On the Downslide
03:29
|
|||
|
Let me tell you something
listen to me good
Take these words right to your soul
make sure they’re understood
Everyone’s a goody
everyone is bad
When you switch the power
You’re still left with what you had
Have we not come so far
that we know who we are
But it seems like we’re right back again
On the downslide
If you think they’re happy
no doubt you are sad
It’s the greatest crisis
that the folks have ever had
Can’t you see we’re all just
searching for someone to blame
Aren’t you so tall when you can put them
On the downslide
Winners want that trophy
right there on the bar
Standing arms akimbo
don’t you know just who they are
You think things are changing
But they stay the same
You seek more attention
But it’s best they don’t know your name
Have we not come so far
that we know who we are
But it seems like we’re right back again
On the downslide

Parade
02:59
|
|||
|
Put on your walking shoes
and head straight out the door
Let no one tell you it’s impossible
Don’t stay inside
Why do you hide?
I don’t care what you’re waiting for
A parade
will take you all about town
A parade
There ain’t no sense in sitting down
A parade
if you don’t try to see where you can go
How will you ever know
How will you ever know
Whoever said that
you can’t make it anymore
why are you so quick to believe
the atmosphere
is cold in here
so pick your feet up off the floor
A parade
will take you all about the town
A parade
There ain’t no sense in sitting down
A parade
if you don’t try to see where you can go
How will you ever know
How will you ever know
Go find the beat
in the footsteps of your street
your life need not be such a bore
A parade
will take you all about the town
A parade
There ain’t no sense in sitting down
A parade
if you don’t try to see where you can go
How will you ever know
How will you ever know

Devil in Your Eye
03:34
|
|||
|
There you are
you’re so calm and you’re so bright
and I feel
your affection in the night
Fascination
Exaltation
Look closer
Got the devil in your eye
In the morning
evil comes to mind
As I see you
approaching from behind
Acceptation
Admiration
Adulation
Look closer
Got the devil in your eye
And you work so hard
just to keep it light
yeah, you sound so damn convincing
when you tell me everything’s alright
And I get so nervous
when you’re out of sight
but if I’m miseducated
can you tell me everything’s alright
Oh you sound so good to me
but don’t think that I can’t see
You got the devil in your eye
You got the devil in your eye
You got the devil in your eye

Ghosted
04:28
|
|||
|
Tell me was it something that I said to you?
Was there something I was not supposed to do?
Said you’re right there with me for all time but then
Well it looks like I’ve been ghosted once again
Gonna hop a train
Gonna rent a car
I’ll be right there everywhere you are
Until I find out why you disappear
Gonna board a plane
Ride a shooting star
I’ll be right there whether near or far
Gonna search until my heart’s around you
Now it’s something that I never thought I’d say
Though you probably won’t hear me anyway
Should have never let myself depend on you
But tell me what’s a guy like me supposed to do?
But hop a train
or rent a car
I’ll be right there everywhere you are
Until I find out why you disappear
Gonna board a plane
Ride a shooting star
I’ll be right there whether near or far
Gonna search until my heart’s around you
Gonna hop a train
Gonna rent a car
I’ll be right there everywhere you are
Until I find out why you disappear
Gonna board a plane
Ride a shooting star
I’ll be right there whether near or far
Gonna search until my heart’s around you

Pressing On
02:44
|
|||
|
We’re pressing on - whoa
Though hope is gone - whoa
We can’t help but do what we do
We’ll never change our minds
We plug away - whoa
No holiday - whoa
You ask yourself when will we all grow up
Where will we draw that line
You wanna know why we won’t give up
this waste of our time
When I wake up, tune in my head
I just can’t say no
It won’t put butter on bread
but I can’t wait for the next show
**solo**
When I wake up, tune in my head
I just can’t say no
It won’t put butter on bread
but I can’t wait for the next show
We plug away - whoa
No holiday - whoa
Heard all about that fortune and fame
The lucky few once had
They lived a life we’d like to attain
not just a fad
When I wake up tune, in my head
I just can’t say no
It won’t put butter on bread
but I can’t wait for the next show, no

All the Way to Chicago
03:26
|
|||
|
Mom and dad don’t know we’re goin’
but we’re heading out on Saturday
please don’t tell them what you’re knowin’
they won’t find out until we’ve gone away
All together all the way to Chicago
All together gonna play in Chicago
Sat in back with Mick and Carlo
and we laughed about the times to come
there’s no such thing as tomorrow
We may as well go out and have some fun
All together all the way to Chicago
All together gonna play in Chicago
All together all the way to Chicago
All together gonna play in Chicago

Not So Bad
02:58
|
|||
|
Ever seen yourself from that one side
Ever stray too far from home
In any case you have it easy
But do you ever see yourself alone
Never felt that you should advertise
Never basking in the light
Anything you wish to happen
Do you think it will make things alright
We’re on our own
and somewhat lost
and we can’t be sure
were our chances tossed
Ever know yourself to criticize
Ever spoil what you once had
Have you looked down from your mountain
Ever realize it’s not so bad

Tap Out
03:07
|
|||
|
See your weekend comin’ to an end on a sunday afternoon
and you’re sick of all the questions in your head
If you look for the answers
You could end up dead
I can’t expect you all
to know just what I’m on about
I can’t expect to know myself
so I just tap out
In celebration of the mornings when you have nowhere to go
and you’re happy to avoid all humankind
you may feel like a target
you could lose your mind
I can’t expect you all
to know just what I’m on about
I can’t expect to know myself
so I just tap out
you could look for the answers
but don’t waste your time
I can’t expect you all
to know just what I’m on about
I can’t expect to know myself
so I just tap out

Doll
02:28
|
|||
|
You don’t smile at all
Up against the wall
I don’t make much sense
There goes self defense
Have you got a lot to say about it
while you stand there like a doll
Is there something we can do about it
just when you thought you’d seen it all
Every day’s the same
You want me to blame
But I must confess
I could not care less
Have you got a lot to say about it
While you stand there like a doll
Is there something we can do about it
Just when you thought you’d seen it all
Just when you thought you’d seen it all
Seen it all
Now have you got a lot to say about it
While you stand there like a doll
Is there something we can do about it
Just when you thought you’d seen it all
Now did you think you were the main attraction
While you stand there like a doll
Have you figured out a course of action
Just when you thought you’d seen it all

World We Walk Through
03:49
|
|||
|
It’s cold outside
in the world we walk through
where do we find
the ones we talk to
the ones who’ll be there
the ones who call you
They’re out of sight
We’re losing asleep in the world we walk through
we’re on our own
it may not shock you
don’t think you’re special
we’ve all been there
It’s cold outside
Here in this world we’re roaming
in this place and time
anything can happen
but we lose our minds
easily distracted
lead so far astray
stealing all our money
blowing us away
Here in this world we’re roaming
in this place and time
anything can happen
but we lose our minds
easily distracted
lead so far astray
stealing all our money
blowing us away
It’s cold outside
in the world we walk through
where do we find
the ones we talk to
the ones who’ll be there
the ones who call you
They’re out of sight

Like a Suicide
03:20
|
|||
|
They hold the cards when they don’t care no more
They sit there lofty on their throne, whoa
They make out alright
while you can’t sleep at night
man, it just ain’t right
While you languish at the bottom
And they’re climbing to the top
you forget just how you got ‘em
Oh ho ho
like a suicide
woah oh oh
how you feel inside
woah oh oh
when you’re cast aside
woah oh oh
They’re at the wheel when they don’t care no more
They sit there staring at their phone, whoa
claiming things are fine
And they wonder why you whine
It’s the perfect crime
While you languish at the bottom
And they’re climbing to the top
you ain’t got them where you want ‘em
Oh ho ho
like a suicide
woah oh oh
how you feel inside
woah oh oh
when you’re cast aside
woah oh oh

The Antidote
03:41
|
|||
|
Send me something from your past
Make me feel at home
Hold on to the things you need
So you are less alone
This could be the antidote, you see
and it’s been right here all along
Endless are the possibilities
Can’t wait to see what we’ve done
Seems there’s no place we can go
Yet we can’t go wrong
Every minute counts that’s true
but pictures last so long
This could be the antidote, you see
and it’s been right here all along
Endless are the possibilities
Can’t wait to see what we’ve done
This could be the antidote, you see
and it’s been right here all along
Endless are the possibilities
Can’t wait to see what we’ve done
