In the backyard
In the garden
You were always there
Digging down where roots would burrow underneath
Now the grass is always overgrown
And the weeds are choking out the sun
Pretty soon they'll come under the door
And you don't care
In the backyard
Since last summer
Almost nothing left
Just some pieces of the roots that once dug in
And the grass is always overgrown
And the weeds are choking out the sun
Why do you still come home anymore

It's been too long
Don't think I've seen you smile at me for quite a while
And we're too busy doing things
We haven't noticed what's missing
Where's the fun we used to have?
My childish ways and your sarcasm
Silly jokes and fairy tales
Where did we leave them?
Lost in the backyard
Your lasso my tiara
My wand, your plastic bazooka
Why can't we be how we were
In the backyard
Your cowboy hat, my tutu
You hide and seek, I catch you
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard
Simple days of hand in hand
And drawing our names in the sand
Somehow life just complicates
Our buried treasure it just waits
Lost in the backyard
You can still meet me in the garden
You and I and hide behind the rosebed
You and I
You and I

Down Hearted man where do you come from
You're troubled by the world and your situation
How can you justify what's so clear in your eyes
The operator is gone
Through all your contemplation you still don't understand
That the plight of your life was built by your own hands
How can you navigate the maze in your medicated haze
While the operator is gone
[Chorus:]
You've got the cure for your disease growing in your backyard, whoa
You've got the answers that you need right up in your backyard, whoa
Downtrodden man how do you feel right
You complicate it through your western made sight
How can you justify what's so clear in your eyes
That you don't wanna go on
Through all your contemplation you haven't found a way
To your own salvation the start of a new day
I know you feel the pain as you walk alone
And you just wanna go home
[Chorus]
So Think of your true self, break it down
Remember there's still hope that can be found
Hold on to the dream that once was so clear
And let go of your fear
Realize that this is one train you can't get off
Your dependency grows as your mind gets soft
Unlock the doors and let your soul back in
And wake up wake up wake up
[Chorus]
You got the cure, you got the cure, you got the cure,
You got the cure, you got the cure, you got the cure

Oh what a sight to be seen, I left my wits back up in a tree,
Where I used to climb before I was a teen.
Next to an old woman’s cat and a young man’s dreams
And we’re all waiting for them to fall into our hands.
Will we learn to climb or keep standing at the base, shouting our demands?
And no one is listening yet we scream, “let us have our own lives back.”
There’s something I’ve been missing and I would love to ask:
Do you ever feel ashamed enough to say,
That this life we live is flying us first class to an early grave?
And do you ever find your own reality above your head swaying in the breeze?
Our voices shake the trunk we stand in front of but it never breaks.
Gravity is holding us down and it’s raising the stakes for me.
And we’re all waiting for our lives to fall back into our hands.
Will we learn to climb or keep standing at the base, singing?
Do you ever feel ashamed enough to say,
That this life we life live is flying us first class to an early grave?
And will I find my own reality right where I want it to be?
We climbed so far,
We got what we came for.
And in the end,

Give me the strength
To carry through
Give me the breath
To do what I got to do
Give me the strength
To carry through
Give me the breath
To do what I got to do
I understand that the world is bigger
Than I ever thought possible
I recognize my action knock on you
Even if I've never met you
I don't have to see you to know you exist
I don't have to meet you to feel your suffering
Want to make a difference don't know where to start
Well it ain't in oblivion
You're not at the bottom
You're not at the top
You're just part of something bigger than all of us
Collectively we choose, what
Give me the strength
To carry through
Give me the breath
To do what I got to do
Give me the strength
To carry through
Give me the breath
To do what I got to do
There comes a time when all the lights are on
When the time is right to start things off
That's time that you're got to get along
Bare down, bare down
There are times that I can't quite explain
Why it works and why it can't be the same
How it's going to be, the future's not clear to me
And we're stuck in this like everybody else
Trying to find away that doesn't step on toes
I'm happy to get along minding my own
Head down, head down
Give me the strength
To carry through
Give me the breath
To do what I got to do
Give me the strength
To carry through
Give me the breath
To do what I got to do
Oh give me the strength
To carry through
Give me the breath
To do what I got to do
Oh give me the strength
To carry through
Give me the breath

Do you get suspicious?
Watch for the glances?
Don't put your love life in the streets
Do you get suspicious?
Watch for the glances?
You better take it from me
Friends, who needs 'em?
One can't live with 'em, can't live without
Men, can't keep 'em
Not when your good friend is trying to bring you down
Down, down, down
Do you get suspicious when they call you their girlfriend
And you don't know them very well?
Watch for the glances on the side to your boyfriend
Just read the signs, I'm sure you can tell
You see somebody standing in your own backyard
Somebody's trying to steal your man
Don't be a fool and let them get that far
You better stop them while you can
Hold on to your man
Hold, hold
Hold on to him
Hold on
Hold, hold
Trends, they feed 'em
They all jump on it, on whatever is hot
But girlfriends be careful
Because your man might be just what they ain't got, no
You should be cautious if you've found you a good man
Don't put your love life in the streets
There is a shortage of good love from a good man
So watch your back, you better take it from me
You see somebody standing in your own backyard
Somebody's trying to steal your man
They'll try and steal your man
Don't be a fool and let them get that far, no fool
You better stop them while you can
Stop them while you can
Hold, hold
Hold on to him
Hold on
Hold, hold
You better take it from me
Don't be no fool
Yo, you better watch out, she's out to take your guy
And I can see why, he's fly even I
Had my eye on him for a long time
Yo Pep, what? kick that rhyme
Don't be dumb, all the girlie's want some
He's paid, he's not a bum
Know where I'm coming from?
Understand she has a plan
And that's right, she'll take your man
So you better hold on tight
She'll take your man and you know that I'm right
She'll take your man, girls be on your best guard
'Cause she'll take your man, right from your own backyard
Oh, if you see somebody standing in your own backyard
They're out to get your man, girl don't you let them in
Don't you be a fool and let them get that far
So stop them while you can, they've got a master plan
You see somebody standing in your own backyard
Somebody's trying to steal your man
You better take it from me
Don't be a fool and let them get that far, no fool
You better stop them while you can
'Cause when you snooze, you lose
That's when they make their move
So stop them while you can
It's just a matter of time and girl that ain't no lie
They're out to take your man
Hold on to your man
Hold on, hold on, hold on to your man
Hold on, hold on, take it from me
Hold on, hold on, hold on, to your man
Hold on, hold on, can't you see?
Do you get suspicious?
Watch for the glances?
Don't put your love life in the streets
Do you get suspicious?
Watch for the glances?
You better take it from me
Oh, if you see somebody standing in your own backyard
They're out to get your man, girl don't you let them in
Don't you be a fool and let them get that far
So stop them while you can, they've got a master plan
You see somebody standing in your own backyard
Somebody's trying to steal your man
You better take it from me
Don't be a fool and let them get that far, no fool
You better stop them while you can
'Cause when you snooze, you lose
That's when they make their move
So stop them while you can
It's just a matter of time and girl that ain't no lie
They're out to take your man
Hold on to your man
Hold on, hold on, hold on to your man
Hold on, hold on, take it from me

Gonna fix it up, paint it red, gonna make that engine go
Chevrolet, Chevrolet, the Chevy, it ain't running

We were sitting in our backyard,
Waiting for the stars to show.
But the city lights shine too far
On and on the grey skies glow.
Took my bike out on Harvard Street,
Rode up Atlers to Saint Clair,
Started countin' cars surrounding me,
My lungs burstin' for some cleaner air.
It was sadder than the morning doe,
Much funnier than a clown.
But when push comes to shove,
Oh, I still love this town.
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
I was waitin' on the eastbound train,
Headed out to see the suburbs,
When I thought I heard my name.
It was just a crazy lady slurrin' words.
It was sadder than a weepin' willow.
As silly as a dog with a bone.
But when you ask me 'bout it,
I'll still call this my home.
Do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Oh oh
Do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Early mornin' on a Saturday,
The bustle wakes us up in bed.
Construction, trucks, kids in the park at play,
No quiet place to lay our heads.
I was madder than the old hatter,
I was crazy as the Cheshire Cat,
But when we get to the heart of the matter,
This is where I'll hang my hat.
Do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Oh oh
Do do do do
