    Matthew started the original thread IIRC, and it was a tremendous success, so I thought it would be cool to bring a classic back to life. Enjoy!

    Constant Motion
    by Dream Theater
    from "Systematic Chaos" (2007)

    [Music: Dream Theater / Lyrics: Mike Portnoy]

    Tunnel vision at blinding speed
    Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
    Void of any uncertainty
    Throughout my very soul

    Lost illusions of mind control
    Resisting all hope of letting go
    Racing impulse of dark desire
    Drives me through the night

    I try to shut it down
    It leaves me in the dust
    No matter what I've found
    I can never get enough

    Frantic actions of insanity
    Impulsive laced profanity
    Long for elusive serenity
    Way out of my control

    Traveling through both space and time
    (Out of body, out of mind)
    Out of control
    My wheels in constant motion

    Spinning round and round it goes
    (I can't let up, I can't let go)
    Can't stop this flame from burning
    Forever more
    Into the night
    Blistering

    Focus here, focus there
    Cannot see the light
    (Falling down through the night)
    Sprawling everywhere

    Searching left, searching right
    (Panic setting in, I can no longer fight)
    When will this end?

    Accelerate, dislocate
    (Set to crash and burn, haven't got time to waste)
    Not planning to return

    Aggravate, agitate
    (When will I ever learn?)
    There's no way out of here
    Nowhere to turn

    Obsessive yearning
    Compulsive burning
    Still never learning
    Insane random thoughts
    Of neat disorder

    Scattered wasteland surrounding me
    Tattered memories of what used to be
    Apocalyptic mind debris
    Until we meet again

    Traveling through both space and time
    (Out of body, out of mind)
    Out of control
    My wheels in constant motion

    Spinning round and round it goes
    (I can't let up, I can't let go)
    Can't stop this flame from burning
    Forever more
    Into the night
    Blistering

    Traveling through both space and time
    (Out of body, out of mind)
    Out of control
    My wheels in constant motion

    Spinning round and round it goes
    (I can't let up, I can't let go)
    Can't stop this flame from burning
    Can't stop the wheels from turning

    Traveling through both space and time
    (You get yours, and I got mine)
    Out of control
    My wheels in constant motion

    Spinning round and round it goes
    (I can't let up, I can't let go)
    Can't stop this flame from burning
    Forever more
    Into the night
    Blistering

    The Frayed Ends Of Sanity - Metallica

    Never Hunger
    Never Prosper
    I Have Fallen Prey to Failure
    Struggle Within
    Triggered Again
    Now the Candle Burns at Both Ends
    Twisting under Schizophrenia
    Falling Deep into Dementia

    Old Habits Reappear
    Fighting the Fear of Fear
    Growing Conspiracy
    Everyone's after Me
    Frayed Ends of Sanity
    Hear Them Calling
    Hear Them Calling Me

    Birth of Terror
    Death of Much More
    I'm the Slave of Fear,my Captor
    Never Warnings
    Spreading its Wings
    As I Wait for the Horror She Brings
    Loss of Interest,question,wonder
    Waves of Fear They Pull Me under

    Old Habits Reappear
    Fighting the Fear of Fear
    Growing Conspiracy
    Everyone's after Me
    Frayed Ends of Sanity
    Hear Them Calling
    Hear Them Calling Me

    Into Ruin
    I Am Sinking
    Hostage of this Nameless Feeling
    Hell Is Set Free
    Flooded I'll Be
    Feel the Undertow Inside Me
    Height,hell,time,haste,terror,tension
    Life,death,want,waste,mass Depression

    Old Habits Reappear
    Fighting the Fear of Fear
    Growing Conspiracy
    Myself Is after Me
    Frayed Ends of Sanity
    Hear Them Calling
    Frayed Ends of Sanity
    Hear Them Calling
    Hear Them Calling Me

    Hank Williams - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (Williams)

    Hear the lonesome whipperwhil
    he sounds too blue to fly
    the midnight train is whinning low
    I'm so lonesome I could cry.

    I've never seen a night so long
    when time goes crawling by
    the moon just went behind a cloud
    to hide its face a cry

    Did you ever see a Robin weep
    when leaves begin to die?
    that means he's lost the will to live.
    I'm so lonesome I could cry.

    The silence of a falling star
    lights up a purple sky.
    And as I wonder where you are
    I'm so lonesome I could cry.

    Elvis Costello Almost Blue

    Almost blue
    Almost doing things we used to do
    Theres a girl here and shes almost you
    Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
    I see in hers too
    Now your eyes are red from crying

    Almost blue
    Flirting with this disaster became me
    It named me as the fool who only aimed to be

    Almost blue
    Its almost touching it will almost do
    Theres a part of me thats always true...always
    Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
    Ive seen such an unhappy couple

    Almost me
    Almost you
    Almost blue

    Forsaken
    by Dream Theater
    from "Systematic Chaos" (2007)

    Composer: Dream Theater
    Lyrics by: John Petrucci

    For a while
    I thought I fell asleep
    Lying motionless inside a dream

    Then rising suddenly
    I felt a chilling breath upon me
    She softly whispered in my ear

    Forsaken
    I have come for you tonight
    Awaken
    Look in my eyes and take my hand
    Give yourself up to me

    I waited painfully
    For night to fall again
    Trying to silence the fear within me

    Out of an ivory mist
    I felt a stinging kiss
    And saw a crimson stain on her lips

    I have to know your name
    Where have I seen your face before?
    My dear one don't you be afraid

    Forsaken
    I have come for you tonight
    Awaken
    Look in my eyes and take my hand
    Give yourself up to me

    Take me far away
    Close your eyes
    And hold your breath
    To the ends of the earth

    Forsaken
    I have come for you tonight
    Awaken
    Look in my eyes and take my hand

    Forsaken
    Fly away with me tonight
    Awaken
    Renew my life
    Now you are mine
    Give yourself up to me

    FAR CRY --- Rush
    Lyrics by Neil Peart

    Pariah dogs and wandering madmen
    Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues
    The ebb and flow of tidal fortune
    Electrical changes are charging up the young

    It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
    It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it
    You can almost feel the current flowing
    You can almost see the circuits blowing

    One day I feel I'm on top of the world
    And the next it's falling in on me
    I can get back on
    I can get back on
    One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,
    And the next it's rolling over me
    I can get back on
    I can get back on

    Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal
    Rise in anger, fall back, and repeat
    Slow degrees on the dark horizon
    Full moon rising lays silver at your feet

    It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
    It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it
    You can almost feel the current flowing
    You can almost see the circuits blowing

    One day I feel I'm on top of the world
    And the next it's falling in on me
    I can get back on
    I can get back on
    One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,
    And the next it's rolling over me
    I can get back on
    I can get back on

    It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
    You can almost see the circle growing
    You can almost feel the planet glowing

    One day I feel I'm on top of the world
    And the next it's falling in on me
    I can get back on
    I can get back on
    One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,
    And the next it's rolling over me
    I can get back on
    I can get back on

    One day I fly through a crack in the sky
    And the next it's falling in on me
    I can get back on
    I can get back on

    "DOA" --- Foo Fighters
    Lyrics by Dave Grohl

    Oh you know I did it
    It's over and I feel fine
    Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
    Waited and I waited the longest night
    Nothing like the taste to sweet decline

    I went down, I fell, I fell so fast
    Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
    Never say forever cause nothing last
    Dancing with the bones of my buried past

    Never mind there's nothing I can do
    Bet your life there's something killing you

    It's a shame we have to die my dear
    No ones getting out of here, alive
    This time

    What a way to go, they have no fear
    No ones getting out of here, alive
    This time

    I'm finished, I'm getting you off my chest
    Made you come clean in a dirty dress
    A promise is a promise you kept in check
    Hard to cross a heart that beats it's best

    Take a good hard look for the very last time
    The very last one in a very long line
    Only took a second to say goodbye
    Been a pleasure but the pleasure's been mine, all mine

    Ain't no way, DOA
    Ain't no way, DOA

    It's a shame we have to disappear
    No ones getting out of here, alive
    This time
    This time
    This time

    Jailbreak
    by Thin Lizzy

    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    Somewhere in this town
    See me and the boys we don't like it
    So were getting up and going down

    Hiding low looking right to left
    If you see us coming I think it's best
    To move away do you hear what I say
    From under my breath

    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    Somewhere in the town
    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    So don't you be around

    Don't you be around

    Tonight there's gonna be trouble
    Some of us won't survive
    See the boys and me mean business
    Bustin' out dead or alive

    I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
    All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
    Like the game if you lose
    Go to jail

    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    Somewhere in the town
    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    So don't you be around

    Tonight there's gonna trouble
    I'm gonna find myself in
    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    So woman stay with a friend

    You know it's safer

    Breakout!

    Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
    Into the city zones
    Don't you dare to try and stop us
    No one could for long

    Searchlight on my trail
    Tonight's the night all systems fail
    Hey you good lookin' female
    Come here!

    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    Somewhere in the town
    Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
    So don't you be around

    Tonight there's gonna be trouble
    I'm gonna find myself in
    Tonight there's gonna be trouble
    So woman stay with a friend

    "Company Car"

    Mike was right when he said I'd put up
    A fight to be someone, a fight to be me
    But see now, I'm down
    Under the pavement
    Of capital hills and lowercase people
    As time rolls by my dreams have become
    That which is attainable
    Not what I'm looking for!

    I've got the company car
    I'm the one swinging at two below par
    Yeah, I've become one with the ones
    That I've never believed in
    But I've got the company car

    I'm the king of things I've always despised
    I'm the gingerbread man
    who got eaten alive
    I'm half-baked! I'm fake!
    But see I've got hotels on
    Park Place and Boardwalk
    And two hundred bucks
    I pass go but, oh! Life's taken its toll
    Have I won Monopoly to forfiet my soul?

    But see, I've got the company car
    I'm the one swinging at two below par
    Yeah, I've become one with the ones
    That I've never believed in
    But I've got the company car

    All the king's horses
    At the foot of the wall
    They're taking pictures of
    The man who's lost all of his
    Masks of pretension
    He's got two faces left
    His is the one that he hides
    On the left behind that smile...

    Hiding tears and fear
    That burns like an engine
    It drives him away
    From the ones that he loves
    Mike was right:
    "Hey Mike! We're one and the same;
    we're the faceless combatants
    in the lonliest game"
    Ah but say, I'll wave as I'm driving by
    With that smirk in my eye, yelling
    "Hey! I'm something man, check me out!"

    I've got the company car
    I'm the one swinging at two below par
    Yeah, I've become one with the ones
    That I've never believed in
    But I've got the company car
    Yeah, check me out, I've got the company car!

    "The Boys Are Back In Town"
    Thin Lizzy

    Guess who just got back today
    Them wild-eyed boys, that'd been away
    Haven't changed, had much to say
    But man I still think them cats are crazy

    They were asking if you were around
    How you was, where you could be found
    Told them you were living downtown
    Driving all the old men crazy

    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
    (I said) The boys are back in town
    The boys are back in town
    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)

    You know that chick who used to dance a lot?
    Every night she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she got
    Man when I tell you she was cool she was red hot
    I mean she was steamin'

    And that time over at Johnny's place
    When this chick got up and slapped Johnny's face
    Man we just fell about the place
    What that chick don't wanna know forget 'er

    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
    (I said) the boys are back in town
    The boys are back in town
    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)

    Spread the word around
    Guess who's back in town

    You spread the word around

    Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
    Down at Dino's bar and grill
    The drinks will flow and blood will spill
    If the boys wanna fight you better let 'em

    That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
    The nights are getting longer, it won't be long,
    Won't be long 'til summer comes, now that the boys are here again.

    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
    (Spread the word around)
    The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
    (The boys are back, the boys are back)

    The boys are back in town again

    They're hanging out at Dino's

    The boys are back in town again

    Defying Gravity - Wicked The Musical

    GLINDA
    (spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for
    once, instead of flying off the handle!
    (sung) I hope you're happy!
    I hope you're happy now
    I hope you're happy how you
    Hurt your cause forever
    I hope you think you're clever!

    ELPHABA
    I hope you're happy
    I hope you're happy, too
    I hope you're proud how you
    Would grovel in submission
    To feed your own ambition

    BOTH
    So though I can't imagine how
    I hope you're happy right now

    GLINDA
    (spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
    (sung) You can still be with the Wizard
    What you've worked and waited for
    You can have all you ever wanted:

    ELPHABA
    (spoken) I know:
    (sung) But I don't want it -
    No - I can't want it
    Anymore:

    Something has changed within me
    Something is not the same
    I'm through with playing by the rules
    Of someone else's game
    Too late for second-guessing
    Too late to go back to sleep
    It's time to trust my instincts
    Close my eyes: and leap!

    It's time to try
    Defying gravity
    I think I'll try
    Defying gravity
    And you can't pull me down!

    GLINDA
    Can't I make you understand?
    You're having delusions of grandeur:

    ELPHABA
    I'm through accepting limits
    ''cause someone says they're so
    Some things I cannot change
    But till I try, I'll never know!
    Too long I've been afraid of
    Losing love I guess I've lost
    Well, if that's love
    It comes at much too high a cost!
    I'd sooner buy
    Defying gravity
    Kiss me goodbye
    I'm defying gravity
    And you can't pull me down:
    (spoken) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
    do: together.

    (sung) Unlimited
    Together we're unlimited

    Together we'll be the greatest team
    There's ever been
    Glinda -
    Dreams, the way we planned 'em

    GLINDA
    If we work in tandem:

    BOTH
    There's no fight we cannot win
    Just you and I
    Defying gravity
    With you and I
    Defying gravity

    ELPHABA
    They'll never bring us down!
    (spoken) Well? Are you coming?

    GLINDA
    I hope you're happy
    Now that you're choosing this

    ELPHABA
    (spoken) You too
    (sung) I hope it brings you bliss

    BOTH
    I really hope you get it
    And you don't live to regret it
    I hope you're happy in the end
    I hope you're happy, my friend:

    ELPHABA So if you care to find me
    Look to the western sky!
    As someone told me lately:
    "Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
    And if I'm flying solo
    At least I'm flying free
    To those who'd ground me
    Take a message back from me
    Tell them how I am
    Defying gravity
    I'm flying high
    Defying gravity
    And soon I'll match them in renown
    And nobody in all of Oz
    No Wizard that there is or was
    Is ever gonna bring me down!

    GLINDA
    I hope you're happy!

    CITIZENS OF OZ
    Look at her, she's wicked!
    Get her!

    ELPHABA
    :Bring me down!

    CITIZENS OF OZ
    No one mourns the wicked
    So we've got to bring her

    ELPHABA
    Ahhh!

    CITIZENS OF OZ
    Down!

    "Flowing" - 311

    Along the way to close my eyes
    I lost where I was going
    the more it will spin
    the more that I try
    to stop my mind flowing away, away
    to all that I despise
    along the way to close my eyes

    You can't be let down if you
    don't expand your world
    expect to lay awake and by your sleeping girl
    if somebody cares then there
    is no way you can tell
    cursed consciousness is your private hell

    Along the way to close my eyes
    I lost where I was going
    the more it will spin
    the more that I try
    to stop my mind flowing away, away
    to all that I despise
    along the way to close my eyes

    Tick, tick, tick the clock bludgeons your mind
    endlessly replaying times that were unkind
    go away sun I'm not prepared for you today
    it seems you are, it seems you are, huh!

    Along the way to close my eyes
    I lost where I was going
    the more it will spin
    the more that I try
    to stop my mind flowing away, away
    to all that I despise
    along the way to close my eyes

    Sweet Sacrifice- Evanescence


    It's true, we're all a little insane
    But it's so clear
    Now that I'm unchained

    Fear is only in our minds
    Taking over all the time
    Fear is only in our minds
    But it's taking over all the time

    You poor sweet innocent thing
    Dry your eyes and testify
    You know you live to break me - don't deny
    Sweet sacrifice

    One day I'm gonna forget your name
    And one sweet day,
    You're gonna drown in my lost pain

    Fear is only in our minds
    Taking over all the time
    Fear is only in our minds
    But it's taking over all the time


    You poor sweet innocent thing
    Dry your eyes and testify
    And oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?
    I'm your sacrifice

    [I dream in darkness
    I sleep to die
    Erase the silence
    Erase my life
    Our burning ashes
    Blacken the day
    A world of nothingness
    Blow me away]

    Do you wonder why you hate?
    Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?

    You poor sweet innocent thing
    Dry your eyes and testify
    You know you live to break me, don't deny
    Sweet sacrifice

    Everybody's Fool - Evanescence


    Perfect by nature,
    Icons of self indulgence,
    Just what we all need,
    More lies about a world that...

    (chorus)
    Never was and never will be ,
    Have you no shame dont you see me,
    You know you've got everybody fooled,

    Look here she comes now,
    bow down and stare in wonder,
    Oh how we love you,
    no flaws when you're pretending
    but now I know she...

    Never was and never will be,

    You don't know how you've betrayed me,
    And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

    Without the mask where will you hide?
    Can't find yourself lost in your lies.

    I know the truth now,
    I know who you are,
    And i don't love you anymore,

    It never was and never will be,
    You don't know how you've betrayed me,
    And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

    It never was and never will be,
    You're not real and you can't save me,
    And somehow now you're everybody's fool.

    "Any Way You Want It"
    By Journey from 1980's album "Departure"
    Lyrics by Steve Perry and Neal Schon

    Any way you want it
    That's the way you need it
    Any way you want it

    She loves to laugh
    She loves to sing
    She does everything
    She loves to move
    She loves to grove
    She loves the lovin' things
    Ooh, all night, all night
    Oh, every night
    So hold tight, hold tight
    Ooh, baby, hold tight
    Oh, she said,

    Any way you want it
    That's the way you need it
    Any way you want it
    She said, Any way you want it
    That's the way you need it
    Any way you want it

    I was alone
    I never knew
    What good love could do
    Ooh, then we touched
    Then we sang
    About the lovin' things

    Ooh, all night, all night
    Oh, every night
    So hold tight, hold tight
    Ooh baby, hold tight
    Oh, she said,

    Any way you want it
    That's the way you need it
    Any way you want it
    She said, Any way you want it
    That's the way you need it
    Any way you want it

    Never Enough - Five Finger Death Punch

    I'm so fed up with everyone around me
    (No one seems to care)
    I'm just so far gone and nothing's gonna change
    (I'll never be the same)

    It's always do this, do that,
    Everything they want to
    I don't want to live that way
    Every chance they get their always
    Pushin me away

    [Chorus:]
    It's never enough
    No it's never enough
    No matter what I say

    It's never enough
    No it's never enough
    I'll never be what you want me to be

    It's all so messed up and no one ever listens
    (Everyone's deranged)
    I'm just so fucked up and I'm never gonna change
    (Wanna lay it all to waste)

    Their always say this, say that,
    Nothing that you want to
    I don't want to live that way
    Every chance they get their always
    Shovin me aside

    [Chorus]

    I'm Done

    [Bridge:]
    In the end we're all just chalklines on the concrete
    Drawn only to be washed away
    For the time that I've been given
    I am what I am

    I'd rather hate you
    For everything you are
    Than ever love you
    For something you are not

    I'd rather you hate me
    For everything I am
    Than have you love me
    For something that I aint

    It's never enough
    It's never enough
    No matter what I say

    It's never enough
    No it's never enough
    No matter who I try to be

    It's never enough
    No it's never enough
    No matter how I try to taste

    It's never enough
    Never never enough
    I'll never be what you want me to be.

    I'm kind of leaning towards Harry Nillson's You're Breakin' My Heart:

    You're breakin' my heart
    You're tearin' it apart
    So fuck you
    All I want to do
    Is have a good time
    Now I'm blue
    You wanna boogaloo
    Run down to Tramps
    Have a dance or two--ooh!
    You're breaking my heart
    You're tearin' it apart
    But fuck you
    You're breakin' my heart
    You're tearin' it apart
    Ooh!--ooh!--
    You stepped on my ass
    You're breaking my glasses too
    You wanna drive my car
    Buy a lot of stuff
    I've had enough
    Of you--ooh!
    I'm goin' insane
    There's no one to blame
    So fuck you
    You've gotta have your way
    There's nothin' left to say
    There's nothin' left to do--ooh!
    You're breakin' my heart
    You're tearin' it apart
    So fuck you
    You've gotta have your way
    There's nothin' left to say
    There's nothin' left to do--ooh!
    You're breakin' my heart
    You're tearin' it apart
    But I love you
    (Do-do-doots)

    What a difference a week and a half makes. Time to change our theme song, should we take over first place, and we should leading 7-0 in the 7th.

    I'm not a big Boston fan, but the first verse of Don't look back seems appropriate:
    Dont look back
    A new day is breakin
    Its been too long since I felt this way
    I dont mind where I get taken
    The road is callin
    Today is the day
