Dip your head into the ocean
Tell me what you see
I see molecules in motion
You wouldn’t understand
Now you’ve grown to be a man
If we pretend that we’re young
We can get away with just a smile
If we pretend that we’re having fun
We can stop and stare just for a while
And scrape away
Scrape away
Take a nap in the Sahara
Tell me about your dreams
Are they far away or near
And you won’t understand
When you grow to be a man

Most the others come and go. But you’re
stickin’ around for a good enough while, & I’m glad you’re here.
Possessive nature not on the receiving end, but I’d
feel perturbed to even say a word about it.
All the wonders of my psyche find a common light. But I’m
still unsure of what I’ve heard, & what I’ve time to do.
Moved by music that comes from the deepest corners of my soul.
All the wonders of my psyche find a common light. But I’m
still unsure of what I’ve heard, & what I’ve time to do.

Smooth sailing all the days
Nothing that out of place
Something just chips away
I feel it everyday
The wire
Always gets the best of me
The wire
Always leave me speechless, nothing to say
Can we stop please?
Can we stop please?
Helpless, obsessed

Can somebody tell the man in the back of the room to be quiet please.
He’s killing my narrative that I’m trying to push onto the mainstream.
Can somebody ducktape his mouth cause I don’t want you hearin’ what he says.
Please everybody stay asleep!
Listen to the sound of my voice, don’t ever distrust the words that follow.
I am superior, my voice means more than truthful people.
Ignore all opposition even if it could be helpful.
Please everybody stay asleep!
Can somebody tell the man in the back of the room to be quiet please.
Can somebody tell the man in the back of the room to stop his words of truth.
Who even told you that his words were words of moral truth.
Oh wait…
Listen to the sound of my voice, don’t ever distrust the words that follow.
I am superior, my voice means more than better people.
Ignore the implication that we’re worse than many people.
Please everybody stay asleep!
Can somebody tell the man in the back of the room to be quiet please.

Never thought I’d see you again
Look at all the plastic people acting like we don’t exist
All these trends, they come and go
But stick with me, it won’t be long ‘till we find a way out of here
But it’s alright if we leave tonight and never make it home
Yeah it’s alright, we’ll find brighter light if we begin to roam
All these men living haunted lives
No one ever knows what’s going on behind the stage at night
Skeletons shining all their bones
And shadow men who never learned the difference between right and wrong
But it’s alright if we leave tonight and never make it home
Yeah it’s alright, we’ll find brighter light if we begin to roam
[Solo]
Never thought I’d be here again
But look at all the plastic people acting like we don’t exist
All these memories come and go
But stick with me, it won’t be long 'till we find a way out of here
But it’s alright if we leave tonight and never make it home
Yeah it’s alright, we’ll find brighter light if we begin to roam
But it’s alright if we leave tonight and never make it home
Yeah it’s alright, we’ll find brighter light if we begin to roam
All of the plastic people
Hiding underneath the skylines
All of the plastic people
Hiding in the corners of my eye
But it’s alright if we leave tonight and never make it home
Yeah it’s alright, we’ll find brighter light if we begin to roam
But it’s alright if we leave tonight and never make it home
Yeah it’s alright, we’ll find brighter light if we begin to roam

Mark - What's Up?
04:09
|

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
[2x]
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
[2x]
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

Eaten whole by these desires
By something cold, a promise of some bliss
I’m sorry for all the facades
The man I knew didn’t look like this
The war’s been won inside my head
Though I still feel a bit drained and dead
I’m closer now to you somehow
But I still need to fill this void

Lesley - April Showers
04:22
|

|
What’s going on inside my brain
It always feel like rain is
Gonna fall, but it never does
You read the book so many times
Yet you can’t recite a single line
What’s the deal with incongruity?
It feels like April showers
Are coming through today, if I’m not mistaken
Let’s hold a great parade and
Throw our troubles off the cliffs of Dover
Over and over again
One, two, three, four falling in a single file
Now I’ve lost count, I can’t keep count
Of all the people in my heart
It feels like May flowers
Are springing up today, if I’m not mistaken
Let’s have a picnic and we’ll
Throw our troubles off the cliffs of Dover
Over and over again
It feels like summertime
Is coming true today, if I’m not mistaken
Let’s have a party and we’ll
Throw our troubles off the roof once and for all
Over and over and over

Chris - The Good News

The line is empty
There’s no film anyway
I’m selling tickets
And there’s no one who will pay
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
I don’t know what’s best
I won’t wish upon a star now
A couple of years is like a couple of worlds apart
It’s in the distance, but I still play the same guitar
Was everyone always this self-deprecating?
I don’t remember it like this
You tried your best but it didn’t work out
I’ll try to teach you the meaning of style
Just play it off like it’s every man’s game
But try not to let it get to you
I know you better than that, man
Sometimes I feel a bit disconnected
A bit worn out
Overlooked and undetected
It’s not a big deal, it’s not a big deal, it’s not
No one’s lining up
But it’s alright, I’m the manager of this joint
I make the rules around here
What I say is what I say
And what I say is what goes
Ya feel me? Do ya feel me?
The mailman’s here with another letter
He’s here to bring me the good news
It’s gonna come someday, just don’t, just don’t worry about it
It’s gonna come someday, just don’t, just don’t worry about it man

Lesley - The Lonely Ones
04:06
|

|
In my heart
And in my soul
I feel it coming every day
When my heart
Skips a beat
I sometimes forget to blink
We are the only ones
Who measure how we feel
We are the lonely ones
We don’t know how it feels
To be in love
Be in love
As the day
Turns to night
I see you at the grocery market
Buying food
For your dog
And your cat
But not yourself
When this feeling escalates
To something I call love
I start to feel a little empty
And I forget to breathe

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
‘Cause people believe that they’re
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world’s still spinning round
We don’t know why
Why, why, why, why
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high? (we were getting high)
Slowly walking down the hall (we were getting high)
Faster than a cannon ball (we were getting high)
Where were you while we were getting high? (we were getting high)
(we were getting high)
(we were getting high)
(we were getting high)
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Where were you while we were getting high?
