lyrics

I walked along a city street
To escape my imagination
Spend too much time inside my mind
I need outside stimulation

I met a man holding out for change
Ashamed, I avoided his hand
But I heard his words as I turned away
It broke my heart what he said

"Don't give up... don't give up... don't go away
You can't give, no, don't give, oh, don't go... don't go away"

A psychic she was advertised
To be blind with a third eye that worked just fine, so I
Saved my petty cash and I
Arrived at her doorstep late one night
She took me in for a cup of steaming tea
She sat me down to read my energy
She said I'd live a long and happy life
But she didn't foresee no creativity,

Well I won't give up
Won't give up, I won't give
Won't go away
I can't give, oh,
Won't give, no,
I won't give... won't go away

You can say what you say, lady, it's your right
You got your delusions, and I've got mine
You've been reading a long time, yes I see
But I'm the only one who writes my destiny
I got magic charms, and I'm superstitious
And I believe in all of my wishes
Tried to hold myself down, but I'm too weak so
Step aside, I'm trying to speak, I said I

Won't give, won't go away
I can't go, won't go away

And the things that will be
Are already on their way
To becoming reality

I can't say when, I don't know how
But it's far too late to give up now
I still hold a weight upon my chest
But I won't sink back beneath the rest

I've been there
I did it well
And now my demons
Can go to... hell

I won't give up
Won't go away

The Liz O Show San Francisco, California

Fiesty, fiery, sassy, sweet, with the guitar riffs of an old soul bluesman and the confidence of a pop star, with lyrics as full of stories as Joni Mitchell's, and flamboyance to rival Janis Joplin's, and a world that is a colorful, surreal children's playroom come to life, Liz O is a rising force in San Francisco.

It's a party that doesn't stop, and the whole world is invited to the show! ... more
