1. Something to Say

Oh, you never learned the "whens" and "wheres" and "whys"
And I still believe that you were dying to be everything
To everyone and for all time
Ah, the golden boy--did you stop trying?

Did it turn out stale, or did it simply lose its wonder?
Could you hold it up from out and under?
Does the distance seem to dim-dumb-dim your memory?
Does the distance seem to fell the hunger?

Chorus:
So you're left with your thoughts and where do you go
Out the window or an open door
And once you believed they could keep you awake--
It's so deceiving.
So you talk to yourself and what do you know
You answer back with a "Don't say so"
And once you believed you had something to say...
It's so deceiving.

So, you never learned the way to hold a crowd
And it turns out now that you were dying to be everything
To everyone and for all time
Ah, the golden boy--did you stop trying?

(repeat chorus)

2. Fun & Games

Let me tear down into your heart
Let me take a seat and stay awhile
Let me tear down into your heart
Ah, fun and games.

Let me steal a glimpse from your eyes
Let me pin it up and stare awhile
Let me steal a glimpse from your eyes
Ah, fun and games.

Let me have a half of your whole
Let me keep it for myself awhile
Let me have a half of your whole
Ah, fun and games.

Let me take the words from your mouth
Let me swallow them and speak awhile
Let me take the words from your mouth
Ah, fun and games.

Didn't I offer less than I lost?
Didn't I mean to find it all?
Look, don't let me size it up.
Hey, right.

3. Sal

Hey there Sal, you sure are crazy
And boy you love to have a ball
Must be great with all the ladies
Watch it Sal, don't you fall.

Chorus:
You can cry like a loser, like a clown
But it doesn't seem to help at all
Oh, you and I aren't used to what we've found
Love like rain will fall.

She left you but you still love her
You thought she was the easy part
She smelled a lie and the luck of the winner
Left you standing in the dark

(repeat chorus)

For a day or two you're feeling dizzy
For a day there's no alcohol
But tonight you're dancing the song of the sinner
Tonight you'll seem to have it all.

(repeat chorus)

4. Upside Down

Don't ask me what I think of this
I only think of that.
Try talking?
First I'll try to hum
It's just that my sum isn't adding up.

Oh, let me state my case
I do as I am told
Keep within the keep, feed within the fold
As I brush away the flies. It's so hard.

Don't ask me, I don't seem to know.
I'm a bit slow, yeah
Try walking?
I'll just take the bus
It's not worth the fuss--well, is anything?

Oh let me stat my case
I teach what I am taught
Filter in a fact, confuse it for a thought
Oh, I'd rather use my time to steep.

Well I keep my feet in the air
and my head on the ground
Oh, I'm walking around upside down.
When I stop I can't see you stare
I can't hear a sound
Oh I'm walking around upside down.

5. Fine Tuning

You better open your eyes wide, it's all here.
You been too long on the inside.
Time to try some fine tuning, focus in if you can.
You better open your eyes now.

Better seen as they say, there's just no way.
I'm falling for all of that.
Just leave your things at the door, and nothing more.
But take what you can.

The sun better open your eyes wide, 'cause it's all clear.
You been too long on the inside.
Time to try some fine tuning, focus in if you can.
You better open your eyes now.

Better seen as they say, there's just no way.
I'm falling for all of that.
Just leave your things at the door, and nothing more.
But take what you can.

There's one small problem I see, I disagree.
Falling for all of that.
Just leave your brain at the door, and nothing more.
But take what you can.

Better seen as they say, there's just no way.
I'm falling for all of that.
There's just one problem I see, I disagree.
Better before your fine (?)

6. Motel

There isn't room in the Inn
The keeper wouldn't be my friend
I could tell in his eye
He'd never change his mind

So, I'm left to walk in the cold
The light of day is growing old
But who's to blame
Neither rain nor shine

Chorus:
That's why this is the best of me
Giving up...
This is the rest of me
And I've had quite enough
This is the best of me
Giving up...
You've seen enough of me
To know that it's tough

That is me in a scene
Father, he is tall ans so serene
I said I'd believe
I declare a proven sigh

Then I'm alone facing the snow
The rain falls hard and is blowing cold
I said I'd believe
When hell had frozen over

(repeat chorus)

But who's to believe
That what I've seen really isn't true

(repeat first verse)

(repeat chorus)

7. Hey Wow

Is the sun out,
Has the wind died,
Or is this stillness here the calm between my ears?
And I know now why they put me here.

Things were clear once
'Til the clouds came,
Now I don't know when they'll fall--
No, I couldn't say at all.
And I know now why they've kept me here.

I've been paralyzed by a choice that lies
Well inside of me--
Which world to hold me now
And I believe I'm drifting...

Hey, the mist surrounds me more and more
Hey, wow. It swirls and it rains here.
Hey wow. And I have known this all before.
Hey wow. And nothing's very...

Are the stars out,
Is the sun down,
Or is the darkness here the calm between my ears?
And I know now why the've left me here.

I've been mesmerized by a voice that cries
Well inside of me
Too loud to hold it down.
And I believe I'm drifting...

Hey, the mist surrounds me more and more.
Hey, wow. It swirls and it rains here.
Hey wow. And I have known this all before.
Hey wow. And nothing's very clear.

8. Ten Pins

All alone, you sit by the hour
You're waiting for the sun to rise
In the night you sit by the fire
You're waiting for the will to fight

Chorus:
But I won't see you there
Ten pins down
No I won't see you there
Ten pins down

And you know that lines get me down
I'm waiting for the sun to rise
In the night we'll sit for awhile
We're waiting for the will to fight

(repeat chorus)

Never needing to decide
There's always another lie-down
You don't seem to know
It's happening over and over

(repeat chorus)

9. Inside My Head

Inside my head I hurt a lot
'Cause I'm thinking about me
And what I did to you

I can't imagine what I have lost
I'm not bold enough to be
Man enough for you

Chorus:
There's no way to save
The dream that's dead
The water has passed beneath us
On a bridge reaching down fro you.

Would you have been a movie star
Or would you have been like me
Nothing but a fool

I can cry and hide and pray a lot
But there's nothing I can do
To save the dream for me

(repeat chorus)

(repeat first verse)

My home is just not big enough
To start a life for three
But I wish I could for you

10. Uninspired

Well the steel in his strings
Cuts into his fingers
And the lines that are left
He knows so well

And the words that he screams
Sift through the smoke and sweat
While his wandering mind
Tries to tell...

To tell him he's uninspired
In some weary, absent way
To tell him he's simply tired...

Then the sound rolls in
And lifts him up and in to the place he should've been
Then the sound rolls in, and lifts him up and in

And when all has been drained
He wrestles with the feeling
Of an unfelt refrain that he knew too well

And the words that he hears,
Because they compliment
Are the words that he fears,
Because they tell...

They tell him he's uninspired
In some weary absent way
They tell him he's simply hired here.

Then the sound rolls in.
And lifts him up and in to the place he should've been
Then the sound rolls in...

11. Saturday Nite (USA)

They say you've been around
They say you've been uptown
Funny, I was with you
I just can't recall
But they say you've been around

They say you've been denied
A chance at yourself
They say you even tried
To make a go
Funny, it's been so hard
To try and understand
They say you've been untied
I'll see for myself

It's a weird and wonderful time
It's been so long I thought I'd better ask

Let's settle it now
Isn't there something that keeps us alive
Let's settle it now
It's got to get better
And better's alright

12. Lay Me Down

Sing to me sweetley as I turn sour
Lay me down, remembering
That the wind and the rain
Played a part in that dreadful hour

And so as I pass, I too feel the power
Laying here under the trees
Where three days before
I danced in a summer shower

Chorus:
And she said "There, look through the trees,
The sun always shines, always on time,
Dare, rest on your knees
And in a prayer, follow me there."

Softly I slumber as I turn to powder
Blowing out over the sea
The wind and the rain billow me
Though I'm no longer fire

A bird is alone as the wind takes me higher
Now I don't know where I am
The bird can't hear me
As I shout out even louder

(repeat chorus)

La la la la...

(repeat chorus)
