Do you believe you've really found a way To leave the planet Earth and cruise the Milky Way? Have you heard it's all in your mind? Leave you body on your bed and leave the earth behind All these little voices tell me what to say But I'm never really sure if you are I or we are they Or do you believe you've really got it made A house on a hill a down payment on your grave Have you heard it's all in your head Do blind men dream in color? Is red really red? All these little voices they tell me what to say But I'm never really sure if you are I or we are they

Tired Horse 03:26
We'll see how it goes Get a little honey and you get a little closer Friends are your foes It doesn't really matter if they think you're just a poseur When your heart breaks It's time to take your tired horse and go. Do what you do Taking your time and makin' a connection Book of who's who Didn't get your name when making their selection The days aren't all blue It's time to bail your leaky boat and row Knock on that door You ain't coming in no matter if you holler Rich man or poor Gotta have a buck if he wanna to make a dollar Who is it for Anybody here can spare a dime. Most of the time. We're talking trash We got a lot to say and you're gonna get an earful Under the lash Itty bitty sheeple looking terrified and tearful Your hearth turns to ash Can anybody tell my why it rhymes. With nursery crymes

Glow Boys 03:26
She said I've something to say It's gonna 'cause you pain But I'm leaving today We've already been the roundabout Too many circles I'm gettin' out Glow Boys We are the jumpers we work in the core Glow Boys Twelve is our limit can't take anymore You never understood We weren't just gettin' by The money's so good And now when the times are bad Living the good life should make you glad Glow Boys We are the jumpers we work in the core Glow Boys Twelve is our limit can't take anymore Even now when the times are bad Living the good life should make you glad She said I've something to say It's gonna 'cause you pain But I'm leaving today We've already been the roundabout Too many circles I'm gettin' out Glow Boys We are the jumpers we work in the core Glow Boys Twelve is our limit can't take anymore Glow Boys We are the jumpers we work in the core Glow Boys Twelve is our limit can't take anymore

Lamplight 04:12
Lamplight here I am standing in your shadow again Lamplight how well I know all that glitters it isn't gold Once I had money more than that I had a house on a hill There in my house surrounded by things It was my castle and I was the king Lamplight but there I go dancing in your lonely shadow Lamplight I'm here to tell you can drown face down in a wishing will Once I had a girl more than that she was my whole world We used to dance the whole night through And not once did I think of you Lamplight But here I am standing in your shadow again Lamplight I gotta run you can't regret What you haven't done Lamplight Lamplight there I go dancing in your lonely shadow Lamplight I gotta say it must be my unlucky day Once I had money more than that I had a house on a hill It was my castle and I was the king Lamplight don't you see I had a date with tragedy Lamplight I'm here to tell you can drown face down in a wishing well Lamplight here I am leaning on your lampost again Lamplight don't you see I had a date with tragedy Lamplight there I go dancing in your lonely shadow Lamplight I gotta run you can't regret what you haven't done Once I had a girl more than that She was my whole world We used to dance the whole night through And not once did I think of you Lamplight here I go dancing in your lonely shadow Lamplight don't you see I had a date with tragedy Lamplight o talk to me Lamplight You're just standing there staring Lamplight

She had everything she ever wanted She had everything she'd ever need Pockets full of daddy's cash Nothing left but smoke and ash Forty miles up county road seven Forty miles under ice and snow Pray to God she got to heaven No one here will ever know People Die Everyday People in cars and buses People in tanks and planes Drowning in the water Burning in the flames People Die Everyday If you feel your body falling And your life spirit drifts away You'll hear the voices calling You'll hear an angel say People Die Everyday.ave the planet Earth and cruise the Milky Way? Have you heard it's all in your mind? Leave you body on your bed and leave the earth behind All these little voices tell me what to say But I'm never really sure if you are I or we are they Or do you believe you've really got it made A house on a hill a down payment on your grave Have you heard it's all in your head Do blind men dream in color? Is red really red? All these little voices they tell me what to say But I'm never really sure if you are I or we are they

Trouble trouble comes in threes Triple trouble comes to me Darkness darkness I can see First go to and then go down South to west to all around Darker trouble can be found Darkness darkness I can see Triple trouble come to me Trouble trouble comes in threes spoken: We were sitting on the couch breeding The television set blinking in our eyes When out of the darkness cam a third voice

She waits at the edge of a strange new world And strikes at indecision Her every change of heart Brings a change of mind The rythmn of an everlasting roar At land's end Where the ocean meetst the sand Riding the sky on a rising tide And scattered on a beach for knowing hope Flies the wind of an growing storm Breaking on the coastal water Churning her tears into whirlpools Trickling through a quickly closing bottleneck in time Turning her back on the forested land She wades out to the tide pools' And strokes the sea anenomies.

I Baby Yeah 02:44
I Baby Yeah (repeat) Did you hear what I said I said I Baby Yeah You ought to know what I said I said I Baby Yeah B-b-b-b-b-b-baby! Oh Yeah!

Falling in a trance What I want to do Fire in my pants For the ladies that you use Mr Lacy Furs (4 times) Pentagramma spin Bolted to the floor Mr Lacy Furs Is standing at the door Walking in my mind Stepping on my soul Got me in a bind Leave me in a hole Someone on the outside Drags me from the inside Scattered on the moontide Waiting by the seaside Mr Lacy Furs

Let me take you in my confidence Its a complimentary pain We can dig a private hole to crawl in Quietly reeling in the silences A broken gender full of promises I'll write a flesh pentameter On the sofa with your spouse Cradling an object of desire Speaking conversationally about Mothers, bombers and cows You can cover the continent With a hardwood dancing floor And it won't matter Not one bit I can only wonder What was there before I had no idea you'd come with a scream
