Happy Ending

Back from the dead So loudly
The colors explode So proudly
Bow to the lord Devoutly
I hope I'm wrong about all of that
The news from the front is on its way back
To reduce the facts for me
Can tell by the trade you’re plying
The bases are all supplying
The not in the know keep buying
I hope I'm wrong about all that
The rumors keep coming and then going back
Whatever the facts may be
United we stand I doubt it
The pull of the strings won’t allow it
Burn at the moon How 'bout it
I hope I'm wrong about all of that
The jets of Enceladus are sending their best
We’re always impressed with them

Had To Be You

Standin’ in the doorway
Lookin’ for the truth
Wouldn't have it any other way
No that wouldn't do
It had to be you
Don't ya get me goin’
Don't ya turn me on
Someone should be showin’
Me how to get along
It has to be you
Yeah it had to be you
Straight to hell
You just can't tell
So here we go a-knockin’
On everybody's door
Someone tried to tell me
We been here before
It had to be you
Oh yeah it had to be you
Never never saw it comin’
Came straight from hell
Kinda sorta seems like
You just can't tell
So here we go a-fightin’
Rollin’ on the floor
Someone had to tell me
What we were fightin’ for
It had to be you
Oh yeah it had to be you
You just can’t tell
Straight to hell

Rest Of The Way
03:40

Heard something ringing the midnight bell
Stopped to get a listen
See what it tell
The whispering between more or less said it all
Now I gotta get me a back to a wall
Now and then and everyday
How to get the rest of the way
Laying down a low ball
Put it in play
Figured how to fight it
Keep it at bay
For now it's gonna get me through the day
And then it's gonna get us the rest of the way
We came we saw
We took it away
And now we try to get through the day
Heard something ringing the midnight bell
Stopped again to listen
See what it tell
Kids they said prepare for a fall
Someone has to pay for it all
How you supposed to know
How you supposed to know
Something shined a light on
Just what to say
Declare yourself the winner
Get out of the way
Now and then and everyday
How to get the rest of the way

A Credit To You
02:17
|

|
I'm a goner that's back again
I stand before you with hat in hand
I give it all I got
I take what I have not given away
Many within us are counting on you
You haven't had enough
You haven't seen enough
to change your mind
But you do all the time
Whatever happens
A credit to you
Whether good or bad
Whether has or had or hasn’t been
But what will be will be
And what will be believed
And then denied

Why'd You Wait So Long
03:00

The present is the past
Nothing ever lasts
Man its going fast
Gone before you say that it’s gone
Baby why’d you wait so long why’d you wait so long
Movin' on
Baby why’d you wait so long why’d you wait so long
Catch it if you can
The glitter in the glam
Its coming back again
Before you know it
But it’s gone
I ain’t gonna wait that long Ain’t gonna wait that long
We’ll be gone
I ain’t gonna wait that long
Ain’t gonna wait that long for you
Its over man its through
Ain’t coming back to you
Something pulls you in and starts your head to spin
But swinging in the wind only gets you so far
Then you’re gone
Baby why’d you wait so long why’d you wait so long
We’ll be gone
Baby why’d you wait so long
Why’d you wait so long to do
Those things you had to do
A little late to be cool
Baby why’d you wait so long why’d you wait so long

Ashtray

When I finish with my cigarette
I toss it out the window with a fleck
I do it every day because the world is my ashtray
I'm just a fuckin' slob
What can I say
And when I go into a restaurant
I smoke up all the ciggies that I want
If smoke gets in their face its cuz they're violating my air space
I've heard some people say what a dick
And if by chance my ashtray gets filled up
I simply dump it in a parking lot
Then comes a rainy day and it just washes it away
Choke a couple fish out in the bay

So Many Pieces
04:49

So many pieces
Still no picture to see
It's cold in here
Will it always be just me
Cuz I can't stand more icy breath on my face
Blowin' me around keepin' me in place
So many pieces in a pile at my feet
The puzzle's clear but the image changes scenes
Cuz I can't stand more icy stares in my eyes
Lookin' at the world from the other side
So many dramas and so much to be
But I forget my lines when the camera points at me
So I'll just stay a bit part in a big play
Be a leading man some other day
So many pieces just float in the sea
It's cold out there where the ice used to be
Should I just stay or just float away
Maybe work it out some other day

Funny

Funny what bugs me
What kisses and hugs me
What hates and what loves me
That's funny
Its not funny
But we laugh again
The message was blurred and smoothed
But somehow it got through
And some saw it coming
And some took off running
That's not funny
But that's kinda funny
So we laughed again
I don't hold a grudge
And I try not to judge
And I found out the hard way
There’s nothing without us
But there's a bell that's ringing out and casting doubt about
We haven't been this far out
Since we last won the scratch and shout
So repeat after me
We’re young as we will be
And we’ll age gracefully
We will
We will if we get out of the way
We will when we don’t have enemies
We see it all for what it can be
Lets have a look behind these eyes and see if this thing can fly
