Arrow
The clock is ticking on the table in my room
Funny how the time just slips away
An ordinary simple man
Who's lost a little piece of something
Hold my breath and close my eyes
Say a little prayer
Here we go again hello
I didn't see the end and so the story goes
How can I be cool?
I always play the fool
I need a shot of love
Look an arrow through the heart
My mind is open to the page of yesterday
Isn't it a crime how love can go
I always knew there would come a day
When silence played the king of pain
So I close my eyes and hold my breath
And contemplate a change
Here we go again hello
I didn't see the end and so the story goes
How can I be cool?
I always play the fool
I need a shot of love
Like an arrow through the heart
I have my faith in life
I know the truth inside
This time I swear it's gonna be better

Cheap Little Thrill
Superstar girl in a strange little world, exit on hustle made for two
Rock n' roll colossal, makin' such a fuss oh
Candy on a million dollar bill
Chorus
I want to know if you
Be got a strange fascination and some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation for a
Cheap little thrill
Expressionistic space suit, exit from the parachute
The planet is a candle in a box
I'm swingin' from the grapevine, runnin' through the stop sign
Won't you show me yours, I'll show you mine
I want to know if you've got a strange fascination and some time to kill
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation for a
Cheap little thrill
I know you've got a strange desperation and I'll stay until
We can blow up the minds of the old congregation for a
Cheap little thrill
A cheap little thrill, a cheap little thrill
I know you've got a strange fascination for a
Cheap little thrill

Deep Dark Secret
You were coming down, I saw the look, a beggar's frown you hit the floor like a gun, words on your tongue
Would not make a sound
Too late to think about a new tomorrow,
All of mother's help has gone away
Chorus
Crash through the world you let it slip, trying to explain it all away
But that deep dark secret just won't go away
Now after all these years still there are people and places you fear echoes inside of a girl, who lost herself, I wish you were here
The past shot like a bullet full of sorrow
Memories they don't ever seem to fade
Crash through the world you let it slip, trying to explain it all away
But that deep dark secret just won't go away
Solo
Time to think about a new tomorrow, silence gets you through another day
Crash through the world you let it slip trying to explain it all away
But that deep dark secret just won't go away,
Oh no yeh that deep dark secret just won't go away, hey hey that deep dark secret just won't go away
Go away

How Did I Give Myself Away
You walked in like a goddess
I'm good like I don't notice
Wrapped up in all the trimmings
I stopped my tongue from spilling
My insides inside out
So how, how, how is it possible
To spy my private eye
How, how, how could it be so criminal
Inside your dirty mind
I hid my heart away with my little masquerade
How did I give myself away
I'm high on Cleopatra
Too high to climb the ladder up
A slave to circumstances
I watched you from a distance
I thought you'd never know how far I wanna go
To spy my private eye
How, how, how could it be so criminal
Inside your dirty mind
I hid my heart away with my little masquerade
How did I gibe myself away
Solo
I never felt so busted
My insides inside out
How do you see me now

I Don't Want To Be Happy
I married my high school drama queen
She pulled the curtains over me
Then it was I now pronounce you a one act fool
I've been sitting here wishing for my pot of gold
And my ship to come on in
But the motherlode is just another load of shit that I've been sinking in
Say goodbye to greener pastures, living happy ever after
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
That's why I'm with you
Now it's Oprah and Sally and how the world turns
And the big time money that I'll never earn
When only the sun goes down the party's over
If misery loves company
Then, baby you and I were meant to be
Tomorrow's turning out to be a beautiful day, yeah
Say goodbye to greener pastures, living happy ever after
I don't wanna be happy
So what if I'm blue
I'm not looking for a change
I'm keeping my old shoes
I don't wanna be happy
That's why I'm with you
Solo
We settle for poor connection
Got it down to imperfection

Lost In America
Silent voices close their minds and hide
Behind their secret gardens
Welcome to the age of rage
And everybody's high on something Run, see Jack run
With all the little piggies in a row
They come, They go
Does anyone five a damn
Who I am or where I'm going
I an your favorite some come undone
Lost in America
Suck your poison, throw your rhymes
And wait for something bad to happen
Stand behind your middle finger
Cool to kill is still in fashion
Run, see Jack run
With all the little piggies in a row
They come, they go
Does anyone give a damn
Who I am or where I 'm going
I am your favorite son come undone
Lost in America
Here in the wasteland
No one's as sane as everyone else
And there'll be hell to pay one fine day

Mary Go'round
You're out the window
Your head is heading south
Under a constant cloud
That rains on your parade
Her wings have broken
Your fall from grace
No words are spoken
She invades your space
She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside sown
You just can't help but love her
Cause everything's better
When Mary goes 'round
Her eyes are legend
An infectious mystery
A silent melody
That works into the skin
You can't imagine
You're forever changed
In Mary's innocence
It's a brand new day
She comes in every color
To paint your sad face upside down
You just can't help but love her
'Cause everything's better
When Mary goes 'round

Nothing Like It In The World
Love is a stranger you didn't plan on
Turns you to a victim or a volunteer
It can disappear like a rose in a garden
There's nothing like it in the world
You can swear to God that it's over
Tell a clipped heart to play dead
There's no way to stop looking over your shoulder
There's nothing like it in the world
There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly
I know for sure, 'cause I've been there before
There's nothing like it in the world
Somewhere in a smile there's an invitation
Calling you back into the dance
You can't deny such a high from a beautiful moment
There's nothing like it in the world
There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothing like a dream where you learn how to fly
I know for sure, 'cause I've been there before
There's nothing like it in the world
Solo
There's nothing like the weight when it's lifted
There's nothhing like a dream where you learn how to fly
With no compromise
I now for sure, cause I've been there before
There's nothing like it in the world

One World Away
Everything is always changing even in a world that stays the same
Breakin' heavy hearts are shaken, All the lonely people live the game
He waits for her, she waits for him, they wait for anyone
And another day begins
Chorus
People rushin' everywhere, never any time to care
Us and them and me and you, pilling up so much to do
All the colors start to fade to gray, an ordinary day is just
One world away
Try to five them what they want, You're stuck inside that same old state of grace
All we are all we seem, a noisy dream inside a quiet place
I wait for her, she waits for him, he waits for anyone
And another day begins
People rushin' everywhere, never any time to care
Us and them and me and you, pilling up so much to do
All the colors start to fade to gray, an ordinary day is just
One world away
Repeat chorus

Shine
I never really feel quite right and I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive
Tell me how you do it, walk me through it, I'll follow in every footstep
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was lookin' for
When you look at through me, you really knew me, no one
Has ever looked before
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( I know , I know, know you got somethin' )
Shine, ( shine it on me ) shine down on me ( I want to feel it )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
Solo
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me ( just show me something )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( you give me something that I've never known )
Shine ( if you could show me the way ) shine down on me ( I want to know what's going on in your life )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( don't you know I want you to )
Shine, shine down on me, Shine on this life that's burnin' out

Suffocation
I'm waitin' for the someone, just beyond the pale, where everybody's little
Thing is up for sale
An information bonfire, I'm twistin' while I wait and now I'm temptin' fate
24-7-365, Japandemonium is still alive
Praying like a sinner, croked with the blues,
Lost all there is to lose
Chorus
Can't hear, can't see, can't touch too much temptation
Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation - I'm fightin' suffocation
Suffocation
Traffic of the mind.
Fast forward and rewind, sometimes your clothes don't seem to fit
Frown becomes a smile, a man becomes a child
The fan is gonna hit the shit
Heaven on earth will cost you what it's worth, you'll find it anywhere you dare
Spin the tale donkey, I wonder how you sleep
Jump up your fight for the air
Chorus
Solo
I'm hangin' too much rope in shadows and the smoke
Turns blue up in the sky
Packin' all my stuff, way too much is not enough, who's got the
Most and then you die
Can't hear, can't see, can't feel my frustration
Too high to breath, to believe in transformation
Can't come, can't go too slow, suffocation
Too high to breathe, to believe in my own liberation, there's too much population
Stop the world, I'm jumpin' off, I'm fightin' suffocation
Suffocation

Wake Up
You go to school with your head held down
You try to fit in but they push your out
Too many people put your face in the ground
You'll get them back you'll get them
Even if you gotta wait it out the rage is out
And you feel like you're worthless
When you're breakin' down
No one's around there's gotta be somethin' better than this
You wanna feel like you're livin'
Chorus
Wake up wake up son it's just a voice in your head
Get up get up tell 'em what you should have said
I know they get to ya but you got a future
Don't let 'em take you done
Wake up wake up boy you're gonna live again
You think an attitude can make you cool
Sick and tired of being everyone's fool
You think daddy's gun is gonna erase all the scars and the pain
But you better weigh it out don't ever doubt
In one moment your life can change
It's easy now to live it down
You say you feel like a number now
But you're more than a number
Bridge
You can waste your time try to
Find someone to blame and let it out
But all you need to hear is everything is gonna be fine

Crawl Over Me
Crawlin' is the place you have been,
When you're crawlin'
When you crawl, crawl over me,
Euphoria is her name, she's so good, she's almost bad,
She is almost mad
Sweet misery is a game that conceals, the benediction
A cruel conviction
Have you ever been a child, have you ever faked a smile
When you crawl,
Crawl over me, you're back on your knees again,
right where you've always been, crawl over me
Where's your pride, you're on the ground
Crawl over me
Since the alchemy plays the cards that she deals,
She lets me see what I want to see
Have you ever been afraid, have you ever lied to get laid
When you crawl, crawl over me, you're back on your knees again,
Right where you've always been, crawl over me, where's your pride, you're
on the ground
Have you ever been alone, stare into the great unknown, you
want too suffer so you can feel, you can't buy so ypu have to steal
Was I ever in your plans, will I ever understand?
Crawl over me, crawl over me, crawl over me, you're back on your knees
again, right where you've
Always been
Crawl over me, where's your pride, you're on the ground, crawl over me
