the calendar lies feel like i'm getting younger tomorrow is gone i can't wait any longer the future goes up in flames couldn't burn any stronger i can hardly breathe too close to the sun feed the fire nothin' wrong with me too close to the sun feel the fire opportunity knocks and the door opens wider tried to sell my good name never did find a buyer you say my future's in flames i say it's all lookin' brighter i can hardly breathe too close to the sun feed the fire nothin' wrong with me too close to the sun feel the fire

The man in the room has flowers Shades of yellow - skin and bones Waitin’ for son and daughter Usin' words like sticks and stones The man in the room is movin’ Dancin' darkness on the wall Growin' the longest colors Wheels and shadows in the hall And sometimes I wonder if he sees the light under my door The girl with the book has powers Turnin' pages - big ideas Keys to another corridor Lookin' to sell her panacea The girl with the book is smilin' All calm and cool and collected Happy to serve somebody Runnin' along - disconnected And sometimes I wonder if she sees the light under my door Come to - come to life Come to - come to life Come to - come to life Sometimes I wonder Sometimes I wonder Sometimes I wonder Sometimes I wonder

Odd Man Out 04:12
i've been sort of wonderin' not enough to matter just sort of wonderin' somewhere in between thinking and not somewhere in between getting and got odd - man - out choosin' sides, choosin' sides odd - man - out you decide, you decide i've been sort of tryin' not enough to matter just sort of tryin' somewhere in between honest and not somewhere in between the shooting and shot odd - man - out choosin' sides, choosin' sides odd - man - out you decide, you decide

Bridges 04:33
Sailors travel the harbor Exiles, patriots Terror shakin' on buses Prisoners, immigrants Crossin' back and forth Headin' south and north Runnin' over me Runnin' under me Runnin' over me Runnin' under me Trailers haulin' small houses Jumpers, life savers Children pedalin' daydreams Lovers, flag wavers Ridin' back and forth Goin' south and north Runnin' over me Runnin' under me Runnin' over me Runnin' under me A bridge to the future A bridge to the past Too many secrets I'm sorry I asked Over Under Over Under Over Under Me

Call me petty Call me anytime Finally The perfect urban crime Fight me Bite me Maybe I'll fight back Who cares As long as we react Runnin' water Mornin' sun Bloody mary You're no fun I'm hidin' you In my bedroom I don't like wonderin' where you've been with killers in the closet Say I'm pretty Say it like you mean it Sell me a little self esteem Pick my pocket Leave an IOU All good As long as I'm with you and you Holy water Holy son Mother Mary Have some fun Get off your knees Come dance with me You keep my secret I keep your sin with killers in the closet Take my chances Take my time Got no answers To deny Take my chances Take my time Got no answers To deny Take my chances Take my time Got no answers To deny Shallow water Wayward son Sister Mary No more fun I'll follow you I always do Under the guilt of a white man's skin With killers in the closet With killers in the closet With killers in the closet With killers in the closet

Pretend It 03:49
My father's only gun Scared off his only son Bear hugs and tremblin' hands Trigger the shiftin' sands I can I can still remember Pretend it never happened No one has to know We often end up goin' Where we shouldn't go Pretend it never happened Make yourself a deal Pretend until - till it's real `Till it's real My girl is too far gone And she keeps movin' on I'll miss her when it rains Excuses can't explain I can I can still remember Pretend it never happened Say it isn't so We often end up goin' Where we shouldn't go Pretend it never happened Only you know how to feel Pretend until - till it's real `Till it's real `Till it's real `Till it's real

Be My Jury 05:11
Try - I don't remember the loaded questions Try - there's nothin' here to find Love - is silent to the end Listen - listen to the peaceful, hollow sound Hear the guilty hit the ground If I'm to blame - I have no shame I won't confess to anyone Who's gonna be my jury now? Why - I took the fall for you That you took from me Why - we brought this on ourselves Love - is blind when it begins Listen - listen to the mystery and the doubt Can we figure any of it out? I'll raise my hand - up on the stand I won't confess to anyone Lost innocence is never found If I'm to blame - I have no shame I won't confess to anyone Who's gonna be my jury now? I won't confess to anyone Anyone Anyone Who's gonna be my jury now? I won't confess to anyone Anyone Anyone Lost innocence is never found I won't confess Anyone Anyone Anyone Who's gonna be my jury?

All those words All those books All those wasted words In all those good books How could he? Why would she? God would not have all that much to say God would not have all that much To say Hold on to the golden rule Hold on to the golden rule Throw the rest away Throw the rest away God would not have all that much to say Hold on to the golden rule Hold on to the golden rule Throw the rest away Throw the rest away Throw the rest away Throw the rest away Hold on to the golden rule Hold on to the golden rule Throw the rest away

Wall around this city Keepin' all the crazy in Load your weapons, hide your fear Hopin' that the guys win Better hope the good guys win And if you'd only search your conscience Oh what a difference it could make Rewrite the moral of your story All give, no take Ring around the halo Keepin' all the crazy out Lock your mind up, find a key Sing it from the roof so loud Singin' what you know about And if you'd only wait a lifetime Oh what a habit you could break There is a hand for every basket All give, no take And if you'd only search your conscience Oh what a habit you could break And if you'd only wait a lifetime Oh what a difference it could make And if you'd only had more chances How would you live those yesterdays? There is a door outside your window All give, no take All give, no take All give, no take All give, no take

Don't make me count backwards Or walk a straight line Here's not the place and now's not the time Parked cars frame the strip Rollin' off the film's edge The moon's out of focus and I'm off my meds Arguments and accusations spill out over the lot Reckonings and retributions Is that all you've got? Put some money in the meter Compensate and reconcile Put more money in the meter We'll be stayin' for a while Don't make me crawl forward Or talk a straight line Here is the place and now is the time Cold songs fill the air from a summer flat tire The stars are for sale and I found a buyer Arguments and accusations Gather under the light Reckonings and retributions Take a wrong and make it right Put some money in the meter Compensate and reconcile Put more money in the meter We'll be stayin' for a while Arguments and accusations Rise above power lines Reckonings and retributions Find your high road, I'll find mine Put some money in the meter Compensate and reconcile Put more money in the meter We'll be stayin' for a while Put some money in the meter Compensate and reconcile Put your money in the meter We'll be stayin' for a while
