ON THE INSIDE
Like a train that’s run off the tracks,
Just a split second to react.
Your head is spinning above it all.
Any minute you could fall.
Footsteps in the back of your mind,
Getting louder all the time.
Try to drown them out you will,
But in the light of dawn they’re with you still.
Seems that everyone knows,
How your story is going to end.
Stuff in your own mind,
Drowning in the sands of time.
Early morning birds will sing.
Have you ever thought of joining in?
Oh, for just once won’t you try.
And sing with them into the sky.
Seems that everyone knows,
How your story is going to end.
Stuck in your own mind,
Drowning in the sands of time.
Felt so lost, could not be found.
Time and time you’ve fallen down.
Tried so hard to find a way.
To make some sense of what you feel today.

SHEEP (ONE OF THOSE DAYS)
They're telling you what to do
They're telling you what to day
They're telling you not to do thing your own way
They're telling you where to go
They're telling you who to know
They're telling you not to be such a so and so
They're telling you what to think
They're telling you what to eat and drink
They're telling you not to kick up such a stink
They're telling you where to go
They're telling you who to know
They're telling you not to be such a so and so
They're telling you what to say
They're telling you what songs to play
They're telling you not to sing them your own way
Have you ever had one of those days
The smile seems nailed to your face
And everything aches with the effort it takes
Have you ever had one of those times
You feel like you're learning your lines
Time after time you tell them you're fine
Don't be a sheep
Ba-ba-baaaaaa!

UNDERGROUND
I flew into Chicago on a Hellcat 33
We saw no light the entire ride
Down the escalator to Cafe Mystery
That's where I met her, my new sweet city guide
The IT crashed that day and was now running late
Figured we'd be grounded there for a while
With the sweetest smile she whisper, "don't worry, mate"
Two tenths later we're screaming away in style, singing.
Whoa, gonna bury it underground
Whoa, gonna lay it down
Whoa, gonna bury it underground
Whoa, gonna lay it down
I unpack my bags in my new spacious digs
Refreshing sweetness in the air
She says to me it's a 3-tiered purifier
The best in homeopathic care
Hard to believe most people live like this now
A population underground
It's 81 Celsius today, December 5th
So good to be down here safe and sound
Whoa, gonna bury it underground
Whoa, gonna lay it down
Whoa, gonna bury it underground
Whoa, gonna lay it down

LOCK AND KEY
Spread your wings and fly with me
For all the world to see
No longer under lock and key
Let our love go free
Pain and past wounds when they come
Knockin’ at the door
Turn the key and rise above
Heal the world once more
One door closes
Another opens wide
Unlock your heart with me
Let your light shine
Spread your wings and fly with me
For all the world to see
No longer under lock and key
Let our love go free
Breaking down walls
Building up again
Forgive what is past
Learn to trust again
Breaking down walls
Build it up again
Release from the past
Learn to live again
Spread your wings and fly with me
For all the world to see
No longer under lock and key
Let our love go free

SEÑOR EL DIABLO
Riding east across the western plains
Back in the saddle again, hands on the reins
Looking to the future like a light that shined
Knowin’ I was yours and you were mine.
Uh uh hunh, Oh yeah…
Robbin’ banks with 45’s like Jesse James
Love like ours, forever true, just can’t be feigned
Wild as the West, oh no, we can’t be tamed
On the trail of Fortune and of Fame
Years passed by, we lived a life of crime
Guess I shoulda known that we’d run out of time
Signs were everywhere but I could not see
Blind and deaf and dumb as a man could be
Uh uh hunh, Oh yeah…
Then the dark-haired stranger joined our outlaw band
Fun and fast and fearless like some hoodoo man
First he turned your head and then he took your hand
You both lit out across the Rio Grande.
Lying still as death on barren ground
Searchin’ for a reason that can’t be found.
Shot through the heart and left for dead
Thinkin’ ‘bout all the things you said.
Uh uh hunh, Oh yeah…
Never had the slightest notion you’d be untrue
That was the one thing I thought you’d never do
But Señor el Diablo knows a trick or two
He worked his charms and ended up with you.

KEEP WAVING ON
I saw you dancing by the ledge
You saw me swimming on a powder keg
The shorebirds soared with a knowing eye
The beach was empty and the tide was high
It’s ten years later, we meet again
Your knees, bandaged, like my aching hands
The carousel by the ocean shore
It’s boarded up and it goes no more
And you wave like a goodbye / And you take my heart to ride
So little changes down in my heart
Sometimes I think, then the teardrops start
You seem so peaceful, so graceful and sure
I thank the heavens, I’m with you once more
CHORUS
Wave to say hi /Wave for Goodbye
CHORUS
By the ledge / We made our pledge
I saw you dancing on the edge
We’ve seen the seasons, and empty nests
But now it’s winter and the birds are gone
And in the storm’s eye, it is all calm
CHORUS

FALL WHERE THEY FALL
If I get stuck here
Won't you please move me along
And if I lose my way
Please just turn me around
'Cause I'm a dreamer
I'm still chasing down a dream
Though I haven't pinned it down
I'm still trying to find the meaning
If I get nervous
Don't you let me ramble on
If I forget the words
Please just finish my song
'Cause I'm a dreamer
I'm still hung up on a dream
Though I haven't pinned it down
I'm still trying to find the meaning
So deal the cards out
Let 'em fall where they fall
Remember me
Should you need someone to call
If you get backed against the wall
If my fire goes out
Won't you please give me a light
And when the darkness comes
Won't you keep me warm at night
'Cause I'm a dreamer
I'm still hung up on a dream
Though I haven't pinned it down
I'm still trying to grasp the meaning
So deal the cards out
Let 'em fall where they fall
Remember me
Should you need someone to call
If you get backed against the wall

POTTERY
It’s a crazy kind of rhythm, this rise and rush and go
You could spend your lifetime dreaming and still may never know
How the wheel turns
How the wheel turns
Laughing down the hillside, lost among the trees
If the spirits truly love us, why do they keep us on our knees
How the wheel turns
How the wheel turns
Constant as the stars that shine the path across the sea
Everything else changing, it’s an endless mystery
How the wheel turns
How the wheel turns

BETTER THAN ZERO
It’s better than zero
Something from nothin’
Better than zero:
So they say
“It’s Better than zero!”
Some guy was yellin’
Outta his window:
Send him away!
I asked for cash, they gave me fame
Went to the bank with my good name
It’s better than stick poked in the eye
Everywhere I see strange fingers in my pie
What could be better?
Running on empty
Take a vacation
Far far away!
Frying pan into the fire
Feeding flames, they’re getting’ higher
Count the chicks that didn’t hatch
Here you are with your eggs in the basket/eggs in the basket!/eggs in the basket!
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I’m countin’ the zeroes
Something from Nothin’
But zero + zero
Don’t add up

It’s mystifying
How we get on
Seems death defying
How I wander through your day
I breathe the same air as everybody else does
I traveled all the places where everybody else was
You say I’m dying
But I live on
It’s not for want of trying
I been to hell and gone
Your unkind remarks don’t matter to me
You think you can run but you’ll never be free
Chorus:
I am your own worst friend
I’m so unreal but let’s pretend
And I’ll be with you up until the end
You’ll have to make the best of it till then
There’s no denying You’re confused
And no amount of lying Will be of any use
And nothing you say Seems to get through I just turn around
Put it all back on you
Chorus:
I am your own worst friend
I’m so unreal but let’s pretend
And I’ll be with you up until the end You’ll have to make the best of it till then You’ll have to make the best of it till then
You’ll have to make the best of it till then

SI NO ME QUIERES
SI NO ME QUIERES
EL MUNDO SIGUE LLENDO
AUNQUE YO SE QUE NO LO ENTIENDO
SI NO ME QUIERES
NI POR UN DIA MAS
LA LUNA Y EL MAR VIVEN SIN TI
VOY CAMINANDO
BAJO LAS ESTRELLAS
EL MUNDO ESTRAÑO
VOY CAMINANDO
NO PUEDO PENSAR EN MAS QUE TI
COMO PUEDE SER
NO HAY RAZON
NO HAY RAZON
NO HAY RAZON
SI NO ME QUIERES
EL MUNDO SIGUE LLENDO
AUNQUE YO SE QUE NO LO ENTIENDO
SI NO ME QUIERES
NI POR UN DIA MAS
LA LUNA Y EL MAR VIVEN SIN TI
BAJO LAS ESTRELLAS
VOY CAMINANDO
EL MUNDO ESTRAÑO
PERDIDA SONANDO
ME SIENTO TAN SOLA AQUI
SI TODO FUE MENTIRA
ME DA DOLOR
ME DA DOLOR
SI NO ME QUIERES
EL MUNDO SIGUE LLENDO
AUNQUE YO SE QUE NO LO ENTIENDO
SI NO ME QUIERES
NI POR UN DIA MAS
LA LUNA Ni EL MAR PUEDEN SENTIR
QUE NADA ES IGUAL
QUE COMO DEBE ESTAR
ESTOY CON EL CORAZON
HOGADO EN EL MAR
AY…
SI NO ME QUIERES
AY….
SI NO ME QUIERES
AY...

DENIAL
Tell me it isn't so
I don't want to know
This can't be good news
When things are going well
You can never tell
What you are in for
What you don't know
Just might hurt you
What you don't see
Still might reach you
What will it be today
Trouble's on the way
It's always something
Maybe I'll stay inside
I just want to hide
'Til this is over
What you don't know
Just might hurt you
What you don't see
Still might reach you
Nothing that I can do
I don't have a clue
And I don't want to
I'll close my eyes and pray
That it goes away
I'll just do nothing
What you don't know
Just might hurt you
What you don't see
Still might reach you
