I had a bad dream and as the night progressed
Drenched in silliness I watched it all unfold Oh dear, if there is any truth to this Somebody wake me and serve up some good white lies I had a bad dream in which the phone would ring And drown out everything, it kept me on my feet But down in streets so quiet now I can hear ticking from meters and bounce When I fall asleep and I climb these four walls Wake up in the middle of conference calls But go on forever about nothing at all Good luck, don't you feel so bad Just don't get your hopes up Oh, there's no reason why I had a bad dream and as the sun came in I threw out everything that kept me company I held my breath to feel alive The damage is measured against the regrets The potential of tragedy hangs you bad threads Strike up the banjo and sing us a song Good luck, don't you feel so bad Just don't get your hopes up Oh, there's no reason why Good luck, don't you feel so bad Just don't get your hopes up Luck, whether good or bad Doesn't come from justice Good luck, don't you feel so bad Just don't get your hopes up Oh, there's no reason why |

Tell me what you think about this song
Sue me if you reckon it's too long I wanna know how you really feel Tell me what you think this is funny? Spending all my time and my money? Trying to find how you really feel. The radio's perfect pitch makes me nauseous ohhhh! The dimwits are digging a ditch on my heartbeat radio Tell me what's the deal with the static FM has become automatic I wanna know did the DJ drown In a sea of reverb and compression ohhhh! Wait till you hear the refrain on my heartbeat radio My darling waves can be replaced But I will remember you I'd sell my soul for your adore (?) Still I'm not receiving you. Tell me why you're changing the station What comes after heavy rotation? I wanna know am I coming through I wanna know what I've done to you You're wearing out my favorite song and everyone elses ohhh! Nothing but sad honky-tonk on my heartbeat radio My darling waves can be replaced But I will remember you I sold my soul for your adore (?) Still I'm not receiving you Tell me what you think about this song... Tell me what you think about this song... Tell me what you think about this song... Tell me what you think about this song... Tell me what you think about Tell me what you think about Tell me what you think about We laughed and cried but don't ask why My poor heart still beats for you Oh my heartbeat radio My darling waves can be replaced But I will remember you I'd sell my soul for your adore (?) Still I'm not receiving you Oh my heartbeat radio Oh my heartbeat radio |

It's a travesty, where do I begin?
The ways in which I have behaved I'm glad no one was keeping track of me Like a tambourine, driven by the beat I forgot what time it was I wish someone were looking out for me Some of you may think That I regret some of my doings I'd do it all again if I had the chance Just like Lazenby can I do it over? Don't I get a second try? Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled Just like Lazenby Like the swirling sun I haven't burned out It's better to etcetera I won't bore you with these things we tend to say Like a fairytale with blood on every page My failures brought about some blessings Someone must be watching over me Even though I wonder Why I did some of my doings I'd do it all again if I had the change Just like Lazenby can I do it over? Don't I get a second try? Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled Just like Lazenby Just like Lazenby, just like Lazenby Burning every bridge Endless opportunities I squandered On the way to this event Just like Lazenby can I do it over? Don't I get a second try? Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled And reluctantly begged forgiveness just like Lazenby |

My baby's building a sand castle
And someday we're gonna live on the shores But now a days we just hold our breath Until the meeting next Monday And it's going through the roof We're blowing through the roof If only you guys could see us Me and my baby, we bicker But I know the talented devil inside And so we bond over raising toasts Two absent minds who paint the sky Two absent minds expecting to fly My baby does tend to contradict It's only natural That it's going through the roof B-blowing through the roof If only you guys could see that I'm giving you the proof I'm telling you the truth They were gonna call tomorrow Two absent minds expecting to fly My baby knows how the world goes around We'll jump the rails and abandon this town Sometimes I blush when imaging How big it's gonna be really, really Blowing through the roof We're going through the roof If only the world would follow I'm giving you the proof What do I have to do To make sure you all believe us? If only you guys could see us now |

This could be asking for more than I merit
This could be testing your patience I really don't have a whole lot to draw from But I'd be willing to learn, only Don't expect too much style and finesse But don't be surprised if I impress I say this even though I'm almost sure by now you know I say this even though I'm almost sure by now you know |

Is it hot in here or have I lost myself again?
Is it hot in here or is it only me? If I leave the room maybe things will settle down If I get back let's pretend we never met 'Cause I know I'm so easy to persuade Why do I cling to the little that remains? But in the end there's something you can't erase Oh, but you know I'm so easy to persuade Is it hot in here 'cause my pulse is running scared? From a beating heart with something to defend How hard can it be to tell the truth from what you're told? Get out now while there's still some air left in the tank 'Cause I know I'm so easy to persuade Why do I cling to the little that remains? But in the end there's something you can't erase Oh, you would know I'm so easy to persuade Is it hot in here? I don't know that you would know Oh, whatever, don't know why I even ask 'Cause you know I'm so easy to persuade How did you know I would shoulder all the blame? But in the end I guess some things you can't erase Oh, but you know I'm so easy to persuade I'm so easy to persuade, I'm so easy to persuade |

You be words, and I'll be music Ain't you heard, that's how they do it? You're a poem when you're on your own I'll try not to get in your way But I've all the poems I have known, baby, you give me something to say I'll be words, and you'll be music I concur, I can't refuse it You're a sad little tune by yourself So lovely I wanna sing along If there's one thing I know I can tell, when we get together we're a song Whenever I'm with you it's true it's Everything you say and do it's Words & music, you & I Listen here, I've gotta say it It's so clear, the way we should play it I will carry you, together we'll float through the sky We can marry too, together just look at us fly Whenever I'm with you it's true it's Everything you say and do it's Words & music, you & I When we fight it's rock & roll When we make it up, it's soul And in the meanwhile, freestyle, play-by-ear, improvise It's clear we go together, it's been like this forever You & I and words & music Whenever I'm with you it's true it's Everything you say and do it's true You and I are, you and I are You and I are words & music You be words, and I'll be music Ain't you heard, that's how they do it? You're a poem when you're on your own |

"You better know by now,"
she said I made no effort to defend myself against her claim There wasn't anything to add And so I blurted out "I guess it's gonna rain today." What a silly thing to put you through I know better Lost for words because I'm losing you Didn't I promise you I knew better Hurry home before the sky Breaks out You can't predict Things that happen all the time Hurry back Don't take my word For it babe I don't know But I guess It's gonna rain today I don't know But I guess It's gonna rain today She said to get the hell away And left me standing in the doorway like a tired cliche I thought I had it all pinned down Now I'm the guy who said, "I guess it's gonna rain today." Oh the fine line between Street smartness And a smart ass Oh the skipping beats of confidence And the drum roll That you thought you could play Hurry home before the sky Breaks out No point predicting Things that happen all the time Hurry back Don't take my word For it babe I don't know But I guess It's gonna rain today I don't know But I guess It's gonna rain today But I'm sure that you've known this All along Oh, I'm sure that you've known this All along |

Well, it's all over now
Oh, I'm not gonna beg to differ So unfit to be lounging with her You've been running around now Running around, running around But you made your mind up And you couldn't believe your luck now How the chemicals combined And still how you were running around now Running around, running around now, now, now So go and fake one more mistake And choose to be so cruel I can't defend myself against almighty moon Oh, it's all over now It was peachy for a while, then bitter The start was flawless but you'll end a quitter Always running away now Running away, running away When you sweat the truth out Little something pulls you right back in trust Little nothing's to be pulling tricks Just to keep you running around now Running around, running around now, now, now So go and fake one more mistake And choose to be so cruel I can't defend myself against almighty moon Wake up, wake up You made your last mistake The world can be so cruel I won't abide the tide of your almighty moon My old almighty moon I know your tricks too well, now please |

Popular spoons
Sweeten the swoons You know the drill right up until They find you don't carry their itinerary around It's such a sad beguiling thing You've got it bad It's not a fling But you can't play the part without breaking your own heart into two Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find I fought all the devils that wanted to change me and break me down Don't look now Look away They make the rules You don't want to sell out You've got the tools they don't allow but They are no boundaries just recoupable royalties and men. The lights go out a thunder roars a silly thing You can't ignore till you've overstayed your welcome with those who've paid for All your dressing up Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find I fought and resisted back when they secused (?) me and brought me down Don't look down Look away Oh can't you see there's nothing to collect Oh but tell me what did you expect It's so stupid and selfish all the same And so sad you can't go again Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find Fought and resisted when they tried to change me around But this just become so predictable it's hard to stay aground Cut me some slack Never look back Don't look now Look away |
