Lyrics


1. Hats Off

You love to change your mind.
Hate to see you lost in your ignorance, or is it just indifference?
What goes on behind?
What goes on within you, without you, there's nothing to you.

Why are you so blind?
Why are you so hopelessly helpless, hopelessly helpless?
You can't have it back.
No you can't have the world as it once was with cowboys and Santa Claus.

With all your charm, all your cleverness.
It's not enough, we'd be better off with something else.
It's not enough, and all my thoughts, all my bitterness.
Still not enough with all your charm and all...

You love to change your mind.
Hate to see you lost in your ignorance, or is it just indifference?
Why are you so blind?
Why are you so hopelessly helpless, hopelessly helpless?

With all your charm, and all your cleverness.
It's not enough, we'd be better off with something less.
It's not enough, with all my thoughts and all my bitterness.
Still not enough...

Hats off to you, and yours and mine.
Hats off to you, and yours and mine.
Hats off to you, and to yourself...

With all your charm, and all your cleverness.
It's not enough, we'd be better off with something less.
It's not enough, and all my thoughts and all my bitterness.
Still not enough...

Hats off to you, and yours and mine.
Hats off to you, and yours and mine.
Hats off to you, and to yourself...

2. Holding Pattern

Once in a while I can see through
What is real and what is show.
Saving my colds for your purest thoughts.
It may come and it may go.

Chorus:
In a holding pattern, standing still as statues in a row.
It's so hard to change the pose.
And if movement mattered, I can still be moved, so ask again
"Will they line us up in a row?"

Give me a glimpse of some distant time. (?)
Let me know what's in store.
Keep me in mind when you cross yourself.
I couldn't ask for anymore.

(repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus)

3. Seven

My brother told me
What had happened on that day.
Although I knew,
The feeling did not hit me right away.

Then I fell asleep into a dream and thought that it was real.
And I knew that it was alright, I knew that he was alright.
Fell asleep into a dream and thought that it was real.
And I knew that it was alright, I knew that he was alright.
And all seven knew that I would never see him again.

My brother told me
What had happened on that day.
Although I knew,
The feeling did not hit me right away.

The time was wrong, the feelings strong
Will I see you today?
And I thought of what we said, and I feel it too,
Will I see you today?

And I thought I heard you speaking as I fell into a dream.
And I knew that it was alright, I knew that he was alright.
Thought I heard you speaking as I fell into a dream.
And I knew that it was alright, I knew that he was alright.
Then all seven knew that all here would see him again.

So long, so long...
Then I fell asleep into a dream and thought that it was real.
And I knew that it was alright, I knew that he was alright.
Fell asleep into a dream and thought that it was real.
And I knew that it was alright, I knew that he was alright.
And all seve knew that all here would see him again.

4. Unspoken Words

Call to myself and they locked me in.
Call to myself today, today.
Speaking to no one and feeling fine.
Thinking of you today, today.

If faith is the measure of what we feel,
Then I haven't felt today, today.
And this is a feeling that isn't real.
And I haven't felt today, today.

Chorus:
Unspoken words, that say I, me I (?)
Unspoken words, that say I
Unspoken words, that say I, me I (?)
Unspoken words, that say, that say I.

Call to myself and they locked me in.
Call to myself today, today.
Speaking to no one and feeling fine.
Thinking of you today, today.

(repeat chorus)

If faith is the measure of what we feel,
Then I haven't felt today, today.
And this is a feeling that isn't real.
And I haven't felt today, today.

(repeat chorus)

5. Darker Days

And if I do wonder, what to do.
Waiting on the mote, lead us through. (?)
I can see the season, for today.
There's no need to reason, well I'd just run away.

Oh, I have seen, darker days.
Oh, I have seen, darker days.

Saw you in the half-dream, safe from view.
Lost you in the waking, but I knew.
Words are words and I would, try to find.
Better ways to let you leave those days behind.

Chorus:
Oh, I have seen, darker days.
Oh, I have...
Don't have to wait 'til tomorrow, it's on my mind.
Don't have to wait 'til you come looking for me.
Don't have to wait on the sorrow, it's on my mind.

And if I do wonder, what to do.
Waiting on the mote, lead us through. (?)
I can see the season, for today.
There's no need to reason, well I'd just run away.

(repeat chorus)

Darker days, the days you left undone.
Don't have to wait 'til tomorrow, it's on my mind.
Don't have to wait 'til you come looking for me.
Don't have to wait on the sorrow, it's on my mind.

6. Much Easier

Fell out of bed this morning, find a new face.
I never felt the morning, perfect, pure grace.
I here would ask them, there's no answer.
Safe in the searching, another chance here. (?)

Chorus:
It's much easier this way.
It's much easier just hangin' around.
It's much easier this way.
It's much easier just...

I fess out of bed this morning, to find a new face.
I never felt the morning, perfect, pure grace.
I here would ask them, there's no answer.
Safe and certain, another chance here.

(repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus)

7. 1934

I don't know if I care any more.
The silver's hidden under the floor.
It's been there since the Civil War.
Oh I'll be out by 1934.

Agree when they say yes.
Never differ when they say no.
It's only my _________________
And I'll be out by 1934.

My mother's never been the same.
My father's a forgotten name.
Torture, don't know what for.
I'll be out by 1934.

Oh I'll be out by 1934.

8. Brighter Worlds

Tell them, won't you tell them? I know, don't you know?
What awaits the chosen. I know, I know, don't you know?
Then I close my eyes and I feel fine.

Chorus:
Tell them, won't you tell them? I know, don't you know?
And I can go, can you?
And I can go, can you?

Tell them, won't you tell them? I know, don't you know?
Brighter worlds await them. I know, don't you know?
Then I, I follow blind, and I feel fine.

(repeat chorus)

We can go so far from here.
And you can go so far from here.

Tell them, won't you tell them? I know, don't you know?
What awaits the chosen. I know, don't you know?
Then I close my eyes and I feel fine.

(repeat chorus)

We can go so far from here.
And you can go so far from here.
