Speed Trials

Hes pleased to meet you underneath the horse
In the cathedral with the glass stained black
Singing sweet high notes that echo back
To destroy their master
May be a long time til you get the call-up
But its sure as fate and hard as your luck
No onell know where you are
Its just a brief smile crossing your face
Running speed trials still standing in place
When the sockets not a shock enough
You little child what makes you think youre tough
When all the people you think youre above
They all know whats the matter
Youre such a pinball yeah you know its true
Theres always something you come back running to
To follow the path of no resistance
Its just a brief smile crossing your face
Running speed trials standing in place
Its just a brief smile crossing your face
Running speed trials all over the place

Don't Go Down

Her own body outlined in chalk
She had seen
Woke up in shock
She had a dream
Stay with me, baby stay
Don't go down
Don't go down
Stay with me, baby stay
Don't go down
Don't go down
But I knew the sense of worthlessness you have to rise above
I fought him off with my love
Called himself commander-in-chief
And her dad
Her mother called me a thief
Stay with me, baby stay
Don't go down
Don't go down
We can spend eternity
And I said I'll find a better place

Wouldn't Mama Be Proud?

The question is wouldn't mama be proud?
There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud
And the pretty pose that you're taking as
As an emcee, oh, of the great pretender
I should sure think so
Wouldn't mama be proud?
"can i take your order?"
Asks the heavenly host
Ticket to the jetstream
Blowing coast to coast
The long stemmed glasses, a movie
And a pleasant dream in mid air
You gotta tell me quickly
Cos we're almost there
Wouldn't mama be proud?
If you look out your window
And the sky's gone black
Well kid you're on the right track
If i send you postcards
From the side of the road

A Question Mark

I got a question mark
A got a need to always take some shoot in the dark
I dont have to make pretend the picture Im in is totally clear
You think that all things have a way they ought to appear
cos you know you know you know you know
You know you know you know you know you know
I dont
I dream
Dont know what you mean
Panic called you out and took you in
Giving you an easy game and letting you win
Youre giving back a little hatred now to the world
cos it treated you bad
cod you couldnt keep the great unknown from making you mad
cos you know you know you know you know
You know you know you know you know you know
I dont
I dream
Dont know what you mean
Said your final word, but honesty and love couldve kept us together

Harvest Moon (live)

Come a little bit closer, hear what I have to say
Just like the children sleeping, we could dance the sun away
But there's a full moon risin', let's go dancin' in the night
We know where the music's playin', let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers, I watched you from afar
Then we were lovers, I love you with all my heart
But now it's getting late, and the moon is climbing high
I want to celabrate, see it shining in your eyes
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

Good To Go

A low riding junkie girl
Rode down south to yr little world like a dream
You can do it if you want to
You can do it if you want to
You can do it if you want to be like me
I wouldnt need a hero if I wasnt such a zero
If I wasnt such a zero
Good to go
All I ever see around here is things of hers that you left lying around
Its all I ever see around here
She kicked new york like a curse
And you traced her footsteps in reverse up to queens
You can do it if you want to
You can do it if you want to
You can do it if you want to be like me
I wouldnt need a hero if I wasnt such a zero
If I wasnt such a zero
Good to go
All I ever see around here is things of hers that you left lying around
Its all I ever see around here

Toms Start

Activity is killing the actor
And a cops standing out in the road turning traffic away
Theres nothing she could do until after
When his bodyd been buried below
Way back in the day
Oh my nothing else could have been done
Made his life a lie
So he might never have to know anyone
Made his life a lie, you know
I told him he shouldnt have sent her
Hed only be making it worse
Bothering somebody else
But I he that hed never forget her
While her memory worked in reverse
To keep her safe from herself
Oh my nothing else could have been done
She made her life a lie
So she might never have to know anyone
Made her life a lie, you know
What I used to be will pass away and then youll see

Happiness

Activity is killing the actor
And a cop's standing out in the road turning traffic away
There's nothing she could do until after
When his body'd been buried below
Way back in the day
Oh my nothing else could have been done
Made his life a lie
So he might never have to know anyone
Made his life a lie, you know
I told him he shouldn't have sent her
He'd only be making it worse
Bothering somebody else
But i he that he'd never forget her
While her memory worked in reverse
To keep her safe from herself
Oh my nothing else could have been done

Blue Highway

Wide awake at 4 in the morning
Killing time on the blue highway
Drag in the day like a body
Burried the night under where Id layed
On all the sides, the frost bites, a shadow creeping up on me
Oh yeah, its like the club in my hand
Its my favourite brand
And youve touched everyone
Oh yeah, its like the back of your hand on the tip of my tongue
And its starting to get fun
Kids say I didnt see it coming
Busy just plucking your burrs
I take long walkes cos theyre numbing
Only wanna speak in code
On all sides, the frost bites, a shadow creeping up on me
Oh yeah its like the club in my hand
Its your favourite brand
And youve touched everyone
Oh yeah its like the back of your hand on the tip of my tongue
And its starting to get fun
