Overlook
03:18

The view up here is something to behold
As I look across the valley below
Cities and towns seem so small
That it doesn't make any sense at all
Why we get so aggravated
At the littlest thing someone else did now
Can't see the cars, can't hear the sound
Thousands of people running around
Screaming at each other like they were still kids
Shouldn't evolution take care of this
Maybe we all should come up here
When life leaves us grinding our gears
Take a deep breath and realize
That we still live under the same sky now
The view up here is something to see
Valley below still looks so green
All the towers like little white specks
Makes me think we should all care less
About life's little problems and all that stress
When we still have a place like this
Take a deep breath and realize
That we still live under the same sky now
Maybe we all should come up here
When life leaves us grinding our gears
Take a deep breath and realize
That we still live under the same sky now

NERFIL

Mommy and daddy told me
Gotta find someone to marry
Before you wind up all alone
There's something they didn't tell me
Something quite necessary
If you wait for love
To come from above
Then you'll never get what you want
Chorus
Nobody ever really falls in love -- they just think so
Nobody ever really falls in love -- they just think so
The thought that's in your heart
Comes from the brain
The part that can drive you insane
Your mind's always gonna change
What you think will rearrange
'Til it leads you down a different path
In that wake you find
The ones that you left behind
Are sad and confused
'Cause what they thought was the truth
Was nothing but a trick of the mind
Chorus
So the moral is
Don't get suckered in
By all that true love crap
Just know yourself
Then warn everybody else
That you'll only be
Faithful until you see
The next one who will blow your mind
Chorus

So Much More
04:18
|
|||
Looking out across this reach
Where all the distance seems to grow
You on your side, me on mine
In the end, both of us know
We could be so much more
We could be so much more
We could be so much more than this
Angry words for angry times
I choke them down as best I can
Go for a walk to clear my head
All I can feel is the touch of your hand
Can't we be so much more
Can't we be so much more
Can't we be so much more than this?
Too tired of talking round and round
We need good earth beneath our feet
But if there ain't no solid ground
We'll shake the worlds of those we meet
We will be so much more
We will be so much more
We will be so much more than this

Waiting for the Thaw
04:41
|
|||
I can't take the cold
Attacking every bone
Depriving me of the warmth that I need
I'm waiting for the thaw
So I can make my way back home
And maybe find a little piece of mind
Chorus
There's no sun out today
To get rid of all this gray
I feel myself start to shake
I don't know how much I can take
Until my body begins to break
How long will this last
This chilling arctic blast
It's driving me absolutely crazy
Another snowy day
Adds to all the pain
With every flake I feel my heart breaking
Chorus
I'm waiting for the thaw
So I can make my way back home
And maybe find a little piece of mind

Brain Freeze
03:41
|
|||
I was out too late
Now I can't think straight
You asked me where I was
I gave you the date
I'm seeing double
Know I'm in trouble
Looks like your holding a gun
But that's not possible
Chorus
I think my brain just froze and I can't get it started again
You're talking slow
As the shadows grow
Looks like there's a second head
Coming out of your nose
You're breathing fire
Flames are growing higher
I'm praying this is only a dream
As I start to perspire
Chorus
What should I do now?
I'm too confused now
I think you're speaking in tongues
'Cause everything's foreign now
I should just crawl away
Just call it day
Haul up a white flag
Let you have your way
Chorus

Lights along the River
04:30
|
|||
Rolling out of the city following the lights along the bank
Watching them dance through the trees thinking that they're waving good-bye
Silence grips the northbound train as the people start to fall asleep
But I can't get you off my mind so I just sit here wide awake
Chorus
As the lights along the river fade off into the night
This train will bring me home but not to you
As the lights along the river fade off into the night
This train will bring me home but not to you
I know my place is up here where you can still see the stars
And the moon casts its glow over the streets of the town
You have your shiny island where the neon lights stay on all night
But that only made me restless, now I've got to say good-bye
Chorus

Got laid off from my job
Knew they wouldn't keep no working slob
As for women, ain't gone none
What I wouldn't give to have just one
So when you see me smile, you know
Can't keep a good rat down
My place is just a hole in the ground
Only come out when you ain't around
Had to fight for what I own
It ain't much, but it's my home
So when you see me smile, you know
Can't keep a good rat down
And when the sun don't shine for days
Forgive me if I rant and rave
Through the winter cold and snow
Just trying to save my soul
Been through hell and back again
Lived my life, sinned my sins
Got absolution, an easy mind
Now I know it's my time
So when you see me smile, you know
Can't keep a good rat down

Wandering Madison

Wandering Madison again
Hoping to find a friend
Searching for someone I can rely on
Wandering Madison again
Things used to be so clear
The days when I held you near
My addictions got in the way, you couldn't stay
Now my life isn't so clear
Watch the couples as they walk down the street
Jealous of what they have
Try to remember when that was me
Life didn't seem so bad
Wandering Madison again
Feel like I'm at the end
Of a rope that's been dangling and tries to keep strangling
The hope out of this poor soul again
Gather my thoughts it's so hard to do
When everything hits you at once
Hope you can hold on till you find someone who
Is willing to give you a chance
Wandering Madison again
Hoping to find a friend
Searching for someone I can rely on
Wandering Madison again
I'm wandering Madison again
Feel like I'm at the end
Of a rope that's been dangling and tries to keep strangling
The hope out of this poor soul again

Rear View
03:51
|
|||
All these lights come shining down
But I still don't know where I am
One wrong move, one wrong move is all it takes
To send me farther away from you
I've got a heart so fine and true
At your side to see you through
Can't read the signs that you left behind
As you fade in my rear view
This road is long and winding down
Designed to let you run me round
One missed step, one missed step and I'm gone, gone, gone
And we're poised to fall away
You got a heart so fine and true
Warmth and wisdom burn in you
Can't read the signs that you left behind
As you fade in my rear view
The sun shines down but I'm still cold
Trying to find my way back home
One wrong turn, one wrong turn is all it takes
To send you down another lonely road
We both got hearts so fine and true
In separate worlds so strange and new
Can't read the signs that you left behind
As you fade in my rear view
