Which path should he follow
which rules should he break
as a child he made his choices
made the same mistakes that everybody makes
He had some lessons
now a man and not a child
a voice in the crowd that's singin'
with his eyes up to the sky
Oh the Father of the universe
the Father of laws
You made it too hard to
believe in Your cause
You never proved it
so please don't blame us
What is it all about?
explain it to us
what is it all about?
explain it to us
He's finally reached that age
stable life is fundamental
he thinks he hasn't changed
but that's just being sentimental
He got some answers
but he thought there's be some more
oh and all those questions
just like long ago
Oh the Father of the universe
the Father of laws
You made it too hard to
believe in Your cause
You never proved it
so please don't blame us
What is it all about?
explain it to us
what is it all about?
explain it to us

Hey Now
03:16

Standing in the road
wind's a blowing cold
time has come to make a move
your feet are planted though
You might just laugh
you might just cry
you might not care, you realize
further down the road's your ride
you decided you should go
Hey now, hey now, hey now
where'd you go?
Walking down the road
don't know which way to go
had no time to pack your bags
it's such a heavy load
You might go left
you might go right
you can't look back without hindsight
before you leave turn out the lights
with the time moving so slow
Hey now, hey now, hey now
where'd you go?
Dark end of the road
no place left to go
no street lights to lead the way
ankle deep in the pot holes
You can't roll on you can't roll in
you turned your head
you can't begin
to read the signs that lead you in
out from all the cold
Hey now, hey now, hey now
where'd you go?
Hey now, hey now, hey now
where'd you go?

Dotted Line

Standing on a plank
Hands tied behind my back
I'm dizzy now
To take another step
Would be to take one back
I'm diving now
Standing at the bridge
You see the path is paved
Let's try it now
Pull over on the side
Weight falls beneath our feet
I'm flying now
No matter what unfolds
The pages fall back right
When you're squinting through the smoke
You'll see that there's a light
Keep your hands upon the wheel
Follow the dotted line
When you connect the dots
Everything will be alright
Standing at the gate
I'm reaching for the key
Where is it now
Push or do I pull
What's waiting there for me
I'm finding out

Push and Pull

Moon
to the sea
feels the pull
slave to the gravity
Air
that we breathe
chemical
space between you and me
Up from down below
darkness grows
waves crash at our feet
Swept up on the shore
turning slow
wash out to the sea
There you go with the give and take
the push and pull
I drink the glass
half empty and half full
One look back and you hesitate
Invincible
to the past
half empty and half full
Surf
that we ride
ever more
rolls out with the tide
Dance
through the year
in control
force is centripetal
Up from down below
darkness grows
waves crash at our feet
Swept up on the shore
turning slow
wash out to the sea
There you go with the give and take
the push and pull
I drink the glass
half empty and half full
One look back and you hesitate
Invincible
to the past
half empty and half full

Frog on a Pond
04:16
|

|
Frog on a pond, waits for a fly
All day long, the flies buzz by
He stabs with his tongue, like a shot in the night
And he takes his aim, like a day takes daylight
Black cat's on a prowl, mouse on the run
He needs some cheese, before the day is done
Cat's in the cradle, moused sniffed the cheese
Cat set a mouse trap, snap went the mouse's knees
As a means to satiate, the cravin' that's aloof
A means to alleviate his rotten black sweet tooth
That hunting that inebriates, the predator and prey
That hunting that'll deviate the game for another day
The rest of my life, in the palm of my hand
Sweaty hand at the wheel, I drive when I can
Into the gas, I push with my weight
And I use my shoulder, to drive real straight

You get away with murder with the way that you look
When it comes to knives and smiles it was you who wrote the book
I'm always in a hurry never keep a lady waiting
And while you take your time I'm busy with my cuts from shaving, yeah
You're looking out the window on the world you've been creating
Situations that you're facing have all been exaggerated
You're running in the night and cutting through find a light
You take a look around and all you see is are blind, yeah
Can't stand the comfort in letting go
Are we living fast or dying slow
Unreal the feel of your touch and go
And it's maybe, maybe and yes and no, yes and no
You look a oh so good oh when you're walkin' clad in denim
All you're spittin' in my ear you know is oh so wet with venom
The whistle in your whisper such a sweet melody
As if your words, as if they were a poison remedy, yeah
We're stretching out the hours and we see the daylight's fading
Another minute now's without another sense of waiting
All the rumors and the secrets that you whispered in the hall
Subtracted are the promises that added up to nothing at all

Overdrafted Promises
06:06
|

|
We see the distance spreading out
By the time we're down and out
Agreed on what we talked about
In having picked the safest route
A wealth of knowledge cost so much
On a shelf it sat untouched
We went to shake off all the dust
All we found was lack of trust
Overdrafted promises
He says what she says
She says what he says
We see what's in front
May come from behind
Turn your tired eyes
To the morning light
Turn your tired eyes
To what you had in mind
In the rearview mirror now
I see the sirens scream so loud
I see a little clearer how
How I lost you in the crowd
I sailed right on past red lights
As you grew further from my sight
I drove to what I couldn't find
While all along you were my sign

Waves
04:03
|

Get carried away and you can't see
Where to begin
Or just where you've been
You come up for air but you can't breathe
Your wind within
From way back when
You bathed in the waves
That crashed on my sandcastles
Wandered through the haze
Where to it had you baffled
Add up all you saved
You're left with but a handful
Tolls you never paid
Why bother what's the hassle
You're lost in your mirror baby
You love yourself with all your wealth
You see what the naysayers can't see
But it's a sin to be lost again

Subtract Me
04:48
|
|||
|
Your hair's blowing back from the strain
There's too much thinking
It's the wind in your eyes
That keeps it whippin'
Too many cracks in the sky
The stars are slipping
Down an astral slide
Turning and twisting
The wind on your fire's up high
Smoke's got me squinting
I can't believe what I see
Is what you're thinking
Is to take a free ride
Down that mountain side
You must be tripping
All I ever wanted to
Was to do, was to be
When you add up your lies
Subtract me, subtract me
Umbrella is hiding the rain
Can't feel it dripping
Yet you try to explain
With more fat lipping
You feel wet with restrain
Break free stop skipping
A broken record's refain
Groove in start dipping

Safe Bet
05:41

You're riding a safe bet, on a safe bet you get what you get
You're riding a safe bet, on a safe bet your money is spent
You're riding a safe bet, on a safe bet you sit where you sit
When there's money on the pavement, and you're cuttin' corners right and left
Oh you're living a quite life, for you yeah that's something new
Better than the fire and ice, of the seasons that you just lived through
Turned your back on paradise, you turned around and paid your dues
What you paid it was twice the price, of what you thought was coming back to you
Coming back to you (x3)
All of a sudden the day was night, the bell toll it brought the news
Of how the shadows would bleed to light, how the story was to follow through
Instead of color there's black and white, periphery a shade of blue
Lookin' back on your hindsight, it's gonna catch up to you
But it's up to you (x3)
