- Coming Home
what if there's a place i need to know
and what if something's waiting there for me
what if i don't see a future where i'm coming from?
have i ever thought about leaving my house?
never ever thought about burning my town?
will i get rid of all the pictures of my first love?
- Crescendo
Did you hear that crescendo?
That's what you are to me.
You are a wave, a rolling breaker,
getting louder year by year.
You are a swell, a whitecap on the sea.
First you break and then you flee.
You say, only fools have tried to climb you,
- Dancing People Are Never Wrong
This town's a judgmental place
And I'm unsure in any case
It's not under my control
They're taking aim for heart and soul
Not havin' an opinion at all
Is what is left from doing all that research
Is this the curtain call?
- Dear Dead July
The salt taste of a losing game
and not knowing her first name -
but that was fine.
I knew this couldn't last,
she would sail away with me only in her mind.
Seasons rush, seasons die.
Dear dead July, keep bringing me my summer back.
- Gilgamesh Must Die
Out in the streets I could not be seen;
my eyes were nothing but holes.
I cried and laughed - in the pale warm sun,
my tears had nowhere to go.
I tried to kick a coin on the ground
but my legs wouldn't move - I was suddenly old.
I can't hear my heartbeat, cannot hear my drum beat.
- Kick Back
In the light of the evening the moon sends us to work.
We will cut through this mountain, do our dance down in the dark.
We ware lost and we are found.
We all go crazy for the wall of sound, on our way underground.
Whenever day comes we kick back, kick back, kick back.
We kick back, kick back.
- Neon Sand
I want to walk with you
At sunset in Barbados.
I want to talk to you,
And share a drink at Friends Bar.
Until we drift away, into the neon.
Oh lights, I want to know:
Where does your love come from (Whenever you feel low?)
- No Fire Without A Flame
What a day to show your face.
You kiss the glass and leave a trace.
I wonder when I will at last
Feel your warm lips and not cold glass.
You did all that with no goodbye.
Am I the one who's on your mind?
There's no X without a Y.
Are you gonna tell me why?
- Universe
Winner, loser, victim or seducer.
Wonder or computer.
I say - everybody's happy when you laugh at them.
Every generation's modern,
every kid a little monster,
everybody is a boxer
and Jesus walks on holy water.
- You Sir
Is a user what we long to be?
So addicted to quality
in every move we make -
a needle filled
with stuff we take.
If you tell me what you want to try - a professional alibi
for our junkie industry -
