When your mind is a mess
so is mine I cant sleep cause it hurts when I think My thoughts aren't at peace with the plans that we make chances we take they're, not yours and not mine there's waves that can break all the words that we said and the words that we mean words can fall short can't see the unseen cause the world is awake for somebody's sake now please close your eyes woman please get some sleep And know that if I knew all of the answers I would not hold them from you'd know all of the things that i'd know we told each other, there is no other way Well too much silence can be misleading You're drifting I can hear it in the way that your breathing We don't really need to find reason Cause out the same door that it came well its leaving its leaving Leaving like a day thats done and part of a season Resolve is just a concept that's as dead as the leaves But at least we can sleep, its all that we need When we wake we will find Our minds will be free to go to sleep And know that if I knew all of the answers I would not hold them from you'd know all of the things that i'd know 'cause we told each other, there is no other way |

I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around And, see what there is to see And time is just a melody All the people in the street Walk as fast as their feet can take them I just roam through town And though my windows got a view The frame i'm looking through Seems to have no concern for me now So for now I need this here Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown This engine screams out loud Sayin the beat gunna crawl westbound So I don't even make a sound Cause it's gunna sting me when I leave this town All the people in the street That i`ll never get to meet If these don't bend somehow And I got no time That I got to get to Where I don't need to be So I I need this here Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown I need this here Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown I wanna break on down But I can't stop now Let me break on down But you can't stop nothing If you got no control Of the thoughts in your mind That you kept in, you know You don't know nothing But you don't need to know The wisdoms in the trees Not the glass windows You can't stop wishing If you dont let go But things that you find And you lose, and you know You keep on rolling Put the moment on hold The frames too bright So put the blinds down low I need this here Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown I need this here Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown I wanna break on down But I can't stop now |

There is no combination
of words I could put on the back of a postcard And no song that I could sing but I can try for your heart Our dreams and they are made out of real things Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia tone loving Love is the answer At least for most of the questions in my heart Why are we here and where do we go And how come it's so hard It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving I'll tell you one thing It's always better when we're together Mmm it's always better when we're together Yeah we'll look at the stars when we're together Well it's always better when we're together Yeah it's always better when we're together And all of these moments just might find a way into my dreams tonight But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see That they'll be gone too too many things I have to do But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between With only two just me and you not so many things we got to do Or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now Yeah it's always better when we're together Mmm we're somewhere in between together Well it's always better when we're together Yeah it's always better when we're together I believe in memories they look so so pretty when I sleep And I when And when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me But there is not enough time And there is no no song I could sing And there is no combination of words I could say But I will still tell you one thing We're better together |

It’s really too bad
He became a prisoner of his own past He stabbed the moment in the back with the round thumbtack That held up the list of things he got to do It’s really no good He’s moving on before he understood He shot the future in the foot with every step he took From the places that he’s been because he forgot to look He better staple it together and call it bad weather Well I guess you could say That he don’t even know where to begin Because he looked both ways but he was so afraid Digging deep into the ditch every chance he missed And the mess he made Because hate is such a strong word And every brick he laid, a mistake they say That his walls are getting taller, and his world is getting smaller Better staple it together and call it bad weather It’s really too bad He became a prisoner of his own past He stabbed the moment in the back with the round thumbtack That held up the list of things he got to do It’s really no good He’s moving on before he understood He shot the future in the foot with every step he took From the places that he’s been because he forgot to look Better staple it together and call it bad weather If the weather gets better we should get together Spend a little time or we could do whatever And if we get together we’d be twice as clever So staple it together and call it bad weather |

Who's to say
What's impossible Well they forgot This world keeps spinning And with each new day I can feel a change in everything And as the surface breaks reflections fade But in some ways they remain the same And as my mind begins to spread its wings There's no stopping curiosity I want to turn the whole thing upside down I'll find the things they say just can't be found I'll share this love I find with everyone We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs I don't want this feeling to go away Who's to say I can't do everything Well I can try And as I roll along I begin to find Things aren't always just what they seem I want to turn the whole thing upside down I'll find the things they say just can't be found I'll share this love I find with everyone We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and Upside down Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found I don't want this feeling to go away Please don't go away Please don't go away Please don't go away Is this how it's supposed to be Is this how it's supposed to be |

With everything ahead of us
We left everything behind But nothing that we needed At least not at this time And now the feeling that I'm feeling Well it's feeling like my life is finally mine With nothing to go back to we just continue to drive Without you I was broken But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side I didn't know what I was looking for So I didn't know what I'd find I didn't know what I was missing I guess you've been just a little too kind And if I find just what I need I'll put a little peace in my mind Maybe you've been looking too Or maybe you don't even need to try Without you I was broken But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side With everything in the past Fading faster and faster until it was gone Found out I was losing so much more than I knew all along Because everything I've been working for Was only worth nickels and dimes But if I had a minute for every hour that I've wasted I'd be rich in time, I'd be doing fine Without you I was broken But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side |

And I'll wait here a while
Just long enough to be sure That you didn't make a wrong turn And I'll wait long enough Maybe an hour or two Before I decide it wasn't me, it was you It wasn't me it was you And I would like you to know Although it seems sad to say This was only the worst hour of my day The worst hour of my day How long has it been on your mind? Do you think about it when we laugh? I think that it's a big mistake Because I think that we could make it last Even if it's just for a while And I'll wait here for now Just long enough to be sure That you really want to go through with this Because I don't really want to go through with this Do you really want to go through with this? |

Is about last night when the sun went down And the trees all dance And the warm wind blows in that same old sound And the water below gives a gift to the sky And the clouds give back every time they cry And make the grass grow green beneath my toes And if the sun comes out I'll paint a picture all about The colors I've been dreaming of The hours just don't seem enough To put it all together Maybe it's as strange as it seems And the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me It's a part of my mind it begins with a dream And a feeling I get when I look and I see That this world is a puzzle, I'll find all of the pieces And put it all together, and then I'll rearrange it I'll follow it forever Always be as strange as it seems Nobody ever told me not to try And the water below gives a gift to the sky And the clouds give back every time they cry And make the grass grow green beneath my toes And if the sun comes out I'm going to paint a picture all about The colors I've been dreaming of The hours just don't seem enough To put it all together Always be as strange as it seems |

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell Brand new shoes, walking blues Climb the fence, books and pens I can tell that we are going to be friends Yes I can tell that we are going to be friends Walk with me Suzy Lee Through the park and by the tree We can rest upon the ground And look at all the bugs we've found Safely walk to school without a sound We safely walk to school without a sound Well here we are no one else We walk to school all by ourselves There's dirt on our uniforms From chasing all the ants and worms We clean up and now it's time to learn We clean up and now it's time to learn Numbers letters learn to spell Nouns and books and show and tell Play time we will throw the ball Then back to class through the hall The teacher marks our height against the wall The teacher marks our height against the wall And we don't notice any time pass Because we don't notice anything And we sit side by side in every class The teacher thinks that I sound funny But she likes it when you sing Tonight I'll dream in my bed While silly thoughts run through my head Of the bugs and alphabet And when I wake tomorrow I'll bet That you and I will walk together again Because I can tell that we are going to be friends I can tell that we are going to be friends |

So when you're so lonely lying in bed Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head Everyone's sleeping all through the house You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow Sing this lullaby to yourself Sing this lullaby to yourself Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby Sing this lullaby to yourself |

Impressions, you've made impressions They're going nowhere They're just going to wait here if you let them Please don't let them I want to know you And if they're going to haunt me Please collect them Please just collect them And now I'm begging I'm begging you to ask me just one question One simple question Because then you'd know me I'll tell you that there's time To make this work for all intents and purposes At least for my own What is a heart worth if it's just left all alone?

you now that hope will make you strange make you blink make you blank make you sink it will make you afraid of change and often blame the box with the view of the world and the ones that fill the frame i turn it up then i turn it off because i can't stand when they start to talk about the hurting and killing whose shoes are we filling the damage and ruin man the things that we're doing we gotta stop, we gotta turn it all off we gotta rewind and start it up again because we fell across the fall line ain't there nothing sacred any more somebody saw him jump but nobody saw him slip i guess he lost a lot of hope and then he lost his grip now he's lying in the freeway in the middle of this mess guess we lost another one optimistic hypocrite that didn't habe the nerve to quit the things that kept him wanting more until he finally reached the core he fell across the fall line ain't there nothing sacred any more |

that you believed in superstitions then maybe you'd see the signs But Lord knows that this world is cruel and I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool and in loving somebody don't make them love you Must I always be waiting waiting on you? Must I always be playing playing the fool? I sing ya songs I dance a dance I gave ya friends all a chance putting up with them wasn't worth never having you and maybe you been through this before but its my first time so please ignore the next few lines cause they're directed at you I cant always be waiting waiting on you I cant always be playing playing your fool I keep playing your cards but its not my scene wont this plot not twist? I have no place to read? Keep building me up, then shooting me down well im already down Just wait a minute Just sitting waiting Just wait a minute Just sitting waiting Well if I was in your position Id put down all my ammunition I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long But Lord knows that I'm not you and If I was I wouldn't be so cruel cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do Must I always be waiting waiting on you? Must I always be playing playing the fool? No I cant always be waiting waiting on you I cant always be playing playing your fool, foool |

And raise and nurture, But there not from time to... Times like these, Times like those, What will be will be, And so it goes... And there's always been stop and go, And fast and slow, And action, reaction, Sticks and stones And broken bones, Those for peace and those for war, God bless these ones, not those ones, but these ones... Man... Times like these, Times like those, What will be will be, And so it goes... And it always goes On and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on it goes... Mmmmm....mmmmmm... |

The horizon has been defeated
By the pirates of the new age Alien casinos Well maybe it's just time to say Things can go bad And make you want to run away But as we grow older The trouble just seems to stay Future complications In the strings between the cans But no prints can come from fingers If machines become our hands And then our feet become the wheels And then the wheels become the cars And then the rigs begin to drill Until the drilling goes too far Things can go bad And make you want to run away But as we grow older The horizon begins to fade, fade, fade Fade away Tthingamajigsaw puzzled Anger don't you step too close Because people are lonely and only Animals with fancy shoes Hallelujah zig zag nothing Misery it's on the loose Because people are lonely and only Animals with too many tools That can build all the junk that we sell Aw sometime man makes you want to yell Things can go bad And make you want to run away But as we grow older The horizon begins to fade away Fade Away Fade, fade, fade Fade, fade, fade |

There's traffic in the sky
and it doesn't seem to be getting much better there's kids playing games on the pavement drawing waves on the pavement shadows of the planes on the pavement it's enough to make me cry but that don't seem like it would make it feel better maybe it's a dream and if I scream it will burst at the seams this whole place will fall into pieces and then they'd say... Well how could I have known? I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell if you keep adding stones soon the water will be lost in the well Puzzle pieces in the ground But no one ever seems to be digging instead they're looking up towards the heavens it's enough to make me cry but that don't seem like it would make it feel better the answers could be found we could learn from digging down but no one ever seems to be digging instead they'll say... Well how could I have known? I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell if you keep adding stones soon the water will be lost in the well Words of wisdom all around but no one ever seems to listen they're talking about their plans on the paper building up frm the pabement there are shadows from the skyscrapers on the pavement it's enough to make me sigh but that don't seem like it would make it feel better the words are all around but the words are only sounds and no on ever seems to listen instead they'll say... Well how could I have known? I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell if you keep adding stones soon the water will be lost in the well |

They say Taylor was a good girl,
never one to be late complain, express ideas in her brain. Working on the night shift, passing out the tickets, You're gonna have to pay her if you want to park here. Well mommy's little dancer is quite a little secret Working on the streets now, never gonna keep it. It's quite an imposition and now she's only wishin That she would have listened to the words they said...Poor Taylor. She just wanders around, unaffected by, the winter winds here, she'll pretend that She's somwhere else, so far and clear about two thousand miles, from here. - 간 주 중 - Well Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window, the sunny silhouette won't let him in. Poor old Pete's got nothing cuz he's been falling, And somehow sunny knows just where he's been. He thinks that singin on Sunday's gonna save his soul, now that Saturday's gone. And sometimes he thinks that he's on his way, but i can see, that his brake lights are on. He just wanders around, unaffected by, the winter winds here, and he'll pretend that, he's somewhere else, so far and clear, about two thousand miles...from here - 간 주 중 - Such a tough enchilada, filled up with nada, givin what you gotta give to get a dollar bill. Used to be a limber chicken, times have been a ticking, now she's finger lickin to the man, With the money in his pocket, flying in his rocket, only stopping by on his way to a better world. If Taylor finds a better world, then Taylor's gonna run away. |

Well look at all those fancy clothes
But these could keep us warm Just like those. And what about your soul Is it cold Is it straight from the mold And ready to be sold. And cars and phones and diamond rings Bling, bling Those are only removable things And what about your mind Does it shine Or are there things that concern you more Than your time Gone going Gone everything Gone give a damn Gone be the birds when they dont want to sing Gone people All awkward with their things Gone Well look at you out to make a deal You try to be appealing but you lose youre appeal And what about those shoes youre in today Theyll do no good All the bridges you burnt a long the way Youre willing to sell anything Gone with your herd Leave your footprints And well shame them with our words Gone people All careless and consumed Gone Gone going Gone everything Gone give a damn Gone be the birds when they dont want to sing Gone people All awkward with their things Gone |

The air was more than human
And the geat was more than hungry And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes The bulls were running wild Because their big and mean and sacred And the children were playing cricket with no shoes The next morning we woke a man with a seven hour drive Well there we were stuck in port Blaire Where boats break and children stare And there were so many fewer questions When stars were still just the holes to heaven Mmhmm And there were so many fewer questions When stars were still just the holes to heaven Mmhmm Officials work while friendly Once we drown them with our sweet talk And we bribe them with our cigarettes and booze Disembarking from the port With no mistakes of any sort Moving soundly engine running smooth The next morning we woke a man with the sunrese to the right Moving back north to port Blaire Where boats break and children stare And there were so many fewer questions When stars were still just the holes to heaven Mmhmm Yes and there were so many fewer questions When stars were still just the holes to heaven Mmhmm |

you now that hope will make you strange make you blink make you blank make you sink it will make you afraid of change and often blame the box with the view of the world and the ones that fill the frame i turn it up then i turn it off because i can't stand when they start to talk about the hurting and killing whose shoes are we filling the damage and ruin man the things that we're doing we gotta stop, we gotta turn it all off we gotta rewind and start it up again because we fell across the fall line ain't there nothing sacred any more somebody saw him jump but nobody saw him slip i guess he lost a lot of hope and then he lost his grip now he's lying in the freeway in the middle of this mess guess we lost another one optimistic hypocrite that didn't habe the nerve to quit the things that kept him wanting more until he finally reached the core he fell across the fall line ain't there nothing sacred any more |

I would turn on the TV, but it's so embarrassing
To see all the other people, I don't know what they mean And it was magic at first, when they spoke without sound But now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn that thing down, turn it around "It wasn't me", says the boy with the gun "Sure I pulled the trigger, but it needed to be done Because life's been killing me ever since it begun You can't blame me because I'm too young" "You can't blame me, sure the killer was my son But I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun It's the killing on this TV screen You can't blame me, its those images he seen" "You can't blame me", says the media man "I wasn't the one who came up with the plan I just point my camera at what the people want to see It's a two way mirror and you can't blame me" "You can't blame me", says the singer of the song Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on "It's only entertainment and as anyone can see It's smoke machines and makeup, you can't fool me" It was you, it was me, it was every man We've all got the blood on our hands We only receive what we demand And if we want hell then hell's what we'll have I would turn on the TV, but it's so embarrassing To see all the other people, don't know what they mean And it was magic at first, but let everyone down And now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn it around |

Is about last night when the sun went down And the trees all dance And the warm wind blows in that same old sound And the water below gives a gift to the sky And the clouds give back every time they cry And make the grass grow green beneath my toes And if the sun comes out I'll paint a picture all about The colors I've been dreaming of The hours just don't seem enough To put it all together Maybe it's as strange as it seems And the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me It's a part of my mind it begins with a dream And a feeling I get when I look and I see That this world is a puzzle, I'll find all of the pieces And put it all together, and then I'll rearrange it I'll follow it forever Always be as strange as it seems Nobody ever told me not to try And the water below gives a gift to the sky And the clouds give back every time they cry And make the grass grow green beneath my toes And if the sun comes out I'm going to paint a picture all about The colors I've been dreaming of The hours just don't seem enough To put it all together Always be as strange as it seems |

Must I always be playing playing the fool? I sing ya songs I dance a dance I gave ya friends all a chance putting up with them wasn't worth never having you and maybe you been through this before but its my first time so please ignore the next few lines cause they're directed at you I cant always be waiting waiting on you I cant always be playing playing your fool I keep playing your cards but its not my scene wont this plot not twist? I have no place to read? Keep building me up, then shooting me down well im already down Just wait a minute Just sitting waiting Just wait a minute Just sitting waiting Well if I was in your position Id put down all my ammunition I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long But Lord knows that I'm not you and If I was I wouldn't be so cruel cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do Must I always be waiting waiting on you? Must I always be playing playing the fool? No I cant always be waiting waiting on you I cant always be playing playing your fool, foool |

Its really too bad he became a prisoner of his own past he stabbed a moment in the back with a brown thumb tack that held up the list of things he gotta do Its really, no good he's moving on before he understood he shot the future in the foot with every step it took from the faces that he knew cause he forgot to look Better staple it together and call it bad weather staple it together and call it bad weather mm hmm well I guess you could say that he dont even know where to begin cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid diggin deeper through the ditch with every chance he missed and the mess he made cause hate is such a strong word And every brick he laid a mistake they say That his walls are getting taller his world is getting smaller Better staple it together and call it bad weather staple it together and call it bad weather mm hmm its really too bad he became a prisoner of his own past he stabbed a moment in the back with a brown thumb tack that held up the list of things he gotta do Its really, no good hes moving on before he understood he shot the future in the foot with every step it took from the faces that he knew cause he forgot to look Better staple it together and call it bad weather staple it together and call it bad weather If the weather is better we should get together Spend a little time and we can do whatever and if we get together we'll be twice as clever So, staple it together and call it bad weather, mm hmmm |

Situation Number one its the one that's just begun but evidently its too late Situation Number two its the only chance for you It's controlled by denisons of hate Situation Number three It's the one that no one sees all too often dismissed as fate Situation Number four The one that left you wanting more tantalized you with its bait |

It's such a tired game Will it ever stop How will this all play out Upside out of my mouth By now we should know how to communicate Instead of coming to blows We're on a roll And there ain't no stopping us now We're burning under control Isn't it strange how we're all Burning under the same sun Buy now and save it's a war for peace It's the same old game But do we really want to play We could close our eyes it's still there We could say it's us agaisnt them We could try but nobody wins Gravity has got all hold on us all We could try to put it out But it's a glowing flame Using fear as fuel Burning down our name And it won't take too long Words all burn the same And who are we going to blame now It's such a crying crying crying shame It's such a crying crying crying shame It's such a crying crying crying shame shame shame But now it's beginning to show A number of people are numbers that ain't coming home I could close my eyes it's still there Close my mind be alone I could close my heart and not care But gravity has got a hold on us all It's a terrific price to pay But in the true sense of the word Are we using what we've learned In the true sense of the word Are we losing what we were It's such a tired game Will it ever stop It's not for me to say Is it in our blood Or is just our fate And how will this all play out Upside out of my mouth Who are we going to blame all in all It's such a crying crying crying shame It's such a crying crying crying shame It's such a crying crying crying shame shame shame |

just in time papa cried, baby cried said your tears are like mine I heard some words from a friend on the phone that didnt sound so good The doctor gave him two weeks to live Id give him more if I could You know that I would now If only I could You know that I would now If only I could Down the middle drops one more grain of sand They say that new life makes losing life easier to understand Words are kind they helped ease the mind of this, my old friend And though you gotta go we'll keep a piece of your soul What goes out What goes in You know that I would now If only I could You know that I would now If only I could |

Do You Remember I sure do It was some time in early September though you were lazy about it you made me wait around I was so crazy about you I didn't mind So I was late for class I looked my bike to yours It wasn't hard to find your painted flowers oh guess that I was afraid That if you rode away you might not roll back my direction real soon Well I was crazy about you then and now the craziest thing of all over 10 years have gone by and your still mine locked in time lets rewind Do you remember when we first moved in together the piano took up the living room You'd play me boogie woogie I played you love songs you'd say we're playing house now you still say we are we build our get away up in a tree we found we felt so far away though we were still in town I remember watching that old tree burn down I took a picture that I don't like to look at Well all these times they come and go Along don't seem so long over 10 years have gone by we cant rewind we're looked in time but your still mine Do you remember? |

The light was leaving in the west it was blue The children's laughter sang and skipping just like the stones they threw the voices echoed across the way its getting late It was just another night with the sun set and the moon rise not so far behind to give us just enough light to lay down underneath the stars listen to papas translations of the stories across the sky we drew our own constellations The west winds often last too long the wind may calm down nothing ever feels the same Sheltered under the Kamani tree waiting for the passing rain clouds keep moving to uncover the scene stars above are chasing the day away to find the stories that we sometimes need Listen close enough all else fades fades away It was just another night with the sun set and the moon rise not so far behind to give us just enough light to lay down underneath the stars listen to all the translations of the stories across the sky we drew our own constellations |

There is no combination
of words I could put on the back of a postcard And no song that I could sing but I can try for your heart Our dreams and they are made out of real things Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia tone loving Love is the answer At least for most of the questions in my heart Why are we here and where do we go And how come it's so hard It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving I'll tell you one thing It's always better when we're together Mmm it's always better when we're together Yeah we'll look at the stars when we're together Well it's always better when we're together Yeah it's always better when we're together And all of these moments just might find a way into my dreams tonight But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see That they'll be gone too too many things I have to do But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between With only two just me and you not so many things we got to do Or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now Yeah it's always better when we're together Mmm we're somewhere in between together Well it's always better when we're together Yeah it's always better when we're together I believe in memories they look so so pretty when I sleep And I when And when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me But there is not enough time And there is no no song I could sing And there is no combination of words I could say But I will still tell you one thing We're better together |

If I had eyes in the back of my head I would have told you that You looked good As I walked away If you could`ve tried to trust the hand that fed You would`ve never been hungry But you never really be The more of this or less of this or is there any difference or are we just holding onto the things we don`t have anymore Sometimes time doesn`t heal No not at all Just stand still While we fall In or out of love again I doubt I`m gonna win you back When you got eyes like that It won`t let me in Always looking out Lot of people spend their time just floating We were victims together but lonely You got hungry eyes that just can`t look forward Can`t give them enough but we just can`t start over Building with bent nails we`re falling but holding, I don`t wanna take up anymore of your time Time time time Sometimes time doesn`t heal No not all Just stand still While we fall In or out of love again I doubt I`m gonna win you back When you got eyes like that It won`t let me in Always looking out Always lookin always looking always looking always looking out |

Trouble travels fast When you`re specially designed for crash testing Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon Come on and tell us what you`re trying to prove Because it`s a battle when you dabble in war You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it And send it to somebody who`s pretending to care Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them Over conversations relationships are overrated "I hated everyone" said the sun And so I will cook all your books You`re too good looking and mistooken You could watch it instead From the comfort of your burning beds ...Or you can sleep through the static Who needs sleep when we`ve got love? Who needs keys when we`ve got clubs? Who needs please when we`ve got guns? Who needs peace when we`ve gone above But beyond where we should have gone? We went beyond where we should have gone Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked Waiting for things that never came Shock and awful thing to make somebody think That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops And either you`re weak or you`ll use brut force-feed the truth The truth is we say not as we do We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear Of god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast That`s no way to treat an enemy Well mighty mighty appetite We just eat `em up and keep on driving Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side Mind your manners wave your banners What a wonderful world that this angle can see But who needs to see what we`ve done? Who needs please when we`ve got guns? Who needs keys when we`ve got clubs? Who needs peace when we`ve gone above But beyond where we should have gone? Beyond where we should have gone We went beyond where we should have gone Beyond where we should have gone |

After we spoke I had a dream that I broke The teeth from a mouth of a snake That I choked on the teeth They were mine all along I picked up the pieces when I woke Put them in a boat made of things that I don`t want to see I blew on the sail Watched it drift out to sea The further it drifted the closer it came to me I can`t explain So I took it apart in a billion boxes There was only one thing You might think I`m your enemy But that don`t make you mine And all I have now is above thee I wish that you`d stop trying Oh, please stop lying Stop la la la la la la la La la la la la... The hatred in the box then I locked The strongest one I knew I buried it all, grew a tree without thorns Sat beneath the shade You might think I`m your enemy But that don`t make you mine And all I have now is above thee I wish that you`d stop trying Oh please stop lying Please stop la la la la la la La la la la la...

Lots in Monterrey, men across the bay, right back to my same girl. how can you be so common. the truth is that sometimes you live in the eye of the storm. with everything going on around us. i feel comfort in the sound when you say it will be okay. like a star brighten me to the light of the day. old drums can follow me but not with my same girl. i built two room frames for the pictures that you paint, the lots in monterey, and then across the bay, right back to my same girl |

Your voice is adrift I can't expect it to sing to me As if I was the only one I'll follow you The leaf that's following the sun When will my weight be too much for you? When will these ideas really be my own? Cause this moment keeps on moving We were never meant to hold on This was a scene worth waking up for When I woke up You planted me in my own body Don't know why But somehow it just feels so wrong When you're sad I will be lonely But when you rise again I'll become the sun I will shine down upon you As if you were the only one Your voice is your own, I can't protect it You'll have to sing A verse no one has ever known Don't be afraid Cause no one ever sings alone Your way will never be too much for me Your ideas have always been your own And this moment keeps on moving We were never meant to hold on |

Tied down against the tracks Screamin` in silent black and white You trust us We are such villains We will tell ourselves anything we want to hear If we are willin’ To listen is to learn And too much is what we deserve And how come when we say that we do; we don’t Can pray to anybody you want; we won’t OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH But if were the ones to blame then the fruit It shouldn’t taste so good We were used To think we got nothing to lose We’re losin’ everything but the truth Cause walkin’ straight into a road block, bendin’ Left, it ended Your point of view is chosen by the serpent’s rules With all it’s do’s and don’ts The future’s an empty promise I’m concerned and so tired of waitin’ But we could sell it wooden horses full of nightmares And when they open This all might be composed There’s no goin’ back to the good old days It’s just a favoring and some new light Archaism is a dusty road leadin’ us back to nowhere If we’re the ones to blame then the fruit It shouldn’t taste so good We were used To think we got nothing to lose We’re losin’ everything but the truth Cause walkin’ straight into a road block, endin’ Left, it bended Your point of view is chosen by the serpent’s rules OH OH OH OH How come when we say we do; we don’t How come when we say we will; we won’t How come when we say we do; we don’t How come when we say we will; we won’t |
