Track Name: Golf Shoes (coming back)
When I go walking,
I put my golf shoes on.
I rail at the ignorant,
And I scream at the sun.

I lose myself at times,
And I think it's all good fun,
But I don't know what to do,
When my life keeps marching on.

Seeing all of my life going by,
Seeing all of my life going by
See the lie and my life goes back.
Don't know where it's going,
But it's coming back for me.

I burn the bridges to myself,
And I think it's all good fun.
I fall asleep on my knees,
But in my mind I still run.

I can't feel anything,
But then again it's still too strong.
So I don't know what to do,
When my life keeps marching on.

Seeing all of my life going by,
Seeing all of my life going by
See the lie and my life goes back.
Don't know where it's going,
But it's coming back for me.
Track Name: Blue Midnight
Blue midnight for the entertainers
Still, they're going on with the show
No one there but the sinners in the corner
Buttoned-down shirts that glow,glow,glow

They got their rights, the saints of tonight
Everyone's left, anyway
The girls laugh and they enjoy their flight
They get so high, high, high today

While the drummer beats a familiar tune
That just seems so out of tune
And the singer just can't find the key
But they don't care for any key

When they rock
They feel alright
It's half past dawn
And he's high as a kite
and It's half past dawn

She's got dirty piercings and a bad attitude
Like a Rebel Rebel and a hand full of ludes
Yeah the saints and sinner go on day to day
And the band still goes on for minimum wage

It's no party but they're all in touch
Speak out loud, just don't speak too much
Because the guitar plays the popular solo
And the keyboard sounds like an old piano

When they rock on
They feel alright
It's half past dawn
And he's high as a kite
and It's half past dawn

Smoking and dancing thru thoughts of dunes
Ripping off their clothing for the full moon

When they rock on
They feel alright
It's half past dawn
And he's high as a kite
and It's half past dawn

She sings her line
While the band plays on tonight
She sings her line
While the band plays on tonight
Track Name: Bad Scars & Past Lovers
Bad scars and past lovers
Leave another war
Heartbreak undercover
Leads you too far

Secret weapon deadly
When it's just too early
Suicide dramas heavy
When you feel so lonely

Have another it'll be ok
You got something that you wanna say
Stay with me and it'll pass the time
Take another drag, try to unwind

If it's you
Then I don't wanna know
If it's love
Then hold me close
If it's true
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

Keep it under file
Don't let em know your style
Bloody nose for kicks
Leave it like it is
Take a chance to stand
And have scorn for the rest
Leave them hanging out
Pleading no contest

Think about it, it's all you should say
Have another it'll be ok
Stay with me and it'll pass the time
feel another feeling that was hard to find

If it's you
Then I don't wanna know
If it's love
Then hold me close
If it's true
It'll be alright

It'll be alright
Just hold up the fight

And all I want is just an easy night
I'll say what you need for the rising tide
In the end I am just like them
I am not worth it, I am not worth it

But love knocks in
It's coming in
There's more to it
But what is it?

If it's you
Then I don't wanna know
If it's love
Then hold me close
If it's true
It'll be alright

It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Track Name: Doo Wop
Pick up a rose, babe
Hold it close to me
Run through the fields, darling
Let your shadow run over me

Oh
It seems you’re so much closer to me
When I open up and talk about it

Come out the door, love
Spend some time with me
Let’s take a walk sweetheart
Keep your hands close to me
Leave when you want, I’ll be there for you
I’ll be hangin’ around, just take good care of yourself

Let me hold you close
And kiss you softly
I’ve never felt anything like that
Now that you’re near

It seems I never look at what I’ve got
I only look at what I want

And darling when you’re with me I
t’s not hard to see, why we’re meant to be
Track Name: Messerschmitt
I can see the things I've left behind
I can see them falling in my life
I can see the skies about to turn

I think about the life I try to live
I think about the love she tries to give

They say that you live what you learn
I know she's the only one left for me
No, she won't do

I look and feel there's nothing left to do
I see it in the way that I see you

I never thought I'd need something to burn

I grasp for something left inside
I feel like I'm too tired to try

Well maybe we get what we deserve

I know she's the only one left for me
But there's more to it than that
I've ignored the ones that want to be with me
Hats off to her for giving me that
Cause no, she won't do
Track Name: Chili
Through the soap and sink and drama
I found my little peace
As I rolled upstairs and off to bed
said this is where I came in
stopped to watch the midnight fair
and saw it wasn’t here
Sobbed, and stoned the sickened tales
So much I couldn’t weep

Broke down the silence with the chatter and the wails
the music blaring gladly
to the sounds of those that failed
yet the memories of melodies
weren’t cheap for we knew em well
The comfort brought by cliches well worn
is what got us out of hell

Cause we’re here and we’ve always meant to be
We belong where our dreams have gone
That reality exceeds
and we’ll find that it all fits in
When we look back at this
that the only thing we needed
was the thing that we most fear
on the stepping stones that lead here
i whispered in the dark
I curse and railed, and on a rant
“... Better stranded in the park”
I count to ten, then count again
Still a feeling deep inside
I love you so much,
I can’t bear to let you see me cry

Much prefer to live under the rules that you set for me
Even if they’re bad for you and me
They destroy everything that was left for us to feel

All along, all alone

In the corner of my bed
I’ve found a little sleep
Woken up at five am
By the stangeness of my dreams
I have dreamt that I was here with you
When you’ve always been here

Now say goodnight to the ones I love
Track Name: Why Don't You
Sitting here at my table, waiting,
trying to get the words to come out.
Wondering and searching in my mind there’s a feeling that is there,
waiting to be found.

I just dont know what it is that I want to say so bad.
Maybe I just feel like saying something to have something to say.

Yeah, yeah.

Sitting here tired but still awake...
Until I’ve found what to say.
Sometimes it feels like I need to discard my thoughts
and just mumble away.

I just dont know what it is that I want to say so bad.
Maybe I just feel like saying something to have something to say.

I know the things I wanna hear,
but I can't bear to speak aloud.
Seems the silence ain't sincere
and words won’t do it now.

I don't know, why don't you?
I don't know, why don't you?
I don't know, why don't you die.
I don't know, why don't you?
I don't know, why don't you?
I don't know, why don't you die.
Track Name: Lisbon
As a few more walk off Santa Justa
I simply wait by the stairs
Three days ago I didnt know you
But now I don't want to take my eyes off you

Feels strange to say
Cause this is my last day
I really don't want to go away
But I'm too broke to stay

So you'll be gone soon
And I won't know what to tell you

Cause it hurts like hell to go but I don't think this is the end
Yes it hurts like hell to go but I don't think this is the end
If truth be told I do believe I'll see you again
And I'd come back if only to see you again

So now I'll meet you by the subway
Another Sagres and I'm well
As I walk these streets one last time
I think about what I'll leave behind

Feels strange to say
Cause this is my last day
I really don't want to go away
But I'm too broke to stay

I barely know you
But I already miss you

Cause it hurts like hell to go but I don't think this is the end
Yes it hurts like hell to go but I don't think this is the end
If truth be told I do believe I'll see you again
And I'd come back if only to see you again
Track Name: Superstar
Once again you've gone away
and you're bound to save.
I found the day you got away
I joined the race.

I've mixed my pain with a bit of shame
and it's all the same.
I've had my drinks, I've found the will
and a cigarette.

I got to know if you just want to see me now
or never again.

Stuck around the see the change
but it's still the same.
Yelled and screamed, said go the hell
that's how you got the name.

I find I know more searching for you
Igotta see everything that you do

I got to know if you just want to see me now
or never again will I find out what is going on
You're an Icon

but now you're nothing but gone

Superstar,
that's what you are
but you ain't got nothing on me

Superstar,
that's what you are
but you're gonna give it back to me

Found out the day I was going to leave you
found out you knew when I'd be gone
you never know just what I'm talking about
you never see me when I'm on my way out

I got to know if you just want to see me now
or never again will I find out what is going on
You're an Icon

but now you're nothing but gone

Superstar,
that's what you are
but you ain't got nothing on me

Superstar,
that's what you are
but you're gonna give it back to me
Track Name: Dancing in a Dark Room
I arrived and I saw you were dancing
I arrived and I saw you were dancing
In a dark room In a lonely room...

I arrived and I saw you were dancing I arrived,
I saw you were dancing In a dark room
Such a lonely room...Oh.

It would take 100 000 years for us to be apart

I am happy to see you
But I have a gun Won’t you play with me
Just for fun

Oh, you’re so lonely
But you’re dancing for two
Won’t you see me In a dark room...

It would take a hundred thousand years...
For us to be apart

Counting one-two
Counting one-two, my love - the beats

(Three green chairs in the back room
Three green chairs in the back room)
It must be love.
Track Name: Distractions
You’re not there
You don’t want what’s at the back of my mind

Lonesome streets or city heat
You think of it as poetry
But in the end when you feel alone
No one’s gonna take you home

You walk past childhood memories
Can’t remember what’s gone
And those nostalgic melodies
You realize you got the words wrong - all along

I need distractions
Cause I can’t go on

It’s time to realize now
That nothing’s meant to be
I want to scream it out loud
Though you wouldn’t hear me
This is an empty street
Where to forget is to forgive
And I’ve got nothing to give now
Track Name: In the Shadows
Ash to ash, so it goes.
For tonight, let's just suppose,
that I'm left gritty, to my own devices
and the hour holds more surprises.

'Cause tonight - I'm going out of control.
I've been like this for most my life.
I want to make it stop, but it grows.
And I could not leave it behind.

In the shadows don't leave me alone.
In the shadows don't leave me alone.
In the shadows don't leave me alone.
You're the only one who knows where I belong.

Dust to dust, I'm still right here.
And if I left, I'd be with you.
And this is just something I'm used to.
A bad excuse and insincere.

I shake away the ash, softly.
Tonight, it's time for me to leave.
And while the dust it leaves from me,
for one last time, you hear me say:

In the shadows don't leave me alone
In the shadows don't leave me alone
In the shadows don't leave me alone
You're the only one who knows where I can be found
(So come and get me if you want)
Track Name: I'm the Wind
Too close to the sun
I know I've hurt more than one.
While I searched, I thought It's not here,
and they were right for once.

So in the afterglow.
Now there's no tomorrow.
I scream it, 'cause they don't believe it.

Don't give up hope,
the love that I lost, she brought to me.

Now she’s all I need,
I need and I forget who I needed.
She’s everything
I'll never cry.

They're good and gone
and she's the only one.
And she's by my side
as we fly yeah oh we fly
