Bumblefoot "Barefoot" CD lyrics

She Knows

I forgot her name - 100 girls look the same
When I close my eyes - All I do is fantasize
And she knows - she goes,
"Tell me I'm the only one on your mind,
When you close your eyes"

All I wanna do is give my song to you
She looks away - I ask why but she won't say
It's cause she knows - it shows
So how can I stop the tears my baby cries,
When I close my eyes

Hush little baby, don't ya know you're my lady
And ya know we're always gonna be together
If I'm lyin' let the sun stop shinin'
Cause I'll have you to light my way forever
What else can I say?

And she knows - she goes,
"Tell me I'm the only one on your mind,
When you close your eyes"

So how can I stop the tears my baby's cryin'
How can I let her know my heart never lies
When I close my eyes


Dash

And everything will come to pass.
And it all happened in the dash
I saw the numbers on each side
But all that mattered was the line

When you left so many came
To see the stone they had engraved
It all happened way too fast
It all happened in the dash

And everything will come and go
And we will never really know
Just how much falls in-between
Or we'd say everything will be.

But we can't sum up every page
With just one cover and one name
It all happened way too fast
And all we had becomes a dash

And if I had one more chance for us to start things over
Ya know I wouldn't change a thing
And if I had one more chance for us to be together
If I could do it all again
I wouldn't change a thing

And everything will come to be
Another distant memory
Something alone to make you laugh
One for your own epitaph

And in the end what will they say
About your spirit and your name
It all happened way too fast
And all we are becomes a dash

And if I had one more chance for us to start things over
Ya know I wouldn't change a thing
And if I had one more chance for us to be together
If I could do it all again
I wouldn't change a thing

Life is what happens in-between the dreams you're trying to remember
Life is what happens in-between going for your longest breath underwater
Life is what happens in-between the red lights and stop signs
Life is what happens in-between losing your patience on the express line

Life is what happens in-between letting the phone ring and staring at the number
Life is what happens in-between finding out what no one wants to tell ya.
Life is what happens in-between staying for the end of your favorite song
Life is what happens in-between wanting to say it, but waiting too long

Life is what happens in-between each fight on the message board
Life is what happens in-between each time I leave for another tour
Life is what happens in-between the holding out for a better spot
Life is what happens when you take a chance and lose what ya got

Life is what happens in-between the traffic stopped to look at the crash
Life is what happens in-between forgetting to hit save and starting from scratch
Life is what happens between agreeing that the year went by so fast
Life is what happens and all we have becomes a dash


Simple Days

You and I
Since you've gone all the flowers have died
You and I
We've been drifting apart for some time

How could I survive
In this world full of cocaine and lies?
'Cause every day away feels like
I've gone a thousand miles and have to go a thousand more
It's like a slow death in my soul
I feel while falling into space now darker than before
What ever happened to those simple days?

You and I
From a distance we're just shapes and lines
You and I
Pictures filling with holes in our minds

What can I do?
Change the tides so they bring me to you?
And every day away feels like
I've gone a thousand miles and have to go a thousand more
It's like a slow death in my soul
I feel while falling into space now darker than before
What ever happened to those simple days?

You and I
Disconnected and falling apart
Crucified
By the hand that keeps squeezing my heart

How could I survive
In this world full of cocaine and lies
And every day away feels like
I've gone a thousand miles and have to go a thousand more
It's like a slow death in my soul
I feel while falling into space now darker than before

A thousand miles, a thousand miles, I go a thousand more
What ever happened to those simple days?
I sure miss those good ol' simple days
I sure miss the world before it changed


Shadow

I can hear the sound again
Voices dancing in my head
Smile wide - drowning slowly as the echoes rise

Angels pounding at my door
They want to take away my war
I won't let them carve away the edges anymore
No more...

I can feel my face changing
Every day must have its night
Every curse is a blessing
Like a shadow in the light
Life is beautiful and crazy
Isn't it just like you and I
It's alright - like a shadow in the light

Her ear pressed to my chest
She can almost hear my breath
Don't you cry - it's ok - I chose it all this time...

Every story has an ending
Even though words never die
Every curse is a blessing
Like a shadow in the light
Winter won't last forever
And neither will I
It's alright...

Thank you God for all these choices
In the boundaries of your game
Through the silence and the voices
All my love will never change
It was so nice to be normal
To be normal for a change
So strange...
It was so nice to be normal - but what's normal, anyway?
 

Abn
ormal

For all that I love you, that's how much I hate you
And it hits me like a flick of the switch
You're my perfect angel, but sometimes
All I see is a fuckin' bitch
The problem's not you, I know, it's true
There's just somethin' goin' on in my head
Everything has changed, everything's so strange
And now you're stuck with ab-normal again

For all that I love you, that's how much I hate you
And the button gets pushed all the time
For all the fun I have inside you
I could leave it at the toss of a dime
The problem's me, that much I see
There's something wrong inside my head
Everything has changed, everything's so strange
And now you're stuck with ab-normal again

For all that I love you, that's how much I hate you
And it crushes me like a ton of bricks
Just when I think I'm gonna reach out for your neck
Instead my hands go right to your tits
I've always known I'm crazy
I'm just tired of tryin' to pretend
Everything has changed, everything's so strange
And now you're stuck with ab-normal again

It's like runnin' face-first into a wall
Till I black out down on the floor
The next time ya see me chargin' towards ya
Just push me right out the door
The intensity's too much sometimes

Fame is a fuckin' cage
I'm infected with this rage
And now you're stuck with ab-normal again
And now you're stuck with ab-normal again
And now you're stuck with ab-normal again
And now we fuck like ab-normal again


Delilah

L
ady Delilah - she enslaves me
I'm bound and chained by her lies
One look in her eyes and she breaks me
And I fall down like rain
As the wind sings her name

Oh, Delilah…
I was the strongest man alive
Till you came along - my Delilah

She deceived me but believe me it was alright
To touch her lips was to kiss the blades of her knives
Why do things we know are wrong feel so right?
Worth a lifetime of pain
For one night to sing her name

Oh, Delilah…
I was the strongest man alive
Till you came along - my Delilah

Well I'll never be the same
Cause that girl - yeah, she's to blame
How could I love again
Since she took my heart away.

And then someone said her name
And I tore at my flesh to dull the pain of the sound
And ripped from the chains and the walls came down
And I lay covered and bound

And I called out her name…

I was the strongest man alive
Till you came along - my Delilah
