Allez!!!
03:04

|
I'll take my faith
And wave it around
I'm taking my faith
And leaving this town
Better for me
Better for you
There's nothing more here
For me to lose
Allez, allez!!!
Nous allons vitement!!!
Allez, allez!!!
Nous allons maintenant!!!
All that you say
And all that you do
Suffice to say
We're better than you
Never again
Will you impose
Your will over mine
Or the path I chose
Allez, allez!!!
Nous allons vitement!!!
Allez, allez!!!
Nous allons maintenant!!!
So take your time
But please don't waste mine

Green Light
02:48
|
|||
|
Well I see the green light
So I go go go
Sucking up to the machine
'Cos it told me so
They got me on the clock
Putting in my time
So when I'm an old man
They'll take every damn dime
You're sitting in the same spot
Growing older still
You say you're gonna make a move
And you know you will
But the longer that you wait
The more you lose your light
Should've listened to the man
'Cos I know he's right
Hold on
To your vice
All the time
Alright

A Memory
02:27
|
|||
|
Everything is alright when you're fast asleep
Protection from life, and all the people
Who are ruining your life, disturbing the peace
Remove yourself from the hungry beast
I'm alive...
I'm skipping over steps I don't want to be
Part of my future or history
I'm taking my time, and steering clear
Remembering a day when I was free from fear...it's not so clear
I'm alive...
My love, my love, why you turn away?
Remembering how things were that day
In the cold embrace of your memory
I never thought you'd end up like me
But I'm alive...I'm alive
Everything is exactly right
The way you throw back your hair
And move down those stairs
I never thought I'd see you again

Lacking
03:04
|
|||
|
Cleaning up my mess, taking my time
Never walking in a straight line
Changing things forever, not going back
Slowly walking away from one track
Always in the middle, always on time
Always second place in my mind
Come on let's do one more, just for the taste
Nothing hurts when your mind is erased
Talking is forever, never enough
Always second-guessing myself
Talk about the matter, you speak so well
Take a good look into my hell
Prepare for the battle, ready for the fight
Prepare for the things that you'll need to rewrite
Come on let's do one more, what's one more day?
Closer to taking your body away

Lament
03:36
|
|||
|
Lying, trying to be free
Life for you was too easy
Pulled apart for all to see
Do you even remember me?
Laughing, smiling, all the day
I'll remember you that way
Trust and love came so easy
Now it's gone just as quickly
Oh, but in my memory
Lives a place where we can be
Laughing, smiling, all the day
I'll remember you that way

We Had Our Time
03:24
|
|||
|
Take your smile
Go away for a while
Go home now, go home now
Go on with your life
Go home now, go home now
Go and leave me behind
I'll be fine...
We had our time
All the anger taking over
But oh, we had such a time
Go home now, go home now
Go on with your life
Go home now, go home now
Go and leave me behind
I'll be fine...

Resolve
04:03
|
|||
|
Coming up on the end of my time
And I remind myself that I'm alive
Drink a cup and I feel fine
And then I run, run, run to my better mind
Never ever in my life
Would I have stayed so long or said goodbye
Must stop and remind
I'm leaving to live and not to die
Gone back from whence I came
Where I earned my marks and made my name
These faces, all the same
They've got the same demeanor, same decay
This bottle, nothing more
And I don't know what I came here for
These walls are in my way
And with you I am alone today
Mind unstable
Future unclear
Odds against you
Where I'll see you wind up
And when the lights go out
I will have no doubt
No story new to tell
Maybe it's just as well
I'm never coming back
And with your sweet attack
Did my time and all that's right
And so alone I find resolve tonight
From the bottom I pick, I choose
Because there's not much more that I can lose
I told you once and again
That I won't tell again, my friend
Less with more and more without
But not much more will it allow
Put off and put away
And I'm so glad it ends this way
And when the lights go out
I will have no doubt
No story new to tell
Maybe it's just as well
I'm never coming back
And with your sweet attack
Did my time and all that's right
And so alone I find resolve tonight

So Low
03:18
|
|||
|
Ain't it funny how
You don't think when pictures fall on the ground?
Oh, you don't know
What it does to someone when they go
Going so low now
Must get out somehow
Oh, breaking sweats
Because you lost what you thought was a safe bet
All you do for yourself
Will be put right back on your shelf
Going so low now
Oh, I don't know how
No say until the final show
You get to take it with you everywhere you go
Pay mind towards des conseils
Your loved ones donate despite their forte
Going so low now
Oh, I don't know how
So now I'm supposed to sing to you?
Like I haven't thought that through at least one thousand times
And frankly I'm perturbed
Going so low now
Oh, I don't know how

Paint By Number
02:58
|

|
Hello, I know you, I see you, but what was your name?
As I stand above you you'll know it will all be ok
Hello, I've known you, I've seen you, but what was your name?
As I stand above you you'll know it will all be ok
Take my time
Fall away
Never know
How it turns out
Gone away
Never paid
Don't waste your time, keep waiting on that line
Gone away
Had my day
Don't waste your time, keep walking that fine line
Paint by number
Carry me over
All of her myth
All her human
All of her mind
Erased

He Said, She Said
03:42
|
|||
|
Intuition of a boy
Of a year or maybe two
He had his eye on you
You with your fake blank stare
Pointed finger in the air
Authoritative, powerful
Oh but little did you know
That little boy would grow
And help you point that finger at yourself
I know all about he said, she said
It's not new to me
So let's close the book and put this to bed
And let bygones be
I never wanted you to be put through this
So put it all on me
I'll take the fall if it will serve your purpose
Because you helped me see
Because you helped me see
Always the first around
Standing up for falling down
Oh it seems you've lost your ground
It's good to see that you're so well
Never lie, but never tell
I'll always know how far you fell
Oh, and everything you've loved
Is everything you've lost
And now you just might go and lose yourself
I know all about he said, she said
It's not new to me
So let's close the book and put this to bed
And let bygones be
I never wanted you to be put through this
So put it all on me
I'll take the fall if it will serve your purpose
Because you helped me see
Because you helped me see
Oh, I see you standing there
Without a motive or a care
Always said that life's unfair
There's only so much you can blame
On those who gave your name
Oh, before you take it on yourself
I know all about he said, she said
It's not new to me
So don't talk about second chances
And don't talk about me
I never wanted you to be put through this
So put it all on me
I'll take the fall if it will serve your purpose
Because you helped me see
Because you helped me see

On Your Way (High Hopes)
03:37
|
|||
|
Hey, you're on your way
Gone on your way to conquer the world someday
Hey, you're on your way
With your luck you'll fuck your whole world someday
And I know that I'm not crazy
For thinking about you now
I spend most of my time thinking
But it's the thoughts that bring me down
Still in my way
High hopes....
Hey, you're on your way
Down on your knees you suck your world dry in a day
Hey, you're on your way
In a way I wish you'd still be here today
And I know that I'm not crazy
For thinking about you now
I spend most of my time thinking
But it's the thoughts that bring me down
Still in my way
High hopes....
Ruined my day, you ruined my day.....

Troubled Times
03:46
|
|||
|
You say you're alright
But are you, my friend?
You've stolen my line
You must've needed it then
Keep taking your time
You might lost it again
And your hands are tied
But not in the end
To you I'll give the few things
I've chosen not to keep
And you will not much like me
If I don't get some sleep
So I'll just move along then
The only way that I know how
And though I never knew the meaning
I am starting to see now...you're right
Oh, I think about dying
But dying won't do me no good
Yeah, I know your kind
Yes I know what you are
And I don't have the time
To let you get very far
So now you see why
There's nowhere to run
The day passed you by
Your day in the sun
So baby, stop your crying
Because your life is filled with love
And I guess I'll just stop trying
Because it's never good enough
And if I ever do come back
From these troubled times I've had
I'll be sure to let you know
So you can take another stab...at me
Oh, I think about dying
But dying won't do me no good

The Open Book
04:38
|
|||
|
She came through the back door
With a warm embrace
I hadn't yet realized
She'd invaded my space
I'll lean on the wall
For some moral support
And I'll look straight ahead
For a woman to court
A woman to court, a woman to court
I'll support her and court her and give her my fort
I've given much thought
To opening up
Opening up
And filling my cup
A meditation too strong
For one man to see
My old friend, he's made it
Why can't that be me?
Why can't that be me, why can't that be me?
I'll sit here and wonder until I am free
I opened my book
And began to read
And I lifted it up
For the old man to see
I often wonder
What will become of me
Will I grow old?
Will I grow old?
