Ready To Stay
04:12

My neighbor scratched my Chevrolet
But it don’t matter much
I kinda like it that way
They’re only sixteen
And they’ll learn one day
How to drive
This little old house, we call our own
It’s a bit banged up
But it feels like home
And when I fix the heater
We won’t be so cold
Every night
I’m ready to stay here
I’m ready to stay
No matter how much
We rearrange
Two chairs and a couch
Still feels the same
I don’t know how to tell you
But this end don’t feel very light
The cat’s out cold on
The quilt you sewed
While you’re sittin’ out back
And you watch things grow
Inside I’ll paint a picture
And I’d better be sure
To hang it right
I’m ready to stay here
I’m ready to stay
The time I spent away
The bills we had to pay
Those ceiling cracks
And crooked floors
Don’t see them anymore
You’re all that I adore
Can you picture us here?
Can you picture us?
I’m ready to stay here
I’m ready to stay

Better Than Ever
03:56
|

Feast your eyes on a guy who’s a bit passe
It’s all good (you’re all good)
Only the best, they could attest to that long game style
I’m bankin’ on, oh it’s on
Wooo, ooh, better and better
Wooo, ooh, it’s better
Now nobody likes when you’re right
But the whole room’s sayin’ that you’re wrong (now move along)
Said I’d break, I couldn’t take all that high-stakes dealin’ goin on
Well it’s on
When I’m at the point that gets me down
You step it up, you’re better than ever
There by my side, two so proud
You block out the noise when fate goes wrong
You set it up right and you get it together
Savor the joy in what we done
Wooo, ooh, better and better
Wooo, ooh, it’s better
Where can you go when you know that the rules keep changin’ all the time (get back in line)
Had bright ideas but it feels like that long game style’s draggin’ on
For so long
When I’m at the point that gets me down
You step it up, you’re better than ever
There by my side, two so proud
You block out the noise when fate goes wrong
You set it up right and you get it together
Savor the joy in what we done
Wooo, ooh, better and better
Wooo, ooh, it’s better and better and better
Wooo, ooh, better and better
Wooo, ooh, it’s better and better and better
Wooo, ooh, better and better
Wooo, ooh, it’s better and better and better

Away From The Castle
03:42
|

I’m out in the country
Been foolin’ around in the country
Got myself up and off the scene, oh yeah
Sure gets cold here at night
I got the fire I can’t seem to light
I’ve been workin’ on make believe, uh-huh
Pull me back, let that slingshot set me free
Telephone ring, I thought a scam was likely
I’ll go back, when they come out here and make me
From my house out in the trees
Heard word from the castle
Queen waves the pink colored tassel
I forgot what I was gonna say, oh no
Turn around but the sound, it got louder
Bell rings at the top of the hour
Pretty soon I’m gonna run away, uh-huh
Pull me back, let that slingshot set me free
Telephone ring, I thought a scam was likely
I’ll go back, when they come out here and make me
From my house out in the trees
Queen of the castle wearin’ my crown
King of the castle, all fall down (Out in the country)
Queen of the castle wearin’ my crown
King of the castle, all fall down (Out in the country)
Queen of the castle wearin’ my crown
King of the castle, all fall down (Out in the country)
Queen of the castle wearin’ my crown
King of the castle, all fall down
I built my castle out of earth and wood
Pull me back, let that slingshot set me free
Telephone ring, I thought a scam was likely
I’ll go back, when they come out here and make me
From my house out in the trees

Adrian

You taught me the game I’m still playin’
You told me to wait, well I hate waitin’
For so long now
Promise may break, I know the score
I keep on holdin’ out for you even more
Adrian, I cut some flowers but the feelin’ wasn’t right
They’re lyin’ on the dash of my car
Adrian, I thought you’d carry me, I’m over that tonight
I’m drivin’ on with you in my heart
It’s all over town, people talkin’
When you’re not around, they all come knock on my door, uh-huh
Heard through the vine, you’re comin back
Give me a call or is that too much to ask
Adrian, I cut some flowers but the feelin’ wasn’t right
They’re lyin’ on the dash of my car
Adrian, I thought you’d carry me, I’m over that tonight
I’m drivin’ on with you in my heart
I know, I’ve been distant too
Workin no stop, no break
Adrian, A-D-R-I-A-N, come back again
I said Adrian, A-D-R-I-A-N
Adrian, A-D-R-I-A-N, come back again
I said Adrian, A-D-R-I-A-N
Adrian, A-D-R-I-A-N, come back again
I said Adrian, A-D-R-I-A-N
Adrian, A-D-R-I-A-N, come back again
I said Adrian, A-D-R-I-A-N

In The Breaks
03:22

Bail it out or go swimming
Out in the mouth out in the breaks
I bail it out or go swimming
Out in the mouth out in the breaks, I
Broke my line, reel it in
Alligator, see her grin
Auld lang syne, don’t forget about
Days gone by now, the sun is goin’ down
Cloud cover turned colors
I saw heaven from the car
Leaned over on the shoulder of an alligator gar
I’m swimmin with the big ones now
I’m swimmin in the river’s mouth
Bail it out or go swimming
Out in the mouth out in the breaks
I bail it out or go swimming
Out in the mouth out in the breaks, I
Sarah says, you’re wrong about
What’s in fashion, or more what’s out
No one said the money’s good
No one’s askin’, and I don’t think they should
Cloud cover turned colors
I saw heaven from the car
Leaned over on the shoulder of an alligator gar
I’m swimmin with the big ones now
I’m swimmin in the river’s mouth
I’m swimmin with the big ones now
I’m swimmin in the river’s mouth

How Long's Eternity?
03:12
|

How long’s eternity?
After life, what’s there for me?
It isn’t clear, nor is it plain
Why I’ve got a name, blood in veins
And you’ve got just the same
Is it fate to roll the dice?
Fall in random paradise?
All I know is what I see, lazin’ in the breeze
Falling leaves
Wake up in a dream
Time’s got no alibi
Where it goes will pass you by
A moment can be rearranged
But it don’t break the chain, of heart and pain
Hello there, what’s your name?
No charade, you’ll see the light
Luminate, won’t that be nice
Live the way you’ve wanted to
Do what you love what you do
I wish it’s true
The void’s got me and you
Watchmaker’s sanity
Set the clock and let it be
Built the house for me and you
Made in perpetude
Now what I’ll do
We’re all just passin’ through
How long’s eternity?
After life, what’s there for me?
It isn’t clear, nor is it plain
Why I’ve got a name, blood in veins
And you’ve got just the same

Just Think
03:34
|

Just think, enough, to dance
And boogie to the right
Love at disco night
The way, you move, the light
A song that’s better yet, you know that’s
Love at disco night
Long ago, and far away, I had love
But it’s too late
Just think, enough, to last
And boogie to the right
Love at disco night
Just think, enough, to dance
And boogie to the right
Love at disco night
The way, you move, the light
A song that’s better yet, you know that’s
Love at disco night
To your heart, I held a key
Keep that lock, away from me
Just think, enough, to last
And boogie to the right
Love at disco night
Some might meet, old fashioned way
In a bar, where the band will play
Just think, enough, to last
And boogie to the right
Love at disco night
The way, you move, the light
A song that’s better yet, you know that’s
Love at disco night
Just think
To dance
Just think
To dance
Just think
To dance

Anything For You
03:03
|

My friend, the sun will rise
I know it’s been a hard year twice
Breathe in deep now and let it out
Laugh or cry, I’ve got time for that
Say it wrong, you can take it back
Baby that’s alright
I’m your kerosene burning clean
Anything for you honey
Rock to lean, love to thee
I believe in you my friend
I do, I do, uh-huh
My house it holds a tower
Of stone walls and vines that flower
And I’m holding a place for you
Any time, just come on through
Day or night, changing tide, I’m right here
I’m your kerosene burning clean
Anything for you honey
Rock to lean, love to thee
I believe in you my friend
I do, I do, oh yeah
My friend, the sun will rise again
I know it’s been stormy skies
Come in out that pouring rain
Kerosene burning clean
Anything for you honey
You shake a mean tambourine
I believe in you my friend
I do, I do, uh-huh

Is It Really Over?
05:26
|
|||
Is it really over?
Are we really through?
Did you break apart this world of mine?
It’s not the one I knew
Is it really over?
Are we said and done?
Did I go out sayin’ that same old line
“I thought you were the one”
Is it really over?
Are we really through?
Is it really over?
Cuz I ain’t over you
Is it really over?
Are we packing in?
Did you make a point to leave me blind,
Or have I always been?
Is it really over?
Are we winding down?
Will I end up the last one in the place at night,
With no one else around?
Is it really over?
Are we really through?
Is it really over?
Cuz I ain’t over you
Is it really over?
Are we near the end?
Did I fall asleep on borrowed time,
To never wake again?
Is it really over?
Are we callin’ quits?
To this I’d say my boldest lie
“It doesn't hurt a bit”
Is it really over?
Are we really through?
Is it really over?
Cuz I ain’t over you

Golden Sun
03:21
|

I pick up the paper, walk to the station
Read about the writings on the wall
I know when my train come
Six AM, fifty-one
Standin’ by the track I heed the call
I get on, like I always do
Climb up the stairway
There’s sun shinin’ through
How long will it hang there for?
Golden sun
I’m chippin away now
Need a vacation
Broken water cooler down the hall
We sent them the wrong one,
I’ll send them the right one
That’s very much the story of it all
I shut down, baby, close up tight
Lock up the doors, and walk away in the night
Let’s give ‘em what they came here for
Golden sun
Golden sun, glow on everyone
I never thought you more than a star above my head
Unless, you get up in the west
And you make things bright
I’ve been living with the ghost
Golden sun
Neon’ll call me
Send in the cavalry
Don’t know why the ceiling’s on the floor
Talkin’ to people
Love is a spinning wheel
Come around, then back out in the storm
I got a smoke, I never light
Lucky you told me
God, I think that you’re right
It’s lookin’ like a beau soleil
It’s gonna be a real good day
Nothin’s gonna stand in my way
Golden sun
