Only Gonna Let You Down

I'm only gonna let you down
I'm never gonna set you free
From the need for affection
When it's getting real late at night
The desire for attention
Better get it when the price is right
But don't steal from the neighbors
Cuz that's taking up somebody's time
With bad information of some kind
Will you draw the line?
I'm only gonna let you down
I wish that I could help you stray
From the path to destruction
Sad junction, old tired eyes
Looking out the back window
Seeing nothing but cloudy skies
No routine for pleasure
Eating 27 pieces of pie
In bored isolation
I see why you found it hard to try
I'm never gonna let you down.

Drove around the entire country
Holding out for something new
Never seen anyone out there like you
Checking out all the passing strangers
Walking down the avenue
Never seen anyone out there like you
Falling into a blinding head trip
Transfixed until it's through
Never seen anyone out there like you
Chasing down a wild chimera
Getting lost and confused
Never seen anyone out there like you
Fighting off the rampant daydreams
Coming back black and blue
Never seen anyone out there like you
Had a drink of whiskey
Closing down a dive or two
Never seen anyone out there like you

Two Shakes

Got on a train this morning
I'm heading out
Trying to make it hard to turn around
Gimme two shakes
I'm coming back for you
Cuz these memories
Keep sending me
Looking for reception
Something pushed me over and I had to go
Tired of second guessing when I just don't know
Gimme two shakes
I'm coming back for you
Cuz these memories
Keep sending me
Looking for reception
Staring at the sunset
These memories
They keep sending me
Looking for reception
Staring at the sunset
Reflecting on these past years
and all I haven't done yet
Got on a train this morning
I'm heading out
Trying to make it hard to turn around
I'm looking for reception

Sunny Daydreams

I can look from the outside into any complicated mind
I can see all the paintings on the wall
I can read all your favorite books and
live inside your head tonight
I can spy on you in the bathroom stall
I could use all the girls and booze in the world
Doing all my most favorite things to feel good
Give a nice speech, lie on the beach in the sun
Change around a few of my beliefs for some fun
I can get what is determined as something very well-deserved
By the forces lying within me
I can fly like an angel to the highest moral ground for birds
I can flock like a memory to the sea

Easy Thinking
03:42

It's all in their heads with the books that they read
and the songs that they heard
the capacity for words
and the fear they hold inside while they're hanging for the ride
every outlook every day
as if it's the only way to be
scared of the truth
yeah we die
so what
I don't remember when I was young
I just know I had fun
easy thinking
No one told me what to become
I never cared about it
It was not worth it
It's all in their minds
With the past left behind
People left to meet
In the tavern, on the street
The affection they desire
The place is on fire
and they love to watch burn
they're all taking their turns taking pictures
...amateurs.
I don't know what to say
It just feels good today.

Can't See It
04:38

Hanging out
Feeling good
Time's on nobody's side but it's understood
Dreaming on
Passing through
Too much love to observe in a single view
Taken back
Head in hand
On the fly try and try
Barely understand
What to do
Drink it in
and then leave it alone or
let it win
Got anything I need
It's right here in front of me
It's always in between objectively obscene
and still I don't know why
I can't see it
Got nowhere else to be
Nobody left I'd rather see
Don't leave it up to me
I'm always in between objectively obscene
I know it's all around
but I can't see it

Talk to Me Now
02:11
|
|

Talk to me now
Like we're in love again somehow
We might've been happier then
We can always pretend
as if we don't know how it would probably turn out in the end
We can always be friends
Because we both know how it would probably turn out in the end

Right Right Now
06:46

I don't know who you are
I'm talking to you in some location I've never been before
Show me into your world
The things that you love
Deep convictions keeping you wanting more
I don't feel like you notice it
or you see it and don't accept
either way I will still present
please just take it and go with it
right right now.
I find similar ways in others like you
I tire quickly, hit me with something new
Touch me where I've been touched
Familiar and true
That's it right there... you know just what to do.

One More

One more sad song and I'll lose it for good
I'm moving along like the old neighborhood
It's something to see the sights, the buildings and the lights
Standing where my past would
One more bad night and I'll never grow up
My body gets old but my memory gets stuck
There's people who spend the day to find an easy way
To them I say "good luck".
