Act Ur Age Do I really care, what you have to say? You talking like you know me, but you dolt (D-O-L-T) You I want I be afraid to walk the streets alone I close the door, I slide across the bolt Hey, hey Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Nah U dah, ah-ooo, ah-ooo Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Nah U dah, ah-ooo, ah-ooo First I am the rose and then I am the thorn You taking or you leaving it, I guess You pounding on the low, now looking for the high You want the violin? Then be my guest And-a, and-a Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Nah U dah, ah-ooo, ah-ooo Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Nah U dah Stop in the moment, Time to foment Cause you never know how this ends When the tall things fall and small ring calls As the butterfly wings extend Some 6 pence, low rent Tell me how my money spent Making that maximum wage While they sally from alley Like a third quarter rally, saying Why don't you act your age? Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Nah U dah, ah-ooo, ah-ooo Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Nah U dah Nah U Dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Nah U dah, ah-ooo, ah-ooo Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Skip deeder, nah U dah Nah U dah Ah-ooo

Taken Leave 04:05
lyrics

Taken Leave A little less reality, please I’d like to settle the score The city sirens calling me, no more I’m here for the moment To watch the mercury rise higher I’ll turn the corner and throw off this disguise If I stay between the lines Would I be picture perfect? I’ve taken leave of what’s left of my senses I won’t lie and I won’t mend the fences That kept out the others and helped them to keep me in line Draw deep from the well Wash the taste from my mouth, my mouth Watching in wondering while the whole damn thing went south If I stay between the lines, Would I be picture perfect? I’ve taken leave of what’s left of my senses I won’t lie and I won’t mend the fences That kept out the audience and helped them to keep me in line Lord knows, they better keep me in line Lead, follow, side by side, together Be, tomorrow, run and hide, whatever But if take the chance will you own me? If I take these steps will you disown me? Can I trust, unashamed, unprepared, as I am Can I trust? Taken leave Yes, I’ve taken leave Oh, I’ve taken leave of what’s left my senses Taken leave

Neither Nor 03:16
lyrics

Neither Neither Nor One little tic, one little talk, it’s all the same Not to be lonely, but I only have myself to blame You weigh the consequence, I‘m left here wanting more One little smile, one little tear Neither, neither, nor Neither, neither, nor You say you’re not the kind who likes to make commitment Turned blue just listening to your issues of abandonment Left never knowing why you’re walking out the door One little smile, one little tear Neither, neither, nor Neither, neither, nor Neither, neither, nor Neither, neither, nor The time is gone, my mind is split A word from you and I would be all over it My sights are drawn, my aim is true And I see you, I see you Neither, neither, nor Neither, neither, nor Neither, neither, nor (No better time, nothing to fear) Neither, neither, nor (One little smile, one little tear) Neither, neither, nor (A stitch in time across the years and years and years and years and years) Neither, neither, nor (One little smile, one little tear) The time is gone, my mind is split A word from you and I would be all over it My sights are drawn, my aim is true And I see you, I see you Yes, I see you, I see you

Frozen in Flight 04:46
lyrics

Frozen in Flight There is an age when the pent up rage soaks into the sand Whether in tandem or alone They ride the lofty venues, vapors in the skies And guide the rescuers with the fire in their eyes Frozen in flight, Closer to the light Frozen in flight Let all that’s passed between us be denied There'll come a time when the clenched fist becomes an empty hand And all the writers must concede They never saw it coming, they did not know the plan So we are left to ponder what is and might have been Frozen in flight, Closer to the light Frozen in flight Silence inside Frozen in flight, Glide into the night Frozen in flight Let all that’s passed between us be denied Tonight you and I will cast our faces to the sky And we might have one last chance to try I know there’s people Who’ve run you through the knife But this runs deeper So say all the people say All the people say All the people And that’s a life Frozen in flight, Closer to the light Frozen in flight Silence inside Frozen in flight, Glide into the night Frozen in flight Let all that’s passed between us be denied Denied, denied, denied, denied Tonight you and I will cast our faces to the sky

Nobody Wants to Hug the Boss 02:12
lyrics

Nobody Wants to Hug the Boss Nobody loves me, nobody cares It's lonely up here in this rarified air When your whole world revolves around profit and loss Nobody wants to hug the boss I wander unhindered in the halls of power I'm paid by the minute, not by the hour I've get fed lines and headlines and all of that dross Nobody wants to hug the boss I got the pro-pi-etary, in-for-ma-tion, man Even the President wants to shake my hand I know all of the spices in our secret sauce But nobody wants to hug the boss I've got roadies and toadies, chauffeurs and go-fers Houses and spouses I've never seen I've got mission, vision, values and passion But I sure don't want to be sexually harassing So it's hands to myself, eyes lifted high Don't worry about me, I'm not that kind of guy I'm the cold-hearted offspring of ol' Mr. Frost Nobody wants to hug the boss I've got all that want, but it comes at a cost Nobody wants to hug the boss Now, it all may appear to be glitter and gloss Nobody wants to hug the boss Nobody wants to hug the boss Nobody wants to hug the boss

Ginny Makes a Name 04:27
lyrics

Ginny Makes a Name As she stands, with toes clenched On a mountain made of glass and steel She’s got nothing left to hide And nothing to reveal And if summer never comes Hers will be a different song Another season in her life lingered for too long Ginny makes the main headlines in the paper today Ginny makes the headlines and there she’ll stay Ginny makes a name Of the mountains she must climb None will bring her greater joy Than the one within herself, listen to me, boy You just might learn a thing or two All the hours you have spent Sharpening your wit and your tongue Does it come as a surprise when everything is numb? Ginny makes the main headlines in the paper today Ginny makes the headlines and there she’ll stay Until the memory fades She's strong, she's weak, she's knows she's got to learn to turn the other cheek To all the hubbub and the chatter, and focus on the things that matter To life, to love, to thankfulness, the silver lining in this mess She has her name She's on the Southern face And you've got the Northern view Yet, still you hesitate What's a girl to do? Ginny makes the main headlines in the paper today Ginny makes the headlines and there she’ll stay Ginny makes the main headlines in the paper today Ginny makes the headlines and there she’ll stay Ginny makes a name Ginny makes a name Ginny makes a name

Mr. Happy Go Lucky Yeah, I know you Telling us all those things you used to do Well, we all know that you shade the truth "a bit" Maybe someday you’ll finally Give assurance to your loved ones Be the bigger man instead What you’d give up on your deathbed What you’d give up on your deathbed I know you Yeah, I know you Heckling the band ‘cause you’ve had a drink or two If you want a free bird go find yourself a duck Maybe it's time I asked you what the future holds within you Who’s the driver in your head? What you’d give up on your deathbed What you’d give up on your deathbed And you know me, Mr. Happy-go-lucky Easy and wild as a prisoner set free And you know me, Mr. Happy-go-lucky I swing and slide and deep inside I'm still that same small child who still believes I know one these days you’re bound to show some class Maybe that’s why you told me, “Kiss my aspirations goodbye” It went right over my head I put all things in perspective What you did and what you said What you’d give up on your deathbed What you’d give up on your deathbed And you know me, Mr. Happy-go-lucky Easy and wild as a prisoner set free And you know me, Mr. Happy-go-lucky I swing and slide and deep inside I'm still that same small child who still believes Mr. Happy-go-lucky Mr. Happy-go-lucky Mr. Happy-go-lucky Mr. Happy-go-lucky

Come Back to Me Did you ever make a comment? That you’ve often said before Just an ordinary comment That cut someone to the core? Come back to me And set me free from all my doubt Forget, forgive and let me live Come let me out Ah, thoughts created soon become a message hated Oh, words regretted from the moment that I said it Oh, wounds to mend, my apology to send you And everything I’ve said comes back to me And when you need to be alone Find a face to call your own When you need to be alone I know you’ll find your way home Come back to me And set me free from all my doubt Forget, forgive and let me live Come let me out Come back to me And set me free from myself Forget, forgive and let me live Come back to me Ah, thoughts created soon become a message hated Oh, words regretted from the moment that I said it Oh, wounds to mend, my apology to send you And everything I’ve said Come back to me Come back to me Come back to me Come back to me Come back to me
