1. _ Hey, Hey
Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey...
Well I'm moving kinda slow
Down that same old, path
Wastin time inside this, hour glass
She's commin up ahead now and I feel
Yes I feel
My head turnin like a, race car wheel
Maybe I'll try, to say hi another time
I gotta find a way, to get inside your mind
I'll talk smooth, walk one step closer,
Be real cool, real cool, real cool, real cool...
Dang, real cool
Say what you want,
Say what you mean,
Question yourself, are you really what you seem
Say who you are,
Say what you mean
Question yourself, are you really what you dream
Now here I come one more time...
But she slides on by
Not even a second look
She took the bait
Right off that hook
I've got my blinders on tight
I pull my cap a little lower
I can't hide...hide...away...
You might think this is easy for me
But there's a lot of things
You don't know
You don't care
You don't want to see
Long while since I got myself across
but maybe there's a reason for that
Even if I caught you, I'd throw you back
Say what you want,
Say what you mean,
Question yourself, are you really what you seem
Say who you are,
Say what you mean
Question yourself, are you really what you dream
Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey...
Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey...
Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey yaya...
hey-yeah-yeah-hey...
Well I really don't want to fall, back
Cause you don't seem like you care
And if I would
Fall (back)... back...
You don't seem like you care
Fall down your back
Fall down your back
Fall down your back
(You don't seem like you care)
Fall down your back
I will not, I will not hold.....
Hold you back
(You don't seem like, you care)
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey...
Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey...

I went down to the drug store to check my head against the bright light but she caught me from behind and though I did not know and though I did not care I could not tell that I was blind to think my world a bubble and to think that my brother's was too and that she had come to shatter all that I knew so I straightened up my back and I cry do what you must do [CHORUS] take me now before I change my mind take me now before I lose my mind so I headed to the deep, deep forest to catch my earnings but my earnings were all up my brother looks up at the sky and says why have you poisoned my brother's cup and I say don't you worry boy cause the woman who came for me will surely show you your bliss for she holds the answers to all your fears she questions the apocalypse [CHORUS] more free lyrics |

6. _ Water Shop
When you dove,
Drunk with sleep in your eyes
You stole what was left of the sky,
I remember how you freed your hair,
Hung your head in a forgotten stare
And I thought...and I thought
when will the water stop,
will it pour all day?
I know that you can't say.
Turning to fall out of our lives,
Spinning picutres: blue screams and red kisses.
You sank into yourself and I got lost
Somewhere in between.
when will the water stop,
will it pour all day?
when will the water stop?
I know that you can't stay.
She is washed up on his shore,
There's no time to get into his life.

the river of doubt gave birth to a beautiful stone and in my hands I held it and I knew I was on my own so I picked it up and held it to the sky and in my reflection. I knew I was all alone then I saw this girl with the most beautiful hair she had it wrapped around her for clothes she did not wear I asked her for a lock and she complied, after leaving gorgeous footsteps in the sand as if she didn't care she was the prettiest girl I ever saw the stone lay still without a flaw the feelings I had defied the law as I came to, I went to and I took a look, a look down the road to see a badger and a one eyed toad they didn't say a word, they just looked at me with that wise old look of the old then I went to down to town to my favorite merry-go-round to the place where magic horses fly and you seldom see a frown [CHORUS] but then I stole a ring from the flying horses and I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses and it's all rusty now I stole a ring from the flying horses and I can't begin to explain how I stole a ring from the flying horses and it's all rusty now You see 'cause that stone fell through my pocket and that lock of hair flew away with the wind If you chance to meet upon either well you know where they've been but don't pick them up or try to find me they're much happier to be on their own beauty like that knows no home and then if you take a look, a look down the road you'll see a badger and a one eyed toad they won't say a workd they'll just look at you with that wise look of the old [CHORUS] more free lyrics |

15. _ Bridges (Strength In Numbers)
the furrowed bed of sand worries again
as it had before the waves left the land.
for the falling tide leaves a child weeping alone,
he's letting go of the anchor and all the lines...
waiting for the fingers of the grey wave
or his mother's hand to roll over him
with endless water... 10,000 bridges
show me father.
now I'm older, now much older
and this wave can take me out to sea.
I feel the pull beneath my feet.
But I can see her, she is calling me
I can feel her there...I can feel her there.
waiting for the fingers of the grey wave
or his mother's hand (mother's hand) to roll over him
with endless water... 10,000 bridges
show me father
waiting for the fingers of the grey wave
or his mother's hands (mother's hands)
to roll over him with endless water...10,000 bridges
show me a father (2x)
