AFFIRMATION

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people’s hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it’s bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I’m loved when I’m completely by myself alone
CHORUS:
I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can’t appreciate real love ‘til you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

I believe you can’t control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold

I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires
CHORUS
I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity
CHORUS

I can't hold you baby
I been thinking
I can't hold you
Another sign above


Doctor, doctor
Tell me what to do
I got heartbreak in my pocket
I got sunlight next to you


Doctor, doctor
Will the difference be adjourned
Could I help 'em only standing
Could I be the one to do


Doctor, doctor
What ??? you
I been round by the river land
Where the sun burns burns bold and
All he ever [track »skips«] next to you


[Music fades out, then back in]


Any wanna gonna man of wanna buy a taking you down
I was thinking of you
Round about wanna gonna say


Any other bonna down a on ya all the time that you wanted
I was all in the grave...I was down the ground


Put another [Gets cut off]

Hotel California
Eagles


On a dark desert Highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat,
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had this spirit
here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here,
of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax', said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive,
You can check out any time you like,
but you can never leave'.
