Runaway 02:02
Early mornin', I'm tired Stayed up too late last night Cable TV, video games I guess things they could be worse But how much more can I take I go crazy I start to hate Everybody I see standing on the streets Find a new life Far from here Find a new life To make me Happy (happy, happy, happy!) GO! Ah how much more can I take I go crazy I start to hate Everybody I see standing on the streets There's gotta be some place to go Secret place where dreamers go Live and love, live and love! Forever Find a new life Far from here Find a new life To make me Happy (happy, happy, happy!) GO! Forever a place to live A place where I can dream Forever a place to love Where the dreamers are free to dream Oh I can't stay Another day So runaway With me Find a new life Far from here Find a new life To make me Happy!

Die a little death each day Die a little death each day Die a little death each day The only way to love Is to die a little death each day Easy come, easy go Love will always flow Through your heart and through it all Through the big and small The bass beat and life The joy and harmony The only way to love Is to die a little death each day Throw me down, finish the job Lay me down my soul to keep My lord has gone to sleep Oh have I wasted wasted Wasted all these days The only way to love Is to die a little death each day The only way to love Is to die a little death each day Feel the sun the magic of the moon A near death experience every afternoon Oh have I lost my mind To the other side To hell and back We're all about to crack, oh no To hell and back We're all about to crack, oh no Die a little death each day Die a little death each day Die a little death each day The only way to love Is to die a little death each day Oh the only way to love Is to die a little death each day

I'm sick I'm lyin in bed Nearly pronounced oh nearly dead I went to the doctor and this is what he said Put on your dancing shoes The only way to chase away them blues You dance out all your demons and you Shake up your soul Take his temperature the old fashioned way It's highly suspect, oh, someone should pray! There's only one thing that we can do We've got to change his shoes Put on your dancing shoes The only way to chase away them blues You dance out all your demons and you Shake up your soul Put on those dancing shoes The only way to chase away them blues You dance out all your demons and you Shake up your soul (Shake it up) I arose from the bed It's a miracle that I was not dead Put on those dancing shoes and I was Saved Put on your dancing shoes The only way to chase away them blues You dance out all your demons and you Shake up your soul Put on those dancing shoes The only way to chase away them blues You dance out all your demons and you Shake up your soul You dance out You dance out all those demons and Shake, shake, shake, shake Shake up Your soul!

Sitting alone, me and TV I feel like I've done something wrong I watch all the news And some cartoons But as per usual there's nothing on To think about life is very mundane What is there left to think about? My mind's getting fat, like my belly And all my thoughts are surrounded by money When we go wrong Isn't there more to life? I need a hand full of green dollar bills So I can sleep at night It's that old green snake in the middle of the road Supposed to go to college to earn more money Education's got nothing to do with it Supposed to read the papers to stay informed Because if you don't you'll have nothing to talk about at dinner And nothing to talk about at dinner Well that's sad! When we go wrong Isn't there more to life? I need a hand full of green dollar bills So I can sleep at night It's that old green snake in the middle of the road If you look back Into your life What is the worst day you'll find? For me it's the day That money became The only reason that I'm alive It is the truth That I fear It's the truth That I fear Where did I go wrong? Isn't there more to life? I need a hand full of green dollar bills So I can sleep at night The old green snake in the middle of the road It's all about the money

Mermaid 04:16
Like a sailor I left my home For adventure on the high seas The sailing was rough and the sea relentless Eventually, I wanted land and eventually Land Ho! I built a house with my own two hands And filled the rooms with treasure My blood and sweat were not enough The house was so cold The house was so cold A lady's touch does so much more Than a man's can do alone A lady's touch makes everything alright A lady makes a house a home So Like a good sailor I tried saving damsels Whose distress I made may own Little did I know when you fix a broken wing That little bird flies away That little bird flies away My mind made up I'd just go it alone Just me and all that treasure So I load up my boat I head out to sea Love sick was me Love sick at sea A lady's touch does so much more Than a man's can do alone A lady's touch makes everything alright A lady makes a house a home Then out of the water A mermaid appears Out of the water a mermaid appears I saw her oh and she saw me And it was love at first sight Love at first sight Well We didn't waste time getting acquainted Now we're together, never separated Engagement was asked, the answer was yes My house is now a home My house is now a home I'm home I'm home I'm home A lady's touch does so much more Than a man's can do alone A lady's touch makes everything alright A lady makes a house a home

Bike Ride 02:48
Into the sky Sail with the birds Around the sun Angels on high Pedal faster, here we go! Into the dream with purple snow Tears of joy, tears of laughter Bike right up the mountainside and into forever Stars we roam Nowhere, don't care Love is home It's the big, big The big big bang! Pedal faster, here we go! Into the dream with purple snow Tears of joy, tears of laughter Bike right up the mountainside and into forever What is this? Never ending day My legs are never tired My thirst has gone away Pedal faster, here we go! Into the dream with purple snow Tears of joy, tears of laughter Bike right up the mountainside and into forever Bike right up the mountainside and into forever Bike right up the mountainside and into forever

All of us in a family portrait Eyes looking up Smiles to the sky We've been together my whole life I know these people from the outside We are the family of strangers Oh the time goes by And oh the time goes by We get together on the holiday The same old story like history on replay New babies are born Someone's gotta die I've known these people my whole life And oh how we fight Don't get along I don't know why everybody's always wrong Oh how we fight some more Till we feel bad Hug each other with tears and smiles We are the family of strangers All the time goes by All the time goes by Lucky for us we got food on every plate And lucky for us we got love under hate Some go to church but Some can go to hell Well there's one thing for sure Ain't nobody here ever gonna change We are the family That familiar family We are the family of strangers Woah We are the family That familiar family We are the family of strangers All the time goes by And all the time, all that precious time, goes by La da da da da da da La da da da da da da da Oh
