time stands still for no one
i'm behind again i push and still i see i'm getting nowhere quick i'm staying late again worlds turn in the time i catch another breath i know a little more will surely do the trick i can't delay no i can't be late i can't take the time but i plan to when i'm done i can't waste the day nothing ventured nothing i don't think it's wise to be idle when you're young oh i have to go i'll have time to live tomorrow take a message for me tell the wife i'm sorry deadline's almost here and there'll be more recitals anyway there are bills to pay i can't take the time but i plan to when i'm done i can't waste the day nothing ventured nothing i don't think it's wise to be idle when you're young oh i have to go i'll have time to live tomorrow i have to go angels spread my wings and see the fences tumble ageless memories they watch the strong man crumble at my feet what is this i see i can't take the time but i plan to when i'm done i can't waste the day nothing ventured nothing i don't think it's wise to be idle when you're young oh i have to go i'll have time to live tomorrow i have to go |

sinking
while the water rises in a stream helpless as my indecision's drowning me tripping over things that i should clearly see speechless when a word would save me it's words i fear if i falter would you help me make it right if i run for shelter will you hold me for the night if i trust you will it help me see the light i've lived my life alone i've learned my lesson reaching out to no one who can give me help feeling for the candle as i burn myself if i falter would you help me make it right if i run for shelter will you hold me for the night if i trust you will it help me see the light i've lived my life alone i've learned my lesson i've learned my lesson stop and overcompensate for all the times that you've been afraid the world's become a conversation close the door somebody just might hear you never break the silence never break the law never let them in it seems so complicated it's not all us & them if i falter would you help me make it right if i run for shelter will you hold me for the night if i trust you will it help me see the light i've lived my life alone i've lived my life alone if i falter would you help me make it right if i run for shelter will you hold me for the night if i love you will it help me see the light i've lived my life alone |

any town
any day the separation's real and i find it is based on nothing passed from father to son mothers to their girls enough and i fall once again from my own ideals and i fight back the fear of something that i don't understand but learned when i was young and i know that it's strange i know that it's strange and i think it will take us more than legislation i think it will take us more than filling graves and i say that you can not force appreciation lie on lie i will not run away from the battle now if it seems that's the way i'm fighting i will just pass away the pieces of my life 'cause i know that it's right, i know that it's right and i think it will take us more than legislation i think it will take us more than filling graves and i say that you can not force appreciation lie on lie |

You, the candlelight and me
Are as peaceful as a moving train You're as far as I can see From the person that you once had been Trade the life you broke into For the things you see in me All the while you swagger through Am I too demanding? Oh, it's a shame to me How the sun can shine so brightly You can hardly see And then you end up screaming Show me something Do you receive what you want? And you say, "Oh, no, it's nothing" Then walk away If I said show me something Would you receive what you want? And you say, "Tell me nothing" Release me The shadow across the open road Shines a light on what we used to know How much blind have we become When our minds are made up to the foe Helping sight reveals the truth Of the bitterness of men No surprises left in view Am I understanding? Oh, it's a shame to me How the sun can shine so brightly You can hardly see And then you end up screaming Show me something Do you receive what you want? When you say, "Oh, no, it's nothing" Then walk away If I said show me something Would you receive what you want? And you say, "Don't tell me nothing" Save me Oh, it's a crying shame How the sun can shine so brightly In your open face And still you end up screaming Show me something Would you receive what you want? And you say, "Oh, no, it's nothing" Then walk away If I said show me something Would you receive what you want? And you say, "Don't tell me nothing" Release me, release me I said, show me something Do you receive what you want? And you say, "Oh, no, it's nothing" Then walk away If I said, show me something Would you receive what you want? And you say, "Don't tell me nothing" Save me |

So you come to see me now
When I'm trying to work it out Say you sort of felt somehow You want to help So you spent some time alone He didn't want you anyhow So you thought it out and now You're back to stay and you'll change And I don't believe you care And I don't believe you will And I don't believe there is anything You might say that can repair And I don't believe you will And I don't believe you care And I don't believe you'll hear anything In this song I'm saying Time is on my side And I like to be alone And it matters what we hide I'm not your home Will you ever know And I don't believe you care And I don't believe you will And I don't believe there is anything You might say that can repair And I don't believe you will And I don't believe you care And I don't believe you'll hear anything In this song I'm saying And I don't believe you will You're back to stay and you'll change And I don't believe you care And I don't believe you will And I don't believe there is anything You might say that can repair And I don't believe you will And I don't believe you care And I don't believe you'll hear anything In this song I'm saying 'Cause you're not there And I don't believe you will I don't believe you see I don't believe in me |

Life chases fiction
With contradiction Pick yourself up It's all right Blood marks the pavement So this is where I am Well stop the car And look around We're getting nowhere I'm not looking for a miracle And I wasn't born a Kennedy And I wonder If time would stop tomorrow Would I hunger For things I never had And I wonder Am I going to anyway I hunger for you and me, you and me Gold I can see it Beyond my reach but I can't give up until it's mine Green is how I see the The fence's other side There is no room for open minds We need some action I'm not looking for a miracle And I wasn't born a Kennedy And I wonder If time would stop tomorrow Would I hunger For things I never had And I wonder Am I going to anyway I hunger for you and me, you and me Let the water fall on me And I wonder If time would stop tomorrow Would I hunger For things I never had And I wonder Am I going to anyway I hunger for you and me, you and me |

How many times have you taken advice from a man who hates?
Seemingly selfishless sentiments hiding his war paint How many nights have you laid awake fearing the next crusade Did you sleep well last night What will it take? The clock on the wall it sees everything And I worry 'bout it 'cause It's tick tick ticking opn It's just ticking away And I wake And I want to say That I'm done with the sleeping And all is fine And I wake and I'm standing here If it's not a dream Then I can't believe That I'm awake I see a place where the houses are all just exactly alike All of the cars are one color and there's only one type Each has the same dog and same cat and same fucking tank of fish Dinner's the same time and all the same dish The clock on the wall it sees everything And I worry 'bout it 'cause It's tick tick ticking opn It's just ticking away And I wake And I want to say That I'm done with the sleeping And all is fine And I wake and I'm standing here Waiting for the day When we open our eyes And I wake And it seems to me That's it's all or it's nothing Are we so blind And I say Hey is it time to see This is not a dream And I can't believe that I'm awake How many times have you taken advice from a man who hates? Did you sleep well last night What will it take? And I wake And I want to say That I'm done with the sleeping And all is fine And I wake and I'm standing here Waiting for the day That we open our eyes And I wake And it seems to me That's it's all or it's nothing Are we so blind And I say Hey is it time to see And I can't believe That we're standing here With our hands on our eyes and ears hoping it goes away This is not a dream This is not a dream This is not a dream |

So I'm high again
And I'm looking at my only friend in you And you're high too Does it sound unreal That my house is full Of nothing I can feel I look for some direction and I find A woman who won't reach me And a man I ask him what it means And he says It's up to you Johnny you must do What you have to do And he said It's up to you Johnny do what's right But do for you So I crashed the car And I turn up loud my old guitar and play Some Ramones or Hendrix thing 'Cause it seems to me That all I see Is that you didn't mind a thing And all I say just goes right through Have you seen my lonely days Do you know I wouldn't be like you . And he says It's up to you Johnny you must do What you have to do And he said It's up to you Johnny do what's right But do for you So I'm high again And I'm looking at my empty bed it's strange I can't feel a thing Though the lights are low The candles on my coffin Let me know The woman cries for her I know How come you never heard me Oh man How come you'd never see You'd just say It's up to you Johnny you must do What you have to do And he said It's up to you Johnny do what's right What I did I did for you |

I've seen people live, I've seen them dying
I've seen people in love, I saw you trying I've seen the glory train, I've seen the spirits scream Like burning acid rain, yeah, you see I feel the pain too I saw the world was green once, I saw the people riot on I've seen the good ones die and I know my eyes don't lie I saw you turn and walk away, I thought I heard you say Someday we must agree and I agree And I give to you what she gives to me A little consideration and a little love And she wants from us what she gives for free A little consideration I've seen true lovers fight, I've been a liar I've seen the children pray to someone higher I've seen the TV screen, I felt the world close in From what it said to me and I know you've seen the pain too I saw the water clean once, I climbed the mountain to the top I saw the eagle fly and I know that time goes by I came here yesterday and now it's gone away Someday we must agree and I agree And I give to you what she gives to me A little consideration and a little love And she wants from us what she gives for free A little consideration The girl is crying Oh, yes, the girl is crying Save the world And I give to you what she gives to me A little consideration and a little love And she wants from us what she gives for free A little consideration And I give to you what she gives to me A little consideration and a little love And she wants from us what she gives for free A little consideration See the girl is crying Oh, yes, the girl is crying Save the world, save the world Save the world, save the world, save Save the world, save the world Save the world |

The sun goes down, the lights go out
You go to sleep and dream about What you wanna be when you're grown Every day they steal your prayers You keep your secret hidden from them far away And you never share what you know Dream what you are, you sunflower Be what you are, sunflower Your father said it's in your head He knew someone who knew someone Who wound up dead, we all wind up dead We all wind up dead and you know The shadows start to steal your heart They get inside and piece by piece They tear apart your very soul And your very art and you know So turn and face the sun again Dream what you are, you sunflower Rise up and face the sun again Be what you are, you sun flower We always run towards the sun You lead us on and cut us down, you cannot run From the damage done and there's damage done And you know We'll turn and face the sun again Dream what you are, you sunflower Rise up and face the sun again Be what you are, you sunflower So turn and face the sun again Dream what you are you sunflower Rise up and face the sun again Be what you are, you sunflower The sun goes down, the lights go out |
