Sounds Off - 2000
THE STAGE
1st vs.
I'm not the kind of guy who likes to be alone / sitting by the phone / passing out alone
Don't do me wrong / I won't forget / memories are like a silhouette
Chorus
I'm sure you think we're all right / when the day has turned to night
Its good on the stage / lemme hear it from the crowd
2nd vs.
set free the renegade who had to be the one / shooting for the sun / born a loaded gun
I won't give up / you wanna bet / take it for all that you can get
chorus
I'm sure you think we're all right / when the day has turned to night
Its good on the stage / lemme hear it from the crowd
Coda
Yeah / we're all right / it's the only place left in the world
Cuz tonight / I'm not man or woman / boy or a girl
It's a sight / it's the only thing / I wanna do
We're all right / 1, 2 , 3, 4 - end
DON'T TURN YOUR HEAD IN TIMES SQUARE
1ST vs.
You'd always say we're forever / that's just a lie
How many people do you know / who never say goodbye?
Chorus
I can't believe you would leave me for dead
Next time you see me don't turn your head
And I won't stop, no, I won't sleep / I'll see you there / in Times Square
Place your bets, and hold your breath, and save enough / for cab fare
Leave when the sun goes down / pass out at dawn
Sleep when you're all alone / or wake up when she's gone
2nd vs.
Another day in / a day out / its always the same
Sometimes I still do but really, I can't complain
Chorus
I can't believe you would leave me for dead
Next time you see me don't turn your head
And I won't stop, no, I won't sleep / I'll see you there / in Times Square
Place your bets, and hold your breath, and save enough / for cab fare
Leave when the sun goes down / pass out at dawn
Sleep when you're all alone / or wake up when she's gone
AVERY
Go, if that's where you belong / you're either right or wrong
And I'll be hanging on
Please, just tell me what to do / especially for you
My heart is torn in two
Chorus
So you're walking back to me / Avery
I won't shut the door on you / Avery I want you / and that's all there is to
Say, I heard you're feeling down / I'm gonna come around
Girl don't let me down
Please. Just tell me what to do / eventually for you
My heart is torn in two
Say, I'm gonna try to find a way
I want you like I did yesterday
SHE IS DEAD TO ME
She wore gloves in the garden / seems so real to me
Had me right from the start still / it's a mystery, why
Chorus
Some days ten times over / she won't go away
Sundays when I'm sober / she is dead to me
I'm not taking it back now / words you never can
Take my day and relax now / start a brand new band, and
Find me, new age girl / I'm ready for your new wave world
I've never been so sure / I wanna know what love is for
KING WITHOUT A THRONE
Ever since the day I came around / ever since the night you left town
I was a happy dude / but when it comes to you
Chorus
I'm a king without a throne / I'm a leper all alone
I'm a war with no attack / I'm a train without a track
I'm a fire with no flame / I'm a beach out in the rain
I'm a lover all alone / I'm a heart without a home
When the lights went out / you went out with them
How could anyone be proud of that?
I was a lonely dude / but when it comes to you
Repeat chorus - bridge
I wanna be somebody new, new, new
Whats going through that head of yours?
Fate works out in a strange way / it always knows what to do
I was a lonely dude / but when it comes to you
Repeat chorus - end
RICHES TO RAGS
It starts when you feel it closing in my baby
The walls come falling down
And that's when you throw the towel in my darling
The boat might start to drown
The first thing you'll notice is a silent partner
Who don't say much at all
And that's when you notice what you want is someone
Who wants to hear it all
Chorus
Its all right (right) You're not alone
Don't get down (down) Feel right at home
Everyone knows what its like to feel top of the world
Then you lose it all
Cry me a river or a shallow puddle
The kind that never dries
But try for a minute not to look back at me
With E flat minor eyes
THE SAD THINGS
You started out below me / and now I'm mister lonely
I'm not like I was
The night I really blew it / and everybody knew it
I'm not like I was
The sad things really turned me on
And finally I just cracked / but I'll be back
First I took for granted / the seeds that I had planted
I was by myself
Then the downward spiral / a helpless little child
I was by myself
I was going mad / I was going mad, so sad, so sad
I was going mad (you better believe it)
I was going mad (you've got to conceive it)
I was all they had
Finally I've returned to / the world that I was born too
I will fall in love
Somehow I recovered / and that's when I discovered
I will fall in love
The sad things really turned me on / and finally I just cracked
But I'll be back
CITY THAT WE CALLED HOME
Baby you're only running away from where you used to be
And that's away from me
Sitting here wondering if you're coming home tonight
Or if you took that flight
To the city that we called home
But I'm sleeping here all alone
To the way that we used to be
But its only a memory
The days go by slowly but they're only passing time
And you don't seem to mind
If only I could have said what I should have yesterday
Would we ride that train
I'm just killing time
I wish I'd lose my mind
PARTY IN THE SKY
Left on the stone cold moon / strung out along the dunes
Summer is cold on Mars / evening evades the stars
Every now and then I get high watching the stars go by
Sooner or later we all die / party in the sky
10-4 / can you hear me?
I'm not leaving till you're near me
10-4 / can you see me?
I'm not leaving till you're with me
Are you with me?
I'm never coming down / left out along the ground
Summer was cold today / you never went away
YOU DON'T FOOL ME
I'm not the only guy that's ever been sucked in
You're not the only starfish in the sea, baby
Guess I'm the only one who ever thought ahead
And now the only thing that's left to say is this
Check this out I'm on to you so you get off of me
You might've fooled your other fans but no you don't fool me
No you don't fool me
I know your game you want to keep me hanging on
But whatcha gonna do now that the thrill is gone
Guess you're the only one who never thought ahead
And now the only thing that's left to do is jet
Bridge - you almost had me / you almost trapped me
You almost had me / you almost got me, baby
SOULS IN LOVE
She was only 17 / her hair was brown her eyes were green
We met up on a summer night / I can't explain it just felt right
Time went by, the game was up, if you've found it live it up
The feelings hard to find
I have a good time with all the wrong ones,
I wanna do something more than bond once / she's out there somewhere yeah I know
If you see her say "hello" / I don't even know her name
I'm pretty sure she feels the same / I wonder where she's at
And although it was last century I figured time would rescue me, it has
But took its sweet old time - and whoever she is I'm thinking of she's custom made
From up above, we'll be / souls in love
MAKE ME LIVE AGAIN
Countdown time is ticking dawn, the lights are off the tvs on
The girls are out of school, the teacher broke the rules
The nights are long and days are slow, the next door neighbors have a go
The boys are out to sea, its only you and me and the radio
So break my heart again, make me live again, I forgot the rules
Let me be the one when you see the sun, whose lying next to you
Tell me yes or tell me no, tell me what you wanna know
All I wanna be is baby you and me
Tell me what tomorrow knows, tell me what the future holds
All I wanna see is baby you and me and the radio
The End of an Error - 2003
HOOK IT UP
Come by whenever you wanna come by / I just sit around playing guitar
Or reading books on the people I like / their biographies are my favorite type
And I just hope you're never the reason that my heart starts to sing out of tune
If I do the same to you then we're even, but at least we'll know it might be too soon
Drop out whenever you wanna drop out / whenever that's up to you
Or you might see me sat up at the bar / that's because I've got nothing to do
GO AWAY
I think I need some time alone / I wanna go out on my own
I hope you hear me when I say / I don't know why she won't go away
A different psycho every night / why can't I ever get it right?
And all I know to do is pray / I don't know why she won't go away
Go away, and my heart can't stand it / soon you can read about it
I know everybody knows I went out on my own
Just go away if you care about me / way away you don't scare me
I know everybody knows I'm gonna come back home, just go away
SAND IN THE HOURGLASS
I pretty much hang out from Friday to Monday
They think I drop out on Saturday, Sunday
But I sit in a room and I think til it hurts and it can't be bad
Just trying to write all the thoughts in the night everybody's had
Sand in the hourglass / don't run out on me yet
Wait up / shape up, I'm gonna come around, I swear to God I am
I'm out every night from Tuesday to Thursday
I'm doing all right unless it's a bad day
But I sit in a chair and I whisper a prayer and I wonder when
I'm gonna break through cuz I've paid all my dues just to get to you
I used to make out with a girl in Virginia
I had to bail out / it just couldn't continue
Now I sleep in a den and I wake up again and I'm back in time
I'm wondering what to say into the lights when I'm in my prime
BUILT A WALL AROUND MY HEART
I built a wall around my heart / I don't wanna tear it down
It works so hard to keep me well / out of the depths of hell
You want a wall around your house / otherwise it might break down
But with the wall you can't get in / you'll never be let down
Don't break down�.don't break down�..don't break down
I built a wall around my soul / I don't wanna let it go
It works so hard to keep me whole / I'll never lose control
ALL I LOVE IS ROCK N ROLL
I'd walk the world for you / but I might not like the view
If you don't like what I say lets call off the interview
Leave if you want to leave / I'll pay the toll
Stay if you want to stay / I'll lose control
Just smoke your cigarettes and ramble me your intellect
I'm not even here
Your face is getting old / I didn't mean to be so cold but all I love is rock n roll
I'd quit while you're ahead / did you hear a word I said?
Don't you say that one more time / you're the same old song and rhyme
Leave if you want to leave / I'll pay the toll
Stay if you want to stay / I'll lose control
Just smoke your cigarettes and ramble me your intellect
I'm not even here
Your face is getting old / I'm never gonna sell my soul but all I love is rock n roll
LOOKING FOR THE ONE
I've been waiting, set a plate and dreaming of my love
But I never ever thought forever took so long to come
I don't know if I'm a dreamer or a fool
But I've never been the type to follow rules
And I'm holding on, its been so long, I know that it's the same old song, but
I'm already waiting for tomorrow
I've been staying out for way too late, I don't know why, I guess its fate, that
Keeps me waiting, always on the run, looking for the one
It's getting colder, now I'm older than I've ever been
And it's not the first time or the last time that I'll wonder when
I don't know if I should wait around your door
I think someone's gonna knock me to the floor
COMEBACK
I wish I'd been around the day you moved to town
And been the dude next door / knock on the door
If only I could know the words you look to find
Then I could read your mind
Ever since the day you moved away the sky is gray
Are you trying to drop me to my knees / comeback please
I know you had to move away you left today
But where you gonna go / I think you know
If any other girl would say she wants to stay
I'd run the other way, baby
Ever since the day you moved away the sky is gray
Are you trying to drop me to my knees / comeback please
SHE IS DEAD TO ME - see Sounds Off album
GIRLFRIEND ON DRUGS
Who turned the lights out in your baby's eyes
Walk into a room and she barely replies
I don't know whats going on but it can't be good
Try to talk to her you could say its getting old
Bad idea then she starts to explode
There is only one thing I can think it could possibly be
Your girlfriends on drugs / yeah your girlfriends on drugs
Can't you tell how she shrugs her shoulders she don't know where she is
Yeah your girlfriends on drugs / I know she's on drugs
Well she's going from hot to colder you told her how it is
Yeah your girlfriends on drugs - your girlfriends on drugs
Last night I saw her at a house down the block
Bent over, huddled like she's gone into shock
I'm not a doctor but I think I know what it might be
KING WITHOUT A THRONE - see Sounds Off album
RADIO MIND
I've got a radio mind / it plays all the time
And yet the station is hard to find
I've got an FM brain / its driving me insane
I won't quit til you know my name
If you turn me on or you drown me out
Or you rock and roll, or you sleep all day
If you turn me off I'm hard to find
He's a weirdo they say / that radio mind
It plays night and day / it won't go away
I never know what I might say
I've got a radio soul / I've got a one-track goal
I feel young but I feel old
END OF THE BEGINNING
Are you ready to leave it all behind?
Are you ready to change your state of mind?
Everybody gets to roll the dice / I'm not gonna live to do it twice
Knew the day would come since I was nine
Say the words and I go back in time
All I need to be is who I am / all I really want to do is jam
Are you ready for that L.A. woman?
Are you ready for the 7th inning?
God only knows when we'll start winning / this is the end of the beginning
Drive across America for days
Never thought I'd leave but I can't stay
I'm really gonna miss my Cadillac / if it works out I'll bring 5 more back
THE WEIRDIST
Wanna write the weirdest song in the world
Where the chords are good they just sound bad
Wanna meet the weirdest girl in the world
Where her face is happy but she's sad
And if I can I will / and if I can't I won't
The weirdest, the weirdest man that's weird
Wanna say the weirdest thing in the world
And the people that hear it walk away
Wanna wear the weirdest clothes in the world
And the people that see it turn to clay
Wanna meet the weirdest cat in the world
Where it wags its face and not its tail
Wanna meet the weirdest dude in the world
Where he's everywhere but he leaves no trail
And if I can I will, and if I can't I won't
The weirdest, the weirdest man that's weird
Chorus Verses the Bridge - 2005
DEAD BATTERY
Hearts in a ditch and I live with a bitch / and it can't go on
Leave me alone if you answer the phone I might dial out
My batteries' dead / did anybody hear a word I said?
My hearts in the red
Been here a while and I'm faking a smile but I can't break through
Go for it all and it hurts when you fall but I get back up
My batteries' dead / did anybody hear a word I said?
My hearts in the red
I'LL NEVER LOVE YOU AGAIN
Back in the day you dissed me so bad / but it happened so long ago I'm not mad
Pretty soon you're gonna remember what you had
When I look at you its gonna make you sad
Cuz you fooled me with your lies, and you killed me with your eyes
But I swear I'll never love you again
You're gonna run back I know / and I'll get you some tickets to see the show
Can't tell you how bad I want you to go / and I'm not gonna tell you I told you so
Cuz you fooled me with your lies and you killed me with you eyes
But I swear I'll never love you again
ANOTHER WORLD
Look at me, easily you can tell that the lights are on
But look again / this time imagining dreaming and never sleeping
I can't believe you made a fool out of me
And how you took your time, made me lose my mind
Just like another world / you used to be my girl
Pull the wool / baby you're beautiful, but I can tell that your tights are on
Its hard to think / baby I need a drink / you don't even know where my hearts been lately
DON'T BE COOL
Look at the dust on my face / ain't it enough for the headlines
Look at the rust on this place / aught to be good for the dark times
Quiet on set just for a minute / I'm not as dumb as you look
Don't be cool to me
Look at the girl you blew off / isn't she good for a hollar
Look at the bet you just lost / you shoulda just out down a dollar
Shut up your face just for a minute / I'm not as dumb as you look
Don't be cool to me
I can tell if you're phony / its easy enough / I'm not stupid
I can tell if you're lonely by the way you look me in the eye
If I want to feel homey I sit in my room and I listen to "only the lonely"
Don't be cool to me
FALL SO EASILY
Hot and cold / they're never gonna be the same / off and on / and I don't wanna play that game / reason has abandoned me / I forgot to breathe / you are what's come over me And why I feel this way / I fall so easily for you
Night and day I fumble up the words I say / far away and I don't know the chords to play Girl you've got a hold on me / I forgot to breathe / you are whats come over me / and what else can I say / I fall so easily for you
DRUNK LOVE
When I walk out into the world / late at night to find a girl / hope that she's not dumb as a rock / lucky if I find one that's not / then you move into the future / don't even question her past / how many brothers and sisters? / she don't even ask
Then I wake up next to the bag / might feel happy, I might feel sad / out the door and get in the car / out the car and into a bar / then you move into the future / don't even question her past / how many brothers and sisters? / they might kick your ass
That's what I call drunk love - that's what I call drunk love
PSYCHO
I went away but you still call / you're crazy, I don't know what you think that you've got to prove / but its obvious that I can't get through / I can't get through
In a way you need help / maybe theres a room where they'll strap you into a chair / they can do what they want cuz I don't care / I don't care
You're psycho, baby, I think you're over the edge / off of the ledge Crazy as a bird that don't have any legs / eyes that are red / off with your head
When I'm dreaming it's a nightmare / keep her away / keep her away
Everyday / you look back / waking up again / and it's always a different room / and you'd better get help for it pretty soon / pretty soon
HAWAII
You know how it goes / she kicked me in my face
I'm good at chess / she put me in my place
I run the show but nobody knows / I don't suppose I would be the one
You know how it is / I'm minding my own biz
You're right / she's gone / but its not for long
I run the show but nobody goes / I don't suppose I would be the one
NOT HIGH ENOUGH
I'm sorry it took me forever to say it the right way / I know that I'm leaving tomorrow And taking the long way / theres nobody special I'm trying to be with / I just want my baby to know - whenever I'm with you I'm home / so high when you're near me it feels like I'm totally stoned / go chase the muff / I'm not high enough
I'm bad on the phone so I think I should write her a letter / no wait I think maybe a postcard, its shorter, its better / theres nobody special I'm trying to get with I just want my baby to know - whenever I'm with you I'm home / so high when you're near me it feels like I'm totally stoned / go chase the muff / I'm not high enough
ITS ALL GOOD
If I write a song about anything / anything its you
Me and you can talk about anything / anything its true
I don't understand it / its not like I planned it
If its me and you then its all good
If I get upset about anything / you can help me out
And even though we fight about everything / later we make out
No one else can save me / you're the little baby
If its me and you then its all good
Don't you think I know that I've been lucky from the start
And I feel like baby, you're my heart / when we drive around at night I take the long way home / just so I can get you all alone
Think I've got it right now / think I see the light now
If its me and you then its all good
SUBURBIA
You got a good thing / wearing the mood ring / I don't know what you're doing Lay down beside me / try to remind me / why are we still not moving
Losing your powers / into the hours / what do you think you're doing Walking a tight line / step on a landmine / why are we still not moving
Suburbia is dead tonight / the kids are in their beds tonight / and whatever might happen we don't know / so flash another glance tonight / take me to the dance tonight / and whatever might happen / we don't know
SOMETHINGS A LITTLE OFF HERE
I can't complain again / you shut down my game again / I can't believe the score / daddy is out the door / somehow I knew that something had to give / somehow its true that something really is a little off here
Playing charades with you / what are we coming to? / win, lose or draw / I used to have it all / somehow I knew that something had to give / somehow its true that something really is a little off here
WHATEVER HAPPENS HERE STAYS HERE
Calling off the ambulance / whatever happens here stays here
Must've had him in a trance / whatever happens here stays here
God knows she don't wanna know / she don't wanna know
Time slows / she don't wanna know / she don't wanna know
I couldn't think / the lights were out / whatever happens here stays here
Must've had a moments doubt / whatever happens here stays here
God knows she don't wanna know / she don't wanna know
Time slows / she don't wanna know / she don't wanna know
Take me to the river dance / whatever happens here stays here
Somewhere in the south of France / whatever happens here stays here
God knows she don't wanna know / she don't wanna know
Time slows / she don't wanna know / she don't wanna know
Obsessed - 2007
I’M NOT AFRAID
My friends used to dare me / go set off the world / run straight through that red light
Go talk to those girls / yeah they used to dare me / go shoot off those flares
We don’t think you’ll do it / fall right down the stairs
I’d say come back tomorrow or later today / and you can ask me anything, I’ve got a lot to say / got one eye on tomorrow, but I’m happy with today / whatever happens, I’m not afraid
Teachers used to tell me / “pay attention, son” / “don’t be such a dreamer, get the homework done” / “what about the future? What are you gonna be? / “I’ll study this acoustic, and just you wait and see”
GET BEHIND ME
Get behind me, I want to take care of you / get behind me now, baby, I swear I do
Get behind me now, in case the bullets fly / if somebody here should die, it will not be you /
Get behind me, I want to take care of us / get behind me now, its just the three of us /
Get behind me now, in case the lights are red, if somebody here is dead, it will not be you
Get behind me now, in case the car door slams, if someone should hurt their hand, it will not be you
OBSESSED
Coming back from a New York trip / I just made up my mind, to get a guitar and practice hard / lessons for a year and they tell you what you wanna hear, so, I quit to teach myself / now I’m coming along and I’m starting to write songs
Its gonna be hard when you’re playing one man gigs / you’ve got to be strong or you’re never gonna make it big / I stare at the sun and you think I get depressed / not at all, I’m just obsessed
Start a band, someone’s gotta be an iron man, because no one cares as much as me / so I put on the phones / put on the phones / it’s the Beatles and the Rolling Stones / I’m in a friendly competition with my friends who share my vision, yeah, but / no one mentions that at all / I’m miles away from the bars where the others play
Its gonna be hard if I ever really make it there / cuz I say that I am but what if I’m unprepared / I’m focusing in and I’m trying to do my best, all the time cuz I’m obsessed
One more verse, some more about the curse / my family all agree / they say “what is this want? Why do you feel the need to be?” / and I say, “because from birth, I’ve been here on the earth, and I always play these songs” / “so it couldn’t be wrong, or else, why does it feel so strong?”
DISTANCE TO GET CLOSER
The boy struggles on with the girls, it’s a bummer / he’s got a good game but can’t get a number / distance to get closer once again / man gets shot with a gun in the ghetto / I never saw a bum with a sled in the meadow / distance to get closer, tell your friends
They’ve been around, been around / turn on the news, you’re gonna get the blues / buckle up baby, there’s nothing to lose / they’ve been around, been around / turn on the dial, they’re walking down the aisle / lighten up baby, gimme just a little smile
Heard a bunch of crap at the bar on the corner / drama all around, nonsense, take your order / distance to get closer once again / The boy struggles on with the girls at the table / he’s got a good game but he’s very unstable / best looking girl looks at ugly friend
They’ve been around, been around / turn on the news, you’re gonna get the blues / lighten up baby, there’s nothing to lose / they’ve been around, been around / turn up your nose, they’re taking off their clothes / where its gonna lead too, no one really knows
I’M IN THE FUTURE TODAY
The girls in the market don’t act like they used to, I married October last year / I’m an upstanding man, and I stick with the plan, but it sure was nice to hear / I dig how we’re getting older and older/ I used to think I was young / if I wanna be cool I’ll put ice on my shoulder and act like I’m not having fun
I used to get so ripped in the nighttime and wake up feeling o.k. / I still have a few, but I can’t like I used to, cuz I’m in the future today
The first time I saw you got my attention / cuz I like the way that you look / cuz you walk kind of slow and you know that you know that you’re eyes were all that it took / the boy in the bubble must be in trouble, he sits on his own every day / and its fun being reckless and acting a fool / but the real world is coming your way
TOUGH CROWD
That’s a tough crowd, when you’re singing into silence / nobody claps, in your heart you feel the violence / when you play well and you know it, but the crowd doesn’t show it / only one thing you can say, you should say it out loud, that’s a tough crowd
You tell a joke to the room, and its funny / nobody laughs but the joke was so money / it went exactly how you planned it, but they don’t understand it / only one thing you can say, you should say it out proud / that’s a tough crowd
"Play one we know", they yell out, "please play it" / they say "play brown-eyed girl", but you don’t, cuz you hate it / cuz your own song is awesome / yet but somehow you lost them / only one thing you can say, you should say it out proud / that’s a tough crowd
WHATS WRONG WITH NIKKI?
Nikki couldn’t have fun / she just sits there / tricky, almost numb / she just couldn’t
Have fun / sometimes sitting around, she gets bossy / we know something is wrong /
Something making her sad / whats wrong?, whats wrong? / you’ve got to figure it out
Whats wrong? Whats wrong? / you need someone to sing you a song
Nikki got a good job, very pretty / Nikki got a nice car, something making her sad /
Nikki staying in shape, doing yoga / comes in on her day off / we know something is
Wrong / Whats wrong? Whats wrong? / you’ve got to figure it out / Whats wrong?
Whats wrong? Whats wrong? / need someone to help you along
THEY DON’T WANT YOU AROUND
When you’re fake, it really shows / everybody knows / how you write your articles / aren’t you too big for your clothes? / oh, you’re all over now all over town / they don’t
Want you around / its not where you go, its who you know / now don’t come back around
Sticks and stones can break your bones / words can really kill / I know you love your emo bands / they don’t like you still / you’re all over now all over town / they don’t want you around / its not where you go, its who you know / now don’t come back around / don’t come back around / don’t come back around
DON’T GET SAD
Don’t get sad girl / I can’t stand to see you that way / don’t get sad girl / its dark, stupid things that I say / don’t tell me the water is rising high in your eyes tonight / one thing and its not surprising / its hard trying to turn out the light
Don’t get sad girl / I can’t stand to see you like that / don’t get sad girl / I’ll try not to act like a brat / don’t tell me the water is rising high in your eyes tonight / one thing and its not surprising / its hard trying to turn out the light
THE FESTIVAL
They wouldn’t let me be in the festival / theres not enough spots to go around / they wouldn’t let me be in the festival / theres not enough people to run the sound
Festival lights, festivals’ bright / but I only walk around the world / festival sights, festival sounds / I just sit at home with my girl
They wouldn’t let me rock in the festival / I could play guitar and sell cds / they wouldn’t let me be in the festival / but they’re all gonna be hearing from me
WHEN IT GOES DOWN
Enemy lines have been drawn / we all walk across / you’re going out on a limb, but don’t you get lost / you can sleep with whoever you want / we all sleep alone / I’m making up for lost time when I get home
You’re taking over from out of nowhere / you think you know but, you don’t know what you’ll see when it goes down / so think it over, do what you told her / you think you know but you don’t know what you’ll see when it goes down
If you only believe in yourself / what if you get lost? / I’m gonna believe in the man to help me across / and when it’s the end of the world I’m sitting around / I only hope I guessed right / when it goes down
McKINLEY GAIL
I was in my car and driving down the walnut trail / and we went into the room to see McKinley Gail / don’t go away, don’t run and hide / don’t be surprised if you’re the light in my eyes
Now you better come, you better run to hear the tale / she’s a little girl, its not a male / McKinley Gail / don’t be afraid, we will not fail / don’t be surprised if you’re the wind in my sails
