Here comes that feeling again
Here comes that feeling again
Follows me everywhere I go
In your chameleon skin
And your alligator grin
You’ve got a long way to go, such a long way to go
And I am really feeling so
I can remember a time
When my time was all mine
That was a long time ago
But in the blink of an eye
My butterfly fluttered by
And it will never let me go, never let me go
And I am really feeling so
Something in the way, yeah
Something in the way
You say ‘There’s nothing in, nothing in, nothing in my way’
Here comes that little girl again, comes that little girl again
Follows me everywhere I go
In your chameleon skin
And your alligator grin
You’ve got a long way to go, such a long way to go
And I am really feeling so
Something in the way, yeah
something in the way
You say ‘There’s nothing in, nothing in, nothing in my way’

Meteorite

Now that all has been laid to rest, never ran, second best,
Now that everything’s left behind, out of sight, out of mind
Still it takes so much to break down,
Gotta fake it while you can.
Till you hear the voice of reason,
Can you help me understand why we never seem to talk about it?
How come you never really say who you are?
Meteorite, falling star,
How come you never really say what you mean?
Erudite, plasticine
Still it takes so much to break down,
Gotta take it while you can.
Till you hear the voice of reason,
Can you help me understand why we never seem to talk about it now?
Still it takes so much to break down,
Gotta make it while you can.
Till you hear the voice of reason,
Can you help me understand why we never seem to talk about it, never seem to talk about it now?
See how you are?
See how we are?

Runway Lights
03:59

|
I want to write it on the wall
Spray paint it on the Taj Mahal
For you
We move in circles that glow in the dark
We spend the night in the amusement park
For me
October winds are blowing in time and time and time again
You saved my life, again tonight with two outs in the bottom nine
The moonlight serenading the road
The head lights dance to the fifty amp load
For you and me
A 3-D panoramic view
The runway lights remind me of
You and me
October winds are blowing in, time and time and time again
You saved my life, again tonight with two outs in the bottom nine
I want to write it on the wall
Spray paint it on the Taj Mahal
October winds are blowing in time and time and time again
You saved my life, again tonight with two outs in the bottom nine

Blown Apart

Blown apart
That’s how you’ve got my heart
I’m blown apart
These feelings linger like graffiti art
Miles away
That’s how you’ve got my heart forever and a day
Like throwing darts at a weather chart
I’m blown apart
Something in
Something in the summer coming crashing in
Like ocean water we begin again
All and all
It’s all around you and will catch you if you fall
Like a work of art that will break your heart
And leave you blown apart
Don’t you ever spend a day
Without knowing that I’m with you all the way
Glimmer girl
An open invitation sent to welcome you to the world
Like throwing darts at a weather chart
I’m blown apart

Captain Sir Tom
04:46

You look like you could use a minute or two
Well I’ve got one for you
You look like you could use a shoulder to cry on
Got one of those too
It doesn’t matter where you go
It doesn’t matter where you hid
Rain is gonna come before the sunshine
Just roll along
Sir Captain Tom said once you’re rolling, just keep rolling on
My mother told me “Son don’t”
Told my mother “I won’t, stare at the sun”
No corner can they paint you, colors that just ain’t you
There’s only one
It doesn’t matter where you go
It doesn’t matter where you hid
Rain is gonna come before the sunshine
Just roll along
Sir Captain Tom said once you’re rolling, just keep rolling on
Locked down and started marching
Circles round the garden with Captain Sir Tom
Ain’t anybody’s business, Cupid is a vicious phenomenon
It doesn’t matter where you go
It doesn’t matter where you hid
Rain is gonna come after the sunshine
Just roll along
Sir Captain Tom said once you’re rolling, just keep rolling on

Trip to the Moon

On a trip to the moon in a hot air balloon
Next we’re flying to Mars care of Tesla Cars
Back at Mission Control all systems are GO!
I bought a ticket to ride on a Soviet slip and slide
Ain’t no doubt about it, It’s your move
Ain’t no doubt about it now, It’s your move
Another trip round the sun on the planet earth
Is surely good for a beer on your date of birth
The Jet Glow Girls and the Sunburst Boys
Go on and on and on about it
The conspiracy’s in, and the moonwalking men
don’t get a chance to weigh in on it
Ain’t no doubt about it, It’s your move
Ain’t no doubt about it now, It’s your move
Your move, your move, your move
On a trip to the moon in a hot air balloon
Next we’re flying to Mars care of Tesla Cars

Help Yourself
03:53

She left him standing in the driveway like some broken out old car,
She said “You never see things my way,”
Now you wonder why it is,
You got it so bad, thinking life done passed you by,
You got it so bad, thinking it ain’t worth a try,
To Help Yourself
You say your friends can’t comprehend or understand
The state you’re in,
You change your hair, your clothes, your makeup,
But won’t change yourself within
You got it so bad, thinking life done passed you by,
You got it so bad, thinking it ain’t worth a try,
To Help Yourself
You followed a gut reaction, but now you’re the main attraction,
What you need’s a broom to sweep these pieces from your life,
You’ve had it to here not knowing where it is that you ain’t going,
Or when you can find something to truly call your own, not Heaven sent
She left him standing in the driveway like some broken out old car,
She said “You never see things my way,”
Now you wonder why it is,
You got it so bad, thinking life done passed you by,
You got it so bad, thinking it ain’t worth a try,
To Help Yourself

Misty Franklin
She’s not the girl she used to be
When she was an arrow shot right through me
Misty Darling
The center of the universe
Playing records in reverse for Misty
Misty Franklin and Me
Early morning
I’m standing on the corner of
The first time that I fell in love with Misty
Misty Franklin and Me
The sidewalk chalk all washed away
As yesterday turns to today
As tomorrow wakes to have its say
Misty Franklin
She tried to sleep it off
But when she woke she smiled, although she felt like dying, smiling
She’s Misty Franklin and Me

Me and The Bean
03:39

There’s a girl in my yard
Reading me my Tarot Cards
She don’t know anything,
But she’s beautiful to me
My Eyes are opening again
I see you as you’re marching in
I bring you cover when you’re cold
You give me youth, when I grow old
Do you remember when you were small
How everybody seemed so tall
I am your shadow in the dark
I have your blood inside my heart

I get up to turn the CD over,
You call to say you’re working late again,
I’m working late on a hangover for ten
I get up to pour some food for Rover,
Wash the cat and put the clothes out back,
Got lots of time to figure how I got off track
Ooh, when I’m down and out,
She believes in me, like no one else believes,
When she looks at me, she sees someone else,
The Man Who Would Be King
You’re working hard to get a big promotion,
I’m working hard to just get out of bed,
Can’t stop this guilt that keeps on pounding in my head
Ooh, when I’m down and out,
She believes in me, like no one else believes,
When she looks at me, she sees someone else,
The Man Who Would Be King
Ooh, when I’m down and out,
She believes in me, like no one else believes,
When she looks at me, she sees someone else,
The Man Who Would Be King, The Man Who Would Be King

There's No Time

She was floating in outer space
Just to have a laugh or two
I was hoping to find your face
Spend some time together
There is no time, we don’t have a moment
There is no time, we don’t have a moment
I’ve got good news, I’ve got bad news too
And a good prescription
Take a picture, take a second look
Make it last forever
There is no time, we don’t have a moment
There is no time, we don’t have a moment
And don’t you cry, because it’s over
It’s never over Nova
I’ve got good news, I’ve got bad news too
And a good prescription
There is no time, we don’t have a moment
There is no time, we don’t have a moment
So take a moment
