You know what you are, underneath it all
A shadow finds its way in
But that’s just the Train in the Distance
CHORUS
……Fate or destiny?
What are you waiting for when your right next to me?
Oh, now we’re in love, a trip out to the Coast
You say it’s not enough?
But dreams can’t be tamed, unlike Duncan
(CHORUS)
The hardest part about dreams is letting
Don’t turn away from them… tomorrow
Further to flyyyyyyy
Further to flyyyyyyy
Further to flyyyyyyy
Further to flyyyyyyy
Hit me with your best shot, take my dreams and falsify them
I’ll give you this America
And we can shake rattle and roll forever
(chorus)
Even old punks I know, dance around to their parent's Paul Simon
‘cause that’ all that they had
I approve completely
(chorus) is this my destiny?
I feel The Rhythm of the Saints when you're right next to me
Bridge
The toughest Allergies are set to blow
You think about that friend, tomorrow
The Kodachrome of life
Can’t Run But I can view
The kind of life, we'll never lead………

………………..Gimme the cure – to bordedom
Foreboding
Evil olive on the run, from an angel doing Krav Maga
Quite a lovely bacchanal, You look nervous say you’ve witnessed a killing!
You’re a credit to the form, In a kayak screaming “party trap”
I’m a fool aloof am I, In a doom mood…There’s a killer, within you
Chorus
Racecar, same as it forwards and backwards, Keep do good wordsmith I
Mold them, Like wow mom and
Hannah, same as it backwards and forward, Baby come down to my
Level for a civic lesson
Gimme the cure – to boredom
Foreboding
A car a man a maraca, When your outside drive a Toyota
Go dog get a redder one, harass Sarah say you’ve witnessed a killing!
Hear a dogma I am god, I live evil, madam crushed them all
Cain a maniac, deified, When you’ve realized, there’s a killer within you!
(Chorus)
Gimme the cure – to boredom
Foreboding
It takes time to craft and I know, Rotator on my radar
Red root put up to order……..God lived as a devil dog
God lived as a devil dog (I did, did i?)

(opening guitar jingle)
now if you take that final fortune
it makes you less ordinary
and if you choose do walk the pathway
makes you more ordinary
and entertainment makes you happy
well your just ordinary
well sha la la la, sha la la la, lalalalalaaa, sha la la laaaaaaa
well there's not much too this earthly life here
that makes us ordinary
and if you fly with me this evening
said babe i was born to love you
a pack of this a drink of coffee
makes us more ordinary
and sha la la la, sha la la la, lalalalalaaa, sha la la laaaaaaa
take the gumption ahhh
still we see the portal future
ohh and times goes by
we see our death and life is finite
it made you cry
but tell me i can't live forever?
dont care i was born to love you
and we can take these thoughts of death right
out the door this time, make the best of life
and take the gumption ahhhhhh
(guitar ending)

Are you ready for the weekend baby
Gonna go out like a friday night
Full of promise for a 2 day period
That is no way to live your live
It means nothing to me
I’m a patient man, doing what I can
In a world that’s gone to hell that’s the bane of Christian men
Lightning bolt of change, painful rearrange
Like a photon now a neutron
All particles relate
Why do we go about
Gotta shout it out
Shocking who say
What’s relayed
Tirade
In Brisbane
Shocking we say
Married not
Catered by
disdain
Are you ready for the weekend baby
Gonna go out for a memorable time
Hope you know that you can do that anyday
Try and party on a Tuesday night
If your crazy go and sing on Mondays
At a bar where you get pretty cool vibes
What im saying is there is no limit
Don’t be defined by a 9 to 5
This means everything to me
The way we go about
Gotta shout it out
Shocking who say
relayed
Tirade

Shocking we say
Married now
Catered by
My disdain
MY DISDAIN LOVE

I share your burden man the tears in the rain, they glisten
Falling on surfaces and gone with a hashtag # forgiven
Chorus
Glory is the Sound that quakes, you guilty rabbit
Fall into the seismic fate, so indecisive
Glory, and I’ve found my wraith, browbeaten tears a
Whole into your rusted cage, which brings me back to Glory
(Intro)
Glory…………, Glory……….
They turned to trains turned to jets turned to cars, you listen
Oh lord its too late for this body make an android, of this one
(Chorus)
Can we feel love like them, im just divided
I feel a heartbeat but, forever changes
Lessen our cause purpose, I look the same but
Different now, and likened to now, because
Fake Chorus
Glory is the sound that quakes……..
Short Verse
You never heard it doesn’t mean it was not there, (sing!)
Chorus x 2
(Intro)
Glory…………, Glory……….
Glory……

Blasphemy

|
Louis Bunuel, you’re borderline crazy
You got the art of the world on the tips of your finger
Nails yeah, you cut them and we die
When I got pain on my mind, you get me though hard days
To know a genius when I see the satire on the screen
While mocking the industry of life
Chorus
If he likes it, he’ll have a dream about lichens
If she burns it, we fret a while then upturn it
Louis C.K., you son of a bitch
You miscreant
Hobnobbing up Yancy, for a glimpse of The Thing
And his rock arms
I’ve got a whole in my chest, that shoots out a light
In this dark world
I leave nothing to chance, ‘cept the cut of my jib
It’s got lights, girl
Blasphemy- when you talk about creation
Blasphemy- when you think about rejection
Glad to see- you have turned in the direction
Glad to see- I ask god the only question
All I can be is what I’ve learned so far
I tryyyyy!, to make exceptions to the rule
And if this world ever gets to 50 billion people
I think I’lllll!, still have advantage over
The census population
If he likes it, he’ll have a dream about lichens
If she burns it, we fret a while then upturn it
Mickey mouse drawn, with a machete in the dark
If we like it, a salty dog
Will we shine like fuckin’ Louis Jourdan
Its ok, not ok, if you don’t, give a damn about ‘em
Some call it…..blasphemy?

Compound World

Lyrics:
Girl you’re so needy at night
Girl you halt my breathing just by
Being the center of my life
I know, love does not take time
I know that time is on my side
I know, time does not take sides
Girl you’re so greedy sometimes
In the compound world, your broken window shade might
Fall of the prop on your bedside
I know, love does not take time
I know that time is on my side
I know, time does not take sides
If you call me now I will
Be there in spite
Of the life we had, I couldn’t
View beyond I….my fault I’ll make it right
Girl, I guess I need you sometimes
Girl, I want you back in my life
I know love is on my side
I know, love does not take time
I know that time is on my side
I know, time does not take sides
Oh, the world outside
Always in my mind, girl with the broken light…

Regiment

lyrics:
Found a way to leave you / legend in my eyes
Party at the Kennard house / Lancaster will thrive
You’re just another regiment / seeking control and power
c-can you be any different / reality is embowered
train went off the tracks / stuck in the mire /
don’t go down to Omaha / Platte River’s on fire
You’re just another regiment / seeking control and power
c-can you be any different / reality is embowered
“Liiiiincollllln Abe / spirit get into my soul”
Taking in a refugee / proud on our side
Skirmish as a pioneer / the Pawnee Pride
You’re just another regiment / seeking control and power
c-can you be any different / reality is embowered
“Liiiiincollllln Abe / spirit get into my soul”
“Liiiiincollllln Abe / spirit get into my soul”
Found a way to leave you ………. Uh huh uh huh……..

lyrics:
Feel this look, on my face
Feel it working, working
Feel the heart-beat a wail
Feel it working, working
Feel this
Chorus
Ive struggled enough, I’ve worked hard enough
But is that enough you know to feel this
We’ve seen it enough, I’ve done quite enough
But is that enough you know to feel this?
Feel this look, on my face
Feel it working, working
Da daaaaa dada daaaaaaa dahhhh
(helicopter sound)
Well ive heard it before so I know this
We’ve seen it enough so were used to it
It repeats enough so we got this
My struggles enough so, you feel this
Chorus x 1.5
Feel this look, on my face
Feel it working, working

Stunned By Time

|
lyrics:
You are not a very good person
You say you are, but you never listen
If I could take time learning how to make time
And I would go back, get all of that back
You are not a competent thinker
Surround yourself, with all the right treasure
If I could take a different per-spective
Show you that real beauty’s not possession
chorus
I’m a little stunned by time
I’m a little stunned by time
There you are moment, there you are
There you are moment, there you are
I am not a very good person
I say am, to all who don’t listen
If I could take time learning how to fake time
Lead a double life, faking it to get by
Though I am a dutiful dreamer
Surround myself, with all the right ideas
Tell u I got a different per-spective
Show you that real beauty’s not possession
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE MUSIC- guitar solo
(Demented part)
Life is short, don’t waste your time playing games in your head
Life is short, don’t follow all the rules, that are set
Life is short, don’t fall for that dumb guy that you hate
Life is short, don’t look twice at that girl who is fake
You ask why, that I don’t know but its always been that way
I say I, refuse to waste it no more little stunned by, im a little stunned by……
I’m a little stunned by time
I’m a little stunned by time
I’m a little stunned by time
I’m a little stunned by time
There you are moment, there you are
There you are moment, there you are
There you are moment, there you are
There you are moment, there you are
(shattering sound)
