Global Warm My Heart
03:10
|
|||
|
My heart’s as cold as a Detroit winter’s night…
My baby’s gone… so I’ve turned on every light…
And I filled up my Suburban…
And drove all over town…
And chopped down every tree that I see in this here town…
Global warm my heart… My baby’s gone again…
Global warm my heart… so I might love again…
I preach to masses about how I don’t believe…
Changing perceptions as I change reality…
And I hope I get them out there…
Burning all the coal…
Drilling offshore oil…
And melting all the snow…

Saw you there on that August day
Times were hard I couldn't hide away
You came to me just like a favorite song
Stuck in my head all day long
It got cold and began to snow
What you meant I didn't even know
My thoughts running throughout the night
My feelings shift just from your sight
Auburn... Auburn... It's time I let you go
I'll stand back and watch it all fade to grey
I just hope I'll see in color again
Time passed and then came spring
SO86 was the last scene
Tried my best just to move along
It wore me down my will was gone
My thoughts still run throughout the night
And I feel stings just from your sight
You came to me just like a one hit song
And just as fast you were gone

Freedom Road
04:30
|

|
Mountains touch the sky like they could reach heaven if they tried -
In valleys below people ask Him for forgiveness for their sins -
Singing praises, singing hymns, ending them with Amen -
I’m so far from home… and Freedom Road…
I’m so far from home… and Freedom Road…
They all feel the pain like fire’s burning deep within their veins –
Filled with hope that one day all their worries will be gone –
Singing verses, singing songs, who’s to say that they are wrong?

Transylvania

Don’t let the world win – Don’t let those vampires suck the blood out of your soul –
You’d hate that shit – so let them know –
You’ve got the holy water, crucifixes, stakes for their hearts – stakes for their hearts.
Don’t look them directly in the eyes – you’ll be entranced – in Transylvania –
And there’d be nothing worse than that – no one can save you – in Transylvania…
Don’t let the world win – Don’t let immortality fool you – You’d hate that shit – so let them know – You’ve got the holy water, crucifixes, stakes for their hearts – stakes for their hearts.
Don’t let the world win – Don’t let those vampires suck the blood out of your soul – You’d hate that shit – so let them know

Anything But Me
03:42
|
|||
|
Live underground – Get swallowed by the sea –
Find a place to live until your eyes turn green –
Talk to the fish – and tell me what they say –
Keep your eyes to the skies – Girl, don’t worry ‘bout me –
And I’ll begin - to build my wishing well grin –
On a mountain in the state – where hatchet men live –
And you can take – a handful of fake –
And bake a cake of unspeakable sin
Walk to left- Now slide to the right –
You’ve got kitchen detail – for the next fortnight –
We’ll have a house – And we’ll have a home –
We will conquer the world – invite the cows back home –
And we’ll have a round table – Much like the past –
And when the knights all gather – We will break our fast –
If time is money – We are rich men –
How can we make sure that our money’s well spent?
I want to be normal, happy, and free –
But I don’t think I’ll ever be anything but me –

Set Me Free
05:01
|
|||
|
I don’t want to wake up early anymore
Only to drive a hundred miles from my front door
Just to sit there in a daze
And watch the hours melt away
I would rather get up – and look out with my eyes
Upon the majesty of the bluest skies
And turn to greet your smiling face
There’s nothing better than today
Is there a way to say – I’d love you all the days?
Oh let me count the ways – I know it’s cliché babe
But it’s so true to me – Oh what you do to me
There’s no better way to be – You know you set me free
You set me free
And the horizon runs away – Extending life if not the day
And my love will never fade – Never to disintegrate
I took my pictures down and boxed them all up –
And shredded files that were confident –
And now I’ll never be here again
At least I’m with you till the end –

Sky is Falling
03:35
|
|||
|
The sky is falling – on the street today –
I see clouds and birds and angels – And I say –
“Great sky – don’t bother me today –
I’d rather be dancing, drinking, singing all the day”-
And if the rain comes down – I’ll call the sun out of its den –
And if he won’t come out – I’ll try again…
So why – this tipsy-turvy day –
Do you keep spinning, spinning, spinning, all the way? –
And I try – to overlook the past –
But this bitter aftertaste just seems to last –

Opportunities
03:25
|
|||
|
If I had a chance – to make everything I hear –
Sound so sweet and clear – like music for my ears –
Why wouldn’t I take it?
I’m not so cynical that I can’t see the good in things –
Don’t be critical about these opportunities…
If I had a chance – to make every color I see –
Appear so vividly – to me – from indigo to aquamarine –
Why wouldn’t I take it?
I… am now gonna try – try to make things right –
Am now gonna try – ‘cause now I see the light –
Baby, hear me – Are you listening

Before You Say Hello
03:56
|
|||
|
Don’t say goodbye – before you say hello –
I see it in your eyes – you love me. Yes, you do –
But don’t let them know – Your feelings –
Those you never show –
Don’t say goodbye – before you say hello –
Don’t close your eyes – you won’t know where to go –
Life is just one long sigh – if you go at it alone –
Darling don’t hide – I can still see love in your eyes –

Feel This Way
04:48
|
|||
|
Dead inside and hollow – you’re the winter, I’m the fall –
Saw the leaves change – made me wonder what’s the same –
And I don’t want to feel this way, no more – I don’t want to feel this way –
I don’t want to feel this way – but I don’t want to say –
I don’t want to waste no more time – I don’t want to be left behind –
Saw the sunset early – My wings have melted like the snow –
Spent time reflecting – not accepting what I know –
Sunny days have gone away – sunny days –
I’ve never felt this way before – You don’t know me anymore –
I don’t want to say.
