There Is No One 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Of all the people I’ve ever known No one comes close to you Of all the love I’ve ever felt There is nothing to compare it to I was ready to end it all But then you went and pulled me through There is no one There is no one There is no like you Of all the places I’ve ever been And the people, the people I have met Of all the journeys I have taken The ones I recall, the ones I forget You are my numero one You hit me like a megaton Of all the dreams I’ve ever dreamed I've never dreamed someone like you You're inside me like a wrecking ball And it feels absolutely true

Not Much Fun No More 04:08
lyrics
buy track
I was having me a good time Yeah things were pretty good I was writing for a sitcom I was living in Hollywood I hung out with Jeff Goldblum We played pool in his den I practiced meditation I was feeling pretty zen But it’s not much fun no more It’s not much fun no more I was having me a good time My portfolio was expanding I was looking smoking hot Some would say outstanding You could see me at the Grammys Had a bash with Kyle Jenner She kicked me in the balls And I screamed like a tenor I was having me a good time Yeah I was really kicking ass I was jumpin’ jack flash It was a gas, gas, gas I’d struck out on a vision quest I was never looking back The whole wide world opened up And I rode it like a maniac

Siren 04:09
lyrics
buy track
There is a sound coming in On a strange frequency I hear it screaming It is screaming to me It says, Who in hell do you think you are What’s that sound vibrating from that whammy bar It scrapes and squeals It ravages and peals It is ringing, it is roaring, it is hissing, it is buzzing Like a siren wails, like a siren wails There is a sound coming in On a strange frequency It cuts right through my skull Like a machete And lightning shoots out of my eyes Tossing diamonds across the skies It roars and screeches It stings and bleaches It is ringing, it is roaring, it is hissing, it is buzzing Like a siren wails, like a siren wails There is a sound coming in On a strange frequency It is static But it lights up like a marquee It shouts, You will never turn this down This will be the only sound It burns and screams It haunts all your dreams It is ringing, it is roaring, it is hissing, it is buzzing Like a siren wails, like a siren wails

Revolution of the Mind 04:36
lyrics
buy track
Turn on your mind Tense up And swim against the stream You are dying, you are dying Gather your thoughts And triumph over the void The sun is setting, the sun is setting Have yourself a revolution of the mind Lift yourself up beyond sky Have yourself a revolution of the mind Let yourself fly, let yourself fly You will likely never see the meaning of within There is no being, there is no being Who do you love, I said, who do you love No way of knowing, no way of knowing Or play the game existence to the end Of the beginning, of the beginning

Our Dance 05:19
lyrics
buy track
We done this dance since the beginning And in the beginning it served us well But now we're locked in an routine embrace And to me it feels like hell Who is leading and who is following Well I can't tell anymore Just wanna wrench myself away And move to another part of the dance floor This is our last tango We got a tired old groove This is our last tango It's time to move, time to move This is our last tango I swear, I swear Wanna find another partner And start a whole new affair Cha-cha-cha I guess you must love this dance We do it every single day But me I can't seem to get in sync no more Don't wanna sashay down old Broadway These steps they feel so tired to me Why don't you feel that way too Why don't you feel trapped like me Don't you wanna try something altogether new We could do the rumba, we could do the jive We could the merengue Anything else would feel more alive When was the last time you looked at me And when did I last see you We're standing here side by side But we are more than slightly askew I feel like I am suffocating Can't seem to catch my breath But we can keep on with the same old same old It's a slow dance to our death We could do a quickstep, we could do a quadrille We could do a polka for chrissakes I'd do anything just to feel

From That Moment On 03:54
lyrics
buy track
You turned on a light And suddenly I could see All the love I'd been missing The love denied to me It was then I came alive It was then you opened the door It was then I breathed my first breath From that moment on And forever more Woke me up from my slumber Wiped the sleep from my eyes Said, It's time to go my love Just a word to the wise I had lived so stupidly I had hurt and I had been cruel I had lived so thoughtlessly I had lived like a fool But then you came along And you sent me back to school Love to watch your hands Love how they swim in the air Love the sound of your voice Lifts me from my despair You turned on a light And suddenly I was wide awake You showed me my heart And how easily it could break

Danger, Will Robinson! 04:39
lyrics
buy track
Wish I had my own robot He could be my trusted friend He could keep me out of trouble He could warn me what's around the bend He could offer me protection From all the monsters and the aliens He could ward me off the Doctor Smiths 'Cause he can see through their phony grins He could be my mentor The dad I never had Read me stories until late in the night I would never be so sad, no Danger, Will Robinson! Wish I had my own robot With a beat-box voice and some blinking lights He'd shoot lasers out of his arms He could intercede in all my fights He could cook me my breakfast Sort my laundry and drive my van He could wait on me hand and claw He could be my very own mechanical man He could make me laugh when I am down I could have total control He could love me as a I am And I could love him down in his robot soul

Forgive Me 04:24

I made you hurt I broke your heart I turned you inside out But here I am A brand new me Making a turnabout Won't you forgive me Please forgive me It's all I ask of you Won't you forgive me Please forgive me Hence and hitherto I been dumb Wrecked our deal I am a big old jerk Can you let it go Just a little How else can we make it work All I ask is mercy All I ask is you be kind I know it's a big ask You'd have to be out of your mind I been rotten I lied and cheated And I broke your heart What can I say Ain't no excuses Can we make a brand new start

Never Gave It a Thought 04:18
lyrics

How did I get here Never much thought about it Where am I going Never much thought about it Why do I do what I do Never much thought about it What does it all mean Never much thought about it Never much thought about it Never gave it a thought Why do I believe in God Never much thought about it Why do I eat steak Never much thought about it Why do I love who I love Never much thought about it Why do I wear these shoes Never much thought about it Is there something that I missed All the girls I never kissed All the promises unrealized Is there a thought I never had Am I good or am I bad A life unanalyzed Why am I so angry Never much thought about it Why do I hate what I hate Never much thought about it Why can't I see what's coming Never much thought about it Why do I do what I do

Change Your Life 05:44
lyrics
buy track
Didn’t know nothing when I was young But that would change in time I came to understand this not through wisdom But by reaching for a higher clime Here there is no one that does no see you You must change your life Bask in the divinity of broken beauty You must change your life Glow like a lamp Burst like a star Rise up to the blue sky blue Beauty and terror Just keep going Let everything happen to you Lift yourself up beyond sky Let yourself fly It’s a revolution of the mind Let yourself fly Didn’t know nothing when I was young ‘Cause not much had happened yet And that what was going on in the underneath Would pose an existential threat Have this love for what is humble You must change your life Win the confidence of what seems poor You must change your life Didn’t know nothing when I was young But, hey, that’s really just an excuse I preferred the comfort of my gauzy oblivion To my real-time world of abuse Find the reasons that compel you You must change your life Become the witness to your own impulse You must change your life

Sleep Well 04:09
lyrics

I'm so tired I haven't slept a wink I'm so tired My mind is on the blink I wonder should I get up And fix myself a drink Sleep well, sleep well I'm so tired I don't know what to do I'm so tired My mind is set on you I wonder should I call you But I know what you would do Sleep well, sleep well I'm so tired I'm feeling so upset Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette And curse Sir Walter Raleigh He was such a stupid git Sleep well, sleep well
