and tocks
I’m swift, alert; enthused with vigor
I have the pride of a Tiger
As I roam fierce on the blocks
I got a clock that ticks and tocks
I’m swift, alert; enthused with vigor
I have the pride of a Tiger

One Nike off the ground
Feeling heavy in the light
Being polished by the moon
While the other is stepping
Into the alleyway to take a bite
Out of this city’s tombs
And Pizza Man
Slice me up
A piece of this city’s truth
So I can be like Rafael
And Michelangelo
Cowabunga, I’m playing, rude
But I won’t pick a fight
Cause I like this city’s attitude
Taxi – cab – driver
How much for a ride
To the nighttime
Cause I know you know
Where to go; this entire city is proud
Worry less, I did the math
I have countless coins and bills, in pounds
Good Old English cash
And I’d rather not go underground
Chutes and ladders and stares
Are tougher than they sound
I want to cross bridges
To see heads with crowns
The skyline with the lights on
Call me, I’ll be roaming around

As I roam the south of Seeonee
I see the jungle has eyes, everyone is watching me
As I roam the south of Seeonee
I swagger over hills over secret trails I’m untangling vines with my tail
As I roam the south of Seeonee
I drop from waterfalls drop my jaw in dialogue with macaws I cacaw
As I roam the south of Seeonee
I got a coat that disguises me
I’m swift, alert; enthused with vigor
I have the pride of a Tiger
As I roam the south of Seeonee
I got a coat that disguises me
I’m swift, alert; enthused with vigor
I have the pride of a Tiger

As I roam fierce on the blocks
I see rows and columns of windows, everyone stares, finely honed
As I roam fierce on the blocks
I swagger over curtails and secret burrows, I have the knack to navigate
As I roam fierce on the blocks
I ascend skyscrapers and fly planes of paper, I dialogue with the nation I relate
As I roam fierce on the blocks
I got a clock that ticks and tocks
I’m swift, alert; enthused with vigor
I have the pride of a Tiger
As I roam fierce on the blocks
I got a clock that ticks and tocks
I’m swift, alert; enthused with vigor
I have the pride of a Tiger

weezer’s original words in quotes, shere-akrhan’s words not in quotes

“The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face”

“I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said”

Heartbreak
For the second time
You broke it off
Over the phone
I guess it’s better
Than sending a text
Or in the middle of sex
But that shit is weak sauce
So, so, so soft
Two edges on the sword
It hurts cause you’re gone
More since you did me wrong
You said it in such a hurried tone
Over the phone
And I had just bought
Two ice cream cones
You say you were caught
In a self – seeking mode
After years, wanting to be alone
A yesterday you
With a selfish clone
And it’s something
I wish I’d known
I should have known
Before I sacrificed my milieu
All for you
And we’re not
In school any – mo
Clicking my heels
Won’t get me home
That dump me, dump me jam
Goes…

“You remain, turned away
Turning further everyday”

“The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face”

“I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn’t”

You hit every note
A sincere reminder
I am rollin’
Up and down
I am haulin’
Not turnin’ around
Cause you smile
While I frown
I am rollin’
Up and down
Hills and valleys
I’ll be around
In this town
Behind a fence
With a sign
“Beware of Hound”
So it’d be best
If you just go
On, on and I reiterate
I’d be best
If you did not loom
Cause I get addicted
To Arizona Iced Tea
And Popsicles
Stuck in Elmer’s Glue
It all messes with my mind
So I am hummin’
And mumblin’
That dump me, dump me jam

“You remain, turned away
Turning further everyday”

“The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face”

“You remain, turned away
Turning further everyday”

“The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face”

“The world has turned and left me here (Do you believe what I sing now?)
Just where I was before you appeared. (Do you believe what I sing now?)
And in your place an empty space (Do you bel….)
Has filled the void behind my face. (….ieve?)”

“Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe?”

smashing pumpkins’ original words in quotes, shere-akrhan’s words not in quotes

Have you grabbed the night
Or are you still searching wide and far
Do you still believe
In what you said last March
The organ keys are strummed
While I walk to Acme parched
But to me Quonset Hut’s not roofed in rust
Music dawned, every day I ride the waves
Over land left in dust
And Honus is not dead, I still lust
For driving fast in cars
At the speed of light towards the stars
Cause forever I have longed
To see a day where I don’t
Wake to stay in a bed
Of thoughts that don’t belong
I won’t forget our time
The lives we live aren’t dark
Our fears are just a part
The cries are the spark
I’ve always dug deep
Spades of diamonds from my heart
Shining in my early day’s clubs
And now I extol the start
Sitting on a bench on Clarke
Where shall I whistle and march
North, South, West or East in absolute
In due time there’ll be new
So I close my eyes
Searching for the places beyond truth
Tonight, tonight
Tonight cannot come soon enough

“Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel”

“Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That you’re not stuck in vain
Were not the same, were different tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight, tonight”

“And you know you’re never sure
But you’re sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade
In your city by the lake
The place where you were born”

Akron, Miami, Oh – hi – o
Greencastle and Chicago
Oh man, oh man
I’ve walked so far
I have a pad of paper
In my folded hands
Sitting in my lap
As I’m on the road
Pencil behind my ear
Clipping back my locks
Edward Scissors are Sharpe
Making Alabama, Arkansas
Sound so grand
I long for Home
And I don’t want to be
Trapped no more
Behind the door
To the promise land
But they closed the route to the North
The detour heads back and forth
Zig – zags, I slide across the dashboard
The Sky Way better open up
In time for clouds to pass thru
Or the stars won’t arrive in time
For the act tonight
But I got the power to grab a broom
And sweep away the sorrow
Cause who wants to attend a downpour
Neither the bride nor groom
Tonight, tonight
Tonight cannot come soon enough

“Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe in the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there’s not a chance tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight, tonight”

“We’ll crucify the insincere tonight
We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight
We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight”

coldplay’s original words in quotes, shere-akrhan’s words not in quotes

“Just because I’m losing
Doesn’t mean I’m lost
Doesn’t mean I’ll stop
Doesn’t mean I would cross”

“Just because I’m hurting
Doesn’t mean I’m hurt
Doesn’t mean I didn’t get
What I deserved
No better and no worse”

“I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off”

I’m on the corner
Of Fullerton and Pulaski
I just missed my six o’clock ride
I’m looking for a taxi
I don’t carry a side –
Arms are reaching from the curb
Safety’s off while eyes
Fire hydrant stares
Warning flares intended to scare
Away the day is winding down
There’s not a minute to spare
Cling, cling the sound of tin knocking
I got my set of keys
Shaking in my fingertips
What you clocking
The alarm chimes
The end is miles gone
I won’t be able to unlock the dreams
Every turn feels wrong
I can’t even taste it on the lips
And Shere – Akrhan’s mom has always said
There’ll be speed bumps, limits and one ways
Stop lights at junctions
Selfish, selfless, good or bad
I’ll have to make decisions
Then and now, got to have
What it takes, love and hate
And I’m looking for the crossroads
That number I didn’t invest
The time to memorize
Cause I never thought
I’d get lost, hypnotized
While swimming laps
Protected in my own lane
In a bullet – proof vest
Turn after toss, I flip turn
It seems like I got no other choice except to walk
Forever while the streets are whispering fearful talk
And it reminds me that I’m inches from the edge
I don’t have anywhere to duck my head
Feeling lost with a spotlight on my treads
Looking through a lens blurred at the end
I’m lost like Coldplay said

“I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off”

“I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off”

It tastes so good
But I lost the feeling
Over and over
Again it went so well
But kept falling to the bottom of the well
And all I got and know
Is I feel so close to lost
I can hear the echoes
I’m jumping fences to find it
Stealth toned in PF Flyers
Ya – Ya, I’m running like Benny the Jet
From the Beast I’ll discover love
Its collection of memoirs
Cause heroes get remembered
I want to forever glow
Legendary, never, never forget
ET, can I borrow your phone
I dire for home
His glowing finger points to the air
The number one in foam
Saying everyone wants to go
Somewhere different so
Not everyone can fit on the po – dium
I know I can’t glide
Into the finish line
I’ll find my way
Guided by the North Star and street signs
And I’ll take photographs in my mind
Mapmaking with a legend
On the top and right
In case I circle around
I’ll know the distance chasing cars
Like my own tail
I swallow concrete and time
Fill up on wise fairy tales
Wallow until the next time
Cause hollow never shines
And everyone remembers
Legends fall to lost
Along the way
What they find at the end
Is they’d never made a name
If it weren’t for being lost that day
Even a Legend needs to be tamed

“You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn’t mean you’ve won
Cause along may come
A bigger one”

“And you’ll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting until the firing stopped
Ohhh and I’m…
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off”
