"Circles"

"Circles"


You saw me lost and treading water,
I looked pathetic,
I looked as helpless as a stinger without a bee.
But underneath my presentation, (yeah.)
I knew the walls were coming down
and the stones that fell were aiming away from me.

Hey! What would it mean to you
to know that it'll come back around again?
Hey! Whatever it means to you,
know that everything moves in circles.

I saw you standing in my headlights. (Blink, blink, blink.)
I thought I'd run you down for the weight you left on me.
Instead I pushed rewind, reversed and drove away.
And seeing you disappear in my rearview brought to me the word 'Reciprocity!'

Hey! What would it mean to you
to know that it'll come back around again?
Hey! Whatever it means to you,
know that everything moves in circles.

Round and round we go...
who could've known it'd end so well?
We fall on and we fall off...
existential carousel.

"Clean"

"Clean"


Today, everything was fine fine fine
Until roundabout quarter to 9, suddenly I found myself in a bind, a bind
Was it something I said
Something I read
And manifest that's getting you down
Don't you dare come to bed with that ambiguous look in your eye
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried
Say what u will
Say what u mean
No, you could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean, clean
Tomorrow, what price will I pay
Could I make it all up to you by serving coffee for two in bed, would you then give me the time of day
I need a map of your head, translated into english so I can learn to not make you frown
Feel better if you vent, put your frustrations into four letter words and let them out on mine
The most weathered ears in town!
Say what u will
Say what u mean
No, you could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean
Clean [x6]
Say what u will
Say what u mean
No, you could never offend
Your dirt words come out clean
Say what u will
Say what u mean
No, you could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean, clean

"Consequence"

"Consequence"


You blink and you miss a beat, keep one of your eyes open at all times
You think that your on the brink, the shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan
The consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes
The situation has a stink better clear the air before your son becomes a man
We all want something we know can not have...have
You think everything's been augmented that you have been left so far behind
I think for sure next time you should wear a pair of eyes in the back of your head
The consequence you've seen has been stranger than Sci-Fi of any kind
The situation baffles me, I guess its true you too are one of the walking dead
Better think fast, think fast, cuz you never know what's coming round the bend
You better not blink, don't blink, the consequence is a bigger word than you think
Its bigger than you or me, You or me, You or me
You or me
Better think fast, think fast, cuz you never know what's coming round the bend
You better not blink, don't blink, the consequence is a bigger word than you think
Its bigger than you or me, You or me, You or me

"Crowded Elevator"

"Crowded Elevator"


Fifteen minutes to six and fourteen floors to go,
thirteen suited strangers makes a crowded elevator slow,
And I've got a million word and phrases on the tip of my tongue,
For the only non-stranger next to me, as you should know, know, know.
So let 'em stare.
If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them.
Twelve more floors your eyes and mine are all I need to come clean,
Or should I wait for the lobby, spare the lives
Of some 26 nervous eyes being occupied by little red numbers passing by.
If I wait one minute longer, I think I will die,
die, die.
So let em' stare.
If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them.
If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them,
Front of them.
You help me to feel, see, and know,
Why all the while I've been so inquisitive.
I can't go back cuz now I know how it feels to open up and breathe.
I can't go back cuz now I,
I can't go back cuz now I,
I can't go back cuz now I,
I can't go back cuz now I know.
If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them.
If I could think I would give in,
And let you in on how I feel,
Need to spill.
Let all of it out right now,
And expose every inch in front of them,
Yeah,
In front of them,
In front of them,
In front of them.

"Damnation?"

"Damnation?"


Follow me down
Swallow it down
A little bit of something instigating your frown
The moon on the town, the blood on your gown
You're always picturesque
Stomp the haunted mood in your crown
I used to think about it then I...
Chose the word indulgence, now I...
Just need some more to stand my own
Why I live this way?
Who knows?
Why I live this way?
He knows
Is this damnation?
Or a beginning?
I'll take "B"
Is this damnation?
Or a beginning?
I'll take "B"
Oh oh oh oh oh
So once again the thought into my
And visualize the blood as the life
Is to bend the wheel of my own kind
I wish you'd see the hope in my eye
All in all sublime on this side
Then again you'd have to leave this life...
...behind
Why I live this way
Who knows?
Why I live this way
He knows
Is this damnation?
Or a beginning?
I'll take "B"
Is this damnation?
Or a beginning?
I'll take "B"

"Dance Like You're Dumb"

"Dance Like You're Dumb"


Ohhhh
Nobody gets whatcha got without gettin all hot
With the boss' daughter
Taking her out on the town, dizzy up, spin her round
Makin out with her dress turned upside down
Have a drink! Whatcha think? She's all heels and kink
Betcha thought you'd landed
Then like a pink Boba Fett, she calls you on your bet
And your hat is the least of... what you're handed

Dance!
Because
You're young
And you don’t need a reason
Dance!
Just like
You got
Your legs from a cartoon
Dance!
Just like
You're dumb
Like you don't need the money
Dance!
Under
The moon
Cause you never know, never know

You were kissed with a fist, now you're tied at the wrist
To the boss-man's daughter
You thought singing her praises would get you a raise
Now you're just like a horse being led to the water
Is fine, come on in! Takin one on the chin
Is a price worth payin
For a glimpse, just a look. Let's have one off the books!
She's a pink Boba Fett
And that's all I'm sayin

Dance!
Because
You're young
And you don't need a reason
Dance!
Just like
You got
Your legs from a cartoon
Dance!
Just like
You're dumb
Like you don't need the money
Dance!
Under
The moon
Cause you never never never know

(Never know, never know)
(Never know, never know)

Like you don't need a reason
Yeah, you don't need the money
Yeah, you don't need a reason
Yeah, you don't need the money
Like you don't need a reason
Like you don't need the money
Like you don't need a reason
Like you don't need a money

Just when you thought you were done, catch ya breath
Too much fun, now the red lights flashin
She kept a rainbow of pills, she was up on her thrills
Both her brains and her body liked
A good bashin
Of course, they're not mine! Officer, I'm not tryin to put it all on her
Put it on who? City boy, take a look, it's just you
Now I'm just like a lamb headed to the slaughter

Dance!
Because
You're young
And you don't need a reason
Dance!
Just like
You got
Your legs from a cartoon
Dance!
Just like
You're dumb
Like you don't need the money
Dance!
Under
The moon
Cause you never never never know
Yeah, you never never never know
Dance!

"Deep Inside"

"Deep Inside"


It's 3 o'clock,
and we ask ourselves,
"Where are we now?"
It seems we've wondered out of bounds again!
(Over and over, we ask ourselves why we don't utilize
things that are stored
deep inside of our brains!)
I'm on my own and I can't see straight!
Am I so stoned that I can't see straight?
Man, I've got to find my way back home,
but I'm too deep inside
It's 4 o'clock,
and we ask ourselves,
"Where did we go wrong?
We passed my house at least an hour ago!"
Over and over, we ask ourselves why
don't we utilize things
that are stored deep inside of our brains!
I'm on my own and I can't see straight?
Am I sooo stoned that I can't see straight?
It's 5 o'clock,
and we tell ourselves,
"We need to get home! The sun is creeping overhead again!"
I'm way too deep inside to go home...
I've got to get sane!

"Defiance"

"Defiance"


Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh

You almost had me there
It was the batting lashes that gave you away
You're bold beyond repair
And there's an absence today
Of defiance
Our most awakened inclination
And your elegant aberration

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Something's happening
When all the rebels and devils have come to not
But hear your sirening
And who would un-ring, oh, your bell?

Defiance, our most awakened inclination
Defiance, your elegant aberration

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh

"Diamonds And Coal"

"Diamonds And Coal"


If it's good to complicate then both of us are doing fine.
Just keep your eyes on your part and leave me alone to mine.
If it's good to instigate, we're a fast horse, bet on us.
I'm not calling you an animal;I think we just fight too much.
Hey now, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give us time to shine,
Even diamonds start as coal.
We're both aligned in frame of mind
But circumstance got us good.
And now you're seeing a side of me
I wish no one ever would.
Yeah, if it's right to pick a fight, we're
Fingers in a sugar bowl.
Love isn't perfect, even diamonds start as coal.
Come on, in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give us time to shine,
Even diamonds start as coal.
Even diamonds start as coal.
We're incomplete and infantine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give it time girl, the fire feels divine
The sweetest things, they burn before they shine.
We think way too much,
Look at us losing touch!
A promise is a promise until...
Yeah in spite of this we're doing just fine
Even diamonds start as coal.
Give us time to shine,
Even diamonds start as coal.
Even diamonds start as coal.
We're incomplete and infantine
Even diamonds start as coal.

"Dig"

"Dig"


We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness;
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh each other....
When everything
Else is gone.
