Leadbelt
I suppose that innocence could hold you back
But I'll be sad when I get older
Like a body, you'll float to the top
With all the ageing on your shoulders
So climb that ladder slowly
'Cause I don't want to reach the top right now
Tie that leadbelt around your waist and mine
We'll do fine just hanging around for a while
Sometimes things just work out someway
Always things just work out this way
Sometimes things just work out someway
This way things just work out sometimes
Sometimes things just work out sometimes
Seeing Stars
I saw a star
It unleashed all the madness
Brought about all my sadness
I'd travel far to see it again
Can we still be here
Just the two of us alone
Can we still stay
And watch the others come undone
I can feel my nights
Are getting colder
I've got to lose
This chip on my shoulder
I saw a star
And I'd travel far to see it again
I saw a star, I saw a star
Each To Their Own
I could walk with you for days
And still not get any further down this road
The way I act sometimes
Reminds me of the way I don't want to be
I could talk to you for days
Of all the different ways to get what you want
But that would all mean nothing
Because you'll always want for something
So please shout me down
'Cause I don't know it all
I could talk to you for days
And tell you things that no one else knows
I'd leave no stone unturned
The bottom line when the candle burns out
So don't shout me down
When I don't show it all

Dog
Take me in and keep me warm
Roll me over, call me yours
Just be there in the morning
You don't need me on a leash
I'll come back each time you need me
I'll be there in the morning
I'll be there in the morning
Walk me around
Walk on me, I'll still come back to you
When you call, I'll take a backseat anytime
If we in the movies you'd make feel
Like I'm the star of every scene
And it would be the best part
That I'd ever played
But I drop by just to watch you act
'Cause every action just attracts me onto you,
Please don't underestimate that when I see you
The things you make me say
I don't want to sleep outside
Sleep all day and sleep at night
I wanna play someone
When you say something
You make feel like someone
You make feel like someone
You make feel like someone
I wanna feel like someone
Walk me around
Walk on me, I'll still come back to you
When you call, I'll take the backseat anytime
Just walk me around
Walk on me, I'll still come back to you
When you call, I'll take the backseat anytime
Clowns Hands
I see things inside the puddles no-one else sees
Got they don't got glasses like me, glasses like me
I saw white hands with no bodies float down the hall
When I was small
They can't get me, they can't me
So now I'm caught ___ a personal _____

Now I know it's safe to be a dreamer
I'm safe from all the nightmares now
She's taken all the bad dreams out
Seen the crazy
Stung by the bees, drowned in the seas
All of the dreams
Worry about things, but it won't get me
Poke My Side
Before this draft blows back on me
I'm starting to fade out,
I wanna know if I'm as good as I feel
Keep one eye open for me, I'm feeling the fear
Just poke my side and make me laugh 'til I scream
Just make me think of something good...
Cos I'm thinking all the wrong thing and not what I should
So keeps your eyes open for me...
And poke my side and make me laugh 'til I scream
Before this draught blows back on me
I'm starting to fade out,
I wanna know if I'm as young as I feel
Keep one eye open for me, I'm feeling the fear
Just poke my side and make me laugh 'til I scream
Send That Monkey To Mars
Take back your protein pills
Cause I didn't think that time shoved so quick
And your not like him, no
You're not like anyone
Cardboard cut-out, carbon copied
Tiny speck on my memory
Damn you all, damn you all
I don't care
Fond Memories Of New York
Imagine dusty old roads and all McDonalds with
middle-age waitresses
Coffee black as the oil that falls off ___ trailers at a truck stop
Watching the sunrise, looking into your eyes
Watching our dreams, as they go by
I pictured all of the things that Tom and Frankie told me
about the ___
Wanna see for myself now, but I'm afraid it's gonna be a let down
Watching the sunrise, looking into your eyes
Watching the cars as, they go by
If I could have it my own way we'd be shining brighter
than the headlights
All the billboards on Broadway would be saying we'll always be together
Watching the sunrise, looking into your eyes
Watching our dreams, as they go by
The Bits (That Float Around When You Close Your Eyes)
There's no one yet to disappear
So there's some degree of maybe
Had a couple of smokes
I turned off the lights
And watched the bits that float around when I close my eyes
And you know the way things happen
They just come and go, then gone
There'll be bits you don't like
Some we won't see
But can I be the bits that you see?
Can I be the bits that you see?
Can I be the bits that you just wanna see?
