Everyday
Your voice is my soundtrack
As I lay my eyes upon a fiction that I wrote
A fraction of a fiction
Sheets of paper fill my empty room
Stories about you
About what I feel
But what if it's not real?
What if it's not real?
The walls are thin
I hear everything you do
It makes me wonder why I pay attention
It’s a question of attraction
Sheets of paper fill my empty room
Stories about you
But what if it was real?
What if it was real?

Action Behind Walls
03:52
|

|
She woke up late again today
Missed the bus that takes her away
Every morning
But it's ok there is one other
She'll have to skip her breakfast
That's how the day begins for Mrs. Thomas
Her kids are off to school
And M. Thomas never came back home yesterday
The day begins for me as well
Too much coffee so my hands are shaking
They always do
I wait and hear the action
Live and clear behind my bedroom wall
Then she came back from work in tears
It woke me up, it sounded like the world was ending tomorrow
I did not hear her children's voices
They might have gone to sleep
Their babysitter took twenty and she was gone
I don't know if she knows I know
But M. Thomas seems to be the cause
I don't know if she knows I know
I know you know, I know you know...

The Traveler
03:14
|

|
I race around the world
As I lay sleeping on my bed
I'd rather dream than use my legs
I don't get tired in my head
Oh never
I've seen a thousand places
From a thousand books I have read
And I pretend I took the pictures
And wrote the books as well
Oh yeah
I’m the best at doing nothing
I don’t need to wake
I don’t need transportation
I learned to fly all by myself
It’s just so difficult to land
I would stay above your heads
Forever
Sometimes I feel like going out
Sometimes I wonder where I am
I made myself a clean new version
Of the life that I once lead
Oh yeah
I’m the worst at doing something
And I don’t really care

Lady K
03:10
|

|
All those people, they were implicated in the lies of M. Frank
Innocent but careful 'bout the way he penetrated what was theirs
No one understands, the mess I'm in
He translates truth to lies; I don't know why I could not see it in his eyes
He pushes the limits too far, like others I've fallen in, he's sick and blind
No one understands, but they'll soon find out
Oh wait, there's Lady K., who has been his mate
I guess I'm lucky, I might be saved
‘Cause she's got all the answers Lady K.
Bad communications, false accusations, in probation all the time
Everybody wonders, a dozen I've heard, how can't he settle down a while
No one understands the state he's in
No one understands the state he's in
Oh wait, there's Lady K., who has been his mate
I guess I'm lucky, I might be saved
‘Cause she's got all the answers Lady K.

I Don't Know
02:49

|
The people I see from my window
They don't know, no no no
My tears turn to snow ‘cause I'm cold
They don't know, no no no
I might have lost myself in my own room
My heart is freezing; I'll fall asleep soon
Why can't she stop her crying?
I don't know, no no no
Does she see that I'm crying too?
I don't know, no no no
I think I forgot how bad love could be
I'm a witness of things I don't see
Why can't I find a way to forget her?
I don't know, no no no
Does she make me feel better?
I don't know, no no no
I should have ran away far from here
I fear my feelings will soon disappear

The Death Of Mr. Thomas
03:44

Mrs. Thomas!
Have you read the news today?
Did you know that everybody was confused?
About the way they found your husband dead?
Don't believe a word they said
Mrs. Thomas
Don't you keep your tears inside
I wonder if you ever cried once in your life
You may be strong but sometimes it doesn't help
You're going to make the children cry
Oh Mrs. Thomas
There's a life ahead of you
Should I be telling you to leave or join the fair?
Perhaps you could find someone else there
Or sit and watch the children play
In the park
Mrs. Thomas
Don't let the world fall down on you
The guy you married was a crook, he didn't tell
There's nothing you can do about it now
Forget the things that made you doubt
About everything

Goodnight
02:55
|
|||
|
Every time it’s hard to say goodnight
I would stay but I would waste my time
And I walk home alone
Wondering what is wrong
Guilty pleasure, bodies unsatisfied
Underneath there's more than meets the eye
And I dream that you’re mine
But I can't cross that line
In my dreams I kiss you all the time
In my dreams I'm strong enough to die
And night after night
I fix myself a life
Every time it’s hard to say goodnight
I would stay but I would waste my time
And I walk alone
Wondering what is wrong... what is right…

|
Don't ever forget who you are
If Life's a play, you got your part
Don't feel neglected by the stars
If you got blanks just read the cards
"I have stage fright,
And I'm blinded by the lights
What are the curtains waiting for?"
Nobody's going to leave the hall
It's been a great tale from the start

The Getaway
03:03
|
|||
|
We must leave before dawn
Cash in hand; leave the place that we all shared
Run as fast as we can
Across the city that is sleeping
It’s almost 5 a.m.
And the sun tells the moon to go away
As we reach for the car to escape
Twenty hours from succeeding
We must cross where the desert meets the sky
Get some sleep while I’m driving
I will wake you in the morning
We’ll find a place to hide
And the car needs more and more gasoline
As we roll far away from the scene

Lorne Toffer
02:46
|
|||
|
Lorne Toffer was out of control
He gave his soul and took his silver gun
Having so much on his mind
He kept his finger on the trigger
Without chills down his spine
He was ready for a crime
The locals feared the worst in him
No one up against his will
The sun went down and he appeared
Fearless soldier on a mission
As the targets disappeared
He got one shot in the back
Nobody knows who shot the beast
The unknown hero never claimed his kill
The legend has to be revealed
Who killed Toffer, was it vengeance?
Is it worse to fear the beast?
Or worse to fear the hunter?
"It's probably an act of God"
"He sent us angels to redeem us all"
"But since when God uses guns?"
Few people had their answers
This is not hard to believe
We've killed in his name before
Lorne Toffer never bothered them again
He never woke up from his grave
Instead of searching for the man
They thanked the lord and his great wisdom
But the killings carried on
The shadow was the king in town

Sarah B.
03:57
|

|
Is she real, is she real?
Is she talking to me?
That's what I was thinking
When I met with Sarah B.
People stared, people cared
‘Cause she was sitting next to me
She was fine, out of time
A glass of wine with Sarah B.
Do you know how it feels?
To get down on your knees
And give your heart away?
There's nothing you can say
Sarah B, Sarah B.
Please come back to me
Life loses its taste
Without Sarah B.
We went out on the street
And the game had just begun
I barely could stand on my feet
But she was happy in my arms
Took a cab and went home
Sang along to Neil Young's songs
We smoked too much, but it was fun
I watched her sleeping until dawn

Room For Two
03:06
|
|||
|
I must go
I must leave ‘cause I've been hurt before
No more hopes
Don't have time to waste on knocking on your door
Left the flowers dying on the floor
I'm tired
Tired of feeling left behind, alone with my desires
It's a shame you always choose to run away from me
So many other things I'd rather see
I could have spend my life with you
Face the world with nothing to lose
Leave the country, room for two
I could have spend my life with you
Now it’s gone
Forget about the promises I've made, there's nothing done
Take away the bets; the game is off ‘cause you have won
I've never been a player anyway
There's too much pain involved these days

Sister Failure

Sister Failure
Now you're doing fine
You broke the heart of many guys
And you wonder why you're so alone
You lost your cool
Celebrating your victories too soon
Sister Failure
Time is running fast
Your cigarette is burning out
You're waiting for the phone to ring again
But you wait in vain
Making up false stories in your head
I remember
You looked so amused
To watch your minions being used
Collecting kisses from another bird
You get what you deserve
You'll get what you deserve
Sister Failure
Everyone's ashamed
And you're the only one to blame
It's not too late to set the whole thing right
Take down your kite
Your eyes tell me you've given up the fight
Sister Failure
Like a star you shine
Your pretty face won't leave their mind
You’ve got to make up for the mess you've made
Give up your fame
Sister failure do you understand?
Sister Failure now you're going down
