Runaway

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
02:57
|

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

Dancing Shoes
02:43
|

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!

Old Green Snake
03:09
|
|||
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

Family of Strangers
02:36
|
|||
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
