“I’m Alright”
I’m alright
I’m alright
I don’t need someone else to tell me
I’m alright
I’m alright
ask yourself why you’re staring at me
with your blue hair
and your blonde eyes…
ambulances waiting for you outside.
you’re so strange
but don’t change
you’re the only one stranger than me
and i’m alright.
i’m alright
i’m alright
i kick the judge
and i spit at the jury
i’m alright
i’m alright
ask yourself what you want to be
when you grow up
will you throw up
when you think about boys like me
that’s alright
that’s alright
but dont bother begging me for mercy
and i’m alright.
i’m ok
you’re ok
i’m ok
you’re ok
i’m alright

I Can Save Your Planet
03:57
|

i can save your planet.
i can save your planet.
if you tell me where you are.
can you give me the coordinates of your nearest star
and i can save your planet.
what’s your situation?
run from the machines.
they want to turn you into one of them,
computerize your dreams
and i can save your planet.
yesterday just broke your heart
now where am i supposed to land?
with your transmissions fading
i’m lost in the palm of your hand
and i can save your planet.
i can save your planet.
i can save your planet
that’s all you ever want me for.
i can save your planet
like i did the time before.
i can save your planet.

Technology

We have mastered fire.
We control the light.
And we talk on waves as we rule the sky.
We have found the cure.
We have altered life.
We have hounded down God to the dawn of time
but we have lost something.
We have lost something.
When we find the truth will we close our eyes?
We have found so much
that it’s a strange surprise
that we have lost something.
We have lost something.

Crying Time
04:27
|
|||
My, oh, my…
it’s time to cry.
My, oh, my…
it’s crying time.
Keep me in your heart.
Don’t let me fade away.
Keep me in your heart
and love will save the day.
It’s a crime
don’t take it all.
It’s a crime
don’t make me crawl.
Deep within your heart
don’t let it slip away.
Deep within your heart
love will find a way.
My, oh, my…
it’s time to cry.
My, oh, my…
it’s crying time.
Sleeping in your heart
not far from light of day…
Sleeping in your heart
love’s not so far away.

Hourglass
04:19
|
|||
I’d rather see you in the morning
than a thousand suns on the rise.
Kiss your fingertip for me,
then dry the tears from your eyes.
I’m so far away and right by your side.
I’d rather see you in the morning
than a thousand suns on the rise.
I feel you pass through me
as clouds collide with clouds.
Your spirit is lonely and it’s winter down south.
In whispers it told me
the hourglass never made a sound.
I’d rather see you in the evening
than all that’s in the heavens bound.
Write your name on my window
in fog of breath on shattered glass.
Seal your sorrow in a jar there…
The fate of dreams is… they cannot everlast.
They trip on time, they fall behind, they’re gone so fast,
beyond the reach of everyman.
I’d rather see you in the morning
than a thousand suns on the rise.
I’d rather see you in the evening
than all the stars in the endless skies.

Home
03:54
|
|||
Hell No.. I won’t go…
Please don’t you take my home.
I’m far… all alone…
Please don’t you take my home.
Home… home is wherever you are.
Home can be out in the stars.
Home can be Venus or Mars.
Home can be broken or safe…
and even if I lose my home
it will be standing tall
because every time I close my eyes
home will be safe in my mind.
Heart vs wrecking ball…
please don’t you take my home.
Bank man don’t take it all…
please don’t you take my home
Home… home is wherever you go.
Home can be out in the stars.
Home can be Venus or Mars.
Home can be broken or safe…
and even if I lose my home
it will be standing tall
because every time I close my eyes
home will be safe in my mind.

Money Game
05:19
|
|||
You gained the world…
You gained the world and lost your soul… think about it.
You found some bread…
Found some bread and lost control.
“Your place or mine?” that’s his line
But what’s his name?
You suck him dry and tell him lies…
It’s a money game.
You kiss and tell.
You’re all the same.
You play so well.
It’s a money game.
It’s a money game.
You won’t get far chasing stars on their way…
Knowing that we’ll play little bars
Until big black cars come someday.
You kiss and tell.
You’re all the same.
You play so well.
It’s a money game.
It’s a money game.

Shadows In A Jar
04:37
|
|||
Forest dwellers told of storytellers
and things they saw
like remains of a war on a star.
Bones in black robes
dragging burning crosses through the sky.
They glide on moonlight roads
I’ll take a midnight ride.
I wonder why…
I wonder why we shed our wings at birth…
to want the sky and walk the earth.
You silly humans standing shaking
in the dark.
We’ll take your souls,
heaven knows,
they’re only shadows in a jar.

Get Real
02:24
|
|||
I’m knockin’ on your head like knockin’ on a door.
There’s a light on but nobody’s home.
I’m lookin’ in your eyes like watching my TV but
I’m not buying what your sellin’ me.
Get real
Get real
if you wanna talk.
Get real
Get real
if you wanna talk.
I’m talkin’ to you all like talkin’ to a wall but
I’m not cryin’ if the sky should fall.
You play the same old game… find someone else to blame…
Isn’t that the name?
You better get real, babe.
Get real
Get real
if you wanna talk.
Get real
Get real
if you wanna talk.

Like Magic
03:58
|
|||
Some things stay some disappear
And the reasons are never clear.
Life is like magic.
Life is like magic.
See the woman sawn in half.
See the children and how they laugh.
What is illusion?
What is real?
How do I know how to feel??Life is like magic.
Life is like magic.
Seasons change, we all know that.
But how does a rabbit live in a hat?
Life is like magic.
Life is like magic.
And I believe in magic.
And I believe in love.
Don’t want to know the secrets…
Don’t want to spoil the fun.
Life is like magic.
Love is like magic.
Life is like magic.
Love is like magic.

Oh, i’m going down to the sea.
hey, the night is long without her.
the sun’s asleep in her eyes and i’m asleep on the sun.
what is life?
a dream in a song.
love is long.
love is long.
Oh, i’ve been a man for a year.
hey, don’t say you know how i feel.
i’m cold and miles from my home.
rain is a good friend of mine.
what is life?
a dream in a song.
love is long.
love is long.
Oh, she made a man in the snow.
hey, she said it looked just like me.
i feel like that man today.
hey, lord, please take my life away.
what is life?
a dream in a song.
love is long.
love is long.

Either Way
04:04
|

tomorrow, I will raise the sun…
so the sun shines down on you.
In the morning, I will lift the sun…
so the light shines down on you.
and if I lose the fight…
I promise I will dry the rain for you.
In the sleeping, I’ll watch over you…
so the ghosts don’t follow you.
in the dreaming, I’ll awaken you
so the ghosts don’t swallow you.
when you’re trapped inside…
I’ll get you through the night,
I will never leave your side.
so don’t you cry, either way it’s gonna be alright.
we’re all the same inside
so I know exactly who you are.
we’re all the same inside.
so I know exactly how you feel.
we’re all the same inside.
so I know exactly what to do…
I give you my love
if you think you’re gonna fall.
I give you my love
if you think you’re gonna fall.
tomorrow, I will raise the sun…
so the sun shines down on you.
In the morning, I will lift the sun…
so the light shines down on you.
and if I lose the fight… I promise I
will dry the rain for you.

For A Reason
04:10
|
|||
There are angels in quicksand and i cannot reach them.
Children with knowledge that no one should teach them.
And slain on the altar for no rhyme or reason,
Lies youth with its heart wide open and bleeding.
And life goes on. Life goes on.
Life goes on through the birth and the death and the madness.
Life goes on through the wicked brutality of sadness.
Through the miserable failed attempts to end it:
An atrocity that has God in tears and offended.
Life goes on…
For a reason. For a reason.
There are voices crying out but I cannot hear them.
To know they are out there, i don’t need to be near them.
Mothers with babies whose breathing is shallow.
I’ve been pierced through the wing, through my heart, by an arrow.
And life goes on. Life goes on.
Life goes on through the withering display of heartless.
Life goes on through the light and the strangling darkness.
Through the joy and the pain and the meetings in progress.
Through the days when we’re tangled in time and in nonsense.
Life goes on.
For a reason.
For a reason.
I smiled and I sighed and I said, “Do you know me?”
You laughed and you thought that you might as well love me.
I am yours for a reason.
You are mine for a reason.
For a reason.
For a reason.
