A modern day Romeo and Juliet American tragedy
Low rent, High rise lovers who met at the end of Coronado Street
Crucifixes made in California gold
Two worlds bound to collide
Heaven can't help you if you go
Faster than angels fly
Chorus:
Well they burn the candle at bothe ends
As they danced into the flame
Making love and making plans
Driving Mother Mary insane
Strong as the beads of a rosary
Never too young to die
Some souls only know one speed
Faster than angels fly
Ghost-haunted barrio in Hollywood
Graffiti stained wailin' wall
Dead-end street gang up o no good
Out to make a retribution call
Sweet innocence caught in crossfire's fate
Too late to draw the line
Bullets can blow your dreams away
Faster than angels fly
Repeat chorus:
They were still holding hands
When all hell broke loose
They both left this world
With more than most true lovers do
Repeat chorus:
Strong as the beads of a rosary
Never too young to die
Some souls only know one speed
Faster than angels fly
I was raised by the Good Book
Learned to work hard everyday
Taught that if you can't say something good
There's nothing good to say
And I caught on pretty early
It's no use to work no harder than you play
So I guess that's how I ended up this way
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Is a place I keep finding myself
Yeah, I get a little crazy trying to have a little fun
Then I end u...

[Chorus:]
I've been looking for so long to find this place I see
And I've just got to believe it's more than a dream
Seems it's time I should move on
but I hope you come with me
Till we find eternity
Doing all I can to make things better
Everything I can to get things right
Baby when you're with me it's a little mroe like Heaven
Here in my mind, here in my mind
[Chorus:]

Run and I will run with you
Faster than light can move
And as far as you want to
Wings, maybe we don't have wings
But we can do anything, anything
Look at me, I'm dreaming
I just gave the moon a high five
Don't you know that freedom
Freedom is a place in your mind
Laugh, I'll laugh and cry with you
Until the grass turns blue
And the sky, bright green
'Cause I, I don't want anything

"Intro"
Big Rich
Because our task at the present moment is the task of understanding one another so thoroughly,
that there will be only one cause,
only one purpose
See your mama and the candles and the tears and roses
I see your daddy walk his daughter down the aisle
And my knees start to tremble as I tell the preacher
?Don't she look beautiful tonight??
All the wonderful words in my head I've been thinkin'
You know I wanna say 'em all just right
I lift your veil and angels start singing
Such a heavenly sight, yeah
Lost in this moment with you
I am compl...
Loosen up, shout it out, everybody in the house
Stomp your feet, clap your hands, come on, kick it with the band
We're all about tradition, we don't mind the twang
We got just one condition now
We like it loud, we like it honking
The party won't be revving 'til we crank it to eleven
Get it rocking, our boots are knocking
We're gonna say it proud, we love our country and we like it loud
Calling...
Big Rich, Wyclef Jean
There goes the neighborhood
Please man, don't call the police, man
Why can we just be friends
And try to get along?
I don't wanna hurt no one
I just wanna have a little fun
So I'm begging you
Please man, don't call the police, man
I didn't know the stereo was playing so loud
Turn it up
I didn't know, the Go-Go girls were dancing
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, sha...
On the road makin' noise
Rockin' hard for all the girls and boys
We got the grooves, we got the songs
Our kind of music makes you sing along, well
Jump on up in your chair
Everybody, throw your hands in the air
You're gonna scream until it hurts
You know you're gonna get your dollar's worth, well
Crank it up tonight
When you hear us on your radio, woah, woah
We'll take you for a ride anywhere
...
Brothers and Sisters...
Thank You
Thank you so much
We have come so far
Yet we have so very far to come...
Prejudice should not exist in this world
Therefore prejudice, by all means, should not exist, in music-ah
There is only good, and better
Therefore we present to you, our dear friends,
our families,
Our best
Our very best
We pour out our passions,
Our hearts and our souls
So that you may b...
Sometimes whiskey, sometimes pills
Silly things I need to get my thrills
Sometimes women are like cocaine
Got to have 'em more and more everyday
Yeah, the man in the mirror
Ain't no man like I oughta be
Tell me why can't I see
When the Devil gets the best of me?
I've left heartaches, thought they'd mend
I know how to lose some real good friends
I get angry, I stay mad
Can't get happy with this...
It's complicated when love has faded
And you can't hold on anymore
You gotta let go even though you know
Your heart's gonna hate it
And it just might break it
You never stop loving somebody
No matter what you tell yourself
You never stop loving somebody
You just start loving somebody else
The only solution is making the conclusion
That it's just another lesson in life
And even though it's over...
She was a fast machine,
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I?ve ever seen
Had the sightless eyes
Tellin? me no lies
Knockin? me out with those American thighs
Takin? more than her share,
Had me fightin? for air
She told me to come, but I was already there
And the walls start shakin?, the earth was quakin?
My mind was achin?
And we were makin? it and
You shook me all nigh...
