"Dorothy" lyrics
"Dorothy"
Like the flutter of your fingertips, like the flickering of lights
They've got their bright ideas but we've got bigger fish to fry
I found you out there on your doorstep, undressed to the nines
From your Sunday best, black and blue velvet dress
Your head's a mess and so is mine
Oh, Dorothy, I'm coming home
I hope you're waiting there
I know times have been tough on you
It's all downhill from here
Oh, Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart
It's beckoning
I'm racing to your doorway, Dorothy
Like the scratching sounds of insects beneath the blades and soil
Will begin the clock ticking away to ends as black as oil
Now it's pounding in the ear left in left field for you to find
Outside of your peripheral vision of this never ending night
Oh, Dorothy, I'm coming home
I hope you're waiting there
I know times have been tough on you
It's all downhill from here
Oh, Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart
It's beckoning
I'm racing to your doorway, Dorothy
It's a strange world isn't it?
Such strange times to be living in
I had a change of heart tonight
When I watched her walk into the light
It's a strange world, isn't it?
Such strange times to be living in
I had a change of heart tonight
When I watched her walk into the light
I watched her walk into the light
Oh, Dorothy, I'm coming home
I hope you're waiting there
I know times have been tough on you
It's all downhill from here
Oh, Dorothy, inside that dreadful place deep in your heart
It's beckoning
I'm racing to your doorway, Dorothy

Bayside - "The Walking Wounded" I'm weak like a one-armed boxer
Throwing punch after punch
After punch I, I give in

The smile just melted off your face and stained your shirt.
It burned a hole into your chest, looks...
Face To Face - "Complicated" You're never going to see what you like
You're never going to wake up and change your mind
You're never going to keep what you hold
You won't accomplish anything on your own
You can't have what you...

Sometimes just waking is surreal
I pass right through the nameless ones
I know that hope's unknown

The concrete looks too thin to break my fall,
