Whitewash
(bill leen, robin wilson)
This night never happened
If its all right with you
Not a word of our weakness
So much as a clue
Theres a place outside
Im glad to play no part
The fairest arms can tally up the faintest stars
Wash away my weekend
Shatter my sight
Cmon sweet amnesia
Youre needed here tonight
Take a seat in the shadows
Forget it as it goes
Dissipate in the morning air
All you know
If you find out
Youll find every lie you might
I was nowhere near last night
Whitewash everything in sight

Day Job
Well we've been here once before
And we've stuck it out for more
When we come around well settle down
The cracks below the floor
Has it been eleven years
Since I've stood here with my peers
And we started out to conquer doubt and frisbee
I shouldve been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
You're not missing much for sure
Only everything that's yours
And at times it fails and we're full sail in the gutter
Is this home cause I forgot
If it is then thanks a lot
cause I can't pretend to know one end from the other
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
You're not missing much for sure

Follow You Down
(scott johnson, bill leen, phillip rhodes, jesse valenzuela, robin wilson)
Did you see the sky
I think it means that weve been lost
Maybe one less time is all we need
I cant really help it if my tongues all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge, its just the farthest that Ive ever been
Anywhere you go, Ill follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, Ill follow you down
Ill follow you down, but not that far
I know were headed somewhere, I can see how far weve come
But still I cant remember anything
Lets not do the wrong thing and Ill swear it might be fun
Its a long way down when all the knots weve tied have come undone
Anywhere you go, Ill follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, Ill follow you down
Ill follow you down, but not that far
How you gonna ever find your place
Running in an artificial pace

Wasting My Time / Ill Find Out What There Is
Chain me up
Its easy to take, it is
Its never enough
To care for the outcome
The average faith that there is
Discussions of nothing pertain to the mountains
Rattling around in the my head
Maybe theres nowhere or no one to run to
But Ill find out what there is
Oh well, Ill find out what there is
And Im using up space
We wear in our travels
And straight into hit or a miss
And Im watching my childhood and hometown unravel
And Ill find out whats left
Oh maybe Ill find out whats left
Slipping down landslides
Bearing on wildlife
And my biggest days
All your faith in your liberal disclosures

Pieces Of The Night
(doug hopkins)
Is it any wonder that the stars just dont rush by
When youre only doin 60 through this oh-so-vacant night
But its lacking something big this time
What the hell did you expect to find
Aphrodite on a barstool by your side
Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight...
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember if at all
Only pieces of the night...
And is it any wonder in the middle of the crowd
If you let your feet get trampled on
When the music is that loud
But you wanted to be where you are
But it looked much better from afar
A hillside in shadow
Between the people and the stars
Twelfth night we go

Fireworks
(vocals--jesse valenzuela)
The fireworks from the rooftops fall down around this hotel
So tell it seems like so long since Ive had you beside me here
We used to walk together
Ive nothing to show me now and it seems like so long
Since Ive had you beside me here
Well hes got ropes and chains all around her heart
And nothing I can say could ever tear them apart
Her mumbles come now softly (? )
From the other side of this room
And the things she wont say
Just reminds shes not alone
Well I cant help but feeling a little more than blue
Cause the things that matter just dont mean a damn to you
Well hes got ropes and chains all around her heart
And nothing I can say could ever tear them apart
The fireworks from the roofs all fall down around you
So tell it seems like so long since Ive had you beside me here
Lets a walk together
Ive nothing to show me now and it seems like so long

Found Out About You
All last summer in case you dont recall
I was yours and you were mine forget it all
Is there a line that I could write
Sad enough to make you cry
All the lines you wrote to me were lies
The months roll past the love that you struck dead
Did you love me only in my head?
Things you said and did to me
Seemed to come so easily
The love I thought Id won you give for free
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
Rumors follow everywhere you go
Like when you left and I was last to know
Youre famous now and theres no doubt
In all the places you hang out
They know your name and know what youre about
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard

Seeing Stars
(robin wilson)
Spit it out, the sad truth
One of many secrets we acquired in youth
My dirty clothes
Lately I keep em in the luggage that you to gave me
With a little luck, one night
Well drink together in a different light
Our heads down, our ears ring
We only see angels when we both believe
Take me, take mine, hide it away
Take me, take mine, hide it away
Spit it up, the right words
Of course we always keep em where we know it hurts
The little things you did too
Id almost still believe if it werent for you
Take me, take mine hide it away, hide it away (so late? )...
You said surround me when its over, I cant stand it another night
Forever now and definitely sober
When we stare in a different light
Spit it out, the sad truth

Competition Smile
(phillip rhodes, robin wilson)
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now its creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
Im high and Im hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now Im going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Emulate the style
A competition smile
Now Im running, not looking
And opening up my brain
Where its easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
Im hoping youll notice
That no one else helps me grow
Oh, its not easy to let you know
What Im dying to show

I Can Sleep
(vocals--jesse valenzuela)
She can be anywhere she wants to be tonight
In the arms of another man I know
But that wont bring me down on the night Ive got tonight
Theres nothing there, can you understand at all? ? ?
Cause I can sleep without you...
Ive got no reason to doubt it
I cant live without it
I aint in no big hurry
My life aint filled with worries
Lots of men tie themselves in knots all over you
Thats something I promised myself Id never ever do
Cause lifes too short to go on living with this sin
Cause I saw a pretty face and you know Id cave right in
Cause I can sleep without you...
Well Ive got no reason to doubt it
I cant live without it
I aint in no big hurry
But Ive been filled with worries
Well she can be anywhere she wants to be tonight
