"Hi-Speed Soul"

Do you ever feel like you just landed
On this earth?
See the creatures all do their dances
Back and forth
You get restless and then you join them
On the floor
Suddenly it's tomorrow
It's not today anymore
You talk to the ceiling every day
The speakers are shaking
Why do i hear you okay?
They're playing soul at the wrong speed
It sounds right now
What are you doing to me?
D'you ever feel like what we call real life
Is not so real?
Tripping up on the same old problems
You had last year
Well we'll pretend it's another planet
Not so uptight
The stars are shining above the city
Every night
They come every night
[chorus]
Where are we going?
I don't care
Our friends all left
Let's go anywhere
It's getting late
I don't care
It's just you and me
Let's go anywhere

"No Quick Fix"

There's no quick fix
You gotta take your licks
Strange times long lines
There are no clean cups
You gotta mess it up
To see why you cry
I can't stay home at night
I'm drawn out like a moth to lamplight
Come on now
You gotta try it out
You're killing time
You're killing mine
Don't go, i'll never know
When you're away, i sleep all day
Nothing works and thinking hurts
You belong to me
In my dreams
[chorus]

"Killian's Red"

I'm putting this night down to bed
Cause i was sitting at the bar
Hoping you're walk in the door
That says killian's red
Cause i left you a note that said
Come on out and we'll both get
Right off of our heads
And float up off the chair
We'll go on vacation tonight
Under a sun of neon light
And i almost love this town
When i'm by your side
You woke me from a long sleep
And i'm almost back
Closer than ever
To finding the hidden track
If i told you the truth
You wouldn't like what i said
I almost believed i was dead
There'll be no more waiting
You're gonna melt all the ice
In our heads
There'll be no more crying
You're gonna make it all better instead
[verse]
I get secrets at night
But they don't stay
I get secrets at night
But they go away
[chorus]

"La Pour Cas"

Pense a moi la prochaine fois que
Tu entendra la rumeur des vagues
Et si elles te disent que tu m'as fait
Que du mal, t'en fais pas
J'suis la pour ca
La mer connait pas le fil du temps
Qui nous rapproche et nous separe
Vive la maree haute et vive la basse
Mais surtout vive la difference
J'suis la pour ca
Laisse couler le bateau
Oublie tes moeurs
Laisse-toi aller et n'ai pas peur
Les mecs c'est des salauds
Mais peut-etre pas tous
Remplis ton verre et a nos amours
J'suis la pour ca

"Happy Kid"

I'm just a happy kid
Stuck with the heart of a sad punk
Drowning in my id
Always searching like it's on junk
No matter who i hang out with
I can hear the clack clunk
Of the chains that pull the cars up
The roller coaster mountain top so high
When it comes down it shoots back up
Straight back to the sky
I gotta laugh and then i'm asleep
And then i walk around and wanna cry
Out at night to do the strand
The little candles make the bottles glow
Got ink all over my right hand
Getting crushes with no chance to grow
It's like i'll never ever land
There's always too much sun
Or too much snow
I get slow days and no days
I get rusty and it's hard
But i get notions that oceans
Are coming to my call
You can learn to get along
I'm just a happy kid
Stuck with the heart of an old punk
Drowning in my id
Always hungry like it's on junk
I'm just a happy kid

"Treading Water"

Movies like zoos
Try another me and i will try another you
Or put my arms around you
Like i think you want me to
But tell me what you're thinking
I so often misconstrue
Treading water treading white wine
Seeing borders seeing straight lines
I get these feelings that i don't
Have much time
Always rushing always late
Movies like zoos
I talk to missionaries when they're
Standing at my door
They tell me what i should be reading
I still can't see what for
We both stand there politely trying
To change each other's core
When other angels float by
They seem likely to fall from the sky
What i want is difficult i must try

"Paper Boats"

Sit on a train, reading a book
Same damn planet every time i look
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
Only works when i'm dead asleep
Been thinking and drinking all over the town
Must be gearing up for some kind of melt-down
All i am is a body floating down-wind
What's wrong?
Nothing
Are you sure nothing's wrong?
Yeah
But you're sad about something
Yeah
So tell me what
I don't know
I can't tell you
All i am is a body floating down-wind
As the express train passes the local
It moves by just like a paper boat
Although it weighs a million pounds
I swear it almost seems to float
And as we pass by each other
Our heads all full of bother
We can't look, we can't stop
We can't think, we can't stop
Because we're stuck in our own paths
And it's the way it always lasts
But i need something more from you

"Concrete Bed"

The world's locked up in your head
You've been pouring it a concrete bed
Your habits ossify
You don't realize you're fried
To find someone you love
You've gotta be someone you love
The reason's somewhere in the din
But it takes years 'til it sinks in
You've used up the easy streets
And you lost your taste for treats
So fried
Stay high if you have to
Do whatever it asks you
You've got another calling
Don't let it pass you
You know it coz you wrote it
You just didn't think you'd actually do it
It's just another wish you wished
In a very long list
To find someone you love
You've gotta call your own bluff

"Do It Again"

Well I'd snap to attention
If I thought that you knew the way
I'd open my mouth
If I had something smart to say
I bought a stack of books
I didn't read a thing
It's like I'm sitting here
Waiting for birds to sing
Let's do it again
Come on let's do it again
Please let's do it again
The hum of the clock
Is a far-away place
The azalea air holding your face
You're lying down
And the moon is sideways
From the hot to the cold
It never gets old
I spend all my energy
Staying upright
And I like the masking noise quiet
Of your breathing nearby
I want you lazy science
I want some peace
Are you the future?
Show me the keys
When I accelerate
I remember why it's good to be alive
Like a twenty-five cent game
Maybe this weight was a gift
Like I had to see what I could lift
I spend all my energy
Walking upright

"Always Love"

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love? Hate will get you every time
Always love? Don't wait til the finish line

Slow demands come 'round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out

But Always Love? Hate will get you every time
Always Love?Even when you wanna fight

Self-directed lives
I want to know what it?d be like to
Aim so high above
Any card that you've been dealt, you...

Always Love? Hate will get you every time
Always Love? Hate will get you?

I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs,
I've been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs.
You said?
Hey, you good ones.
Hey, you good ones.

To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me...
Always love? hate will get you every time
Always love? hate will get you?

I've been held back by something
Yeah, You said to me quietly on the stairs,
I've been held back by something
Yeah, You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said..
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
I?
