I rose from the water
And stood in the thundering morning
You fell from the flowers
And you showed me a mirror
Sky, and all of it's sunshine
The hue, the reflection of blue
She paints me a picture
The view pulls me to pieces
And so, for the circle of dancers
Who live in search of the light

I know what you're thinking
Here we go again
He's not even blinking
What's going on inside his head?
Three strikes and you know you're done for now
For me it was two
One teammate was enough for me to care about
Now there's both of you
A quantum cat
Inside of you
My plate is full already
And I don't need no soup
One week and I'm counting down already
Seventeen or three six five?
And baby you know that you're my steady
But I need some time alone with the guys
Distracted by the melody
My life fell out of time
The party of the century
But I never celebrated mine
Now there's three days left
And I'm not sleeping
And I've compressed
My thoughts to dreaming
Floodgates open
Let it bleed
A smile and a tear
Are all the words I need

Unreasonable Poetry

Hey you, who am I to deny your side?
What if I could be just what's next?
Take a chance, circumstances wouldn't let this die
Knowing nothing could be done of the rest.
Couldn't ask simple minds to define all the lines
Imperfected by oblivious men
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing's gonna get to you.
Heard 'em all calling time and again
----
I'm just trying to lose my mind.
Headlong and gone for lost time.
I'm just trying to lose my mind,
It's alright.

You had to be there
Right before my eyes
Could this be an illusion
Or a nice surprise
How was I supposed to know right where you'd be
Was it fate or God, or was it destiny?
Hallelujah
Says God from his car
Goin' for a cruise with Apollo through the stars
Riding shotgun I'm expecting no delays
Lucy's all around us with a smile on her face
How was I supposed to know if God looked like that?
A clean shaven man with a backwards hat
The devil works inside us every day
Come together
Sing our words
They mean more than other words do
Go alone then
Sing your words
They mean more to you
Eat this one and don't eat that
This one's full of goodness
The other's full of fat
Never eat the fruit of a given tree
Your skin will turn blue but your eyes will learn to see
I'll take option B, please and thank ye
The rest of you that don't agree are as blind as sheep can be
The devil works inside us every day
Come together
Sing our words
They mean more than other words do
Go alone then
Sing your words
They mean more to you

Places (We May Go)
04:00

People going in the same direction they just don't know
What would happen if I didn't let go?
Drive to fast run off the road
People saying beware of the spaces in between
But noone gets out of life that clean
It ain't nice and it ain't mean
The places we may go (places we may go)
How did we get here how does it feel to fall alone?
(how does it feel all alone)
I think I'd like to know
I went out hiking on top of the world
Just me and my girl
Not a care for the wind or the cars on the ground
Then I had this thought
What if I fall?
I'm a perfectly sane guy who can fly for a minute and end it all
The places we may go (places we may go)
How did we get here how does it feel to fall alone?
(how does it feel all alone)
I think I'd like to know
The places we may go

The Oven Song
03:00

I left the oven on last night again.
I couldn't help it, I had just walked in.
I turned it up, and I sat down to take a load off my feet.
Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.
But when I wake up right on time,
It don't help to ease the worries of a restless mind.
Will I get a shake up, or am I on fire?
You know it's driving me wild
Must have taken off my shoes,
Quick fat hit that got me thinking the blues,
Just enough to take my mind away.
But when I heard it ring, I awoke to note the nice thing,
A lesson learned to start the day.
So when I wake up right on time,
It means there'll be no worries for a rested mind.
Will I get a shakeup, or am I on fire?
Will I shape up, or am I on fire?
You know it's driving me wild

Too tame, the hand remains un-bitten
Strung up on the uneven plateau
Coated by the fabrics but bedridden
Damp modest sandbox in the cove
Excuse my vices
Full swing into the skull
Stretching tracks in through the summits
Needed to drown in the valley
Ice inside through and out
Blinding the breath as the pressure plummets
Running out of time
I know it's cliche
16 and some odd
Bittersweet black parade

Analog Fact
02:48
|

|
Bending the harmonic
The shape of the wave is beginning to change
You'll make you're point when they hear it
You're living in the past
And the things you say are beginning to melt
Away from all of our perceptions
I can't carry you all of the
Way there
You've got to get up on your own
You've been lying on the ground for hours
Get up
We gotta leave for now
The ground will always be there
The digital impression
Of the analog fact
Is that it's getting louder as we get closer to the show
Mental hydration
70% of our bodies are made up
There's always thirst (left to quench)
Now you've got me thinking I can't
Get out
You gotta get me out of here
I've been trapped inside my head for hours
Get out
I gotta leave for now
The sound will always be there
The sound....

Spaceship
04:03

I'm on a trip to Mars, don't really know what's up
Riding solo on a space machine, an interstellar journey is about to begin
Projected off of Planet Earth, transcendental human worth
Couldn't speak it if my own two lips were jigsaw puzzle pieces missing in the great abyss
Spaceship ride
Spaceship ride
Spaceship ride
I'm rolling round up here, cloudless skies ain't got no fear
As I look down below, I realize I don't wanna go home
I don't wanna go home
I was on a spaceship ride, don't know where I'm going so I closed my eyes,
I went on a spaceship ride, met a couple aliens, the friendly kind
I was on a spaceship ride, flying so fast nearly fried my mind
I was on a spaceship ride, it could have been a dream but I really didn't mind
The constellation queen in reign
Sippin' smoothies of the milky way
Cruisin' round the astroid lane
I give a nod to Marvin as I cruise along the way
I was on a spaceship ride, don't know where I'm going so I closed my eyes,
I went on a spaceship ride, met a couple aliens, the friendly kind
I was on a spaceship ride, flying so fast nearly fried my mind
I was on a spaceship ride, it could have been a dream but I really didn't mind

Abi (Reprise)
02:58
|

|
I kissed you on the subway at Delancey Street
Running circles in my mind.
I was leaving in the morning, couldn't get much sleep
'Cause I had given all my time
To some mysterious girl, raised among a London world,
Singing songs of Brighton in the night.
And though I thought it through, I still was standing next to you,
Fixed upon the rhythm in your eyes.
And I thought,
Hey Abi, don't stop leaning on me,
You could be the one to help me understand what I see.
Hey Abi, don't hold on by yourself
And you can come around again
