This song give me goosebumps
now THAT is a PERFORMANCE
THAT ENDING IS SO MUCH BETTER DEAR GOD I WANT THIS ON SPOTIFY AND ITUNES AND PERMANENTLY ENGRAVED IN MY SKULL
Thank you!
She did this some time ago at the Mohegan in CT. Awesome.
This was such a memorable show!
It was a gem of a show right in the middle of my clean-sweep of a Prince tour that was happening in AUS at that time.
I love you Janelle,Kilindo and all Wonderland.
Wow, girl can really sing 👌
Absolute perfection. 3
LYRICS:
Left the city, my momma she said don't come back home
These kids round' killin' each other, they lost they minds, they gone
They quittin' school, making babies and can barely read
Some gone off to their fall, lord have mercy on them
One, two, three, four, your cousins is round' here sellin' dope
While they're daddies, your uncle is walking round' strung out
Babies with babies, and their tears keep burning, while their dreams go down the drain now
Are we really living or just walking dead now?
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers please wake up, we can't sleep no more
Love don't make no sense, ask your neighbor
The winds have changed; it seems they have abandoned us
The truth hurts, and so does yesterday
What good is love if it burns bright, and explodes in flames
(I thought every little thing had love but uh)
Are we really living or just walking dead now?
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers please wake up, we can't sleep no more
I've seen them shootin' up funerals in they Sunday clothes
Spending money on spinners but won't pay college loans
And all you gangsters and bangers rollin' dice and taking lives, in a Smokey dark
Lord have mercy on you
Teacher, teacher please reach those girls in them videos
The little girls just broken Queen, confusing bling for soul
Danger, there's danger when you take off your clothes, all your dreams go down the drain girl
Are we really living or just walking dead now?
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers please wake up, we can't sleep no more
We live and then we die, and we never know the right
So now, now were gone now, on your mark
We live and then we die, and we never touch the sky
So now, now were gone now, on your mark
Five, seven, eight, two, one
It is now time, for you to come home my dear
You've been gone long enough
You must come, you must go
4:03 and the dance at 4:22, epic.
WOW. Always amazing. Sooo anxious for her next stuff.
This queen...
OK, let's be calm and rational about this: One of the greatest ever live Popular Music performances ever. Up with Led Zeppelin getting their lemon squeezed at Bath in (a long time ago)...
An INCREDIBLE performance...for a song which sadly did not age well 😢
Are you kidding me that’s a badass joint . They need it in a soundtrack
@@mannyzamora2709 I'm saying it didn't age well because its message is the opposite of many of Jane's later songs.
I get what you're saying lol. Because she's showing breast and stuff now, got it.
OMG, I was just thinking the same thing while I was listening closely to this song's lyrics. Especially with her latest album "The Age of Pleasure".
We are not worthy.
. ....... Big change to now
