In My Own Time
04:36
|

I will let go
When I let go
In my own way
In my own way
And I will decide
Which path I choose
No one else will have a say
No way
I will set myself free
Be what I want to be
In my own time
In my own time
I will finally make my stand
I will find my promised land
In my own time
In my own time
I will move on
When I move on
In that way that I can
That way that I can
And I will define
The meaning of my life
I’ll be my own helmsman
My own helmsman
This is how it's going to be
Listen to me, listen to me
I will light out
When I light out
Into a new territory
A new territory
I will think it through
To the brutal end
Then I will write the story
Write the story

What Hurts the Most
04:17
|
|||
Can’t believe you let me go
Didn’t see it coming
Shows you what I know
Didn’t have a clue, no
I didn’t suspect
I was unprepared
But now I’m wrecked
What hurts the most
Is not the way you took to wing
What hurts the most
Is every single fucking thing
That’s what hurts
That’s what hurts the most
Can’t believe you left me flat
Gave me no warning
No caveat
Did it all so suddenly
Didn’t say see ya
Did it boom, one, two, three
That’s what hurts down to the marrow
Down, down to the marrow
It shoots right through me like an arrow
Like a poison arrow
Can't believe we're over and done
When I wake tomorrow
There won't be no sun
Got no reason to go on
Gonna stay in bed
With the curtains drawn

Hey Amy
04:42
|

Hey Amy, sweet Amy
I so want you to know
I still think of you
Though it was long, long ago
You lived in a duplex way out in Echo Park
With cracks on the walls like a punctuation mark
Oh Amy, sweet Amy
You’re still here in my heart
You’ve never gone away
Though we are far, far apart
Hey Amy, sweet Amy
With your black and white TV
The signal was no good so we could barely even see
Was it Maltese Falcon, was it Casablanca
Was it Citizen Kane or was it Willie Wonka
Oh Amy, sweet Amy
You're still here on my mind
Don’t think I will ever get
Why you left me far behind
Oh Amy, dear Amy
You came from Kankakee
Oh Amy, dear Amy
So fair and so carefree
Hey Amy, sweet Amy
You got your own sitcom
It was Welcome Back Kotter
And it was all the bomb
But when it got canned
You seemed to disappear
However you wound up
It was a bummer I fear
Oh Amy, dear Amy
I loved you the utmost
Oh Amy, dear Amy
Why’d you vanish like a ghost

Upon Closer Inspection
05:15
|
|||
How many of us think we know who we are
C'mon let's see a show of hands
And how many of us think others know who we are
Or that someone even barely understands
Things aren't quite what they seem
On closer inspection
What if it turns out to be just a dream
On closer inspection
Don't be so smug and don't be so cocky
You don't have all the solutions
People aren't so neat and tidy
They're all a bunch of convolutions
You know what I think
I think we're all more than a little bit nuts
No matter how you try to square it
It winds up bleeding blood and guts
How many of us think we know who we are
And just what the hell we are doing
We think we got all the time in the world
But it all ends while we are stewing

Trouble Boy
04:00
|
|||
No good for nothing
That’s what they say
Never much liked him anyway
‘Caused a lot of grief
‘Caused a lot of woe
What became of him who’s to know
Nothing but trouble
This trouble boy
This trouble boy
Trouble boy
Nothing but trouble
This trouble boy
This trouble boy
Trouble boy
He wasn’t too bright
No he hadn’t a clue
Couldn’t put two and two together
What was his struggle
What was his function
Why was he unhinged from his tether
They say he was crazy
More than a little unhinged
Like a picture in a crooked frame
Who can recall
The color of his eyes
And what exactly was his name

The Gathering
05:32
|
|||
They all gather together
All the kith and kin
Except for weird old Uncle Larry
Somehow he just don't fit in
He is the black sheep
He is the odd duck
He sits over there in the corner
Looking like he don't give a fuck
At the gathering, it's the gathering
The stilted motions they all go through
At the gathering, the family gathering
Hi, hello, how do you do
They all sit in their places
With grandpa up at the head
He carves right through that turkey
Man that bird sure looks dead
As for weird old Uncle Larry
He is high as a kite
He grabs the turkey leg
And he gives it a fierce bite
They all come together
At this time of year
They laugh and they fight
And they drink a lot of beer
They watch the game
And they conk out on the couch
They eat too much
Yeah they debouch
This is their way
This is what they do
This is what they love
This is what they go through
And weird old Uncle Larry
He is such a pain in the ass
Him and his crazy ideas
Always smoking grass

Undertow
04:27
|

What’s that feeling
What’s that feeling coming up from underneath
It’s a sucking feeling
It’s a sickly sensation
That makes me gnash my teeth
Oh no, oh no
It’s coming after me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It’s got the sting of a stingaree
Pull me down, down, down, down
Down I go
Pull me down, down, down, down
Down with the undertow
What’s that sound
What’s that sound that’s off in the distance
It’s getting closer
Getting way too near
On the path of least resistance
Oh no, oh no
It’s massive as a tidal wave
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Gonna drive me to an early grave
Won't through me a life buoy
So I can stay afloat
Won't through me a life buoy
Save from this leaky boat
What's that water
What's that water flooding right though my home
Got to run
Got to hide
Down in the catacomb
Oh no, oh no
It’s taking over my town
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I think I may drown

Peace of Mind
05:49
|
|||
Romantic love well it don’t exist at all
It's just a delusion to give you hope
‘Cause life with no hope can crush the soul
In a way you cannot cope
Peace of mind, peace of mind
How perfect that would be
Peace of mind, peace of mind
Peace of mind would set me free
Who among us has ever felt real love
I mean the kind of love you find in dreams
'Cause once you pull on a tiny thread
It all comes apart at the seams
I don't think I've ever met anyone
Who is truly happy with their mate
Yeah maybe it all began as love
But by the end it wound up hate

If I told you that I loved you
Would you get what you wanted
Would you finally be satisfied
Would it make you happy
Would you feel fulfilled
Even if you knew that I had lied
If I told you that I loved you
If I told you that I loved you
If I told you that you'e sexy
Would it turn you on
Would you feel much more like a man
Would your penis look bigger
Would your muscles get stronger
Would look all lean and tan
If I told you that I loved you
If I told you that I loved you
If I told that you're funny
Would it boost your ego
Would you be the cock of the walk
Would you see in you
What you want to see in me
And if you did would it be a shock
If I told you that I loved you
If I told you that I loved you

Kill This Feeling
03:48
|
|||
Every day I have to live with this
As unpleasant as it is
And by unpleasant I mean I feel downright sick
All the branches of me lean
Like thickets in a wild wind
A candle that's left with a dry and twisted wick
But here’s the funny part
Not all that funny one bit
If I could kill this feeling I would
And I'd do it with style and wit
Kill this, kill this, kill this feeling
Every day I gotta deal with this
As wicked as it is
And by wicked I mean downright depraved
It sets me spinning like a dervish
Atoms in a brackish soup
In which the story of the falconer is engraved
Every day I have take this on
As awful as it is
An by awful it means I just wanna end it
There's never resolution
Just a scene that fades to white
And there ain't no way for me to comprehend it
It's torture to be enemies with the one you love

Horizon
06:19
|
|||
The light creeps in
Illuminating
And I can feel my body rise
I am drawn
By unknown forces
And I am swimming
In a tea-warm pool
Under swampy skies
Somewhere out there
You will find me
Living out the life I was meant to live
Somewhere out there
Beyond the horizon
Passing by
Like dust through a sieve
I am unfolding
A pack of cards opening
Under a limitless sky
I am dissolving into the air
Wrote you a postcard
But never sent it
Had some things to get off my chest
It is futile to weep over the mind
It is enough to labor for it
I am living in Djemila
In a forest of stone
The wind is whipping at me
Like a mast

Closing Time
04:27
|
|||
The lights are getting dim
And soon it’ll be dark as pitch
Gotta say all my goodbyes
To that certain son of a bitch
So here I go, here I go
You know that you gave me hell
When you coulda given me a little lift
You knew just when to kick me
That was your special gift
Gotta love it, love it
It’s closing time
Gotta hit the switch on my way out
It’s closing time
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
It’s closing time
Gotta find me a brand new route
It’s closing time
T’ain’t no left here about
Feeling pretty tired, feeling absi-totally spent
Looking at the shit I once had
And I wonder where it went
Where did go, huh
Wish I wish I could take it all back
But I know that that's a delusion
What do I need to fix my head
Beyond a massive contusion
Hey go on ahead and do your deal
Me I'll just stay here and sweep the floors
Hey go on ahead and live your life
Me I'll just tidy up and shut the doors
I'm feeling pretty wasted but it's not me coming off drugs
It's every stinking little frickin' thing
Every stinking little frickin' thing bugs
Yeah shit bugs
I get the whole picture now
I can see my entire life with clarity
But the worst part of all
Was letting the worst get the best of me
Man, did it get the best of me
