2.Desperately Wanting
written：kevin griffin
Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out the lights
Though they say you'll never know
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
When they pumped out your guts
Filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again.
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Well they'll say you won the war.
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
Oh, the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We'll find the door if you care to anymore.
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting.
3.Happy Endings
written：kevin griffin
And though you will say i'm wrong.
It's much easier with you along.
Sundays were made for this.
Seeing bond give the villain a kiss
Holding your face in the glow
Play on, play on
Happy endings
I thought that you'd like to know.
I'm finally letting her go.
You always said, 'tell me when. . .
You're ready at last to begin.'
Learning to chance it again
Play on, play on
Happy endings
So let them all dissolve
And welcome a new resolve
Here's where the credits run
Riding off into the sun
And love is real
Reading your eyes in the glow
Play on, play on
Happy endings
4.Hung The Moon
written：kevin griffin
They say you're off
(a bit confused)
But when the day is done
I'll be with you
I like your eyes
They say you're true
The others whisper and lie
And you framed the sun
Shot out the stars
You paled the sky
And hung the moon
They say, 'your loss'
That your mind's diseased
But when you've finally won,
Tell me who always believed
And you framed the sun
Shot out the stars
You paled the sky
And hung the moon
Down way low
They never remember
Down way low
Down way low
You always remember
Don't let the words you hear
Leave your head.
The say you're gone
That you left today
But if you change your mind
Know i still feel that same way
And you framed the sun
Shot out the stars
You paled the sky
And hung the moon
5.King Of New Orleans
written：kevin griffin
Got an angel on the stairs
As if you'd even care
When the lights are up
And the sun had nearly gone... down
Did you see him on the street
Did you pass him at your feet
Did you think at all
How dare they even look me in the eye
And he loves the girls
And he loves the boys
Gonna make
Twenty dollars 'fore the weekend's over
So set him up
Then let him fall
Turn him over in your hands
God save the king of new orleans
Got a ticket to a show
Did you see him take a blow
When the drunk one said
Cat stevens was the greatest singer
Did you kick him in the head
Did you see the blood run down
Did you laugh at all
When the people walked right by and said aloud
Gutter punks, you're all the same
Gonna make
Twenty dollars 'fore the weekend's over
So set him up
Then let him fall
Turn him over in your hands
God save the king of new orleans
Set him up
Let him fall
Turn him over in your hands
God save the king of new orleans
Radio in my head
Radio in my car
Goin' down again
He's goin' down... again
Any way you look
Any way you talk it over
It's easier
To let it slip out of your mind
But it rips your heart out
Then it kicks your head in
Wouldja you give him one more chance
Try and see the beauty in his world
All the way in on my hands
In on my feet and shoulders
Gonna make
Twenty dollars 'fore the weekends over
So set him up
Then let him fall
Turn him over in your hands
God save the king of new orleans
Set him up
Then let him fall
Turn him over in your hands
God save the king of new orleans
Yeah
6.Long Lost
written：kevin griffin
Are you lost？
Do you find life turning out
Not quite the way you planned？
Come around stay awhile
That's okay
That's all right
Couldn't get to sleep so talk about it.
Let's talk about it right now.
Here it comes on my head again
I guess i'm born to be the long lost friend.
(a-woo-oooh)
Friend
Long lost friend
Are you cold？
Is there no place better, safer, friendlier than this？
Call me up, i'm alone.
That's okay
That's all right
Rather it be me than go without it
So don't think about it right now.
Here it comes on my head again
I guess i'm born to be the long lost friend
(a-woo-ooh-hooo)
Friend
Long lost friend
I've given ballast
Held you up when you were falling down
What happens when i'm not around？
Friend？
Friend？
Long lost friend.
7.Normal Town
written：kevin griffin
I still remember you dressed in grey.
Working undercover for the cia
You were cursing silber
Living in back bay
Sailing on the charles when i heard you say
Let's go down to normal town
Right now
Down, down, down
I washed you lover and scrubbed your face
Running from miss porter's you showed up one day
From a flat in south end where you made me strong
You said, 'we're burning out at both ends.'
So i came along.
Let's go down to normal town
Right now
Down, down, down
Hey! wouldn't it be great
To never worry 'bout your future, never asking why？
Hey! hey!
In a subdivision
Watching television
And our lives go by.
Let's go down to normal town.
Let's go down to normal town.
Right now
Down, down, down....
8.Return Of The Postmoderns
written：kevin griffin
Ten-cent lovers
Beneath the covers
Riding on a wet dream
Silver tonic free
High stool sweet tarts
Equipped with green cards
Chomp their 401k's
Semi-chocolate brie
Digging in las cruces
For an army drab container
Carbon dating clothes
For the last time they were washed
Shelby and sheila
Onomatopoeia
Catch hang nail on banlon
Shiver martin sheen
Preschool mothers
In technicolor
Are fire-bombing dresden
Stanton, harry dean
Feeding line caught tuna
To a neutered bodhisattva
Writhing peaches for the president
Out on the white house lawn
Beating herbert hoover
With a leather tipped pita
Thorn and katy drink the milk
Tinted amerasian green
Return, return, return
9.Rewind
written：kevin griffin
Cut a tape of my favorite songs
Said what i can't face to face
I hoped that you would share all my thoughts
We are young and unimpressed,
With all you'd recognize.
So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind
In my care we are superstars
Run you lipstick down your chin
While up ahead we saw such a crash
Right there a song became a soundtrack
For this space in time.
So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind
Wonder is often lost
Jaded at such a cost
Age undermines you when you close your eyes.
We pass right by you.
So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing
But a mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind.
Rewind.
Yeah-eh-eh-eh-heh.
10.Scared, Are You？
written：kevin griffin
Strong hands
Big plans
All reduced to this.
Hard won freedom
How could you have missed？
Scared, are you？
You do it on your own
You do it all alone.
We all did.
Scared, are you？
Half the lines we make up dear
The best that we can do.
Everything you would be
Passed you like a ghost.
And kind words are scarce at best
When you need them the most.
Scared, are you？
You do it on your own
We all did.
Scared, are you？
Half the lines you make up here.
The best that we can do.
Hope brings you luck
Doors open up.
And if you should fall,
I'll catch you dear.
It must be!
It must be!
Scared, are you？
Finally on your own
You do it all alone
We all did
Scared, are you？
Half the lines you make up dear.
The best that we can do
And we do....
11.Speeding Up To Slow Down
written：kevin griffin
If they calm you down,
Then excite them
If they call you out,
Then ignore them.
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down
When they all believe,
You reject it.
When they all are for,
Be against it.
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down
If they call you out
They will tear you down
When your world falls in
Then they'll leave you dry
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down
Down, down, down
12.Still Life With Cooley
written：kevin griffin
Everybody talking saying you will be walking
This neighborhood will never be the same
You said we'd understand
You found out what's happening now
So we all sat down and you broke the news
Now daddy don't love her anymore
It's still life with cooley
Now daddy don't love her anymore
It's just still life with cooley
All your friends show on time
They come in bringing red wine
You said if it's over then we'll go in style
You better best take care keep one hand to your ear
So you're not left hanging when they're finally gone
Now daddy don't love her anymore
It's still life with cooley
Now daddy don't love her anymore
It's just still life with cooley
Whatcha' saying？
You're going to stay of at st. madigan's？
(reeled in again)
You're just fooling around fooling around, yeah
People hanging with their good friends
Listening to those old songs
Now daddy don't love her anymore.
It's still life with cooley
Now daddy don't love her anymore.
It's just still life
It's just still life with cooley.
13.Wwoz
written：kevin griffin
Wwoz is on in stereo
A string of flowers haloed around your head
Candle light
Ceiling fan
Curtains blow away and back again
Back again
Don't wake me, i think i'm in a dream
Sleeping is easy
I used to lay in bed for hours
I've waited a lifetime now maybe i'll learn
Calling back and forth through heavy air
The barges sound their warnings in the dark
Peace comes like a trusted friend
As it starts to rain again fall away
Fall away
So don't wake me i think, i'm in a dream
Sleeping is easy
I used to lay in bed for hours
I've waited a lifetime now maybe i'll learn
Sleeping is easy
I used to walk the streets for hours
I've waited a lifetime now maybe i'll learn
Let go of your fear, let's grow old together
Find a place along the way
Let's reel through the years
Each makes the other better.
But what thoughts can i call allies
When this circle of ribs keeps working on its own？
Chorus
Wwoz's on in stereo. well it's on in stereo.
