Left behind me a trail of broken bottles.
Lived my life at full, full throttle
Never did mean to let you down.
I'll be standin' 'til I hit the ground

Get It Right
On the outskirts «a» Kansas City / On a non stop northbound train
Old poet pours his heart out / An he struggles with his pain
Watch his world flash by his window / Like the minutes of his life
All the horrible decisions / That he tries to justify
ll: Gonna get it right, Gonna get it right this time :ll
Many years that have whittled valleys / Like the wrinkles that are on his face
All the questions without answers / That he scribbles down in haste
Is that a whistle I hear howlin' / or Grim Reaper callin' me
Will I end face down like Allan Poe ? / Can I change my destiny ?
ll: Gonna get it right, Gonna get it right this time :ll
You know, Life's like a one way ticket / Everybody gotta walk the line
All the trials and tribulation / Gonna be an Uphill climb -
If the last train leaves you standing / At the station late at night
Well the next one might not pick you up / So you better get it right

Celebration

Lexington is lost, whispering goodbye
Long distance mem'ry, like a Catcher in the Rye.
Long lost yea.
Don't you try to come too close, share your sunny sympathy
Take a fiver in the gut. Double dose of misery.
Long lost yea.
Pré-Ref: Where are you? Where'd you go?
Gonna travel the four corners 'cause I gotta get you back.
Ref:
Celebration when I hear that you are callin'. Appalachian
Celebration when your muddy waters cover. Revelation
***
Celebration when I hear that you are callin'. You are callin', You are callin'
*** Celebration when I let myself go under Fascination
Couldn't stop myself from cryin', day that Eddie passed away.
Looked all over Massachussettes to the San Francisco Bay
Couldn't stop yea.
Darlin' why you worry, gonna catch you when you fall
Don't be sad that I don't love you, don't love anything at all
Couldn't stop yea.

Love, Life & Enemies

Turn the volume up my dear
They're playin' a song that I always love to hear.
Raise your fist and sing along
Just for one night at least tonight we belong.
Light up a candle, say your prayers and cast a spell.
Probably disagree 'cause you don't know me very well
Aces are high, Jacks are wild
Slumber softens me, and age has turned me mild.
Love, Life and Enemies
If you got yourself a little, you got more than you need.
Superstition, fairytales, happy ends
That's the way it goes and No, we can't be friends.
Playing games of waking dreams
Don't you hold it against me, if I hurt your self estime
Refrain
We make music, we make love and we dance. Post Ref/Outro : Prosperity
Takin' all we can 'cause there won't be another chance.
No escaping Overload Tragedy
I love you so much I swear my Heart just might explode
Love, life & Felony
Love, life, Hostility
Love, life, Philosophy
If you got yourself a little you got more than you need.
More than you need.

I was shakin' like a leaf when I wrote it all down
Scared I wouldn't find the words but you never let me down
I had to get up off my knees, no more beggin' darlin' please.
You're the cure to all my pain and I'm never goin' back again
I was daring and determined but I never took a chance.
Ain't got the smoothest moves makes you giggle when I dance
Ya Got me standing up to giants, feelin' good and I don't wanna deny
The Grass ain't greener anymore an' I'm not feelin' so insecure.
You make the sun shine brighter, hold my head a little higher, ooh oOoh.
You take the world off of my shoulders make me feel a little bolder, ooh oOoh.
You make me feel better, than I am
I was working like a dog thought I'd never make it out
Cant' believe just what I've won, Guess that I should take a bow.
I'm no longer knees, no more beggin' darlin' won't you please.
You're the cure to all my pain and I'm never goin' back again

A While

All those long lonely nights – You were holdin' my hand
I would have promised you forever – or take you to the promise land.
Hold on tight to every second – make the hurt go away
Keep that little fire burning – Don't you let it blow away
Pré-Ref : But it might take little a while – a while – might take a little while – a while. [a little while]
Réfrain : I try to make you laugh
I try to make you smile
Wanna make it all better
And it rips me to pieces watchin' innocence die
Watching innocence die… come take my hand
Speak your own quiet truth – Lay your thoughts on my ear
Let me hear your sweet heart beating – Let me chase away your fears.

To Be Alive

You fell and scratched your hands on the fragments of your life.
Nobody saved your place on the podium divine.
Your heart is bleeding and it weighs a million pounds.
You might feel better when the morning comes around.
Like a smack, on your face
Like a face with weary eyes.
Like the moment that the truth smashes through.
When you finally realise (what it's like to be alive)
Now you know what it means to be alive.
All the hurt that it takes to get by.
You'll never get one more chance to try.
Now you know what it means to be alive. To Be Alive
I tried to warn you 'bout the dangers up ahead.
But I was a little too late and you took the fall instead.
So now you lick your wounds and you tell me how it aches.
Let that be a lesson, we all make the same mistakes.
