I ride the evenin' shift
don't lift an eye till noon
get out of bed with pain
shake of the lust and booze
Startin' out the week just right on a Monday
I catch the mornin' train
I watch the settin' moon
lose track of space and time
I feel a bit confused
Think that I'm doing just fine for a Tuesday
I got an awful taste
can't place the words to fit
it's at the tip of my tongue
must just be last nights fix
Hope that I'm doing alright for a Wednesday
Thursday is a blur, back to work then back to play
while Friday comes in free and long, begging you to stay
Saturday I wake up and wash the weight up off my eyes
and Sunday I just wonder how I haven't lost my mind
I am an unknown man
inside this unknown day
it's like a broken dream
half real and half delayed

Blue Stars
03:50

|
The stars are blue tonight
eyes wide peeled back just to get some light
can't lack the knowledge that I might be out my mind
two hours to tell, just two hours to tell
Down the street the party life
blows up like a wick waitin' to ignite
hope us kids don't lose touch with the fragile unplanned vibe
two hours to tell, just two hours to tell
to tell if I will roll on
to tell if I will roll on
to tell if I will roll
to tell if I will roll on
Don't go now cause I feel spun
the fun's just started and we can't stop till the clock is done
walkin' while I'm on the run, no
and I just hope that
two hours from now, woah woah two hours from now
I will roll on
hope that I will roll on
Oh I can't till if I'll roll on
No I can't tell if I'll roll on
One, two, three, four

Break From the Routine
03:17
|
|||
|
Always sittin' in the back of my head
is a man with a steadfast mind for doing somethin' foolish
and pretty soon he'll
break free from my grasp
I keep my calm whenever placed into a situation
where I might have to be crass
and do something stupid
like I know that I can
I'm in a vicious circle hurlin' towards disaster too fast
I've gotta mix it up before I find my head in my hands
There's nothin' better than a man out of his head
from sippin' whiskey out the bottle through a straw
my god that's stupid
think pretty he'll break free...no questions asked
I tend to keep my calm but lately
I've felt like a bomb
and now seems like the right time to blow
and do something foolish
like I know that I can
I'm in a vicious circle hurlin' towards disaster too fast
I've gotta mix it up before I find my head in my hands
I can't go on this way
I've got to break, break from the routine
before I break loose
and lose my cool
it's all clear to me
break from the routine
break from the routine
break from the routine
ah yeah!
and do something foolish like I know that I can

Somethin' Better
03:23
|
|||
|
I got a head rush
and no one seems to notice because everyone's on the same page
got that surreal touch
I've fall'n to an interesting place, I think the dog's out the cage
It's almost midnight
and think that I'm not quite myself but they all say I'm okay
they say "You're alright!"
the sun has given into the night so we don't think 'bout the day
Cause as of late, as of lately
I've been down, and stressed for days
but if I stay, if I stay this way
I will drown, so why not diffuse the pain
into somethin' better
t-t-take towards the bedroom
I'm stumblin' like a drunken monsoon but you just say that I'm sweet
I'm talkin' real loose
I'm just havin' some trouble with vowels and and consonants when I speak
She says "You're so fine!"
and I got no one current in mind to stop from making this play
I say "You're alright!"
probably 'bout a 4 or a 5 but girl tonight you're an 8
Cause as of late, as of lately
I've been down, and stressed for days
but if I stay, if I stay this way
I will drown, so why not diffuse the pain
Sometimes my head is just screamin'
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sometimes my head is on fire
Sometimes I just wanna make it stop
Oh I really need it to stop
Oh why won't you stop right now
Ah really need it to stop!

Eggo's and Stella
02:51
|
|||
|
I've been down
the same ol' road
for quite some time
I can't let it go
I wake up early
feelin' alright
at least that's what I keep tellin' myself
to keep a stable mind
and I can't see the way towards and open door
and I can't tell my face apart from the floor
10 o'clock eatin' eggo's and stella
I gotta wash down last night bad
blood stains on my shirt kicked in deep cause I
I couldn't stick to plan
but I wake up early
feelin' just fine
at least that's what I keep tellin' myself
at the end of the night
and I can't see the way towards and open door
and I can't tell my face apart from the floor

Man Inside my Head
02:57
|
|||
|
I want to see you know
to understand my ways
to slip into my soles
and see just what I see
the puzzle inside my head
stays carefully in tact
but when you pull at the threads
I find it hard to relax
and when I look for someone there
I'm at a loss
the more I look for someone there
the more I'm lost
I'd hate to see you go
to leave before I'm done
to be just what I always told you that you'd become
the man inside my head
was meant to be relaxed
but when you pull at his thread
I find it hard to sit back
and when I look for someone there
I'm at a loss
the more I look for someone there
the more I'm lost
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
The man inside my head
The man inside my head
The man's inside my head
The man's inside!

Chooch

Chooch
s'got the moves
got a plan
understand
I knew
what we'd do
have a smoke
pass a joke
Oh no the troops are here
put it out right now
Oh no the troops are here
put it out
Oh chooch
what do we do
this wasn't part of the plan
to have a talk with the man
Yeah chooch
I thought we'd nothing to lose
I've never felt such a rush
than riding 'round with us
Oh no the troops are here
put it out right now
Oh no the troops are here
put it out

Gatz
05:13
|

|
I've been thinkin'
lately 'bout the consequences of my dreamin'
cause I'm movin'
faster than the earth can spin, what am I doing
and I've been thinkin'
that I'll never quite wake up, I'll just keep sinkin'
lost with eyes shut
cause when I'm dreamin', all I can do is think of you
it drives me insane, feels like you've broken my brain
Oh, I'm sick of roamin'
walkin' this earth alone, where am I going
seems like I'm floatin' 'round like a ghost in sheets
but I'm no ghost yet
Now I'm just hoping
that I'll never quite wake up
I'll just keep coastin'
deep into my lust
cause when I wrote this
all I could do was think of you
it drove me insane, feels like you've broken my brain
I can't leave
leave this, leave this
I can't leave
leave this all behind
Leave this all behind

Troubled Man
13:38
|
|||
|
Now let's make no mistakes
a troubled man brings an infinite weight
but a bond broken has been known to be bad
and one more bad move might make this troubled man go mad
I'm gettin' sick of this tale
the one where I lose track and derail
oh troubled man, you're just, you're bringin' me down
one more word and my evil thoughts might come around
But oh, I hope you find you're way back to this world
I hope you find a ladder out your mind
It's been awhile since I've seen that troubled man around
He's probably off plottin' my impending doom
up in his room, with clues and blueprints
shattered bowls and empty minds fill the empty spaces
well I hope I don't have to see that troubled man again
around the bend, waitin' to show me what he's planned
well it might just be the flame to my rubberband brain and then
I'll be the troubled man in the end!
But oh, I hope you find you're way back to this world
I hope you find a ladder out your mind
But oh, I hope you find you're way back to this world
I hope you find a ladder out your mind

Big Picture
04:28
|
|||
|
You're getting to old man
when will you learn
to pick up the pieces
and put them all back together
You're vision is going
in more ways than one
you see the big picture
but the parts a larger than the sum
You fool, you benevolent swine
act on your instincts for just this one time
act on your instincts for just this one time
I'm more you than you might find
but act on your instincts for just this one time
act on your instincts for just this one time
I break the rules, yeah I don't play my part
right from the start I was born to live something hard
But you break the rules and it all falls apart
and leaves us to starve like dogs locked up in cars
When we travel we break
unravel our string of connection
and in less than a day we're unknown
like bastards in chains
got no one else to go to
they were all in the way
must be
must be
must be
oh woah, it must be
must be
must be
must be
