Opera Star lyrics - Collective Soul

(originally by Neil Young)

Some things never change
They stay the way they are

So your girlfriend slammed the door shut
In your face tonight, but that's alright
Then she took off to the opera
With some highbrow from the city lights
Well, you grew up on a corner
You never missed a moonlit night

Some things never change
They stay the way they are
You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star
You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star

So you stay out all night
Getting fucked up in the rock 'n' roll bar
And you never get tired
'Cause your drugs are in a little jar
You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star

Some things never change
They stay the way they are

I was born to rock

So your girlfriend slammed the door shut
In your face tonight, but that's alright
Then she took off to the opera
With some highbrow from the city lights
Well, you grew up on a corner
You never missed a moonlit night

Some things never change
They stay the way they are

You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star
You were born to rock
You will never be an opera star

Let Her Out lyrics - Collective Soul

Alright

They say she's sin dressed like a saint
Not his fault, her mistake
Loose lips wanna seal her fate
But truth don't lie when a soul's at stake

Let her out, let her out
Too many rumors ganging round
Let her out, let her out
She's got no hope in this town
She's got no love here now

Doo-doodoo-doo
Doo-doodoo-doo
Doo-doodoo-doo
Doodoo-doodoo-doo

Says she dreams of moving where it's warm
Maybe by the Charleston shore
But first she's gotta weather through this storm
Until she feels reborn

Let her out, let her out
Too many rumors ganging round
Let her out, let her out
She's got no hope in this town
She's got no love here now

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Let her out, let her out
Too many rumors ganging round
Let her out, let her out
She's got no hope in this town
She's got no love here now
Oh, she's better than you clown
So let her out, let her out

Back Again lyrics - Collective Soul

I would take you back again
If you could fill my shoes
I would take you back again
If I could feel like you

Love is like gravity
Grounding us to what we so choose
Love is like promises
Spoken words from out of the blue

I would take you back again
If you could see my view
I would take you back again
If I could see like you

Love is like gravity
Grounding us to what we so choose
Love is like promises
Spoken words from out of the blue

Oh, oh
Just be like you do
Oh, oh
I can't feel like you
I could take you back
But today's not tomorrow's news

I would take you back again
If you could hear my truth
I would take you back again
If I could be like you

Love is like gravity
Grounding us to what we so choose
Love is like promises
Spoken words from out of the blue

Oh, oh
Just be like you do
Oh, oh
I can't feel like you
I could take you back
But today's not tomorrow's news

I could take you back
I could take you back
I could take you back
I could take you back

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I could take you back again
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I could take you back again
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I could take you back again
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I could take you back again

The One I Love lyrics - Collective Soul (originally by R.E.M.)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire

Smile lyrics - Collective Soul

Miss those days, my yesteryears
Filled with pride, packed with fear
I was pushing forward, liked to do make-believe
Walked like a saint, ran with a band of thieves

I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
I searched in all directions
For a universal smile
I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
Then I heard your heartbeat, baby
And I saw your precious smile
Oh, Lord

All the stars I stared upon
Said, "God is great, but you're on your own"
Living life in color, practicing in black and white
Comforting my creatures, Jesus hanging by my side

I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
I searched in all directions
For a universal smile
I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
Then I heard your heartbeat, baby
And I saw your precious smile

I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
Yeah, I searched in all directions
For a universal smile
I was looking up (looking up)
While feeling down (down)
Then I heard your heartbeat, baby
And I saw your precious smile
Oh, Lord

I'm alive again (looking up)
I'm alive again (looking up)
I'm alive again (looking up)
I'm alive again (looking up)
Oh (looking up)
Oh (looking up)
Oh, that's sweet (looking up)
Oh, that's sweet (looking up)
Oh, that's sweet (looking up)
