woke up monday morning
couldn't get out of bed
rolled right over on top of you
it's only in my head
creaky bones take me into
the garden by the bank
swear i'm gonna lightening strike
but its all in my head
it's 27 degrees in here
i think i'm burning up
to crawl right out of my own skin
i think that's gotta stop
i'm straddling a thin, thin veil
of peaceful and insane
grateful that you're staying in the optimistic lane
life goes on around us but we can't help standing still
just move on in 3/4 time
and see it through my little sister's eyes
delicately navigating lies
o but we can
we can grow from this
my heart
is big enough for it to exist
we can, we can…

|
ha!
i don’t think i love you
but i think i’d like to
i see you if it ain’t right
ha!
i’m leaving, you’re waiting
i sing alone without you
i see you if it ain’t right
i see you for the first time
ha!

Radio On
02:54
|
|||
|
well it comes to mind
ya, you got it right
you look lovely tonight
yith the radio on
and we’ll play it loud
wear them speakers out
make the neighbours shout
with the radio on
with the hey la la la la….
it’s the long lost story
of a happy boy
who meets a happy girl
with the radio on
and we’ll tell ‘em with the parts
all the parts where they remember
all the lucky times
and the radio on
with the hey la la la la….
i don’t know where this is going
this town stays out every night
radio on…

Champagne
02:51
|
|||
|
stare ‘em down the lane that holds you back
against the gutterball
you’re over the line
too little too late apologies
they can’t wait to fault you
when you’re over the line
one, two, three, four
let’s play loud
champagne
little did i know
that you would have all of the answers
still you brought me here
i thought i’d ask you so
yes i’m well aware
of all your wealth and all the pleasures
yet i don’t find you that irresistible
because you’re over the line
strike out
work hard
play it loud
shout it out
lights out
champagne
in your brain
play it loud
champagne!

Mary
02:58
|
|||
|
wait out the charge
boys in them cars
stand back and watch as she leaves
there’s no need to fight
ya, you reckon she’s right
found out me, found out me
o, o…
temper the cold
look down the road
watch as them brake lights fade
mary’s left home
ya, she’s seldom alone
she ain’t afraid, she ain’t afraid
o, o…
step off the wall
it’s a long way to fall
stumble and pick up speed
put out the facts
ya, it’s hard to relax
but come with me, mary please
well it’s getting dark
tomorrow he starts
to patch it up, make amends
to get this one right
he’ll begin at first light
wait ‘til then, wait ‘til then, to see his mary again
o, o…

Cincinnati
02:36
|
|||
|
cincinnati left me wild
the pulsing of the banks
no one stops for reds no more
each man makes his way
and with the fading of the argument
suspension wins
bridging state to state
the ohio rushes underneath
the listless wheels
rocking me
ohio, ohio
how long will the freight train run
keep these states in line
this kentucky wine
ghosts of no one left in charge
hear it through the wake
i can post out in the yard
i can sleep for days
ohio, ohio

Shut Up

The Real
02:47
|
|||
|
party ‘til the sun comes up
bass beat pounding in their ears
so loud that you can’t hear
running through the bleachers
running through the parking lot
no roman candles going off
this shit just got real
ya, they’re all gone
this shit just got real
ya, they’re all gone
i don’t wanna play that way at all
this ain’t no false alarm
no cover in the halls
the list goes on and on
staking out the rooftops
lone wolf scoping lambs
the barrel stinks of smoke again
this shit just got real
ya, they’re all gone
this shit just got real
ya, they’re all gone
ya, we’re all gone
i don’t wanna play that way at all
on and on and on and on and on

Right Side Of Wrong
02:44
|
|||
|
this twilight is just right
staring at you
shut out the porch light
we’ll see how we do
don’t wait too long for the right side of wrong
the dust settles slowly
and it’s seeing us through
it’s not that i’m lonely
(well i can be alone)
it’s just better when there’s two
don’t wait too long for the right side of wrong
weigh out the cost and meet me in boston soon
the lucky line, i don’t mind, see what’s fine, see what’s new
this twilight is just right
staring at you
shut out the porch light
(stay in bed with me)

Minute To Breathe
03:10
|
|||
|
wasting time
standing in line
never bothered me
when i was with you
but i can’t stay
here anyway
what if i do
try hard to love you
well so long, so long, so long
on we go
got nothing to show
for this show i don’t know
we left it too long
now it’s all gone
ya, now it’s all gone
give me a minute to breathe
give me a minute or two
what if i do
try hard to love you
well so long, so long, so long

Ever Yours
01:40
|
|||
|
where you go
i can't sleep
you run so fast
through my dreams
we can play hide and seek
you used to caution
i'm the words that you warned
and now see what i've become
i will not play around with your love
because i'm ever yours
there you go
i can't see
you run so fast through my dreams
we can play hide and seek
you used to caution
i'm the words that you warned
and now see what i've become
i will not play around with your love
because i'm ever yours
