Riding on the valley
Sailing for the ocean
Well I really
I really love the way that you keep on rolling
Every kind of way
Riding on the valley
Right beside the ocean
And I wonder do you think I'll make it to heaven
While I'm still young
To see the other side
When you've said and done it all
Wasn't that a silly day
Riding on the valley
Right beside the ocean
I really, really love the way that you keep on riding
No matter what I say
And I wonder do you think I'll make it to heaven
While I'm still young
When you set me free
Because the ride is over
When you're trembling and weak
Just let me come back stronger
This is so much more than just me
Uh huh it's you
After you ride on that valley to me
Riding on the valley
Take all you need from me
Sailing for the ocean
This could be R.I.P.
You last so long
Do you think I'll make it to heaven

This Century

We are a part of the century
I told you you could have it all
Your geometry is futile
All the little pieces
You're moving like tetris
They're already perfect
Honestly, it's an honor
To be with you here in this century
Does it really matter what we make?
'Cause you and me are linked in time and space
And we were murdered
But we're still forever young
The tossing, turning, and your serenity
I'm saying we could have it all
So let's get up
And take it
Does it really matter what we make?
You and me are linked in time and space
And we were murdered
But now we're forever young
This is our place in time
Where we will live and die
And that's fine
Everything good seems to take a long time
Show me your heart and I will show mine
Once in a while shows up a good time
Show me your soul and I will show you mine

Birds In The Sky

Keep having this dream
Where you’re back inside my bed
But I feel so indecisive
So we just break up again
And you laugh and say
“I’m the one that you still love”
And all we are is birds in the sky
Flying south for our next life
From town to town
All we are is birds
In another dream I have
She asks me to come home
But I refuse
‘Cause of what I must become
And she laughs and says
that it’s just the way it is
And all we are is birds in the sky
Sit on a wire when our wings get tired
And sing a song
All we are is birds
Flying south for our next life
From time to time
All we are is birds in the sky

Cool Tigers
03:54

When you were speaking
Saying "listen up I'm Jesus"
I said "there's no fucking reason
That I would when you're so far away" and
I believe you could be worth all the preaching
Though I can't see you letting it go
All of your friends
Who are cool tigers
You know you ought to leave them
For this street fighting man on the moon
But who knows when?
I was only looking
For a silver lining
But there aint no use in trying
No, not with you honestly and
I really do not want to be uptown
And I'm plotting my escape
'Cause don't you see that I just can't take it
And don't you see that my will is breaking
I went to college it was never ending
They tried to make me smarter
But they wouldn't stop defending
What is written in stone
And I'm wondering how long
Until you come back home
I'm gonna find out
When you let me know
Are you gonna come back home?
No one else can decide
No one else can take it off of my mind
I really believe that you are sitting down
If you would take a stand
You'd probably never come down
I wrote a song but there wasn't any meaning
I only wish that you could see the dishes to the ceiling
Stacking up to the bone
And how long
Until you come back home
I'm gonna find out
If you let me know
Are you gonna come back home?
No one else can decide
Are you come back home
I'm gonna find out
If you let me know
Are you gonna come back home?
No one else can decide
No one else can take it off of my mind

Miss Lady

I'm gonna say how I really feel, Miss Lady
You don't have to say a word
If the timing's not right
Then I could wait for you
Unless it's not what you want
At the edge of reality
Yea, it's crazy
If you step into my world
It's a very strange world
But not like where you have fallen down
So meet me at the cemetery
You can wear your black dress
Before it gets too far
We'll stop a tragedy
And kill it for good, but still
I'll wish that there was more
I wish that there was more
To show you
At the edge of the union, it's Miss Lady
She's reaching back for what she knows
But I cannot blame her
After all, she is only a human
So meet me at the cemetery
You can wear your black dress
Before it gets too far
We'll stop a tragedy
And kill it for good, but still
I'll wish that there was more
That I could say
Just to let you know
Inside, how it feels
Wish I could show you inside
How strong I feel
If I could sweep you off your feet, Miss Lady
We don't have to settle down
There is no condition that I'm asking
And I could wait for you
Unless it's not what you want

Freaks
04:03

There’s freaks all around me
They’re following me everywhere I go
They’re walking with me when I go to school
And they don’t play by no one else’s rules
And oh my
I think they went too far this time
But I aint got the power
Even though I try
I’m seeing all the signs now
But really I just want to sleep
And the freaks don’t have no legs
So I can’t run them out of my head
And that’s why
I’ve been waking up so tired
I’d like to slip off the deep end for awhile
And soak up the bottom
And watch the clouds go by
Maybe we weren’t meant to
Fly like all the stars do
Haven’t had the nerve to kiss the sky
You know I really love you
But baby freaks weren’t meant to fly
Though I doubt it ‘cause I’ve seen them do it so many times
There’s freaks all inside me
They’re crawling on the inside of my brain
They’re working on me when I go to sleep
And giving me the strangest dreams
And that’s why
I think they went too far this time
But I can’t take them off of my mind
Even though I try
Maybe we weren’t meant to
Fly like all the stars do
Haven’t had the nerve to kiss the sky
You know I really love you
But baby freaks weren’t meant to fly
Though I doubt it ‘cause I’ve seen them do it so many times

Dominoes
03:30
|

|
If these walls could talk
Then they’d hear every word I say
Do do do do do
And then tell you
Where have you been
Why don’t you come back down to earth?
And let the record move you
To forget what you’re afraid of
Charlie please don’t worry
You’re still my girl
Always ask me to explain
The dominoes
Safe in your corner
With your back to the wall
Do you really do
What you mean to?
I guess what I mean to say
Is I miss you here at home
And I do not believe that you
Have much to be afraid of
Charlie really don’t you worry
You’re still my girl
Always ask me to explain
The dominoes
Come on Charlie
Don’t you worry
You’re still my girl
I wanna watch them fall
Charlie please don’t worry
You’re still my girl
Always ask me to explain
Come on Charlie
Don’t you worry
You’re still my girl

When you’re feeling worthy
Don’t blame it on me
I’m just jivin’
You’re jaded as can be
Seems like everybody’s 30
And we’re 17
Still arriving
Reactionaries
Just because you’re doing good
It doesn’t mean you have to put me down
‘Cause you know I’ll stick around
I won’t rest till your spirit has been found
I’m just asking
Why do you put me down?
You make me feel so dirty
Don’t ask me why
I’m still crying
Nobody can touch me
Just because you’re doing good
It doesn’t mean you have to put me down
‘Cause you know I’ll stick around
I won’t rest till your spirit has been found
I’m just asking
Why do you put me down?
I’m just asking
You wanna put me down
I’m asking
When you’re feeling worthy
Don’t blame it on me
I’m still trying
‘Cause I know what we can be
Why do you put me down?
I’m just asking
Why do you put me
Why do you put me down?
