Verse 1
Look at me, look at you, there's so much, we could do
We could go flying, flying
Ain't it rough, ain't it tough, putting up, with that stuff
I feel like I’m dying, dying…
Dying to feel, to believe, that it’s not all fantasy
When you’re stuck, in a rut, it takes a punch right to the gut
To wake you up, from a haze, get ya right on through the maze
To your home, not some house, where you don’t feel like a mouse…Ohhh
Verse 2
Meet me down, by the crick, once my dog, brings back his stick
I tell ya he’s trying, trying
Look around, at this town, can’t ya see, she’s going down
The fat lady’s singin’, singin…
About the birds, and the bees, shakin’ the leaves right off the trees
When you’re down, in your head, lookin’ for a girl to share your bed
Don’t expect, it at all, without a fight, and keep your wallet outta sight
Talk ‘em up, and put ‘em down, and do your makeup like a clown
Verse 3
Walk right down, this Concrete Hill, stuff your face, drink your fill
People drinkin’, not thinkin’
Dollar drinks, an hour more, watch ‘em stumble, out the door
Hearts are burnin’, yearnin’
Bridge
I ain’t never, felt that feelin’…no
I ain’t never, felt that feelin’, that feelin’…
Verse 3.5
Of release, and the heat, the thang that gets ya right outta your seat
The pain and gain, and the rain, at the wheel of a speedin’ train
Ya hit the brakes, much too late, take ya right up to the pearly gate
Don’t despair, once you’re there, breathe it in without a care
Oh Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Verse 1
Hey there, you gotta want it
It don’t come easy, I gotta have it
Baby, hey nice to see you
Too bad the line’s long, see you in time
Chorus 1
Hey! Get in Line! It’s only fun ‘til ya make it
When! It’s your time! You bet your ass your gonna take it
Verse 2
Talkin, is somethin’ foreign
When I’m thinkin’, inside my head
Consciousness, is really weird man
It’s hard to think that, it’s the thing that got me here
Chorus 2
Hey! Get in Line! It’s only fun ‘til ya make it
When! It’s your time! You bet your ass your gonna take it
Chorus 3
Hey! Get in Line! It’s only fun ‘til ya make it
When! It’s your time! You bet your ass your gonna take it

Verse 1
Johnny found the tide rollin’ strong against him
As he left the ground for the sky
Little did he know that the stars had shifted
Soon he’d find the reason why
Chorus 1
It all changed in a fleeting moment
Can’t be real just how it worked this way
When it’s wrong you can tell just by turning slowly
Back to the heart of it all
Verse 2
Mary took a breath as her mind sought closure
She liked to think she’d known how to live
Little did she know that she needed mending
Or something else would just have to give
Chorus 2
It all changed in a fleeting moment
Can’t be real just how it worked this way
When it’s wrong you can tell just by turning slowly
Back to the heart of it all
Bridge
They both live, they both die
Hard to breathe, not to lie
And when you know, it don’t show
It’s too late, for things that grow
Should only bend back towards the light
Outro
It all changed
It all changed

Verse 1
High up on top, of deity hill
There I see the preachers, with their fuckin’ kill
Hey! Don’t hurt me none
Verse 2
Where do they go? When they all die?
Same place as me, ‘cept you won’t see me cry
Hey! Wahoo!
Chorus 1
One exception, some will question
Nineteen others Sittin’ Pretty
Verse 3
Down to the source, up for the thrill
Show me how to live, take my fuckin’ pills
Hey! Swallow my pride!
Bridge
One is wrong, the other
Might be right
In my head, I swing
On the pendulum
Chorus 1
One exception, some will question
Fault conception, just don’t mention
The nineteen others Sittin’ Pretty

One Island to Another
03:30
|
|||
Verse 1
In the distance, hear the sound
In my bedroom, thoughts abound
It’s impossible to know you, or know where you are
The difference in between us, can’t be that far
I wanna bridge the gap here, light my star…
Chorus 1
I know you’re out there, ow woo
One Island to Another
Verse 2
I feel like any other, but different still
Get born again and, write my will
I know the night is ending, but where’s the light?
See the object, bide my time
The fallacy around me, is deeper than you’d think
Can’t reach across the water, I’m afraid that I’ll sink
To dry the sea between us, I’ll have to drink…
Chorus 2
I know you’re out there, ow woo
One Island to Another
And I feel like breakin’ down, ow woo
One Island to Another
Feel the distant shore
Verse 3
Misty mornin’, head in pain
In the sunshine, feel like rain
I know that it works somewhere, but not for me
Find some humor, in misery
Still fleshin’ out the details, with my raincoat on….
Chorus 3
I know you’re out there, ow woo
One Island to Another
And I feel like breakin’ down, ow woo
One Island to Another
Feel the distant shore
