Calogero Dean: Music
Alone
(Calogero Dean)
Lee H./ C. Greenwood
This song is taken from a Citizen Cope Song of the same name.
Man wasn’t meant to be alone
this is the story of a person that’s slowly going insane
Being trapped inside these four walls
All by themselves
That's not the way it was meant to be
Everybody’s got their own story
This is mine:
Noodles are a $1.25 and I ain’t got the change
Need to find a new job but I ain’t got the brains
Drink Whiskey everyday just to drown the pain
The pain learned how to swim, square one again
Life, if don’t want me no more just say so
We fight everyday like Frida and Diego
Lee H. AKA Andy Dufresne
Crawled through 100 miles of shit just to dance in the rain
Sometimes you gotta fight with life mano a mano
Like hearing a beautiful song on a detuned piano
All you hear is noise unless you listening right
Got to know what to listen for but that’s part of the fight
Now I can tell you what you need to hear no less no more
Like the Godfather at the end they closed the door
You’re locked out, you wanna know what’s going on inside
well let me tell you now it’s a pretty crazy ride
No parties and Patrón just a lot of night alone
and since I been on my own a lot of trust is gone
When you fighting for your life you gotta do what works for you
I don’t trust myself so don’t take it personal.
Your breathing don’t happen
by yourself
Alone
is no
way to live
I was born with indented ribs, my heart’s too big
and doctor told me I got 7 days to live
I’m only 27 and I ain’t got no kids
and my wife already left so I guess this is it
So what would you do if this was you and you got the news
And you didn’t know what to do or who to listen to
What do I tell my dad
Call my mom on the phone and tell her to bury the last son she ever had
I’m not really that sad I’m more infuriated
I had to look back on my life and see I never made it
I’m going out like van Gogh, my life in shambles
Knowing I’ll never touch a soul. That I can’t handle
It’s a hard hand to hold and I have to fold
If you were dealt the same cards could you be that bold?
Now and lay me down to sleep
If there’s anybody in the other room they won’t hear a peep
cause that’s not me crying, that’s me deciding
the rest of my life but there’s no use in trying
Let me cook some Chicken Tortellini, sit me down in front of the TV
With a movie by Fellini, don’t care if the neighbors see me
open up the blinds let in that California air
cause when you wake up the next morning I won’t be there
They say if you’re scared to die you have a life worth living
well I ain’t scared to die so you tell me how I’m feeling
Your breathing don’t happen
by yourself
Alone
is no
way to live
This feeling don’t happen
by yourself
Alone
is no
way to live
We could love one another.
