Drip 04:56
We’re going down to New Orleans We’re going down to replay, replay How we got put in this ball and chain Then hatch a plan to escape, escape We’re gonna have to plead our case We’ll have to clean up all the traces Before a jury of our peers A jury of familiar faces . . . We’re gonna cross the bridge again We’re gonna cross the bridge that’s crumbling We’re gonna step upon the ledge We’re gonna step, and then we’ll jump in We’re gonna spin the carousel We’re gonna watch it rotate, rotate We’re gonna feel it resonate Across the years, across the landscape . . . How many minutes do I have left? How many minutes – the notion, notion How many minutes do I have left? How many minutes to go through the motions? We’re going down the stream again We’re going down to find our old friends And we will build a shrine to them A legacy that won’t end, won’t end

You Got Me 03:54
A certain chemistry Dragging your feet Knocked the wind out of me It’s vaguely familiar We stumbled over this Autopilot Feeling that there’s Something pulling It’s just an inkling We’re pooling together The tricks up your sleeve That slipped between the cracks ‘Cause we’ve awakened A sleeping giant Who’s waiting for The right moment to strike You got me going You got me going You got me going You got me Tuning the dial To just the right frequency Opens the floodgates To hidden treasure Where colors pop like Carbonation In technicolor Pixilation This urban legend A striking resemblance You’re twitching, shaking Turning into this ‘Cause floating in your Peripheral vision Is picturesque You can hardly catch your breath You got me going You got me going You got me going You got me

Far Apart 03:21
If I’d say we’re far apart, I wouldn’t be this way
4.
They 03:53
They got me thinking ‘bout money They got me thinking I’m funny But I know I’m holding onto a dream And, I know I’m holding onto a dream Did you find your way back home today? Did you find your way back home today? Did you lie, in a way, to find your own way? Did you find your way back home today? They’ll understand They’ll understand They got me thinking I’m useless They got me thinking I’m ruthless But I know I’m holding onto a dream And, I know I’m holding onto a dream Did you find your way back home today? Did you find your way back home today? Did you lie, in a way, to find your own way? Did you find your way back home today? They’ll understand They’ll understand They’ll understand They’ll understand

In a shiver of doubt, would you care for me? You say you want me out, what’d you expect from me? I can be you low end I can be on top of all of your conditions I can be so faithful I can be the one thing

Sinking Ship 03:48
Questions always on my mind You can’t answer there’s no time We live a complicated life Let’s find a way to get this right I’m in the middle of a sinking ship Trying to find my way out So you can wait for me I said I would face my fears Combined over all these years Now that my head’s all clear I can get back to being here We cannot fess up to who we are They have the guns to let them play We have the bombs to make them pay A massacre without a face Decimation in the wake

Taped Noise 05:44
Trying to keep a head above water Nearly drowned, but “hey, I can’t complain” You keep saying Can’t quite put my finger on it Time moves in the price of gasoline Ya know what I mean? Every town has a story Word of mouth is practically a plea Through clenched teeth Keep in mind my prized collection Hold that thought, it’s carrying me away That highway I don’t know why I’m getting old like You So soon Silhouettes we fight the winter Cinematic, wrestling with the cold How long can you go? Even though you’re stealing from us That’s okay; we’re stealing from you too Gotta stay new Alleviating all your symptoms All the gems you found along the way Slide into place Still I’ve got this nagging suspicion That’s been banging on the door for years Through the old fears I tried my I tried my whole life To get away I paid the I paid the price for My escape Seems so obvious, yet no one’s Ever done it quite like this, my friend Out of this dead end Time to tender resignation Looks as though your ship has just arrived The nick of time Rile them up, and keep them distracted All the voices that had been drowned out Stirring about Remnants of a previous mind frame You look like you might have seen a ghost So let’s toast I don’t know why I’m getting old like You So soon

And now that we have met It seems the end is creeping in Through long-forgotten bliss They try to keep beneath the skin And in the final act I guarantee a twist at the end ‘Cause I’d give anything If I could feel that way again And we have started to realize the lessons learned And we have won the battle for least absurd And people talk, and they become what they despise And lose their thoughts ‘cause violence is on the rise Do you remember where You were when you heard the news? Public opinion polls Making an offer you couldn’t refuse It must have slipped my mind Because I’m not myself today But this acquired taste Awakens ancient history Once in a while It’s gonna take me there Once in a while It’s gonna take me there And we have started to realize the lessons learned And we have won the battle for least absurd And people talk, and they become what they despise And lose their thoughts ‘cause violence is on the rise Once in a while It’s gonna take me there Once in a while It’s gonna take me there

Your Pain 04:15
I feel, I know your pain You run, I’ll hide away I’ll call your name and wait I don’t wanna be here I don’t wanna stay with you anymore I wanna be alone I just wanna let go I don’t wanna be with you anymore I think I’m gonna go I feel, I know your pain I know your fate and place You run, you’d run away
10.
Headphones 05:36
I really shouldn’t wait so long for you This really shouldn’t take so long Maybe I should wait with headphones I really shouldn’t stay so close to you We really couldn’t make this work Until I defeat my demons Slow down through your crown No sound through the ground I’m really gonna waste my time with you I really hate to waste my time You have to know how slow you are I really didn’t see myself with you I really didn’t see myself But here we are today with headphones Ohm, is this worth fighting for?
