  6. The Lighthouse Tale I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves. I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way. I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past. I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts. I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea. We had grown closer, 'till his joy meant everything to me. And he was to marry, a girl who shone with beauty and light. And they loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into night. [Chorus:]And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to sea. And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be. She'd had to leave us, my keeper he prayed for a safe return. But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned. He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wave. In me so helpless, as dashed against the rock she met her end. [Chorus]Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the SHORE. He kissed her cold face, that they'd be together soon he'd swore. I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand. And then he climbed my tower, and off of the edge of me he ran. [Chorus]I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves. And though I am empty, I still warn the sailors on their way.

I dunno how 'bout the power of flight?That do anything for ya? That's levitation, holmes.How 'bout the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.How 'bout the power to move you?[sung]History of Wonderboy and Young Nastyman,Riggah-goo-goo, riggah-goo-goo.A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold,And blasting forth with three-part harmony, yeow!Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?[spoken]Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces;they formed a band the likes of which have never been seen,and they called themselves Tenacious D. That's right,[sung]Me! And KG![KG (spoken):] That's me.[sung]We're now Tenacious D!Come fly with me, fly!Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man.

I feel no shameI'm proud of where I came fromI was born and raised in the boondocksOne thing I knowNo matter where I goI keep my heart and soul in the boondocksAnd I can feelThat muddy water running through my veinsAnd I can hear that lullaby of a midnight trainIt sings to me and it sounds familiar(Chorus)And I can tasteThat honeysuckle and it's still so sweetWhen it grows wildOn the banks down at old camp creekYeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing(Chorus)It's where I learned about livingIt's where I learned about loveIt's where I learned about working hardAnd having a little was just enough It's where I learned about JesusAnd knowing where I standYou can take it or leave it, this is meThis is who I amGive me a tin roofA front porch and a gravel roadAnd that's home to meIt feels like home to me(Chorus)I keep my heart and soul in the boondocksYou get a line, I'll get a poleWe'll go fishing in the crawfish holeFive-card poker on a Saturday nightChurch on Sunday morning(2x)You get a line, I'll get a poleWe'll go fishing in the crawfish hole(Down in the boondocks)Five-card poker on a Saturday nightChurch on Sunday morningSay a little prayer for me Boondocks

Life ain't always what it seems to be Words can't express what you mean to me Even though you're gone We still a team Through your family I'll fulfill your dreams In the future can't wait to see If you'll open up the gates for me Reminisce sometime The night they took my friend Try to black it out but it plays again When it's weird feelin' hard to conceal Can't imagine all the pain I feel Give anything to hear half your breath I know you still livin' your life after death CHORUS: Every step I take Every move I make Every single day Every time I pray I'll be missing you Thinking of the day When you went away What a life to take What a bond to break I'll be missing you It's kinda hard with you not around Know you're in heaven smilin' down Watchin' us while we pray for you Everyday we pray for you Till the day we meet again In my heart is where I'll keep you friend Memories give me the strength I need to proceed Strength I need to believe My thoughts,Big, I just can't define Wish I could turn back the hands of time Us in the 6 Shop for new clothes and kicks You and me taking flicks Making hits stages they receive you on Still can't believe you're gone Give anything to hear half your breath I know you still livin' your life after death CHORUS Somebody tell me why One black morning When this life is over I know I'll see your face CHORUS I’ll Be Missing You
