Red-handed 02:39
Woke up this morning I had a plan but didn't know where it would take me Put on my shoes and Walked out the door to see what I could find I have to admit this I don't know exactly what I'm doing here I have to admit this Everything around me is changing You called my bluff I need you as much as the sky needs the rain Hey, love, I know it's been a long, long time since we first met But I have to tell you something I'm not well and I haven't been well for a long, long time And I don't think I'll get any better Unless, say, you were to love me You were to love me

Ophelia 04:39
"Why don't you come in?" I said to her "I have to tell you there's something wrong with me and I don't know what it is I know you're worried I know you're scared I know you're troubled but there's only one thing you need to hear Everything will be alright in time, in time Everything will be alright in time, in time They didn't tell me it would be this bad But now I know it is Maybe I'll make it Maybe I won't Maybe I'm already there and you just need to let me go Everything will be alright in time, in time Everything will be alright in time, in time If I close my eyes tonight Ophelia Will you say a prayer for me? Make it short, make it longer Make it whatever you want it to be Make it good, make it bad As long as you remember me Everything will be alright in time, in time Everything will be alright in time, in time"

Wasting Time 04:28
Hey babe, I know what you like Would you like to waste some time with me? Holding hands in the shadows Of the trees that we sit underneath Wintertime: the colors Fallin' from their leaves into your hair Make it red, make it white You could light up the sky when you stand there and Every day I spend with you It grows me younger every single time And, oh, I wish that I could Waste my days with you and make you mine You're beautiful And I'm sure it'll always be that way You're beautiful Stay with me for the rest of my days We could midnight it up in the park Under the stars with you wrapped in my arms Or we could do nothing Because nothing's better than something no good and Every day I spend with you It grows me younger every single time And, oh, I wish that I could Waste my days with you and make you mine How long must I wait for you? How much time must I waste for you? How good could I be for you? How will you know that I'm the best thing, best thing for you? And every day I spend with you It grows me younger every single time And, oh, I wish that I could Waste my days with you and make you mine

White Ribbon 06:18
Outside, your hands, torn red, but they've washed their hands of it No more, but you go on, your heart is still beating loud and clear And we've hung our heads for you And now there's a white ribbon hung where your head used to be Hung where your head used to be I turned the door to find you where I thought you'd never be Opened my eyes to much more Your laugh is gone where no one can find you And now there's a white ribbon hung where your head should be White ribbon hung where your head should be Outside, our hands, open wide to touch us all around No more yearning for judgement when we could all have peace And we've hung our heads for you And now there's a white ribbon hung where your head could be For you White ribbon hung where your head could be
6.
Little Thing 05:39
You've got quite the imagination Running through your head Thinking you could light up the world With the little thing you are You've got a little piece of something Stuck in your head Thinking your could pull the ship out of the water Look, now you're dead Now, I've got my limitations But you don't care for that Stretch your arms as wide as the world around And come back again You walk tall as the mountains You breathe far as the sea But your eyes still running in circles Dancing where your imaginations be You find me out of nowhere Running through my head Pass me by when I'm reeling about myself And it shakes me over Hey, won't you stop at the green light And take me around where The sun hits above my head and I Feel it shining down You're the sun in my world and It shakes me off my feet when you Come around and I find what I've been missing all along What makes you think of going Outside of your head? Find all of the cracks in the sidewalk And fill them in How do you keep from staying Inside the lines you're in Cut me down with your imagination And it shakes me over Hey, won't you stop at the green light And take me around where The sun hits above my head and I Feel it shining down You're the sun in my world and It shakes me off my feet when you Come around and I find what I've been missing all along
7.
Your Wings 04:23
You got me wrapped in your wings Fairy tales and fluffy white things Fly away with me to the moon We don't have to come back soon It's so hard to get along Always knowing your gone So tie me up in your balloon We don't have to come back soon All day I wait for you My love won't break for you I'll give my name to you If you'll say You'll carry me along the road And help me find my way home And pick me up when I am blue Then you'll be mine forever, too Sometimes it's hard to hold My love for you in my soul But always with you I know You'll say You'll wrap me up in your wings Fairy tales and fluffy white things And fly away with me to the moon We don't have to come back soon

Mr. Jones 06:41
They say Mr. Jones isn't doing so well Well, I haven't seen him so long, I couldn't tell He used to be my best friend, my old pal I wonder what's happened since then, what's happened to him now So, hey Mr. Jones It's been a long, long time and I haven't seen you Why don't you come around and talk, talk to me? I remember some days back a here or two We'd sit around and talk about what we knew Those days, they were many, but know he has few I must have missed something important, I wish I had been there, been there to see it So, hey Mr. Jones It's been a long, long time and I haven't seen you Why don't you come around and talk, talk to me? I have fond memories of sitting on park benched, talking about summer I have hundreds of photographs hanging on my walls I have shoeboxes filled with ticket stubs and postcards I had a friend So tell me where I can go to see him So I can say sorry for taking so long I found his picture in yesterday's paper I hope it's not too late to tell you how I feel So, hey Mr. Jones It's been a long, long time and I should have come to see you I want you to know that lately you've been talking to me Hey, Mr. Jones I hope it's not to late to tell you I've missed you I want you to know you were always a good friend to me

I was out for a walk No time, no talk I was just trying to get myself away I was taking a little ride I was just trying to get myself outside On an ordinary day You were a t-shirt on Leg for every hour that the day is long My, oh, my, I would take you on if you let me have my way You were a bombshell blast Swingin' those hips and shakin' that ass You're letting me know it's a damn good thing I got out of bed today Maybe we could dance if you wanted to Maybe take you home if you let me do Girl, 'cause I'm feeling on only you today We could get down if you wanted to I could shake your bones if you let me through Maybe you could show me you're something new if you come around my way I know, you know, that everything's gonna be all right now I know, you know, that everything's gonna be all right now I was playing in the sand Picking out crust from the palm of my hand A small reminder that I'm alive I was catching the sun Ain't no clouds on a day for fun And no rain to keep me from staying dry You were a summertime song Shorts cut high with no shoes on I couldn't let you pass me by today You were licking your lips I'd walk on you with my fingertips Good God, I gotta thank the Lord for making you this way Take you back home 'cause I wanted to Put on my best for only you Oh, girl, you know that when I'm through you're mine How you like that on top of you? Start up again 'cause you want me to I really don't care just how we do as long as I get inside I know, you know, that everything's gonna be all right now I know, you know, that everything's gonna be all right now

Tomorrow 05:15
Come a little closer to me baby I wanna smell the sweat on you Come a little closer to me baby I wanna taste the smile off you tonight Come a little closer to me baby Blind me with your voice Come a little closer to me baby And let me sing this song for you tonight And come away We'll go dancing, dancing in the rain Tomorrow, let it wash our troubles away We are Who we are And we are In love So come over here And whisper in my ear And tell me Tell me that you love me tonight And come away We'll go dancing, dancing in the rain Tomorrow, let it wash our troubles away While it's pouring outside I've got us a fire burning bright for you Splash into puddles Take off your shoes and let it wash it all away Clouds may be dark right But that's okay Take off your shoes and wash it all away I hear you outside baby Calling to come out to you While raindrops fall on your head, your feet Sounds like maybe I'll have to While it's pouring outside Take my hand and we'll go dancing 'Til streetlights go down But we're still up Clouds may be dark right? But that's okay Take off your shoes and wash it all away Wash it all away

Marmalade the cat, chases a yellow leaf in front of piles of leaves as I raked Under legs and trees she finds a wolly worm and chases the wolly worm away Marmalade the cat, she says she doesn't want it, only wants the leaf that she was chasing before I know that I can't help her find her leaf but I know when she's done, I'll say to her Marmalade can we be friends forever? And we can chase leaves and chase wolly worms away I know it might be hard 'cause you're a cat and I'm a person But Marmalade I love you Marmalade the cat, awake outside my window, scratching at the glass, it's time for me to wake up The picnic is already in the basket but Marmalade needs food as well Marmalade the cat, she says she doesn't want it, only wants the food that I am eating too I'll take her with me in the picnic basket and I know when we're done I'll say to her Marmalade can we be friends forever and we can go on picnics every single day I know it might be hard 'cause you're a cat and I'm a person But Marmalade I love you Marmalade can we be friends forever? And we can chase leaves and chase wolly worms away I know it might be hard 'cause you're a cat and I'm a person But Marmalade I love you Marmalade can we be friends forever and we can go on picnics every single day I know it might be hard 'cause you're a cat and I'm a person But Marmalade I love you

Reaper 05:42
My feet are on the ground Eyes up, my open, taste in the sun And look at me now FInd out what all was said and done And I feel it out Feel up my problems to the bone I move around somehow Waiting for my six feet to be dug out Why so low? The world's still turning, why are you so down? Why so slow? You can take your time, but the world's still turning, turning 'Round, sun up sun down, days pas you by And look at you now All this daylight and you're buried six feet underground What is it like Living life always on your feet? And what is it like All the time worrying about what you need? You wanted the sun So she came down from above You wanted the sun But what you found out was all you needed was this Love in your life Love before you die Love you can give Love from my head And let it pour from my hands And let it rain down over you I will when I can I will when I can Think about your life It's hot outside, why do you act so cold? Come out from inside Come out while you're young before you get too old FIll up your heart Fill your head and cover your bones Let's start at the start Before too long you'll find you way back to the Love in your life Love before you die Love you can give Love from my head And let it pour from my hands And let it rain down over you I will when I can I will when I can

I packed my bags the other night I thought I heard you crying out my car's back right window Check my mirror tonight I knew the things that you were saying Right up to departure were the truth But it's hard for me too. You say, you say, you say That we can work it out and I don't have to go But I know that's no-can-do. So when I go, please don't follow me We both know that we need Space and time to recover from what just happened here I know you want to come, but stay and remember the two things That I said to you last night before I turned out the light I said "I love you" I said "I love you" And I meant it It's hard for you right now But sooner or later you'll see that something happened between us For the good "For the good?" you say, "It can't be that way you're leaving, leaving me here all alone, Please turn on your phone Every once in a while so I can call and Tell you 'I love you' or maybe we could just talk..." Listen, when I go, please don't follow me We both know we need some Space and time to recover from what just happened here I know you want to cry, but hold back your tears and remember the two things That I said to you last night before I turned out the light I said "I love you" I said "I love you" And I meant it We had a good run for our day I know right now that it's hard to believe that But it's true But don't misconstrue what I'mm saying We're not meant to be together, but I'll always think about you I'll always think about you You say, you say, you say "I've lost count of the days and how many times you've done this. And things have always worked out between us." But hold on, you gotta understand that this time something happened between us So when I go, please don't follow me We both know that we need some Space and time to recover from what just happened here I know right now you feel like you wanna die but hold off that thought and remember two things I said to you last night before I turned off the light I said "I love you" I said "I love you" And I meant it

Here I go again I dance across the world just to meet you I think time has proved me well And I think I've put on a pretty good show And we know how the world loves their shows And if you should leave me I'll rest in knowing that I Bounced around the world for a little while On your time

It's Lynn, the cracksmoking bus driver She's higher than the clouds It's Lynn, the cracksmoking bus driver She's higher than, higher than me. And I smoke two pounds a day from my purple bong Lynn, she drives a school bus And on two wheels she rides Lynn, when she drives on the freeway It feels like we're falling off the side It's Lynn, the cracksmoking bus driver She's higher than the birds It's Lynn, the cracksmoking bus driver She's higher than, higher than me. And I just bought another dime bag from the hobo off the street Lynn, when she drives It's like we're on the race track Lynn, sometimes I think she smokes More than just crack Lynn, Lynn Lynn, Lynn Sit, sit down, she says Sit, sit down, she says Sit, sit down, she says Sit, sit down, she says Don't write on the seats or you'll get written up But she never catches me, she don't give a fuck, yeah! She never wears color, she only wears black So you give her the middle finger when she turns her back to us! It's Lynn, the cracksmoking bus driver She's higher than the clouds It's Lynn, the cracksmoking bus driver She's higher than, higher than me.
