Burning Slow 03:56
I knew that it was wrong But I couldn’t help myself If you think I don’t belong You’ll just have to throw me out I know I’m causing a scene, yes I know I live in a dream but This love won’t leave me alone I’m going down with the undertow I’m burning slow, Oh Take me below Not your Romeo, Oh Fall the domino I thought we moving on And you were moving out You think you just show up And I’ll pull the carpet up I know I’m under your spell, yes I drank that bottle myself but This love won’t leave me alone I’m going down with the undertow I’m burning slow, Oh Take me below Not your Romeo, Oh Fall the domino If I’m going down if I’m going down If I’m going down if I’m going down If I’m going down if I’m going down If I’m going down if I’m going down I’m burning slow, Oh Take me below Not your Romeo, Oh Fall the domino I’m burning slow, Oh Take me below Not your Romeo, Oh Fall the domino

It’s strange to think we don’t make mistakes It’s strange to think we’re flying in space It’s strange could be wrong everything that you knew It’s strange all I want to do Is be with you She said “Can I get on your horse Ride with you, ride with you Through the night?” I said this ain’t a pony baby Check out the horn On my space unicorn

Animal 05:23
There was a time when my world was filled with darkness, darkness, darkness And I stopped dreaming now I'm supposed to fill it up with something, something, something In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody I knew before long long long ago But I'm still trying to make my mind up Am I free or am I tied up? I change shapes just to hide in this place but I'm still, I'm still an animal Nobody knows it but me when I slip yeah I slip I'm still an animal There is a hole and I tried to fill up with money, money , money But it gets bigger to your hopes is always Running, running, running In your eyes I see the eyes of somebody who could be strong Tell me if I'm wrong? And now I'm pulling your disguise up Are you free or are you tied up? I change shapes just to hide in this place but I'm still, I'm still an animal Nobody knows it but me when I slip yeah I slip I'm still an animal

As I looked out at the skyline I couldn't be sure if I was home You see I grew up in the city But now I’m alone But I'm never gonna leave It's twisted in my memories I'm never gonna go This city’s my home I can see my breath blowing In December walking by the Charles She said “Honey I'm moving on will you Please move out” She told me love burns in your eyes When it breaks your heart No matter how you hide it Everyone can see the scar But I'm never gonna leave It's twisted in my memories I'm never gonna go This city’s my home This city’s my home Now I’m sitting at the bar on a Monday night when a girl floats in the door She says, “Come back home And clean up your mess” But Baby I’m coming to sweep you off your feet Just as soon as I’ve found The message at the bottom of the bottle I'll turn it all around But I'm never gonna leave It's twisted in my memories I'm never gonna go This city’s my home This city’s my home This city’s my home This city’s my home

All that happens now Is all there will ever be I used to think that all I was Was all that I could see A dancing shadow A flickering light A falling star that Burns the sky The great great nothing The great great nothing The great great nothing Masquerading as something you can name And I feel like I'm inside the cage Always focused on the pain In the darkness of the night I'm tripping over paradise I bend the arrow back to the back of my head Searching for a target That The mirror reflects A bolt of lightning A rolling wave Arms wide open In the rain The great great nothing The great great nothing The great great nothing Masquerading as something you can name Always locked inside the cage Always have to feel the pain In the darkness of the night I'm tripping over paradise And when I trip a never-ending fall On the way down I’ll see over that wall Just long enough to see through it all The great great nothing The great great nothing The great great nothing Masquerading as something you can name Always locked inside the cage Always have to feel the pain In the darkness of the night I'm tripping over paradise

Woke up from A night Of very little sleep And made our way out the door like sheep Down into the trenches No time for adventure Just another day On Boogie Street No fussing at your hustle One man slaps the other And treats you like a Cold piece of meat Don't think about tomorrow Yesterday is over Beg cheat or borrow On Boogie Street I love this city But I can't stand the scene The one way streets Don't dare me to dream I love this river But it keeps getting wider On the other side my love Is starting a new fire. I wanna boogie with you Oh oh oh oh oh I wanna boogie with you Oh oh oh oh oh I wanna boogie with you Oh oh oh oh oh I wanna boogie with you Oh oh oh oh oh I was in the game But then the new kids came When I got on the top But they all knocked me off I was in the lead But now I'm in the way I put down the fool But now I wanna boogie with you Oh oh oh oh oh I wanna boogie with you Oh oh oh oh oh I wanna boogie with you Oh oh oh oh oh I wanna boogie with you Oh oh oh oh oh

The are scorpions in the desert Monkey’s in the jungle Dolphins in the ocean They’re pandas in the bamboo Do you wanna go? Uh Huh Do you wanna go? OK! There are lizards in the cave Volcanoes on the island Turtles in the cove Starfish on the sand bar Do you wanna go? Uh huh Do you wanna go? Ok! This towns getting smaller every day I could settle down but I just can't stay Still, I want to see, A place I've never known Where they live another way Do you wanna go? Do you wanna go? Uh huh Do you wanna go? Ok! There are scrapers in the sky Trains go underground It's snowing at the peak Sun’s setting on the sound Do you wanna go? Uh huh Do you wanna go? Ok! The like another band They do a different dance They sing a different song They love another god Do you wanna go? Uh huh Do you wanna know? Ok Do you wanna go? Alright Do you wanna know? Let’s Go! This towns getting smaller every day I could settle down but I just can't stay Still I want to see, a place I've never known Where they live another way Do you wanna go? I wanna go with you Some where new I wanna go with you Some where new This towns getting smaller every day I could settle down but I just can't stay Still I want to see, a place I've never known Where they live another way Do you wanna go? This towns getting smaller every day I could settle down but I just can't stay Still I want to see, a place I've never known Where they live another way Do you wanna go?

I didn’t want to follow all the rules But no one wants to look like the fool Everywhere I go I’m standing in line Don’t disturb the grand design I’m bored always being polite No one wants to break the ice Everyday I’m doing my job I wish someone would come and shake me up In the shadows there’s revolution Someone’s cooking, cooking disco In the shadows elbow to elbow Someone’s cooking, cooking disco What would happen if I disobey? Maybe I should look the other way What would happen if they overheard? Are we paranoid or is this absurd I used to think that I could stand aside The suits all were certified Now instead of putting on my crown The man in the blue is shaking me down Have you ever woken in the morning For some reason you knew that you were gonna change? Dreams in the night left you a warning you know For some reason you’re not afraid to go In the shadows there’s revolution Someone’s cooking, cooking disco In the shadows elbow to elbow Someone’s cooking, cooking disco In the shadows there’s revolution Someone’s cooking, cooking disco In the shadows elbow to elbow Someone’s cooking, cooking disco

You got all of your things You put ‘em all in your house You got every amenity But you didn’t get me You been all around the world You been to all the fancy parties Oh all the places that you seen But you didn’t see me When all the treasure don’t do It don’t sparkle like it used to You got all the guitars You got all the synthesizers You put your records on in high fidelity But you can’t hear me When all the treasure don’t do Baggage start to weigh on you It don’t make you happy like it used to Stuff and things things and stuff Stuff and things gotta get em all I’m incomplete this old thing is obsolete I’m impaired no It can’t be repaired Stuff and things things and stuff Stuff and things gotta get em all I’m incomplete this old thing is obsolete I’m impaired no It can’t be repaired When all the treasure won’t do Baggage start to weigh on you It don’t make you happy like it used to It don’t sparkle like it used to

I got my heart I got my peepers I got my tiger face I got my hairstyle I got my noodle I got my big toe I got my belly button I got my elbow One day they're gonna take it back “Who are they?” Nobody knows “Where did they come from?” I wasn't told “When are they coming?” It's a surprise “What do they want?” all my goodies, they weren't really mine I got my lips Got my pie-hole I got my meathooks I got my clapper I got my bajumbas (my bajumbas) I got my tootsies (got my tootsies) Got my meatball (got my meatball) Got my nipples (got my nipples) But when I run out of time, they’re coming for mine One day they're gonna take it back “Who are they?” Nobody knows “Where did they come from?” I wasn't told “When are they coming?” It's a surprise “What do they want?” all my goodies, they weren't really mine I tried to run away but I just ran in circles I want out but don’t want to draw the curtains I tried to run but I just go up and down on the carousel They only made one way out of the shell “Who are they?” Nobody knows “Where did they come from?” I wasn't told “When are they coming?” It's a surprise “What do they want?” all my goodies, they weren't really mine

There are satellites above us Watching all our homes Sophisticated algorithms track The places that we go In the disco there's a bang screams in the night But the man with the gun Never told them why This is the moment when Dreams come true For every face in the crowd The is the moment when I say to you I got it all figured it out When you remember the Mist of the morning And the slow life down by the farm This is the moment When dreams come true So don't you cry when I'm gone The hard rain moved From the gulf into the Delta Hit land in the dead of the night 10 miles Underground they Built a super-computer To train an unmanned army To take the the skies This is the moment when Dreams come true For every face in the crowd The is the moment when I say to you I got it all figured it out When you remember the Mist of the morning And the slow life down by the farm This is the moment When dreams come true So don't you cry when I'm gone There were ghosts in the shell Machines making art Every 15 seconds Someone gets To be a star Underwater lasers cut The crust of the earth While the fire burns for miles Into rebirth This is the age of long distance lovers Light years and frontiers apart Black helicopters are circling above us While the fat cats and aristocrats Are calling for their kick backs This is the moment when Dreams come true For every face in the crowd The is the moment when I say to you I got it all figured it out When you remember the Mist of the morning And the slow life down by the farm This is the moment When dreams come true So don't you cry when I'm gone
