Clocks Run Out

Back in town again, everything is feeling as it should
Fancy yourself a walk through your old neighborhood
The world keeps turning, nothings ever staying in its place
While you were gone you got left out of the race, lost your place
What will you do when the clocks run out
From chasing the clouds away
You’ll find yourself left behind at the station
What if they’ve gone to stay
Flashback night again, all the kids are grooving it around
Take your place on the floor if you’re getting down
Somethings wrong here, all the faces that you see have changed
As for the rules that you played by, they’re not the same. Things have changed!
What will you do when the clocks run out
From chasing the clouds away
You’ll find yourself left behind at the station
What if they’ve gone to stay
You never understood how things could be this way
You’re locked out of the show as music starts to play
Go find an open book, go find a caravan
Go find a place where you can lay your weary head down
You never understood how things could be this way
Got called out by the crowd for all your yesterdays
Choke down your Jameson, or smoke your cigarettes
But don’t you ever never ever let it get you down
What will you do when the clocks run out
From chasing the clouds away
You’ll find yourself left behind at the station
What if they’ve gone to stay

Follow Me, My Dear
04:23

Whole and justified in the morning,
Streaming through your window by the evening
In a sparkling sequin shell
As she drew her bath you fell
Monette takes her trips with all those fancy types
Glides from arm to arm in the club by night
She summoned you down from your stage
She took you home that very day
Is this the last thing that I needed
My own history repeated
Your caress I crave
Within reach I’ll stay ’til sunrise
Hypnotized by bloodshot eyes
Follow me my dear we’ll go
Trade these city lights in for the great unknown
Follow me my dear we’ll go
Melodies that flow on a feather
Floating from the tongue, she’s wrapped you to her tether
As the music starts to fade
You’ll be on your own again
Aching through the day
Wide awake I lay til sunrise
Paralyzed by your reply
Follow me my dear we’ll go
Trade these city lights in for the great unknown
Follow me my dear we’ll go
Maybe this ain’t right but I know we cant be wrong

Heartache Turned To Song
04:46
|

Shuffling down broadway, coffee in had
Feeling comes over me and over again
As she passes by, sundress and a smile
Gaze like the ambling waves of the sea
Carving a heart-shaped hole straight through me
But the lights have changed, and it’s already dawn
Better take it in while you can
These moments are bound to end
Every year around this time she’s circling by
Down in the forest near a river of mud
It’s here they are dancing through the leaves and the dust
And she’s joining them, each year and again
Eyes like the swirling path at our feet
Wander through light and through darkness to deep
Til the fire glow guides us home again
There by the smoke and the flame
They’re swaying the night away
The evergreens lean in to say “she’s headed your way”
Every little time that I see that girl all of these things go wrong
Up there on the stage of a turning world, heartache turned to song
Caught in the crossfire, something unique
Spinning around me as if I had peaked
Has she called my name? Taken me by the hand?
Saxophones weaving with the sound of the air
Kaleidoscope travelers defining a fair point of view
And its you, and its you
Just as the sun has to rise
I’ll be leaving here in due time
Even when I cannot be found, you’ll know where I’m bound
Every little time that I see that girl all of these things go wrong
Up there on the stage of a turning world, heartache turned to song

Coffee

Starin’ down at the bay,
I got a feelin’ today
My adenosine is blocked, and nothin’s gonna get in my way
They bring it in by the bagful
And lay it onto the shore
I got pots on the stove and supersonic jets outside my door
You’re gonna pay for the coffee
I’m gonna sell you some skin
I’m gonna give you some sugar
And you’ll never know what you traded in
I got the world on a string
I could pay the angels to sing
I got a theory notion that some of us are born to be kings
It’s a hell of a ride
It’s just a natural high
I’ll be here countin’ the beans til baby waves bye bye
You’re gonna pay for the coffee
I’m gonna sell you some skin
I’m gonna give you some sugar
And you’ll never know what you traded in
I don’t mind,
It’s a crash that i can get behind
I’m so refined
What a creamy delight
We can go all night
It’s a tricky kinda vibe
Keepin’ caffeine on your side
Gotta play it off like no one had to die
Hold out as long as you can
Before you’re taken by the hand
And when you get the bill you’ll really understand
You’re gonna pay for the coffee
I’m gonna sell you some skin
I’m gonna give you some sugar
And you’ll never know what you traded in

We Can Do Better
03:47

Remember the time that you broke down on me in the street?
You screamed through your tears, called me out on my years of deceit
I fell back on the wall and I shrank to the floor
I’d completely forgot what I came here for
We were lost in a pattern that we don’t need anymore
We Can Do Better
We Can Do Better
If we keep it together
We Can Do Better
Our fruits have all died from a poison that seeps through the ground
Bought in to this bullshit so distant from who we are now
Now we’re holding each other and wondering why
This improper prescription we continue to try
We’ve been given a chance to leave this sickness behind
We Can Do Better
We Can Do Better
If we keep it together
We Can Do Better
What will come tomorrow no one can say if you’re stuck in your yesterday
I don’t really mind what I do today as long as we find our way
We Can Do Better
We Can Do Better
If we keep it together
We Can Do Better

A Fine Day In Gdynia
03:01
|
|||
|
Autumn nights
In a field of blue moonlight
Passing time
On intercontinental hotel lines
Have you ever felt that way?
Just another chance to seize the day
Traffic cars
And the occasional side-street bar
Gothic towers
Sprawling through the midnight hour
Nothing to do now, its up to you now
So take a walk to the oceanside
Catching the eye of strangers shuffling by
Bring it back to the nightclub vibe
Have you ever felt that way?
Seems your plan turned out ok
Seabirds calling, rain is falling down
(Heartbreak aside)
Store fronts glowing, so inclined to see
(You will see then, when you find the time)
Find some peace of mind, its a fine day in Gdynia

Distant Shore
04:34
|

I’ve heard the mission bells ringing from the gates of Shambhala
And when they’re ringing, the hills that hold them don’t seem very far
I’ve felt the cooling breeze flowing from the trees of Eden
And when it blows here, I know that somewhere there lives a garden
I’m still waiting for the day, I don’t have to run away, and I can change my ways
I’m still searching for the place, the last time I saw your face, lost forever now in space
I still think about the ones who said they’d stick around through thick and thin
But in the end, like Sonny said, this life’s a solo trip
So, I’m packing all my bags and making plans to find this distant shore
And when I get there, maybe you’ll be there to sing and dance a little more
I’m still waiting for the day, I don’t have to run away, and I can change my ways
I’m still searching for the place, the last time I saw your face, lost forever now in space
Where the music is filled with wonder
We all get high with one another
And each new companion has only good news to share
Where the children come out to meet you
The town’s keepers there to greet you
And the moonbeams shine like our mother’s silver hair
Starry-eyed gazing into the sky
Azalea danced up the mountain side

Impossible Dreams
04:49
|
|||
|
Every year its the same, you’ve done it again
Turned your tail and run
This time I can’t hang my self-worth out to dry
I’m not the only one
I stood upon a trapdoor I thought was a concrete floor
And dropped like an anvil
Word is going around how you’ve got me gagged and bound
As everything unravels
I gave all I’ve got and it’s not enough to fulfill your impossible dreams
Fill up your suitcase, move on to the next place and draw from a whole other scene
Friends grow old and tired and pissed
We both can’t go on like this
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen all my plans get washed out to see
And sink like a pebble
How can we know whose to blame? Maybe we’re all insane
With hearts made of metal
I gave all I’ve got and it’s not enough to fulfill your impossible dreams
Fill up your suitcase, move on to the next place and draw from a whole other scene
Friends grow old and tired and pissed
We both can’t go on like this

Ships In The Night
03:58
|
|||
|
Sunlight burning low,
Twilight starts to glow,
Tripping down the cobblestones of your mind
Chasing through the market square,
Crowded streets begin to clear
Tripping down the cobblestones of your mind
Falling backwards onto the grass
Torn your peacoat right down your back
You’ve gone too far with your Ships in the Night
You’ve gone too far with your Ships in the Night
Skyline shining clear,
Right down the street from here,
If you feel you’re good to go you’re alright
Friendly faces in a maze,
Find a new one everyday,
If they’re here to stay then you’ll now in time
Stumbling forward into the mud
Scuffed your new shoes, look what you’ve done
You’ve gone too far with your Ships in the Night
You’ve gone too far with your Ships in the Night
