Moon over the freeway catch us as we ride
We just left the city, left it far behind Silhouettes of palm trees, airplanes cross the moon Living in the moment of the girl who left too soon It's warm, my favorite song comes on Let's roll the windows down and drive It feels like summer is a comin' round the corner Here she comes Brings us shells that listen to what we have to say Blows us summer kisses as she turns and walks away There she goes, there she goes Drive right on, the night is young We could drive on and on forever as the hours slip on by They slip like perfect fitting sweaters Over shoulders cold from shortened days and wintry nights Left me in September, I thought that she was gone Invited her to come again, so she could tag along Barefoot on the pavement Warm against our feet Houses filled with music As we drift through lonely streets |

Contrary to popular opinion
The very best things in life are for free Through a practice that I call donation I get the things I want quite easily I got a chip on my shoulder And a halo on my head I'm an angel with an attitude And my favorite color's red I got god on my side Who's that? Hell, I don't know But I practice my religion While I'm stepping on your toes Goodness knows I gave more than I took Goodness knows I ain't no saint I ain't no crook Looking hard, yeah you busy bee For a simple word you charge a simple fee It's a little too late for too little But it's never too late for a lot It's a little too late for too little But it's never too late to take 'em for what they got Feed the world a giant crust of bread Bake a cake and give it to 'em when they're dead Well I'll take that cake and I will eat it too I'll get more than I need so I can share the rest with you |

Critical eyes are gazing
Fat cows are grazing My eyes are glazing How can you see straight with all the lies I'm too young You think you're old Why don't you just hold me cold I don't like it when you talk about yourself like that It changes the way that I feel There'll be no bad dreams When you're lying next to me I don't care about the rules We only answer to ourselves Answer to ourselves Why does my sleep tell me of lies Waking life full of rotten surprise Why do all the strangers care Who knows who is there If you are here and I am where? Trapped in the cell of your own brain Blood is scarcely moving through your shriveled veins Don't let yourself pass you by It can happen in the blink of an eye There'll be no bad dreams When you're lying next to me I don't care about the rules We only answer to ourselves Until we fall awake I feel old now you seem young I spent too much time out in the sun I got a wrinkle to show for every day Give 'em back to me again I'll spend them the same |

Crush me down
An aluminum can Poke me with a fork and half baked yam Toss me in the frying pan I would never bite the hand If I could be sure the hand that feeds me Feeding frenzy on prescription words Swallowing the silence that returns Falling in footsteps petrified by time Under madness are familiar faces And you are just a semblance of before Following the dust and calling it more These are the seeds That beseech the leaves for cover Hiking canyons where people have fallen These are places where some learn to fly Breaking escaping molds that are growing Stepping over cutting off the ties |

Hey there little man
Get out of my fryin' pan I got bigger fish to fry than you It's high time you listen to me I choose my battles carefully So get out of here son Let me show you the door You'll be in trouble then If by the time I count to four One two three four You been messin' with my mind To waste my time is most unkind I got better things to do Than to play these pointless games with you Get down off that horse Before I knock you off Put away your big guns You're acting out of fear But I'm not scared of you On the way out watch your rear One two three four Hey there little man Get out of my fryin' pan I got bigger fish to fry than you You been talkin' off my ear This is the end but you're still here Out of here son Let me show you the door You'll be in trouble then If by the time I count to four One two three four |

Cat in the upstairs window
Staring down at me Life seems to have a purpose When you're wandering aimlessly In the meantime What am I missing I'm missing out In the meantime I will be living There is no meantime There is only now Is there something I'm supposed to be doing If there is I just don't know Tell me so that I can disobey The rules were meant to bend and change If we're not so tight We won't break when we fall Waiting around all day They didn't make the play Don't get mad you'll only get madder It's hard to get even when things don't matter Stop the tape playing Mundane chatter and leave In between the place you thought You'd be and where you are Check my pulse if I'm living Fine time to be alive Feel the breeze, touch the water I'll feel better There's no way I'd rather pass the time Wandering aimlessly |

The hammock that's swinging
Is bringing the good life perspective Sipping canned air in the shade of an apartment that's built to break Did you forget The moment you left Feeling as wise as a sage Throwing your ward across the page Lucky, so lucky to be here To get there, remember where you come from, you're going to And it figures to me It's a shame I don't like it Sum up the parts Counted so high Ten fingers down to ten toes That's about as high as it goes Teachers that teach incomplete Sentences running on and on and on and on Didn't they teach you a thing |

Waking up in the city
What are we gonna do Take a picture to the park Sing songs about the moon I will bring the frisbee I will bring the dog We'll frolic in the pesticided grass beneath the smog Don't gotta worry 'bout bee stings Don't gotta worry 'bout ants Now's the time to take off our shoes And dance that cartoon dance In the afternoon time We will stroll downtown Past messengers on bicycles And men dressed up in gowns If we should get tired, let's just take the bus I hope that it's not crowded so we can sit up front I can't even see them scrape the sky Blurring the fashions whizzing by Sun gets down in the evening Lights start flashing on The city swells with energy The nightlife has begun Kustle and bustle So many sites to see Endless excitement Keeps me up 'till three Don't wanna go to the movies Who wants to sit inside I didn't get on the guest list Don't want to wait in line Let's go eat pierogis at my favorite cafe The waitress are grumpy and Their English ain't so great We'll talk ourselves in circles Til the pancakes are all gone Today's become tomorrow I can see the pink of dawn Oh, I'm getting tired, I'm oh so tired I think it's time to retire Time for bed To rest my sleepy head |

Can't escape a past
That wasn't ever lived All beginnings ended Come back to start again And the people seem to falter As they watch you fall asunder Eyes are open and filled with wonder I'm growing upside down Wisdom doesn't follow Just because you've aged Add a pinch of cinnamon It will make you sage There will be an hour When we'll meet again Maybe I won't recognize You in different skin I can hear you whispering Beneath the din it reels me in Just as the summer melts winter ice Temptations come to tempt you twice You spent too many of you're younger days Wishing you weren't virgin to her ways |

Takin' it fast takin it slow
Don't take it at all just get up and go Come on let's go Tired of sittin' around the house Stand right up Move on out Let's go Let's go already let's go You won't need this You won't need Don't need your purse Just leave your hat Stop stallin' dear We're travelin' far If you wanna look back There's a mirror in the car There's no need to procrastinate Hesitation only makes you late Come on let's go What are we realling rushing for Don't ask me that get out the door Let's go Let's go oh baby let's go Do whatever it will take to get up And get out of here You could rot sitting forever Waiting for the coast to clear Who needs plan A when you got plan B And if that don't work then you got plan C Let's take the road but not on track Prettiest trails are off the patch Let's go |

Listen to the sound bites of your neighbors
Through the paper thin walls Making variations on their stories Told with southern drawls Look into the dustbin Pick through rubbish Finding clues to bare Ponder their discussion Noshed oh muffins Torn up papers spared If you value your own skin Stop yourself from listening in Lovelorn letters Tarred and feathered We are on display Private lives Have all been scattered Mysteries gone away Following traces for disgraces You have crossed the line Walking in shadows searching Secret places it's a sign You've got ears but so have I Listen close as you walk by Sticking your ears Into affairs of others has a price The stakes are higher than you think It's time to roll the dice Won't be so lucky this time around You'll disappear not a trace to be found |

Your head's too big
It's taking up too much room Your head's too big It grows like a balloon And it just might float away And if you're unluckier than that Someone such as myself might come along And it just might pop It was an accident...it just popped Your head's too big It's taking up too much room It's filling with hot air You're making your own self swoon You're in love with yourself Your head's so big and tall How is it then your thoughts are small Your head's so big and tall You found yourself and lost us all Your head's too big It's taking up all the room It's broken through the atmosphere You're rubbing elbows with the moon |
