Dry your eyes My friend You will soon Begin again Dry your eyes Don’t waste another Moment crying when you could be laughing With your sister Your brother Dry your eyes Dry your eyes tonight

Hotblack 03:38
Took a big trip With your old band To your homeland For the wrong man Making big plans For your own sake Hope they don’t bend Hope they don’t break Took a tip from a rodeo show Get a grip or you’re gonna get thrown Take your aim when you take a shot For the man under you will take everything you got Take the pills that they give you mornings Spit them out when they aren’t looking Keep a smile but you burn it hot It’s a mad, mad, world Take the pills that they give you mornings Spit them out when they aren’t looking Fix a smile but you burn it hot It’s a mad, mad, world

Excited 04:16
Soul riding Soul diving So exciting When I’m alone with you A white fin In hiding Soul biting Killer he loves you too He waits for You nightly As I do Jealous he’s of us two And after the sky will fall We’ll beat their night We’ll beat them all And after the sun is shining we’ll go riding again And after the sun is shining we’ll go riding again Soul diving straight to my heart, tell me what do I do As I wait Oh as I wait for you It’s getting harder not to say our goodbyes Rising up to the test of our lives My time, it seems, is all in the sea It flows out of you and it flows in to me And after the sky will fall We’ll beat their night We’ll beat them all And after the sun is shining we’ll go riding again And after the sun is shining we’ll go riding again

All the fear and dust it covers Grab your hats and take your lovers inside All the fog and rain it ruins Take your laughs and take your doings inside Though all the nation’s chiefs divided I can feel the rays still shining I can feel the rainbows coming in So don’t wear me out Don’t leave me here ‘Cause I’m not giving up So I’m giving in All my life it seems is bottle angst, unbottled angst, and bottled angst Through my life it seems I’m throttling, unthrottling, and throttling Through the days and weeks of fighting I can see the rays still shining And I feel the rainbows coming in So don’t wear me out Don’t leave me here ‘Cause I’m not giving up So I’m giving in

Go 03:24
Once I had a ticket, was a slave in the line up Had a ticket I was almost there Almost had a life completely automated All of this and more if I cooperated I had a ticket, was a slave in the line up Had a ticket I was almost there But the philosophy wasn’t talking to me Wasn’t filling the day, and so now I say Go Leave me alone Let me be I had a ticket, was a slave in the line up Had a ticket it was in my hand It sang and it danced but was not for me And I thought they would understand But they keep coming at me in waves Try to bleed me and stand in my way Tell me all I’ll feel is a little sting When they put the barcode on me Go Leave me alone Let me be

I had this dream and in this dream I was walking and soon I was upon this man This man was pointing he was screaming for help for The Reaper had captured this lamb I said “What’s doing here?” He said, “It’s pretty clear, but not many people can see what is plain to see. So this advice I give, for you have much to live”. And just then I noticed the lamb looked like me. Hey, return what you wanted It’s not what you need kid The rest you can live without Where is the phone, the telephone is ringing again, and again, and again I will be there in one second, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on man And if there’s someone there Then please, I’m now in the know So make it real, I’ll bear no more deceit It burns my soul

She turns and says to me Man you’d better find some peace Honestly But where is that to be Where do I go to find Some peace of mind She said Anywhere at All She said Anywhere at All This weight upon my chest Pushing papers on a desk Back and forth She said try to get to rest But where can I go to reap A little peace She said Anywhere at All She said Anywhere at All

Wait For Me 03:25
Wait for me Say you will Patiently Be there still Be my one By my orange sun In the rain Be my sage Be my pilot through All the rage Wait for me We’re saving years A day of ours is worth ten of theirs Be my lungs When I buried deep In the sea Be my plan Say we’ll all make out In the end And do it again, and again, and again Be my lungs When I’m buried deep On the page Be my plan Say we’ll all be fine On the stage Be my scene Be the side of me That’s all the rage Be my one Be my orange sun

Mistake 05:12
They say that life is a free thing and everybody Has to find their way They say that life is a free thing and everybody Gets to find their space But I’ll start walking, I’ll start talking And I’ll start doing the things you want me to And I’ll start saying, I’ll start praying And I’ll behave the way you want me to I’ll give it my all, I’ll give it my best, I’ll give it my mind, I’ll give it my heart I’ll give it my soul, I’ll give it my life Oh I made a mistake, dropped out of the race Fell out of the line, I’ll give it my all I’ll give it my best, I’ll do it this time Talk all you like it’s gonna be there ‘Cause you cannot surround all that we care for And if you want to fight I can go all night But we don’t spare

I want to buy you pretty things Horses and castles and diamond rings And we’ll go dancing in the spring If you like And we’ll be alright Never have to beg or have to fight For what we know is true That’s what we’ll never do Never Ever And if we breathe for one another, they will never suffocate us And if we stay close to each other, they will never separate us And if we support one another, they will never get beneath us And if we try And if we try They will never ever stop us
