Your Alibi (Pride: The Cold Lover)

Sunday morning I arrive
Through the dark and night's disguise
Sunday morning
Baby, I'm your alibi

Dream got out of bed
And made it stand
Screamin' out loud
Get your feet on the ground
She said drop dead
Stuck in the clouds
That hang around her head

Oh, will someone light a candle
For me, leading to my morning glory

Sunday morning I arrive
Through the dark and night's disguise
Sunday morning
Baby, I'm your alibi
Sunday morning I arrive
Through the dark and night's disguise
Sunday morning
Baby, I'm your alibi

Give and take
And get what you give
The mistake is it's easy to die for you baby
It's harder to live
Windows down
They keep me wake

Oh man, will someone light a candle for me
Drivin' to my morning glory

Sunday morning I arrive
Through the dark and night's disguise
Sunday morning
Baby, I'm your alibi
Sunday morning I arrive
Through the dark and night's disguise
Sunday morning
Baby, I'm your alibi

I know it don't make sense
Accept that this is over
It makes no difference
Accept that this is over

Conversations with my coffee and cigarettes
She's as far from me as heaven
But it's worth it in the end
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't worth fighting for
And for every mile marker on this interstate
There's a reason why I'm still here and why she still waits

So someone light a candle for
Every reason she's my morning glory

Sunday morning I arrive
Through the dark and night's disguise
Sunday morning
Baby, I'm your alibi
Sunday morning I arrive
Through the dark and night's disguise
Sunday morning
Baby, I'm your alibi

Singing out
It don't make sense at all
But I'll drive around all night
I'm singing out
It don't make sense at all
But I'm drivin' all night
All night

One For The Numbers (Sirens)

Pack your bags
Don't you feel a bit insecure?
It's natural
And sell your past
You don't need it anymore
It's called Americanization

So if you've come here for salvation
Please wait in line
We take our time
We take no reservations
Give us a break
We're heading in the making

America dear
Religion's a fast food restaurant here
America dear
God works via satellite here
And we wish you were here
We wish you were here
One more for the numbers here
And we wish you were dear
We wish you were here
One more for the numbers dear

How do you you lie?
A nation you paid full price
Quite an exotic sensation
To be a lonely awkward nation

So pack your bags
Don't you feel a bit peculiar?
It's natural
And sell your past
You don't need it anymore
We call it Americanization

So if you've come here for salvation
Please wait in line
We take our time
And make no accusation
Give us a break
We're heading in the making

America dear
Religion's a fast food restaurant here
America dear
God works via satellite here
And we wish you were here
We wish you were here
One more for the numbers dear
And we wish you were here
We wish you were here
One more for the numbers dear

How do you you lie?
A nation you paid full price
Quite an exotic sensation
To be a lonely awkward nation

And it's a fucked up situation
A kingdom of bastard-mixed procreation
And our freedom is masturbation
Feel free to cry
We've sold a lie

But if you've come here for salvation
Please wait in line
We take our time
And save your aggravation
Give us a break
We're heading in the making

America dear
Religion's a fast food restaurant here
America dear
God works via satellite here
And we wish you were here
We wish you were here
One more for the numbers dear
And we wish you were here
We wish you were here
One more for the numbers dear

We wish you were here
One more for the numbers dear
We wish you were here
One more for the numbers dear

How do you you lie?
A nation you paid full price
Quite an exotic sensation
To be a lonely awkward nation

Never Enough (Pride: The Cold Lover)

Hospital corners, out of order
I am rolling in it
Curse me with a love
If it's an illness then the straight jacket fits
And the feeling will not change

I'm building monuments for every breath
That you meant for me to find
And every daisy will die in an effort
To find out if I'm on your mind

Never enough
Of you to keep me satisfied
If you run
I'm right behind
'Cause I'll never have enough of your love

Role play what you'd say if you were here
It's all just pretend
Stories in my head repeat again
Until I start to believe in them

I'm building monuments for every breath
That you meant for me to find
And every daisy will die in an effort
To find out if I'm on your mind

There's never enough
Of you to keep me satisfied
If you run
I'm right behind
'Cause I'll never have enough
Never enough
Of you to keep me satisfied
If you run
I'm right behind
'Cause I'll never have enough of your love

Oh loving you so
Behind these eyes that are brown
There's a sun that goes down
Just for me

There's never enough of you
There's never enough of you
I can never have enough of you
I can never have enough of you
With me behind
These walls awake

It's never enough
Of you to keep me satisfied
If you run
I'm right behind
'Cause I'll never have enough
Never enough
Of you to keep me satisfied
If you run
I'm right behind
'Cause I'll never have enough of you
I can never have enough of you
With me behind
These walls awake
I can never have enough

Venus 55 (Model Citizen)

Do anything for you
My love
I want it all for you
My love
I steal it all for you
My love
We need to see this through
My love

It's all become so clear
It's all become so clear
It's all become so clear, so clear, so clear
Cut me open and feast on the inner side of me
Keep me open and cleanse the stains they left on me
Dip you in the sea of sex
Go and dry off in my mouth
We'll keep drivin' west while the rest go south
The rest go south

Shoobity-bah-bah-bah

Let you sleep in my palms
My love
I'll eat the rest of you
My love
Till you are inside
My love
We need to see this through
My love

It's all become so clear
It's all become so clear
It's all become so clear, so clear, so clear
Cut me open and feast on the inner side of me
Keep me open and cleanse the stains they left on me
Dip you in the sea of sex
Go and dry off in my mouth
We'll keep drivin' west while the rest go south, go south

Shoobity-fuckity-fuckity-bah

Go south, the rest go...

It's all become so clear
It's all become so clear
Yeah, now it's all become so clear, so clear, so clear
Cut me open and feast on the inner side of me
Keep me open and cleanse the stains they left on me
Dip you in the sea of sex
Go and dry off in my mouth
We'll keep drivin' west while the rest go south, go south

Shoobity-fuckity-fuckity-bah

Go south
The rest go south, go south, go south
Shoobity-fuckity-fuckity-bah

You are my Venus 55
You are my Venus 55
You are my Venus 55
So fine, you are my Venus 55

Shoobity-fuckity-fuckity-oh

Probably Nothing (These Magnificent Miles)

It's not a relationship
It's an arrangement
It's not what you say
It's how you say it
Shame on me
Shame on me for opening up with my eyes shut
Here I go again, another lesson
My means to an end is now exhausted
Shame on you
It's my fault too for never addressing this question

And I know this is not what I wanna hear
Yeah I know that we want what we fear

But I'm sayin' it now
Sayin' it now
What I never said before
You bring my knees to the floor
But I'm sayin' it now
Sayin' it now
What you never hear out of my mouth
I'm sayin' it

I find myself reading horoscopes
Looking for some kind of hope
So I don't wanna hear why you can't stay here
And I'll never regret making this statement

'Cause I know this is not what you wanna hear
Yeah I know that we want what we fear to say

But I'm sayin' it now
Sayin' it now
What I never said before
You bring my knees to the floor
But I'm sayin' it now
Sayin' it now
What you never hear out of my mouth
I'm sayin' it now

The real thing
We are the real thing
We got the real thing
And it might be nothing
It's probably nothing
It might mean nothing to you
But it means everything
Everything
It's everything to me
Everything
The real thing
It's everything...
And it might mean nothing
It's probably nothing
Might mean nothing to you
But I'm sayin' it now

Red Ryder (These Magnificent Miles)

You let your anchor down
Still got a ways to go
I see your gathering of moss on your rolling stone
Dressin' up pit stops to look like the end of the road
Where've you gone, Red Ryder, Where'd you go?

It would do you some good to forget the morning afters
And dare inspired laughter ringing in your ears
You're overdue
Damn the things you've done
And out comes the sun
Reminding me you're still here

When you gonna hold yourself accountable, kid?
You're throwin' yourself to the lions again
When you gonna lose the weight you're carryin'
'Cause you're sinkin' to the bottom with it
When you gonna hold yourself accountable, kid?
You're throwin' yourself to the lions again
When you gonna lose the weight you're carryin'
'Cause you're sinkin' to the bottom with it
And huggin' that stone won't make you roll, kid

Some people get kicked around and sold as is
'Cause we stomp our feet on the ones we later miss
So you better roll your rock now, boy, or you never will
'Cause there's one last dance on the killing ground
And soon you're standing still

It would do you some good to forget the morning afters
And dare inspired laughter ringing in your ears
You're overdue
Damn the things you've done
And out comes the sun
Reminding me you're still here

When you gonna hold yourself accountable, kid?
You're throwin' yourself to the lions again
When you gonna lose the weight you're carryin'
'Cause you're sinkin' to the bottom with it
When you gonna hold yourself accountable, kid?
You're throwin' yourself to the lions again
When you gonna lose the weight you're carryin'
'Cause you're sinkin' to the bottom with it
And huggin' that stone won't make you roll, kid

You can't curl up at night
Regretting you're on your own
C'mon, Red Ryder, ride
Through the sunset all alone
You gotta let it go
Let it go

You let your anchor down
Still got a ways to go

When you gonna hold yourself accountable, kid?
You're throwin' yourself to the lions again
When you gonna lose the weight you're carryin'
'Cause you're sinkin' to the bottom with it
When you gonna hold yourself accountable, kid?
You're throwin' yourself to the lions again
When you gonna lose the weight you're carryin'
'Cause you're sinkin' to the bottom with it
And huggin' that stone won't make you roll, kid
Huggin' that stone won't make you roll, kid

Borderline (Souvenirs of City Life)

Is it coincidence I live my life within the walls of this fence?
And it makes no sense to innocence to leave
But I can't stop believin'

There's so much for me to see
And I wanna taste it all
So much between you and me
But not for long

Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
I am packed and I am well dressed
Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
Does mother really know best?

'Cause I'm breathin', breathin' in
Deep inside the borderline
The borderline I've known
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Deep inside the borderline
The borderline I call my home

But now I don't know
Age 18, I am evergreen
On a bus
Destination Columbus
And on my headphones
Scream Simon and Garfunkel
Reaching out to me with America

Here I come, y'all, America

Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
And now suddenly I'm far away
Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
I am no longer okay

'Cause I'm breathin', breathin' in
Breathin' on the borderline
The borderline I've known
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Breathin' on the borderline
The borderline I call my home

Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
And where there was darkness overflows with light
So have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
For all the rights and wrong, why you've gone
Now I'm gone and I've never been better in all my life

And I'm breathin', breathin' in
Way outside the borderline
The borderline I've known
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Way outside the borderline
The borderline I call my home
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Way outside the borderline
The borderline I've known
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Way outside the borderline
The borderline I call my home

It's time to go
