I got a letter and a picture from a stranger
I want to meet you, let me tell you who your son is
On the block the people walk and talk and greet ya
I want to take you where they said they saw the sun
Why is all the sunlight gone?
Same old story, gone to meet you
Same old story, sonny boy
And they will and he's lost his mind
Oh and I know now the son is mine
Turn your sunlights on!
Saw the photograph they said it's from a stranger
I saw the photograph, they said they want to meet you
I read the message and already went to see them
I took the photograph, it's really good to meet you

You ever been so bored
that you start counting all your teeth
as you squirm around and fidget
in your cluttered, lousy seat
you ever been so tired
that your spirit begins to sigh
and you're working everyday
just to make ends meet.
She's got me hanging on...
You ever wake up in a hotel room
but can't remember the city or state
you look around, you roam around
but your mind just can't relate.
you ever been so lost
that a map won't do you no good
as you drive around in circles in a place or town
or some kind of neighborhood.
She's got me hanging on...
You ever eaten at a taco shop in Carbondale, Illinois
it looks just like home but your stomachs never known
the jolt its about to enjoy
you ever been so desperate
but for what you just don't know
you see a thousand faces
and you want to remember them all.
She's got me hanging on...

I'm on the couch and I'm watching TV
now I know why you had to leave
I'm just a bored suburban punk and I
watch too much trash TV junk
Dear Anna
Understand please if you can
that I've got a short attention span
I know I've got a lot of things to learn
and I've got a lot of bad habits to burn.
Dear Anna
When you're sick and you've had too much
Anna you can come over for lunch
and I'll cut the crusts right off your white bread.
Anna, we could watch the sunset
If it wouldn't interfere with my programs
next year.
Dear Anna

There was a kid named Jim
he always had a big old grin
he was the biggest bully on the block
he combed his hair just right
always looking for a fight
until the day he decided to throw that rock
Billy was the picked on one
one day he found a gun
in the closet of his parents' messy bedroom
he told his best friend Dunn
all about the gun
and said one day he'd have to kill big Jim
Don't mess with Billy 'cause Billy says he's had it
since the fourth grade he's had nothing else but sadness
all the kids in the neighborhood have had it
he's seen their broken dreams
he sees what killing means to them.
One day after school
out popped Mr. Cool
and threw a rock straight at Billy's head.
Billy reached into his bag
showed Jim what he had
pulled the trigger and shot big Jim dead
Don't mess with Billy 'cause Billy says he's had it
since the fourth grade he's had nothing else but sadness
all the kids in the neighborhood have had it
he's seen their broken dreams
he sees what killing means to them.
When the police came to the crime sight
they found Billy with a grin a mile wide
he'd wiped that look right off of Jim's face and put it on his.
The next day Dunn went to the station.
He said, "Billy man you're the reason, that all the kids can come out and play again without big Jim."

Wrap your fingers 'round this now
I've heard things about you
Walking the halls we know so well
No way that could be true
You got a girl, said she's a model
Sounds like you've got big bravado
I'd like it if they'd only tell it like it was
I wouldn't mind, but my mind's making such a fuss!
Am I the only one inside here?
Got a job and you make 800 grand
Selling used Isuzus
If the guy on the stage is your best friend
Am I backstage with you?
You got a girl, said she's a model
Sounds like you've got big bravado
Maybe tomorrow when it's said and done
It's all state of mind
We can make these walls come down
and leave it alone, leave it alone

I have waited for you
Every morning
Self supporting
I deploy and listen for it now
It gets written on your face
And then you go to face it
Let's embrace it
Or erase it now
Liar
I think that something funny
Happened to me
I said
I think that something funny
Happened to me
I said
I think that someone should erase this
Or just face it
This a situation
Understated, complicated
Don't avoid the issue
What's the cause?
It's so written on your face
When you go to face it
Let's embrace it
Or erase it now
I was always holding on
Involving us, recalling
Waiting for that moment to arrive

Eleven O'Clock
Too late for cartoons
I'm going back to bed
There's nothing to do
I've got my dreams on my mind
They seem so real
I'm gonna try and bring 'em back
Cuz they were sik as hell
I was the first in line
I had all kinds of time
All the drags of the world
Were far far behind
I had a peaceful tone
With everyone I know
Didn't have to take a number
Just to get a coffee
Here I go
I'm falling back to sleep
Yesterday morning
I slept until noon
Cuz when I woke up at eight
I wasn't done what I was doin'
I had a dream going on
It seemed so real
So I fell back to sleep
To have another feel
She wore a silky dress
She wore her hair a mess
When the time was right
She didn't make me guess
She had the Maxwell on
It was her favorite song
Not about to get up
To see this moment gone
Here I go
I'm falling back to sleep

He said take me to the sea
That is where I want to be
He said take me to the sea and let
my mother bury me
He was just an orphan child
Grew up in the Cayman Isles
He was just an orphan child that said
He needed to rest awhile
Now I'm swimming in sand
Sinking in vaseline
praying for land
under my feet
under my feet
He sailed upon the ocean winds
The maritime he called his friend
He sailed upon the ocean winds
until he needed the shore again

You can call me fall
I like my cigarettes and alcohol
usually I'm so loaded I don't think
This si the one that's got me tied
this is the one that blows my mind
I've quit the drugs and now I think I'm jinxed
It's all these angles in my mind
keep on taking all my time
I wish they'd just let me be
I've been scared for sometime
about this job I have in line
I think it could be my final feat
Here I go again
I have a feeling this could be the end
now everyone is looking right at me
every stunt I've always met it
I'm the one who deserves the credit
but lately the directors don't agree.
It's all these angles in my mind
keep on taking all my time
I wish they'd just let me be
I've been scared for sometime
about this job I have in line
I think it could be my final feat
I don't know who to turn to
I don't know who to tell
I don't know if I can handle
I don't know if I can show
I keep thinking crazy things
and I don't know what they mean
but for now I guess I'll just have to fake it.
You can call me fall
I like my cigarette and alcohol
I've almost taken everything I could
I'm the one taking all the dives
I'm the one who never dies
but lately I've been wondering if I should
It's all these angles in my mind
keep on taking all my time
I wish they'd just let me be
I've been scared for sometime
about this job I have in line
I think it could be my final feat
I don't know who to turn to
I don't know who to tell
I don't know if I can handle
I don't know if I can show.

I met a girl with awkward moments of beauty
And all her moments in between were too
She's got a smile that takes me elsewhere
She tells me dumb ass jokes
And sings songs out of tune
She's got that so much life
Her spirit fills up a room
She's got a tattoo on the low end
You should see this girl
You should see this girl
She's my sunny eyed girl
You should see this girl
You gotta se her
You should see this girl
She's like diamonds and pearls
You should see this girl
You've gotta see her
I met a girl with awkward kinds of moods
And all her moods in between were cool
She says she likes to keep me on my toes

Policeman smoking pot in the parking lot of a cocktail bar
Rockstar junkie dies of an overdose at 27
We watch it on the tube and listen to it on the radio
The thing that baffles me are the things we cannot see
What we gonna read tommorow?
Something that we see today
Guns and tears and sorrows
What will the headlines read today?
Man of 65 says he's gonna die by the hand of her
Points to a Street woman who's had too much to drink
She chased him into a bank where he screamed call
Nine one one
The thing that baffles me are the things we cannot see
Party winding down
Then a sudden frown
Over a bottle of wine
She said, "That's mine" then a sudden crack
She smashed his face
I guess it can't be seen!
What will the headlines be today?

I got a problem with confrontation
There's too much on my mind
I feel my shoulders getting seriously heavy
And my patience has died
I got alot on my head
And I'm wondering will it ever end
I can taste the tension getting inside me
Felt it now for a week
All the travelling's got me tired and angsty
Need to get me some sleep
I started drinkin' 'bout a quarter to three
I thought it would help with stress
I started thinking about the problems that be
And now my head is a mess

They had a seaside suite on the weekend of the 4th of July
He had a chocolate treat for every tear she cried
Then she fell down by the hand of him
As she fell down
She said, "Here we go again."
And, "It's not my fault this time."
As if it ever was before
He's got her where he wants
In the palm of his hand
He's effortless
In the palm of his hand
She's helpless, but
She feels safe when he's around
But she knows it won't be long
(Until she sees this side of him again.)
She's been down this road a thousand times before
He always seems to come through before she's out the door
But not this time she said, "I'm gonna take my life back from him."

Where is time 'cause you're feeling much older
I'm alive and living with your cold shoulder
You say those days are over,
I say they've just begun!
It's been awhile and I got carried away
You're bored and you've had your fun
Don't say those days are over
Because mine have just begun.
I've seen my little brother
Freaking out and seeing colors
Feeling green with jealousy
I'm seeing red and Olivelawn
All Along
Is it me or is your mind getting hollow?
In need of leading and you need to be my follow
How we were that summer
Instead you seem much older now
Instead you treat me colder now
Where's my friend, I think he's running away
From all the things we've done
Wanna get you back up here
But you're already gone
Heard about the others
They're at home and being lifeless
Forgot to read a magazine
I guess my constitution's strong
All Along
I could be most anything if I could be the one

On a sunny day
I can see forever
On a sunny day
I used to dream for miles
Upon this hill, where we met
Under blue skies
She said goodbye
Left me behind
Now here I am
I should've won a purple heart
I would've got it overseas
I asked her would she be my bride
In my broken Japanese
But when I looked into her eyes
I knew that it could never be
She said goodbye
Left me behind
Now here I am
I should've seen it from the start
Before I went on bended knee
Her tattoo of a headless snake
Is that what she's suppose to be?
But if I had another chance
I wouldn't act so foolishly
She said goodbye
Left me behind
Now here I am

Our systems are all go
No one here's getting pigeon holed
There's a free line to where we go
Where anything is possible
We're alright
Cause we do what we do and we do it every night
All right
Everyone's got opinions of what's right
But we do what is inside
and still the people will decide
But we're free from disease
We're free from your pigeonhole disease
We're gonna do as we please
Cause that's right
I can feel it
We're in the know
Since being jaded by the business world
We don't fit in
We don't want in
But we know we're never gonna break the chain
alright
In looking back, we'd do it all again
But in the future
We're not gonna be labeled victims

two lovers are having their fight again
they're tired of saying good-bye
standing on the beachside
listening to the feet of the passers
on the sidewalk there
don't make me part of your life again
cause i'm tired of saying good-bye
ridding on my skateboard
knocking all the pretty boys in my way
i'm just a round kid
causing mass hysteria
and i know something nobody knows
you ask me if i'm real or not
but what is real or not
am i completely right
or am i just lost and misguided
there is something you ouhta know
what is real or not
that there is nothing wrong
so don't tell me i need any counseling

Not long ago there was a time when everything
would blow my mind.
Then I learn a bit more, it cancelled everything
I learned before.
I say hey (hey), I don't know what I'm doin'.
I should have planned on my class reunion.
I been workin' on my vision and clarity.
This is how it was meant for me.
Well anything is possible.
Anything and everything Anything and everything
Well anything is possible.
Anything and everything Anything and everything
is possible~ is possible to me.
When I was nineteen I thought I'd seen
everything I was gonna see.
Then I see a bit more, it cancelled everything I seen bofore.
I say hey (hey), I thought I knew it all.
I'm settin' up for a hell of fall.
writin' down my philosophy songs, there's one
that still holds strong.
Well anything is possible.
Anything and everything Anything and everything
Well anything is possible.
Anything and everything Anything and everything
is possible~ is possible to me.
With every day that goes by the less and less
I wonder why.
Cause I seen 'em rise and I seen 'em fall.
But I'll never claim to have seen it all.
I say hey (hey), I ain't seen a thing
you never know what tomorrow will bring
I been workin' on my state of mind.
Brace yourself for the ride.
Cause anything is possible.
Well anything is possible.
Anything and everything Anything and everything
Well anything is possible.
Anything and everything Anything and everything
is possible~ is possible ~is possible ~ is possible
to me. to me~~
