Mexico 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Mexico I lost my job And on my way home I bought a ticket And it’s on my telephone It’s that easy To get down to Mexico Screw the job Screw this place Screw your head Screw your face off down in Mexico Let’s all go to Mexico Don’t you want to go to Mexico? (yeah yeah) Life is simpler down in Mexico Do you want to go? Go down to Mexico You keep on running But you don’t know why You can’t keep up with me But you can try In Mexico Yeah running down to Mexico You can just tell me I can see it in your eyes What is meant to be Might make me cry Even Mexico Don’t you want to go down to Mexico? We can leave our troubles down in Mexico We can leave our worries down in Mexico Life is simpler down in Mexico Do you want to go? Let’s go to Mexico

Fork 03:44
lyrics

There’s a fork in the road It’s always been there so I’m told So they say anyway My only question today Is which way to go? There’s a fork it’s in the road There’s a fork it’s on my plate There’s a fork it’s in my head But I already ate I’ll be home real soon I’ve been up since noon Driving round the moon but I’m making up There’s a fork in the road It’s always been there so we’re told (Who said that?) (Not me) (I dunno) So they say anyway I don’t know which way for today I’ve got them choices that may Lead to this or to that I don’t know which way I should bat You’re throwing high and away So I say anyway We are the forks that we take everyday There’s a fork it’s in the road There’s a fork it’s on my plate There’s a fork it’s in my head But I already ate Don’t forget the knife and spoon Vacationing up on that moon This will all be over soon because I’m making up Making up my mind My friend Bob he used to say “we’re gonna jam it today, we’re making everything alright” Different Bob, different night Can’t you see he’s on his way to looping it all night, all night There’s a fork it’s in the road There’s a fork it’s on my plate There’s a fork it’s in my head But I already ate I’ll be home real soon I’ve been up since noon Driving round the moon but I’m making up my mind My mind

Got to Go 05:34
lyrics
buy track
A man he walks alone Amongst the paper men, he’s right on track He pulls the cover back to reveal That a broken heart surrounded can turn from red to burning black I got a long way to go To live inside my mind to find the highs are not the lows Don’t want to go there anymore The light to guide my night Is just a shadow in my mind but oh I reached that clearing in the distance We got to go We’ve got to go To put the fire out, The paper man ignites to find there’s little left behind. Don’t want to go there all alone Because the secrets that are on my mind They wear my soul, but I’m tired and beaten You’re up and down I’m up and leaving Stop turning me around oh but I… I reached that clearing in the distance I’ve got much to give much more to lose How could you make me choose The little that was left behind To help me ease my troubled mind Restore my soul from black to red Resolve that it was left unsaid To get through the low So I can get to the high, but I Got to go and I’ve got to go He put the fire out Paper man jump on the flames Stop drop roll all about I got something to say Whispered me his dying words and sent me on my way I’m old and broken I’m wiser still I’ll keep on going Going until We reach that clearing in the distance I’ve got to got to got to got to go The highs are not the lows The light to guide the night will satisfy my soul I’ve got a lot to show But I’ve got a ways to go And I’ve got to go

Pill 03:14
lyrics

Don’t know my medical history Don’t know my own biology But I do know there’s a pill for me Makes me be all I can be I got too much nasal allergy Not enough antihistamine If you’re gonna rewire my neurology That’s alright by me I know that something ain’t right With this situation There must be something very wrong with me I got all them symptoms I see on TV I go online and lookup webMD Self diagnosis that’s alright by me Turn on the TV and soon you will see There’s a whole new reality There’s too much mediocrity Not enough originality Can I get something To wash this down? This little pill takes its time to go down Something just ain’t right With this situation Don’t need nothing to wash this down Don’t need no pill turning my world upside-down I need something That’d be you Just tell me what am I gonna do? (hold on) For a little longer Just one more day Even though my heart knows that I can’t stay Tell me a little story Where in the end We don’t need no pills All we need is a good friend Something just ain’t right With this situation

On My Way 04:03
lyrics

Pick me up you can do it on the way I’ll fill you in, I’ll tell you about it on the way We’ll hitch a ride or maybe there’s another way out of here It beat me up and kicked me when I was on the ground It picked me up and lifted me right off the ground It can’t compare to all the love I ever found in the city I’m on my way home Gonna throw it away, every word I say Gonna find yourself run away And I’m lying you down And you’re turning around You don’t even make a sound I’m on my way home You got one barefoot Then the other You put them one after another And I say, you’re walking on your own Then we got you the telephone And you asked to be all alone and now I’m turning into an old man You got one barefoot Then the other You put them one after another And I say you’re walking on your own Step by step, near or far Where you go, who you are No matter where I’ll always be beside you I’m on my way back home

Lullaby 03:08
lyrics

Every day has a dawn Every day has a dusk For every man that’s born One day they turn to dust Every day seems long Every day seems unjust That’s why I wrote this song For one day die I must Yes I know That time’s moving on And I know The world is spinning on One day You and I will be gone That day They can sing along Every day has a dawn Every day has a dusk For every right that’s wrong For every might there’s just Forever and a day No matter what I say For it is up to you For what you’d like to do

Big Green Crayon 04:43

I got a big green crayon Somewhere in my room I said I got a big green crayon and I hope I find it soon I look I find but I never really see I’d like to be With my big green crayon But then again It seems to find me You know it seems to find me Maybe it melted in the sun Perhaps it vanished into nothing Maybe it got up and run All the while while it was laughing There is a place somewhere Where my lost things they go I’d like to know Where is my big green crayon But hey hey hey… somewhere in my mind I’ve got this friend who She likes her M and M’s And M and M and M and M’s She took the groove out of his pocket And laid it out upon the floor My friend better clean up her act She's got those peanut M and M’s all over her underwear drawer One day she finds out She’s gonna crucify me

Make a Sound 03:47

I’m in a cab going uptown Real dizzy looking all around A tree falls does it make a sound? In the woods I’m gonna get right into there If I can just get outta here I’m gonna play and run around I’m gonna make a sound (make a make a make a make a) I’m gonna yell into a microphone I gotta feeling that I’m not alone We’re eating chicken soup and rice-a-ron In the woods I got a decent place to party here We’re gonna make some noise and drink some beer Got a taste of it and turn around Make a sound We’re we’re going They can’t follow anyway And I meant to tell you I didn’t venture all this way Just for the music I came for you Alright alright alright

Lying You Down 05:22
lyrics

Sleep little one And I will tell you a story About love and glory There’s a Western town It’s very far from here Where the sunsets fall And the rainbows tear And the sun does shine Those rays of gold Telling me I’ll find My way back home Lie down, I’m lying you down Lie down, I’m lying you down I’m lying you… down There’s an Eastern town And we live here Where the birds don’t frown And the sun don’t fear This way of life Running through these veins And she will find My varied pains Don’t ever fall in love It’ll hurt one day Don’t do what I’ve done Only do what I say And I’ll be back One day you’ll see You’ll sing this song Right back to me Lie down, I’m lying you down Lie down, I’m lying you down I’m lying you… down Will you miss me when I’m gone asleep? Because I will miss you when you dream I will know if you are near or far I’ll just listen…… dream If you fall awake at night I’ll be there to hold you tight If you fall away from me I’ll be there to set you free If you want to come back home Always know you’re not alone Well I hope you fall in love It’ll hurt one day But it is only love And that’s all I’ve got to say Lie down, I’m lying you down Lie down, I’m lying you down I’m lying you… down

Far From Home 03:54
lyrics

I am understanding I am a wound that never heals Like a rock thrown into the ocean Contributions lost in rippled waves Away I am sinking Away are we keeping Away are you thinking Away are we going away? The day before yesterday reminds me That I oh I’m not alone The conversation stops and we both understand That we are all far from… Home It was the first week of University I was all alone it was a bit scary That first night alone It’s all gone that fear is my song I was alone all along Away are we running? Away are you gunning? Away are you thinking? Away are we keeping? Away are we sinking away? The day before yesterday reminds me That I oh I’m not alone The conversation stops, we both understand That we are all far from… take me home take me home take me home take me home

I’m on a subway And I’m coming on to you “No way” That’s the line from you I tip my cap You bat your eye Come on baby I’m a nice guy Union Square to twenty three That whole way You were making eyes at me It’s my stop I’ve got to go It’s your stop too? Well wouldn’t you know… I’ve always been the nice guy who finished last Now I’m gonna be the good guy and buck the past I sure did take a long way to get across town But then I never would have met you on my way going down… town We’re moving now We’re on our way We got the low down on the high line On a sunny day If you keep it true And you keep it real It’s why I’m frightened To tell you how I feel I’ve always been the nice guy who finished last Now I’m gonna be the good guy and buck the past I sure did take a long way to get across town But then I never would have met you on my way going down… They say the neon lights they shine on Broadway I’m on a Subway And I’m coming home to you I’m on my way I’m on my way back to you I know you’re on your way And I would like to say That you made my day Picking up the pieces (of my love) Drop down the pace (of this town) Closer the door and (open your eyes) and look around I’m going down going down downtown Then I never would have met you

The Beginning of The End 03:52

Time what we have is now Do all that you can You don't want to have to turn You can't go back again Turn this thing around Come ride the carousel It takes you round and round you know you can't go back again how far is the moon Are the aliens coming soon Am I already mechanized? You can't go back again Go on and on and on Fate turn its back on you Love is so untrue War there’s nothing you can do But but love your friends You can't go back again So live like you'll die someday Run as far as you can run Until you feel like stopping then keep going on and on and on Well every time, you know I get that feeling You know the one that makes you feel so alive When you feel the wind and see the stars up in the sky You need to find a way You need to find a way to carry on You gotta find a way You gotta find a way to carry on You’re gonna find a way You’re gonna find your way to carry on You’re gonna find a way You’re gonna find your way to carry on
