In the eye of a hurricane
There is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky

When I was seventeen a hurricane
Destroyed my town
I didn't drown
I couldn't seem to die

You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'm still alive
I've got my life to live, and I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive


Anybody notice the irony between this song and my last one?

I survive on hotel shampoos
I'll be runnin' out soon
You've gone away again
Gone to collect some more
Your hands pressed hard into me
I thought this summer you'd be gone away again
Ooh, he's gone away again

(Just spent the past half hour listening to various songs with the word "survive" in them , most were meh, went with the more obscure option)

But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street

You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again

Wow, making me use the same word?

You pick me up and take me home again
Head out the window again
We're hollow like the bottles that we drain
You drape your wrists over the steering wheel
Pulses can drive from here
We might be hollow, but we're brave

Lourd, le poids du ciel et de la terre
La légèreté du vent de l'air
Vole, montre-leur
Que tu t'en sers

Dancing brave (dancing brave)
Dancing brave (dancing brave)
Dancing brave (dancing brave)
Dancing brave

(ah, a year and we end up with the same word again? )

No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'cause god makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Winter's nigh and summer's o'er
Hear that high, lonesome sound
Of my husband coming for
To bring me home to Hadestown

Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

Down there, it's a bunch of stiffs
Brother, I'll be bored to death
Gonna have to import some stuff
Just to entertain myself
Give me morphine in a tin
Give me a crate of the fruit of the vine
Takes a lot of medicine
To make it through the wintertime

Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

Toss and turn, a few mistakes but
You slipped in and showed me how
Never let me hit the ground
All the love was hesitated
But ever since you came around
I feel more than safe and sound

You wanna know what I'm thinkin'
Ever since you came I'm livin'
On top of the world, I can't deny
Every one of my fears has vanished
I don't know how you managed
To wake me up and come alive

What is this feeling of power and drive
I've never known? I feel alive!
Where does this feeling of power derive
Making me know why I'm alive?

Like the night, it's a secret
Sinister dark and unknown
I do not know what I seek
Yet I'll seek it alone!

I have a thirst that I cannot deprive
Never have I felt so alive!
There is no battle I couldn't survive
Feeling like this -- Feeling alive!

Like the moon, an enigma
Lost and alone in the night
Damned by some heavenly stigma
But blazing with light!

It's the feeling of being alive!
Filled with evil, but truly alive!
It's the truth that cannot be denied!
It's the feeling of being Edward Hyde...

I'm normal outside
He's evil inside
I'm Dr Jekyll and
He's Mr Hyde
I want what's right
He walks in the night
Searching for sin in his
Decadent life

My charms will beguile you
And my arms will defile you

Me I'm on the side of the angels
But the devil's my best friend
Sin is a way of life
Saints are for suckers
Welcome to the underworld
I start where nightmares end
Two for the price of one
Two for the price of, one?

I'm normal outside
He's evil inside
I'm Dr Jekyll and
He's Mr Hyde
I try to be true
He tries to be cruel
I'll hold you gently but
He'll smother you

I am glad someone posted something with the word brave because I literally spent at least 4 months looking for a song with the word brave that I actually knew and liked with no success.

Don't you call me pudgy, portly or stout
Just now tell me once again who's fat

When I walk out to get my mail
It measures on the Richter scale
Down at the beach I'm a lucky man
I'm the only one who gets a tan
If I have one more pie a la mode
I'm gonna need my own zip code

When you're only having seconds
I'm a' having twenty-thirds
When I go to get my shoes shined
I gotta take their word

Because I'm fat, I'm fat, sha mone
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it you know
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
And my shadow weighs a' forty-two pounds
Lemme tell you once again who's fat

But for me to rap like a computer it must be in my genes
I got a laptop in my back pocket
My pen'll go off when I half-cock it
Got a fat knot from that rap profit
Made a livin' and a killin' off it
Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office
With Monica Lewinsky feelin' on his nutsack
I'm an MC still as honest
But as rude and as indecent as all hell
Syllables, skill-a-holic (Kill 'em all with)

That's it
The straw that breaks my back
I quit
Unless you take it back
Women, what is it about them?
Can't live with them or without them

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be (who I was meant to be)
And if you give a damn (and if you give a damn then)
Take me baby, or leave me
Take me baby, take me or la la la la la leave me
Take me baby or leave me
Guess I'm leaving I'm gone

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
