Jet Lag

I took my car to the junkyard
Just to see what they could do
She’s got the shag-shag
Above the price tag
And she was born in ‘72
What about you (what about you)
What have you done for me lately (what have you done)
What about us (what about us)
What have I done for you to save me (what have I done)
What about them (what about 'em)
Or should we really even care (oh no oh no)
And what about him
Baby baby don’t do it again
We closed the bar at the truck yard
Drank the whole night through
We cruised the main drag
And burned the jet lag
And we were breaking all the rules
What about you (what about you)
What have you done for me lately (what have you done)
What about us (what about us)
What have I done for you to save me (what have I done)
What about them (what about 'em)
Or should we really even care (oh no oh no)
And what about him
Baby baby don’t do it again
She took my heart to the ocean
Just to see if it would float
She dropped it in the deep
To watch it quickly sink
And that was all she wrote
What about you
What have you done for me lately
What about us
What have I done for you to save me
Oh what about you (what about you)
What have you done for me lately (what have you done)
What about us (what about us)
What have I done for you to save me (what have I done for you to hate me)
Should we really even care
What about him
Baby baby don’t do it again
Baby baby don't do it again
Baby baby
Baby baby
Baby baby baby baby baby owww

Chemistry

Late one night working at the station
I didn't have a ride home
My eyes creaked looking for someone
Not sure I chose the right one
Lady in a black Cadillac
With a black cat on her lap
She said "You can get a ride on one condition"
Before I heard the rest I hopped on in
I don't have a clue
Or a ride home
27 miles
If I walk it alone
Slid down my seat and she pushed me over
Grabbed the wheel, looks like I'll be the one
Driving us on this expedition
Oh no, what is to come
She said I need you to take me down to the lake
and there's a man
I need you to get me to his station
If you know what I'm saying I said
I don't have a clue
You’re my ride home
27 miles
If I walk it alone
You and me have chemistry
The man at the lake will take it away from me
Just close your eyes, then repeat after me
Go ahead and drive
Oh I figured I would take my chances
I hope I don't regret it
Try not to take it away
I can't seem to let it go
I don't have a clue
Oh you're my ride home
27 miles
If I walk it alone
If I walk it alone
You're my ride home
27 miles
Actually it's 43.45 kilometers

I peak my head above the clouds
But it might be fog
I’m standing high above the crowd
I’m not that tall (I'm not that tall)
On your mark get set are you ready
My bare feet touch the open sea
And it’s not that cold (it's not that cold)
My arms stretched out like a tree
Watch the shade unfold (the shade unfold)
On your mark get set are you ready
On your mark get set are you ready
Here we go now
I got the know-how
Try to show ‘em all I'm ready for the breakdown
Here we go now
I got the know-how
Try to show ‘em all I'm ready for the breakdown
(Can’t always say) what you wanna say
(Can’t always sing) what you wanna sing
(Can’t always do) what are you gonna do
(Can’t always sing) what you wanna sing
(Can’t always do) whatcha gonna do
You be me and I’ll be you
I crane my neck to the sky
But I don’t have wings
She wants my heart black and blue
Filled with pretty things (with pretty things)
On your mark get set are you ready
They push my back against the wall
Never to be free (never to be free)
They count my words and syllables
In conspiracy (two three four)
On your mark get set are you ready
On your mark get set are you ready
Here we go now
I got the know-how
Try to show ‘em all I'm ready for the breakdown
Here we go now
I got the know-how
Try to show ‘em all I'm ready for the breakdown
(Can’t always say) what you wanna say
(Can’t always sing) what you wanna sing
(Can’t always do) what are you gonna do
(Can’t always sing) what you wanna sing
(Can’t always do) whatcha gonna do
You be me and
I’ll be you
No I’ll be you and
You'll be me
No I’ll be me and
You be you
Yeah
Woo-hooo

Girl U Want
02:56

She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
It drips on down in a mist from above
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
You hear her calling everywhere you turn
You know you're headed for the pleasure burn
But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
She's the real thing but you knew it all along
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
Look at you with your mouth watering
Look at you with your mind spinnin'
Why don't we just admit it's all over
She's just the girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
She thinks she's the passionate one
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
Look at you with your mouth watering
Look at you with your mind spinnin'
Why don't we just admit it's all over
She's just the girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want

Tightline

It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
Staring through the sunlight
Up into the moonlight
A little too long
Speaking outta her mind
More than a few times
Coming out all wrong
Walking on a tightline
Dancing to the sideline
Says she’s just kidding
Really it's beginning
Dodge another landmine
Shining through the sun rays
Waking for rainy days
A little too long
Faster than tidal waves
Crashing down ocean spray
Coming out all wrong
Dodge another landmine
Dancing on the sideline
Says she’s just kidding
Really it’s beginning
Walking on a tightline
A bird without feathers
It falls from the sky
Each second of the day
Passing her by
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
Staring in the sunlight
Up into the moonlight
A little too long (just a little too long)
Speaking outta her mind
More than a few times
Coming out all wrong
Dodge another landmine
Dancing on the sideline
Dodge another landmine
Walking on a tightline
Says she’s just kidding
Really it’s beginning
Walking on a tightline
Dodge another landmine
Dancing on the sideline
It's a matter of time
You know
She's gonna say
It's a matter of time (it's a matter of time)
Before you go
Dodge another landmine
Dancing on the sideline
Dodge another landmine
Walking on a tightline
It's a matter of time

Snakes

Come down from the trees
They’re begging you please
Out here in the streets
Where men lie and preach
No no no
Up here in the trees
Where I feel so free
Down there in the streets
Where men lie and bleed
No no no
Hey you with that song
You could do us no harm
Hey sing us a song
That can do us no wrong
Sing along
Sing along
Adrift in the seas
With floating debris
Sails catching no breeze
Winds stale with disease
No no no
Hear rattles and shakes
Surrounded by snakes
Skins remain the same
And they'll shift the blame
No no no
Hey you with that song
You could do us no harm
Hey sing us a song
That could do us no wrong
Dance along
Dance along
Sing along
Hey
Dance along
Sing along
Hey
Dance along
Sing along

She Laughs
01:54

She laughs she laughs
Round the raspberry bush
In white today
She loves she loves
To pull the strings of my heart
So tight today
I’m into her garden
Maybe she’ll pardon
The looseness of my ways
She smiles she smiles
At the slightest idea
So bright today
She sings she sings
Like the angels above
So high today
I’m into her garden
Maybe she’ll pardon
The looseness of my ways
Shoo be do wap
Shoo be do wap
Shoo be do wap wap wap wap wap
Shoo be do wap
Shoo be do wap
Shoo be do wap wap wap wap wap
She laughs she laughs
Round the blueberry bush
In white today
She loves she loves
To pull the strings of my heart
So tight today
And everyday
I’m into her garden
Maybe she’ll pardon
The looseness of my ways
I’m into her garden
Maybe she’ll pardon
The looseness of my ways

She wakes up to the sound of rain
Pattering vibrations
Roll over to the other side
Still can’t open her eyes
With all her heart a laughing start
The only way she decides
One by one over the edge of the bed
Sweep those dreams away
This time
You know you want it
But what you need
Keeps movin' on
This time
You know I got it
But one by one it keeps passing on
She looks surprised with champagne eyes
Bubbling persuasion
Falling asleep staring at a screen
Digital dreaming haze
Step by step we’re not running yet
Slow imagination
Through the glass shining back
The alarm resets the day
With all her heart a laughing start
The only way she decides
One by one over the edge of the bed
Sleep those dreams away
This time (this time time time time)
You know you want it
But what you need (what you need)
Keeps movin' on (moving on moving on moving on)
This time (this time time time time)
You know I got it
But one by one it keeps passing on
Ohoh
This time (this time time time time)
You know you want it
But what you need (what you need)
Keeps movin' on (moving on moving on moving on)
This time (this time time time time)
You really got it
But one by one it keeps passing on
Ohoh

No Friend

Baby I’m back
Where you been
It's been so long
Since we’ve been friends
But true or false you've been letting go
Days gone by
Clouds are blue
The city sky
Is a pink balloon
Can you move through this fault of mine
Can you move past this heart of mine
Baby I'm back
To take you home
Been everywhere
Around the world
In search of hope I'm not letting it go
Letting it go
Weeks gone by
Walking slow
F-Freezing time
Like 1'F below
Can you move through this fault of mine
This fault of mine
Can you move past this love of mine
Baby I’m back where you been
(Baby I'm back where you been)
Baby I'm back where you been
(Baby I'm back where you been)
It's been so long
Since we've been friends
So can we start
All over again

Hesitate
02:17

|
Up we go down the road
Take it fast never slow
Try to turn watch it burn
Never learn and now I'm
Leaning sideways
Flying down the highway
Days ago self control
Had it right let it go
Turned around hit aground
Spiraled down and now I'm
Falling forward
Fighting for an answer
Give take wide-awake
Tree's gonna shake
Baby how much longer
Can I make this mistake
I don't wanna hesitate
I can't seem to keep it straight
I don't wanna hesitate
Don't wanna wait
Hit the flame hydroplane
Crossing lanes supertrain
Falling fast never last
Til I crash but now I'm
Rushing forward
Crushing toward the finish
Hip-shake rattlesnake
Making a break
Baby how much longer
Can I make this mistake
I don't wanna hesitate
I can't seem to keep it straight
I don't wanna hesitate
I don't wanna wait
Come on
Come on
Come on
I don't wanna hesitate
I can't seem to keep it straight
I don't wanna hesitate
I can't seem to play it safe
I don't wanna hesitate
I can't seem to keep it straight
I don't wanna hesitate

Outta Control
03:17

Walking on the wrong side of the tracks
With a twisted nose
And a monkey on her back
I've got to go and get away
From all the wasted days ahead and I
Pick it up and put it all back
With a scalding face
And a sizzling stare
Saying I've got to chose a different way
And you know I've got to get away
Way-oh you know
It's a mile to go
Away we go
Before it gets outta control
Walking on the other side of the fence
Tried to find his way back
While he’s losing his stance
Carried some hope you know he couldn’t wait
Now he has to set it straight
He took the stack and tried to put it back
With a broken smile
And a wobbly chair
Sit and think of all the ways he could have
Spent those wasted days oh well yeah
Way-oh you know
It's a mile to go
Away we go
Before it gets outta control
Look into the circle and take it back
Stuck inside the spiral
Playing his favorite track
Saying I've got to go and get away
All the wasted days ahead and I say
Way-oh you know
It's a mile to go
Away we go
Before it gets outta control
And I say
(Away away we go)
You know
It's a mile to go
(Away away we go we go)
Before it gets outta control
It's a mile to go
Away you go
Before it gets outta control
Outta control
Outta control
Outta control

Come Undone
04:34

I made the move now
What else can I do
To tell you the truth
This dagger feels like
It's twisting right through
What's left to prove now
What else can I do
It's really not fair
That you determine
When I disappear
Wait a minute
What's the limit
Let me finish
Come undone (Come undone)
Damage done (Come undone)
Come undone (Come undone)
Damage done (Come undone)
Actually there were so many questions
But the truth has always resided before
And let's be clear here
It has a way of shoving itself directly in the face of the past
Before we find our way onto the next revelation
Let's say
This story turns a different light
From red to pink to violet night
These pages turn all on their own
This book is not a place called home
Not a place called home
Side-stepped your simple sabotage
Your spots are clear no camouflage
I take revenge all on my own
This siphoning will bring me home
It will bring me home
Wait a minute
What's the limit
Let me finish
Come undone (Come undone)
Damage done (Come undone)
Come undone (Come undone)
Damage done (Come undone)
Now with so much disorientation and wonder
The facts have become disarrayed
Elaboration less specific
Open your heart they say
But more importantly open your ears
We were listening attentively
All we heard was
Come undone (Come undone)
Damage done (Come undone)
Come undone (Come undone)
Damage done (Come undone)
A consistent rotation leads to circumstance
Intensity increases
Imagine the complexity
The sense to divulge your experiences
The first
The last
The marginal in-between
What matters are all the right moments we accept as our own
