Dorian

New name, new friends, new place

Rolls the window down and checks the mirror

Cigarette is burning, no turning back

No time to think about the fear

Of what was wrong or right then

It doesn’t matter, he’s just got to get away

To where no one knows his name or

What brings him to say the things he doesn’t want to say

(Pre-chorus)

But in the trunk a frame of gold

A picture of a boy who never will grow old

(Chorus)

Dorian drives away

There’s nothing anyone can say

Dorian drives away

Pulls in unnoticed, unimpressed

Looks just like the town he saw before

Amazing how some deals

Have ways of leaving you just feeling like a whore

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

It’s all so grey, where is the sun?

Where do you go when you just wanna be someone

What is the point of dreaming now?

But things don’t work out like they did in fairy tales

He made a deal for life but bargained straight for hell, and now he drives away

(Chorus)

Dorian, Dorian drives, Dorian, Dorian drives

What Do I Know?

These rules don’t fit

These lines aren’t clear

You’ve boxed me in

Too close to breathe

Chorus:

Look at the birds

They fly

I watch the clouds

Feel them cry

Without you

There’s no “I”

But what do I know?

What do I know?

Two geese take flight

Sunsets in blue

One left alone

I can’t find you

(Chorus)

Beautiful

I could’ve been a pro ball player

England’s queen’s got nothing on me

I could’ve been an astronaut

Fly you and me to Mercury

I saw the way you introduced me

Don’t worry, baby, they don’t know

They can’t see the way I make you sing

Baby, they don’t know

Chorus:

So what if I’m not

So, what if I’m not

What if I’m not beautiful?

I could been the top of my class

I could’ve won their Nobel Prize

Maybe I could shine for Mommy and Daddy

Just tell ‘em it’s the look in my eyes

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Stop making excuses for me

I don’t need you to make it okay

I could been anything for

But I’m just here

What if I become Miss America

What if I become Kingdom Come

What if nothing else really matters, baby

What if no one else ever comes along

What if I was your holy Moses

Lead you right into heaven’s gate

What if I could make you feel so good that Nothing else could ever make it go away

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

(Chorus)
