Get Up

Get Up
Marching Band
Out of my mind
Easychair
So Bold
Doctor
Take us Away
In the City (Rail)
When you were young




Get Up

Get up, I know you’ll find a way
head up, look through those clouds of gray
i know, it’s been a long long time
since you, had some peace of mind

time is all you need to make amends
you are all that matters to me in the end

My head is full of all kinds of sound
Its better when you come around
my love is waiting there for me
I hope to see what she can see

Days around my head they start to spin
Only good things Matter in the end

Keep me from falling to the ground
Some things are better when they're found
These days seem to make you spin
They go by, please remember them


Marching Band

well i used to be in a marching band
Got out of school i made a new plan
then I had a friend who was from minnesota
they moved down south to a place in pensacola
so i moved away into the middle of the state
i set up camp and made a new place

i taught myself how to get by
i worked odd jobs and made a couple dollars
I stared at wall, then i looked outside
took a long breath until didn’t hide
I started to walk , it began to rain
I was running along to catch that trai-a-n

I used to listen to the Beatles and the stones,
Then I found some bands like the move and the ramones
we made some friends who’d we met in the city
we lost a few but you know you have carry along

I always go back to sitting in a room
Strumming to myself and working on a new tune



Out of my mind

everybody get by
don't you know i'll
keep my eye on you

i don't know why
...gonna find out
but i don't have a clue

don't let them in
in a foreign town, they'll walk, walk over you

hope you get back
try to keep from falling, falling apart

oh, oh

down on your part
i hope i
can make it past my age

where can i start
to make better
before it's too late

i’ll take my time
you know i’ll need it
to keep my mind at ease

I don’t know how
i’m gonna make it
make with my disease      

oh, oh

i've been out of my head
for a long long time

i'm over here
keep from breaking my mind
(bridge)

and when i come down
I’ll make sure I bring the weather
I’ll keep you close.. to my heart

i’m making my way
to a place under the ocean

i’ll have my friends
to give me some air



Easychair

Time is an easy chair
some days go by and you’re not aware
i hope you find what you’re looking for
may life bring thousands of smiles



So Bold

My freaking brain is going down the gutter
i'm trying to spit it out but why does it bother

marble flakes of frozen holiday cake
keeps me staying up so very late

feeling so cold
skin is dry
feels so bold
when she comes to pry

it's ten o’clock in the day
and i feel much better
something always brings you down and makes you wonder

feels so cold
skin is dry
feels so bold
When she comes to pry
coming down
with your pride
feels so bold
when she comes to pry

bridge

it's ten o’clock in the day and I feel much better
something always brings you down and makes you wonder


Doctor

he was going to the doctor
been trying to make some time
didn’t know what he’d gonna find on the other side
then he’d left in her direction
a force began to take his weary mind

So he pulled into the station
and walked on off the train,
A shade of Green began to fill the moon-lit sky
he was taking his own time
said the conductor looked like an old friend of mine

All the Sailors come and go,
In this town on the east coast
they leave a lot of lovers
but they don’t forget the the time they had
My Father was one of them
and my mother she worked just to keep him in

she’s in need of a new friend
someone who would let her in
and was going under pressure, but didn’t know what she gonna find
he was taken by her eyes
and the north wind blowing down from the coastline

They found their pot of gold
in their lover’s broken soul
digs all he can until the seeds come flying away

he won’t hurt her heart again
until the gray-blue skies open and let him in




Take us Away

i don’t know what you’re gonna be
don’t what I’m gonna see
all i know is i hope you’ll take it from me

walk around the same old town
i see your head is down and bound
don’t you see the clouds moving along

pre-chorus
don’t know what we’re gonna find
give me love give me cheap wine
in the end love will take us away

...oh oh oooh

there’s no right, and there’s no wrong
keep it fast and keep it strong
i can see the moon light up your eyes

lets lay on down turn out the light
sit and talk throughout the night
let the morning come to move us along

don’t know what we’re gonna find
give me love give me cheap wine
in the end love will take us away

...oh oh oooh

mull it on over
i know you find a way
think it on over
good thing will come your way




In the City (Rail)

You're always walking all around in the city
All the head are turnin round cause you're pretty
lookin for a fun time
Always in sunshine
Waiting on the corner, at the stop for the CTA

All the days are ending up all right
you're going out on a saturday night
You're searching for the right time always in the night time
listening to the sounds of the people on the radio

And the feeling isn't gone but you know that your strong
feeling all around and you that you cant go on

don’t let your life get driven by fear
You want to leave but then you're already here
Always under pressure
Then you try to measure
All the things you want but you're never very clear

And feeling isn't gone but you know that you're strong
feeling all around and you that you can't go wrong
And feeling isn't gone but you know that you're strong
feeling all around and you that you can't go wrong

And the midnight is coming your way
all the reasons why you wanted stay
There's nothing like the right time
searching for the redline
listening to the people and the sounds of some might say

And feeling isn't gone but you know that you're strong
feeling all around and you that you can't go wrong
And feeling isn't gone but you know that you're strong
feeling all around and you that you can't go wrong




To the Moon

you break you fall
you’re coming down
you don’t know how to do it now
Your thoughts begin to lose control somehow

you pick yourself up off the ground
Don't move too fast don't make a sound
You're eyes can't hide the lies.. they can see

saturdays will make you spin
when sundays gone, they’ll do you in
and holidays seem to come so slow

and when you make the same mistake
Don't give them more than you can take
all things will pass all things will come your way


I don’t know the reasons why
they’ll keep it up and tell you lies
I wish there was something you could do

And when they come along the way
You'll surely need to come and stay
I would love to take you to the moon

-- solo

And Satellites, they look at you
across the sky around the moon
there’s firefiles that light up your pathway


don’t think too much how bad it can feel
it won’t take long for you to heal
Your mind makes up stories inside your head

I don’t know the reasons why
they’ll keep it up and tell you lies



When you were young

When you were young
there’s something inside of you
When you were young
There’s nothing that you can’t do

keep me awake
keep me from falling back down
I hope you'll still, give it to me

some days are long
sometimes you’re hide and seeking now
And when they're gone
You hope you can get through somehow

i hope you will
keep me from falling back down
I hope you’ll still, give it to me.
i hope you’ll still, give it to me.

Make Up

I've  been talking about, and then words came in and hit me
you've been running around with a glare building inside
You know that you've got me wrong,  you know you took it wrong

do you recall all those years of holding you tight
there's no other way get through the lonely night
no ones gonna make you fall, the way you made me fall

chorus

You know there's a reason why I always lose control
the thought of you going away is too much to take a hold
I'm never gonna bring you down, the way that you brought me down

I've gotten to know you, a long long time ago
I carry a picture of you in a place too hard to hold
no one is gonna make you smile the way I make you smile

chorus

well I know I'm wrong, and I guess you're right,
gonna put your head against the wheel and hold you tight

well I know I'm wrong, and I guess you're right,
gonna put your head against the wheel and hold you tight

well I know I'm wrong, and I guess you're right,
gonna put your head against the wheel and hold you tight

Broken Foot

i was getting wrong
you were getting right
i was making time
for you to go your own way

you better act your age
hope you see the light
and i know in time
you're gonna get there honey

gonna make a stand
in the mackinaw falls
and i don't know how you
and I've got my age and a wicked mind
and you might be there

i wasn't looking for fate
and on occasion i know that days are gonna get there finally

i've been around my head, gonna do the dead
and i know my mind will open up so slightly

I was making plans for the people now
and i know that time will find me
hope to get my head
out of broken walls
I hope you'd be there

i will bring you down with a wicked mind
and i know that you don't need it
I will give you style, I will give you grace
I know the reasons that you face

I will make you run, you will come undone
I will keep my full agreement
I will make you run...
(solo)
you'd rather run than to go my way
I'll get around, I'll get around
If you get out then i'll go my way




Tinyhearts

I was dreaming on the night before
A breeze was blowing through the bedroom door
The lights were out and the bells began to sound.


I started walking through the falling rain
Tried to run but couldn't get a way
My eyes were heavy as i worked to leave my rest.


La la la


The storm had passed as the night turned clear
Shades of blue starlit atmosphere
i will not go, i will go without a fight



Then I flew up in to the air
Caught a rope and climbed without a care
I awoke and saw you laying by my side


Tiny hearts the work so hard just to get on through
And when they do you won’t regret what they do to you




Tonight

I’ve been around I’ve never seen you before
you got the sign hanging out your door
any minute now I'll see it in your eyes tonight

no one can tell me about the way i feel
I've got eyes of Sutton steel
don’t give me promises that you’ll never keep tonight

I don’t know the reasons why
baby it’s no big surprise
I feel it all around tonight

my heads been making it’s way to the ground
ears are covered and i don’t hear a sound
I hope you have a way to help me against the tide

There isn’t any place that I can go
I have a feeling that I’m ready to show
I can see it in your eyes in the middle of the night

I don’t know the reasons why
baby it’s no big surprise
I feel all around tonight

don’t get me wrong, don’t get uptight
I’ll keep it going just to make it right
I’ll have to carry it along, I’ll carry it along

I don’t know the reasons why
baby it’s no big surprise
you’re coming more around my way
you feel it, you feel it today
I don’t know the reasons why...

tonight
tonight
tonight



The Shore

Out of bed in the morning light
The sun is rising closing out the night
Off the coast making our way out of the harbor

The land is shrinking there’s mist in my face
the course is smooth with a steady pace
Leaning back with the wind with all of your might

CHORUS
I never knew where we could go
until we left from the shore
oh oh oh

there's a port a thousand miles away
hope to make it in 2 or 3 days
raise the jib pull the boom, to give it more speed

looking up til moon beams find ya
i had enough of the busy life ya
no need to think about keeping myself in my head

I never knew where we could go
until we left from the shore
oh oh oh
oh oh oh

(breakdown)

(guitar solo)

we follow stars in the darkened sky
‘cause i know they’ll get us by
soon enough we’ll be on our own
we’ll be on our own
we’ll be on our own
we’ll be on our own


Dakota

Verse
You’re feeling trapped here
Lost the fight
You’re burning out dear
In the city lights
I think it’s time now
To take what’s left and go

Get on the road
Clear your head
The scene behind you
All but dead
It’s time to watch those
Violet skies fade in the light

Chorus
You know the sun’s in the sky
Feelin’ is right
Your heart’s washing out in the tide

It’s time to make up your mind
Leave it behind
Time to get off of the ride

Already know
You’ve gotta go

Verse
No looking back now
Go where the sky is clear
Far from the clubs you
Wasted all those years
Don’t even care ‘bout
What you leave behind

You’ve got a lot still
They didn’t take
Get in the car dear
Make a break
Get on and go now
I know you’ve had your fill


MTH

you've got a way to make things happen
you've got a way to make things change

and i'm living up in the world
cause i can't get through
and i'm giving up all the things
that i'd used to do

you've got a way to make things happen
you've got a way to make things change

and i don't care about the way
it makes you feel inside
and there's nowhere i'd rather be
just to be with you

all of the world can make you feel down
i've got a plan to change it all

and i'm living up in the world
you know i think of you
and there's nowhere i'd rather be
just to be with you



There’s sunlight shining everywhere the heat is burning thin
my lips are cracked and drying up, its how its always been
i feel you move around the room but cannot hear a sound
I’ll aways be here waiting for your heart to let me in

your eyes are made of silver clouds, they tell me where to go
and you will find me waiting there, when love’s too hard to show

Josephine

I was walking to the record shop
I’m on my way
You had gone so far away

I was heading out, I was settlin’ down
to keep myself from a parted way, got eyes around my head

(chorus)
oh josephine, oh lonely me
you’ were  talkin in your sleep, I’ve been listening while you weep
and i don’t know, where else you could go
you’re looking all around, you could come into my town

there is nothing else you could ever say
I was sittin here in clouds of grey

you were talkin on the telephone
listening to your grandmother.. in the... night alone

oh josephine, you’re in my dreams
your ghost is never clear, i’d hope you’d stay right here
and I don’t know, where else you could go
you want to go away, but i need you to stay right here

(bridge)
and talk with me,
and talk with me,
and talk with me,
and talk with me

the moon was shining above the balcony
oh can’t you see, what you did to me

I was listening to your song last night
well it gave me sight, to know your eyes

(Outro)
josephine
oh josephine
oh josephine
know what you mean

Heart of Hearts

Across my mind

I've been listening around all the people in town,
you're coming up, you give it away
you don't know I'm wrong
but you feel so strongly about the way that it's going today

you are floating on the top of a powdered sound
keeping all the ghosts away

I will find the scorn of a lion's den
so you'll have a safe parade

you don't know my heart
is falling apart
breaking through all of the pressure
you don't know my way, it's going today
going around
going across my mind

and then when you sleep
you've got your head in the clouds
all your thoughts are flying around

and then when you rise
you know those lies
have already took your crown

You don't know my heart
is falling apart
breaking through all of the pressure
you don't know my way, it's going today
going around
going across my mind

got a feeling that you know you're gonna start
to take all the demons away,
you break my heart, it's fallen apart,
always under pressure the same everyday
feeding all your doubts until they slip away


Back in Town

I'm happy to know
you get what you please
don't let yourself down with the new disease
all the shakers are calling since the night that you came
to come by now , to come by now

You always listen to people,
who put you to shame
don't let them get you down about your golden name
is it worth it to know
you have something to show
and you're back now, yes you're back now

chorus
letting it go is the hardest part
you feel shut down, you don't get far
all the nights are keeping you down from the day of your calling

Please be aware of the people who stare
their care is product of the jealous kind
remember the night gets brighter everytime that you go by
when you pass by

the feeling you know of when you're alone
can get the best of you and you're fallin heart
just put it together and feel that you never
been down, ever been down


chorus
letting it go is the hardest part
you feel shut down you dont get far
all the nights are keeping you down from the day of your calling

and when you get back to the very start
the crooked days have played their part
all your friends are keeping your mind those days of crashing

Days Gone By

I've been around this place before
It looks the same as i thought it would
and my mind is getting clear
the more i leave days gone by
don't let the sun burn your scars
remember where you come from
you did the best that you could
you put a smile on everyone
everyone, ba da, ba da, ba da

someone's gonna need a shoulder
might even need a hand
everyone is getting older
don't make any sound
you'll come around
get off the bus and you cause no fuss

I looked into the eyes of a fool
Learned all I need to know
he had the love of a mother's heart
and the strength of a father's soul
don't let it go, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh



Falling
You make sure,
you come round

You'll get by,
all the more you
Don't break down

the faster
that you go
will make things
better and you'll know

with your sight
and knowledge
keeps waiting on courage
You Fall down,
You Fall on Down

And waking can get hard
but sleeping seems to be the hardest part
don't let your.. emotions
take pieces, from your stolen heart

Fight fire, with heat girl
Emotion with sleep.. ya
You Fall down,
You Fall on Down


Who's gonna make you fall for the first time
Who's gonna break your heart for the last time
for the last time
for the last time



Information

I've got some information coming down the wire
I told you about my heartI told you about my heart

Never let me down, to the place I go
the place I've found, the place you don't know
you've got to let it go

I don't know my heart, from the bottom my skin
going up in ways, and i know it will begin
feel it in my head, flowing in my brain
knowing all the ways, you'll never feel ashamed

Chorus
Feel it in my head, Feel it in my heart
Going up in time and I know you're coming round
calling all your thoughts, in the place I've gone
don't keep it all inside, you know i'll be around
I'll always be around

I don't know the world, that gets you through your low
going up in days and I know you lose control
I don't know the ways, don't know the part
moving up in ways and i know you'll get your start

Chorus
Feel it in my head, Feel it in my heart
Going up in time, and I know you've got your start
Feel it all around, in the place I've gone
don't keep it all inside,  you know I'll be around

Feel it in my head, Feel it in my heart
going up in time and I know you've got your start
feeling all around in places you've gone
don't keep it all inside, you know I'll be around
feel it in my heart... repeat

feel it in my...
you feel it in my heart
feel it in my heart
you feel it in my heart
feel it in my heart



Satellite Song

I believe the worlds ending on a sunday
I don't have the words or the plans that they convey
don't get me wrong
it's a satellite song
i don't have the means
to let them run away

Feeling all the days I thought that I would know
leaving all the worlds I know have lost control

keep my back aligned I know you won't regret
all the stars align when you get over it over it

theres so much in the air that you know you can't see
I don't have the heart to help you get over me
don't get me wrong
it's a satellite song
i don't have the means
to let them run away

Feeling all the days I thought that I would know
leaving all the worlds I know have lost control
keep my back aligned I know you won't regret
all the stars align when you get over it over it



Luck

You've been round my head
but you have got me wrong
don't you give me grief
please don't tell me what you think

I have made my plans around these offerings
tell me how you feel
been going through since you've been thinking

with a little luck
it won't bring you down
won't steal your heart
won't break your crown

Someone told me long ago
that you would be
something more than i could touch
something you could not give up

I have made my plans acordingly to them
don't you give me up
don't you know that time is calling

with a little luck
it won't bring you down
won't steal your heart
won't break your crown

Big Coat

Hide in a place you know that no one ever goes
keep in a sack in which it always stays closed
I need a knack for keeping out of trouble
you know how it can go

i don't know what I'm like but everybody says
you're not the kind that gets out of your head
i keep talking all these crazy clumsy words
and i know that I've been heard

everybody's talking about the situation
you know they all have a lot to learn
always digging up some information
you get what you deserve

now i have some shoes and a big coat
have a car and a nice girl too
drive around and get my blood flowin
keepin it in for a later tune



Travelin' On

I was traveling on,
the wind was fast and
her eyes were cold.

can you get me there,
can you get me fast
I have miles to go.

(instrument)

I was making plans
I was giving demands
with an air assault

And I had be down
now I'm heading up
I have friends I know

(instrument)

Can you hear the sounds
of dad's eight track stereo?
Never the had the chance to thank him I had to go.
Had my mind set up on a girl who took my soul.

Sometimes you got to get there,
sometimes you don't know where you're gonna go.


Secret Law

you never try to get in with the secret law
your walking tall, two feet small

there's stars going up inside your head.
you see the dead there deep in bed

you're fallin apart inside your brain
you feel insane, a wicked game on you.

it's harder now to feel shut up
you feel set up buttercup

i'm never gonna try to confuse you, bruise on you or refuse you
the stars are shining in the big black sky dynamite, fireflies on you.

you take me on to the way that i love to love
you bring it on, wish i didn't have to make you run
living life as one

The world is always going through my head
thats what she said we went to bed,
my mind is dumb and my heart is stuck,
with such luck i'll keep it up

and i don't know what to do or say..
it's just that way, it'll be okay on you

I'm going to the other side, the great divide, the strange collide
i'll come on back like did before, you can't ignore the time before.
The way that i get broken up, all flushed up all stuck-up on you.

you take me on to the way that i love to love
you bring it on, wish i didn't have to make you run
living life as one



Feel Me

you love me
you need me
All the stars in the sky are gonna kill me.

you feel it
you know it
all the worlds gonna see what you do to me

(chorus)

you crush me
you fool me
all moons and the suns are gonna fall down

the pressure,
the movement
all waves in the sea are gonna fill me
Don't need it

i swim in waters hot and cold i don't feel it
i walk on trails some have nails i don't see it
you walk on by and fill my eyes,
you know how much time can fly,
can't you feel, can't you feel it, can't you feel it.
don't ask me questions i don't know, i don't need it
I have habbit of being bold, you don't need it
come grab me now, i have a plan you can always make a stand
can't you feel it, can't feel it can't feel it
you're looking for someone's shoulder
there is no question
I'm living the only way that i know how
I'm living as far as I can go
it took many years for me to grow, can't believe it
hope the wisdom might take a hold, cause i need it
come grab me now, i have a plan you can always make a stand
can't you feel it, can't feel it can't feel it
you're looking for someone's shoulder
there is no question
I'm living the only way that i know how
nobody can keep you down girl
there is no pressure
i'm callin, i'm callin
i'm callin for you to go my way now


Notion

I've got a notion
as big as an ocean
you never know where you've been
until you're already gone
you don't know where i've been
i've been living in sin
you never know how to live
until you already grown
(chorus)
It's coming in now
gonna give you my heart
gonna give it all away to you
i'm coming in strong
and I don't know
don't know where it goes
and all of the memories
of when you were younger
keep filling your head
they have nowhere else to go
then there was the sunlight
that gave all of your might
keeps burning away
All the thoughts in your mind



Dragon Cigarette
Was an autumn day
your pulling me way
like a dragon cigarette
taking every final cent
you tell me all I want
you wish for all they want
mom keeps it to herself
on top of every shelf
you've got to scream and shout
she lets it all hang out
i told them all before
you made me kiss the floor
and everything I knew
keeps coming back to you
as far as I could see
you know that where I'd be
in your eternity
And when you shout it out
don't let it all hang out
you feel in your skin
don't know where it's been
you feel it in your side
stealing all your pride
to know what you are missing
you break instead of breathing
and everything I knew
keeps coming back to you
and everything you see
you know that where you'd be
in your eternity


Whirl
time tries to get away from you
all the things that you used to do
getting further from you
days going in and out of your mind
happens mostly all of the time
going in and out of your mind
I'm giving all of my world
to a girl that makes you whirl
I'm giving all of my world
I'm giving all of my world
to a girl that makes you whirl
to a girl that makes you
Time tries to make a fool of you
all the things that you need to do
is getting further away from you
nights thinking of what you left behind
goes in and out of your mind
happens mostly all of the time
(repeat chorus)


Summercity
it's your last train you're insane you try and take it easy
all the signs in the road pointing in your face
hip hop, try to stop make your place anyway
pick your head up, it's summer in the city
well your grey blue eyes are made of steel
making new signs of how you feel
all days are getting even better
can you feel the air of the summer in the city
Can you hear what she says when you know that your feeling down
Can you hear what she says when you know when you can't get found
Can you feel as she does when you know when you hear no sound
can you hear what she does when you feel her come around
I was looking at a shadow of myself on the wall
Never recognized that I'd ever try and ever recall
turn around, bring it down again
turn the light on like the summer in the city
you know that where you'd be
in your eternity
