Trying to make a train by sunrise gonna have to run a red light Tangling with my Carolina you know the girl kept me up all night And when my Carolina throw down you know the girl knows how to fight Don't think we're gonna make it there's nothing else that anyone can do Don't think we're gonna make it there's nothing else that anyone can say Almost got the feeling that Carolina's liking it that way I'm waiting on the train man, to wait and take the pain away All aboard All aboard Wait for me Wait for me Train man kept his promise gonna try and go on back to bed Train man kept his promise gonna try and go on back to bed Can't sleep anyway thinking 'bout what my Carolina said And oh my Carolina running like a freight train through my head |

And if my two left feet could settle down and split the difference
Tripping over myself in every way that I know how Perhaps in time I could surpass my coy facade of vast indifference But I've already reached the maximum of what my law allows You tell me to relax you tell me Not to try so hard But in the end it only makes me want to more To figure out some way to play some major part So I watch her move and I watch her work Satisfy my voyeuristic quirk Old habits they are hard to break Just harder than it is to take And when she looks away I tap my feet I try my best to be discreet Careful so she won't find out How much I want to shout Come on and dance with me Felicia And show me how to do that step I never thought I could You always move so gracefully And I was never any good But maybe if you'll dance with me I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah Felicia The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me Come on Felicia set me free And when you start to close your eyes You know you move so beautifully I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia I suppose the thing that gets me most is that if I'd bothered ever I wouldn't feel so much like Casey who never got to bat You cannot help but laugh at me singing better late than never And more and more I realize I have no argument for that I can almost work up the nerve for a declaration I can almost hear me speak the words as I gain resolve But then you move and you twirl and you smile at me And my inhibition and my courage both dissolve And so I'm standing there and I do not move In spite of her momentous groove And for a moment I can barely see A glimpse of how good it could be And then I must admit that I want to try To look Felicia in the eye And when the music starts to play To smile at her and say Come on and dance with me Felicia And show me how to do that step I never thought I could You always move so gracefully And I was never any good But maybe if you'll dance with me I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah Felicia The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me Come on Felicia set me free And when you start to close your eyes You know you move so beautifully I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia And so I'm standing there and I do not move In spite of her momentous groove And for a moment I can barely see A glimpse of how good it could be And then I must admit that I want to try To look Felicia in the eye And when the music starts to play To smile at her and say Come on and dance with me Felicia And show me how to do that step I never thought I could You always move so gracefully And I was never any good But maybe if you'll dance with me I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah Felicia The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me Come on Felicia set me free And when you start to close your eyes You know you move so beautifully I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia I want to dance with you come on and dance with me Felicia Dance with me I want to dance with you Felicia |

Break away Break away
Blinkon and Nod Carelessly with matches play Telling you you're odd Foolishly he lets it burn Aware of different shapes And so he makes his hand a fist And never looks at what he rapes And who am I to say I don't understand it And if feeling better justifies the thrill Who'd be stupid enough to say it doesn't have to be that way I will Sing a song of sixty pence For a pocket full of rye And kill all that he represents To ensure that he will die Chase him from the public square Or hang him from a tree And tell his kind they best beware Because he's different from me And who am I to say I don't understand it And if feeling better justifies the thrill Who'd be stupid enough to say it doesn't have to be that way I will Twinkle Twinkle little star We have you in our sights Dangerous, we come this far The serpent giggles with delight The pigs head on a stick does grin As we teeter on the brink He's singing you are all my children My islands bigger than you think And who am I to say I don't understand it And if feeling better justifies the thrill Who'd be stupid enough to say it doesn't have to be that way I will I will I will I will |

Autumn air it carries me there
Less than an hour to go Six hundred miles an hour And still it feels so slow I'm trying to get back to Burlington To a square in the center of town To a spot on a wooden table Where her feet didn't reach the ground And shen she kisses me it tasted like cinnamon And her skin smells of cider and rose And when she looked at me we both got quiet And my heart beats so hard we were in so close Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile And she called me her ugly American And I would call her my Canadian flower And I don't think that we'll ever get there again We had such power And she would call me her ugly American And I'll remember my Canadian rose Especially when the fall comes to Burlington We were in so close I finally made it this town looks rearranged I don't know these people anymore But in the best ways not much else has changed From the way it was before And at least they still have this certain table Where I once carved a particular name I run my finger through the weathered carving And I almost can feel the same And my mouth it almost tastes just like cinnamon As I ponder what my pilgrimage means And I try to figure out where Vancouver is from here And I listen to the leaves If only for a beautiful while that still makes me smile And she called me her ugly American And I would call her my Canadian flower And I don't think that we'll ever get there again We had such power And she would call me her ugly American And I'll remember my Canadian rose Especially when the fall comes to Burlington We were in so close And every single hope and dream I could ever conjure up Passionately springs in me and all things are possible Plausible and perfectly both of ours forever after and every day At least it seemed that way Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile And she called me her ugly American And I would call her my Canadian flower And I don't think that we'll ever get there again We had such power And she would call me her ugly American And I'll remember my Canadian rose Especially when the fall comes to Burlington We were in so close |

You, with your hand outstretched
Finger on the key This lock that you release Is opening but isn't free And I hope that you can see How it beats inside of me Instead of pushing fear aside I want to run I want to hide I am vulnerably yours She, who is wanting me Whose touch can make me cry I can only understand By never asking her why Hear the contradictions fly And as hard as I may try Every truth becomes a lie In the ache of her reply I am passionately... Yours And the saddest eyes are Yours And the softest skin is Yours And the hope I borrow is Yours So won't you let me in I'm yours All that I begin is yours Every prize I win is yours At your feet again I'm yours All I am is yours All I am is wanting you I've fallen down and I can't seem to come to If I should die before I wake I commend my soul into this ache Up above the world so high Where the water tends to meet the sky She's all I'm after by the toe And I won't let go... And I wanted you to know That if you reap what you would sew I would take it blow by blow All I am is... Yours And the saddest eyes are Yours And the softest skin is Yours And the hope I borrow is Yours So won't you let me in I'm yours All that I begin is yours Every prize I win is yours At your feet again I'm yours All I am is yours Yours |

He took a rifle And killed a disciple So that those nagging thoughts would leave him in peace He'd drown a puppy Or shive-shank a yuppie Just to make the voices cease Goes on a bender Then he surrenders Taken into custody So satisfying I would be lying If I didn't want to hear the plea And so we gather round Psycho Joe The quiet loners always blow Strap him in the chair And killing bad guys is such fun Too bad we only captured one Are there any more out there Are there any more out there And in the weirdest way it sets him free He's finally rid of you and me Joe and his electric chair He worshiped Satan And liked Iron Maiden And now he's in the cold cold ground For more exciting Staging and lighting We waited till the sun went down Killed someone's daughter With the chain that they bought her What's a daddy gonna do But the most annoyed Were the talk show tabloid Because they couldn't get an interview And so we gather round Psycho Joe The quiet loners always blow Strap him in the chair And killing bad guys is such fun Too bad we only captured one Are there any more out there Are there any more out there Any more out there? You've got your heroes Ceasars and Neros Men of infamy and fame Now we've got Jo Jo Have we sunk so low Guess I've got myself to blame An eye for an eye Won't get you by Good book says that it's a sin But the ratings war Says that if we kill more Psychopaths then we will win And so we gather round Psycho Joe The quiet loners always blow Strap him in the chair And killing bad guys is such fun Too bad we only captured one Are there any more out there Are there any more out there And in the weirdest way it sets him free He's finally rid of you and me Joe and his electric, Joe and his electric Joe and his electrical chair |

Well I love no one and I don't care who knows
Don't care if you're far away Don't give a damn if you're close I'm the vacant distraction of a broken old man I lack shape or color Not even gray or even tan I'd hate all I see but it makes me too tired I'm much more at home when left uninspired So damn me to hell and resist if you must But lower your eyes once and I'll emerge from the dust For I am nothing Yes I am nothing Yes I am nothing And I love no one Well I love everyone I am filled with delight I understand all your feelings I don't see from wrong or right I'm the look in your eyes when you're telling the truth I'm the wisdom of age and the beauty of youth I am shape substance color darkest black palest white Speckled gond ringing mirror sharp soft and bright I'm rage passion laughter and the need to know why Come sample all my riches I'm pure stimuli For I am everything Yes I am everything Yes I am everything And I love everyone Well I can only love someone I am just a person My father loved my mother and I am her son The preceding verses are the halves of my soul I'm just the battlefield and that is my role There's a tug of war between what I can and can't feel The inevitable compromise determines the real The equation the reason for my being here The struggle resulting in my invention of the tear For I'm only something Yes I'm only something Yes I'm only something And I can only love someone And it's the best I can do It's the very best I can do You're probably someone too So perhaps I love you Perhaps you'll love me too Perhaps you'll love me too Perhaps you'll love me too (scat solo) |

Don't you give up don't allow disaster
Don't you give up don't you let her win We're talking about a "forever after" Don't you give up don't you dare give in Don't you give up don't you dare give in Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like a big mistake Please understand and hear what I'm saying The time is now and you don't have long She could be oceans away tomorrow So soon your chance will have come and gone So soon your chance will have come and gone Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like a big mistake The tight-wires strung and you're out in the middle All eyes upon you no net below Inches to go and you're almost home free Feel the wires swaying to and fro Feel the wires swaying to and fro Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like it would be a damn shame Would be forever if it meant a day How stoically I exclaim As she turns from me and walks away The light in her eyes explanation escapes you Longing to please and not feel alone And she doesn't know it but really she loves you Some day so soon you're gonna make it home Some day so soon you're gonna make it home Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like a big mistake Doesn't it seem most precarious Doesn't it seem such a chance to take Doesn't it seem most precarious Why does it feel like a big mistake |

I'm taken aback
But still I let it ride No sudden movements I ease my hand real slow Then my hands are like lightning And the bullets start to fly I was almost in the clear too With just inches left to go And if it's the fool who likes to rush in And if it's the angel who never does try And if it's me who will lose or win Then I'll make my best guess and I won't care why C'mon and get me you twist of fate I'm standing right here Mr. Destiny If you want to talk well then I'll relate If you don't so what cause you don't scare me Time comes when I'm older And a new kid hits the street They'll say he's fast and he looks for me And he says I'm going down And though I try to avoid this man Eventually we'll meet He draws faster than I can see and knocks me to the ground And if it's the fool who likes to rush in And if it's the angel who never does try And if it's me who will lose or win Then I'll make my best guess and I won't care why C'mon and get me you twist of fate I'm standing right here Mr. Destiny If you want to talk well then I'll relate If you don't so what cause you don't scare me So I'm lying in the street there And the lights are getting dim Preacher man comes and tells me Repent it's time to pray You only have to lose once But you never always win I smile at him with my last words And this is what I'll say Well if it's the fool who likes to rush in And if it's the angel who never does try And if it's me who will lose or win Then I'll make my best guess and I won't care why C'mon and get me you twist of fate I'm standing right here Mr. Destiny If you want to talk well then I'll relate If you don't so what cause you don't scare me C'mon and get me you twist of fate I'm standing right here Mr. Destiny If you want to talk well then I'll relate If you don't so what cause you don't scare me |

It's the part of the dream that leaves me when the sunlight hits my eyes
It's the part of the dream that rolls me over and over as I sleep It's the part of the dream that leaves me wanting for the darkness It's the part of the dream I can't remember it at all I dreamed about you last night I dreamed about you last night I dreamed about you last night Last night I dreamed Last night Last night Something about a big jet plane moving fast off into the sunset Maybe a mustang moving fast up to the sky Mor like a great big boat drifting off to nowhere I know that in the end you were waiting on the other side I dreamed about you last night I dreamed about you last night I dreamed about you last night Last night I dreamed Last night Last night I can feel the dream long before it makes my mind I know the dream like the scent of the evening air I need the dream to keep me safe until the morning When I open my eyes you're there I dreamed about you last night I dreamed about you last night I dreamed about you last night Last night I dreamed I dreamed about you last night I dreamed about you last night I dreamed about you last night Last night I dreamed |

When you roll down your window
And ask for directions Can you count on the answers That you would receive If you've ever been taken By that passed along pay back Why ask in the first place you might not believe But I won't be confined to road maps Or let assholes decide And I'd rather be lost Then afraid to take a ride And if it's a sing No place on earth will I ever fit in And I don't mind Someday I pray I just may As I make my way Well I might have been helpful Or a mischievous bastard But when I'm thinking about it I do what I can In the infinite halfway Where everyone always meets me And by the laws of pure error Do we exchange and understand I'm yelling as loudly As my lungs will allow I wish I could whisper Can you hear me now And if it's a sing No place on earth will I ever fit in And I don't mind Someday I pray I just may As I make my way Could be no one has the meaning Of what anybody says But so we don't feel so lonely We decide that we do Well now we might be speaking English But what does that mean And can you honestly tell me What color is blue Well you could try an explanation Or try to wonder why But if I'm lost in your driveway All I really can do is try And if it's a sing No place on earth will I ever fit in And I don't mind I've looked and searched her over countless times And I'll do it again Someday I may finally want to stay Someday I pray I just may As I make my way As I make my way As I make my way... |
