VERSE I Too many exist out on the open water We‘re so motionless, how‘d you get so tired Oh you try your best but you find it‘s all for nothing You say hey now something don‘t sit right CHORUS They only come out at night VERSE II How many times will you let them run you empty How many times will you let them suck you dry Ah you try to rest but you know they come to find you You say hey hey man something don‘t sit right BRIDGE Relax, you‘re free to go Relax, you‘re not alone You‘d like to be yourself Sit back, we‘re here to help CHORUS They only come out at night OUTRO We waited too many years for the ones to follow Been drinking the water until you say Hey now maybe that‘s alright

ballad of nope she was a mystery we never did agree about the ups and the downs that went all over town so it seems life havin’ other plans i didn’t understand when you have time would you drop me a line or three it didn’t turn out the way i was hopin’ but it’s still all right with me jobs are mighty hard to find when you up and lost your mind who’s gonna hire a man who’s on fire at the seams boss said to take a day sleep away the mornin’ fade the pills and the bars and the sleepin in cars in my jeans it didn’t turn out the way i was hopin’ but it’s still all right with me i’m getting older son missing my only one she was the girl that collided my world so it seems i got the upper hand she found another man to fuss and to fight he’s playing right into her hands it didn’t turn out the way i was hopin’ but it’s still all right with me

SUZUKI DREAMS I was wasting all your time and all of mine Down for a minute with all your likes you’re lost in a city of timeless vice I was waiting for you but I couldn’t help but call Westayed at yours and I can’t believe I never left your side since I could dream But you can’t tell why I left But you were always down for another dance And we stayed right here at home And if we stayed right there too long I can’t believe I waiting longer than I ever had before No I can’t waste a minute, the tireless seconds of all of your life and all of you, precious But until you understand What you are and if I’m your man And if you can’t wonder why You will slowly pass me by for a chance

I'm just a poor boy Living frugally I see Mars on TV I see people happy I work fields with Blistered fingers I look starward That world has no place for me Red Mars The czars Live large Red Mars for the rich, rich Mars for the privileged Earth for the poor Mars terraforming slowly Earth has been deformed Just forget it, ya ain't coming here The ticket's too dear I stare sadly into my beer That world has no place for me Red Mars The czars Live large Red Mars for the rich, rich, rich Rich Red Mars The czars Live large Red Mars for the rich, rich, rich Rich

I'm working off my ass Every single day For the minimum wage And I don't get paid I don't have a house I can't pay the rent I'm sleeping on the floor in a car in a tent So I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed about money 'Cause I'm gacked on anger I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick 'Cause I'm gacked on anger I wanna help out the people on the street But how can I help them when I can't afford to eat How do I survive? How do I get by? I cant go to sleep 'cause there's trouble in my mind So I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick 'Cause I'm gacked on anger I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick 'Cause I'm gacked on anger Gacked on anger Gacked on anger Gacked on anger I'm stressed about money 'Cause I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick 'Cause I'm gacked on anger I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick I'm stressed on tick 'Cause I'm gacked on anger Gacked on anger Gacked on anger Gacked on anger Gacked on it

If you're looking for somebody who Will love you through the night And be there in the morning with The same look in their eyes If you're looking for somebody who Will listen to your thoughts And understand the way you feel With no words at all If you need appreciation Without compensation Someone to give you what you need If you're looking for some magic That will not end tragic Darling, all I ask is you consider me Consider me Consider me Consider me Won't you consider me? Consider me Consider me Consider me Won't you consider me? If you're looking for somebody who Don't judge you from your past And focuses on only things That help to make it last If you're looking for somebody who Will put up with your shit Can fight fire with fire Without burning you a bit Oh, if you want real attraction Beyond this skin we fashion Someone to set your spirit free Someone that you're obsessed with And that you feel blessed with Baby, all I ask is you consider me Consider me (Won't you consider me?) Consider me (Won't you consider me?) Consider me (Won't you consider me?) Won't you consider me? Consider me (Won't you consider me?) Consider me (Won't you consider me?) Consider me (Won't you consider me?) Won't you consider me? Ooh, baby don't delay it (Won't you consider me?) I'ma find a way (Won't you consider me?) To give you everything (Won't you consider me?) If you consider me And any time of day (Won't you consider me?) I'll be there right away (Won't you consider me?) Swear it on my grave (Won't you consider me?) If you consider me Ooh, darling Oh, yeah Won't you consider me?

Are you a lucid dream? That's what it seems I'm not really sure if it's real But I just got to say I found my way The forest got some magical feel, yeah You've got to color my life You've got to fill in my thoughts You've got to color my life (when the city's gone) You've got to fill in my thoughts (with the feels I'm on) Are you a lucid dream Or just a beam of light Shining on me? Or better yet the camera You press record Living in the playback we see You've got to color my life You've got to fill in my thoughts You've got to color my life (when the city's gone) You've got to fill in my thoughts (with the feels I'm on) With the feels I'm on With the feels I'm on Yeah, yeah You've got to color my life You've got to fill in my thoughts You've got to color my life (color my life) You've got to fill in my thoughts (fill in my thoughts) You've got to color my life (my life) You've got to fill in my thoughts (fill in my thoughts) You've got to color my life You've got to fill in my thoughts

Joseph - NYE 03:33
Dancing on New Year's Eve We're all here at the party I wish somebody would pour me a drink That I'll spill, make a mess of my dress It's just another night Dressed up in glitter such a pretty picture It's just another night Happy and sad Is it too much to ask for just one or the other? I don't really feel a whole year older now I'm still shaking but I'm bolder now I need you to hold me even closer now I know we'll make it another year But I don't know how Familiar arms around my waste The disco ball makes stars on your face We're making something good out of pain You and me and the rest of this mess It's just another night Dressed up in glitter such a pretty picture It's just another night Happy and sad Is it too much to ask for just one or the other? I don't really feel a whole year older now I'm still shaking but I'm bolder now I need you to hold me even closer now I know we'll make it another year But I don't know how

I've had nothing but trouble And bad news on the line for such a long time The only break I get Is laughing 'til my eyes are wet With you, you Won't you stay with me? I'll be on my best behavior When it all shakes down Who's the clown and who's the savior? Me, you, me, you Me, you Oh, here I go again Thumbin' through stacks of this and that Everything I find Reminds me of you, you Won't you stay with me? I'll be on my best behavior When it all shakes down Who's the clown and who's the savior? Me, you, me, you Me, you, me, you Me, you, me, you Me, you, me, you And just the thought of you Oh, needing something Makes me wanna do Anything and everything I just can't make sense Of being on the fence about you, not you Won't you stay with me? I'll be on my best behavior When it all shakes down Who's the clown and who's the savior? Stay with me I'll be on my best behavior When it all shakes down Who's the clown and who's the savior? Me, you, me, you Me, you, me, you Me, you, me, you Me, you

I've got a song on my heart, baby She keeps me grooving, steady grooving Got a lover on my mind That keeps me wanting, steady wanting more There's a fire, call the fireman If you're in pain, baby, call a doctor Don't be afraid to say "I need you" I will understand Baby love, pretty woman, walking down the way If you get tired use your soul power and you'll find the way And if there's a fire, call the fireman If you're in pain, baby, call the doctor Don't be afraid to say "I need you" I will understand Help me understand Oh, I long for your loving, I can't get enough When you tell me I can be there when you love again When there's a fire, call the fireman If there is a pain, baby, call the doctor Don't be afraid to say "I need you" I will understand Help me understand Alright, help me understand you Smooth, smooth sailing, when I understand Smooth, smooth sailing on the other side If there's a fire, call the fireman If you're in pain, baby, call a doctor Don't be afraid to say "I need you" I will understand

As we pulled into town there was a breakdown As the moonlight hit the town But it was High Noon in somebody's head Before the first boot hit the ground Spent the day in Cincinnati on the cell phone Trying to figure out the expense Stabbing fists into drawn-shade darkness Battered by experience There's something to be said for hangin' in there Past the point of hangin' 'round too long Hung out to dry or put away wet All the same when it all goes wrong It's all my fault, it's all my fault When you misconstrue the wonder and the shame All over town, my name's passed around 'Til you can't tell the darkness from the flame You can't tell the darkness from the flame I left my car at the airport And flew to Kansas City in the rain I know enough to know I'm standing here soaked And the weatherman's to blame I left the house empty after sunset With someone else to figure out the stains I take my responsibility For the darkness and the pain It's all my fault Everything's my fault Guess a butcher know how to trim the fat When it all comes down Armageddon's back in town You can't tell the rabbit from the hat You can't tell the rabbit from the hat The dye has been cast Symbolisms so pronounced There's nothing left to wonder or explain There'll be no healing From the art of double-dealing Armageddon's back in town again Armageddon's back in town again Armageddon's back in town again
