"100 Years"
"100 Years"
The sun is warm as the day is long
I just got the feeling I can do no wrong
I've got a long way to walk
Can't afford my next meal
I tell a few lies but my hunger is real
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Mademoiselle tell me do you play
Well, if she shakes her head, well then that's okay
I watch her walk away in haste
There's just no accounting for some people's taste
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Big angry man in the doorway there
Just keep on walking like I don't care
Why you giving such and evil eye
Could it be you were ignored by every passerby
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Play in the park for tobacco and food
Then I excuse myself but they think I'm rude
Tourist don't want me to end his show
But this colorful attraction got places to go
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Sit at the pier watch the sun go down
Another lost little boy in a big old town
I want to laugh I want to cry
But no matter how hard I try
It won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years [2x]

"12 Swords"
"12 Swords"
Here I stand and alas
Of a warrior's class
Apprentice turned sorcerer I
I've seen many wars end
Made the battle my friend
None am I afraid to defy
I've done as I please
Yet I fall to my knees
Weak and bleeding sure that I'm through
And as I lay there to die
I can see the night sky
And suddenly I'm thinking of you
Does the crescent moon rise
By the light of your eyes
Can you see the star that I'm wishing on
And is it shining as bright
From where you see it tonight
And does the love that you feel make you strong
On my twelve swords I'm yours
Till you need me no more
And I'll wish away till morning
Like a harvested husk
Another city sacked at dusk
The rampaging conquest goes well
But I cannot erase
The memory of our embrace
Without you I'd have died where I fell
And I must ask again
Is the battle my friend
What will my life and sorcery be
I only know this is true
That indeed I love you
And I ask by the first star I see
Does the crescent moon rise
By the light of your eyes
Can you see the star that I'm wishing on
And is it shining as bright
From where you see it tonight
And does the love that you feel make you strong
Does the crescent moon rise
By the light of your eyes
Can you see the star that I'm wishing on
And is it shining as bright
From where you see it tonight
And does the love that you feel make you strong
On my twelve swords I'm yours
Till you need me no more
And I'll wish away till morning
And I'll wish away till morning

"After What"
"After What"
And if I take a different tack
Well then forgive me if the long way round
Confuses up the point until you're numb enough to hear
That you're using the anointing oil like it's sacramental beer
And don't blame heaven or hell
You have to look to yourself
And nobody else will lift a light to make you see
Don't got to learn a damn thing
Part of being free
And I realize
When I buck my place
It's my feet but it's their race
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't leave unless you offer me a stay
And I won't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
So forgive me or forget you
If you think you cannot bear
Believe me life won't let you
If you blink you shall not fare
But should you get the chance
Try to make for the fence
It's a subtle dance we do
To stay in from the cold
And the cleverest ones
Get to be real old
I may struggle
I may complain
But I'm just trying to grab at the reins
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want

"All Hands"
"All Hands"
Every time the water breaks and soaks me to the bone
I remember what I left behind by sailing off alone
Pitch and yaw through hurricane, my position is unknown
And the bell rings seven times
Salted brine, I drink it down and breathe it through my nose
No sign of land but I hang on and do my best to close
But the swirling tidal undertow keeps pulling me below
And the bell rings seven times
All hands left on deck
An icy rest is waiting at the bottom of the sea
She's tried her best to take me as I struggle to get free
But while I have a breath to breathe, she isn't taking me
And the bell rings seven times
All hands left on deck
No hope of rescue
No hope of dry ground
The siren calls all souls on board
To follow her down
Swirling silently beneath the noise and light up there
Push past the frozen arms and legs, ignore the lifeless stare
I grab a line that pulls me up for a precious gasp of air
And the bell rings seven times
All hands left on deck

"All In The Groove"
"All In The Groove"
Sometimes when you worry
The tendency to hurry
Can make your vision blurry
And blind you
You might shake and you might stammer
Or dance like MC Hammer
But could that pomp and glamour
Remind you
Of who you are and where you're going
And whose mind that you're blowing
And if your car needs towing
Don't move
Then calmly call the AAA you've got nothing to prove
As in all things, it's all in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
Well, if it's your destiny don't fight it
War between the states, unite it
It might be difficult but might it
Be worthwhile?
I ain't no Solomon from Babel
Abut my cards are on the table
And I swear that if I'm able
I'll run that mile
So if I'm rambling ignore me
If on the money then adore me
You know the pearls are cast before me
Oh, what to do?
Wish I could put it in a picture and hang it in the Louvre
But like I said before it's all in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
For instance
The jam it swings and sways
As the groove funkily plays
And they say crime never pays
But this ain't no crime
It's just a life blood flowing water
That any son or daughter
Would send away for order
A celebration of time
So jam on, jam out, jam it in
Till it feels like it's a sin
And that's only when you begin
To improve
Don't mind if it's the rhythm, that's just only when you've
Got to let it all be all in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove

"All Things Are Possible"
"All Things Are Possible"
Sunrise
And everything tries again
To muster up
The courage
All in
Once again
A simple fact
All I have to nourish
That
All things are possible
(Imaginations never end)
All worlds collide
(You don't know where and you can't say when)
All roads are crossable
(An itch to which you must attend)
Leave all your fear on the other side
And if you feel like you could use a friend
Then here's what I'd recommend
Dare we
To dream
Let alone live it
It can feel like quicksand
Take every ounce of strength you give it
But the only thing worse would be
To leave it just lying there
The simple fact leaves me
Only all too aware
That
All things are possible
(Imaginations never end)
All worlds collide
(You don't know where and you can't say when)
All roads are crossable
(An itch to which you must attend)
Leave all your fear on the other side
And if you feel like you could use a friend
Then here's what I'd precisely recommend
You have only your hand to extend
Reach out to me
Reach out to me
Reach out to me
Like the summer reaches out for the rain
I will not let go until you tell me so
And squeeze as tightly as you want through the pain
All things are possible
(Imaginations never end)
All worlds collide
(You don't know where and you can't say when)
All roads are crossable
(An itch to which you must attend)
Leave all your fear on the other side
And if you feel like you could use a friend
All things are possible

All worlds collide
(You don't know where and you can't say when)
All roads are crossable
(An itch to which you must attend)
Leave all your fear on the other side
And if you feel like you could use a friend
Then here is what I would precisely recommend
Reach out your hand out to me my friends
Hey, you have only your hand to extend
Yeah, yeah, yeah

"Alone"
"Alone"
I said "I love you"
She began to cry
She said she needed a friend
I said "I'll try"
Soon we'd say nothing
Somehow I never wondered why
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'd loved her always
She didn't know
I tried patience
Let a friendship grow
I tried to keep her
That's what made her go
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Beauty and the beast
Was how it seemed to be
A love like hers
Ain't meant for guys like me
Some call me crazy
Some politely call me free
But either way you see
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work
Think I'm losing my mind, think I'm going berserk
I love you with a passion that you just don't know
And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so
I could rant, or rave, or play some little game
But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same
That you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact
Now I don't care how I look and don't care how I act
Cuz you set me free
I'm a man among men
But when I think of what I missed it starts all again
Now alone in the darkness of each new day
My heart is on its own
I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away
Watch this bassman take me home
I guess some day
Love will soon be here
And maybe then
I'll see things more clear
I guess I got excited
Cause it felt so near
And
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
But I know I'd give my life
Just to hold her now
And who knows
I might see her around
Hopes can always go up
Tears can only come down
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone

"Amber Awaits"
"Amber Awaits"
Well I guess it bothers me
Because I can't convince her of a thing
I can't talk my way
I can't even sing
And it builds into this quest
Until I come to rest at last
And admit I couldn't tell
I could only ask
And then I'm freshly daunted
By the prospects of her eyes
As she lets me down
With a gentle lie
Bad luck to force an angel's smile
They say it only hurts a while
But I've been falling
For a thousand miles
Amber danced upon a flame
Nothing could be made the same
Not so much broken as changed
Amber far above the moon
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon
I want to see
If Amber waits for me
Well I hope I can appreciate how lucky I could be
If she only would
Take a look at me
Cause I think I could deserve someone Who could be so kind
It's new to me
But I don't mind
Amber danced upon a flame
Nothing could be made the same
Not so much broken as changed
Amber far above the moon
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon
Amber danced upon a flame
Nothing could be made the same
Not so much broken as changed
Amber far above the moon
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon
Amber sails to Timbuktu
There's nothing more that I could do
But not so much hopeless as blue
Amber makes me feel alive
And something in me does revive
But it only works if she believes my eyes
I want to see
If Amber waits for me

"Back In The Day"
"Back In The Day"
It's been a while since I've left home
But I'm coming on back today
Kinda funny but I picture it only exactly as it
was back in the day
Sure enough when the train pulls in
There's so little that I recognize
Is it the scenery or my selective memory
Or just a simple fact that I gotta realize
My friends have gone and their lives have
moved on and I guess that's just the way it is
If this town has grown beyond my home
I guess it all comes down to this
I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
But it's back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true
There was a time when it was easy to find a
hangout that you knew was yours by name
And mine or not I could find the same spot but
it's never gonna be the same
I've been away and I've seen too much
Looks like I've been moving on as well
And when I started to not really belong
I suppose I was unable to tell
But I ain't sad and no it isn't bad
It's just one more thing I'm coming to know
If you're alive you didn't finish the ride
No telling where it's going to go
I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
But it's back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true
It's been a while since I left home
But I'm coming on back today
Kinda funny but I picture it only exactly as it
was back in the day
I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
But it's back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true
"Back In The Day"
It's been a while since I've left home
But I'm coming on back today
Kinda funny but I picture it only exactly as it
was back in the day
Sure enough when the train pulls in
There's so little that I recognize
Is it the scenery or my selective memory
Or just a simple fact that I gotta realize
My friends have gone and their lives have
moved on and I guess that's just the way it is
If this town has grown beyond my home
I guess it all comes down to this
I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
But it's back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true
There was a time when it was easy to find a
hangout that you knew was yours by name
And mine or not I could find the same spot but
it's never gonna be the same
I've been away and I've seen too much
Looks like I've been moving on as well
And when I started to not really belong
I suppose I was unable to tell
But I ain't sad and no it isn't bad
It's just one more thing I'm coming to know
If you're alive you didn't finish the ride
No telling where it's going to go
I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
But it's back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true
It's been a while since I left home
But I'm coming on back today
Kinda funny but I picture it only exactly as it
was back in the day
I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day
But those times have long been through
The dying of the light is gone
But it's back in the day
Like a wish that comes half true
