Find yourself a girl, and settle down
Live a simple life, in a quiet town
Steady, as she goes
Steady, as she goes
So steady, that she goes
Your friends have shown a kink in the single life
You've had to much to think, now you need a wife
Steady, as she goes
So steady, that she goes
Well here we go again
You found yourself a friend
That knows you well
But no matter what you do
You always feel as though you tripped and fell
So steady, that she goes
When you have completed what you thought you had to do
And your blood's depleted to the point of stable glue
Then you'll get along
Then you'll get along
Steady, as she goes
So steady, that she goes
Well here we go again
You found yourself a friend
That knows you well
But no matter what you do
You always feel as though you tripped and fell
So steady, that she goes
Steady, that she goes
Settle for a world, neither up or down
Sell it to the crowd that has gathered around
Settle for a girl, neither up or down
Sell it to the crowd that has gathered around
So steady, that she goes
Steady, that she goes
Steady, that she goes
So steady, that she goes
Steady, that she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady, that she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady, that she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady, that she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady, that she goes
2. HANDS
Girl, you've got those hands, that heal
Help me get in touch with what I feel
Cause you understand and you sympathize
And you know me best, it's no surprise
When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song
And I know what to say
Girl, you've got those eyes, that see
Help me find the good that's inside me
Cause you're the only one who really know
How the feeling comes and why it goes
When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song
And I know what to say
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoho
When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song
And I know what to say
When you listen there's a hope
And I know I'm being heard
When you smile at me
And I know that we don't have to speak a word
When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song
And I know what to say
3. BROKEN BOY SOLDIER
I'm pulling down questions from the shelf
I'm asking forgiveness
I ain't asking nobody but myself
And I want you to know this
And I want you to know this
You rightfully threw a box of toys
That were handed down to me
Just take out the ones you brought and then
Give the rest to my family
I'm gonna go back to school today
But I'm dropping myself off
I'm throwing the child seat away
I'm through ripping myself off
I'm done ripping myself off
I'm child and man and child again
A toy broken boy soldier
I'm child and man then child again
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
The boy never gets older
Never gets older
The boy broken toy soldier
The boy...
The boy!
4. INTIMATE SECRETARY
I've got a rabbit, it likes to hop
I've got a girl and she likes to shop
The other foot looks like it won't drop
I had an uncle and he got shot
Is this greeting the type that's meant for me?
Are you part of this ???
This ringing in my ears won't stop
I've got a red Japanese tea-pot
I've got a pen but I lost the top
I've got so many things you haven't got
This fellow's craft is just not for sharing
He's not an intimate secretary!
I've got a rabbit it likes to hop
I've got a girl and she likes to shop
The other foot looks like it won't drop
I had an uncle but he got shot
Then on rubble of ???? malarchy
Down with luck we'll see Ecclesiarchy
Our fellow's craft is just not for sharing
He's not an intimate secretary!
The Ex-? Inspector Inquisitor
The Demockery ??? streets master
Are you part of this kakistocracy?
Is this greeting the type that's meant for me?
5. TOGETHER
You and me forever
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Through any type of weather
You want everything to be just like
The stories that you read, but never write
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
We wrote our names down on the sidewalk
But the rain came and washed them off
So we should write them again on wet cement
So people a long time from now will know what we meant
You want every morning to be just like
The stories that you read, but never write
You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
I'm only concerned
I'm adding something new to the mixture
So there's a different hue to your picture
A different ending to this fairytale
And no sunset into which we sail
You want everything to be just like The stories that you read, but you can't write You've gotta learn to live and live and learn
You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned
6. LEVEL
My baby's on the level
I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
I'm guessing all the time
But I can't see the road
If I'm looking at the signs
I'm carrying a load
And stepping out of line
My baby's on the level
And I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
And I'm guessing all the time
Oh well how can I see the road
If I'm looking at the signs
I'm carrying a load
And stepping out of line
7. STORE BOUGHT BONES
Get up on your hands and knees
Underneath the poplar trees
Digging through the sticks and stones
Looking for store bought bones
Waiting on the rising sun
Clutching at your holstered gun
Praying on a shooting star
That I can be wherever you are
Looking through a telescope
Maybe there's a sign of hope
Leaving everything behind
Stirring a store bought mind
Sitting at the edge of the seat
Wishing you were here by me
Sifting through the mud and the bricks
Looking for a store bought fix
You can't buy what you can't find
What you can't buy, what you find
What you can't buy, what you can
You can't buy what you can't find, what you can
You can't buy what you can't find, what you can
Buy what you find, what you can't find, what you can
You can't buy what you can't find, what you can
You can't buy what you can't find, what you can
8. YELLOW SUN
Yellow sun is shining in the afternoon
I'd really like to tell you, but I feel it's too soon
My actions are dictated by the phase of the moon
The phase of the moon
The sun, it isn't hiding when it sets on you
It's not a coward like me, and I know that it's true
Waiting for the darkness now is all I can do
It's all I can do
And if the sun should follow us into your room
Well, the courage will be robbed from me to tell you the truth
But selling some of the only thing that's shining on you
That's shining on you
You're making me hungry
But what's really funny, is it's not sunny anymore
And when I finally told you when the sun has gone
You're laughing 'cause I thought I was the only one
And the only thing that's left for me is the rising sun
The rising sun
You're making me hungry
You're making me hungry
But what's really funny, is it's not sunny anymore
You're making me hungry
You're making me hungry
But what's really funny, is it's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
It's not sunny anymore
9. CALL IT A DAY
Can we call it a day
Now would that be okay
Can we just go our own separate ways
Cause I'm cold and I'm wet
And I'm willing to bet
That you constructed this maze
I stumble around
Trying to follow the sound
Then something takes hold of my hand
If you've caused such a mess
And I'd venture to guess
That you concocted this plan
And I don't know what to do
Cause it's always with you
Who helped me to make up my mind
But I'll stake my life
And I'll swear by this knife
That it's all by your design
Enough has been said
It goes around in my head
Until I break down and cry
I wouldn't be surprised
If that look in your eyes
Was your way of saying goodbye
Can we call it a day
Now would that be okay
Can we just go our own separate ways
Cause I'm cold and I'm wet
And I'm willing to bet
That you constructed this maze
My hand
You concocted this plan
I don't know what to do
Cause it's always been you
Who helped me to make up my mind
But I'll stake my life
And I'll swear by this knife
That it's all by your design
Yeah, it's all by your design
10. BLUE VEINS
When I was surrounded by the world
You were the only one who came
And you were the only one astounded
Which kept me grounded
As the other girls thrashed my very name
Then I looked over
Just in time to see her smiling back at me
And saying everything's OK
As long as you're inside my blue veins
Your blue veins
Yeah and the feeling that you gave me
No matter what I do or where I go
It always will remain
And those who would enslave me to get to me must get past you and will have no luck
Cause you'll protect me from all pain
The most beautiful, yeah the most beautiful thing cause anything else can't compare
Must be the blood that's running through your blue veins
Your blue veins
