We Wait
01:22
|

|
The tabs of time arrange our lives we wait
And all the masters pass us by we wait
I’ve seen the good I’ve seen the bad we wait
And all the sisters slip on by we wait by god
And we all try not
To look quite odd
It’s the best I’ve got
The tabs of time keep us straight we wait
And all the masters pass us by we wait

Blindfold The Fisherman
01:37

|
Blindfold the fisherman
Blindfold his son
Blindfold the fisherman
Do it just for fun
And if you wanna sideswipe the side piece
You can sign me up
Or catapult the caravan
Don’t forget me, Bub
Blindfold the fisherman
Blindfold him now
Blindfold the fisherman
He’s blind anyhow
<break>
Blindfold the fisherman
Blindfold him now
Blindfold the fisherman
He’s blind anyhow

You've Been Thinking
01:40
|
|||
|
You’ve been thinking about your future,
tuning up your backup plan
Cleaning up your bad habits,
thinking hard about your man
You’ve been thinking I’ll think when I can
You’ve been thinking all about your plan
You’ve been thinking about your future
thinking long and hard
Throwing all my stuff out the window
scatter it around the yard
You’ve been thinking I can only wish on a star
You’ve been thinking long and hard
<break>
You’ve been thinking about your future
you’re making me think too
Wonder how I can go on living
my life without you
You’ve been thinking I guess I been getting blue
You’ve been thinking I guess I’ve been thinkin’ too

You hold your head up high
I hang my head down low
People wonder why
Or act as if they know
Send me to the sons of preachers and I’ll gladly run the run
You do the things you do
cuz you’ve done the things you’ve done
<break>
I’ve got a lot to learn
You seem to know it all
Fewer hands of the broadlands
Rock bands in the hall
Heavy rebels on all the levels and the top one runs in the sun
You do the things you do
cuz you’ve done the things you’ve done

I Saw You Were Lost
01:02
|
|||
|
I saw you were lost, I saw you were lost in the snow
I knew there was no way that you would know where to go
So I painted a picture, a painting in my head of where
Of where you should go where you would know everything’s fair
I saw you were lost, I saw you were lost in your head
Looking for answers to questions that no longer meant
Anything to you
or anything to me
no nothing to no one
it’s all just so crazy
I want you to know that
whatever transpires
it’s fair
I saw you were lost, I saw you were lost in your head
I saw you were lost, I saw you were lost in your head

Change My Mind
01:52
|
|||
|
I had you, I tossed you aside
If you come back, I’ll get it right
This time this time
If you let me change my mind
I sing my song, Screw up the rhymes
I’m always wrong, I’ll get it right
This time this time
If you let me change my mind
If you let me change my mind

I’ll see you down the road
I’ll see you down the road
I’ll see you down the road
Down the road again
Down the road again
Let’s see who escapes
With the fewest scrapes
Let’s make some new mistakes
Down the road again
Down the road again
Down the road again
Down the road again
<break>
I leave the crowded room
Dumb and loud and rude
Rude and right tattooed
Down and out again
Down and out again
Down the road again
Down the road again

You found me in a time of sadness
You found me alone
I thought maybe you’d take me in
But you don’t, you don’t
I need to find a sunny spot
Where I can park
My battery is low
And it’s getting dark
So dark
I’ve been here for years and years
Through ups and downs
I’ve had my highs, I’ve had my lows
Don’t turn around
I need to find a sunny spot
Where I can park
My battery is low
And it’s getting dark
So dark

Billions of hours spent at the towers
There’s a friend that you got
and he’s not really hot about you
and your ideas on things and stuff
It’s not really awkward, I’ll sit in the soft chair
And wrestle my way
through inane conversations with you
and your ideas on things and stuff
For a minute
You were gone
For a minute who knew why
For a minute
You were gone
And for a minute so was I
I miss the hours spent at the towers
It was special in ways
that remain in a place in my heart

Please Don't Stare
01:42
|
|||
|
Please don’t stare, it breaks my heart
I’ll slice you up and I’ll say why not
You poured me drinks, sat me down on the couch
Well it could only last a minute, now I’m here on the outs
I could never be with a girl like you so
Please don’t stare whatever you do
<break>
I could never be with a girl like you so
Please don’t stare whatever you do

Alice Has Me Down
01:46
|
|||
|
There were dreams for you made
They’re further on down the line
Seeds of trees straight away
Found a sign on a mountain pine
Alice has me
Down down down down
She’s always had me
Down down down down
<break>
Alice has me
Down down down down
She’s always had me
Down down down down
Down down down down
Down down down down

I was waiting for her
She was waiting for me
Dirty Dave sought companionship
Why can’t that be more like this?
I’m kinda stuck in the rope
While Dirty Dave is filled with hope
He’s perfected his approach
He’s not afraid to go up to the finest
women on the street
One’ll stick if a million you meet
I can’t believe what I’ve missed
Why can’t that be more like this?

You were on the mend
You were kind of a friend
I really didn’t care about that
You were in the lane
You were kind of a pain
I really didn’t care about that
You were kind and lonely
And I saw it through
You were sad and homely
I knew just what to do
Now I know so much better than you
You were kind of a friend

As soon as they saw me break
They ran for higher times
And that’s their big mistake
The sand with the hand-drawn line
I’m on my time now
Don’t try moving me much more
I’ve got things to do
Yeah nothing to do before
As soon as they saw me break
They ran for higher times
And that was their big mistake
The sand with the hand-drawn line
And hide.. If that’s what you want
As soon as they saw me break
They ran for higher times
As soon as they saw me break
They ran for higher times
As soon as they saw me break
They ran for higher times

A New Bird
01:43
|
|||
|
We want them to see
what we want them to be
But they cannot open their eyes
When they take just a peek
they see just how weak
They are with open eyes
But now’s the time
to spread their wings and fly
Of course they might fall
or fly into a wall
It’s what a new bird does
We want them to see
what we want them to be
To be what never was
But now’s the time
to spread their wings and fly

Let It Be Dark
02:07
|

|
The blind man makes a wonderful friend
He’s neither at the start nor the end
The journey’s his and only his
He sees the world as a series of bends
Let it be dark for awhile
Let it be dark for awhile
Let it be dark for awhile
But keep your eye on the light
Let it be dark for awhile
Let it be dark for awhile
Let it be dark for awhile
But keep your eye on the light

Hum That Song We Love
02:26
|

The night came quickly
Followed by the day
Then the night came quickly again
The tears came quickly
Followed by the laughs
Then the tears came quickly again
Yeah, that’s when I needed
I needed you the most
When I most needed a friend
<break>
The rain came quickly
Followed by the sun
Then the rain came quickly again
Yeah, that’s when I needed
I needed you the most
When I most needed a friend
<break>
If it goes too long
and it goes all wrong
Look around for the thing that fits like a glove
You might choose
the first thing you see
But if it’s up to me, you’ll hum that song we love
But if it’s up to me, you’ll hum that song we love

You Know Where To Look
01:22
|
|||
|
Before you form a party
Stretch the paper bag
Before you get all surly
Yeah don’t do that
Before you lead us all to the end
Before you lead us all around the bend
You know where to look
I’m in my room

Dirty Daughter Of Hell
01:06
|
|||
|
You dirty son of heaven
You deliver what everyone sells
You reeled me in with an empathy grin
You and that dirty daughter of hell
We all defend our habits
I’m no different when I silently yell
Snakes on the apron awaken the matron
And that dirty daughter of hell
You had me laughing when you promised it all
You performed oh so well
A home with love and purpose and strength
You dirty daughter of hell

Are You Mine?
01:51
|
|||
|
Did you write my name
When we played that game
I swore I wouldn’t mind
I’d always be this kind
Just let me know this time
Are you mine?
Have you got my back
Like I’ve got your back
This is our chance to shine
Everything’s so fine.
Just let me see the sign
Are you mine?

Parents Of The Blind

Be the man that you love every day girl
Be the sound that you hear ringing in your ears
How do you think you would do
On another planet tonight
Wanna see what you did
Review the tape
Parents of the blind, don’t have half a mind
Choppers in a line, a sign of the times
