Music

In a different city in a different world
We were running ‘round
And that was when we heard music
What we had in common where we thought we’re going
In a misty morning
Just overflowing with music
On the answering machine there’s a familiar voice so easily recognized
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
And I’ll be there
Music on the windscreen of my dreams
Music in the dark end of the street
Every time there’s music
It’s gonna be all or nothing at all
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
And I’ll be there
You can breathe it in you can breathe it out
When you're out for the count
I'll stick around like music
They say what you do is coming back to you
With a different view it’s all connected
When the dots projected through music
On the wave of notes we ride
And live forever through a melody
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
And I’ll be there

Reason To Be Reasonable
03:50
|
|||
In the evening, lost in conversation without deliberation
We're like windmills, never learned the lesson of this passive aggression
We have a lot of common ground now
But I'm still addicted to your know-how
You have no reason to be reasonable
I have no reason to be terrible
And though it's getting kind of comical
We're gonna get it back babe
We're gonna make it happen!
In the morning when I don't wanna wake up and you don't wanna make up
It begins to dawn on me, if we fuck it up completely, I still recall it fondly
Lost on the highway route to nowhere
But let’s enjoy it 'til we get there!
You have no reason to be reasonable
I have no reason to be terrible
And though it's getting kind of comical
We're gonna get it back babe,
We're gonna make it happen!
Ooo, they say you don't choose, you just know
Ooo, I always knew, hate to say I told you so
Sometimes I hate to love you though but I love you so
When we're older, stare into the fire, our limbs worn out and tired
I don't wanna fight you baby, we'll always stay connected, no point trying to reject it
Maybe by then we both have found out
That this is it! It's for life!
You have no reason to be reasonable
I have no reason to be terrible
And though it's getting kind of comical
We're gonna get it back babe
We're gonna make it happen!

Drama King
03:46
|
|||
Been a saint, been a sinner
Been a punk, been a rebel
Been a fool, been a smart-ass
I was your friend, now I’m a stranger
I’m a Drama King
Baby! I’m not half the man that I could be when you’re not next to me
Gotta work through the pain
To a stale yesterday
I’ve been blind, I’ve been tortured
From dot to dot, from us to nowhere
I’m a drama king,
Baby! I’m not half the man that I could be when you’re not next to me
Drama, drama, drama king
Drama, drama, drama king
Drama, drama, drama king
Drama, drama, drama

Rusty Nail
03:05
|
|||
I can’t stop, forgot
Now it’s nothing but a, a hard knot
I keep thinking of it
I can’t stop and now it’s all my life
I knew something but it’s all wrong
I had answers but they’re all gone
But I keep working on it
I can’t stop and now it’s all my life
I keep getting that rusty nail again all the time
I had dreams I had dreams where I wanna be
All my life
I never knew how much it meant to me
All the time
I had dreams I had dreams where I wanna be
All my life
A self taught, soft spot
Now I know I tried it full stop
Didn’t know about it but I know I like it all my life
I’m tangled up now I know its never just black or white
I can’t stop now, its gonna be all my life

Endless Reruns
03:31
|
|||
When the ocean never ends
Meets a blue sky just like heaven
You know it's just a haven for your dreams
And so, it's never really all it seems
Red turns into blue
Green just want bleed through
Guess you'll have to do without it
When old lovers stay best friends
Life’s on tap, a bird ascending
You know it's just a story seldom told
Good poetry sometimes make out with frauds
I believed in you
What else could I do?
Now I have to do without it
The naive stands prosecuted
If there's truth it's soon diluted
Run for shelter when the earth quakes
Build a fortress round your heartbreak
Still the waves comes crashing in
Sun set for the new beginning
Looks like luck is one thing ourselves can't choose
But it’s likely hope's the last thing that we lose
Red turns into blue
Pink comes bleeding through
Might as well just live and love it
This is all there is
That is all there was
I am up for endless reruns
(Equal all in love and loved ones)
I am up for endless reruns

Idiosyncrasy
02:48
|
|||
Behind the wall of modesty
Comes the sound of my poetry
I call out twisted lies,
Words that rhyme
Life is a waste of time in your state of mind
Got a tremendous ability,
A narcissistic ebriety
I’m too vain to be insane
It’s not you, it’s not you it’s me Idiosyncrasy
Live to let myself free
Egocentricity
Superficially I’m all that matters to me
Hear me laugh like a maniac
When I glide through the cul de sac
I stab a hole in the everyday
With the needle from a haystack
Step aside my borderline
It’s not you, it’s not you it’s me Idiosyncrasy
Live to let myself free
Egocentricity
What you think of me is all the same to me
Idiosyncrasy
Got my Skeleton key
Egocentricity
Superficially I’m all that matters to me

Out of Nowhere
04:02
|
|||
Pull your dress on cause were going out, going out out of nowhere into something
Hurry up now cause it’s time to go, time to go out of nowhere into something
Up and around the bend
Out of our heads again
See it in my sleep
I can’t explain it, can’t explain it
I know I want you, to know what I’m on to
There’re a thousand things we need to do we need to see
Out of nowhere, into something
Up and around the bend
Out of our heads again
Let’s go looking for it
Hard to see hard to find
Let’s go looking for it
We got nothing but time
Call it what you want it’s always better than it sounds
Just remember everybody needs to go out
Out of nowhere into something
Out of nowhere into something
In the city we’ve been hanging out and running ‘round
A humble beginning, the bubble we’ve been in
If it’s going wrong it’s something we can call our own
On to something out of nothing
Up on the swing again
Look it is happening

Simple Song of Sin
05:09
|
|||
Light is fading, winter is calling, summer is falling down
Autumn shape my senses sharp
Like I'm feeling, all of the people, all that is painful now
And it's making this so hard
What if the song I'm singing just pretends?
Wrapped around the finger of contempt
But I'm gonna change that tune
This shtick is wearing thin
It's my voice
You dial and dig in
Your choice
A Simple Song of Sin
All the days that builds to a lifetime looks swell in hindsight but
Struggles in the present tense
Eyes wide open, all that you see can be hard to carry through
Into imagination
Shadows growing taller every night
Self-reflection smaller and uptight
But I'm gonna drop that look
This shtick is wearing thin
It's my voice
You dial and dig in
Your choice
A Simple Song of Sin
When you're restless and easily upset it's hard
You forget to remember to forget
What if the song you're singing just pretends?
It's not even beginning and it never ends?
But I'm gonna change my tune
This shtick is wearing thin
It's my voice,
You dial and dig in
Your choice
A Simple Song of Sin
But I'm gonna drop that look
This shtick is wearing thin
It's my voice,
You dial and dig in
Your choice
A Simple Song of Sin

A Week-End
03:39
|
|||
A broken glass in a swimming pool
A fall in a dying afternoon
A breath on one last cigarette
You leave me scrolling on your telephone
Fading footsteps down the stairs
Trembling branches in the air
A whisper in a megaphone
We’re only good for a weekend
Through a gap in a broken wall
Half asleep in a new-built mall
Like Charles Darwin in a Disney world
I spot you scrolling on your telephone
You lick your gums, you itch your cheek
I’m moving back to the exit
The sun beats down on the city street
We’re only good for a weekend
Only good
Only good for a weekend
Only good, only good
We're only good for a weekend
A broken glass in a swimming pool
A fall in a dying afternoon
A breath on one last cigarette

On The Brink
04:12
|
|||
On the brink of my eternity
A well I almost fall into
I've been thinking 'bout what's called destiny
And the things you never do
I've been trying hard, yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard to do them too
Like the things you never told me then
Did you try too hard to please?
Did you ask yourself; "what if and when?"
Did it fly off in the breeze?
I've been trying hard, yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard to catch those dreams
These things matter more than we know
These dreams send us to the stars
This life is the only one and
Your luck is my guide
In the hour of our confession
In the times we fear the most
We get judged beyond dimension
for our silly little faults
I've been trying hard, yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard to make it right
These things matter more than we know
These dreams send us to the stars
This life is the only one and
Your luck is my guide
We all carry guilt and burdens
So a back gets crooked and bent
And we rarely never mention
The forgiveness, heaven-sent
I've been trying hard, yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard to let it in
