V1:
I wake up in the morning but I don't wanna go
I have to go to work know it's what I'm suppose to do
But I would rather stay here and have fun with you
Just fooling around doing the crazy things that we do
Chorus:
Even in these times, when it can get so bad
These are still the best of times
The best times, the best times we ever had
V2:
I wake up in the morning clothes piled on the floor
I take a deep breath as I run for the door
Everything will be here when I return
I'm headed for the ocean there's something I forgot to learn
Chorus:
Even in these times, when it can get so bad
These are still the best of times
The best times, the best times we ever had
Instrumental
Bridge:
Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm. Yeah.
Everyday is a good day, when we're together.
It's a good day, make it last forever.
Chorus:
Even in these times, when it can get so bad
These are still the best of times
The best times, the best times we ever had
Outro:
Even in these times, these days
When we’re together
Even the good times these days last forever
Even in these times, these days
When we’re together
Even the good times these days last forever
These times, these times
Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm. Yeah.
Even in these times, these days
These times. These days. These days. These days.

The Other Side

www.ambersnider.com | amber@ambersnider.com
V1:
Maybe I can build a boat and sail far away from here
Maybe I can jump a train and only pack a couple beers
Maybe I can stretch my face, erase a couple years
Maybe I can dig a hole and pop up on the other side
V2:
Maybe I can coil away in a basket where the cobras lay
I’ll only come out when I hear flutes play
Maybe I can stow away in a moving van go far away
I’ll be hiding out like cargo freight, yeah on the other side... the other side.
Chorus:
Any place would be better than the one I got, the one it’s not
I could only get away from here, then I’d have no pain, I’d have no fear
I can go anywhere, anytime in my mind
You could come along for the ride… yeah… to the other side.
V3:
I can join an excavation team, dig for bones things unseen
Sort through and figure out what they mean
I can join a carnival and see the world from a tilt-a-whirl (tilt-a-whirl)
Eat candy apples everyday yeah, on the other side... the other side.
Chorus:
Any place would be better than the one I got, the one it’s not
I could only get away from here, then I’d have no pain, I’d have no fear
I can go anywhere, anytime in my mind
You could come along for the ride… yeah… to the other side.
The other side.
Chorus/Outro:
Any place would be better than the one I got, the one it’s not
If I could only get away from here, then I’d have no pain, I’d have no fear (the other side)
I can go anywhere, anytime in my mind (the other side)
You could come along for the ride… yeah… to the other side.
The other side. The other side. The other side. To the other side.

www.ambersnider.com | amber@ambersnider.com
V1:
I've found myself amongst the ashes
I've seen the others leave as time passes
Chorus:
Take my hand
I will never have what you will take from me
Please understand
Close your eyes and maybe you will see
You will see
V2:
Lost and lonely if only you were here
Carry something
Something very near
Chorus:
Take my hand
I will never have what you will take from me
Please understand
Close your eyes and maybe you will see
You will see

Don't say love
Don't say me
Love is not for free
Not for the weary
Not for the faint of heart
It's not for me
Instrumental
V3:
Be still
Don't say a word
It's all been heard before
And I will look into your eyes
They always say more

Where My Buffalo Roam
Words and Music by Amber Snider
Puddle Siren Music Publishing, ASCAP ©2006
www.ambersnider.com | amber@ambersnider.com
V1:
People always yelling in my ear
Not always telling me things that I wanna hear
The lady down the street she's yelling at her kids
She says "get in the house and stop sniveling"!
V2:
I walk down the street on my way to the store
People act like they never seen a white girl before
They roll up, like, 5 homies deep and say "hey white girl"
Then I hear the tires screech.
V3:
Policeman they knock at more my door saying
"Good evening, have you heard any loud noises before like gunshots?"
"What? I say. No, I haven't heard nothing. Have a nice day."
Chorus:
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
V4:
What's with the cars, the cars that go boom?
It's like 3 in the morning, not the afternoon.
The bass is shaking every window on the block
The car speakers suck, I can't hear myself talk.
V5:
Since when are kids so damn mean
They walk down the street yelling things obscene
For no reason at all they kick over the trash
It's not like it was directly in their path
V6:
Sometimes they hang out by the tree
Slinging rocks, I don't know drinking "Old E"
I say “what's up?” you know, trying to act cool
Then I end up looking like a fool.
Chorus:
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
Bridge:
If only we could all just get along
Accept our differences, time to move on
Act with with honor, respect and love
Eliminate hate, it’s time to rise above
V7:
Graffiti wars on the wall
People wanna raise up they wanna stand tall
But they go about it in all the wrong ways
And then it stays there for days and days
V8:
The city decided it needs a fresh coat of paint
When I see the man painting I applaud like he's a saint
I yell “thank you!” at which point he laughs
Then I cross the street stepping over the trash
Chorus:
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
What can I say? It's home, sweet home.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
In the ghetto is where my buffalo roam.
Instrumental / End

Chorus:
Sorry for the things I said
Sorry for those things I did
Sorry for the way I am
I’m sorry for nothing
V1:
So I walked around the earth, I wanted to see the other side
But I couldn't get far enough, couldn't find a place to hide
Guess I got a long, guess I got a long way to go
If I’m to find my piece of mind
I guess I got a long road to travel on, a lot of waves to ride
Chorus:
Sorry for the things I said
Sorry for those things I did
Sorry for the way I am
I’m sorry for nothing
V2:
I chased my illusions like it were a drug
And I chased my confusion, didn't care where I ended up
Guess I got a long, guess I got a long way to go
Til’ I’m to find my piece of mind
I guess I got a long road to travel on, a lot of waves to ride
Bridge:
I've made some mistakes, did what I had to do
So have you, but I never meant to hurt you
I fell on my face, I thought I was cool
Like a fool, though I never meant to desert you
I’m sorry, sorry, I’m sorry, sorry, hey, hey, hey, hey
Chorus (x2):
Sorry for those things I said
Sorry for those things I did
Sorry for the way I am
I’m sorry for nothing
Sorry for those things I said
Sorry for those things I did
I’m sorry for the way I am
I’m sorry for nothing

www.ambersnider.com | amber@ambersnider.com
V1:
Bonafide sexual commentary
And I’m sure you’ve got a health bone to pick with me
But I’m choosing my illusions so carefully
I’m choosin’ chaotic sanctity
V2:
Don’t talk just walk into the kitchen
Sit yourself down into the chair
I’ll hold onto your shoulders
You can run your fingers through my hair

Moonlight beams off your sweaty brow
There is no other time or place besides here and now
You can be my Romeo and I your Juliette
And this will be the night that neither you or I ever forget

Come on baby hold on tight…
Adore me… Tonight
Your love, it moves straight through me and I’m choosing
Chaotic Sanc-ti-ty.

And I’m sure you’ve got a health bone to pick with me
But I’m choosing my illusions so carefully, so carefully
I’m choosing chaotic sanctity

Save you breathe and your time
Don’t make that call
My heart won’t listen, it won’t listen at all
