Just 02:50
JUST Just when I thought I had reached the end Bring it back Bite me again Again Slowly down again Just when I thought I was over you Bring it back Bite me straight through Through What more can I do? So you want to get around? To get around So if you think You know what’s wrong with me Let it be just let it be Be Or I may bleed Just when I thought That it couldn’t get worse Bring it back Bite like a curse a curse Right back in the dirt So you want to get around? To get around

Roses 03:57
Will roses make it this time? Laid it on too thick on me last night Keep going over in my mind where I went wrong I keep on telling myself its where I belong But this time I am going away This time I mean to stay This time… Hey hey hey Rosie left me last night She had to find out what she’d left behind Inside out upsided down She took my heart and stomped it on the ground But this time I am going away This time I mean to stay This time… Hey hey hey Did you ever wake up on the wrong side of your bed? And did you think that it was in your head? Rosie pointed out that youd’d be better off dead Aim shoot and let it ride and let it all fall instead But this time I am going away This time I mean to stay This time… Hey hey hey

Indian Tune 04:50
Some days when the air is thick Hang on you like a second skin And things start moving all by themselves Like the time that I slapped you And again when you cried What do I just turn into? What do I turn into?

Air 03:48
Let go, let go When you wanna know Throw it down below Just let it go But the time is all you would find And there’s so much air up in the skies And I, I, I would die I would die But its so far back down there now Bad new bad news Everyone must choose Sift through the clues But you win and you lose But the time is all you would find And there’s so much air up in the skies And I, I, I would die, I would die But its so far back down there now Old man, mad man Wasn’t in the plan? And, take my hand A line in the sand But the time is all you would find And there’s so much air up in the skies And I, I, I would die, I would die But its so far back down there now

Caught in between The back and the front Ain’t no machines that’ll ever keep me from going I made up my mind One too many times Now I don’t even know what I am doing We were delivered From insanity But I’m trying now I don’t know Just don’t know Caught in between A dream and a lie Everything is dust and glass that’s cutting my eyes Cuz I made up my mind one too many times Now I don’t even know what I am doing We were delivered From insanity But I am trying now I don’t know Just don’t know
6.
Sunshine 03:49
Finding my way through I fell upon you Whoa, how deeply it winds I can’t believe that anyone would ever be So full of sunshine For twelve years now I’ve been wandering around Just wondering if I had ever found One look at you made me know my search was through You got me off the ground Once I was blind But you fell like the sunshine Woah you came so gently down Now I believe I never will ever be falling back down
7.
Let Me Down 04:31
Baby you know I can’t breathe up here But I’m just climbing higher to get clear And you know Sometimes you feel near Sometimes slip away light years And so Let me down slow Let me down slow And let it chip away below And you know I fell for your face It was just your heart that’s out of place Let it go The memories you sold Oh no seems like a long way down to Pima road Baby you know Oh no just let me go Let me go let me go let me go If its true Icy rivers came between me and you But if I could go back I’d carry you through Oh no better not go back And you cannot go back To try to change the things you never done like that I can’t let you go, no no I can’t let you go I can’t let you, let you, let you go.

Here I go again Falling deep into pools that I can’t swim You can’t come in But she threw me a line By letting me see the sun is shining in your eyes Well it just breaks my skies every time she goes by but somewhere back in my dreams formerly known as everything that I was trying to be well it just means to me is that I finally believe wait right here, wait right here wait for years, wait for years loud and clear, oh loud and clear wait for years, I’d wait for years But I wait so long Make me think I’m crazy Make me think that I was probably wrong What it just means to me is that I finally see but here I go again

Every day I learn I got the white man’s disease My ears never listen and my eyes never see Human suffering is just a plot on the tv screen Its just a simple thing that I was born into I eat everyday but I sleep the night through All I need is a pair of lover’s eyes to view I met up with a woman But she thought she was set free By keeping up with the times and reading a magazine She hired a Mexican girl to run her washing machine People say get a job that’s what you do Take the money that you have coming to you Don’t save yourself You can’t even tie your shoes. Tonight I sit in my empty room Hash out plans for a stunning future Gonna move some mountains Gonna find out what is true

Sirens 02:55
Well she’s firing it firing it firing it all up again And the sirens the sirens the sirens start sounding And the choir the choir the choir they all are chiming in When she’s firing it firing it firing it all up again Oh no I’m falling back Won’t you please let me get my life back I know The lions the lions the lions they all are howling And the timing the timing, the time is what I’m wondering And the staring the staring the staring it just starts up again When she’s firing it firing it firing it all up again Oh no I’m falling back Won’t you please let me get my life back I know Oh no I’m falling back Won’t you please let me get my life back I know

Mimi 03:09
Down and out Long bout Sheer misery Falling out Crash about Lost his knees She believe in him She believe in him So much life she shows still lying within him Driving out Cars crowd To cease and to leap Darkness now Stuck in clouds Bout out of sleep She push him now She show him how Never been farther than the line to fifteen feet And when she needs to go All those touched by her soul Find the will to roll She push him now She show him how Give them more than they could ever return again
