Money Back

This golden parade
I bought a ticket to, and so did you
But we never knew
The invitations don't say
This ball is a masquerade
Now I'm wondering who played who
You don't have to be so kind
But if you wouldn't mind
I think I want my money back
I think I want my freedom back
I think I want my money back
I want it back, just give it back
Now that I've been around
I've seen the entire show, and now I know
Why I had to go
Once I finally learned all I could live without
I walked right through that door
I guess I should have seen the signs
But if you wouldn't mind
I think I want my money back
I think I want my freedom back
I think I want my innocence back
My childhood back, just give it back
I think I want my money back
I think I want my freedom back
I think I want my money back
I want it back, just give it back
And all this time
I was promised I'd be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
You got to be somebody, be somebody

Turn Out The Lights

Downtown's burnin'
I see the reflection on the waterline
And everybody tells me it's all in my mind
Enemy jets on my radar screen
I think I need a benzodiazepine
'Cuz the wrong train keeps on runnin' right on time
Right on time
Church bells ringin', I hear the devil on my radio
The nice man in the white coat tells me it's time to go, let's go
'Cuz all the little drummer boys and girls
They don't see what I see in the world
Well, I guess that every coalmine needs its canary...
So you don't have to tell me twice
I think I'll call it an early night
Would the last one to leave the party turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

She's drawing castles with colored pencils
On sheets of typing paper spread across the kitchen floor
This is her beautiful soul, this is her story being told
But you never notice, you just shrug your shoulders again
All that you've taken for granted, what the hell could you be thinking of?
You shouldn't need me to tell you that that ain't love
If you don't even know her at all
If you don't even know her
If you don't even know her at all
If you don't, if you don't
If you don't even know her at all
If you don't even know her
If you don't even know her at all
Don't even know
I'm sure you think that you've done nothing wrong
But it won't be very long before she hurts you, she really hurts you
She's just another box you check on your list of things to do
But all the flowers and rings, they won't save you
'Cuz you don't even know her at all
'Cuz you don't even know her
'Cuz you don't even know her at all
No you don't, no you don't
No you don't even know her at all
No you don't even know her
No you don't even know her at all
Couldn't see, couldn't see the day comin'
The best of plans, the best of plans undone
Very soon you'll be learning that lesson
You've only just begun
'Cuz you don't even know
You don't even know

Feel the world crash down around you as she runs away
But you know I know it's just another temporary heartbreak
When will you ever learn that love don't work this way
But you know I know it's just another temporary heartbreak
You rush headlong into the sun
Looking for your next sweet precious only one
So you won't feel so alone
But did you ever wonder if she's got dreams of her own
(Chorus)
It's just another temporary heartbreak
It's just another temporary heartbreak
It's just another temporary heartbreak
You say you love too much
But you don't really love at all
Sing all the love songs you want
But you're foolin' yourself, and you know that I'm not wrong
(Chorus)
Well, the pain shouldn't last too long
But the loneliness lingers on
'Cuz you live in a fairy tale

I Drink To Remember
04:45
|
|||
|
Slow me down
Don't want to run my race too soon
What I wouldn't give
For another wasted afternoon
Drinking in the basement, hiding in the trees
Holding a star in our hands
Slips like sand through my fingers
Slips like sand
We had summer suns and baseball fields
Never hearing the turn of the wheel
I know it's gone, but I must believe
It's not some long forgotten dream
So I drink to remember
I close my eyes
But I can't make out the scene
Just watching the images flicker and fade
And I know there is no sacred ground
And I'm a man without a home
Just some memories in a jewelry box
That I take wherever I go
We had summer suns and baseball fields
Never hearing the turn of the wheel
I know it's gone, but I must believe
It's not some long forgotten dream
So I drink to remember
I drink to remember

Before He Finds Out
04:54

You might think I'm here for the show
But I know secrets nobody knows, baby
I think you'd better call up your situation
I think you'd better say what it's all about
I think you'd better plan for your relocation
Before he finds out
If you need me, you've got a friend
This time we won't have to pretend, baby
Just think of the future...
I think you'd better call up your situation
I think you'd better say what it's all about
I think you'd better plan for your relocation
Before he finds out
Just think of the future
Just think of the future
Ah, let's drink to the future...

It's About Time

He was a playground king, heir to the fair position
He needed something deeper than a street sound
Down beneath the underground
Biding his time, waiting for the sunshine
Worked by whispers and candlelight
All for the glory of God and the first edition
All for the glory of God and the first edition
It's about time
To feel the rhythm you're feelin'
It's about time
To get on with what you know
It's about time
To deal, deal, deal with the real
It's about time, time, time
To steal back your soul
We all gathered round for the second coming
All the bishops and knights were close at hand
When we stepped off the plane in Vegas, he was seven stories high
The last sweet sixteenth note was his last goodbye
All for the glory of God and the first edition
All for the glory of God and the first edition

Sheena Never
04:13

So carefully thrown together
Moves from the movies, a couple of shots for the stage fright
No one knows about the shoplifted earrings
Brown eyes can make it if you play it right
Well, the secret is trying just a little too hard
Just the way all the other girls are
Feels a little like going to war
But it's this or stay home with the dirty dishes
Daddy doesn't know and Mama doesn't know
What the bright lights do
What the good girls don't
We're the voices in your head
And we hope for the best, we hope for the best for you
But you've gotta work it out
We'll keep your secrets till you're dead
Still we hope for the best, we hope for the best for you
But you've gotta work it out
Sheena Never
Always such a high-stakes situation
Dance like everybody's watching, it's the measure of your sacrifice
A front row seat to your bespoke complication
'Cuz God knows you're a veteran of thirty-five
Well, the secret is going just a little too far
Just the way you think all the other girls are
Feels familiar, like selling your soul
But it's this or stay home with your worn-down conscience
Daddy doesn't know and Mama doesn't know
What the bright lights do
What the good girls don't
We're the voices in your head
And we hope for the best, we hope for the best for you
But you've gotta work it out
We'll keep your secrets till you're dead
Still we hope for the best, we hope for the best for you
But you've gotta work it out
Sheena Never

Soothe A Savage Soul
04:14

I live my life in my worried mind
Smoking cigarettes to mark the time
Another year of rainy days without you
I hear the voices echoing into the night
What if I was wrong and you were right
I'm so tired and I've lost my way
I stumble on through another day
How can I soothe a savage soul?
How will I live when the crooked road becomes my home?
Welcome home
I don't know where to hang my coat
I don't know where to sing my song
Another aimless year alone without you
I toss and I turn but it does me no good
I never seem to do what I know I should
A man in the shadows is a ghost in the light
Help me make it through another night
Any escape is a precious sight
For the loneliest cages are the ones we build for ourselves
How can I soothe a savage soul?
How will I live when the crooked road becomes my home?
How can I soothe a savage soul?
How will I live when the crooked road becomes my home?
No welcome home

Give a softer answer
Turn away from your anger
There is no getting even
And there is nothing at all to fear
Don't let your jealousy eat you inside
Throw away your poisoned pride
'Cuz it's up to you what you make of your life
You can build your empire
But it's nothing if you don't have kindness
You can have all you want
But it's still nothing if you don't have kindness
Still you settle your scores
You want more, and still more, but I tell you for sure
Show the love every moment you can
'Cuz kindness never killed anybody
Rise above, there's healing in your hands
And kindness never killed anybody
Show the love, show the love
Show the love every moment you can
'Cuz kindness never killed anybody

Well, your people make your world go round
How may we help you, O big man among us
And your feet don't condescend to the ground
As you slide on down and mingle with the cannon fodder
And the makers of kings let you do anything you want
It may be all that it appears, but in a couple of years
It's back down to Earth with the little people
So you broke up with your girl today
There'll be three others for the big man among us
I saw fawning copy and free cocaine
Ain't gonna hear the wave crashing with your stereo headphones on
And the little people you love to thank
As they march in your parade
Their love is for real, but it's no long-term deal...
They love you
Yeah, they love you
And you know 'cuz they say love, say love, say love
Yeah, they want you
And your autograph
But in a couple of years
It's back down to Earth with the little people
When you look back on the madding crowds
That used to tremble at the big man among us
Try not to be too ashamed
'Cuz it's a human thing to get high on a stranger's kiss
They loved you
Yeah, they loved you
For a moment, for a one-night stand
Now it's only blank nostalgia
Just a memory of a sucker in the promised land

Waiting For Love is my least favorite because it's a cover...The rest of the songs are perfectly written, produced and recorded! I think this is their best album of all.
