Make It
03:36
|
|||
Yeah, yeah, I'm in a mood - not that I'm ever not
I don't mind you thinking about us; I don't mind you not
If you're feeling angry when you start to reminisce
thinking 'bout what I seem to think what you're thinking is
you're not gonna make it
you're not gonna lose
you're not complicated
you're just being rude
Don't you know when you're on your way,
child in the daytime, smiling at the day?
Don't you know when you're standing still,
like a cartwheel on the side of a hill?
Nary a worry - never a care
I'm going up, where there's plenty of air
If you run for hours running out of time when you're looking for love
will you be loving what you are thinking of?
You're not gonna make it
you're not gonna lose
you're not complicated
you're just being rude
Don't you know when you're on your way,
child in the daytime, smiling at the day?
Don't you know when you're standing still,
like a cartwheel on the side of a hill?

Fault
02:03
|
|||
I cannot fault you completely
for the reason I don't like you
I always heard you was great
from people whose verbs
came out a little too late
(they go absurd on their words)
When you speak, do you need a guard?
Understanding you shouldn't be that hard
I combine our minds directly
in a way, it's overdue
I've been quite impressed before
but only from whom I
didn't think was a bore
(they were just great one time or two or three or four)
Although you're hot, must I be a'trac'?
I've choo'ed like a train that never comes back
I cannot fault you completely - you achieve what you set out to do!

Hocus Pocus
02:53
|
|||
If you take a look at me
tell me what you see
Am I too close to you to be seen clear?
I cannot see too well tonight
If we pick a point of view
will we disagree?
You know how some people might like to change
but they don't choose what they would like
I've littered hocus pocus on a friend before
I've laid my footprints down on a dirty floor
I can't do magic, but I'd like to spread some around
I might not be centralized
might not have a theme
I might polish well but have no sheen
but I will look as I appear
Friction has ground smooth our points
metals grinding raw
I never seen what I thought I saw
but please don't disregard me yet
I've littered hocus pocus on a friend before
I've laid my footprints down on a dirty floor
I can't do magic, but I'd like to spread some around

Every Day
03:19
|
|||
I've spoken of plans before
cathedrals that will not fall down
don't convince me
to speak other plans
Not every day is the same
not every day is the same as
the day I learned
not all days equate
I do not pray that I will have a good day
but if I do, and I see you, I'll say hey
hey!
Dreams have interchanged few times
interspersed with some kind of rot
when they return
they grow more tall
Hope dwells, and then becomes conquered
the scoreboard filling up
as if there are some things
that still need to be defined
I do not pray that I will have a good day
but if I do and I see you, I'll say hey
hey!

Tonight
05:16
|
|||
I couldn't see you standing there
the other ones didn't seem to care
you must've lost your friends halfway through
Presentation presenting forth
presents to me what you're worth
what you're worth and what I'm worth to you
Well, I don't want to know if you're alone tonight
and I don't want to know if you change your hair
and I don't want to know if you want me tonight
and I don't want to know if you care
Now, as the nights roll on and on
when you're in a different town
promises we said aren't what we do
When you were done & there was no applause
I gave an ovation just because
what you said was not your point of view
Well, I don't want to know if you're alone tonight
and I don't want to know if you change your hair
and I don't want to know if you want me tonight
and I don't want to know if you care
Well, I don't want you around any day or any night
and I don't want to know if you feel all right
and I don't want you hanging 'round, knocking on my front door
cause I kind of don't want you here, anymore

All the Miles
03:01
|
|||
I parked in a sunbeam
and stayed for a while
and fed my blues
to the eve of your smile
All the miles you drive will take you far
Let the beginnings
turn into the ends
and all the others
will turn into your friends
All the miles you drive will take you far

Tip My Hat
02:36
|
|||
I was sitting in a chair today
but I realized it was tomorrow
ain't gonna name the days no more
Asked my wife, "clean this shirt?"
she shot bullets from her eyes
ain't gonna talk no more
Don't need this, don't need that
don't say hello - ain't gonna tip my hat
I had pie ten days too old
bit my tongue; bit the fork
ain't gonna eat no more
Don't need this, don't need that
don't say hello - ain't gonna tip my hat
Well, I worked my life too long
and I can't lay in my bed
ain't gonna live no more
ain't gonna live no more

Tears
01:35
|
|||
Get yourself rolling to an ocean
get yourself rolling to a field
get yourself rolling, cause - my people - well, you just roll all the same
Hit yourself 'til you're sore & bleeding
hit yourself 'til you roll in pain
hit yourself cause, you know - my people - well, you just feel all the same
Hide yourself - all the stars are losers
hide yourself - all they know is fame
hide yourself, cause, you know - my people - well, you just hide all the same
Only in a world where tears are a game
we cry for tears, and we cry for fame

We All Can Go
04:20
|
|||
Late at night I see you crying
smiling and you're crying 'cause of me
Now, you see, I'm glad you think of me at all
I think of you, but I ain't gonna call
We are too square to have a ball
If there's a ball, won't you take me there?
If I'm a ball, won't you bounce me square?
I'd take you anywhere, but you always turn away
We could go anywhere, but you would never say
We all can go there all the time
In a way, we are divided
but we're tired of the state of what's below
Down, emoted, where we first gave it a chance
feeling funky, moving fast in our pants
where we are bound to have a blast
Oh, but every time I go really fast, I gotta stop and start to laugh
I'd take you anywhere, but you always turn away
We could go anywhere, but you would never say
We all can go there all the time
