"Time Bomb"

"Time Bomb"


Where were you today?
I'm not sure if I should tell you
What have you got to say?
I'm sorry
You said you want to stay
I know, I know, I know, I've tried
So why did you run away?
Can't ya see I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Won't somebody come and light my fuse
What will it be tonight?
I won't know until I get there
What do you hope to find?
Some answers
But tears may fill your eyes
I know, I know, but I'll be fine
So why do you need to fly?
I just know I've got to try
You've always had more than you need
So why are you a stranger to me?
Can't ya see I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Gettin' ready to explode
Don't you know I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm just tick'n like a time bomb
Won't somebody come and light my fuse
Where were you today?
I'm not sure if I should tell you
What have you got to say
I'm not sorry
You said you want to play
I know, I know, I know, I lied
So why'd you run away?
Show me
Show me I'll show you mine
I'm not blind
All revealed in good time
Tell me
Who made silence a crime?
Don't be shy
It's not all in my mind
Can't ya see I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Somebody light my fuse
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I've got nothin' to lose
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Won't somebody come and light my fuse
I'm tick'n like a time bomb
Don't ya know I'm tick'n like a time bomb
I'm tick'n like a time bomb

"Time To Go"

"Time To Go"


He fancied himself a professional dreamer
Never much good at pretending to be something else
Often times he would sit there expressionless
Staring at nothing and everything at the same time

[Chorus:]
Sometimes he hear voices...
It's that space in his head you say
Sometimes he hear voices...
Then they just seem to fade away

Gone it an instant, without notice
One minute with us, next minute miles away
This time Vienna, next time Calais
The further the better with little or no delay

[Chorus]

One day he took it a little too far
Woke up... standing... right where you are!
Surrounded by strangers and stranger surroundings
Staring at nothing and everything at the same time

Sometimes he hear voices...
It's that space in his head you say
Sometimes he hear voices...
But they just seem to fade away
It's time to go...

"Time To Play"

"Time To Play"


I could send you back to school
you've got the time to learn the rules
to make it work you need the tools
It's time to go back to school
You think that your computer's real
I just never liked the feel
what about the sounds you steal?
You don't know how to keep it real

Now or never
Do you think it's time to play?
All together
there is no other way
there is nothing more to say
Now or never
I think it's time to play

What about a melody?
I can see you don't agree
You can find the remedy
but you just don't think like me
Are you gonna run away?
Don't you play the time to play?
Your days are numbered, you should pray
I can't hear a thing you say

Now or never
Do you think it's time top play?
All together
there is no other way
There is nothing more to say
Now or never
there is no other way
There is nothing more to say
Now or never
I think it's time to play

"Time's Up"

"Time's Up"


I spend half of each day just eyeing the clock
And dream of all the things I'd like to do
But nothing ever changes from day to day
I've just been guarding this desk for you
It's a mayday, it's a mayday
There must be something else I could do
It's a mayday, it's a mayday
Instead of guarding this desk for you

Time's up
You've been wishing your life away
Time's up
You've been wishing your life away

I'm getting very tired of waiting for the weekend
Then there's nothing when it comes around
I need a little more excitement, give me some adventure
I don't know how you've held me this long
It's a mayday, it's a mayday
Time just marches on
It's a mayday, it's a mayday
I don't know how you've held me this long

Time's up
You've been wishing your life away
Time's up
You've been wishing your life away

Chances are chances and I know I've had a few
But at the time it just seemed wrong
Now I'm sitting here wondering, waiting
Watching out his window
And I'm sure my day will come
It's a mayday, it's a mayday
Time just marches on
It's a mayday, it's a mayday
But I'm sure my day will come

Time's up
You've been wishing your life away
Time's up
You've been wishing your life away

Time's up
You've been wishing your life away
Time's up
You've been wishing your life away

"Tired World (Chapter Six)"

"Tired World (Chapter Six)"


A vision of buildings sitting empty
There's not a person to be found
All the cars sit silently waiting
All the leaves have fallen to the ground

Waves crash with no interruption
There's not a ship that you can see
No rock is thrown to change its motion
Rhythms moving, all naturally

A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world
A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world

A phone is ringing in the distance
A pulse with no end, no enemy
This cry has no one left it can bother
The person may have left suddenly

A lot of wasted words were spoken
Many vain attempts were made
No one realized that in the long run
It was ourselves we could have saved

A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world
A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world

"Too Deep"

"Too Deep"


Zero Hour-I've gotta get a move on
But where I'm going I don't know
Ice & fire-The light is all around me
Situations touch and go
Feel that heat-I wanna seize the moment
Now before the moment's gone
To the wire-We'll talk about it later
'Till then the search goes on

Too deep for the tears
You left me waiting here
Just frozen in fear
Those cold uncertain times
Too deep for the tears
The passage of those years
Has dried up the sea
Of hope that's held me near

Cloud of stars-The freshness of a vision
Fast forward & fade to black
Aftermath-I'm running by the hour & there's no turning back
Heart & soul-The price is getting' higher & the coast is clear but steep

Sunken sun-Creates a world of shadows
But I'm in too deep

[Repeat Chorus]

Seeds of change-I know the day is comin'
But the hour is getting late
Keep the faith-although it's getting harder
I know I just can't wait

[Repeat Chorus]

"Too Much To Lose (Chapter Seven)"

"Too Much To Lose (Chapter Seven)"


He woke up in a sweat
With a fading dream
But one picture still stood clear
And he wasn't sure if he could see it any other way
They're like a tiny dot
On an endless page
Just waiting to be erased
And it was clear to him they were treating it like a game

[Chorus:]
You've got too much to lose
You've got too much to lose

He looked out on the field
They were hard at work
Like locusts in flight
And it almost looked as though they liked what they had to do
The sound of metal being shaped
To enable its flight
Not that far away
And as the numbers grew, their swarm blackened his view

[Chorus]

"Trust"

"Trust"


Trust
You find it hard not to give it out
Trust
You find it harder
tryin' to live it out day after day
Trust
You spend your life tryin' to get it
Trust
But when you do you can bet
there's a price that you'll pay
Trust
What we need is a lot more
Trust
Even if it means a little more for sale
Trust
You know you can't do without a little
Trust
You're smack dab
in the middle of a paper trail

Standing alone in the dark
still searching for some kind of spark

[Chorus:]
Trust yourself and in good time
Trust becomes your state of mind
When trust is offered, it's seldom free
If there's no-one out there
You can trust in me, put your trust in me
'cos when trust is offered, it's seldom free
If there's no-one out there, put your trust in me

Trust
We can all use a bit more
Trust
But only if it fits form, time and a place
Trust
Give it out take it back and
Trust
Pretty soon you'll have a knack for leaving no trace
Trust
Just as long as there's a limit
Trust
You keep eye your on the minimum and what's at stake
Trust
If you're lookin' for someone's
Trust
You know there's gotta be a little more give and take

[Chorus]

Trust
If you're lookin' for someone's
Trust
You know there's gotta be a little more give and take

"Uncle Albert's Eyes (Chapter 13)"

"Uncle Albert's Eyes (Chapter 13)"


See the man sitting in the corner feeling humble
Can't you see the tears in Uncle Albert's eyes
Says the words again and again
Says he's coming but he doesn't know when
So get ready for a big surprise
Says the word and everybody starts to crumble
Don't you know he's got the gift of second sight
We all have heard the calling
You know I know you now
It's all in Uncle Albert's eyes
It's all in Uncle Albert's eyes
In Uncle Albert's eyes
All alone thinking about the resurrection
Don't you think it's time that everybody knew
We read the news but we all forgot
Now the Garden of Eden was a parking lot
I think it's time for a new direction
It's all in Uncle Albert's eyes
It's all in Uncle Albert's eyes
In Uncle Albert's eyes
See the man sitting in the corner feeling humble
He may fool you now but he could never lie
It's all in Uncle Albert's eyes
It's all in Uncle Albert's eyes
It's all in Uncle Albert's eyes
It's all in Uncle Albert's eyes
In Uncle Albert's eyes

"Vital Signs"

"Vital Signs"


After we're done with all the
Catch me if you can, now
What do you think you'll best remember?
Isn't it time we let
Somebody else wave the flag, 'cos
We haven't seen it raised
Since last September

One foot over the line's what keeps us
Sneaking through the shadows
One word spoken in kind will find us
Back where we belong

After all is said and done
We've barely scratched the surface
But I think it's time we
Made a little room to breathe
How 'bout we play a little game of
Hide & seek for service
It's always been a beautiful sight to see
One foot over the line's what keeps us
Sneaking through the shadows
One word spoken in kind will find us
Back where we belong

We're barely human at the best of times
Best not forget to check your vital signs

It's really of no consequence
Your good or bad intentions
So long as every move is
Made with style

So now we're done with all the
Catch me if you can, well
What do you think you'll best remember?

One foot over the line's what keeps us
Sneaking through the shadows
One word spoken in kind will find us
Back where we belong

One foot over the line's what keeps us
Sneaking through the shadows
One word spoken in kind will find us
Back where we belong

We're barely human at the best of times
Best not forget to check your vital signs

One foot over the line's what keeps us
Sneaking through the shadows
One word spoken in kind will find us
Back where we belong

One foot over the line's what keeps us
Sneaking through the shadows
One word spoken in kind will find us
Back where we belong
