She... wants the world on a platter, Me to tackle the matter head-on like Yosemite Sam; I am that man. She... wants a bold superhero, And a pretty little bird to devour the food in her hand; I am that man. I am that man... She... takes the long way around, Makes me crawl on the ground, Makes me pay by the pound of her hand; That heavy hand. She... makes me understand, I'm just a part of her plan, Without her I'd be a little-lost lamb; I am that man. I am that man... There's a point when it don't make a difference anymore, So we might as well not stop. And I teeter on the brink between two worlds, A tiny little bit and I'm over the top A tiny little bit and I'm over the top A tiny little bit and I'm over the top A tiny little bit and I'm over the top... Wo-ho-oh... Wo-ho-oh... Wo-ho-oh...

Round We Go 02:26
I hardly been sober at all Ever since the ship went down If you help me to pick up my soul I'll be happy to pick up the round And round we go... Round and round we go.... I shoulda been quick on the draw But I fumbled and flubbed it again I promise to watch for your toes If you promise to lead me again And round we go... Round and round we go.... Pretty as a picture, crazy as a loon Pretty as a picture, crazy as a loon

Disastrophe 04:39
Where's that sparkle, where's that shine? Where`s that smile that you used to smile? Where's that sparkle, where's that shine? Where`s that smile that you used to smile? You outta know that I'm a disastrophe You outta know... Is it proper, is it fine? Is it right for me to shine? All this goodness, all this pain Must I open the wound again? Is it proper, is it fine? Is it right for me to shine? I long for you...

Catalina 04:14
Took a Catalina Hundred miles and then some Went so far away I lost who I was And that was a good thing Maybe send a letter Hundred days and then some Just so I can know what you do Through the fog and the gloom The fog and the gloom... Will you hold my hand Will you hold me hand again Through the fog and the gloom... Oh-oh-ooohhhh... May we be together Hundred years and then some Just because it feels right to do Just me and you... Just me and you... Just me and you... whistles...

Talk To Me 03:09
Talk to me about the time you felt most alive Tell me how you wound up unsatisfied Tell me everybody else you ever wanted to be There’s no one here, you can talk to me Tell me ‘bout the brush with death that you had Tell me ‘bout the time you stood up to your dad So where exactly do you fit in the family We’re all alone, you can talk to me There’s no one here, you can talk to me … Talk to me; tell me that you still have dreams Tell me how you interpret these things we see Let me know about the latest plan to be free We’re all the same, you can talk to me There’s no one here, you can talk to me I’m listening…

Spinning my wheels, not getting anywhere There doesn't seem to be a breath of air The shadows crawl across my garden wall And you're at the centre, in the middle of it all Making our way isn't easy as it seemed We wander around in a melancholy dream The engine choked, and the engine stalled There was something broken in the middle of it all If I'm a raging river, you're a surging waterfall In the middle of it all It don't mean a thing, unless you give it away It don't mean a thing, unless you give it away With love in the middle of it all Love in the middle of it all...

Gotta crack the code Or we’re never getting out of here Ravens in the Biosphere It’s the same in either hemisphere And when the blackness grows So many crazy things exploding out It’s a centrifugal roundabout And we’re spinning out… A dozen yellow birds To light your way… To light your way Sometimes a sense of desperation Is an imperative signal A dozen yellow birds To light your way… To light your way…

Show 02:59
Don’t waste your time Fudging the past Everything climbs Returning too fast I fell in the dark Went tumbling down You took it too far It’s all over town How do you do And what do you know Who would’ve thought You could put on such a show A trembling hand Is one to behold You steady the frame The picture unfolds We did what we could To weather the pain We carry together That intimate rain How do you do And what do you know Who would’ve thought You could put on such a show

Whispers 04:53
She walked into the garden of the Emperor Only for to breathe the scented air But he became aware of the intrusion And she became a prisoner ensnared… He stirred within his heart to see her suffering Where previously he could not be moved She became encircled in the shadows Bathed in the reflections of the moon Ooooohhhh…… The wolves began to speak to her in dreaming life And she began to listen to their whispering The Emperor was haunted by her melodies Which echoed through the chambers of his emptiness Ooooohhhh…… She drifted through the shadows of the garden And passed between his fingers as a spirit He became imprisoned by her absence As he listened to the howls in the distance… Ooooohhhh……

What took you so long? Been standing here all the while What took you so long? Been standing here all the while With a penny for your pleasure And a hint of something in your smile When the evil ones are born They take to the world and they never look back When the evil ones are born They take to the world and they never look back Like a bullet shot in anger Or a freight train screaming down the track When you meet a graceful soul You come away feeling so refreshed When you meet a graceful soul You come away feeling so refreshed When she comes knocking at your door You`re showered, shaved, and fully dressed I heard the secret to this life Is go and go and never stop I heard the secret to this life Is go and go and never stop And when the milk comes to your door You take the cream right off the top What took you so long? Been standing here all the while What took you so long? Been standing here all the while With a penny for your pleasure And a hint of something in your smile It`s your smile…
