Skyscraper
Tower to the sky
Cloud raker
Dizzy at your side
Sister of mine
Won't you grab some sunshine
And don't you worry, we're in no hurry anyway
Breath taker
The view from fifty flights
Moonraker
Playing on my fear of heights
Sister of mine
Won't you grab some sunshine
And don't you worry, we're in no hurry, anyway
Sister of mine, playing in the moonlight
If the sun doesn't shine, the stars are alright, tonight
Roller coaster
Falling from the sky
Getting closer
New sensations in her life
Sister of mine
Won't you grab some sunshine
And don't you worry, we're in no hurry, anyway

Ex-Wife Birthday Card

Everybody’s askin’ ‘bout you, hoping you’re ok,
Nobody expected it to end up quite this way,
I know it must have been real hard to do what you have done,
The way things were is over now, the way things are’s begun
Now you’re free, to be where you should be,
It’s over you and me,
I never wanna hold you back from all the things you’re wonderful at,
Now you’re free, yeah you’re free,
Now you’re free, we’re over you and me
There’s nothing to get mad about cause,
No one’s placing blame,
It would have been much harder to have,
Kept things just the same,
There ain’t no use in hangin’ round,
When nothing’s left to say,
You ask if I regret a thing,
I don’t a single day
Now you’re free, to be where you should be,
It’s over you and me,
I never wanna keep you from all the world’s got waiting for you,
Now you’re free, yeah you’re free,
Now you’re free, we’re over you and me

Shana na na na na
Shana na na na na
Shana na na na na
She don't know better
Shana don't know, don't know
Shana don't know, don't know
Shana na na na na
She don't know better, she don't know better
That I take your hand in mine
But Shana don't know, know, know
Shana na na na na
She don't know better
Shana don't know, don't know
I'm in a way
Shana don't know, don't know
I'm in a way
Exceptional as she is
Shana don't know, don't know
I think that I'm gonna miss
Your cashmere sweater
The day I met her
Shana don't know, don't know
I'm in a way
Shana don't know, don't know
I'm in a way
I'm in a way, I'm in a way

Politics of Misery
02:19
|
|||
|
The politics of misery are fine for you but not for me,
It doesn’t really matter much,
But you could say I’ve really been out of touch
Yeah, you could say it doesn’t matter that much
The trendiness of apathy may sell for you but not for me,
It doesn’t work out quite that way,
But you could say I made it through it ok,
Yeah, you could say it doesn’t work out that way
But I won’t be the same tomorrow,
Leave you there with all your pain and sorrow
Cynicism as currency may work for you but not for me,
You never knew your back was broke,
But you could hear it every time that you spoke
Yeah, you could see with every line that you wrote
But I won’t be the same tomorrow,
Leave you there with all your pain and sorrow

I sat upon the alter and waited for you to arrive
The hardest part of flying is looking down before you dive
Your love was made for taking
But I can't take it when your gone
It leads me on and..
Every boy in town
loves your pouty frown
It only seems to bring me down
Kites are made for fling, but ytou can't fly without the wind
Your lips were made for kissing, but you can't kiss without a friend
So glad the waiting's over
Because I just can't get over you
No matter what I..
Every boy in town
loves your pouty frown
It only seems to bring me down
I'm on a road, far from home
Take me there, thake me there
Oh you can save me
I'm on a road, far from home
Take me there, thake me there
Oh you
And we could throw a party, and you could be the last to leave
And maybe in the morning, you would agree to marry me
Bat every boy in town
loves your pouty frown
It only seems to bring me down

Jill Stood Still

Jane was framed, pretty as a picture
Her colored hair was no disguise
Sue was new, to the plsce she's living
But I can't seem to remember a thing
But I, Feel like letting go
Just like moving in slow mo
Can't get caught in the undertow
Scott was not quite the man of the moment
His sudden fall, no surpise at all
Jill stood still as the moment passed her
Like a pretty girl on a beautiful day
But I, Feel like letting go
Just like moving in slow mo
Can't get caught in the undertow
A frown was found on leggy Peggy
With skinny Lynn, her one true friend
Call Sergeant Sam just to make a connection
And Martha never comes around
But I, feel like letting go
Just like moving in slow mo
Can't get caught in the undertow

Fireflies
02:38

Candlelight and fireflies were never meant to be,
The things you did for other ones,
But never did for me
Porno stars and burglar bars, will never go away
The things you found forevermore,
Will not believe this day
Here we are, perfect in every way
Candlelight and fireflies were never meant to be,
The things you said for other ones,
But never said to me
Here we are, perfect in every way,
Candlelight and fireflies
Here we are, perfect in every way
Candlelight and fireflies were never meant to be,
The way it was for other boys,
But never was for me

It Makes No Difference
01:54
|

|
I’m looking out upon a sea of blue and red
I’m seeing visions that are clouding up my head
The Sun above above shining on my every day
Here in my heart and in everything I say, oh yeah
You’re everywhere I go and in everything I do
I hear the wind, like I’m listening to you
I’m taking chances, but I know there ain’t cure
I thought that I had seen it all, but now I’m not so sure
And it makes no difference
It makes no difference, oh no
We can’t belong where we do not want to be
It can’t be wrong, to accept and set it free
I look around but I don’t see anyone
With the weight of the world on your back can weigh a ton
And it makes no difference
It makes no difference, oh no
It makes no difference
I’ve loved you ever since
And it makes no difference, oh no

The Trouble with Angels
03:46
|
|||
|
You sometimes get left with some pretty bad choices,
Like choosing ‘tween living and life just the same,
It gets harder and harder and harder to change your direction,
Another life wasted, well who’s left to blame
Darling my angel, this can’t be reason,
The hearts of a million others left wanting,
A thousand reminders of what once was Heaven sent,
The trouble with Angels,
Is I ain’t believed one yet
She told me she knew now that life weren’t worth livin’,
I asked her why but she hadn’t a clue,
She cried over and over and over, I’ve nothing worth givin’,
I tried to stay two steps ahead but she knew
Darling my angel, this can’t be reason,
The hearts of a million others left wanting,
A thousand reminders of what once was Heaven sent,
The trouble with Angels,
Is I ain’t believed one yet

At the Liars' Club Cathedral
Sit the not so good and evil 'round the year
I waited there for hours, listened to the lying flowers choking tears
Has anybody seen my sweet Marie
Has any body seen her here?
Someone said "I'll tell ya something, at the liars table somethings are just not as they appear"
Oo, I was realing
Oo, seemed so surreal
Oo, familiar feelings
Let go the wheel, Let go the wheel
I said "Hey Mister Savior, I think I will see you later on next year.
Awe, my girl don't leave me hanging on to words that
that leave you strung out like a long walk on a short pier"
Oo, I was realing
Oo, seemed so surreal
Oo, familiar feelings
Let go the wheel, Let go the wheel
Let go of the wheel and you will find out why you feel the way you do
And then tell the one you've told a million times, a million times
Except for this time it will be true
Oo, I was realing
Oo, seemed so surreal
Oo, familiar feelings
Let go the wheel, Let go the wheel

I wanna see your face tonight, by every parking lot’s dim light,
I wanna hear your pretty voice, each and every little noise
I wanna be there where you go, I’ll tell you everything I know,
I wanna see you once again, I wanna talk and be your friend
I want to tell you how I feel, I want to tell you how I feel
I wanna call you on the phone, pick you up and take you home,
I wanna hear where all you’ve been, I wanna walk and hold your hand,
I wanna see you out today, so I hear everything you say,
I wanna drive you in my car, and bring you flowers from my yard
I want to tell you how I feel, I want to tell you how I feel,
I want to tell you how I feel, I want to tell you how I feel
I wanna talk to you all night, and watch the sunrise in your eyes,
I wanna be the one you call, to not say anything at all,
I wanna see you out tonight, I wanna know everything you like,
I wanna go with you somewhere, I wanna see starlight in your hair
I want to tell you how I feel, I want to tell you how I feel,
I want to tell you how I feel, I want to tell you how I feel

I wrote a letter to my girl
Told her, she's the best thing in my world
Easy, easily amused
You're easy, easily amused
I got a letter from my girl
Told me not to worry about diamonds and pearls
Easy, easily amused
You're easy, easily amused

Believe Forever
02:22
|

You can never believe forever,
Still tomorrow might count for something,
Seems this all is now next to nothing,
But you must find a way to carry on
All the times that you left without it,
Cause of something you never fell for,
Now the reason you feel is no more,
But you must find a way to live again
Somehow, I now
Believe in everything you ever told me
Now then, I’ll fend
Off all the rocks and slings,
The pain in life it brings to everything
You can never believe forever,
Still tomorrow might count for something,
Seems this all is now next to nothing,
But you must find a way to carry on
Yes, you must die to try to live again
