The Farallones (The Sea)
02:25
|
|||
|
I want to see the Farallones
I want to sit by the sea
On a day with no clouds at all, just me
I want to take a drive at night
Somewhere that no one knows
Look out from the mountaintop alone
But something always stops me
From getting where I want
And I can't see so clearly from here

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ahhhhh ah ah ahhhhh
Ahhhhh ah ah ahhhhh
I wanna hear what you're saying to me when you say it to me that way (wanna go)
I wanna go where you wanna go if you'll only let me stay (let me stay)
And if you follow where I lead I won't lead you astray (you astray)
You can always count on me to try to make your day
And that's never gonna change
No that's never gonna change
And that's never gonna change
No that's never gonna change
I never thought I'd feel like this, but the words are on my lips (on my lips)
I know it's true every time that you bless me with your kiss (when it's love)
And when its love that guides my speech I think you catch my drift (catch my drift)
I can hardly wait to feel the full weight of this bliss
And that's never gonna change
No that's never gonna change
And that's never gonna change
No that's never gonna change
And that's never gonna change
And that's never gonna change
And that's never gonna change

Can you feel it running
Running through your blood
Can you feel it surging
Can you feel the flood
Does it does it scare you
Does it make you weak (weak)
Does it still pursue you
Even in your sleep
When you find it waiting
What is it you see (speak)
Does it live inside you
Do you dare to speak
Can you hear it calling
Can you open up
Can you shut the door when
It runs in your blood
Can you feel it running (When you find it waiting)
Running through your blood (What is it you see)
Can you feel it surging (Does it live inside you)
Can you feel the flood (Do you dare to speak) (speak)
You are lost in wanting
You have lost your way (way)
You can't speak for crying
You can't hear it say
I am what you needed
The surging in your blood
I am not an answer
I will eat you up

Keep it simple, keep it simple, keep it stupid
Keep it gentle keep it gentle, keep it dumb
Here we go
Keep it simple, keep it simple, keep it stupid
Keep it even-keeled baby cause there's nothing to feel
Keep it gentle, keep it gentle, keep it dumb
And there's nothing to do, and there's nothing to do
Keep it simple, keep it simple, keep it stupid
Keep it even-keeled baby cause there's nothing to feel
Keep it gentle, keep it gentle, keep it dumb
And there's nothing to do, and there's nothing to do
Keep it simple, keep it simple, keep it stupid
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Keep it gentle, keep it gentle, keep it dumb
But then you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take any more
Oh when you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take any more
Oh when you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take any more
When you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take any more
Nothing to feel, nothing to feel
Nothing to feel, nothing to feel
Oh oh oh ohhhh (nothing to feel)
Oh oh ohhhh (nothing to feel)
Oh oh oh ohhhh
Oh oh ohhhh
(Can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take any more)
Oh when you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take anymore
When you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take anymore
Oh oh oh oh ohhhhh
Oh when you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take any more
Oh when you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take any more
Oh when you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take anymore
When you just can't take any more, can't take any more, can't take anymore

Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
It's a hot hot day in the city of PA and I'm gonna stay inside
Laze around like a dog in a pound and keep propping up my pride
Lick my wounds and play some tunes to make everything alright
That's how I keep my troubles out of sight
Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
Another way to get by and be safe from the duties of this life
A quick few games and the radio plays, I just put away the strife
A bottle appears, well how'd that get here? Well it can't hurt too much
Sorry, I'm just bad at keeping in touch
Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
[solo}
Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
Now I'm feeling a bit let down but I'm sure it won't last long
Got my girl in this sunny world and now I got myself this song
I'm just a slob, I've got no job, but isn't it so nice?
To slack off when someone else pays the price
Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
Sleeeeep
All I want to do is sleep
All I want to do is sleep
All I want to do is
Sleep

Like the River
04:32
|
|||
|
Remember when we used to hang down by the lake
Skipping stones and smiling for each other's sake
In those days we thought we'd never grow old
Never fit into our mothers' and fathers' mold
Like the river that just rolls on by
Like the streetlights that only shine at night
I'll be waiting for you to come on by
And if you don't, I guess this is goodbye
Many years we spent just lazing on that shore
Vivid sunsets shook us to our very core
A spirit flew with us from day to day
Animating every offhand word that we would say
Like the river that just rolls on by
Like the streetlights that only shine at night
I'll be waiting for you to come on by
And if you don't, I guess this is goodbye
When that train rolls in from a hundred miles away
Will I recognize your face and what will I say?
Have you changed, have you been living in a dream?
So much water under bridges I have never seen
Like the river that just rolls on by
Like the streetlights that only shine at night
I'll be waiting for you to come on by
And if you don't, I guess this is goodbye
Oh if you don't I guess this is goodbye
If you don't I guess this is goodbye
If you don't I guess this is goodbye

C
Well our hands won't touch
And our eyes won't meet
Am
We'll just walk on by
And stare at our feet
G F
As we try not to think about
G7
The last night we had spent
C
In each others arms
Prechorus:
Am C
You found a space in me that needed filling
And I saw a fire in you that I could tend
Chorus:
G Am F C G
But that warmth that we shared is no longer ours
And those lights in our eyes are starting to go dark
And though it hurts to say 'Our love has fallen apart'
Still we must admit when the engine won't start
So our paths won't cross
And our trails won't meet
We'll just trek on through
Through the city streets
As we try to go on about
The fragile eggshell lives
That we've built from scratch
[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]
A Dm G C E7
Little cracks that run through the homes in which we live
Allow in a little light that shows us who we are
And with every earthquake, every broken plate, a little more gets in
Til the roof is gone and the cleansing sun is beating on our skin
Am G F G C(e) G(b)
When the lines are gone
And the bonds are broke
We can laugh too loud
And dare to hope
That one fine day will come along
When we will meet again
And exchange a smile

Em C G
When the tears are coming strong
I will hold her all night long
She was right and I was wrong
This is where our hearts belong
D C
Looking out the window thinking something's still to find out there
D Em
Staring past the symbols that I’ve come to think will keep me here
C
Though I fear
G D Em C D
This is no place to be for a man like me in this year
G C G
The year of the deer
When the tears are coming strong
I will hold her all night long
She was right and I was wrong
This is where our hearts belong
Looking out the window thinking nothing’s left to find out there
Blinking past the memories they’re gone for good to shed a tear
Though I fear
There is no place for me in the bankruptcy of this year
The year of the deer
Looking out the window thinking something's still to find out there
Staring past the symbols that I’ve come to think will keep me here
Though I fear
This is no place to be for a man like me in this year
The year of the deer

Fading Away
02:29

Night turning into day
Day turning into night
Can’t feel when the earth is spinning
Only see the path of the sun
Time only means as much
As the memories that it holds
And my memories are
Fading away
Waves crashing on the shore
Of an ocean bigger than I can understand
And walking through the surf
My footprints vanish as soon as I’m gone
Life only means as much
As the impressions that you leave
And my footprints are
Washing away
Stay with me
So I won’t forget you tomorrow
Hold my hand
So I won’t get lost on the way
I’m not as strong as I wish I was
And my memories are
Fading away

Leave It All Behind
03:44
|
|||
|
There’s something seeping through the walls
It spreads while I’m asleep
And by the time I wake up its hanging all around me
And though I can’t see it
I know that it’s there
Something thick and greedy
I feel it in the air
And oh oh oh, it weighs on my mind
oh oh oh, I’m thinking that it’s time
To leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
There’s something lurking in the streets
I know it’s always there
A sneaking suspicion, a chill in the air
And though it’s not aimed at me
I feel it all the same
Centuries of history
Taking their aim
And oh oh oh, when will it end
Oh oh oh, who can I defend
If I leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
There’s something right in front of us
A memory that must speak
All the ghosts of history
Raised in a week
And though the gates are open
Our leaders can’t see
Stumbling and hiding
They can’t get us free
And oh oh oh, it’s a play without an end
Oh oh oh, there’s nothing to defend
We gotta leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all be

Humans At Play
03:13
|

|
A Section: ||: A F#m | C#7 D7 :||
Everyday, I see my fellow humans at play
In roundabout ways, searching out a morsel of praise
But looking out, at all these victories and routs
I can’t make out, who has won or lost the bout
B Section: || F#7 | Bm | F#7 | Bm | G | C | F#7 ||
And I can’t make sense of their arguments
The troubles that live in their heads
Cankerworms that feed on their sense
If I had a choice, I would listen to every voice
And cut through the noise, all the little tactics employed
But the money talks, from the streets to the ballot box
Ticking clocks, mark out minutes we sell like they’re stocks
But a friendship is not an investment
No assessment can tell you its worth
In sentiment there is no true north
So put them aside, all the little fibs and lies
Speak your mind, let me know what goes on inside
I hope you see, I just want to know you’re here with me
A F#m E
Want to feel like we’re free to be
So everyday, we’ll watch our fellow humans at play
Weeding out, every last morsel of doubt
And with the years, we’ll share what is left of our fears
A F#m E
Grow together the way that we’re meant to do
A
Just me and you
