Music Time - Coming Up Roses - Keira Knightley + Comfortably Numb - Dar Williams & Ani DiFranco



"Coming Up Roses"

When you were asleep
And I was out walking
The voices started to speak
And they wouldn't stop talking

There were signs all around
It really got my mind racing
You were right all along
Something's gotta change

Hold on
Hold on they're not for me
Hold on
Cause everything's coming up roses,
Roses

Now we're back on the street
Found a song that's worth singing
The blur that knows a defeat
While your victory bell's ringing,

My whole life's turned around
For this thing you keep chasing
You were right all along
It's me who's got to change

Hold on
Hold on they're not for me
Hold on
Cause everything's coming up roses

(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)
(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)

Hold on
Hold on they're not for me
Hold on
Cause everything's coming up...
Roses

(Everything's coming up roses
Everything's coming up roses
Hold on, Hold on)

Roses

(Hold on, Hold on
Everything's coming up roses
Hold on, Hold on
Everything's coming up roses
Hold on, Hold on)

Roses

(Hold on, Hold on)
Roses 
hello, is there anybody in there
just nod if you can hear me
is there anyone home
come on, now
i hear you're feeling down
well, i can ease your pain
get you on your feet again
relax. i need some information first
just the basic facts
can you show me where it hurts
there is no place, you are receding
a distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
you are only coming through in waves
your lips move but i can't hear what you're saying
when i was a child, i had a fever
my hands felt just like two balloons
now i got that feeling once again
i can't explain, you would not understand
this is now how i am.
ahh, i have become comfortably numb
ok, it's just a little pinprick
they'll be no more, ah
but you might feel a little sick
can you stand up
i do believe it's working, good
that'll keep you going for the show
come on it's time to go
there is no place you are receding
a distant ship's smoke on the horizon
you are only coming through in waves
your lips move, but i can't hear what you're saying
when i was a child i caught a fleeting glimpse
out of the corner of my eye
i turned to look but it was gone
i cannot put my finger on it now
the child is grown the dream is gone
ahh, i have become comfortably numb
