1. Scotty's Lament

So surprised,
I fought windmills.
So surprised,
I saw angels.
I know my place in this...

So surprised,
I had visions.
So surprised,
You were in them.
I found my place in this world.

It's you I swear,
it's you I swear,
I delight in your despair.
(I'll wait for you)
It's you I swear,
it's you I swear,
Giving me the right
(I'll wait for you)
It's you who lied,
it's you who lied
When you had to swallow pride
(I'll wait for you)
It's you I swear,
it's you I swear...

So surprised,
Thoughts escaped me.
So surprised,
Words escaped me.
I know my place in this...

2. Choose a Side

When they said "Who won the war?"
You were in the war.
When they said to choose a side,
It made you want to hide.
When you fell in with the rest
We were not impressed.
When they said "Who won the war?"
It made you smile.

When they've torn you either way,
Put your past away.
When they said to choose a side,
It made you want to hide.
When you fell in with the worst,
It could be a first.
When they said "Who won the war?"
It made you smile.

This time, this time
And nothing will do
This time, this time
We'll leave it all to you.
This time, this time
It's all the same.

3. Try

So wouldn't you like to try?
You're so alive and unusual.
I really don't think you'd mind.
It's not too dear,
it's not too difficult.

Think of this for awhile.
You might decide
it's not for you at all.
But if you should feel confined,
Then take the step and
you could leave it all.

"Seek and you will find"--
But I swear
it's not what you'll find.

4. Just Like Us

The Young ones will step away.
How long will it take them?
How long 'til it breaks them?
Just walking into a new day.
How long will it take them?
How long 'til it breaks them?

They fight and they seem
Just like us.
Unaware that they'll be
Just like us.
Yet you want them to see
Just like us.
And I hope to decide on my own.

It's just too late to discuss.

5. If It Crumbles

And for the first and
for the last time,
I'll wait and see.
And if it crumbles all around me,
Then we'll wait and see.

6. Pawns

Pawns for a pauper's son
Handouts for everyone
Please release me with your smile

Ashes to dust again
Save that for mortal men
Please release me with your smile

And when I rise
And when you fall
That's the part
that weighs me down
The part that weighs me down

You are your own worst fears
Save them throughout the years
Please deceive me
with your smile

Anxious to understand
Who has the upper hand
Please believe me
if it takes awhile

7. Over There

All right, pure delight
to see you stand in
all your glory.
Oh the joys when your boys
hit distant soil.

And I hope to try
to answer those who criticize you.
Lead the sheep in their sleep
to slaughter.

Won't abide, pushed aside
Let me know when you've decided
I'll decline when the sign
says "Over There"

Your game has a name
force and fury, fact and fiction.
Sound the call, and the walls
will tumble.

8. Elegance

He's home, and for the
first time ever
he walked alone
in a world he'd once known.

He's home, just might be
for the better
he walked alone
in a world he'd once known.

They cheer to what you say
and it could be something.
Then they steer so far away
they're missing nothing.

It reeks of common sense
and it could be something
to live in elegance
as the story goes.

GO home, just might be
for the better.
You'll seem alone
in a world you'd once known.

9. Home Today

Coming home today,
a season spent away,
it is hard for me to see,
hard for me to say.
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.

It was quite a time
and I'm sure that I'm
feeling very clear for me,
very clear for you.
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.

Let's do it again.
I will recall
there are things
I could have done.
I will recall
there are things
I should have shown.

Did you find the time
to keep us both in mind?
Did you wander far from me,
wander far from you?
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.

Let's do it again.
I will recall
there are things
I could have done.
I will recall
there are things
I should have shown.

To dream is not to say
I'll take it anyway,
a year is song enough for me,
yet here we are today.
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.

10. OT2

This is an instrumental.

11. I Suppose

Spent time far away,
spent your days lost in grey
and wishes I suppose
mean nothing when
they're tossed away.
And your form and your face,
like some place that I knew
still return to me now.

Oh well, I suppose
I've gone beyond
caring for those
who think like you.
And yes, I suppose
you were that way.
And yes, I suppose
I came to find...

All the way
to Boylan Heights-
How are you?
All the way but not today
they came looking for me.
All the way down to the park
and I never saw you there.
