lyrics: It’s just a gut feeling I’ve got to be leaving I’ll take my car And I’ll see the stars In my car, well I won’t need you Or anything Twist the key, lurch forward Unsatisfied urge for To take too far And I’ll see the stars… Solo Verse to Chorus I scare too easy when I pump the gas And go too fast, help me I don’t like running, I just like to hide Behind the glass, help me Turn the wheel, sharp right and Fell right out of sight, man It’s au revoir...

And I--I couldn’t bear it when My mother said No I--I couldn’t beat it when When she said “We only love our dogs When we want to. We lose them in the fog.” I told her it’s not true, But she said “I know you, I know you do.” Uke riff And I--I could see her tears Could see her years Yes I--I could feel her tears Could feel her years Chorus and Riff extended She, she beside herself sighs Outside it’s cold She, she saw through this mist and left Forgets her coat Chorus and Riff extended (I know you do 3x)

I chase along a long unforgiving road She’d blaze ahead and then gasps out code My voice zigzags; nothing leaves my throat Just choke down dust; feel it coming close Growing older growing thin Knowing I can’t keep up with them Keep up with them Sweat floods my eyes again I can’t keep up Oooh, ooh, ooh … (2X) A pack of wolves, they gain on me And after all, my heart’s still meat My wave is opaque, nobody will see They nip at my heels as I retreat to dreams Growing older growing thin Knowing I can’t keep up with them Keep up with them Time and space just like plotting twins I can’t keep up Keep up with them Birth parts them and it begins Ooh…

Petrified by your slumber, and no doubt you’ll be shaking by the dawn-- milky with the hurt-- You hope for the even drone of a motor somewhere, hushed in distance, to soften worries. Honey for your psyche. But is the cold comfort of a white noise truly the lullaby? Or is it a mask, bland soundtrack, built to blur some bad dream?

He never sent her flowers by wire He said, “The spending comes in time… A little later, once I’ve made it out the red. Would you wait here while I scrape it by til then? He’s workin odd jobs, on and off til somethin comes up, and twiddlin his thumbs still workin odd jobs, on and on good God. Post chorus instr to post chorus vocal: And in the pink of health, very well read, he wanted something else, sure, someone else to be yeah yeah yeah Verse instrumental He’s workin’ odd jobs…(1.5x) He never left her flowers to dry and felt indulgence all the while. Is there no room left to love you, drowning here? Yeah there’s so few of those old truths, they’ve disappeared He’s workin odd jobs… (2x) Repeat post chorus

Film School 03:49
They framed our film thru tears We’re watching fairground mirrors here And on the cutting floor: Our stills and dust in years Giving birth or giving in? I couldn’t say, I can’t begin - it’s fear Instr Verse to “Giving birth…” to Chorus: Can’t tell your story or mine But you’ve told it thru time, you liar Can’t sell this snake oil as wine But you’ve sold it and dined, you coward It’s showing on all screens They’ve aired our fever dreams But once we turn our heads The thoughts fade black to green Giving birth… Instr. Chorus to Vocal Chorus

you don't think bout your room you think about the house and lonely, dusty broom and only then when done again you look up and see the moon save me, any everyone (repeat) devices built to better flaws will only serve to cause a war you’re lonely then when seen again, but chin up...remember stars? save me, any everyone (repeat 3x) Change is constant Yet I want it now Oh and how (ahh) And I can’t talk to Or flock to God, But it’s getting hot (ahh)

You couldn’t yet stand the light, let alone that dark of night, so ask yourself: What can you pay for the way a man lives? What can you pay for the way a man is? Step back now, breaths, Maybe this choir needs a good a-preachin’-to

Seas Away 03:26
Something’s wrong - and it’s been lifelong No, it’s been grand, and I should want for nothing, still Caught in the throngs, building your thrones Diggin the bones, some kind of sainted heathen, yeah But I just wanna go outside today I just wanna go outside The sun is still some star that is seas away I just wanna go outside Guess God was right, I’ve got no right I’ve got no answer for the only question still And now’s my time, now that I’m So wide-eyed just at that thought of heaven, but hell Chorus to Instr Chorus to Bridge: It’ll be no different than before I was born Couldn’t know this world, sure as hell won’t know home The fear serves no purpose, there was no surface, Death makes no difference, Lord But I don’t wanna go way up there today I don’t wanna go up above The sun is still some star that is seas away, I don’t wanna go up above

The feeling fades You know it comes in waves It waxes wanes It’s damning, then it saves The feeling fades It fades Ahh I’m reeling in thought of things past, of loves lost The ceiling caves in You can’t end where you begin Chorus Do lovers suffer and wander? I wonder Now Ch

We were wrong now, my dear Wrong all along So tell me now, do you have a better idea? Or a reason? What is carefree isn’t always good So go by foot And of course your wars will fill the books we burn Just a warning I have heard It’s all going to turn Turn around We were wrong now, my dear, But we’ll get along Along just fine now we find a kinder place I can say this I have heard…(2x) The whole world turns around
