Be Soon 02:54
When I'm done with my slumber Call me out of this scene Back before the dawn Wish I was on a rocket on my way to the moon Back before the sun Filling up my tank and it's empty When I'm halfway to the moon Never understood how a long, long day Always seems to end so soon Too soon Too soon I wish we held that pose for a long, long time Back when we were dumb Falling out of the backseat On my way back home Backseat of your car Filling up the space and it's empty I'm halfway to my ruin Never understood how this one being Could be the one I will be Be soon Be soon Be soon

We went walking way too far in someone else's shoes We didn't pay attention to the universal clues Confident and arrogant and frightened and confused We should have paid attention to the universal clues We should have paid attention Now we're going away and we're trying to stay And we to win and we refuse to lose The door is locked and we force the key And we don't pay our dues to the universal clues Ooh, ooh, ooh Burning oil, the food is spoiled The extra goes unused Is anybody out there Listening to the universal clues Is anybody out there Now we're going away and we're trying to stay And we sin to win and we refuse to lose The door is locked and we force the key Now we're going away and we're trying to stay And we sin to win and we refuse to lose The door is locked and we force the key We're going away We're trying to stay When we don't pay our dues To the universal clues Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh

Rainbow 03:39
Gonna walk right up to my place Say something stupid Gonna walk right up to your face Say something sweet You'll be the light that's surrounding me I'll be your alibi You'll be the sky and the deep blue sea I'll be your compromise And you won't feel the rain And you won't see the rainbow Gonna greet my own reflection Say some new bullshit Gotta seek my own redemption Do something real I'm staying in my bed all day Watching the clouds go by Listening to the sound of the rain I'm staying warm and dry But you won't feel the rain And you won't see the rainbow

What if we live and what if we die What if we ride straight on to the other place What if we rise and what if we fall What if we know there's no reciprocity Maybe we fell in love with ourselves Maybe we missed a gold opportunity Maybe we lift our hands from our hearts Maybe we've all been granted immunity What if I'm wrong and how could you know How could we live with all that we could have been What if we walk in circles some more Maybe in time we'll gain perspicacity Maybe I'll drill a hole in my floor Flex my muscles against the unstoppable Maybe I'll fly and maybe I'll crawl Maybe I'll get what may be impossible

Don't fall in love with an angel They like to hang in the sky It's hard to be an angel loving guy Angels are too bright to worry And why would you ask them to try It's hard to be an angel loving guy Oh, how do they know how to make me so happy I cry I got the blues for this angel and a flame in my heart that won't die If you fall in love with an angel Mind, keep your feet in the dirt Let your heart fly, get used to goodbye And my goodness, try not to get hurt Sometimes you're gonna feel lonesome But your angel is always close by Still, it's hard to be an angel loving guy Oh, how do they know how to make me so happy I cry I got the blues for this angel and a flame in my heart that won't die Oh, how do they know how to make me so happy I cry For they never cheat and they don't even know how to lie Still, it's hard to be an angel loving guy I got the blues for this angel and a flame in my heart that won't die

Go By 02:38
Listen to the things go by, go by Middle of the night go by Listen to the water, listen to the ground Listen to the wind go by Listen to the things go by, go by Middle of the night go by Listen to the wind go right on by Middle of the night go by No Santa and a herd of reindeer Could ever say they'd come through here No sleigh or satchel could contain Through dark of night and wind and rain And ice and snow, the summer sun They're all alone and on the lam In silhouette, a cigarette Flies sparking from your outstretched hand Listen to the things go by, go by Middle of the night go by Listen to the water, listen to the ground Listen to the wind go by Listen to the things go by, go by Middle of the night go by Listen to the wind go right on by Middle of the night go by Listen to the things go by, go by Middle of the night go by Listen to the water, listen to the ground Listen to the wind go by Listen to the things go by, go by Middle of the night go by Listen to the wind go right on by Middle of the night go by Middle of the night go by Middle of the night go by

Saturday 03:54
Saturday is two years to the day I became once again my secret name I remember how late it always seemed I remember how pointless it would be Now I'm gonna do something about it, do something about it, do something about it I remember how hard it was to be Everything I was never supposed to be Now I'm gonna do something about it, do something about it, do something about it Saturday is two years to the day I became once again my secret name Saturday is two years to the day I became once again my one true name

So Brave 02:32
Thank you for being so brave You saved my life Thank you for being so brave You saved my life Ba da ba ba Thank you for being so brave You changed my life Thank you for being so strange You changed my life Ba da ba ba All of the time You are so wonderful And you're so fine All of the time You are so beautiful And you're so fine All of the time

It's so lame to pretend you don't care about all the games you're playing It's so crazy to argue you don't care about all the ways you're pretending Strange games, strange ways, strange wager, strange brain It's an escape away from pale, lifeless in life force It's an escape to color inside your mind It's so flawed the logic that you call upon when your days are ending in vain It's so lost the thread that you brought out when you're off defending your claim Strange ways, strange wager, strange brain It's an escape away from pale, lifeless in life force It's an escape to color inside your mind Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Anyway, there's nothing that's left for you You and me, we're seeing this through Anyway, there's nobody left to play Can you deal at my table Strange games, strange ways, strange wager, strange brain It's an escape away from pale, lifeless in life force It's an escape to color inside your mind It's an escape away from pale, lifeless in life force It's an escape to color inside your mind

If it seems they don't want you, you say you don't need em You would easily trade in comfort for freedom The desert sky and the high peaks And the not-so-lonely highway Trade in comfort for freedom If you take a chance, try not to mislead em Cause they'd easily trade in comfort for freedom African drylands to the frozen highlands And the not-so-lonely highway You'd trade in comfort for freedom Take care of your children, clothe them and feed them Cause the comfort of true love is kind of a freedom The well-known dirt road and the frozen field And the not-so-lonely highway Trade in comfort for freedom Trade in comfort for freedom

This dream is receding a little bit more Like a convex mirror aimed at the sky Now lay your sweet head on the floor And try to remember the moments gone by There's something too sweet in the air Like the sound of a bell that's been filling your lungs And says no doubt it's always been there This life is designed for us This life is designed for us Loosen the tourniquet little by little The light of the summer returning to spring Now lay your sweet head on my shoulder It's always going and then coming again I wish I could drive there forever And the cold metal body would never rust And the dream is only beginning This life is designed for us This life is designed for us This life is designed for us This life is designed for us

Wishing well on a windy whistling little blackbird Unicorn in the front yard, waiting, walking backwards Okay, you're away, you're away, you're away Every place you've never been before Hey, you're away, you're away, you're away Every place you've never seen before I feel like I could never sell it better Every place you've never been before I feel like I could never ask another Every place you've never seen before Never seen before Never been before Time will tell on a waning new tune singing blackbird Wishing well on a weekend, big fire, going gettin there Okay, you're away, you're away, you're away Everyplace you've never been before Hey, you're away, you're away, you're away Everyplace you've never seen before I feel like I could never sell it better Everyplace you've never been before I feel like I could never ask another Everyplace you've never seen before Okay, you're away, you're away, you're away Okay, you're away, you're away, you're away Okay, you're away, you're away, you're away You're away, you're away

Sleep that's surrounded by dogs Black fur to soften the heart Waking, disturbing, they rise to my side Yeah, it's morning, but I'm not ready to ride And there's tea for the passing of time And the whisper of plow trucks and chains Sliding falling past our blue door And the storm says there's time to wait a bit more If it's too much and not enough Of everything all at once If you can't keep up, and it won't slow down Come back to town, and stay with us Stay with us And the stars will be hung in the trees And our breathing's beginning to freeze Circle slowly, the storm of the moon Yeah you're driving but we know you're coming home soon If it's too much and not enough Of everything all at once If you can't keep up, and it won't slow down Come back to town, and stay with us Sleep that's surrounded by dogs There's tea for the passing of time Branches and power lines sway Arcing to show us the way If it's too much and not enough If it's too much and not enough If it's too much and not enough

Same for Me 03:34
Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh It's the same for me It's the same What remains for me What remains Something has got into me Some kind of strange light Something you brought to share You'll be alright Meet me in the middle I'll meet you in between Something has written your name in the Dust on the cold floor Shaking my body Asking me for more It's the same for me It's the same Who's to blame for me It's a shame After the party's over We'll sweep up the crumbs of cake Fill up our empty pockets With all we can take Meet me by the river I'll meet you by the moon Sometimes you'll see a star And you won't know its name Fill up your ancient hard drive With all that remains Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh
15.
Time to go To the same place we don't know anyone Time to leave It's the same scene they leave you empty Time to fill Up the same place as yesterday in spacetime Time to go To dim lights and loud music After you You annihilate me After you You eviscerate me You will be free Time to go It's a mean old building burning Time to go It's the best thing you can do for me After you You annihilate me After you You eviscerate me You will be free
