I built a time machine
I'm going to see the homecoming queen
Take her to the Christmas dance
Maybe now I'll get in her pants
Whatever
Back with my high school friends
Meeting where the train tracks end
Passing round a skinny joint
Rolling up to Lookout Point
I want to pull it apart and put it back together
I want to relive all my adolescent dreams
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine
Back in my parents' house
Back to the shouting out loud
One day you'll be a man
One day you'll understand
I want to pull it apart and put it back together
I want to relive all my adolescent dreams
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine
Here in the present tense
Nothing is making sense
Waiting for my moment to come
Everything has come undone
I tried to pull it apart and put it back together
No point in living in my adolescent dreams
Inspired by true events on movie screens
I am a one man wrecking machine
Inspired by true events on movie screens

Doesn't it bring you down
So many lights and sounds
Call your mom on the telephone
Tell her you're coming home
Tell her there's not a chance
You're ever going to change the world
If you want to be free, take a sip of this tea
Join the red oyster cult
If you drink the whole cup, you will never grow up
You will never grow old
Remember when you were 14
You'd paint every picture so green
Call your mom on the telephone
Tell her your muse is gone
Tell her there's not a chance
You're ever going to change the world
Just a few drops away, you'll never want to change the world
If you want to be free, take a sip of this tea
Join the red oyster cult
If you drink the whole cup, you will never grow up
You will never grow old
Call your mom on the telephone
Tell her you're coming home
Tell her there's not a chance you're ever going to change the world
Just a few drops away

5 a.m., March 16
Jesus on the radio
You took a photograph of me
on your yellow bucket seat
Its too high, its too wide
You're so low you don't know
To get through, to go around
So don't look back
There ain't nothing there to see
Was once like you
Can't say I recognize that face
in that picture that you keep
Its too high, its too wide
You're so low you don't know
To get through, to go around

I threw away your greatest hits
You left them here the day you split
Your bass guitar and shaggs CD
Well they don't mean that much to me right now
I'm going through your things
These days, I'm changing all my strings
I'm gonna write you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
>From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?
You won't get too far from me
believing everything you read
You're wasted in the great unknown
and I am getting ready to dispose
of all your vintage clothes
Your drugs and every secret code
I'm gonna write you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
>From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?
>From your red balloon you were
a super high tech jet fighter
Floating over planet earth
Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts
Take this bitter pill
Is it easy to swallow?
I'm gonna write you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
You're never coming down
Are you getting somewhere?

A gaping wound tells the story of it all
A man lost only to find
What was left of his mind?
With no hope of a scar at all
You say, “Go slow”
But something’s right behind me
I can run away for only so long
It will not stop
I will come down
Oh no
Let me find my way
I’ll take you to the edge
Go across that window
And I’ll carry you there
Oh when nothing goes right
Oh when days don’t come tonight
Oh when all I see is the error of my own enemy
A man alone and cut and torn for it
His whole life friend after friend
They’re all a flash in the pan
With no hope of rejoice at all
Let me find my way
(Don’t be scared of what you might be thinking)
I’ll take you to the edge
Go across that window

There we stand about to fly
Peeking down over land
Parachute behind
What was that moment for which we live?
Without a parachute about to dive
I find myself convincing
Blindly falling faster
How easy
Know the place I’m leaving
And the rest just is gone
Oh the adoration
But how much strength does it take
For exploration
For split decision
Or are you stronger to remain
I find myself convincing
Blindly falling faster
How easy
Know the place I’m leaving
And the rest is just gone
It crept up on me
Ignored all my pleas
Begging to leave
No justice to name me
Fell out of the sky
Cease it to be
Without a reply
Gravity fails me
And when I awoke
I knew what was real
Hope to convince you
Lies they all torture me
Opened the door
Knew what was me
I finally realized

I've come down with something
I'm frozen, tied up, cast in lead
It's simple, so says the captain
Face forward, move slow, forge ahead
I'm earning a reputation
My conscience, mistrust and regret
Courageous, just like the captain
Marching forward with no doubt in his head
Onward
Onward
Onward

Yes I heard all that you had to say
That's when it all fell apart
Might be hated, but I can't pretend
I liked you better before
So long, so long, front foot leads the back one
Go on and it won't be too soon
I'm gone, I'm gone and on to the next one
So long, and I won't be back soon
Yes I'm blue, but from holding my breath
Like I have from the start
I'm the villain and I should confess
I liked you better before
So long, so long and on to the next one
Go on and it won't be too soon
I'm gone, I'm gone, bet you saw this one comin?
So long and I won't be back soon
It's hateful to say, see it this way
Don't even know who you are
But in my defense I'd do it again
I don't need to know who you are
So long, so long and on to the next one
Go on and it won't be too soon
You're gone, you're gone, are you waiting for somethin?
Go on cause I won't be back soon
It's hateful to say, see it this way
Don't even know who you are
But in my defense I'd do it again
I don't need to know who you are
So long, so long, front foot leads the back one
Go on and it won't be too soon
You're lost and gone and on to the next one
Don't need to know who you are

Standing on a building
I am a lightning rod
And all these clouds are so familiar
Descending from the mountain tops
The gods are threatening
But I will return an honest soldier
Home...
Steady on this high-rise
Like every lightning rod
And all these clouds are boiling over
Swimming in adrenaline
The sky is caving in
But I will remain the honest soldier

When we all finally washed ashore
It was clear there was no one else around
We declared a national holiday
A chance to build it from the ground
So far away from everyone
and everything starts today
Keep it together
Can we keep it together
We're singing a new song now
and everything starts today
Can we rise? Can we get along all right?
Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in?
And the boats went out at night
and the choppers in the sky
They searched but they could find no trace of us
So far away from everyone
and everything starts today
Keep it together
Can we keep it together
We're singing a new song now
and everything starts today
The thunder struck, the clouds appeared
Our fearless crew was not prepared
and pretty soon the boats came for us
half a million strong
We gathered arms, we fired shells
We build a wall around ourselves
and pretty soon the spirit was a lot like
what it used to be back home
So far away from everyone
and everything starts today
Keep it together
Can we keep it together
We're singing a new song now

I'm awake, you're still sleeping
The sun will rise like yesterday
Everything that we are now
Is everything we can't let go
Or its gone forever, far away
I hope tomorrow is like today
Don't you go away tomorrow
I don't think I could handle that
You're probably dreaming that you're flying on
Then you start to fall
But then you rise
and shine forever
Don't go away

Tonight
Where do we go from here?
The road to Ruby Falls has reached the end
And now we're digging in the sand
They're promising that help is on the way
Love, confession number one
Impossible and sorry
And judge, can you look the other way?
Some things are best unsaid
And now where can we go from here
When all the morning birds have gone away
Two wrongs won't navigate tonight
The afterlife is all in the end
The afterlife is ours in the end
Love, don't look me in the eye
Just wash it all down
And judge, can you let me know the way
We're outta here, straight outta here
Somewhere down buried in the sand
Two birds give out a song
And all of Ruby Falls is singing along
Sing along...
(...gone and turned away (?))

They’ll find it on the stairs
Politely placed it there
Been so unkind without a hint
No warning sign for them
Read my apology
Their hope of disbelief
But no denial changes things
No remedy ahead
I am not to be martyred
I am not to be worshipped
I did it not to be strong, strong, strong
I implicate no others in this crime
I’m off on a rocketship prepared for something new
I’m off on a rok-it-ship ecstatic with the view
I am scared of the things upcoming
And I want for the things I don’t have
Cannot stand to be one of many
I’m not what they are
We'll gather in my name
The morning will begin
It's all or nothing over there
It's teasing me again
I am not to be martyred
I am not to be worshipped
I did it not to be strong, strong, strong
I implicate no others in this crime
I’m off on a rocketship prepared for something new
I’m off on a rok-it-ship ecstatic with the view
I am scared of the things upcoming
And I want for the things I don’t have
Cannot stand to be one of many
I’m not what they are

Ramona, where have you been?
I couldn't go to sleep till you came in
Ramona, you're Miss Oklahoma
and you miss Oklahoma
I'll get you what you want
There were days when a refrain
Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane
When you would sing that song for me
Just like your favorite singer
Why'd you have to be so nice?
A wink and a girlish smile
And why'd you have to punch my eye?
That was something
but I still want you to stay
When I was younger and thought of myself
I never dreamed I'd become like this
A snap of your fingers,
and end to the arguments
Anything for you, love
There were days when a refrain
Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane
When you would sing that song for me
The only one you know
But I know now, not at the start,
We're going to pieces, we're falling apart
So won't you sing that song for me

I will dig a hole
Save my pennies for a rainy day
I will dig a hole
Savin pennies for a rainy day
I'm not scared
I will build a wall
Sensing trouble from a mile away
I will build a wall
Saw it comin from a mile away
I'm not scared
I'm not scared
Try when your inside's out
I don't even try, I know I have seen the best I'll have
I don't even try
I will just play dumb
I won't hear a single word that's said
I will bite my tongue
Never sing another song again
I'm not scared
I'm not scared
Try wearing my insides out
I don't even try, I know I have seen the best I'll have
I don't even try
Never been one to take my chances
I don't even try
Clouds are comin
Air get's heavy
Looks like trouble on a rainy day
Sun starts sinking
Can't see my shadow
Looks like trouble on a rainy day
Holes uncovered
Walls will crumble

If in the morning you look up
Fake a smile and you sigh
Don’t fear the future
In the years to come you’ll learn
I used to sit and watch the pouring rain
I used to wish to be back home again
I hadn’t the strength then
I hadn’t the chance to reveal it
But it’s all in your hands
When do we begin?
Although you’re so sad
Discover things never had
It makes you wonder
A life alone you’ll learn
You’ll learn

Melanie is smilin' at the sky
If it were up to me
I'd give everythin' for that, oh
So many claims to know divine
Is it stupid to think
Am I jealous missin' that?
Would you be, would you define?
Bein' a crutch like this
Or grief like mine, ohh, ahh
Does it feel like
There's no bright side?
Do you want to
Place your fist in the wall?
I feel that warmth within me
Can't help but think it's all lies
So sadly strip down and thrust to the cold outside
Nothing can left to protect me
I wish I could believe this

Into the maze
Enter the medicine handed down
Within these veins
Bleeding with apathy till it drowns
No more to gain
Needing the ugliness that surrounds
Return again
Caught in the medicine handed down
Am I your charity?
For you to look so kind?
But your aim is not quite clear
It’s better if you leave in quiet
Is this mood frightening?
And who are you sometimes?
Don’t try and rescue me
Go save someone else
I’m far past done
Gasping, calling
I saw I’m all alone
Grasping, crawling
Is this not what you had planned?
Oh I’m all alone
Go on hero
You’re faking no one, not today
Stop this you’re scaring me
Don’t even know you now
Trying to rescue me
Go save someone else
I’m way past gone

Bones are broken and the will is sunk
How did everything get so fucked up?
Do you want to change your mind?
You can always change your mind
You and I could quit this scene
Build a town and then secede
Like an Adam and an Eve
'Cause to the dreamers go the dreams
But the leaders have the lead
It's a frightening, frightening thing
Born to the land of opportunity
Of manifest destiny
Do you want to change your mind?
You can always change your mind
You and I could quit this scene
Build a town and then secede
Like an Adam and an Eve
To the dreamers go to the dreams
But the leaders have the lead
It's a frightening, frightening thing
The Moon and stars are ganging up on the Sun
Rebellion
Everybody, the sky is falling down
Friends and lovers, the world is coming down
Down, down

I was dead sleeping in your bed
Floated up from the ground and looked down
Then finally I could see completely
Heard the angels' song
I know what you are
I could never tell
They sang what you are
This far away, you're a miniature to me
Are you sorry you almost disappeared
Now I know what you are
I could never tell
They sang what you are
Now the notes are fading
and everything is turned around
And I can't help but think it
Its a long way down
And everything is changing
and everything is turned around
And I can't help but thinking
its a long way down
Now I know what you are
I could never tell

On your way to the best years of your life
Everyone's banging on their gongs
The sooner you leave the sooner you're home
Back in Massachusetts
To your golden age where they tuck you in at night
You didn't see it coming
Now who you gonna wave to?
This time you're not homecoming king
Did you hear that?
Have you heard that sound before?
Do you even know where it is coming from?
Its getting too loud
It keeps on pushing you out
Into the arms of 1994
You didn't see it coming
Now who you gonna wave to?
You're not homecoming king
You stand on your own
wasn't what you hoped at all
Do you still recall it,
giving dead-arms in the hall?
Stay right where you are
You'll be half of who you were
When you always would win
So count the days till you give in
Back to massachusetts
To your golden age where your crown is shining bright
You didn't see it coming
Now who you gonna wave to?
This time you're not homecoming king
Did you see it coming?
Now who you gonna wave to?

Absent in the things I’ve done
For the real
Revelations come to people so slow
Frightening
Won’t stop now before they’re done
Peel their skin
Eaten underneath
Rotten
Rotten
Drowning in understanding
Swallowed poison keeps them well
But watching the others struggle through
Makes me grin
Should I tell the mindless stumbling through
That I have found it?
Watching all the things they’ve done
This is real
When revolution comes from misguided hands
Frightening
And in all the idiots I see
Thoughtless men casting doubts on me
Enlightening
Downing in understanding
Swallowed poison keeps them well
But watching the others struggle through
Makes me grin
Should I tell the mindless stumbling through
That I have found it?
They’ll turn the vice once
And slowly break your hand
Will it come back to you now
Just like it never left?
(Chorus in forefront, lyrics below as backup)
Peel away their faith, their fears, have led them towards the worse one
See the way their minds have glazed they’re looking for the worst one

You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you
Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you?
Wonder what difference does it make......Either way
You were almost kind, you were almost true
Why give away that other side of you
Happens every time, so it must be true
Step on a kid, he'll grow up hating you
Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make....Either way
Were you ever kind, were you always cruel?
Who's ever seen that other side of you?
Happened every time, so it must be true?
Where did you learn it's either him or you?
You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you
Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you?

She leans closer to me
I give a warning of higher calling
Must go over with me
We’re not happy in this place we are
Get up
The countdown will begin
Get up
Towards devotion
Get up
Leave everything with them
Get up
Cause you won’t need anything
We’ll be shielded up above
And the screams will not reach us
Fear will be undone
On the path of chosen ones
Getting even
They haven’t heard a word we’ve said
They make mistakes
They doubt his calling
To taste revenge will be so sweet
When we have left them this place
And as we leave our sacrifice
One final step outside
No longer feel these things around
Soon we’ll be happy in the place we are
Get up
The countdown will begin
Get up
Towards devotion
Get up
Leave everything with them
Get up
Cause you won’t need anything
We’ll be shielded up above
And the screams will not reach us
Fear will be undone
On the path of chosen ones

When you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
Just a perfect reflection, you and no one else
Minutes run into hours, hours run into days
You're still waiting for someone who never ever came
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Go and run through the hallways, and find your way to the door
You will end up like always, back where you were before
Can you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
But it's still your reflection, you and no one else
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
No matter where you go, you'll never find your way home
You'll never find your way home no matter where you go
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa

All I want is the world
And everything for me
You can rattle off your talk
All that matters is what I see
If you break me down
Selfish desire is all you blame
Cause desperate times
Call for desperate measures
And I am not ashamed
Oh it took me a long time to come to this
And I have chosen my path
I am only for me
All my dreams are so closed
If I open them to you
You can count them all as lies
You can believe me or you can believe the truth
But I could let you in
Put your feelings on the shelf
There’s only room cause it helps myself
Oh I could let you in
But it’s to no avail
I only listen cause it helps myself
Oh it took me a long time to come to this
And I have chosen my path
I am only for me
I took a cane from a blind man
And I’ve tasted the fruit in the garden of Eden
When I walk out of here
I know I’ll stand clear
But the taste in my mouth still remains
Still remains
Oh it took me along time

And it’s true he was so young
But you are here
And the moment clouds your brain
You could’ve even saved him
That means nothing
You could’ve even been there
That’s a lie
How can you blame him for your life?
It’s a mental suicide
And it carries you away
Dissolve your fear into one
Dissolve will find a way
Then it’s true we aren’t immune
But there’s a way
And denial clouds your brain
To try and understand him
That means nothing
To try and find the meaning
It’s a lie
How can you blame him for your life?
It’s a mental suicide
And it carries you away
Dissolve your fear into one
Dissolve will find a way
To right a wrong
To understand
To figure out
It’s in His plans
To leave alone
To find a way
To figure out
It’s not your fault
And it’s the both of you he’s ruined
He’s torn away all the desire born inside
You could’ve even saved him
That means nothing
You could’ve even been there
That’s a lie
To try and understand him
That means nothing
To try and find the meaning
It's a lie
To leave alone
To find a way
To figure out
It’s not your fault
To see yourself
Your brother wouldn’t be proud of you

My words confuse you
My eyes don’t move a blink
Cause it’s easier sometimes
Not to be sincere
Somehow I make you believe
Believe
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
Honest is easy
Fiction is where genius lies
Cause it’s easier sometimes
Not to be involved
Somehow I make you believe
Believe
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon

As I fall asleep, to black and white TV
Fly far away, in my recurring dream
Each winter drains electricity
There are words to say
There are songs to sing
But I can hardly speak at all
Home, I'm on my way to a holiday in real time
Float, hold my own weight, say we'll be OK
Dear Valentine
Now quietly peek across the street
Perfectly kept, perfectly neat
But it's not complete, no not at all
Home I'm on my way to a holiday in real time
Float, hold my own weight, say we'll be OK

Dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes
Right in tune with dark side of the moon
Someone, someone could tell me
Where I belong
Be calm, be brave, it'll be okay
No more messing around and living underground
And new year's resolutions
By this time next year I won't be here
I turn on MTV, the volume's down
Lips move, they say
It'll be okay
To tell you the truth, I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
One last time these words from me
I'm never saying them again
and I shut the light
and listen as my watch unwinds
To tell you the truth, I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I've been half-asleep
I'm never doing that again
I look straight at what's coming ahead
and soon its going to change in a new direction
Every night as I'm falling asleep
These words repeating in my head
Voices calling from a yellow road
To come downstairs and say hello
Don't be shy, just say hello
To tell you the truth, I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I've been half-asleep
I'm never doing that again
I look straight at what's coming ahead
and soon its going to change in a new direction
Every night as I'm falling asleep

Just one more time he said as he crawls into his own
I’m doing fine he said as the tears fall down alone
Why must you question me?
Do you want your future blown?
Look at the sight of him
What can he do to show you?
Living life for others
Shuffle through the day
Everyone is out to get him
What do they have to say?
Pull yourself up out of this rut
Make it all come clean
Cause the day the sun gets in your eyes
Is the day that you’ll be free?
Open the door
The world is too young
To see what you’ve felt before
When all the sleeps end restlessly
Without time
Dream yourself to sleep at night
Only lying beneath the clouds
Spend your lifetime in the shade
When the early morning sun wakes up

And you walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual you will get your way
You closed the door and stumbled down to the street
Where you wring your hands
And you drag your feet there
Where the words can't find you
To crawl inside you
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning
But you can't hide standing under these stars
They know everything, they know where you are
You're in your head, you're all turned around with it
And they're shining down their light to bring you back again
Back where I can find you
To crawl inside you
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try till the morning
All you want to see is make believe
It's nothing but way down underneath
I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful you don't hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell you
Careful or you'll hurt yourself

When the day will come along
And you have been there
Find the angels at your feet
Prone on the ground there
So come and bury me
I’ll find mine underneath
Don’t you see the kingdom?
Hold your crown so high
So come and bury me
Won’t find mine underneath
Don’t know where the angel’s gone
Haven’t been there
Find the jackals at your feet
Stain the ground there
Don’t you see the kingdom?
Hold your crown so high
Don’t come and bury me
Won’t find mine underneath
So come and bury me

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

Glad you made it
Welcome to the farm
Who’s your daddy?
I’m your daddy now
I’m here seeking only what i need
In your mind is where ill plant my seed
It’s for sure
Let me keep you in this place
You’ll be better off this way
I will keep you warm and safe
You’ll be better off this way
You learn to love the price you pay
Trust me dear you’re better off this way
Put to bed the son and sister moon
Ill be hiding in your dirty room
Ill go there seeking only what I need
La ti da we’ll stay there till we bleed
It’s for sure
Let me keep you in this place
You’ll be better off this way
I will keep you warm and safe
You’ll be better off this way
I will not wake you from your sleep
Leave you wandering counting sheep
No more sad and sunshine days
Trust me dear you’re better off this way

Played follow the leader
Keeping my steps in time
Counting on the wonder ahead
I leave the pain behind
It?s on me, it?s all mine
Go away they?re my mistakes
They?re not your problem
Pinned down in this heaven
I?ll die a thousand times
Aware of the damage ahead
I?ll leave the pain behind
Another day, a perfect day
A twinge of pain the sting of the needle
Starin' at the walls provide
A brilliant sight through eyes of the needle
So warm at the bottom
Warm never felt so kind
And for a moment or two
I leave it all behind
It's on me, it's all mine
Go away, they're my mistake
And not your problem
Black dog white picket fences
Mow them down and dance in the rip tide
Face down in consequences
Crack me up and stay on your own side
Another day, a perfect day
A twinge of pain, the sting of the needle
Starin' at the walls provide
A brilliant sight through eyes of the needle
I wish I may, I wish I might
I pray my soul to keep tonight
When all the walls start staring back

One of us won't last the night, between you and me it's no surprise
There's two of us, both can't be right
Neither will move till it's over
I'm the center of attention and the wall's inside my head
And no one will ever know it if I keep my mouth shut tight
My own little world is what I deserve
Cause I am the only child there is
I'm king of it all, the belle of the ball
I promise I've always been like this
Forever the first, my bubble can't burst
It's almost like only I exist
Where everything's fine, if I can keep my mouth shut tight...tight...tight
All by myself, I'm so much better on my own
And way out there, it is the same old place that it always has been
I'm the center of attention and the wall's inside my head
And no one will ever know it if I keep my mouth shut tight..tight...tight
My own little world is what I deserve
Cause I am the only child there is
I'm king of it all, the belle of the ball
I promise I've always been like this
Forever the first, my bubble can't burst
It's almost like only I exist
Where everything's fine, if I can keep my mouth shut tight...tight...tight
One of us won't last the night, between you and me it's no surprise
There's two of us, both can't be right
Neither will move till it's over
I'm the center of attention and the wall's inside my head
And no one will ever know it if I keep my mouth shut tight
Yeah, no one will ever notice if I keep my mouth shut tight...tight...tight
Cause I am the only child there is
I'm king of it all, the belle of the ball
I promise I've always been like this
Forever the first, my bubble can't burst
It's almost like only I exist

Can you remember?
What the future held
A little candy ring
And a mystic oceans shell
But they were all anesthetized
And slowly washed away
Left all the poison in the sands in which I played
I don’t mind falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and Stitches always fade and only strengthen me
But with my eyes as wide as pearls
My only centerpiece
Is taken like a dead mans urn and tossed into the sea
Write me like a letter
And dot your I’s and cross you T’s
Nothing was everything to me
Under the monsters claws and in between his teeth
Was the shadow and a silhouette of what I’d thought I’d be?
I don’t mind falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and Stitches always fade and only strengthen me
But with my eyes as wide as pearls
My only centerpiece

Where'd you get that
Blue ocean in your head
I know you're there when you close your eyes
Don't waste my time
Just make up your mind
It's the hardest thing there is to do
Just treading water here with you
On a Sunday afternoon
Sunday afternoon
Where'd you find that
Fence your sitting on?
You know I'll climb it if you want me to
So don't waste my time
Just make up your mind
The hardest thing there is to do
To stand beneath you feeling blue
On a Sunday afternoon
It's the hardest thing there is to do
To fall asleep and dream of you
Every sunday afternoon
Sunday afternoon

To clear the conscience of who I am
I break the silence that keeps it all in
I’ve given you everything I wish you knew
I did it for me
I didn’t do it for you
I looked her way with x-ray eyes
And she looked like she was not even there
Preserving the things that I have kept from you
Didn’t give them away when you had asked me to
You’re pointing at me and how do I reply
I smash your fingers and drag you away
I looked away with X-ray eyes
And she looked like she was not even there
I cannot deny that I had planned this
I only gave till I was done
Fallen on me this happy ending
I know I was awake and she was numb
But then she started to leave
Finally started to leave

1945, the year I was born
My mother died, but left behind a son
You stayed with me Jesus
Yes, you showed the way
You flew down from Heaven, to steal me away
In 1959 two cars collide
Nine in the crash and 1 survived
You stayed with me Jesus
Yes, I'll testify
You flew down from Heaven, to keep me alive
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
1985 I missed a plane
which then disappeared, never seen again
You came to me Jesus, stood right in my way
You flew down from Heaven to save me again
Everywhere I go they run in fear
This mortal coil, the end is near
You stayed with me Jesus, bow my head and pray
You've come down from Heaven to keep me safe
You've come down from Heaven to keep me safe
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

We're not sentimental
We're just oil-filled machines
Trying not to say the things we mean
You gotta show us a little love
Our big brother tells us
That it's something in our genes
Pretty soon we'll all be coming clean
So start showing a little skin
I'm the judge and jury
I'm the lion and the lamb
And this is the beginning of the end
It's breaking you down
We're breaking you down
We're unrecognizable
We're sunken submarines
Trying to escape before we're seen
You're gonna miss us when we're gone
I'm the judge and jury
I'm the lion and the lamb
And this is the beginning of the end
We're breaking you down

There are ghosts in here
They are stuck in the middle
Midnight rattling chains
Just like fireworks
Heading straight for the heavens
But explode on the way
Wake up, sweetheart
Rise and shine
There are bones to bury
And bones to find
This place is coming to life
Just like dominoes
First one, then come the others
Long invisible lines
Restless prisoners
Damsels longing for lovers
Rhymers searching for rhymes
Wake up, sweetheart
Rise and shine
I hear music playing
Chorus lines
This place is coming to life
Speak up, sweetheart
We're wasting time
These are changed surroundings
Hold on tight

'Round the corner
Lonliness still following me
I can't shake her
Her mother said,
"Now don't be scared to fight"
So I should feel no shame
I should never turn the other cheek
Come and say that to my face
Shyness will keep me in place
Love always comes
Love gets her way
Love bites my tongue
Then love goes away
Shyness, fear, and shame
Whisper all those things about me
Come and say that to my face
Words that I think but don't say
Love always comes
Love gets her way
Love knows the time
Then love is gone
Save me, I'm strong
Where is the sign?
For shyness, fear, and shame
Wrapped her arms and legs around me
Come and say that to my face
When will it be that
I don't feel no shame?
There's a sin that's coming on me

Shining like a work of art
Hanging on a wall of stars
Are you what I think you are?
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
Elevator to the moon
Whistling our favorite tune
Trying to get a closer view
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
Maybe you will always be
Just a little out of reach
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite

They've got to be clean, they've gotta be clean, ahhhahh
We wash our hands whenever we eat
And in the bath we wash our ears, our elbows and feet
We gotta be clean
We gotta be clean
It's healthy and keen
We gotta be clean
Ahhh Ahhh
(Yes sir!)
We start each day by brushing our teeth
(Brush brush!)
And getting the plaque and stuff off the smile underneath
We gotta be clean
We floss in between
Like the string must be green
We gotta be clean
Each day's a fight with the forces of dirt
(Dirt! Dirt! Dirt!)
Battling the smudge and the smear and the squirt
(Squirt! Squirt! Squirt!)
What do we do when our shirt is all covered with mustard?
(Mustard! Mustard! Mustard!)
You may just wear it and wear it and wear it for weeks
(No!)
Not Guster...
We wash it, then we wear it
We may be sad
We may be beat
We may be cross or tired or mad but we'll always be neat
We gotta be clean
Like all dishes we've seen
Or a fresh nectarine
Or some laundry that's been through the washing machine
We gotta be clean

One half of me is still shaking
The other half is still waiting for little hug
Walk down the water slide
Look in my eyes show me a sigh
So people swimming
I'm sitting here and waiting for little huh
Come down through the other side
Look in my eyes tell me your mine
After the cut then comes the blood
Falls to the dirt turns into mud
From the soil we grow together
That's no way to get to heaven
And everyone thinks that's crazy
Sitting here and we are waiting for a little hug
Step down the water slide
Look in my eyes tell me your mine
After the cut then comes the blood
Falls to the dirt turns into mud
From the soil we grow together

Woke up today to everything grey
And all that I saw just kept goin on and on
Sweep all the pieces under the bed
Close all the curtains and cover my head
And what you wish for won't come true
You aren't surprised love, are you?
If this serenade is not what you want
It's just how it is, it keeps goin on and on
Come out, come out where ever you are
Would you do it all over right from the start
And what you wish for won't come true
You aren't suprised love, are you?
So what you wish for won't come true
You aren't surprised love, are you?
Once had this dream, crashed down in Oz
Not black and white, but where the colors are
I never dreamed that I would let her go
And I will get what I deserve
Keep all the secrets under the bed
Open the curtains, forget what I said
And what you wished for could come true
You aren't surprised love, are you?
So what you wished for could come true

I caught a piece of the sunshine, put a little hope in me
But after the flood raged, there's nothing really left to see
But I was not done, or beat, the violence was a source of strength
Not everything is always just as it seems
What you call love, is just urgency
What you call love, is a place you turn in an emergency
Would you give up, when it's not what you want it to be?
But that's not love, what you call love
I caught a piece of the sunshine, burned a little hole in me
But after the flood raged, there's nothing really left to see
But i was not done or beat, the violence was a source of strength
Not everything is always just as it seems
What you call love, is just urgency
What you call love, is a place you turn in an emergency
Would you give up, when its not what you want it to be?
But thats not love, what you call love
What you call love, is just urgency
What you call love is a place to turn in an emergency
Would you give up when its not what you want it to be?
But thats not love, what you call love
No thats not love, what you call love

Welcome
You're under control
And buried like a mole
A thousand feet below
Waiting
We're all that we've got
Our reputation's shot
A ninety-story fall
No one here can make a sound
We're all ghosts in this town
We are standing in the trenches
Of the new underground
Pipe down
Stay under control
It's getting so absurd
Soon everything will turn
It's our time
To see the Sun
There'll be a crack
And our day will come
Maybe then we'll be the ones
You never can be sure
The shot heard 'round the world
No one here can make a sound
We're just ghosts in this town
We are standing in the trenches
Of the new underground
No one here can make a sound
We're just ghosts in this town
We are standing in the trenches
Of the new underground
All the walls are coming down
We're still hanging around
We are digging in the trenches
Of the new underground
(All right, yeah, all right, uh-huh)
(All right, yeah, all right, uh-huh)
(Yeah, I got it, uh-huh, all right)
(Uh-huh, all right, yeah, uh-huh)
(Uh huh, I got it, morning, I know you are)
