Something New

slip slide override feeling blue
thoughts turn to something something new
this changes everything that i knew
i've got the feeling something's new
a resurgence of hope in the life I lead
no time to mope something new is what I need
i have this amazing energy
everything is lit up inside of me
what could have caused this I don’t know
the wind the rain the green grass that grows
it’s in the air something new’s in the air
just breathe it in and my life’s all right again
skipping over cracks over puddles too
running down the street something’s new
feeling something’s coming this feeling’s not new
feels like the first time I met you
pushed down that feeling for a long long time
slept all winter thinking I was fine
i crave something new a break from routine
can’t stop me I’m jumping right in

Kiss Me Goodbye
04:13

You made a mistake now you’ve got to live with it
You made a mistake taken me for granted
You made a mistake now you’ve got to live with it
Come and kiss me goodbye
It was your decision on that night
That you were untrue to me
And you made me feel guilty
Because of what you have not said or done
But mostly what you have done
It’s the end never again
I did nothing wrong not gonna fight
I’m just giving up on you
Kiss me now and know that we’re through
Now you want forgiveness and me to come back to you
But it’s just not gonna be like that
I deserve more than I got
It seems to me that you forgot
The eden of our love
Don’t you get it you can’t treat people that way
It doesn’t matter what you say
It’s the end and now we’re moving on
Maybe you can learn the weight of what you did wrong
Right now I’m gonna stand on my own two feet
And live for me for a change
Independence of my heart and mind and soul
It’s the end we’re moving o

I can see you looking at me studying me
It’s not just in my mind
How do you account for my feeling
I can’t ignore these fuzzy memories
I try and try to figure this out
Who holds the key to my mind
It happened one night
When the air was crisp and clean
I’m not quite sure but something took over my being
It was over that hill that I saw a light and then
I disappeared into the night
Some tell me this is a myth
Created by a culture long gone
And some tell me it’s a government conspiracy
They’ve blocked my mind and they’ve hypnotized me
Most people say that I’m crazy
But I know that I’m being true to me
How can I doubt the certainly I feel
It’s a sickness that only I can heal

Success

It seems so pointless to rate our knowledge by a b and c
What happens in real life is what is more important to me
Why can’t they see it that way it makes sense to me
If you really want knowledge experience life and all its majesty
Don’t you sometimes want to go back to the naivete of childhood
Because the more educated we become the more complicated we make things
If what you seek is a piece of paper then society says you may be successful
But everyday it’s what I hear the qualities that I need
Are accomplished by what kind of life that I should lead
Why can’t I live it my way why listen to what they say
When I needed the know how it was the only way they pointed me that way

Road Trip

Driving around with the windows down
We’re taking a trip all over town
Nothing on our minds as just
Except this person we just met
Picked him up back at the corner
He needed a ride across the border
Well we’re not going down that way
But if you’d like you’re welcome to stay with us
Said you got any plans for the day
We say not yet but now we may
So he directed us to this place
It was cool said the look on his face
Stepped into this atmosphere
A welcoming scene did appear
Punks and skinheads mods and jocks
Skaters and freaks all there for the show of the week
Miles away from home and still we’re mashing it up
And the truth is clear
Why we were brought to this town
To realize it takes all kinds to get down
It may seem unlikely that we felt at home
Even though we weren’t with our own
You don’t need an x on your hand to be my friend
Cause we’re all in this until the end

Last Night
03:49
|

Last night was hell on wheels
The traffic was insane
I rode by bike by the stadium
There must have been a game
Some nutcase charged at me
From the opposite lane
He slammed into a squad car
Last night a fight broke out
In front of the café
Somebody knocked somebody
Into the next day
And right into my front wheel
It’s all bent out of shape
Who’s gonna pay for this
Not those muscle-brained apes
Just another night on the street
Tonight I think I’ll go out
I wanna hit the town
Don’t care how crazy things get
Won’t let it drag me down
Gonna find me a swingin’ night spot
Gonna bring the band
We’ll play ska music all night
Tomorrow night I can’t say
It ain’t mine to see
Anything could go wrong baby
Just ask Mr. Murphy
Let’s skank it away together
This doesn’t have to be
Just another night on the street

Turn Around
03:50

Well don’t you know nothing comes easy
We gotta work together to make it right
And don’t you know it takes a little patience
Keeping hanging on nothing’s ever black and white
I know it’s hard when you’re on your own
Scraping by trying to just survive
Realize you never are along
Turn around someone’s always on your side
And if you feel like giving up
Know that life can only turn around
If you believe in yourself you can turn it all around

Answer Me
03:33
|

Why do we feel the need
The answers for the big questions in life
All it really does it cause divisions and strife
The ones who think that they know the deal
Aren’t accepting what is real
That it is a mystery and we don’t know the history
You don’t have to choose a denomination
God doesn’t have a monopoly on salvation
How can they be so right
And so many others be so wrong
We’re here to enjoy life it doesn’t really last that long
Why do we dwell on what lies beyond
Live in the present and let that be your heaven
What’s at the end of the rainbow
What am I supposed to follow
Do we really know the laws of nature
How can we be sure
She surprises us around every corner
Till we don’t know where we are
Always question what you believe
For then you’ll be stronger
In this tangled web life weaves
