My Sunday (feat. Mporoza) - JazziDisciples

I can barely feel the sheets with all these crumbs down in my bed How can I get to sleep with all this buzzin' in my head And who'd have ever thought I'd not complain about a mess Serves me right I guess, this is what I get For eatin' crackers with my gin And drinkin' in my Sunday dress The telephone is by the bottle which is always by my bed From time to time I give it a rattle to make sure that it's not dead I will wait here for your call till I run out of cigarettes I love to play the part of the damsel in distress Flickin' ashes in my coffee Drinkin' in my Sunday dress Well I've been on the road to this and I've been on the way to this But who'da think it'd come to this Don't let on you've seen me like this My old transistor's sounding just as twangy as a Fender My radiator growls like Elvis after Sunday dinner I've drained my last tequila and I've thrown away the blender I've poured out all the wine, from now on nothing but the best Cognac and Patsy Cline While drinkin' in my Sunday dress Well I've been on the road to this and I've been on the way to this I surely ain't a hypocrite I've had my fun and now I must confess Our reverend is a kingly soul, repents 'em on a dime His bible is not inked in gold, he is not the cheatin' kind One Sunday after meetin' I was in the greetin' line He said I've seen you from the altar Gulpin' down communion wine Just remember who's beside you when it's no business of mine

Oh, life is bigger It's bigger Than you and you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this The hint of the century Consider this The slip that brought me To my knees failed What if all these fantasies Come flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry Why try? That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream Dream

I thought I saw a girl brought to life She was warm, she came around like she was dignified She showed me what it was to cry Well, you couldn't be that girl I adored Don't seem to know Don't seem to care what your heart is for No, I don't know her anymore There's nothing where we used to lie The conversation has run dry That's what's going on Nothing's fine, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late, I'm already torn So I guess this fortune teller's right I should have seen just what was there And not some holy light But you crawled beneath my veins and now I don't care, I have no luck I don't miss it all that much There's just so many things That I can't touch, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late I'm already torn (Torn) There's nothing where we used to lie My inspiration has run dry And that's what is goin' on Nothin's right, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I'm ashamed Bound and broken on the floor You're a little late I'm already torn (This is how I feel) (Torn) (This is how I feel) (Torn) (This is how I feel)

Early morning, she wakes up Knock, knock, knock on the door It's time for make-up, perfect smile It's you they're all waiting for They go Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl? And they say She's so lucky, she's a star But she cry, cry, cries, in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night? Lost in an image, in a dream But there's no one there to wake her up And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning But tell me, what happens when it stops? They go Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl? And they say She's so lucky, she's a star But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night? Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl? She is so lucky (she is so lucky) But why does she cry? (Why does she cry?) If there is nothing, missing in her life Why do tears come at night? She's so lucky (she is so lovely) She's a star But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing, missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night?

The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey, that's me, and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside Darling, you know just what I'm here for you're And scared, and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but, hey, you're alright Oh, and that's alright with me You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a saviour to rise from these streets Well now, I'm no hero, that's understood All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now? Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks Oh-oh come take my hand We're riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun I know it's late, we can make it if we run Oh, Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold Thunder Road Well I got this guitar, and I learned how to make it talk And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken But tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets And they scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch they're gone on the wind So Mary, climb in It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win

It's been three whole years of me thinking about you every day Sometimes for hours, sometimes in passing Saw you from the bottom of the staircase Stood out for hours as you complained About how you haven't seen your friends yet That you're too drunk to stand and you not knowing If you can love him forever Bullshit you fucking miss me There I said it I guess I'll talk to you in a few months Sitting drunk on the sidewalk I guess I'll get up I guess I'll go for a walk Press my shoes against the pavement I swear this has got to be the hundredth time I've thought of you tonight You weren't the only one Who thought of us that way I spend most nights awake (Wide awake) I never thought that I Oh I would see the day Where I'd just let you go Let you walk away Yeah I can't believe I'll let you walk away Used to call you crook, called you a bandit There ain't no other good damn reason why Why I would even it would go missing For so many months so I was wishing that you That you would stop pretending Remember all those countless nights When I told you I loved you And you never forget it (Oh just forget it) You weren't the only one Who thought of us that way I spend most nights awake Wide awake I never thought that I Oh I would see the day Where I'd just let you go Let you walk away Where I let you walk away You weren't the only one Who thought of us that way I spend most nights awake Wide awake I never thought that I Oh I would see the day Where I'd just let you go Let you walk away Go ahead and walk away

When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try, you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face, and I Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face, and I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

I hate to break your silence But I've seen you once before Can't help but notice That you're passing back and forth You're tryna strike a balance Outside the uniform I think it's time to find just what you're looking for And you got work until Sunday Waking early Get the money I'll make you late every Monday If you want me If you want me And you got work until Sunday Waking early Get the money I'll make you late every Monday If you want me If you want me And you got work until Sun- And you got work until Sun- And you got work until Sunday And you got work until Sun- Want to make it for me and you And if I'm wrong, I'm sorry But this is something more I think you see your future Just behind the door You're tryna strike a balance Outside the uniform I think it's time to find just what you're looking for And you got work until Sunday Waking early Get the money I'll make you late every Monday If you want me If you want me And you got work until Sun- And you got work until Sun- And you got work until Sunday And you got work until Sunday Want to make it for me and you (Want to) And you got work until Sunday And you got work until Sunday
