Stephen Wilson Jr: Stand By Me
“When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No, I won’t be afraid
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me”
“When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No, I won’t be afraid
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me”
“How did I end up going on a bender?
I hate attention, but I’m right in the center of the room
And it’s spinning so I’m holding on to you<"
“My cousin told me you smashed
I found his nudes in your Snap
You hit me with your Subaru
What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“‘Round here, we’re carving out our names
‘Round here, we all look the same
‘Round here, we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
‘Round here, she’s slipping through my hands”
“I call today a disaster,
she calls it December the third
Call it what you will, I’m heartbroken still
Words are just words”
“Well they hung him from the gallows
As the sun turned red from yellow
The crowd they heard him halting
And they sighed with much relief”
“Bare breasted, you make love in the turret
I feel each single thrust that you take
And in silence I watch on from the bastion
Entranced, I make myself look away”
“A Friday night, killer queens
Hop a train, on the scene
All the band, is in the wild
Don’t you dare touch the dial”
“We can go to Paris, go to bed
It’s all a crazy trip
But life ain’t about what you do
It’s who you do it with”
“Are you having any fun?
What you getting out of living?
Who cares for what you’ve got if you’re not having any fun?”
“And so, Sally can wait
She knows it’s too late as she’s walking on by
My soul slides away
But ‘Don’t look back in anger,’ I heard you say”
“All my senses come to life
While I’m stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I’ll never leave again
‘Cause you are the only one”
“Hey angel, consider your position
Framed to be consumed
Savory
Savoring your sympathy”
“Bones, sinking like stones
All that we fought for
Homes, places we’ve grown
All of us are done for”
“Your fear of the leading light
if they are with you and your heart won’t fail
To see through a fearless eye
and know that danger finally goes away”
