1.Stone Cold Yesterday
I want a word with you, 'bout some average jimmy.
He told me things that i guess i never knew.
He was a bad dancer, 'til he learned to shimmy.
He was adrift until the world came into view.
He had an old stand-by. not your average betty.
She showed me things that i guess i always knew.
She was a slow burner, 'til the world got steady.
She wasn't found until the early afternoon.
Hey, get me out of this some way.
I wouldn't feel so inhibited.
Gotta get me out of this some way.
I want to see what it is thay see.
Chorus： stone cold yesterday, changed, how did it change me？
Don't it make you wonder, man
stone cold yesterday, changed, how did it change me？
Don't it make you wonder, man？？
Hey, get me out of this some way.
I wouldn't feel so inhibited.
Gotta get me out to this some way.
I want to see what it is e see.
(repeat chorus)
And i walked, and i breathed, and i tried to not let it change
me.
Don't it make you wonder, man？
Stone cold yesterday, changed, how did it change me？
Don't it make you wonder, man？
2.Speak To Me
Slow down, i'm not looking for an answer.
But at least not today.
Instead entertain me for the moment.
Oh this won't go away.
Chorus：
You speak to me then sentence me.
You change me around.
Turn me over and around you like that.
Then just let me be.
Outside, it's always from the outside.
'cause you can't hear a word.
Some things come cheaper by the dozen.
At least that's what i've heard.
Too strong to be held tight,
Too young to be told.
Too strong to be so tired.
Seems like i would know.
(repeat chorus)
Slow down, i'm not looking for an answer.
But at least not today.
Instead, entertain me for the moment.
'cause this won't go away.
Too strong to be held tight,
Too young to be told.
Too strong to be so tired.
Seems like i would know.
(repeat chorus)
And speak to me, them sentence me.
(and from the left side, the right side)
All that you see.
Turn me over and pound me out flat.
Then just let me be.
3.All Sinks In
I've been turning a new direction.
And polishing my reflection.
To a dull glow, something to show.
My friends for awhile.
And i nod at the torn and tattered,
'cause my conscience is badly battered.
And it screams this time,
Yeah, this time, i am sure.
Then i recognize the classic signs.
Of this unkind disease.
Be advised,
Please realize.
Oh, and it all sinks in on us sometimes.
Oh, and it all sinks down around us.
I was wandering out this morning.
As the soup kitchen lines were forming.
And the no-choice,
Lend-us-your-noise parade was in town.
And i turned around, and tunnelled in
And dared myself to breathe.
Now i'm seeing things that i don't want to believe.
And it all sinks in on us sometimes.
And it all sinks down around us.
And this time i am sure.
That i recognize the classic signs.
Of this unkind disease.
Be advise, please realise.
Oh, and it all sinks in on us sometimes.
Oh, and it all sinks down around us.
Oh, and i know i've been tied (？)
Oh, and it all sinks down all around us.
According to black park：
All sinks in：
I've been turning a new direction
And polishing my reflection
To a dull glow something to show my friends for a while.
And i nod at torn and tattered,
'cos my conscience is badly battered.
And it screams,
'this time.' well, this time i am sure.
Now i recognize the classic signs of this unkind disease.
Be advised, please realize that it all sinks in on us sometime.
And it all sinks down all around us.
I went wandering out this morning
As the soup kitchen lines were forming,
And the no choice, lend-us-your-noise parade was in town.
So i turned around, and tunnelled in,
And dared myself to breathe.
And i'm seeing things that i don't want to believe,
And it all sinks in on us sometime.
And it all sinks down all around us.
4.Get A Gun
When she came down, heading me home safe and sound,
All the rest was me.
What a laugh, neither the first nor the last.
All the rest was me.
Well, you've given it all that i won't give.
And you laid it in my palms for me, remember.
And you've given it all that i won't give.
And it's all in a day's work.
Chorus：
She never listens to me at night.
Get a gun, get a gun, we're losing altitude.
She never listens to me at night.
Ah, but i remember.
Understand, this is the way things get planned.
The way to stand with me.
What a drag, was it the first or the last？ all the rest was me.
And you've given all that i won't give.
And it's all in a day's work.
(repeat chorus)
She never listens to me at night.
Get a gun, get a gun, we're losing altitude.
And you've given all that i won't give.
And you laid it in my palms for me, remember.
Well you've given all that i won't give.
And it's all in a day's work.
(repeat chorus)
She never listens to me at night.
Get a gun, get a gun, we're losing altitude.
She never listens to me at night.
Ah, but i recall, i recall.
5.What Do You Want？
The room we're in's the only friend this evening.
If i wasn't in here i'd be leaving.
It's a room for viewing and a stage for dance.
So a dollar can buy cheap romance,
But its so on and so on for sue
The midget's stare can't compare to the rich man's.
Fools, they kneel at the wave of her hand.
She's like a queen, when she's standing there.
Legs are long beneath her flowing hair,
She's pregnant and barely she shows it.
What do you want？
A mind untangled is a mind set free.
What do you want？
A laugh in a mirror, a cry for me.
What do you want？
The song has ended, she leaves the stage.
Clapping rings loud and clear.
It isn't music that has brought us here.
Go on and ask us, say.
Say
What do you want？
A mind untangled is a mind set free.
What do you want？
Some can fake it, and some can not.
What do you want, do you want, to leave him？
Hand jive, hand jive.
She said hand jive, hand jive.
Hand jive, hand jive.
6.Set The Stage
I see you shuffle on the set when you stand inside it.
And there's applause raining down that won't last.
And it's the lines that i forget that keep me around, i guess.
For something better yet.
Now there are fair weather friends.
And there are fools besides us.
Who would learn every turn and twist somehow.
And they're standing in the wings, and the the half light
flickering
Chorus：
Set the stage.
Hey i'll tell you about the part we'll play.
Set the stage.
Hey i'll tell you about the part we'll play.
Well i've been looking to the past
'cause i've seen the future.
And there's a song coming on that won't last long.
And it's the roles that i forget that keep me 'round, i guess
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mother's eyes.
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mother's eyes.
(repeat chorus)
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mother's eyes.
Overthrown and unwise,
In your mother's eyes.
(repeat chorus to fade)
7.One Simple Word
Got the rest of the day, and i'll share it with you.
But it's coming 'round to feed you.
With the sun in his eyes, starin' the 14 carat stare.
Yeah he's coming 'round and his mind stops there.
But there's world enough and time to decide again.
As if there weren't enough and
One simple word, one simple word.
One simple word, one simple word.
Will he come on command？ will he fetch your paper？
Would you stand him in your favor？
With the sun in his eyes, starin' the 14 carat stare.
Yeah, he's coming 'round and his mind stops there.
Cause he's taking all this time just to try again.
Yeah he's taking all this time
One simple word, one simple word.
One simple word, one simple word.
One simple word, one simple word. (there you are, rustin' like a
tin can)
One simple word, one simple word. (and all the difference...)
But there's world enough in time to decide again.
But there's world enough in time to decide again.
And i knew you would.
One simple word, one simple word.
One simple word, one simple word.
One simple word, one simple word. (there you are, rustin' like a
tin can)
One simple word, one simple word. (and all the difference...)
One simple word. (5 times)
8.Another Souvenir
I see you down in the back of the bar.
Accompanied and comforted, by what you are.
And there's a place in the back of your mind
And you'd give anything to leave it behind
Cause it's where you reside.
And i watch you stir around 'cause it keeps me busy.
Always willing to take the time so it won't just waste away.
And it's tearing you apart, i watch the pieces scatter
Pick one up and look around for another souvenir.
I've been trying to pin you down
Your bound to spot something that i shouldn't see.
I've got a private view of this, and this i've seen before
And wouldn't miss, 'cause it's something to do
And i watch you stir around 'cause it keeps me busy.
Always willing to take the time 'cause it tends to waste away.
And it's tearing you apart, let's watch the pieces scatter.
I'll pick one up and look around, maybe i'll meet you down...
Yeah we watch you stir around and it keeps us busy.
Always willing to take the time so it won't just waste away.
And it's tearing you apart, we'll watch the peices scatter.
Pick one up and poke around for another souvenir.
Yeah we watch you stir around and it keeps us busy.
Always willing to take the time 'cause it tends to waste away.
And it's tearing you apart, watch the peices scatter.
Pick one up and look around for another souvenir.
I see you down in the back of the bar, accompanied and
comforted.
Note： doug has a vocal spliced into the song. the word he sings
is： 'divided.'
9.Link
Are you too young to play, too old to let me in？
One has his stone, take it, can you take it in？
And know when you laugh, oh how it'd make him grin.
Don't bat an eye, please won't you take in？
Well, oh will you ever be my friend？
10.The Joke
Here's a man who can't take a joke.
He wails and battles and bawls.
Here's a man who lost his control.
And i can see, we all can see, that he'll never get that joke.
Crowds of many makes a man of steel,
But alone he battles his rust.
I can't tell if he's the only one.
And i can see, we all can see, how he'll never get that joke.
Why don't you buy time, toss-around time
You want to get that joke.
Why don't you find time, and realize
The walls won't fall on you.
The critics came and changed the earth.
Sticks and stones are all dust.
Oh, ________________ just fade away.
Words are cheap, all really deep, now we want to get that joke.
Why don't you buy time, dance-around time
You're really not that joke.
Why don't you find time, and realize
The walls won't fall on you.
Empathize and hide your eyes,
Let's just talk about us.
Two friends walk into the dark.
Got to be, when he can sleep, and we never get that joke.
Why don't you but time, toss-around time
We're really not that joke.
Why don't you find time, and realize
The walls won't fall on you.
Why don't you find time, kick-around time
You're really not that joke.
Why don't you find time, and realize
The walls won't fall on you.
11.Too Gone
And what am i too gone for you？
And when am i too gone？
And what am i too gone for you？
And when am i too gone？
Wasn't i once on for you？
And what am i to say？
Wasn't i once on for you？
And what am i to say？
One if by land, two if by sea, three if by chance.
Four for the door, five for the sky, six in my hands.
Chrous from： shannon - 'let the music play.' from the album of
the same name
We let the music play, we don't get away.
There goes the music baby, we know how to use it, let it play.
Let the music play, we don't get away.
There goes the music baby, we know how to use it, let it play.
One if by land, two if by sea, three if by chance.
Four for the door, five for the sky, six in my pants.
12.Waiting My Turn
I asked her to stay here with me a while.
Oh, she said 'no.'
These words mean nothing, these thoughts won't fly.
Oh, she said 'no.'
And where would this lead us to anyway？
Oh, she said 'no.'
And i crossed the line in half the time, and that's insane.
Oh, she said...
Chorus：
'hey now, keep yourself in town, won't you？'
And 'daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you？'
So i asked her to come back some other time.
Oh, she said 'no.'
These words ring hollow, these thoughts aren't mine.
Oh, she said...
(repeat chorus)
So i'm sitting here and waiting my turn.
Oh well, maybe next time.
Yeah, i'm sitting here and waiting my turn.
Oh well, maybe next time, i will learn.
Oh yeah, maybe next time, i will learn.
(repeat chorus)
I'm sitting here and waiting my turn.
Oh well, maybe next time.
Yeah, i'm sitting here and wiating my turn.
Oh well, maybe next time, i will learn.
Oh yeah, maybe next time, i will learn.
Oh well, maybe next time, i will learn.
13.Take A Bow
I heard you ring, so you'll be there with bells.
I know you know, this side of things so well.
I'm standing here, and waiting for an answer.
And still in awe...
Somehow i knew it was impossible
And somehow i knew...
And it's taking a long time, i knew it was impossible
And somehow i knew...
Yeah i knew
This time is closer
And somehow, now
It's not what i wanted.
Think for yourself, it makes no sense to me
But i believe.
Hey, hey, in time you'll know, you've know it all along.
To take a bow and leave them with a song.
Somehow i knew it was impossible
And somehow i knew...
Yeah i knew
This time is closer
And somehow, now
It's not what i wanted.
And it's taking a long time
I knew it was impossible
And somehow i knew...
Yeah i knew
This time is closer, and somehow, now
It's closer
And somehow
It's not what i wanted.
