I got a funny feeling We keep going around and around, and I Think I’m gonna be needing A little stabler ground to hold on. ‘Cause I can’t keep thinking about it; Keep thinking about it; Can’t be still anymore. No, there’s nothing so simple about it; Nothing simple about it; Can’t be still anymore. I can’t be still anymore. I can’t be still anymore. I’ll go ‘round and around; Go ‘round and around with you. No, don’t slow me down; No, don’t slow me down, will you? And I could see the world with you. And I could see the world with you. I don’t know what I’m seeing When the world keeps spinning around my eyes. I think I lost my meaning; Just another day to survive. And I can’t keep thinking about it; Keep thinking about it; Can’t be still anymore. No, there’s nothing so simple about it; Nothing simple about it; Can’t be still anymore. I can’t be still anymore. I can’t be still anymore. I’ll go ‘round and around; Go ‘round and around with you. No, don’t slow me down; No, don’t slow me down, will you? And I could see the world with you. And I could see the world with you.

Dance Alone 03:16
I don’t wanna say goodbye. I just wanna spend my night with you. How’my gonna catch your eye? I don’t know if I can do this. I will never understand How no one was there to hold your hand. Now, I’m gonna lose a chance. I just wanna ask you for this dance. ‘Cause I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. No, I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. Hands are shaking. I’m okay. Got this feeling I’m just miles away. Heart is racing; You’re to blame. I can’t seem to find the words to say. I will never understand How no one was there to hold your hand. Now, I’m gonna lose a chance. I just wanna ask you for this dance. ‘Cause I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. No, I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna; I don’t wanna; I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna; I don’t wanna; I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. Tell me if you’re scared, dear, We can be the same. Tell me all your stories. Let me know your name. Don’t walk out that door, dear, It will be okay. Your heart is all I ask for; Let’s dance the night away. ‘Cause I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna dance alone. (Come be with me) I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna dance alone. (Please stay with me) I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna dance alone. (Ah, ah, ah ah) I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. (Ah, ah, ah, ah) No, I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna dance alone. ‘Cause I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna dance alone. No, I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna; (Ah ah ah ah) I don’t wanna; I don’t wanna dance alone tonight. I don’t wanna; (Ah ah ah ah) I don’t wanna; I don’t wanna dance alone tonight.

Changes 03:31
I was barely out of bed When the walls started turning around my head. Now, I’m learning how to live In an alien world hanging by a thread. I try to run away But I find myself, again, Stuck in the same place. Who will I be today? I can’t control the world or change it. And after all this time I thought I had it figured out, But I’m still learning how to love. And after all this time I thought I had it figured out, But I’m still learning how to love. Now I’m learning to pretend Going back and forth through content and dread. Got meetings to attend; (meetings to attend) Give me one more week and I’ll make amends. I try to run away But I find myself, again, Stuck in the same place. Who will I be today? I can’t control the world or change it. And after all this time I thought I had it figured out, But I’m still learning how to love. And after all this time I thought I had it figured out, But I’m still learning how to love. Watch for the cracks down inside the pavement. (Learning how to live, learning how to live) Go get ahead but try to be patient. (Learning how to live, learning how to live) Care for your dues and don’t miss a payment. (Learning how to live, learning how to live) Give your respects but don’t make a statement. (Learning how to live) And after all this time I thought I had it figured out, But I’m still learning how to love. And after all this time I thought I had it figured out, But I’m still learning how to love.

In The Lobby 02:58
So you’re breaking in And it all begins when you taste the sin On the top of your mouth. Now you got the nerve, And you yearn to learn what you gotta earn So you can make it out. Can you see? We don’t like (we don’t like); We don’t like (we don’t like) How we’re cooking (how we’re cooking). We don’t like (we don’t like); We don’t like (we don’t like) How we’re cooking. There you go again talking shit; Helter-Skelter politic. Hide under the shade of green; “I can be a Kardashian”. “I don’t hate the hordes below. I’d just rather drink Merlot; Marinate in my sex appeal. I’ll forget what’s wrong and real”. Do you feel the shame (do you feel the shame)? Is it just the same ‘cause your big ol’ brain Made a couple of bucks? Still, you’re wanting more (now, you’re wanting more). So you open the door ‘till you fuel the floor With your subtle green luck. Can you see All your friends making dough? Make it rain or make it snow. How’s the water? Sign the check. Make a deal. “I’ll forget what’s wrong and real.” How’s the water? There you go again talking shit; Helter-Skelter politic. Hide under the shade of green; “I can be a Kardashian”. “I don’t hate the hordes below. I’d just rather drink Merlot; Marinate in my sex appeal. I’ll forget what’s real”. We don’t like (we don’t like) We don’t like (we don’t like) How we’re cooking (how we’re cooking). We don’t like (we don’t like); We don’t like (we don’t like) How we’re cooking (how we’re cooking).

Little One 03:29
See the storm. Let it come rush in. Little tear left your eye running. There’s a place in the sky said to have all that we need; That emotional right to belong. Little One, we’re alone on the face of the Earth. We’re just floating in space with the millions like us, dear. You belong. Little One, we’re alone on the face of the Earth. We’re just floating in space with the millions like us, dear. You belong. Growing up feels like free-falling. Fear and doubt have your name calling. There’s a place in the sky said to have all that we need; That emotional right to belong. Little One, we’re alone on the face of the Earth. We’re just floating in space with the millions like us, dear. You belong. Little One, we’re alone on the face of the Earth. We’re just floating in space with the millions like us, dear. You belong. My Little One, sometimes it hurts. We’re alone on the face of the Earth. There’s nothing but hope we all belong. We just float in space and when we’re done we fly, oh, fly away. When we’re done we fly, oh, fly away. When we’re done fly, oh. Little One, we’re alone on the face of the Earth. We’re just floating in space with the millions like us, dear. You belong. Little One, we’re alone on the face of the Earth. We’re just floating in space with the millions like us, dear. You belong.

Sweet Things 04:07
Well you say that nothing’s perfect. Well you said that nothing’s perfect except when I’m here with you. Does it feel right? (Does it feel right?) So, tell me three things; three words that you know about me. I’ll say. I’ll say “wont you come with me, baby?” Nothing lasts forever. It’s only now or never. Tell me sweet things; sweet things that you know about me. I’ll say. I’ll say “won’t you bury me, baby? Underneath our loving forever.” Don’t you take me; take me all the way and then erase me. I could be the one if you stay here Underneath our loving forever. So, take me home. Well you say that nothing matters. Well you said that nothing mattered except when I’m here with you. Does it feel right? (Does it feel right?) So, tell me three things; three words that you know about me. I’ll say. I’ll say “wont you come with me, baby?” Nothing lasts forever. It’s only now or never. Tell me sweet things; sweet things that you know about me. I’ll say. I’ll say “won’t you bury me, baby? Underneath our loving forever.

Another Try 02:45
Another day, another try. Sing your dreams a lullaby. Smoke another cigarette; Haven’t hit the filter yet. When will it burn? Don't wanna see you runnin’ in circles. It’s just the madness of reality Is that nothing really matters. So through the chaos sing your melody; Let it out. You’ll find everything you wanted. Another day, another try. Sing your tears a lullaby. Smoke another cigarette; Haven’t hit the filter yet. When will you learn? Dont wanna see you runnin’ in circles. Don’t wanna see you runnin’. It’s just the madness of reality Is that nothing really matters. So through the chaos sing your melody; Let it out. You’ll find everything you wanted. You’ll find everything you wanted. My thoughts recede in to all my habits; A kind of freedom that’s automatic. If I’m my keeper, will it matter? Will it matter? Does it matter? It’s just the madness of reality Is that nothing really matters. So through the chaos sing your melody; Let it out. You’ll find everything you wanted. It’s just the madness of reality Is that nothing really matters. So through the chaos sing your melody; Let it out. You’ll find everything you wanted. You’ll find everything you wanted. You’ll find everything. You’ll find everything.

Cold Turkey 02:35
God, this phone Pulling my leg to chew the bone; Entice me to Get one more plate of Chinese food. Heaven is closin’ fast on my fate. Maybe you call before it’s too late. Well, do you ever wonder? Do you ever wonder? It’s gonna take some time and space, honey. So when you go leave me alone. It’s gonna getcha high and low from me. So when you go leave me alone. I’m hungry, Getting so sick of cold turkey. I’m so alone. All of your words like sticks and stones. I must confess Life without you is such a mess. I hope it shows ‘Cause honey there’s just one thing I know: Heaven is closin’ fast on my fate. Maybe you call before it’s too late. Well, do you ever wonder? Do you ever wonder? It’s gonna take some time and space, honey. So, when you go leave me alone. It’s gonna getcha high and low from me. So, when you go leave me alone.

Tell me your secret; Maybe I’ll tell you mine, ‘Cause I’ve got a feelin’ something just ain’t right. I’ve been believing one day it’ll all be fine. So, give me a reason to stay here one more night. I got a lover’s heart but I walk vagabond directions. No, I don’t wanna start any place that’s away from you. So, I’ll be somewhere thinking about you And I hope you’re out there, thinking about me, too. We can wait till the end, ‘til I come back home again. And I know that one day I’ll be alone with you. Tell me your regrets; Maybe I’ll tell you mine ‘Cause I’ve been up reelin’. Something just ain’t right. Darlin’, I’m sleepless. Tossin’ and turnin’ all night To savor the feeling of your heart next to mine. I got a lover’s heart but I walk vagabond directions. No, I don’t wanna start any place that’s away from you. So, I’ll be somewhere thinking about you And I hope you’re out there, thinking about me, too. We can wait till the end, ‘til I come back home again. And I know that one day I’ll be alone with you. I got a million dreams but I’m blind to my own affection. Oh, when I fall apart, everything you can make anew. I got a lover’s heart but I walk vagabond directions. No, I don’t wanna start any place that’s away from you. So, I’ll be somewhere thinking about you And I hope you’re out there, thinking about me, too. We can wait till the end, ‘til I come back home again. And I know that one day I’ll be alone with you.

As a fire’s burning next to me I admire what I couldn’t be. Still, I wonder if I did enough. It’s a hard life to be giving up. Atom bomb, atta boy; Only gods can change the weather. Apathy over love; It’s a long way down together. (Woo!) Will we fall down? Ain’t it obvious. It’s a small town; we’re just audience. Will we ever see a victory? Is the right side where we’re history? Atom bomb, atta boy; Only gods can change the weather. Apathy over love; It’s a long way down together. It’s a long way down together. There’s a cold, cold flood coming up real soon. When we’re gone nothing will be left to bloom. Maybe gold can hold when the world is through But I’d rather spend more time with you. Atom bomb, atta boy; Only gods can change the weather. Apathy over love; It’s a long way down together. (Woo!) It’s a long way down together. It’s a long way down together.

Something about us feels so incomplete. Could it be bowing to power makes ails we’ll soon repeat? Now another year comes, another year goes; Suited up children making their foes. How do we stop the murder machine? Maybe it’s you and maybe it’s me. So, we’re all going nowhere And this life is so much better with you. So, we’re all going nowhere And this life is so much better with you. Oh, you and I; We’re just fighting for our place in the world. Oh, you and I; We’re just tryna find our place in the world. Something about it just don’t sit that right. As we feast, brothers devoured by bombs we drop at night. Now another year comes, another year goes; All the lost children trying to grow. How do we stop the murder machine? Maybe it’s you and maybe it’s me. So, we’re all going nowhere And this life is so much better with you. So, we’re all going nowhere And this life is so much better with you. Oh, you and I; We’re just fighting for our place in the world. Oh, you and I; We’re just tryna find our place in the world.

Do your worst. Say it first; I will reverse my face again. Hope you like the bottom where you’ll Do your worst. Well-rehearsed, repeat the verse of hate again, Right beneath the bottom where you Wound up on the floor Like you wanted to. Now, I thought you wanted more. Is this all that you could be? Tell me you wanted (tell me you wanted); Tell me you needed something more. Tell me you wanted (tell me you wanted); Tell me you needed something more. Do your worst. Fetch the hearse, and I will curse your name, again. Meet you at the bottom where you’ll. Do your worst. Drink your thirst to stop the hurt. Abate the end Hope you like the bottom where you Wound up on the floor (Wound up on the floor) Like you wanted to. Now, I thought you wanted more. (Thought you wanted more) Is this all that you could be? Tell me you wanted (tell me you wanted); Tell me you needed something more. Tell me you wanted (tell me you wanted); Tell me you needed something more. Ba, da, ba, da, bye, bye, bye. Ba, da, ba, da, bye, bye, bye. Ba, da, ba, da, bye, bye, bye. Ba, da, ba, da, bye, bye. Do it right. Let it clear your head in the night ‘til you wind up dead. So I found you on the floor (found you on the floor) Like you wanted to. Now, I thought you wanted more. (Thought you wanted more) Is this all that you could be? Tell me you wanted (tell me you wanted); Tell me you needed something more. Tell me you wanted (tell me you wanted); Tell me you needed something more.
