&#8220;All The Words&#8221;<br />
Lyrics by Songwriter Weekly and Chris Hawkes<br />
Written and performed at the 1 year anniversary showcase; combining all the phrases from the year.</p>
<p>I said &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">the individual is an endangered species</span>, when he&#8217;s<strong> </strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">inside with the humans</span>&#8221;<br />
And you&#8217;re <span style="text-decoration: underline;">free to stay</span>, there&#8217;s<strong> </strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">no cover</span><strong> </strong>but it&#8217;s <span style="text-decoration: underline;">too hot to two step</span>.<br />
It smells <span style="text-decoration: underline;">good in the kitchen</span> but <span style="text-decoration: underline;">what did they put in my taco</span>?<br />
Then she said &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">don&#8217;t throw out the baby with the bathwater</span> now, You just <span style="text-decoration: underline;">shake off the dust</span>&#8221;<br />
I said &#8220;that&#8217;s not a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">good answer</span>&#8221;</p>
<p>That was the first time I was rude but <span style="text-decoration: underline;">once was enough</span> for her.<br />
So I said &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">before you go</span>: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">show and tell</span> a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lucky dog</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">a small plot of land</span>&#8221;<br />
she just grabbed me by the hand and shook her head</p>
<p>Those are all the words, the phrases to this song<br />
Those are all the words, the phrases to this song</p>
<p>Then I found it<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">In my pocket</span><br />
It was an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">obsession confession</span> to me<br />
she said &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">they all come and go</span> but <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I still think about you</span>. The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">pretty little pieces</span> of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Voodoo magic</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">behind your eyes</span>.<br />
So just <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lighten up</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">fly back home to me</span>&#8221; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">That&#8217;s all she wrote</span>.</p>
<p>Those are all the words, the phrases to this song<br />
Those are all the words, the phrases to this song<br />
But the chorus is much easier so you should try to sing along<br />
Those are all the words, the phrases to this song</p>
<p>2am and it&#8217;s a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">brand new day</span> for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">my fathers son</span> (that&#8217;s me)<br />
I&#8217;m <span style="text-decoration: underline;">old enough to ride the ride</span> and this day is finally done<br />
The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">city lights</span> shine a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">turquoise blue</span><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lightning strikes</span> across a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">cotton candy sky</span> and I&#8217;m <span style="text-decoration: underline;">watching the signs</span><br />
But it&#8217;s a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">long shot</span> for me to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">stay in line</span></p>
<p>Then <span style="text-decoration: underline;">right on time</span> I saw a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">drunken angel</span><br />
A <span style="text-decoration: underline;">yellow dress on a red bike</span><br />
She&#8217;s a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">love letter writer</span> who was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">three sheets to the wind</span><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">As we drive</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I&#8217;m awake<br />
but I&#8217;m still dreaming</span></p>
<p>Those are all the words, the phrases to this song<br />
Those are all the words, the phrases from all year long<br />
Those are all the the words the phrases to this song<br />
It&#8217;s a little bit complicated but the chorus is easy so you should sing along (one more time)<br />
Those are all the the words the phrases to this song<br />
Those are all the the words and the phrases to this song</p>

<p>And maybe we can fall in love</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just a watching by your signs</p>
<p>Waiting for my time</p>
