1.Everything's Red
seems that you're here
but it feels like you're dead
did someone forget to lock the door
it's more than a dream cuz when i hit the floor
the whole world turns red
and green
with silver bells
i'm laughing while wrapping a box that you sent me
full of your regrets
with a key
and a ring
and the gun
it's almost never the same almost i can taste it almost yea it's
done
ch to the phone booth down the street everything's red
to the heart i couldn't keep everything's running through my
head
the lips you kissed until they bled
and the angry words you said
here they are take them back
curtain's closing fade to black
where i was warm oh now i feel cold
and when did the light through my window change
i pass by your house
it's so empty to see all the colours have gone
like the wind
blowing snow
down my back
and christmas is coming i sit by the tree
and sing your favorite song
with a key
and a ring
and a gun
it's almost never the same almost i can taste it almost yea it's
done
ch to the phone booth down the street everything's red
to the heart i couldn't keep everything's running through my
head
the lips you kissed until they bled
and the angry words you said
here they are take them back
curtain's closing fade to black
br fade to black oh its such a simple term
but not quite our ending no it was a long slow burn
i've quess there's no turning back
from the red where you have sent me
oooooh
ch to the phone booth down the street everything's red
to the heart i couldn't keep everything's running through my
head
the lips you kissed until they bled
and the angry words you said
here they are take them back
curtain's closing fade to black
to the phone booth down the street everything's red
to the heart i couldn't keep everything's running through my
head
the lips you kissed until they bled
and the angry words you said
here they are take them back
curtain's closing fade to black

i'm a page about to be turned i'm a dance about to begin i'm a
moment awaiting eternity
i'm a whisper awaiting a sigh
and i'm a river awaiting the ocean i'm a baby waiting to crawl
and i'm a heart

love's peace of mind in a world
that keeps on spinning round

standing ground

i kept throwing my hands up in the air
i didn't care
til you put your love in my life
you're a penny in the water
sparkling in the light

5.Life
life life life life is just a question
he he he he he runs to me and
i i i i i turn to him
and he he he he he says to me
report your instincts to the station
this sixth sense of yours is on fire
your desire to insult the situation
can be controlled if you'd just let it go
what the hell is he saying should i return to the good book
am i too defensive is he always right
because life life life life is just a question
she she she she she runs to me and
i i i i i turn to her
and she she she she she says to me
fill the vases up with flowers
fill the faces up with laughter
fill your heart up with echoes fill your mind up with
nothing
and
i have to scribble quickly she talks so fast so full of life
there she goes around the corner into another dimension and
i scratch my head i waste time thinking about scratching my head
and i wonder
do we really hold all power here inside
i jump for joy at the thought i jump off cliffs and into
fields of love
la da da daa da da daaa
la da da daa doda da dooo da daaa
la do da daa da da daaa
la da da do doda da dooo da daaa
she knocks me over mid thought
my elbow's scratched he is holding her stare
she is smiling he is toothless
together they are a potent pair
i kick the can we run seperate through the trees
i remember
once i was naked and i blame it on adam and eve
life life life life is just a question
he he he he he runs to me and
i i i i i turn to her
and she she she she she says
life life life life is just a question
he he he he he runs to me and
i i i i i turn to him
and she she she she she says

6.I'm Not Going Anywhere

7.I Wish I Could Run(To Save You)
outside the lines of baltimore
there's a cemetary sleeping
i stopped to watch you yelling at your dog
the effect was rather creepy
in front of strangers long since gone
i watched you hammer home your hate
someday you'll look back at what you've become
a ghost behind a gate
chorus
oh ohh oh
i wish i could run to save you
i wish i could run
i wish i could run to save you
i can't be the one
you could blame it on the way he would hit you
the taste of blood mingled with shame
and there's a feeling that lies deep within you
but you cannot give it a name
no one can understand me you say
no one knows your pain
you shake your fists and raise your voice
here comes the madness again
chorus
oh ohh oh
i wish i could run to save you
i wish i could run
i wish i could run to save you
i can't be the one
no i can't be the one
you wish you were more like me but i'm not
who you make me out to be
you wish you were more like me but
i'm not who you make me out to be
no one can understand me you say
no one knows your pain
you shake your fists and raise your voice
here comes the madness again
chorus
oh ohh oh
i wish i could run to save you
i wish i could run
i wish i could run to save you
i can't be that
i wish i could run to save you
ohh i wish i could run
i wish i could run to save you
i can't be the one
no i can't be the one
no i can't be the one
8.Bowl Full Of Stars
i poured some stars in your cereal
you ate half a bowl and said you were full
oh honey where's your appetite
you used to eat a bowl every nite
ah uh huh
baba bada bap ba badiyidi
baba bada ba
lassoed the moon and laid it at your feet
but when i left you kicked it out on the street
the neighbors heard it cryin' took it in
now i'm not sure the moon will trust you again
ah uh huh
baba bada bap ba badiyidi
baba bada ba
baba bada bap ba badiyidi
baba bada ba
the world can caress you or it can oppress you
but don't be swayed by it's course
a smile's a moonbeam a happy daydream
pouring straight from the source
where did you go i want you back
your smile's as flat as a paper sack
oh let me pour your favorite cereal
and hang the moon to light your meal
ah uh huh
baba bada bap ba badiyidi
baba bada ba
baba bada bap ba badiyidi
baba bada ba
your heart was open twenty four hours
your love was my chosen sunflower
weren't you the one who said a smile's just a frown
that we've turned upside down
where did you go i want you back
your smile's as flat as a paper sack
oh let me pour your favorite cereal
and hang the moon to light your meal
ah uh huh
baba bada bap ba badiyidi
baba bada ba
baba bada bap ba badiyidi

9.Moment Of Grace
i didn't want a river
but you handed me the sea
i didn't want a forest
but you chopped down every tree
i didn't want these blue skies
but you shot down every bird
i didn't want these questions
that you're screaming to be heard
and the distance between stars
is the distance between our hearts
and the difference between runners in a race
is a moment of grace
i didn't want a feature length film
i said a preview will do
but somehow you convinced me
to sit here in the dark with you
and you carry this hole in your heart
you expect me to fill it on the double
but i can't carry more than myself
oh my own shit and shovel
and the distance between stars
is the distance between our hearts
and the difference between runners in a race
is a moment of grace
da dum dum dum daday
da dum da dada day
da dum dum dum daday
da dum dada day
i don't i don't i don't i don't i don't i don't i don't want you
i just needed you the night
you say a man's got to do what a man's got to do
i say
a woman's
got
the same right
and the distance between stars
is the distance between our hearts
oh ohhh oh
and the difference between runners in a race
is a moment of grace
is a moment
10.Come Around
i thought i'd have to pay to feel good
by all the pretty things that caught my eye
empty as my pocketbook i stood
with only common sense to tell me why i
can't put my finger on it
i can't hold it in my hands
but i'll wrap my arms around it
then let it go
to come around again
elusive as a lizard in the grass
compelling as an ancient mystery
sudden as a twister and as fast
as a train from leon to paree i
can't put my finger on it
i can't hold it in my hands
but i'll wrap my arms around it
then let it go
to come around again
mothers hold their babies to their breast sisters see their
brothers off to war
lovers put each other to the test oceans spend their waves upon
the shore
i told you there was something in the air
beyond our limitations to perceive
a feeling that there's more than nothing there
challenging us simply to believe in love
can't put your finger on it
you can't hold it in your hands
but you'll wrap your arms around it
then let it go to come around again
can't put my finger on it
i can't hold it in my hands
but i'll wrap my arms around it
then let it go
to come around again
ooohh come around
11.Kerosene
here we are
shallow but inspired
jumping into fires we set
here we are
we're dumb enough to learn
risking all we know to forget
so don't make me lead the way
or make me say
it's real
the way
i feel
chorus
cuz words burn like kerosene
flickering
then gone
words burn like kerosene
seldom seen again
well damn the lies
i'm choking on the truth
time is passing by
it's no excuse
stale goodbyes
oh really what's the use
to try and save what we long to lose
so don't make me lead the way
or make me say
it's real
the way
i feel
chorus
cuz words burn like kerosene
flickering
then gone
words burn like kerosene
seldom seen again
words burn like kerosene
flickering
then gone
words burn like kerosene
seldom seen again
sometimes you need to go astray
so throw caution to the wind
sometimes it carries you away
ohh please don't hate me when i say
words burn like kerosene
flickering
then gone
words burn like kerosene
seldom seen again
kerosene
oh seldom seen
ohh oh oh
then gone
12.Edward
edward can i borrow your coat
edward can i borrow your hat
through an open door i see
rain about to wash my fallen heart clean
and edward can i borrow your smile
oh i'd like to take it home and try it out for awhile
i'm sitting in a room
where the smell of you is still upon my fingers
ohhh it's news to me how we came to be
that you and i could ever be together
i wasn't even looking
but now i'm jumping up and down
a thousand kisses waiting here for you
inst
ohhh it's news to me how we came to be
that you and i could ever be together

a thousand kisses waiting here for you

why some things have to change
and some things stay the same
either way i'm here
beside you
inside you
13.Dear Tracey
dear tracey
you left too soon
cuz when you left
the light went with you out of the room
dear tracey
you hung the moon
over my shoulder
each and every night
now my heart hangs heavy
but it still beats steady for you
dear tracey
and in my darkest hour
i can hear
the way you used to whistle
the way you could turn every head in the room
with just the sound of your laughter
and in my darkest hour
i can hear
the way you used to whistle
the way you could turn every head in the room
dear tracey
golden moments are not easily found
now that you are homeward bound
and this will not be easy to think of you and
to sing this song
now that you are gone
my dear
dear tracey
