"Shake That Tree"

"Shake That Tree"


Itchy fingers reaching for the sky
Our hands are talkin' I know it's no surprise
You go your way, I'll go my way
It's no surprise
You go your way, I'll go my way
Nothing's different, nothing's changed
One man's failure is just one man's fame
You go your way, I'll go my way
No nothing's changed
You go your way, I'll go my way
One small step another leap for mankind
Another case of blind men leading the blind
One man's poison is another man's cure
Should we call this progress, I'm not sure
Shake that tree
You know it's all comin' down to me
Shake that tree
'Cause it was always right there in front of me
You have the hammer, don't let it drop
You see it falling in your every thought
You go your way, I'll go my way
Your every thought
You go your way, I'll go my way
In the distance a child cries
You go your way, I'll go my way
But you will try
Shake that tree
You know it's all comin' down to me
Shake that tree
'Cause it was always right there in front of me
Shake that tree
You know it's all comin' down to me
Shake that tree
'Cause it was always right there in front of me

"Shape"

"Shape"


I'm startin' to feel
A bit like Frankenstein
'Cause I know how it feels to wake up
And be some other guy
Every little movement
I'm forced to modify
I know everyone does it
So I won't apologize
I'm not just the one you think you see
Today I'm gonna look one way
The one they should know
Can't you see the other side of me?
Tonight you're gonna see me change
And not just my clothes
[Chorus:]
Oh... the shape I'm in
Would you know at a glance
If it's me or him?
Every little action
Is somehow magnified
I know everyone does it
Is it any wonder why?
I'm not just the one you think you see
Today I'm gonna look one way
The one they should know
Can't you see the other side of me?
Tonight you're gonna see me change
And not just my clothes
[Chorus:]
Oh... the shape I'm in
Would you know at a glance
If it's me or him?
I wear this disguise like a second skin
Oh... the shape I'm in
Oh... the shape I'm in
[Repeat 1st Chorus]
[Repeat 2nd Chorus]

"Show And Tell"

"Show And Tell"


We're here right now, we're doing it again
Like we've been doin' it forever
Don't let me down, how can this end
If you keep tellin' me whatever?

How do I sound? Let's just pretend
We've had a spate of nasty weather
Here's the countdown, backwards from ten
It's time we finally came together

Here's to the day we all play
Show and tell
Here's to the day we all say
All is well

We're here right now, it's never too late
To make the final first impression
How do I sound? There's a light at the end
We're moving in the right direction

Here's to the day we all play
Show and tell
Here's to the day we all say
All is

Don't let me down, let's just pretend
We're eye to eye and there's no pressure
Here's the countdown, backwards from ten
Let's not resort the drastic measures

Somewhere someone draws the line
And winds up working overtime
If you go your way'n I go mine
We've only wasted precious time

Somewhere someone takes the time
To listen to the other side
(Take)
One step closer, close your eyes
And now you're crossing party lines

We're here right now, we've done it again
Like we've been doin' it forever
Don't let me down so backwards from ten
Maybe this time we'll come together

Somewhere someone draws the line
And winds up working overtime
If you go your way'n I go mine
We've only wasted precious time

Somewhere someone takes the time
Listen to the other side
(Take)
One step closer, close your eyes
And now you're crossing party lines

"Sideways"

"Sideways"


Information's fed
Liberties are taken
Words will be misread
And sometimes truth forsaken

I'll keep looking at it sideways
With a grain of salt
Black and white days
That way I'll know that I will grow

I'll keep looking at it sideways
As I climb inside the
Black and white cage
It's outrage, I know but I will grow

There behind closed doors
And bright white picket fences
Reason takes the floor
And stimulates the senses

I'll keep looking at it sideways
With a grain of salt
Black and white days
That way I'll know that I will grow

I'll keep looking at it sideways
As I climb inside the
Black and white cage
It's outrage, I know but I will grow

Information's fed
And liberties are taken

I'll keep looking at it sideways
With a grain of salt
Black and white days
That way I'll know that I will grow

I'll keep looking at it sideways
As I climb inside the
Black and white cage
It's outrage, I know but I will grow

"Six Feet Under"

"Six Feet Under"


Although you're far from home
And you've wandered quite a ways
If you remove alle shred of doubt
Only the truth remains

If I read between the lines
The expression on your face
Just remove all shred of doubt
Only truth remains

Six feet under, put your cash away
You never know when you might need it
Eight feet under, can you feel the weight?
It's just another rainy day

Ten feet under, what a prize toupee
But not while you're still breathin'
Twelve feet under, but it's never too late
You got the will now where's the way?

Help me help you
Start that spark that keeps the fire alive
Help me help you catch your breath

Help me help you
Remember just how much you love
The way you drive
Ans help me help you help yourself

I'm not wrong
Somethin' tells me it's not gone
Somethin' tells me I'm not wrong
It's not gone
Somethin' tells me I'm not wrong

So caught between the lines
Devoid of time and space
I knew the fire was never out
And I know it still rages

So if you stray too far from home
And wander quite a ways
Though the fire is all but out
One small spark and all that changes

Help me help you
Start that spark that keeps the fire alive
Help me help you catch your breath

Help me help you
Remember just how much you love
The way you drive
And help me help you help yourself

Six feet under, what a prize toupee
But now while you're still breathin'
Six feet under, but it's never too late
You got the will now where's the way?

I'm not wrong
Somethin' tells me I'm not wrong
It's not gone

"Slow Motion"

"Slow Motion"


Think, when was the last time
You, stumbled on rest time
Go, try to relax now
Or, did you forget how

[Chorus:]
Slow motion
Let everybody else run around
Slow motion
Maybe you have forgotten how
Slow motion
Let everybody else run around
Slow motion
Maybe you have forgotten how

You've been very busy
Now, you feel awfully dizzy
Why, is it so vital
You, insure your survival

[Chorus]

Stop, remember the way back
Now, now you can lay back
They'll get by without you
For, they're not about to

[Chorus]

"So Good So Far"

"So Good So Far"


We're on the bus, we're lost again
We shot the driver in the head
We found ourselves in old San Juan
The fire brigade had to cool them down

The key won't work, kicked down the door
Room numbers right, but it's not my floor
We're in Quebec on a bumpy road
Jake was airborne in the mobile home

[Chorus:]
Close your eyes and picture this
This is who we are
I sat down and made a list
So good, so far

We bought a saw at Mobile One
It's hard to check in with handcuffs on
In Caracas we came too soon
We found a mummy in our dressing room

One day we lost one hundred grand
It cost that much just to play Milan
I found my face in Bild Zeitung
It's not my car and I'm not that dumb

[Chorus]

They carved a hole straight through the wall
The only way to get in the hall
An open air, the crew backed up
Never sleep under a ten ton truck

[Chorus]

We stopped the bus and blocked his car
Does he still wonder where his keys are?
It's time to eat, here comes the crew
A fire extinguisher clears the room
We're on our way to the show
Do we need guns in our limo?

What goes up must come down
We needed more, so we stuck around

"Social Orphan"

"Social Orphan"


Somewhere, someone's standing by
The same game plan, the same aging fantasies.
Spruces up the small talk and the smile.
It's no wonder, he's under
The pressure of pride once again.
[Chorus:]
(He) calls himself a social orphan
Caught up in the game.
(He) sees himself a social orphan
Caught up in the thrill of the chase.
A number, a matchbook, the night before
(But) no last names, and no long term promises.
Finds it quite an effort not to smile.
It's no wonder,
He understands the need to try it again.
[Chorus]
Somewhere, someone hit square one.
The same contacts, the same tired old double talk.
Dreams about a weekend and a smile.
It's no wonder,
He's under the pressure of time once again.
[Chorus]

"Someone Should"

"Someone Should"


Young Albert was searching for something
A little bit out of the ordinary
Some kind of break in his dull routine
One day he took leave of his senses
Dropped everything, climbed over his fences
To find out himself if their grass was green
Someone should tell him to go back
He may have taken leave of his senses
Tell him to go back
He's liable to forget where he is
Little Audrey was certainly restless
Getting nearly everything but needing next to nothing
Nothing apart from a change of pace
It never entered her mind when it left her
That she might miss that pomp and splendour
Those things she'd seen but could never face
Someone should tell her to go back
She may have taken leave of her senses
Tell her to go back
She's likely to forget where she is
Tell them to go back
Because they may have taken leave of their senses
Tell them to go back
They're likely to forget where they are

"Sound Advice"

"Sound Advice"


The innocent introduction
The none too subtle seduction
The three-ring-halo production
No unforeseen interruptions
One day you said it´s perfection
Then made another selection
So thanks to your intervention
I modified my invention

All for one
None for all
Said and done
Make the call

But the ice was nice
That lead you to paradise
When the well ran dry
It lead us to a fork in the road
Yes the ice was nice
And lead you all the way to paradise
But the quicksand wasn't part of the plan
'Till I let go

Never took no for an answer
Refined your skills as a dancer
Perhaps a change of direction
Was only for your protection
Now that I've got your attention
I'm onto your good intentions
With all your giving and taking
I did more bending than breaking

All for one
None for all
Said and done
Make the call

But the ice was nice
That lead you to paradise
When the well ran dry
It lead us to a fork in the road
Yes the ice was nice
And lead you all the way to paradise
When the quicksand became a part of the plan
Well I let go

Now that I've got your attention
I'm onto your good intentions
With all your giving and taking
I did more bending than breaking

But the ice was nice
That lead you to paradise
When the well ran dry
It lead us to a fork in the road
Yes the ice was nice
And lead you all the way to paradise
When the quicksand became a part of the plan
Well I let go
