LET'S GO
Hey now baby come over to the other side
You've been good so long it's time that you go wild
When you get old will you look back and smile
At the work you've got at your desk piled high
No sense in resisting
This is not a choice
No I won't be listening
If your answer's no
Let's go
I don't know if you realize
The week is gone and it is Friday night
So come on baby take those keys and drive
It's time to celebrate being alive
Look what you've been missing
I hope now you know
You can miss the deadline
Don't you miss the show
Tonight is the night
We take this town by surprise
Don't you think it's time
To do more than survive
Look what you've been missing
I hope now you know
You can miss the deadline
Don't you miss the show
Let's go!

The Look In Your Eyes
03:01
|
|||
|
I just grew up about a day ago
I want you to notice
I want you to know
That I understand the look in your eyes
Yesterdays slumber parties
Are today's dancing close
Mysteries long hidden begin to unfold
And I understand the look in your eyes
Teach me, plant your seed
So that I might bloom
Teach me what it is I see
In your eyes so blue
Oh you've got what I need
No I won't say it
I'll let you pass by
But I know the thoughts
That roll by in your mind
And I understand the look in your eyes

Quarter-Life Crisis
03:43
|
|||

I threw my pennies in a wishing well
But all they did was fall
Now I'm stuck here with my hopes
By the fountain at the mall
Everything used to be so easy
When everything was just for now
They say that forty's the new thirty
I don't want to count that far
When he was twenty one he became a star
At the age of seventeen we knew that she would go so far
I missed my chance to break the records
I spoiled my youth now it's all gone
Though I still think I'll live forever
Everyday I'm getting old
I had to take the streamers off my bicycle
The kids in the park they say “hey lady”
And before you know it
They're going to make me have a baby
So I can be just like my mom
Everybody says relax now look how far you've come
All that I can see is everything
I have not done
I threw my pennies in a wishing well
But all they did was fall
I look back now to a time when I felt that I could have it all
Now I have to chose my battles
Now I have to work all day
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't
Jealous of the kids at play
I looked into the mirror and saw a wrinkle
I'm sure it's just the way the light did fall
Do you really think they're going to make me have a baby
Cause I can't be just like my mom
Just like my mom

The Things That You Do
03:04
|

Look at you, you sweet thing
I’d give you anything
Cause you’re the one who makes me come
Running to your arms
I don’t mean to make you blush
But you give me such a rush
and I can’t be held responsible
If I just can’t get enough
Ooh Ooh the things that you do
You-ooh are too good to be true
So stick with me baby
Cause I’m crazy for you
The thoughts you put in my head
Probably shouldn’t be said
But if you really must know
Come closer dear and I'll let you hear
Ooh Ooh the things that you do
You-ooh are too good to be true
So stick with me baby
Cause I’m crazy for you

Travelling In A Storm
03:57
|

Travelling in a storm
We keep passing under rain clouds
The rain comes pouring pouring pouring down
Thunder and lighting surround us
We forget there is a road we’re on
Travelling in a storm
We can’t see where we’re going
Travelling in a storm
We forget where we’ve come from
The yellow line is getting blurry
The roads a rocky rocky rocky road
We need to get there in a hurry
There’s no sign of the weather clearing up
Travelling in a storm
We can’t see where we’re going
Travelling in a storm
We forget where we’ve come from
Oh but when the sun is shinning
The sky is clear, the world is drying
We forget there ever was a cloud
Maybe someday the clouds won’t find us
We can leave these storms behind us
When we learn to head for higher ground
We keep passing under rain clouds
The rain comes pouring pouring pouring down

Zen Boyfriend

Look into my eyes
Can't you see that I am serious
Take me by the hand
And I'll show you the way
I'm the only one who knows
The path to true enlightenment
Of course you won't mind
If I go astray
Zen boyfriend so proud of
Your lack of conceit
The girls come in droves and
They land at your feet
No need to spend money like those other guys
You can dispose of those pretty white lies
Zen boyfriend, Zen boyfriend
The Buddha's on your side
I am so unique
An artist and a poet
I've written things down
And I'm willing to show you
Just come into my room
And take a seat upon my mattress
We can light a candle and
Do what comes natural
Zen boyfriend they told me
You're not what you seem
You tell a good story but
In the end it's all a dream
No repercussions though your figured-out
Now more then ever there is no doubt
Zen boyfriend, Zen boyfriend
The Buddha's on your side
Zen boyfriend
I suggest you meditate
Your good
Karma's running out now
Quick before it's too late
No need to worry as to what is your fate
If you'd be yourself you could still get a date
Cause Zen boyfriend
The Buddha's on your side

The Back Of My Hand
04:08
|
|||
|
We've spent too many nights
Dangling from this rope
The tension I fear is strangling us both
Everything's wrong cause we both think we're right
It seems like we'll never make it through the night
But I know you'll stay and everything's going to be OK
I don't know much but I know I can say
That I know you
Better than maybe you want me to
I know you Like the back of my
The back of my hand
With veins to my heart
We all have a plan a place we should go
The best way to get there
We all think we know
But some days I wake up and all I can see
Is that I'm so far away
From where I thought I should be
But you calm my fears
You take my hand and you dry my tears
You say you'll have your day
I don't know much but I know I can say
That I know you
Better than maybe you want me to
I know you
Like the back of my
The back of my hand
With veins to my heart
Life is full of doubt
So many things I don't know about
But I know you
Better than maybe you want me to I know you
Like the back of my
The back of my hand
With veins to my heart

Used To Be Girl
03:47
|

I used to be a looker said the girl at the bar
In my younger days
I could have been a star
Wasn't I a beauty all decked out in curls
Now I'm just a used to be girl
The boys down here they like me
They always make me smile
I go to their apartments every once in a while
But that young thing in the corner
Makes their tongues unfurl
And I remember I'm a used to be girl
There's a picture in the paper of a prom queen and she smiles
She knows she's got the world by the balls
I cashed in all my pretty and all that I got
Was a lousy ex-husband and this here hot spot
Hello there good-looking
I ain't seen you here before
The dance floor it is shaking and there's room here for one more
So if you will forgive me for not shining like a pearl
I think I might be willing to give this thing a whirl
And I could be a used to be a used to be girl

Something's Missing
02:49
|
|||
|
You tried to explain yourself
I guess you guessed I was onto you
I couldn't quite pick it out
At first I had some doubts
But now I know
You lost your soul
A-oh oh
Is it on a shelf ?
Did it fall out somewhere?
Take a good look at yourself
You'll see you need it
Oh so bad
You'd be so glad
A-oh to get it back
It must be hard for you
To be so evil and so cruel
I'd like to help you but
Each time you're near
I get freaked out
So I'll save myself
And stay away from you
Maybe someone else
Will be brave and help you out
Who knows
They might find your soul
Your secret's safe with me
I'm sure nobody else can see
It hardly even shows
I bet you that they'll never know
Until you open your mouth
Or maybe breath the air
They might figure out
There's something missing there
Oh no You lost your soul

I Didn't Know
04:24
|
|||
|
I didn't know how far I could go
Until he took me to the edge
I didn't know I didn't know love
Until my heart to him
I pledged I didn't know there was a secret
Until he whispered in my ear
Now it's so clear I didn't know
You think you know and you're going to tell me
You and all your good advice
You think you'll show me exactly what life is
And how we all must pay a price
But I've been watching you and all your silly games
You know I once was the same I didn't know
There's no way until the day arrives
You will see what so many prophesize
It's not lost to you It just wears a good disguise
Right now you're jaded
But someday you'll realize
You just didn't know
You don't have to think of where to look
It knows how to find you
Everything you're searching for is just one step behind you
I know you have it figured out but if I could just remind you
Though the opposite is said
It's without love we are blind
There's no way until the day arrives
That you will see what so many prophesize
It's not lost to you
It just wears a good disguise
Right now you're jaded
But someday you'll realize
You just didn't know

Pick Me Up
02:04
|
|||
|
How did I sink to the bottom again?
When everything was going so well
Trying to figure out where I fit in
Trying to get out of this hell
But I can see the light
Shining at the end As long as when I fall I know
You’ll pick me up again
I’m trying hard to keep things light
Not to be too serious
Sometimes in the middle of the night
I wake up delirious
But you are shining bright
When darkness is at hand
I may spiral down
But it is in your arms I land
You’re far away tonight
I need you here so damn bad
Remember when my love
You and me was all we had
Now our lives are so complicated
I’m so glad we made it
I’m all right I’m OK
As long as when I fall
You’ll pick me up again

Same Old Thing
04:16
|
|||
|
It's all been said before
It's all been done before
Still we're all looking for more
Of the same old thing
There's a million places to eat
Just like the one across the street
And all the people that I meet
They wear the same old thing
Same old lies
Telling us what to buy
Same old cheats
Who poison what we eat
Same old laws
That put money in their paws
Same bored masses
Who keep sitting on their asses
It's the same old thing
We do it to ourselves
Then we blame someone else
We think it's just a game
It's the same old thing
We'll buy our happiness
Who cares about the rest
We call this progress
It's the same old thing
Same old thing
Nothing new to me
There are people who remember
How it used to be
When we wanted to be free
Of the same old thing

Over The Waves
03:18
|
|||
|
I've been sitting here drinking coffee
Nothing left to do but wonder
Where you are
Much too far away
Nothing left to do but ponder
This big blue sky we're under
We're all so small
I feel the weight of the world on me
I went over the waves to try
To free myself from my chains
Oh what a surprise to find It is you who has the key
I've been thinking let's start over
I was young but now I've grown and
Where you are is where I've found I need to be
I've been playing the game so long
I didn't know that I could win
I think I'll come in from the cold now
Where the warmth has always been
