"Lucky Day"

"Lucky Day"

Do you see me out there
Getting ready to go
Packing my frustrations away
I can always go for miles and still don't know
Why my disappointments always stay,
Packing all my frustrations away...
Why my disappointments always stay...
Am I wasting my time
I don't know what I will find...
Took eighteen years to realize
I don't know the reasons why!
The day I walked away
That was my lucky day!

"Magnetic North"

"Magnetic North"

There's been borders and there'll be boundaries
and there's been times misidirection's found me
There's been clear heads and there'll be clean slates
and times we'd find we'd pass the night away thinking
Everyone here hates everyone here
for doing the same thing that they do
There's been new starts and they'll be no sleep
and there's been times when inspiration's found me
and there's been walls built and there's been worse days
and times we'd find we spent the night awake thinking
all those people they keep watching me
all those people that hate me
all those people they watch me
all those people are just like me

"Malachi Richter's Liquor's Quicker"

"Malachi Richter's Liquor's Quicker"

Well I'm happy to report,
My long standing last resort,
Ended by just stopping short,
Of me burning like a torch.
Step off, stand back.
Cause it's a fact I've got to match,
And all my fingers crossed behind my back.

Give me some breathing room.
Cause I'm breathing fumes I'll light the fuse.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause there's something that I need to prove.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause I'm breathing fumes I'll light the fuse,
And I'm gonna make the evening news.

Well I'm busy making plans,
With a flare gun in my hand.
Kerosene soaked through my pants,
The last words of my last stand.
Step up, step back.
Cause it's a fact I've gotta match,
And all my fingers crossed behind my back.

Give me some breathing room.
Cause I'm breathing fumes I'll light the fuse.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause there's something that I need to prove.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause I'm breathing fumes I'll light the fuse,
And I'm gonna make the evening news.

And I'm gonna make the evening news.

Give me some breathing room.
Cause I'm breathing fumes I'll light the fuse.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause there's something that I need to prove.
Give me some breathing room.
Cause I'm breathing fumes I'll light the fuse,
Give me some breathing room.
I'm on fire it's all ending soon,
And I'm gonna make the evening news.

Yea I'm gonna make the evening news. [x2]

"Malt Liquor Tastes Better When You've Got Problems"

"Malt Liquor Tastes Better When You've Got Problems"

And I've been so busy trying
that I've only wound up living
weekend to weekend
getting by just simply "trying"
And I should be out looking for a job
but only wind up heading for a stiff drink
left with nothing else so I think
"it's time to stumble home"
So I say Hello to wasted hours
and I say bottoms up to better days
I've been so busy dying
that I've always wound up living
paycheck to paycheck
scraping by but hardly trying
what will it take to get me out of bed
when half the check goes to rent
the other half goes to debt
I should be out looking for another job
Instead I stumble home
Another day not trying
there's no one left to blame
it's just the routine and the repetition
I've spun out of control

"Mississippi Mud"

"Mississippi Mud"

[Originally by The Muppets]

1-2-3
When the sun goes down and the tide rolls out
and the people gather 'round and they all begin to shout
"Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud
it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud
it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud"

What a dance do they do
glory how I'm tellin' you
they don't need no band
they keep time by clappin' their hands
just happy as a cow chewin' on a cud
it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud
it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud

"Mixology of Tom Collins"

"Mixology of Tom Collins"

A friend of mine he pointed out to me
that who I've become
is not the same person that I used to be
A friend of mine he pointed out to me
That I'm not the same as I used to be
And y'know he made me think twice about who I am
And now I think of how I lived my life
Sitting on the corner under the street light
What would I change?
What would I want to stay the same?
And I've decided that I won't decide
So I 'll sit on the curb watching the cars roll by
who the hell needs self doubt
When it's always the same shit that goes around town.

"Modern World"

"Modern World"

This is the modern world
this is the modern world

What kind of fool do you think I am (whoa)
to think I know nothin' 'bout the modern world (whoa)
all my life is spent on spite
I won't turn my head in ?
is my inspiration dry

I know more than you'll ever know
even in school I felt quite sure
that one day I'd be on top
and I'd look down upon the ?
the teachers' descent don't mean a thing

This is the modern world that I've learned about
this is the modern world
we don't need no one
to tell us what's right or wrong

Say what you like 'cause I don't care (whoa)
I know what I am and going to
is somewhere I won't see you
don't have to explain myself to you
I don't give two fucks about your view

This is the modern world that I've learned about
this is the modern world
we don't need no one
to tell us what's right or wrong
modern world, this is, this is, this is
this is, this is, this is
no we don't need no one
to tell us what's right or wrong, wrong

This is the modern world
this is the modern world

"Mostly Memories"

"Mostly Memories"

I can't seem to recognize, either side of this modern version or
fading person i was, i tried to memorize dates and times of old
accidents and the failed attempts now, i'm still afraid of those
mistakes i've made. i'm mostly memories, most missed
opportunities, mostly minor tragedies, i'm mostly you and me.
i'm mostly memories, mostly missed opportunities, mostly
abnormalities, i'm mostly you and me, and you and you and
me. i can't seem to recognize, either side of my conversations or
contemplations i've done, i've tried to memorize the truth and
lies, of the facts and fictions and the half truth admissions i've
done. i'm still afraid of those mistakes i've made. i'm mostly
memories, mostly missed opportunities, mostly minor tragedies,
i'm mostly you and me. i'm mostly memories, mostly missed
opportunities, mostly abnormalities, i'm mostly you and me,
and you and you and me. out of luck and had enough
out of trust and out of touch, out of time i'm hanging up
i'm mostly memories, mostly missed opportunities, mostly
minor tragedies, i'm mostly you and me. i'm mostly memories,
mostly missed opportunities, mostly abnormalities, i'm mostly
you and me, and you and you and me.

"Motown Never Sounded So Good"

"Motown Never Sounded So Good"

[Roger:]
So you say, all your white flags are up and that you've had enough and that you were tired of collecting dust, you say everything always looks the same and you made your brand new face to match your brand new place, you say all your distress calls have gone out and your ship is going down

[Pre-chorus]
[Chris:]
Well I say it to myself all the time,
"Stop living half and a life and stop feeling like I'm half alive."

[Chorus]
[Roger:]
I can't get enough, I'm not satisfied, I've wasted my time with this daily grind, in single file line, is this real life, I've been telling myself sometimes, what matters is on the inside.

[Roger:]
Do you remember when we had all the answers, and can you really remember when we wished for anything better, just to feel like it's been forever, does it feel like a broken record, a head full of yesterdays, you keep wishing your life away, you can't keep looking over you own shoulder, things'll never look up unless you start to move forward.

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

[Chorus 2]
[Roger:]
I can't get enough, I'm not satisfied, I've wasted my time with this daily grind, I can't get enough, I'm just getting by, I can't stand this design for our bitter lives, I keep feeling lost and I'm not satisfied with traffic and turnpikes and these tired eyes

[Chorus]

Can you build ?.
You know, its something

left to hold on to.

And I say, that is every day.
