A conversation using nothing but song lyrics

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along
 
Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.

Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they're turned around.

Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Back here where we need ya (Back here where we need ya)

Yeah we tease him a lot cause we've got him on the spot, welcome back,

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

Get up stand up,
Stand up for your rights.
Get up stand up,
Don't give up the fight.
 
No sleep till Brooklyn!

Many years since I was here,
On the street I was passin' my time away
To the left and to the right,
Buildings towering to the sky
It's outta sight in the dead of night


Here I am, and in this city, with a fistful of dollars
And baby, you'd better believe


I'm back, back in the New York groove
I'm back, back in the New York groove
I'm back, back in the New York groove
Back in the New York groove, in the New York groove
 
He was headin' into Boston in a big, long diesel truck
It was his first trip to Boston, he was having lots of luck
He was going the wrong direction down a one-way street in town
And this is what he said when the police chased him down.

Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
It's the easiest way that I've found ...
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around.

Boyz II Men, Boyz II Men,
Boyz II Men, Boyz II Men


Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast fling
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft


It's long overdue but now
Philly is slammin'
Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD
The east coast family
 
We're just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet...
 
I'm gonna tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I'm gonna tell you a big fat story, baby
Aw, it's all about my town

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles
(Aw, that's what's happenin' baby)
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves
(Aw, but they're cool people)

Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
(Oh, you're the number one place)
 
Did he ever return, no he never returned,
And his fate is still unlearned,
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
He's the man who never returned.
 
But he'd never return
So the sisters would burn
As their eyes searched the land
With their cups full of sand
 
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door.
 
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door.
You gotta go go go go goodbye,
glad to see you go go go go goodbye.

Nauga,
with a baseball bat
 
Some words are sad to sing
Some leave me tongue-tied

But the hardest words I know
Are I love you goodbye
 
God does, but I don't,
God will, but I won't,
And that's the difference between God and me.
 
Some words are sad to sing
Some leave me tongue-tied

But the hardest words I know
Are I love you goodbye
What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
You'll never find it now
It's buried deep with your identity
So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't let the door hit you in the ass...

There's no return from 86

Nauga,
the nimrod
 
I don't feel you any more
you darken my door
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! don't come around here no more
 
Everybody looking
Looking pretty hard
Everybody searching
For a meaning in my art
I'll level with you bucko
It isn't worth a bean
If you ain't in possession
Of the ability to swing
The ability to swing
 
Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield
 
Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio,
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
 
50, 000 wats of power
And it's pushin' overload
The beast is ready to devour
All the metal they can hold
reachin overload
Start to explode
 
Rock 'n' roll never forgets...
So remember (remember remember) when the weather gets rough
You'll say to yourself, "What is happening to my skin?"
Where is that protection that I needed?"

Nauga,
who forgot, forgot to mention Memphis
 
Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

At the tender age of three
I was hooked to a machine
Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk
Must have took me for a fool
When they chucked me out of school
'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk
 
At the tender age of three
I was hooked to a machine
Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk
Must have took me for a fool
When they chucked me out of school
'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk
His teachers didn't understand
they kicked him out of school
at a tender early age just because
he didn't wanna learn things,
he like to burn things.

Nauga,
and his grey matter
 
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
