What's A Boy To Do?
03:17
|
|||
|
I've been wonderin' how
I've been splittin' in two
And just maybe, yeah
That's just how I do
I been tryin'
I been gettin' by
Thinkin' backwards, well
I can't tell you why
My mind's runnin'
Got me up all night
It's not wrong, though
That don't mean it's right
(Chorus)
Feelin' less and less in-tune
The closer that I get to you
But when that's all that I want to,
Tell me what's a boy to do?
Got me thinkin' now,
Got me torn in two
Part of me don't know
Don't know what to do
I can't figure,
I can't make my mind
What I want, now
I just ain't that kind
Now I'm wasted
Got me wastin' away
Talkin' crazy, and
Maybe that's okay
(Chorus)
I can't think straight, and
I been losin' control
Seems you've got me, oh
Seems you've taken a toll
Now I'm tongue-tied
Don't know what to say
Can't say nothin', well
It just comes out this way
|

2. |

|
I'm more, more than a little bit torn
Lyin' facedown on the floor
Thinkin' thoughts I can't ignore
These kind of thoughts I can't ignore, no more
For sure, oh now I've got to know for sure
What it is I'm livin' for
Well, could it be there's something more
it's got to be there's something more, in store
Before, feels like I've been here once before
Lost inside a metaphor
But still I want to re-explore
You know, I've got to re-explore, unsure
(Chorus)
Oh it's frightening, all that I can see
It's frightening, all I can see, these endless possibilities
What comes next, whoa, still I wanna know
What comes next, I wanna know, oh just how far it is I'll go
Tonight, oh it's got to be tonight
Under cover, out of sight
Now's the time to make things right
Got to be careful or it might ignite
(Chorus)
Oh it's frightening, all that I can see
It's frightening, all I can see, these endless possibilities
What comes next, whoa, still I wanna know
What comes next, I wanna know, oh just how far it is I'll go
Alright, everything will be alright
You don't have to leave tonight
Could stay right here and start a fight
No, we don't have to be polite tonight
(Chorus)
Oh it's frightening, all that I can see
It's frightening, all I can see, these endless possibilities
What comes next, whoa, still I wanna know
What comes next, I wanna know, oh just how far it is I'll go
(Chorus) x 2

Two Women
03:27
|
|||
|
I've got two women runnin' round my head
Got two women, yeah that's what I said
Two women got me, don't know what to do
Two women got me, got me torn in two
I've got two women livin' in my dreams
Two different women at two different extremes
They got me hangin' on their every word
Usin' my confusion to the point it's absurd
Distorted vision
Constant indecision
Creating this collision, unseen
I'm so divided
Still so undecided
Events have coincided between
I've got two women runnin' round my mind
I've got two women that I can't define
Two women got me don't know what to think
Two women got me so I'm out of sync
I've got two women livin' in my brain
These two women, they're all that remain
Oh, you know they got me, don't know how to act
Contorting and distorting til my world's abstract
Distorted vision
Constant indecision
Creating this collision, unseen
I'm so divided
Still so undecided
Events have coincided between

Consequence of Memory
04:00
|
|||
|
Build it up inside your head
High above the ground
Turn it into what you want
Idealized around
These images inside your head
Painted in your mind
Images with blurry lines
Designed to redefine
(Chorus)
All the memories you store
Safe inside your head
Are they memories for sure
Or fantasies instead?
As they begin to fade in time
But are forced to linger on
The consequence of memory
Is that it could be wrong
Lock it up inside your past
Chain it to the wall
Memories can not escape
You can change them all
(Chorus)
All the memories you store
Safe inside your head
Are they memories for sure
Or fantasies instead?
As they begin to fade in time
But are forced to linger on
The consequence of memory
Is that it could be wrong
Make it what you want
Make it what you want
Fake it all you want
Make it what you want
It's yours
It's yours

His Lady
02:59
|

His lady
Is driving me crazy
And just maybe
She knows
One of a kind
She's always on my mind
And never hard to find
Oh no
She always gets her way
And knows just what to say
Oh no she ain't afraid
No, oh
(Chorus)
I saw her standing underneath a waterfall
In the middle of the night, as I recall
She said she'd had a tiny bit of alcohol
And she was smokin' hotter than a fireball
His lady's
So intoxicating
She's so frustrating
It's true
Just about every time
She looks me in the eye
I get this feelin' inside
I do
Lookin' at her
Everything else is blurred
Oh, it might not be right
But it's true
(Chorus)

Time Is Running Out
03:34
|
|||
|
Time is running out
Oh, you can scream, and you can shout
But don't get up, get up your hopes
He'll just slash, and cut the rope
But please, please, please just don't give in
For if you do, you'll never win
Still our time is running out
And of that, there is no doubt
Time is running out
For the hopeless, for the devout
He is not choosy, he does not care
Without remorse, you won't be spared
But please, please, please you must resist
You must struggle to exist
As your time is running out
Make him wonder, make him doubt
Time won't wait for you
Time won't wait for you (x2)

Where do you disappear to?
Is it the space inside my head?
Where do you disappear to?
Is it better left unsaid?
And this place you disappear to,
Is it hard to comprehend?
With all these rules to adhere to,
Perhaps you need a friend?
(Chorus)
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Are you gone?
Are you gone?
Where do you disappear to?
Is it the space inside my mind?
Where do you disappear to?
Is it somewhere undefined?
Where do you disappear to,
Are you lost inside my dreams?
And this place you disappear to,
Is it further than it seems?
(Chorus)
Where do you disappear to
Is it hard to see?
And this place you disappear to
Is there space for me?
(Chorus)
|

8. |
||||
|
You know I always knew
What this was comin' to
And when you had to choose
Thought I'd be ready to lose
(Chorus)
Oh, I know you so well
And, yet, still I fell
So far, once again
I tried to pretend
You know I had to see
Ignore that part of me
I wanted to pretend
To be what we had been
(Chorus)
Oh, I can willfully ignore
Everything that came before
I'll pretend that I don't see
The signs that we could never be

Dreams
04:25
|
|||
|
Mind is reeling
Lost all feeling
Truth revealing
Another man, another place
(Chorus)
Secrets whispered backwards
Slowly spoken in reverse
I saw you in a dream and then I
Saw you in a hearse
Eyes are heavy
Hands unsteady
It's time already
Now I can hardly breathe
Thoughts aborted
Mind distorted
I'm transported
To the red room in my dreams
(Chorus)
Slowly sinking
Eyes unblinking
Can't stop thinking
Confusing every line
Time releasing
Fear increasing
Never ceasing
A dance from side to side
(Chorus) x2
Voices calling
Quite enthralling
Feels like falling
A dream that never ends
Thoughts repeating
Time retreating
The past deleting
Replaced by something else

Little Red Golfcarts
03:23
|
|||
|
Lately I been seeing signs
Everywhere I look
Signs that my mind has designed
That I can't overlook
Lately I been seeing things
Undoubtedly divine
They don't ever make much sense
But they still invade my mind
(Chorus)
I'm seein' little red golfcarts everywhere
A funny little feeling in the air
Tell me what you want to, all is fair
When there's little red golfcarts everywhere
Lately I been losing time
Distracted by myself
Can't escape what's on my mind
Can't escape myself
(Chorus)
Lately I've been hesitant
To read between the lines
What you don't go looking for
Is harder, then, to find
(Interlude)
Seeing surprises, all shapes and sizes
Things I can't ignore
All these illusions, causin' confusion
Leavin' me unsure
Wandering lies in less-than-subtle disguises
I still can't find the words
Things I've contrived, have mystified me
Reality is blurred
(Repeat First Verse)
(Chorus)
