Signal Run 04:10

Signal Run You’re having fun Telling me about catastrophe What you share You try to scare It’s not true Your warning is askew With your timing try to fill my head You did it all just by turning red Flashing fear so I would respond I’m standing here for so long Signal Run You’re having fun You’re telling me How bad it will be What you share You try to scare It’s not true Your warning is askew I know this Summer you had your fun with me I take my walk try to get to the sea To see my girl and lie in the sun But all you did try to leave me all undone Signal Run You’re having fun Telling me about catastrophe When I come back you will let me through But you will make me wait is what you love to do And all your friends don’t seem to care They have their own agenda way over there From here to there Signal Run You’re having fun Telling me about catastrophe What you share You try to scare It’s not true Your warning is wearing through Signal Run Signal Run You’re telling me how bad it will be You’re telling me

Kingdoms Will Fall 03:40
lyrics
buy track
You know the lights will turn off by themselves You’ll have to see if you are all by yourself You may be inclined to think you are blind Moving in darkness will focus your mind Kingdoms will fall when you are crying Cover it up continue lying If you think it’s best to stick it out I will tell you friend you can do without You don’t need to put it in reverse Know where you are and you can leave this curse Kingdoms will fall when you are crying Cover it up continue lying You don’t need to go back Kingdoms will fall when you are crying Cover it up continue lying Don’t hold yourself down This bond is through Take what you need and leave This is for you

Working On Perfection 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Working on perfection Writing down what you want to do Plan executed timing is on cue A deviation we will not accept A straight line no need to correct All you say Is not heard in the same way All your planing can’t protect you Not all roads have rails Working on perfection As you work it out it may seem clear When you try life will interfere Hold the phone you are indisposed Not the way you thought when composed And here you are A raisin or a rising star And all your words will mean nothing Until they are all penned Working on perfection Working hard you’ll have your mistakes All the chances you’ll have to take Lines are straight in your mind But the curve all of the time To kingdom come You’ve just begun Raise your banner Use a ladder Yeah you may have fun Working on perfection

Be What You Want 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Be what you want Follow your heart Reach in your soul And come back to what you’re looking for Get high on to know you want more I can see the pain that’s in your eyes I know you’re looking for The path that is before you is the prize It’s ready for you Are you? Make the switch and Ditch your sales pitch Turn this show into Make it go What you see just can not be It’s all too much to wait and see Take your chance and branch out on your own It’s waiting for you It’s up to you When you find the words you want to hear Say good-bye to all the ones you fear Stay in tune out in the clear It’s up to you Be what you want Follow your heart Reach in your soul And come back to what you’re looking for Be what you want Follow your heart Reach in your soul And come back to what you’re looking for Get high on to know you want more When you get the feeling there’s no hope I know you’ve been looking for it Make the change and make it on your own It’s waiting for you It’s up to you Be what you want Follow your heart Reach in your soul And come back to what you’re looking for Be what you want Follow your heart Reach in your soul And come back to what you’re looking for Get high on to know

Stuck 04:16
lyrics
buy track
What the hell I’m stuck in the basement I thought this would never be me All my wishful thinking Crushed by reality Hey will you bring me some dinner So close but I’m not ready to drive You know I’ve been living on cornflakes And a steady diet of lies I’m gonna need a good meal and some wakeup pills A fine wine and some time If all you’re saying to me is true You know I crashed here on Wednesday My support is somewhat estranged I should have known on that Sunday Would leave me blown away I’m gonna need a good meal and some wakeup pills A fine wine and some time If all you’re saying to me is true If all you telling me is true What the hell I’m stuck in the basement

Two Spies 03:38
lyrics
buy track
I can’t stop loving you And know you’re no good We met by what you thought was chance I knew you would fall We want the same things but you want it now It’s all give and take until you wear your crown I know your every move And I know why you do You think you’re onto me But I’m onto you You think you have your hooks in me I had you believe But I left some crumbs for you To taste the seed I knew you’d fall We’ve gone to quite extremes to get what we want Cued on some subtle clues I will throw you off I know your every move And I know why you do You think you’re onto me But I’m onto you

Won't Break Just Bend 03:56
lyrics
buy track
I can’t believe what you’re saying But I’ll give you respect The filling station they need your business What they’ve come to expect You don’t have to worry I will always be your friend You don’t have to worry Our bond won’t break just bend I read your message that you left on Tuesday You just love to dig in If I respond where does it go And who will get to the end? You don’t have to worry I will always be your friend You don’t have to worry Our bond won’t break just bend You’re going down in flames Got one up on you You’re serving up another one I’ll have to defuse We can go on forever playing this game But there is no victor No chalice to claim You don’t have to worry I will always be your friend You don’t have to worry So here we are with our minds made up I know you’ll never agree I think we’re done now I’ll see you later I think we both need relief You don’t have to worry I will always be your friend You don’t have to worry Our bond won’t break just bend You don’t have to worry I will always be your friend You don’t have to worry Our bond won’t break just bend You don’t have to worry

Last Good-bye To Know 03:19
lyrics
buy track
You lived your life to full Full of denial You said those things Will just go away But I had my eye on you We got to get clear Those things you’re throwing away You had your head in the sand You were the last good-bye to know You had your head in the sand I did what I can I watched your dreams All go up in smoke No one lied to you But sometimes you got to do Because maybe it’s true Sometimes you have to think it through You were the last good-bye to know Taking my words and looking away Thinking you have another day Taking my words and you had nothing to say You have it your way You shouldn’t look surprised That you were compromised What you ignored is going to stay You’ll never make it stop No matter what groove you cop Won’t make it like it was yesterday What is today is all we can do You were the last good-bye to know

You, Hey Na 03:23
lyrics
buy track
You You have to let it go You got have some self control In order to move ahead It’s not better to lie in bed Used Used all your energy Used it all recklessly Now we’re stuck Out of luck It’s all gone It’s due Our attitude It’s all over used Yeah Sing your blues But what’s you gonna do? Hope And say your prayers Ask For something upstairs But what if they ask of you What’s you gonna choose? Hey na na na na Hey na na na na Got to keep my head down low Cutting loose some self control Down the line maybe time will tell To move along no matter what you sell Used All your energy In Your conspiracy Now we’re stuck And we need to find Clear your mind Hey na na na na Hey na na na na

The St. Louis 04:54
lyrics
buy track
Staring out my window A dawn without a sun Another start to a new day And so we sail on I left my homeland my family It turned on me Social rage Ideology Fueled me desperately Our destination was denied Don’t want you people The cry inside So we turned north for a chance Only shoreline did we glance Will you take me on? Will you take me in? We are turned away We are granted no stay So we depart broken hearts Some of us die in the waves We all know what lays before us When the St. Louis finally docks I can’t hide who I am We are the Voyage of the Damned Our destination was denied Don’t want you people The cry inside So we turned north for a chance Only shoreline did we glance Will you take me on? Will you take me in? Will you take me on? Will you take me in? Will you take me on? Will you be a friend?
