THINKING ABOUT YOU (ALL DAY)
I’m staring at my watch
The meeting isn’t through
And I’ve been thinking about you
I’ve been thinking about you
I’m flying in a plane, the sky a bitter blue
But I’ve been thinking about you
I’ve been thinking about you
Gone long enough I can’t get to you
Now I think I’ll go out of my mind
I’m drifting in a dream
I want it to be true
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
A billion glittering stars along the avenue
But I’ve been thinking about you
I’ve been thinking about you
All day
I’m riding in a car, I might have had a few
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
The city’s come alive along the avenue
But I've been thinking about you
I’m still thinking about you
I’ve been thinking about you
MR NORMAL
Now strike a lighter note this is a song of praise
Walk on and we’ll pick up the pieces that you made
I can’t believe you are gone
And Mr. Normal he feels anything but normal now
No extraordinary lines to give you pause
To make you hesitate and question moving on
I can’t believe that you’re gone
Cause Mr. Normal’s feeling everything but normal now.
Mr. Normal say hello hello hello hello
Hey Mr. Normal is it normal to be feeling so
Lowdown and lonely as you are right now? Tell me how.
Light me a candle I will sign my last goodbye
In my left pocket you will find all in good time
I couldn’t believe it was true
But no Mr. Normal could be anything but nothing to you
Mr. Normal say hello hello hello hello
Hey Mr. Normal is it normal to be feeling so
Lowdown and lonely as you are right now? Tell me how.
Now strike a lighter note this is a song of praise
Fly on and leave us with the fragments that remain
I can’t believe that you’re gone, and Mr. Normal would give anything for normal now.
MORE
I want more
I look around at these buildings and I realize that I don’t have enough
I need more
Because everywhere are these billionaires
Flying here and there and it’s only fair I get some
Here I am no better than a bum
Crouching underneath the table begging for the crumbs I tell you
I want more
I can’t believe that I’m standing here
Some dancing bear with just so little to show
Here I go like some face painted clown
Dancing all around the tables never getting to sit down I tell you
I want more
So hard now wanting more right now
So hard now wanting more right now
I want more.
Because everywhere are these trillionaires
Flying here and there and it’s only fair I get some
I want more. I want more. I want more.
THE STORY THAT WE TELL
We’ve both changed the same way
Lucky that it ended so well
No sad ends The best friends
Well that can be the story we tell
But stories have a way of leaving more to say
And before you know you’re caught in a lie
Telling everyone that you feel like crying inside
Now I know that you know, one day I just woke up in hell
But I’ll say I’m okay and that can be the story we tell
But what happens to the rest is anybody’s guess
When you bury everything but your pride
It blows up later; it’s only just a matter of time
We’ve got to get away, far away and it will fade away
Stories have a way of leading you astray
And before you know you’re caught in a lie
And you’re telling everyone that you feel like dying inside
We both sound consistent Everything as clear as a bell
Bright future. No sorrow
That can be the story we tell
That can be the story we tell.
That can be the story we tell
Until we’re far away. And it will fade away.
We’ve got to get away And it will fade away
INTO THE RIVERS AND THE SEAS
Well you know we’re coming for you
Don’t try to hide cause we know everything you do
Believe we’re coming for you
A wave is rising and it’ll be crashing over you
Stand up on your feet you ratty boys
Stomp your boot heels to the beat
As we sing this song
All the unbelievers we will drive into the rivers and the seas
The charlatan deceivers we will drown them in the rivers and the seas
So be afraid. You’re running out of time
No where to go cause you’re surrounded on all sides
And each day we’re closer to you
The crowd is forming that will soon be smashing into you
Rise up on your feet
You bratty boys
Lean your shoulders to the street as we sing this song
Hey! We’re coming for you
Nowhere to hide cause we see everything you do
Too late. You’re all out of time
No place to run cause you’re surrounded on all sides
THE LITTLE ROCKET SONG
It's alright
It's alright to feel afraid.
Cause it's too late
Common sense has fled the day.
Sky rockets now are falling around the world
Too bad we never learn
Sky rockets now are falling around the world
Oh well, too late to be concerned
Should have known
There were signs in every day
Could’ve seen everything slipping away
Sky rockets now are falling around the world
Too bad we never learn
Sky rockets now are falling around the world
Oh well, too late to be concerned
Never a compromise
All black and blue
No point in trying to get through
You asked me once if I thought that we’d survive
Well that depends on what it means to be alive.
Sky rockets now are falling around the world
Too bad we never learn
Sky rockets now are falling around the world
Oh well, too late to be concerned
Sky rockets now are falling around the world
