Heaven 03:18
Slipping through all the channels you once knew It’s in review the performance was hot but the singer was slipping outta view Heavens not too far And I can tell ya that I’ll take it take it take it take it Heavens not too far And I can tell ya that I’ll take it take it take it take it Making out in the backseat of your broken down Cadillac Skipping stones to the future bet that you never really thought about it Lashing out at the ones who used to show compassion Love is doubt and leaving here is the newest fashion Heavens not too far And I can tell ya that I’ll take it take it take it take it Heavens not too far And I can tell ya that I’ll take it take it take it take it

Such A Shame 03:00
We took a drive on a Saturday night A busted car with a broken tail light She said tell me about your favorite memories I took the bottle and I tasted the wine Yeah we were both feeling fine that night And then I said something right I got a fever its just a feeling in my veins just a feeling in my veins It’s such a shame And your a healer an ill conceiver your imagery is inside my frame Burned into my brain I said no-one ever waits their turn They just take what they get and burn But that’s unfair we’re living in an honest square It goes and goes and goes I got a fever its just a feeling in my veins just a feeling in my veins It’s such a shame And your a healer an ill conceiver your imagery is inside my frame Burned into my brain

Mystified 03:58
What’s it like to throw a riot in the streets tell a cop to kiss your feet like it’s cool? While your friends are throwing stones into the air growing out their body air cause this modern age is cruel? So Find my number below i’ll get you tickets to a show You can call whenever whenever cause I’m always home In this state lonesome lover I got this might strong feeling wanna find another I’ll walk straight into each other It’s in my veins coursing through I swear I’m not a bummer When you’re home it’s always action in your speech never action on your feet but that’s cool It depends on if you’re saying what you mean or just tryna get off clean like those fools We see out at the bars on Liberty and First We could go we could try it we could feel it or would it be the worst? In this state lonesome lover I got this might strong feeling wanna find another I’ll walk straight into each other It’s in my veins coursing through I swear I’m not a bummer

Held High 02:29
The Devil’s got a hold on me He’d like to meet you too Could I give him your number if he paid you a dollar To do the work that we all do I know it’s not a lot Won’t you give it all you got Don’t trust the weight of earth Your innocence your worth Take me to the tomb of god And touch me with your truth Ive always longed for innocence That I lost in my youth I know it’s not a lot Won’t you give it all you got Don’t trust the weight of earth Your innocence your worth
5.
Strangers 02:52
We were older then than we are now And the stars in the sky they won’t come out So I walk to the porch in the middle of the night And your cigarette smiles like it’s the only light in this life It’s got it half right Come with me on a little trip through ecstasy In the middle of the night it’s dark but maybe you could be my light my spark Is there more to this life or just romance I could give you hope but love no chance So if you’re feeling all alone and nothings going right I could never be the one to usher you into new life Come with me on a little trip through ecstasy In the middle of the night it’s dark but maybe you could be my light my spark We were strangers then and were strangers now Come with me on a little trip through ecstasy In the middle of the night it’s dark but maybe you could be my light my spark

Pavillion 02:57
She said it’s never really fate unless you dance in the mirror for and hour a day cause She put the money in my hand says its only a problem says I won’t understand it’s fine But there’s a body in the backseat And I’ve got blood on my hands There ain’t no flashing lights behind me Cause she’s in charge of the plan Always on the run In the desert dirt In the Autumn sun I will taste the earth Let’s set the story straight it was an autumn night The moon was high in the sky we died by candlelight Just cause she whispered in my ear hey I got an idea Let’s steal that fuckers car and get away from here what could go wrong Now there’s a body in the backseat Always on the run In the desert dirt In the Autumn sun I will taste the earth Baby get your gun Gonna have some fun Always on the run Even when your gone

Hey Mister stop that train I left my lover on the platform I swear I once knew her name but I’m petty and self absorbed And now I’ve got you to blame I missed my ICE train to the center of the city tonight You think that I’m insane well come and pick my brain and we’ll kill time till the morning light I’m trying to feel what I once felt To keep from dying I made you up in my mind I hate to think these visions aren’t visual But if I could I would sleep and dream through time Harsh words are often told through the voice of the receiver Who could’ve been the fool to tell the world that I don’t need her And I panic in the night what a bore what a fright what is this life As I waiver the knife with a pulse end a strife I couldn’t leave her And now I’ve got you to blame I missed my ICE train nach the coast of Spain last night I know I’ve got a damaged brain and that my heart is vein but I’ll hold you til the morning light I’m trying to feel what I once felt To keep from dying I made you up in my mind I hate to think these visions aren’t visual But if I could I would sleep and dream through time

Radio Moscow 02:12
Vibe Check He met her at discotheque last year In Chinatown She said This isn’t any fun I hate it here You’re not around Oh but I I’m dying to hear your voice on Radio Moscow Yeah and I I’m dying to feel the signal it sends through In a dream of lucid proportions He aches for massive fame Everyday he works to get better While she forgets his name name name Ah but wouldn’t you too Oh but I I’m dying to hear your voice on Radio Moscow Yeah and I I’m dying to feel the signal it sends through
9.
Fate 02:25
In a room without a soul insight it’s kinda hard to feel alright I’m turning pages twisting hands and I felt Fate It’s not a game you see it’s life and we live it each and every other day Words have weight, people hurt, I give it more than I feel it’s worth Fate I can feel it coming closer Fate I can feel it taking over Fate isolation swallowed my world Fate your action’s loud and my knuckles curl I wrote a poem today but they mistook it I wonder how they read it wrong Well they’re so vein the errors plain and now they’re calling on me to clear my name Fate I can feel it coming closer Fate I can feel it taking over Fate isolation swallowed my world Fate your action’s loud and my knuckles curl

In her eyes a picture of grace forms in the front of my mind They’re watching our lives in the present in the present it unfolds tonight And its beautiful and its safe and its warm and its keeping me close tonight Oh its beautiful and its safe and its warm and its keeping me close I don’t ever wanna lie to you I know You know the things that I used to do but growth Is every second that I spend with you she’s perfect and he’s worth it I don’t wanna kiss I don’t wanna cry I wanna take you out on a midnight drive And listen to the cure in the middle of the night And I know that your friends think that I’m no good and darling they might be right But what do they know they’re just sitting there they’re watching our live watching out lives I don’t ever wanna lie to you I know You know the things that I used to do but growth Is every second that I spend with you she’s perfect and he’s worth it

Recess 03:17
For a minute I’m looking up I’m looking down at anything that takes my eyes of her Or was it a blur I’ve seen your video I know the scenes I know the score I know your moves but still I’m wanting more Who else was it for Oh I feel love tonight Although it isn’t right There’s nothing in the air Who bought your underwear Could live without it You’re in my home you’re in my room your on my mind but what’s it mean to you If its just what you do I thought I knew you well But tapes are films and clothes are clothes I just assumed you took those off swell Is it your mind you sell Oh I feel love tonight Although it isn’t right There’s nothing in the air Who bought your underwear

I know the sun never sets in November It’s like a Stockholm Nacht And lifes a neverender But I’m missing home I don’t wanna be a bore I don’t wanna be your chore I don’t wanna be a bore And she told me have a nice life here’s a clean break just a little pick me up And there’s comfort that its not love this was never love enough There we were on the front hood holding hands She played a record said she thought I’d understand But the wound was deep and the cut is raw I dropped her off in the night it felt so dark My tires slipping on the highway ever stark Then the turn came quick and it was over fast And she told me have a nice life here’s a clean break just a little pick me up And there’s comfort that its not love this was never love enough
