lyrics:
GOIN' GONE
i'm done with digging the past up in the night
lets focus on the here and now
i wonder if we'll wake up with the angels in the sky
or on a hill under the ground
just like a face in the mirror can't be mistaken
(accept in the night)
i'll take a stab at the question now at hand
by walking down the line from you to me.....
they say you can't become a man until you execute a plan
and figure out the jump from 1 to 3
just like the face in the mirror can't be mistaken
if your feelin' so -so are you gonna wanna stick around?
now i say so long, i'm goin' gone, i'm goin' gone
i say so long, i'm goin' gone, i'm goin' gone
and won't you come down on the 4th of july
when nobody walks around
they came and they put my head down on the ground
cooling it off is just so easy to do
unless you can't swim then drown
i thought i'd apologize and not make a sound
on the horizon it's made up of sand
sinking in a dead blue sea
it's not like i don't feel it much in fact you know what man?
it kills me when you see right through to me
now i say so long, i'm goin' gone, i'm goin' gone (its my favorite, its its...)
i say so long, i'm goin' gone, i'm goin' gone (its my favorite, its its my favorite song)
WORK ON A FEELING
i'm putting out a call to all my friends
what else am i supposed to do?
could watch the television have it tuck me in again
then it'll do what i want it to do
this is how you watch a fallen tree like me
sick as apple pie can be
make it like a stick that grew from any other seed
and you'll thick and as high as can be
now what's the matter buddy with the head cut off?
what an awful thing to do
we'll stick you back together then we'll say it with a cough,
"you can do what you wanted to do"
radio plays crystals for me
you do what you want then believe
i used to be so on top of the heap
with no one else excited except for me
and my counselors, do what you want then believe
FOOL IN THE NIGHT
fool in the night, fool in the night
lots of lovely people become fools in the night
so come on, come on, can you feel the night?
lots of lovely people become fools in the night
so come on, come on, can we get it right?
lots of lovely people become fools in the night
STORMS IN THE SUMMERTIME
now i've been storming all through the summer
just to make a break into the chain of runners
that's holding me back from killing all the birds i can see
and its not small business to be on the front seat
its not small business to have fast and blunt grief
loss is the thing that keeps me coming back to the store
keep inside, move ahead, wave goodbye, left for dead
don't you wanna cry some more?
theft's smooth its just like a four leaf clover
you pick it up quick and fall in love all over
and just like a drug
the more you take its harder to quit
and the truth was proof
i took a fall and fumbled
gave up my life and all my friendships crumbled
it happened to me, ooo, it happened to me
keep inside, move ahead, wave goodbye, feel misled
don't you wanna cry some more?
GREEN IN THE SUN
i called up my maker and said i was done
called me a faker now go have your fun
you wanna be cold in your living?
no i can't decide, can't decide to move
left is my right, second to none
but you, you were the green in the setting sun
darling you, you make an eye and my day's all done
and its so much more than i thought that a lot could be.
the sound in the darkness the flood of the light
red and enlightened, i'm cool its alright
and speaking of fashion oh no you are the one
to start up a riot to start up a fight
but you, you were the green in the setting sun
darling you, you make an eye and my day's all done
it was you, you were the green in the setting sun
darling you, you make an eye and my day's all done
SECRET AGE
at a secret age i understated,
"we do what we must, we do what we must"
got the keys, the car and got motivated
feeling the trust, we do what we must
up on the road i bought my favorite book
left alone and i'll never be shook
i got the keys, the car and got motivated
feeling the trust , we do what we must
and you know i kinda think that our philosophy is a game call "in touch"
if you like it, yeah we do what we must, we do what we must.
up on the road i bought my favorite book
left alone and i'll never be shook
so draw straws don't deviate
don't miss the message cuz you tuned in late
we're gonna go out and give in to all the pain
i'm making room for an alibi
your face it sparkles like the 4th of july
the first decision that i ever made....
NOT BUILT FOR TWO
wish i could change through just a circ*mstance
not sure what i'm trying to prove
if heaven knows all of the answers just before you
if you combine two people just in time
and over analyze it till your through
by the end of the day its a heart you can trust for a clue
i used to think that pain went coast to
coast
its the cuts you don't notice at first that hurt the most
it takes more than your average man to stand in a field and talk to a ghost
like you and me before we said good night
faking like our eyes were both shut
while thinking about a comment that felt like a cut
i watched my whole world up and ended
i miss my favorite point of view
there goes the love i once defended
was this a dream not built for two?
was this a dream not built for two?
was this a dream not built for you?
FEEL REAL BRIGHT
playing a game that starts with love
look for some hands that fit the gloves
making demands on the man up above
i'm watching my own two feet work again
believing you missed on the plan isn't tough
to count on an unknowing one is enough
like i like a diamond but i don't like the rough
i'm watching my own two feet work again
i used to walk around and feel real bright
but now it don't seem right
there's like this darkness that shoots out of my eyes
and now it don't feel right
making big choices off the cuff
as if all the voices weren't enough
now i'm watching my own two feet work again
i'm not afraid of the box that my family and friends are gonna lay me in
i used to walk around and feel real bright
but now it don't seem right
there's like this darkness that shoots out of my eyes
and now it don't feel right
so help me out man
lend a brother a hand for the night
i'm making my plans to destroy all i can that's in sight
TOO SURE TO SEE
freaked out and small again
they're calling out your name
outside the baby rocks
they're playing the same old games
rules are you're miniature
and pain always comes in three's
its too soon to be too sure
of anything i see
like slaves from out of state
you've got this hold on me
destroying everything
to make a symphony
angels from up on high
plucking mighty strings
too tight to go untie
those pretty ugly things
its time to look at the big picture
through the lens of a long song
i'm gonna create some kind of fixture
disprove a dream gone wrong
i hold it up to the light
it burns and makes some kind of face
i'm beginning to think my dad looks like the son of the whole human race
i got this secret, maybe its a problem, what am i gonna do?
but i don't love it half as much as being alone with you
i'm done trying, seducing the masses, its the fade of falling lights
its you and me both that are making our passes, its the fade of falling lights
yeah, but who's gonna be the one to take us all home tonight?
rules are you're miniature
and pain always comes in three's
its too soon to be too sure
of anything i see
DOESN'T MEAN NOTHING
i thought that i was wanting to go
but its easier to do what you know
so i took the backroads and made it home before i got my mistake
i saw it sitting there on the floor
and i read the note i hoped would say more
and that was a front row ticket to the movie i was trying to make
if you could of just stuck to your part
i would've gone on with the breaking of hearts
cuz there's cops out on the highway so i'll just flip us off the side of the road
and i was thinking that there's only today
and i'd be lying if i thought i could say
that i can make up problems just to see what you are willing to take
i wanna be untrue
and you've gone left so i got rights to use
just like those needles crawling up my back
and it doesn't mean nothing
oh yeah we're feeling like it can't be right
we've been chasing this one all our lives
just like those needles crawling up my back
and it doesn't mean nothing
but you and me were hoping for more
just like that feeling that you get at the core
when everything's all broken
but you can't see cuz it hurts too much
i wanna be untrue
and you've gone left so i got rights to use
just like those needles crawling up my back
and it doesn't mean nothing
oh yeah we're feeling like it can't be right
we've been chasing this one all our lives
just like those needles crawling up my back
and it doesn't mean nothing
SITTIN' OVER THERE
there used to four of us now there are three
helping out citizens that looked a lot like you and me
if i could do it again
i'd do it naturally
we'd be sittin' over there underneath that tree
we'd be sittin' over there just you and me
messin' with a sentiment
is like the only thing i ever wanna do
i sorta think twice about it
before i'm giving up and telling the truth
fall in line
go and fake a point of view
it doesn't make a difference
it really doesn't do a ton to you
if i could do it again
i wouldn't change a thing
i'd be over by the boat
you'd be waiting there to see
it wouldn't take too long
it wouldn't come for free
we'd be sittin' over there underneath that tree
we'd be sittin' over there just you and me
oh yeah
MY FIRST LOVE
i heard this song on the radio
and the sound it got me feeling alright
i died a couple of days ago
and my memory was proving me right
that i wanna be alone tonight by the phone
with the same girl i call my first love
i'll take my fame and fortune on high
and feel the pain of love tonight
its a season of emotion and i'm ok to die
i put the point of view i got out of sight
now i wanna be alone tonight by the phone
with the same girl i call my first love
