Not Alright
01:38
|
|
||
|
I stand on a side street I try to get a view
I wonder what the insane man is going to try to do
Don’t imagine what’s going on in his mind
Can’t figure it out without losing my own
I reach out with laser beams don’t want to burn my eyes
Reach for the sky I steal your wine
I’m back on a main street feeling alright
Something’s missing things are different and I’m not alright

delay of silence
I'm waiting to hear nothing

I could never rule the world
It’s not for me to do
I could never rule the world without you
I can’t do it on my own
Too much to deal with all alone
Even if I ruled the world and no one can
There’d be too much suffering I would have to see
I would need you here with me
Too much suffering for me to see alone

Driving over the avalanche
I can see the debris
I’m not crying about the milk on the ground in front of me
The streets are empty not like my brain
I can’t turn it off to bring in the rain
Driving over the avalanche
By the side of the road
It’s hard to imagine the hill coming down on us

Eraser Blades
01:28
|
|||
|
I pity the time I state my mind
eraser blades cut through
as clearly as we like
erasing the truth
there’s nothing left but lies
life seems to fly right out of line

No Balloons
01:54
|
|||
|
no balloons I don’t want balloons
on my birthday or when I’m sick
I want no balloons
they freak me out they sizzle in the power grid and cut the power out
no balloons I told you I warned you I don’t want balloons
they freak me out
on my birthday or when I’m hurt
I want no balloons
no balloons no balloons
I know it’s the thought that counts but I want no balloons
send me a card from somewhere you have never been and I will thank you just the same no balloons

Take My Time
02:16
|
|||
|
Whatever I do I'm gonna take my time
the only thing that's mine gonna take my time
I can walk no need to run so I take my time
in the daytime running at night
I've gotta find my way
in the daytime running at night
I do what I want gonna take my time
the only thing that's mine gonna take my time
in the daytime running running at night

Extinction
01:53
|
|||
|
solar flares burn my skin
so I claim that's where it begins
rocks from outer space keep hitting us
extinction
now we step up to be the next in line
asteroids video game
when we get hit
who's to blame?
we're dead by then anyway
extinction

Keys To My Mind
02:15
|
|||
|
I can't find the keys to my car
the ones to my mind are far away
this won't harm me at all my soul is in the way
gotta look around
until everything is upside down and turned inside out
when I find the key to my mind
life would surely be a game
if we don't find peace in our time that would be a shame

Doc's block I found it in the corner
Doc's block I saw it at the movies
how does it move around?

Shape Shifting Lions
01:22
|
|||
|
shapeshifting lions at the zoo
you were there I know you saw them too
they're getting ready to fly away
see them changing to their normal state
shapeshifting lions at the zoo

Ordinary Times
01:41
|
|||
|
I tell myself to live in ordinary times
we never know when that would be
when time stands still
I'd like to find myself in ordinary times
if we find it, we'll keep it and make time stand still
I want to live in ordinary times
we never know when that would be
I might be bored in ordinary times when time stands still

Wicked Stew
00:57
|
|||
|
everybody is cooking up a wicked stew
like there's nothing but evil to do
everywhere I go it's become the rule
that there's nothing but evil to do
we wish it would go away knowing that won't be enough
everybody is cooking up a wicked stew
like there's nothing but evil to do

SETTLE DOWN!

why should I settle down?

Hiding
01:50
|
|||
|
you wanted me to take your survey
said I'd be glad to tomorrow
under the radar's how I fly
don't ask me why sometimes I'm hiding
there's too much static in the air
you can't blame me for hiding
under the radar's how I fly
don't ask me why maybe I'm hiding
