I Get You 02:55
Maybe you think I don’t wanna stay around here Maybe you think I will run away with your love But we’re not gonna break up… Cuz I know something good about your heart it’s deep and wide and warm like the ocean How can I keep myself together when you walk through My thoughts are feathers and they follow you out the room But I’m not gonna freak out … Cuz I know something good’s gonna start And it’s big high and wide and just like the sky I get you I get you I get you I get you I don’t know how much time we have left in this world We could be together forever as far as I’m concerned But I’m not gonna freak out … Cuz I know it was writ in the stars And it goes just as deep as you want it to I get you I get you I get you I get you I… I…

Bobby and Rita live in the city You know they’re just getting by Keeping the people entertained with their cam show One click at a time Rita’s gonna be in the movies someday Bobby’s gonna get her there But for right now the hours are good They got a room to share They ain’t got much but they gotta dream Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream Rita she moved away from her family The situation was bad In Poland the Catholics take it seriously Especially her dad Bobby was a bouncer in a night club but He didn’t like that scene So Bobby and Rita they became legends Of the tiny screen They ain’t got much but they gotta dream Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream They ain’t got much but they gotta dream Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream They saved up their money, moved to Toronto The movie industry there Their popular camshow still supporting their lifestyle They lived like millionaires Then she got a part in an independent movie Just had to make it seem Like she was as into it as she was with Bobby Oh yeah she nailed the scene They ain’t got much but they gotta dream Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream They ain’t got much but they gotta dream Oh they ain’t got much but they got a dream a dream A dream a dream A dream a dream A dream

Mr Universe Won’t you come and say hello We’ve been waiting How long you’ll never know The world seems weird without you But if you’d show up there’d never be any doubt Mr Gravity Won’t you ease up on me I would like to live In the top of a tree Things would be weird without you If you could take off we’d never have to fall down We’ve been in solitary for so long now And some sort of confirmation would be much better than these sacred cows Mr Gravity- Take it to the B Mr Dynamite- Come and see Just how incendiary this life can be Mr Universe - won’t you come and spend some energy On me Mr Universe - Come spend some time with me Oooh ooh ooh

I Was Moved 03:14
Nothing phases me I’m steady on my feet I can take most anything i keep my business in the street but when I looked at you and saw it in your eyes I tried to play it cool but… I was moved I was moved I was moved I was moved Oh yes i tried to play it cool play it cool but I was moved They say i got no conscience they say i’m too rational But i don't like nonsense I’ve been told that I’m ice cold But when I looked at you Saw it in your eyes I felt the heat come through I was moved I was moved I was moved I was moved Oh yes i tried to play it cool play it cool but I was moved But when I looked at you Saw it in your eyes Yeah I got shook by you I was moved I was moved I was moved I was moved Oh yes i tried to play it cool play it cool but I was moved I was moved I was moved I was moved I was moved Oh yes i tried to play it cool play it cool but I was moved

Tale of Woe 03:15
Woe Woe I’d like to sit out on the rocks and stare up at the trees The world is too fast for me And what would you do if I sat there so long That I turned into stone, would you still love me? You know Jonah was swallowed by the whale And trouble’s like a shadow over me I try to take it with me everywhere I go But noone wants to hear my tale of Woe Woe Everybody likes to tell you his own Make sure your keep talking fast Cause if the words keep flying nobody’ll have to know That you threw out the baby with the bath I set myself down on a park bench And start a-shoutin’ to the people walkin by I try to tell my story to everyone I know But noone wants to hear my tale of Woe My tale of woe Woe… Woe… But they’ll tell you their own Oh they’ll tell you their own They’ll tell you their own Even if nobody’s home Yeah I try to tell my story to everyone I now But noone wants to hear my tale of woe I try to tell my story to everyone I know But noone wants to hear my tale of woe I’d like to sit out on the rocks and stare up at the trees The world is too fast for me

Cleanup on 9 02:35
You left me last week And ever since then I’ve been Lonesome But I get up each day Put on my coat any my shoes Go down to my job And try to pretend that I’m happy I see lots of people But they just remind me of you (Ch) I stroll through produce And back to my office But sadness is my companion I mistreated you baby And I know that maybe You never do quite know where you’re standin’ Whoa and down by the checkout They’re changing shifts But I’ll be here for all time To keep myself sane Here I’ll remain And I’m sorry Cleanup on 9 The days go so slow As I wait for you to reply As that I change the paper I am always wondering why And down on aisle 9 The olive display’s just caved in Just like this feeling there’s no Putting back together again I stroll through produce And back to my office But sadness is my only friend I hurt you baby And I know that maybe You’ll never come and see me again Whoa and down by the checkout They’re changing shifts But I’ll be here for all time To keep myself sane Here I’ll remain And I’m sorry Cleanup on 9

My Companion 02:23
Death is my companion He travels at my side Sometimes I talk to him when I got no place to hide But he don’t scare me, not at all In fact it’s kinda nice Keeps me in the moment Gives me good advice (and) Everybody thinks he’ll never find them But you got an appointment don’t forget You just may be walking right behind him the road is long and he ain’t finished yet The gravel on the road Makes a grinding sound Sometimes it’s a rhythm Coming from the ground We’ve got our marching orders Toward that golden shore But when he cuts us down We ain’t a’marching anymore (and) Everybody thinks he’ll never find them But you got an appointment don’t forget You just may be walking right behind him the road is long and he ain’t finished yet Oblivion is waiting Just around the bend We May have time to understand Or it maybe it just ends There’s a moment that we’re living And it’s in the here and now Everytime i try to take it up It only brings me down (and) Everybody thinks he’ll never find them But you got an appointment don’t forget You just may be walking right behind him the road is long and he ain’t finished yet

Soon Again 03:55
Soon Again Things will be happenin’ We been in the hole so long Soon again L-L-L-Listentin’ I hear some noise is creeping in Something sneakin’ in around the door It’s coming in Nobody knows what it’s gonna be We’ll take it on and we will see Jump back in to the human race Look it right in the face With you Oh yeah Uh-huh Oh-woah-oh Oh yeah Uh-huh Free again Feel like we’ve been snowed in We’re gonna build Rome in a day Hustlin’ C-C-C-Cloudy Day Rested up and ready to play I wanna meet somebody new Do just like we used to do Nobody knows what it’s gonna be We’ll take it on and we will see Jump back in with eyes wide There’s no reason left to hide Away Nobody knows what it’s gonna be We’ll take it on and we will see Jump back in to the human race Look it right in the face With you Oh-woah-oh Oh yeah Uh-huh

I feel lonesome I feel blue It seems like the world is against me And it’s against you too and God’s gone out for cigarettes again he said he’ be right back but I’m still waiting for that feeling Seems like he’s hesitating ‘cuz God’s gone out for cigarettes again God’s gone out for cigarettes, out for cigarettes again Seems like the devil might be my only friend I feel lonesome I feel blue Seems like the world is against me And it’s against you too and God’s gone out for cigarettes again

I’d like to go back To the beginning Before I broke your heart And hurt your feelings A lot of wrong turns When you rewind You could get messed up Pick the wrong timeline I’d like to go back and fix all my mista-eeks But time goes back a long way Time goes back a long way Time goes back a long way Time goes back a long way I’ll get it right when I find the moment Though I may wander Lost in emotion If I could show you Just how you faded Only to come back Much overrated I’d like that to think that it’s all a game But i can't go back from where i came Time goes back a long way Time goes back a long way Yeah Time goes back a long way I found a penny Put it in my pocket I threw it in the river Forgot about it Only weighs you down So you can wish away What’s here tomorrow Is gone the next day I’d like to go back and fix all my mista-eeks But time goes back a long way Time goes back a long way Time goes back a long way Yeah Time goes back a long way What did I say Goes back a long long way Time Time Time Time Time Goes back, goes back
