calling out for something calling out your name, holding on for nothing and nothing ever came, who’s to blame? who is to blame? i was only joking when I sent you on your way, never really noticed until the other day, who was to blame. who was to blame. bring on all the dancers and the fighters all the same, put the women in charge and they’ll save us all again, who wants to play? who wants to play?

she will sit in the window with a tipple on her breath, peering down through the curtains pleading, ‘I loved you best’ while the Roma plays violin and we’re all impressed, then he staggers back home for some much needed rest. singing…lalalala this world it is my home lalalala I’ve many years to roam. there’s a shepherd, walks slowly with his mind on a girl, who would giggle and laugh at the end of the world, and he smiles as he wonders that if I had the chance, could I pluck up the courage, could I ask her to dance? singing…lalalala if I would have this chance, lalalalala then I would have this dance. all through the days and the nights, we’ll meet with strangers. all through the days and the nights we’ll meet with strangers, and have a little fun. floats a man in the water with his face to the sky peering up at the clouds and the world floating by thinking nothing could be better as I lay here a while with my mind upon nothing just waiting to die singing who am I to say this is everything and everything is ok? who am I to say it’s the only thing and everything is ok?

Night Sands 03:37
look at them here we’ve go the last laugh once again but who’s going to listen? all the little mistakes that we have made along the way are nothing to fear. who will stop the rain from falling down again? who’ll stop the rain? all the little footprints that we have made along the way get covered in the night sands. all the little misprints, and all the misquotes that we’ve read they’re nothing to change. who will stop the rain from falling down again? who’ll stop the rain? look at all the children. seems who they love to run away we’re not going to chase them listen to the infants and all the laughter that they make it’s not going to change who will stop the rain

i want to know, how does it feel now? i want to know right now just how does it feel? you write the words and offer suggestions to all the questions they ask. well, you could be wrong. we’ll try not to notice.i think it’s better this way. i want to know how does it feel now? i want to know right now, just how does it feel? you move to the left, it’s better off there,come to the west and we’ll be waiting. and when you arrive to show you we care, open the door and we’ll be waiting, because I want to know how does it feel now? i want to know right now. just how does it feel?

so sailed to the harbor did the yachtsman brandishing a smile behind his glass. i knew he had come to make suggestions we both knew, they’d never come to pass. thought I had some money to rely on thought I held the future in my hand, now I see it sailing in the distance. seems like the yachtsman has come back. using the power to convince you losing the sense of control, using the power of suggestion. i wish that you and I were all alone float into the harbor did the yachtsman holding a shovel in each hand. we knew that he’d come to clean this mess up. the one that would soon be left again. using my power to convince you losing my way to get back home, losing my sense of conviction. i wish that you and I were not alone

when I drove into the desert,i picked you up by the side of the road. you asked me to take you to your sister’s. we ended up at the rodeo, and when I asked you to explain you just said, “ i love you more, i love you more.” when you come up from behind, and then you ask me to explain it for the third time today that’s when i love you more, i love you more. when you lower down your draw bridge, and you pull out your little guns, and when you put on some late night music, i love you more I love you more. and when you put on your slippers, and you go walking to the bar, and when you show me your little white teeth, i love you more

set out on a train with your dirty little secrets. watch the colors fade away with the passing of the stations. well you should know by now, it’s no secret. by now, all’s been said. in time we all reveal it. it’s fine for you to feel…then it all makes sense and the fuzzy little lines seem to straighten out a bit in your fuzzy little mind, and by now, you should know all of this. it’s fine for you to tell. in time your gonna feel it. it’s fine, for we all feel. if something’s gonna change, then you’re the one to make it. because when you rearrange yourself, you’ll taste some sweet elation right now, try it now

you’re never around, but, you’re never too far from taking all of the blame. you had it all figured out, but then you took it too far and now you’re walking with the shame well, who was that woman in your lap last night? she didn’t look older than the day. who was that woman and did this feel right?i hope you have something to say. these days we’re so afraid. you might as well, you’ve got the fear in your heart. who’s going to blame you? you might as well, before it tears you apart. who’s going to blame you? well, who was that woman in your lap last night?she didn’t look older than the day. who stole the words from your open mouth? and left you with nothing to say? these days we’re so afraid, everything is going to change these days we’re so afraid, nothing’s ever going to change. you might as well, you dropped a fear in their hearts who’s going to change you? you know as well, you placed the fear in your heart. who’s going to change? you might as well.

Interstate 04:24
we belong to the sound of the inner city. we belong to the interstate. we bow down to the young and pretty, because it’s obvious they’ve got it straight. we like to think that we are all imported from the minds of a better place. we bow down to the young and pretty, because it’s obvious they’ve got it, they’ve got it straight.fire all at once and laugh aloud, at what it is we thought about invite your friends because you want to know what it is you see when no one is around. we belong to the upstart, the underclass. we’ve begun to figure out this resolution is non-binding fire all your guns and shout aloud what it is you’ve figured out ignite the words because you thought about. what it is you feel this weathered hand holds a ticket to a place where you should go. this benedetti is taste of better water yet to flow.

send me nothing that i can’t return. offer me nothing that i should not burn. it’s a long way up. it’s a longer way down. send it off, with love, from the cusp of your hand. how do you think, we’ll get out of this place? and how do you think, we’ll erase this mistake? it’s the wrong direction that we’ve come to turn. it’s the wrong direction that we’ve come to learn. send it off, with love, from the grasp of your hands. you’re the one thing in the world now that i understand. i was only joking when I told you the truth. i was merely lying when I spoke this to you

sally went to the river and she fell down on her knees never was told by those around that her heart was all she’d need, jimmy went to the harbor and he fell into the sea mesmerized by those around who take a little as they leave and when they came together in the middle of the ocean’s fields they were struck on all accounts there was something they forgot to feel that we’re all wasting opportunities we’re all wasting opportunities.victor he had outstretched hands take as much from me as you need his sister grew just a little too fast her life was passing by we’re all hungry now, there’s nothing left to feed we’ve all been traveling far, far enough to see that we’re all wasting opportunities. little light on the ocean, little light on the sea little light in the ocean, is god staring back at me? you said that all I should do is to love you well and fall like the ocean. victor he had outstretched hands take as much from me as you need his sister grew just a little too fast her life was passing by

when you disappeared from the evening’s late night events, we thought you’d reappear, in the morning, with a smile upon your face.but all went scattering when we heart they pulled you in. and we’re left wondering now, what to do? you know we are, we are superstitious. you know we want to be your best friend. you’re not for sale, we won’t take you for granted. you know we’re going to be there in the end. you’re carving castles out of bones they’ve thrown to you. you’re painting pictures only I get to see. you’re finding brothers in some lonely places. you wrap them in a box, it goes far away. sometimes I think about it. oh my god you’re running scared and don’t, don’t want to talk about it.you’re carving castles out of bones they’ve thrown to you. you pack them in a box and run far away. you’re holding on to something so incredible. you know we are...we are superstitious.you know we’re going to be your best friend. you’re not for sale. we won’t take you for granted. you know we’re going to be there in the end

Lazy Piano 04:23
she’s done it again.you can’t figure out the reason. just want it to end so you can go on believing it was all in your head. except when it’s not. and mostly it’s not. and the lazy piano plays all of the songs reminding us of the days when we’d sing along. you wanted the change. you want it in your own way. relations had changed and now you are in the way. and all we ever feared and all we ever held dear and all we ever held aloft is argument all we ever feared and the lazy piano plays all of the songs reminding us of the days when we’d sing along
