oh my god i didn’t hear the alarm
came on me so quick
like a plot twist in a tv flick
then you’re in the midst
of a hurricane, tidal wave
what we gonna do
cause when it’s sink or swim
will you pull me when there’s
everything to lose
what’s goin down outside my window
it’s hard to see it through the pane
what’s goin' down outside my window lord
hope I never see it again
i hope I never see it again
oh no here it come
you can’t hide them bloodshot eyes
don’t know what to say
cause you can’t know that kind of pain
unless it comes your way lord
and my heart bleeds in misery
i say my prayers for you
cause when it’s sink or swim
will i pull you in when there’s
everything to lose
what’s goin down outside my window
it’s hard to see it through the pain
what’s goin down outside my window lord
i hope I never see it
what’s goin down inside my window
it’s hard to see it through the pain
what’s goin down inside my window lord
i hope I never see it again
hope I never see it again
i hope I never see it again

The Law Of Attraction
02:44
|
|||
now the law of attraction is a curious thing
world's as you see it so what do you think
when you put your mind to it who knows what it brings
you better get where you're goin things can change in a wink
but to get where that is well now that's the trick
you got your feet in the mud six feet thick
with all the money in the world how'd you spend your time
answer to the question might blow your mind come on
some nights you toss and turn can't leave your waken’ state
you want a conversation all you get is debate
can you find yourself connection to be satisfied
or forever in a prison where you're doin time
you know I wanna help you on the road ahead
can try and leave directions from the place I left
but I can’t give a destination I can point you to
cause you're gonna find me walkin’ in the mud with you that’s right
in the mud with you
woah
now the law of attraction is a curious thing
world's as you see it so what do you think
when you put your mind to it who knows what it brings
you better get where we're goin things can change in a wink

Clap Of Thunder
03:16
|

early morning fast asleep
but out in the distance comin’ for me
sky was black no sun overhead
something shook me in my bed
something in the air has changed
you can smell it when it rains
but man says no need to be alarmed
no need to sing no canary song
and there’s a clap of thunder here it come
you a man or mouse tell me son
cause what don’t kill you make you strong
that’s what the man say
clap of thunder here it come
look out lord
look out
some don’t learn if it don’t sting
some just hurt and that’s the thing
but if there’s a point when there’s nothing learned
weatherman is quite concerned
and there’s a clap of thunder here it come
you a man or mouse tell me son
cause what don’t kill you make you strong
clap of thunder here it come
oh lord

03:57
|

tell me the truth you think what’s use
is that what you meant
i understand sometimes i feel that too lord
cause just the other day i lost my way
i got so upset
oh my god i really lost my cool man
cause i was feelin’ that pain
from the voices callin’ my name
most i don’t listen to
and i think is time
that we all get together inside
maybe we should go for a ride
we should go for a ride
let’s ride
never the less I think it’s a test
when they knock you down
is it too much to ask for some respect here
don’t wanna pacify the voices inside
want them to talk it out
cause maybe as we ride the rain will clear lord
rain will clear
as we ride
rain will clear
as we ride
let’s go for a ride
can we go for a ride
can we go for a ride

Hedge Your Bets
03:19
|

hedge you bets you never know
cause in hard times the water flows
sometimes right up to your neck
it’s sink or swim what you expect
do you smell moral decay
each way you look it looks that way
how do we know what’s right or wrong
when everyone sings along oh lord
didn’t hear of your distress
made no mention in the press
and in the text there’s more mistakes
but less discussed than yesterday
less between the two extremes
and only two not many streams
there once were more but
they been dammed
it’s sink or swim
what you expect oh lord
that’s right
mmm hmmm mmm hmmm
mmm hmmm mmm hmmm

They Ate All Your Pie
03:13
|
|||
say too much get you to believe
your heart's in the right place but your so naïve
you see the world it ticks with the dirty tricks
then they ate all your pie before you’re done with it
they don’t like to say what they mean
when you’re just tryin’ to make the end meet
what did they sing on the tv news
but same sad songs shapin' your world views
if it bleeds it leads as a policy
but we'll find some hope in the economy
and they don’t like to say what they mean
when you’re just tryin’ to make the end meet
they say the world it ticks with the dirty tricks
then they ate all your pie 'fore you’re done with it
say the world it ticks with the dirty tricks
then they ate all your pie 'fore you’re done with it
all these years no end in sight
but i ain’t goin’ down without a fight
sooner or later gonna hit the fan
don’t say i didn’t warn ya when it comes to that
and they don’t like to say what they mean
when you’re just tryin’ to make the end meet

i took ahold little did i know
you can’t control another soul
but it was fear of me my dear
i pray to find answers here
but all my calculations were just calculations
all my calculations just calculations
and all my calculations were just calculations
all my calculations they were wrong
they were wrong
all my calculations
all my calculations
all my calculations
and all my calculations were just calculations
all my calculations just calculations
and all my calculations were just calculations
all my calculations they were wrong
they were wrong
they were wrong
they were wrong lord
they were wrong
all my my calculations
all my my calculations
all my my calculations
all my my calculations

Turnover
03:22
|
|||
Highlights spark your memory
moments in the sun
relive your days of glory
darker days forlorn
vanity a victim
years upon the stage
time for new intention
time to turn the page
turnover
turnover
turnover lord
watch out they're gonna tell you
that you crossed a line
cause there's a pecking order
social norms defined
but what is there that's normal
'bout values you are sold
measure of a culture
is how they treat their old
turnover
turnover
turnover lord
lookin' in the mirror
tell me what you see
your mind is playin tricks
which mirror to believe
wanna turn the page
can see it in you eyes
hard to find the truth
when you believe the lies
turnover
turnover
turnover lord

Yellow Teeth
03:02
|
|||
come up close like you like to do
let me take a good look at you
like an open book you’re plain to see
you give yourself away with them yellow teeth
how many times so what’s one more
can see in your eyes your fingers crossed
but only so much I can do
when you want self love but have self abuse
easy on your mind
when you justify
but you know something’s lost
and you can’t find what you’re not lookin’ for
can’t find what you’re not lookin’ for
don’t matter how many call your name
when you see yourself you look away
hard to have to face the facts
so you should hear that talk behind you back
some can’t help but put you down
talkin’ trash when you’re not around
but some they want the best for you
so untie that rope that ties the noose lord
untie that rope that ties the noose
that’s what i sad
can see in your eyes
you feel confused
you want self love
but have self abuse
easy on your mind
when you justify
but you know somethin’s lost
and you can’t find what you’re not lookin’ for
you can’t find what you’re not lookin’ for
can’t find what you’re not lookin’ for
can’t find what you’re not lookin’ for

Inquiring minds hypnotized stories of the day
they all say it’s who you know
so they can know your name
roll the dice pay your dues win the lottery
but fickle fame might make you say
how long before they turn on me
how long ‘fore you turn on me
how long before you turn on me
how long ‘fore you turn on me oh no
how long before you turn on me
that’s right come on
how long how long
i don’t know
You made the grade
your fans can’t wait
have the golden touch
overnight success they say
despite the years it took
household name
flash in the pan
flavor of the week
fickle fame might make you say
how long before they turn on me
how long before you turn on me
how long before you turn on me oh lord
how long before you turn on me that’s right
how long before you turn on me
that’s right
come on
how long
how long
i don’t know

Just Passing Through
03:39
|
|||
pleased to meet you
time is like a stream
pleased to greet you
tears are bittersweet
you know you taught me things
that i didn’t know
thankful l that we met
i know that i have grown
is there ever enough
of a fleeting taste
'cause when the moments gone
it just can’t be replaced
just passing through
just passing through lord
were just passing through lord
wished i could save you
that was for myself
i hope i gave you
some small bit of help
you know it’s hard for us
we don’t get to decide
because you never know
when it might be your time
it’s hard to let you go
i still can see your face
but when i think of you
love transcends time and space
just passing through
just passing through lord
were just passing through lord
aw yea
just passing through
just passing through lord
were just passing through lord
aw no

Doom And Gloom
04:03
|
|||
can you teach me the game
won’t listen anyway
least that’s how I liked to play
let my anger light the way
and all the rest denied
best forget than wonder why
memories in a covered hole
took a look saw fire and smoke
saw fire and smoke
i saw fire and smoke
that ain’t no joke man
saw fire and smoke
i saw fire and smoke
that ain’t no joke man
i love your perfume
smells like doom and gloom
and it mixes with my scent
’till I can’t tell right from left
that smell was my voice
didn’t know I had a choice
i have to watch what I say
to find the water for the flames
water for the flames
water for the flames
ahhh aaaa
ahhh aaaa
ahhh aaaa
ahhh aaaa
out of your reach
messages to teach
lift you up knock you down
don’t believe me look around
and what did you hear
take to heart let disappear
have to watch what they say
to find the water for the flames

No One Needs To Know
03:01
|
|||
what did he tell ya
what did he say
the silver tongue devil
did he lie to your face
but if you can keep a secret
he’ll make amends
so long as no one needs to know
do they friend
no one needs to know
he poisoned the water
poisoned the air
he shoulda known better
but he he didn’t care
and for the love of his money
he’d do it again
so long as no one needs to know
do they friend
no one needs to know
come on come on
no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no
no one needs to know
now who’s the silver tongue devil
he’s you and he’s me
if for the love of our money
we’re blinded by greed
and we poison a world
that won’t come again
so long as no one needs to know
do they friend
now no one needs to know
come on come on
no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no
no one needs to know
