Footprints
04:22
|
|||
|
Bubbles rising, through the water
Evidence, there's something down there
As they break, upon the surface
There's nothing left, no further information
The footprints lead to where I took the fall
They show me where I've been
A place I hardly recognize at all
Like someone else's dream
Neon lighting, casts a shadow
Gives me hints of what's behind me
The sun is rising, shadows fading
There's nothing left, no further information
I remember mountain streams
I'm making sense of childhood dreams
The other part I can't recall
Time has just erased it all
The mountains will remain the same
Close your eyes, a child again
I know there was a painful day
But time has washed it all away

It's In My Head
08:25
|
|||
|
When I was young I felt a certain kinship
with the special people that I'd read about
in magazines and see on TV
I thought by now I'd be a member of that special club
But I can't find the talent to express myself
I'd be a famous singer if I only had a voice
I'd write the saddest poem if I only had the words
I'd be a great designer if I had a sense of style
I'd paint the Mona Lisa, if only I could draw
It's in my head but there's no way to get it out
It's in my head but there's no way to get it out
I know it's there, but there's no way to get it out
It's in my head but there's no way to get it out
When I walk down the street
I blend in with the ordinary people who don't realize
what is going on deep inside my head
If I could send my dreams directly from my head to yours
I'd show you things you've never seen before
I'd write the sweetest music if I only had an ear
I'd film the greatest movie if I only had an eye
I'd be a famous actor if I only had the nerve
I'd tell the greatest story, if only I could write
It's in my head but there's no way to get it out
It's in my head but there's no way to get it out
I know it's there, but there's no way to get it out
It's in my head but there's no way to get it out

Katy
08:19
|
|||
|
Her house is so familiar
She knows all her neighbors
She's got what she wanted
Four walls she would die for
Katy won't leave home
Katy won't leave
She's lost all her family
They live far away now
They will pay her airfare
She says maybe next time
Katy won't leave home
Katy won't leave

Leaving Nothing
04:45
|
|||
|
Bringing nothing
Leaving nothing
Set the stage for No one
Going nowhere
Bringing No one
Lining up for nothing
Bringing nothing
adding nothing
Leaving you with nothing

6. |
||||
|
The mourning's over
The pain is duller
She needs to find a meaning
There's others like her
They come together
Choreographing life alone
Move together one more time
Move together stay in line
Take the rhythm feel alive
Leave the emptiness behind
One last beautiful motion…

Deitrich Crashed My Enzo
07:23
|
|||
|
Where do I begin
Had the fixes in
Living every sin
Then Deitrich crashed my Enzo
Left the past behind
Found a bigger crime
But now I'm doing time
Cause Deitrich crashed my Enzo
Don't ask why, believe my alibi
Partied on 'til five
Let a stranger drive
Lucky I'm alive
Since Deitrich crashed my Enzo
PCH at night
Traffic's really light
We'd almost taken flight
When Deitrich crashed my Enzo
Don't ask why, believe my alibi
There he goes, on the run. That's his gun.
Found my inner peace
Everything was greased
I had my own police
Then Deitrich crashed my Enzo
Keep it in control
Don't violate parole
Watch out for that pole!
Deitrich crashed my Enzo
Don't ask why, believe my alibi

The Years
04:50
|
|||
|
The years slip through my fingers
The night seems long
Tomorrow I'll be gone
And when you're feeling like you can't breathe
I'll be waiting where you found me
The years slip through my fingers
The night seems long
I lay, I stare at your picture
The night seems wrong
When you're feeling like you can't breathe
Don't go running trying to find me
The years slip through my fingers
The night seems long
(And I can't get you out of my head)
I lay, I stare at your picture
The night seems long
The years slip through my fingers
The night seems long

You Call This Art?
04:41
|
|||
|
Picture painted
Image drawn
Showing me what I saw
Written message
Spoken word
Telling me what I heard
You call this art?
I don't know
You call this art?
I don't think so
Building bridges
Over land
I don't think you understand
You call this art?
I don't know
You call this art?
I don't think so

Goodbye
06:28
|
|||
|
I think I'm almost through
I've had enough of you
Some day - you may
Look around and find I've slipped away
No need to talk it out
You'd only scream and shout
Some day - you may
Come home and find you're alone
No confrontation here
One day I'll disappear
Some day - I may
Pack it up, and you won't hear me say
Goodbye, Goodbye
