Old love, new moon light
No stars in the dark night
She doesn’t act like she did yesterday
Her love is hard to see far away
Ooo, aahh
Old song, new station
I’ve lost our location
She doesn’t talk like she did yesterday
Her love is hard to see far away
Ooo, aahh
Ooo, aahh
Ooo, aahh
Ooo, aahh
Old themes, new echoes
I don’t know where she goes
She doesn’t love like she did yesterday
Her love is hard to see far away
Her love is hard to see far away
Her love is hard to see far away
Her love is hard to see far away
Her love is hard to see far away
Ooo, aahh
Ooo, aahh
Ooo, aahh
Ooo, aahh

Here—Tonight
03:34

I’ve lived my life all wrong
I’ve lived my life all wrong
I’ve lived my life all wrong
But the love you’ve shown
Tonight
Makes me want more of life
You’re mine
Here—tonight
I’ve said my last goodbye
I’ve said my last goodbye
I’ve said my last goodbye
But the love you’ve shown
Tonight
Casts us in a new light
You’re mine
Here—tonight
You have killed my wish to die
I’ve lived my life all wrong
I’ve lived my life all wrong
I’ve lived my life all wrong
But the love you’ve shown
Tonight
Makes me want more of life
You’re mine
Here—tonight
But the love you’ve shown
Tonight
Makes me want more of life
You’re mine
Here—tonight

Life Outside
04:32
|
|||
|
Well, I’m all rolled up again
I feel the weight of the world all the time
But I want to creep back out again
Out to a place I can breathe and let go
Of all the things that I fear and I loathe
I gotta get over it now
I stand up straight so my brain gets its blood
And I shout, “I’m invincible”
And I take steps back and forth in a line
And I look to the sky for a sign
Looking forward to my life outside
Where my limits are all my design
Maybe all it is is lies, lies, lies
But I’m still looking toward my life outside
So maybe it's not the right time
I’m sort of sore and my head feels too dense
But I know that I’ll come ‘round to it
Someday I’ll fly from the bed of my dreams
And I’ll jump in the hills and the streams
Looking forward to my life outside
Where my limits are all my design
Maybe all it is is lies, lies, lies
But I’m still looking toward my life outside
Check my socks for tightness
Check my teeth for whiteness
Check my eyes for brightness
Check my being for lightness
Looking forward to my life outside
Where my limits are all my design
Maybe all it is is lies, lies, lies
But I’m still looking toward my life outside

Sleepless I
01:26
|
|||
|
Lock it away, the drama, the grief
Loss lasts forever when you take it for free
You looked too good to make mistakes like me
The dark, the dark
Finds me sleepless, like a princess on a pea
You knock at night, oo ah
You knock at night, oo ah
You knock at night, oo ah
You knock at night, oo ah

Sleepless II

Sleepless?
Try worthless
Just the latest problem, if you want want ‘em, well I’ve got ‘em
I’m just toast
Stolen
From my arms
No reason and no rhyme it’s got me thinking all the time
What could I have done
Fated
To go on
But if I have an issue be it health or existential
There is a solution
Everything is data
The world is made of code
Everything is set, you see, there’s only objectivity
Everyone knows
Make a list as the problems unfold
They tell me
Put it in a self-addressed stamped envelope
And send it to the mathematicians
Pay them well so they do a good job
Let them make their calculations
They’ll double-check so they won’t get it wrong
And when the results come in
Trust the numbers
Trust the numbers
I have questions
They have answers
I’m not qualified so I am letting them decide
For my betterment
Confident
Taking heart
All the things inside of me are quantified to make me feel
Nothing
Make a list as the problems unfold
They tell me
Put it in a self-addressed stamped envelope
And send it to the mathematicians
Pay them well so they do a good job
Let them make their calculations
They’ll double-check so they won’t get it wrong
And when the results come in
Trust the numbers
Trust the numbers
Send it to the mathematicians
Pay them well so they do a good job
Let them make their calculations
They’ll double-check so they won’t get it wrong
And when the results come in
Trust the numbers
Trust the numbers
Trust the numbers
Trust the numbers

One Final Ride
03:31
|
|||
|
The people on the streets
They all know how it is
They’re living the life of the sybarites
And they all know it’ll end
It’s a vicious kind of cycle
But the cycle’s already collapsed
We run on the fumes of the future
We know we’re taking
One final ride
Taking it past the limit this time
One final ride
Gonna come out on the other side
One final ride
The people have spoken
But there’s nothing important to say
Peace is a luxury
We never had it anyway
War has broken
And we’re never gonna fix it
It has to stay the way it is
We know we're taking
One final ride
Taking it past the limit this time
One final ride
Gonna come out on the other side
One final ride
Every forest’s burning
Every glacier’s melting
Every baby’s crying
Everybody’ praying
Every treaty’s breaking
Every missile’s aiming
Every head is shaking
Every finger points to
One final ride
Taking it past the limit this time
One final ride
Gonna come out on the other side
One final ride
One final ride
One final ride

Out for Hope
03:53
|
|||
|
The way it started I don’t know
It was the only one I ever had
I don’t know (I don’t know)
I don’t know (I don’t know)
It wasn’t shiny but it sparkled
It had its own kind of inner glow
Inner glow (inner glow)
Inner glow (inner glow)
Oh my God, Oh my God
I never wanted to live without having that
Oh my God, Oh my God
I never wanted to live without having that
I guess I started losing contact
It was a gradual loss of control
Of control (of control)
Of control (of control)
It made it easier to cope
I never had to hold out for hope
Out for hope (out for hope)
Out for hope (out for hope)
Oh my God, Oh my God
I never wanted to live without having that
Oh my God, Oh my God
I never wanted to live without having that
But I love this place I’m in
I feel it every day
All of my mistakes they seem to
Fade or wash away gladly
And though I know I lie I can
Pretend I had tough times
Maybe I’ll just try to maintain
Oh peace of mind

Civil Aliens
04:04
|
|||
|
Sitting around feeling all drugged up
I’ve been wondering how I’m gonna become
Someone in a land of bias and greed
Maybe I’m brave, but I’m not free
I can feel you out there studying me
You see from afar with webcams and spies, webcams and spies
And now we have high walls
It’s not your fault, civil aliens
You can attempt to sneak by
I’d dare not try, civil aliens
What I grew up with was pure bliss
It was nothing close to resembling this
We’ve missed the point of serving the greater good
If I were a mover and a shaker
I would try to mix things up
The stuff we hold dear: the stars and the stripes, stars and the stripes
And now we have high walls
It’s not your fault, civil aliens
You can attempt to sneak by
I’d dare not try, civil aliens
And now we have high walls
It’s not your fault, civil aliens
You can attempt to sneak by
I’d dare not try, civil aliens
All of our guns are manned
Understand, civil aliens
We have been told to shoot to kill
And we will, civil aliens

Lights in Summer
03:57
|
|||
|
The surface of us, covered in dust, is all we know of us
The surface of us, covered in dust, is all we know of us
The surface of us, covered in dust, is all we know of us
The surface of us, covered in dust, is all we know of us
But if we take our shoes off
It might make us remember
The time when we were lovers
The night we settled down
The lights in the summer
In the middle of the town
All that we see, daily routine, is all that amounts of you and me
All that we see, daily routine, is all that amounts of you and me
All that we see, daily routine, is all that amounts of you and me
All that we see, daily routine, is all that amounts of you and me
But if we take our shoes off
It might make us remember
The time when we were lovers
The night we settled down
The lights in the summer
In the middle of the town
Another today, more shades of gray, nothing to do, nothing to say
Another today, more shades of gray, nothing to do, nothing to say
Another today, more shades of gray, nothing to do, nothing to say
Another today, more shades of gray, nothing to do, nothing to say
But if we take our shoes off
It might make us remember
The time when we were lovers
The night we settled down
The lights in the summer
in the middle of the town
But if we take our shoes off
It might make us remember
The time when we were lovers
The night we settled down
The lights in the summer
In the middle of the town

Under Dim Light
03:57
|
|||
|
Tonight, yeah tonight
When we dined under dim light
You crossed your legs, you dabbed your eyes and smoothed your sweater
Tonight, well all right
In the booth under dim light
With lowered eyes and heavy hands together
We should relax
Tonight, what a sight
In the back under dim light
To see the future melt to memory; to start over
Try as we might
In our life under dim light
We cannot hold for ransom the things we can’t recover
We should relax just a little
We should relax just a little
We should relax a little, it’ll help us when we say goodbye
We should relax just a little
We should relax just a little
We should relax a little, it’ll help us when we say goodbye
You’re a walking memory
You’re a walking memory
You’re a walking memory
You’re a walking memory
We should relax just a little
We should relax just a little
We should relax a little, it’ll help us when we say goodbye
We should relax just a little
We should relax just a little
We should relax a little, it’ll help us when we say goodbye

Dance Like a Hypocrite
05:00
|
|||
|
Swimming in autumn
It’s getting cold, but for now I’m all right
Just treading water
Under the moonlight
Thinking of nothing
Hoping I’m seen as much deeper than that
Making an image
I can be proud of
Still though I struggle
I’m just a big goof wrapped in seriousness
I want to be young again
So I wear my old clothes
Sometimes I falter
Sometimes I say I’m okay in a way
That isn’t convincing
Not even to me
But I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
So I’m a neurotic
So I’m as asocial as anyone else
So sometimes I like it
So maybe I’m honest
Sunny and softly
The way I like my mornings to come
But all my emotions
Are inverse proportions
But I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
Maybe I’m young
Maybe I’m dumb
I don’t need a reason
To live on a loan
But I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
I just wanna dance all night like
Some kind of hypocrite
