If you've notice, I've lost control again Though I seem quite calm. I am holding my breath. O I could show you clues and artifacts. We're all needing more proof. We can't leave it up to chance. I'm gonna give you the keys. So you can come and go as you please. I'm gonna give you my love, Your the one that I trust, The only one I'm thinking of. I might blow this, I might have to wait. For someone like you to roll by This time I'll bargain for more of the take my word for it. I'm a soldier for you. Singing anthems of way. Am I putting you in the mood?

Late Last Night, You saw Long Island's Daughter, be a deadly attacker, the one you sought after. You were riled up, riled to the core, She'd only leave you wanting more. O what a slight, you almost had her. then you changed your mind, god you're such a disaster. You were riled up, Riled to the core, She'd only leave you wanting more. Late Last Night. So Let me ride, Ride out to meet ya. In a car or a steed, Like some cure for a disease. you were riled up, riled to the core. She'd always leave to wanting more. Yeah you were riled but you'd both been there before. I was born out of the eye of the storm. Late Last Night.

Little Bunny 02:46
I feel like starting With a shot and a beer Just to have the courage to be here. So I call my friends I call my family They say, Little bunny, Quit your gambling They say Little bunny you know you’d have more money if you Quit the drinking and the drugging. Or I’ll feel like garbage gum on the soles of your shoes When I wake in the morning. I feel blue. Wouldn’t you? Little bunny You’d have more money Little bunny Save some honey for me. Little bunny you’d have more money. Little bunny Keep on jumping to see. Save some honey for me. So I call up my old friends. And they just don’t answer the phone. Things got way too dramatic, Now we’re all sitting on our ivory thrones. Little bunny.

Medicine Man 02:56
Go on home won't you? Medicine man. I've been feeling alright, Won't you understand? It's not easy being me, So unattached to the land. It's not easy being me, Not everybody can. well you've got it made, It's your convenient fate, as you move westways, We piled up in graves. Now you tell your tales over whisky neat, It's called the ' white man blues' Of how the rails, and then the streets, The kids, the wife and you, Could never be. Be the guy to raise within, the strength to be a burning man, Be the guy to taste within, the pain it takes to be a So go on home won't you? Well I hate to be unkind. but you quit healing me, when you've got so much left to unwind. So tell me fantasies between the sheets, You're used to being owed and owned aren't you? But the waters, mountains, lakes and trees, are just another piece of you. So you'll be the guy to praise within, the strength it takes to be a burning man, and I'll be the guy who understands, the pain it takes it takes to be a Medicine Man.

The Road 05:28
The Road it seems much further now, than it was when starting out. I know I cannot turn back now, The Road. Why don't you try? again. (3x) Why don't I? We start, then stop, then hesitate. I love you dear, don't make me wait. We're balanced on the biggest wave. The Road. I know that some of you don't really understand Just how it feels to hold the earth in your own hands I was a fish inside a tiny pond I was a fish inside a pond. And now I look at you I look around the room. I do not think that everyone of you looks all that amused. I was a fish inside a tiny pond, I was a fish inside a pond. I'd tell you more the stories way too long, I'd tell you more the stories long. The Road it seems much further now, Than it was when starting out. I know I cannot turn back now, The Road. So why don't you try? again (3x) Why don't I?

Wannabe 03:12
*Could it all go to plan, I don’t wanna be damned, Could it all go to plan, I dont wanna be* Are we, Masters of the Ocean? Curers of the waves, Researchers at the station, Echoing the whales? Are we, Saturns great return, The scattering of an Urn, Is it all for nothing, Or is it what we all deserve? Are we holding onto old lives? Living like the old? I’ve been called a sinner, Born forth from Mother Mary’s rose. I’m a salmon who is sick of it, All caught up in the tubes, I’ve been called unlimited, As I burned up(out) next to you. *Could it all go to plan, I dont wanna be damned Could it all go to plan, I dont wanna be* Cause I’m a master of the ocean, A Curer of the waves, I’m a groddy grand piano, Tuned by turning nails. I’m a mothers inconvenience, A fathers sinking sigh, In the fields of feathered ocean, He’s still singing lullabies. I’m a groddy grand piano A researcher at the poles, Born from a sacred place, That Mother Mary stole. *Could it all got to plan, I’m a romantic man, Could it all go to plan, I don’t wanna be*

Shade 03:23
I’ve got some place to be tomorrow, And I’ve rather get there clear, In the past we lived together, God, it’s been like 5 whole years. I got a place around the corner, And you’ve got some corners too, I’ve got a diet I can live by, Mostly coffee sticks and glue. + If I choose to be a woman, If I choose to don a dress, Won’t be please extend a hand to me, Cause who we are is in our chests. If I’m forced to be a soldier, All I do is fight and fight. Won’t you please reach out and comfort me, Give a warm bed tonight,

Young Lovers 03:29
We Were young lovers once. Now our love, ain't worth a dime. We had only just begun. Then we passed, like two ships in the night. We'll take the long way round I've noticed. It's never easy even when we try. I couldn't hurt no one on purpose. I couldn't take what isn't mine. Now you're on a holiday, and the phone has a lazy ring, I was used to having my way, So I sheared, I sheared off all my BEARD. We'll take the long way round I've noticed. It's never easy even when we try. I couldn't hurt no one on purpose. I couldn't take what isn't mine. and yet I try. I couldn't take what isn't mine. Cause we're all running the same race man, we're all just trying to feel whole again. We had it figured out for a few months, yeah we were young lovers, O we had fun under the covers, yeah we were young lovers once.

Well I thought it would be over before. But now you're in my bed again. Kissing like a prairie fire that I do not comprehend. We were talking and laughing. I called you from the middle of a shipyard. In the middle of several beers. I thought you'd brush me off baby, You should have brushed me off baby, But in the end you were all ears. So defy this mad measure of a man, With the biggest of smiles that you can. We could pour it all out, like a beer from a spout. Drinking and a laughing. Maybe getting together again, is making the biggest mistake that we can. Cause life is so short, and to fit we must bend, but it's too long, to keep lovers and friends, well I thought it would be over, but even endings end.
