What Color
What color shoes will you be wearing
What color lipstick will you have on
Will your lashes fade from black to nothing
If we stay out to late tonight too long
We'll go all the places baby that I know
We'll spend all the money that I got
Then you'll say driver won't you take me home
I say is this all the thanks I get or what
Let's all go out and shoot some pool now
Let's stand in line for the three needs
You just sit there and all act cool now
I'll get something cold to beat this heat
We'll go all the places baby that I know
We'll spend all the money that I got
Then you'll say driver won't you take me home
I say is this all the thanks I get or what
I want to know
Yeah I want to know
If That's all you are
If That's all you Got
We'll go all the places baby that I know
We'll spend all the money that I got
Then you'll say driver won't you take me home
I say is this all the thanks I get or what
Let The Right One In
Don't ask her her name 'cause she might say Idaho
She's a girl I used to know but I don't know anymore
Don't ask her where she's from 'cause she'll lie from the start
For her it's an art no she can't tell the truth
She never says goodbye
I've never seen her cry
Don't follow her home you won't like what you find
She's not your kind no she's not at all like you
No don't let her in don't show her your bed
Your better off dead no she's not the right one
She never says goodbye
I've never seen her cry
She Waits alone always alone
I found her there when I ran away
To Be on my own
Don't reach for her hand She's a thing you can't own
Your flesh and your bones mean nothing to her
Tear your eyes away don't stare at her soul
She shivers with cold but she doesn't know why
She never says goodbye
I've never seen her cry
Stars My Destination
Looking for the one who left me here
Now I gotta get revenge I hold so dear
I don't know if I'm ready to let go
I don't know if I'll Ever Make it home
My name is Gully Foyle
And Terra is my nation
Outer space is my dwelling place
And stars my destination
stars my destination
Gonna change my name and change my face
Then I'm gonna walk around inside your place
I don't know if I'm ready to let go
I don't know if I'll ever escape this hole
My name is Gully Foyle
And Terra is my nation
Outer space is my dwelling place
And stars my destination
stars my destination
Gonna make my world pristine pristine
Gonna force you to explain come clean come clean
I don't know if I'll ever become whole
I don't know if I'll ever let it go
My name is Gully Foyle
And Terra is my nation
Outer space is my dwelling place
And stars my destination
Stars my destination
Stars my destination
Stars my destination
Remembering
Another paper came today
How could there be anything left to say
There's nothing here for you or me
But to just get drunk and to watch TV
Or lay on the floor looking up at the ceiling
Remembering
Our childhoods
And why we were in such a rush to get through
Another 30 died today
But it all happened so far away
And sympathy is hard to find
Does anyone you know seem to mind
When people treat each other unkind
Remembering
Our childhoods
And why we were in such a rush to get through
Remembering
Our childhoods
And why we were in such a rush to get through
Another icon fell today
No one needs them now anyway
The cameras record all the scenes
It's written about in magazines
But nobody knows what it means
Remembering
Our childhoods
And why we were in such a rush to get through
Goes Without Saying
I Never Sang For My Father and it hurts
Because you never get a second chance
It only makes things worse
And It goes without saying it goes unsaid
The rain turns to gold
But don't let it go to your head
To your Head
Mother thought that I was the best thing
That ever happened to her
But look what's happened to me
Mama give it up
And It goes without saying it goes unsaid
The things you want to do
You better do fore you're dead
Fore you're dead
Virginia had it coming you know she had it coming
She had it coming to her
And she tried and she tried but
She just can't seem to get it right
And It goes without saying it goes unsaid
The rain turns to gold
But don't let it go to your head
To your Head
And It goes without saying it goes unsaid
The things you want to do
You better do fore you're dead
Fore you're dead
Mother thought that I was the best thing
That ever happened to her
But look what's happened to me
Mama give it up
And It goes without saying it goes unsaid
The things you want to do
You better do fore you're dead
Fore you're dead
Piece Of The Action
She wakes up she's taking no chances
She lets the phone ring before she answers
Now she's living in the mainstream
This is more than just a bad dream
Ooh she's burning up from holding back
Ooh she wants a piece of the act
It's 2 o'clock she still can't sleep
Her poetry runs very deep
Is she wrong is she stray
She's running away
Ooh she's burning up from holding back
Ooh she wants a piece of the act
She wakes up New York City
Goes to sleep with 49
Number numbers she keeps on playing
98 99
Ooh she's burning up from holding back
Ooh she wants a piece of the act
She wakes up she's taking no chances
She lets the phone ring before she answers
Now she's living in the mainstream
This is more than just a bad dream
Ooh she's burning up from holding back
Ooh she wants a piece of the act
Piece of the action
Piece of the action
Piece of the action
Piece of the action
Piece of the action
Piece of the action
Uneven Attraction
He turned back to see that
She looked through the window
For a moment the whole world stood still
Jump back a moment his slow heavy breathing
The slow burn and cigarette kill
And now their time is done
And his heart starts to wander
He fights the urge to run
He can't face her any longer
His last cigarette tastes of lies and regret
But the burn and the smoke fit the mood
His feet are resisting he picks up the pace
It's assertive without being rude
A chance to introspect
And his mind starts to wander
And his soul is a shattered wreck
He can't face it any longer
A chance to look inside then shudder and cry
Why does he even bother
But there's no place to hide when you soul starts to die
No bargains no offers
And now their time is done
And his mind starts to wander
He fights the urge to run
He can't face her for much longer
Mr. Average
I'm Mr. Average having an average day
Get up and brush my teeth in the average way
I walk out the door on my average street
I stand and wait for the bus on my average feet
I look at my watch
Hope I'm not too late
Just an average man
Please don't mistake me for great
Have average job
I work 9 to 5
Then I head back Home
I am barely alive
I'm Mr. Average having an average meal
I watch some TV and think about how I feel
I can't sleep 'cause I wan't something more
but I don't know what to do I just stare at the floor
I look at my watch I've stayed up too late
Some would call it bad luck others might call it fate
What happened to my life How'd it get like this
Where did I go wrong I'm getting so fucking pissed
I'm Mr. Average and I'm quitting my job
My co-worker's a prick and my boss is a slob
I won't be just average I'll try something new
but there are so many options I don't know what to do
I look at my watch Hope I'm not too late
Just an average man Please don't mistake me for great
I look at my life Hope it's not too late
To turn my life around I want to be something great
Another Bit Of Me
Soul of mine soul of mine
Lead me to the diamond mine
Hart so right Hart so right
Carry me through this endless night
Falling is so effortless
It leaves me feeling free
So dies another bit of me
On the line On the line
My eyes are closed I've lost the time
In my head In my head
I never leave my feathered bed
Wasting time is effortless
It leaves me feeling free
So dies another bit of me
Gravity Gravity
Pull me into the briny sea
Mountain high Oh mountain high
Only you Can touch the sky
Giving up is effortless
It leaves me feeling free
So dies another bit of me
