"Room To Breathe"

"Room To Breathe"

All you want is the shadow behind me
Don't you know that it's nowhere to stand
What if I didn't call you tomorrow
Maybe you'd fall apart after that
You keep it so tight l can't stand it
There's no room for love when it's ended
So give me Room to Breathe
The choice to stay or leave
I don't know what you need
So give me Room to Breathe
If you keep in your mind there's no future
It makes 'now' so much lighter to bear
If you deal with it ever so loosely
You just might shake it, it might clear the air
You keep it so tight I can't stand it
There's no room for love when it's ended

"Running From Paradise"

"Running From Paradise"

I caught you staring at the ceiling
Captured by the mirror up there
OK OK I see the separation
Makin love down here
While you're watching in the air

If you're looking for love
and you don't find it in my eyes
then you're Running from Paradise.
Look before you leap, darling
don't you know that you're
Running from Paradise

I gave you every pose you asked for
Played every game you fantasize
I called your bluff, we're running out of breath
You're hooked on looking - not on what you find

"Sara Smile"

"Sara Smile"

Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight

When I feel cold, you warm me
And when I feel I can't go on, you come and hold me
It's you and me forever

Sara, smile
Oh, won't you smile awhile for me, Sara?

If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
And if you want to be free
You know all you got to do is say so

When you feel cold, I'll warm you
And when you feel you can't go on, I'll come and hold you
It's you and me forever

Sara, smile
Oh, won't you smile awhile for me, Sara?
Sara, smile
Oh, won't you smile awhile, Sara?

Smile
Oh, won't you smile awhile for me, Sara?
Oh, smile awhile
Won't you laugh, Sara?
Thank you for making me feel like a man
Keeping me crazy, crazy
Smile awhile

"Say It Isn't So"

"Say It Isn't So"

(Say it)
(Say it isn't so)
(Say it)
(Say it isn't so)

Say it isn't so painful
To tell me that you're dissatisfied
Last time I asked you
I really got a lame excuse
I know that you lied
Now wicked things can happen
You see 'em goin' down in war
But when you play in a quiet way
That bites it even more
(Say it)
Tell me what you want, yeah
I'll do it, baby
I promise right now
(Say it)
Who propped you up
When you were stopped low motivation
had you on the ground
I know your first reaction
You slide away
Hide away, goodbye
But if there's a doubt
Maybe I can give out
A thousand reasons why
You have to say it isn't so
(It isn't so)
I say it isn't so (it isn't so)
Oh, no
I say it isn't so (it isn't so)
Oh, say it isn't so (it isn't so)
Oh-oh, no
(Say it)
We like to be the strangers
At the party
Two rebels in a shell (say it)
You like to move
With the best of them
You know we move so well
Don't need someone to lean on
I know where there's an open door
But if I'm faced
With being replaced
I want you even more
So baby, say it isn't so (it isn't so)
Oh-oh, say it isn't so (it isn't so)
oh-oh, no
Say it isn't so (it isn't so)
Whoooa, say it isn't so (it isn't so)
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
(Say it)
(Say it isn't so)
(Say it)
(Say it isn't so)
(Say it)
(Say it isn't so)

Why you gonna go
Do you half ta say
You wanna go
Ooh-ooh baby, say it isn't
(Say it isn't)
Say, say, say it isn't
(Say it isn't) so (so, say it isn't)
Why do you have to say it isn't
(Say it isn't) so
(Say it isn't) so (say, say it isn't)
I know it's so hard for you (say it isn't)
So hard (say it isn't)
Don't say, baby (so, say it isn't)
There must be some other way
Don't have to (say it isn't)
Some other way (So say it isn't)
Aah, you don't have to say (say it isn't)

"Screaming Thru December"

"Screaming Thru December"

What a crew we made up there was Faustus
Burnt out from playing too many bars, on a Jersey shore
And Sammy, almost bald from ironing her hair too much
Back in '64
And me and Phazon out of phase, of least my temporary
Name for the day
Oh, blown away and screaming
All blown away and screaming
All blown away and Screaming Thru December
We crossed state lines we were burning
Although the cold could freeze your hand, to the steel
Of the wheel
Miami, just a cold hearted word
From a warm smiling man on a sign in a field
We laughed just o take up some time my (hmmm) job
Was staring to dry, and we went Screaming Thru December
"Quasar, Quasar", where the first words I heard from Faustas
All day
And giggling he apologized and then returned to flicking
His blade
I sighed bleary-eyed, and tried to remember the way, as we
Went Screaming
A year does go by what a difference, twelve months can make when you're living a
hundred years in one
And Sammy, she went home and now she's living in a room with
A gun
Faustas ate glass for an appetizer, and bled all over his synthesizer
As he went Screaming
As he went Screaming
As he went Screaming Thru December

"Serious Music"

"Serious Music"

To play to get rich
And die baroque is wrong
If you write a song for god
Will he sing along
While rows of robot symphonies read on
Is that the way you wanted it played
Manuscripted memories
Sound with no electricity
Concentration line on the face of serious music
Manuscripted memories
Sound but no electricity
Concentration lines on the face of serious music
You brought a bit of jazz to the concert hall
But you won't hear violins at the darkies' ball
Your rhapsody in blue will outlive us all
I wish I was there the night you played it
Manuscripted memories
Sound with no electricity
Concentration line on the face of serious music
Manuscripted memories
Sound but no electricity
Concentration lines on the face of serious music

"She's Gone"

"She's Gone"

Everybody's high on consolation
Everybody's trying to tell me
What is right for me, yeah
I need a drink and a quick decision
Now it's up to me, ooooh what will be

[Chorus:]
She's gone, she's gone
Oh, why
Oh, why
I better learn how to face it
She's gone, she's gone
Oh, why
Oh, why
I'd pay the devil to replace her
She's gone, she's gone
Oh, why
What went wrong

Get up in the morning, look in the mirror
One less tooth brush hanging in the stand
My face ain't looking any younger
Now what I can see
Love's taken a toll on me

[Chorus]

Think I'll spend eternity in the city
Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away
And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories
There can never be what she once was to me

[Chorus]

"So Close"

"So Close"

They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym
He fell like a rock
She kinda liked him
And his heart beat like thunder as they moved cross the floor
But when the music was over she slipped out the door
Yeah a man loves a woman but he can't understand
Why she's sad when she stares at the ring on her hand
Then she sits in some club where the long shadows fall
Drops a coin in the jukebox not the phone on the wall

[Chorus:]
So close
Yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow and a better day
We lie down to sleep so close
Yet so far away

There's a restless look in you eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart
And the dream that pulls us together girl
Is a dream that keeps us
So close
Yet so far away

Some people think if you really believe
That's all you need to solve all the mysteries
Well I know someone who just heads for the sun
She says "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young"

[Chorus]

There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart
And the dream that pulls us together girl is a dream
That's gonna tear us apart

"Soldering"

"Soldering"

Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
Soldering it's what the young girl needs
Soldering

She says she don't want the young buy,
The young boy drink too much white rum
She says she don't want the soul man,
'Cause soul man fall asleep in bed
She says she don't want the dread lock
'Cause dread lock smoke too much Haile

Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering

When you check it out the young boy is undecided
And the dread lock is getting natty groove
While the old man he's watching them move
And the soul boy he start to prove

Soldering it's what the young girl wants
Soldering
Soldering it's what the young girl needs
Soldering

Oh young girl want soldering

"Some Men"

"Some Men"

Some Men call half way around the world if they've got a phone game to play
Then again some men call their mom every day
Old boys drink bad beer and throw the cans out in the street
Playboys sit and sip red wine, some drink malt whiskey neat

So if you can, you talk about Some Men
If you can, you can talk about Some Men
Baby if you can, you can talk about Some Men
If you can, you can talk about Some Men

Colonels collect animal heads and hang their guns up on the wall
Corn balls watch television then pull a gun out in the hall
Crew-cut rainbows hang on streets hoping they'll find a friend
Odd balls running fast enough hope that they won't find their end

So if you can, you can talk about Some Men
Baby if you can, you can talk about Some Men

Sleep all night work all day
Work all night sleep all day
Drink all night sick all day
Sick all night drink all day
Dream all night if you can
We ain't soldiers so don't Generalize
No categories because it takes all kinds
You can sleep all night you can work all day
You can trip all night peak all day
If you can, you can talk about Some Men
