Seismic Waves
03:22
|

|
We walk across techtonic plates
that move and shift when the earth quakes
and, the fault lines below us grow
I don't want it to shake me up, I wanna shake it up
You know I wanna shake it up so it won't shake me up
shake me up
We're rock and rolled down to the floor
down to the center of our cores
We're shakin' from the seismic waves and
I don't want it to shake me up, I wanna shake it up
You know I wanna shake it up so it won't shake me up
shake me up
If we turn off all of the TVs
will the headline from the paper's read
"Earth's axis wanders from the poles"
Is that gonna shake me up? I don't want it to shake me up.
You know I wanna shake it up so it won't shake me up
shake me up shake me up

The world is in a wreckless cycle
Flat tires and broken spokes
The congregation's runnin wild
From storm clouds and lightning bolts
I don't think that anybody knows
The preacher tampered with the radar
So now any way the wind blows
It sounds a loud false alarm
"The Lord said to duck and cover!"
Screamed the Deacon down the hallway.
We're waiting for a clap of thunder
In the middle of a sunny day
I saw him climb up a ladder to get onto the roof
he had his holy bolt cutters and he cut the lock in two
he grabbed the sattelite dish and the doppler radio
and scrambled all the air-waves with a tin foil halo
I don't think that anybody knows
The preacher tampered with the radar
So now any way the wind blows
It sounds a loud false alarm
This could be the preacher's perfect plan
'cause we're scared of the weather like we're scared of the Lord.
You gotta tune in to get to heaven
or you're swept away by Satan's storm
I don't think that anybody knows
The preacher tampered with the radar
So now any way the wind blows
It sounds a loud false alarm

Start Over Again
02:24
|

I think this city's comin' after me
It's like everyone here thinks I'll work for free
So, to get ahead I quit payin' my rent
'cause getting kicked to the curb won't cost me a cent
I'm gonna have to start over again
I'll wait it out for a nother beginin'
It's no different than it was back when
I started over again I'm startin' over again over again I'm startin' over again
I'm like a cup in the ocean
I'm floating like a skiff with a rudder that's broken
and, even though my chances to win are like a million to ten
I'm still better off than I was to begin with
I'm gonna have to start over again
I'll wait it out for a nother beginin'
It's no different than it was back when
I started over again I'm startin' over again over again I'm startin' over again
Picture me no vision ADHD
Aderol and alcohol and nicotine
There's not a piece of me that's a rational being
So, I'll keep my peace by getting up to leave
I can keep my peace by getting up and leavin'
I gotta break away to catch a break
'cause dyin' to live is eatin' me alive.
Take advantage of the time I got on the way down
'cause up's the only way to go when you hit the ground
there's no other way when you're facin' down
I'm gonna have to start over again
I'll wait it out for a nother beginin'
It's no different than it was back when
I started over again I'm startin' over again over again I'm startin' over again

Missing Pieces
04:02
|

|
When the circuit blew in the breaker box
I was loosenin' screws and untying knots
I never had a chance to fix a single mistake
to get back on track and make it all okay
Missing pieces aren't exactly what I need
But, at least at least they might bring me some peace
Another dollar won't grease the palms to relieve me
But, at least at least they might bring me some peace
There's nothin' left to do but to move to fast
To grind all the gears and burn up the gas
There's not enough time for the time it takes
Just to settle down to step on the breaks
Missing pieces aren't exactly what I need
But, at least at least they might bring me some peace
Another dollar won't grease the palms to relieve me
But, at least at least they might bring me some peace
I believe in things that I can't see
and I'm gonna uncover the mystery
of blind faith interveining as a diety
and why I even subscribe or believe in a being.
What it is I'm tryin' to do and what I believe in
It all comes down to how you stop the bleed
It's not what you want but it's all that you need
It's never gonna turn out the way you planned
when you get what you get, you do what you can
Missing pieces aren't exactly what I need
But, at least at least they might bring me some peace
Another dollar won't grease the palms to relieve me
But, at least at least they might bring me some peace

Reel It In
05:58

You should be should be in the deep
Underneath you will see
You should be should be in the deep
Dive and breath beneath the sea
Underneath you will see
As you are, the world is as you are
In. Reel it in. Reel it in you want to catch the big fish. You gotta get low.
I know you know what's down below.

It's so hard to say
In a delicate way
When I woke up today you were
Long gone no warning at all
Falling back into a stranger's arms
I hope you have better luck
With that innocent look
You might never wake up from the
Dream where you're floating in air
Searchin' for love on a wing and a prayer
It's so hard to care
for such a pitiful pair
you just sat back and stared as the
Train train was jumpin' the tracks
Slow to think and too slow to react
It would take an engineer
to find its way back to the rails

Light The Fuse
02:18
|

|
Did your heart stop in your chest?
Are you breathing your last breath?
Have you become a nervous wreck
because your mind won't take a breath?
You can fix you can fix it all
When your backed when your back's up against the wall
There's nothing left no money left and there's hell to pay
Light the fuse and get away
This could be the apocoypse
'cause God is fighting with the Scientists
There's no way they'll work it out
and, there's no time left to pray right now
You can fix you can fix it all
When your backed when your back's up against the wall
There's nothing left no money left and there's hell to pay
Light the fuse and get away
Just before your head explodes
and right before you can't take any more
find a book with one last match
you could end it all and not look back
You can fix you can fix it all
When your backed when your back's up against the wall
There's nothing left no money left and there's hell to pay
Light the fuse and get away

Wishing Well
02:31

In my soul is a wishing well
and dreams I had of ringing bells
in all the the city streets and through downtown
but, I've yet to hear them make a sound.
A sound a sound a sound
Hope is springing in our chests
We don't know what will happen next
Every night we hope and pray
we're gonna live for another day
I'm wishing for a better time
that everyone has got in mind.
And, what a time to be alive
when it finally does arrive.
Arrive arrive arrive arrive
Hope is springing in our chests
We don't know what will happen next
Every night we hope and pray
we're gonna live for another day
See the valley and the stream?
It leads to my sanctuary.
I wish you could find a place
that could be your saving grace.
To save by grace to save
Hope is springing in our chests
We don't know what will happen next
Every night we hope and pray
we're gonna live for another day

Me Except For You
03:39
|

There's not a part of you that's out of place
You've never fallen from good grace
Thank God you've kept me around
Long enough to settle down
I've never felt the need to add another note to symphonies
Museum's masterpieces have all the brush strokes thay'll ever need
But, there's one extra breath to Gospel truth
There's noone else I'll ever need with me except for you
There's nothing that I'd wanna change
Even all my past mistakes
All my psychoanalytic planned
Dreams I've had of Never Never Land
I've never felt the need to add another note to symphonies
Museum's masterpieces have all the brush strokes thay'll ever need
But, there's one extra breath to Gospel truth
There's noone else I'll ever need with me except for you
I could never just refuse
Anything you'd ask me to do
'Cause even when my tin roof rusted
You didn't leave me broke and busted
I've never felt the need to add another note to symphonies
Museum's masterpieces have all the brush strokes thay'll ever need
But, there's one extra breath to Gospel truth
There's noone else I'll ever need with me except for you
