Evil Eye

I can be your enemy
Open up your eyes and see
I can be the one that you will need
Tell her your dreams and your desires
She’s not yours, but I’m the liar
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
Feeling cold but I’m in the fire
You’ve got time, I’ll call you a liar
I don’t know what is or isn’t me
Open up one evil eye
The morning hides the nights goodbye
Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
You don’t know what I can say but,
I can take you home
You can tell me what’s inside your mind
You can tell me what’s inside your mind
You can tell me what’s inside your mind
You can tell me what’s inside your mind
You don’t know what I can say but,
I can take you home
You don’t know what I can say but,
I can take you home
You don’t know, I can say
I can take you home
I can take you home

Exploring all those record stores down Broadway we walk
Thumbing through all those records as the street turns into Clark
The city almost looks clean in the warm sunlight
My brother’s visiting and we’re seeing the sites
I’ve been waiting all my life for this music to come along
I better ask the girl behind the counter “what’s this song?”
And she says, “This is the greatest song ever written”
Songs about the weather always improve my mood
This band is playing tonight and we have tickets too
What are the odds, I can’t believe my luck
Can’t get that song out of my head now it’s really stuck
She said, “This is the greatest song ever written”
These guys are subverting lyrical tropes
Like getting a long lost letter in a self-addressed envelope
Exploring all those record stores down Broadway we walk
Thumbing through all those records as the street turns into Clark
The city almost looks clean in the warm sunlight
We’ll see these guys play the greatest song ever written again tonight
This is the greatest song
This is the greatest song
This is the greatest song
ever written

I'm Sad
02:53
|
|||
|
The sun is shining, a beautiful day
Everything is going my way
Everyone says they care about me
And if it’s a problem, then I can’t see
Cuz I’m sad I’m sad, I’m lonely inside
I can’t explain it, I can’t deny
Cuz I’m sad I’m sad, I’m lonely inside
I can’t explain it, I can’t deny
By myself in a crowded room
I know it’s a party, but feels like a tomb
Something is missing, a hole in my heart
So put a smile on my face, I’ll play my part
Cuz I’m sad I’m sad, I’m lonely inside
I can’t explain it, I can’t deny
Cuz I’m sad I’m sad, I’m lonely inside
I can’t explain it, I can’t deny
Deny, deny, deny
Tell me that you’ve got somewhere you gotta go see
But it’s up on a mountain and you can only climb a tree
Hang up the phone, I’d rather have a dial tone
Wasting away until I’m skin and bone
This modern world really gets me down
Upside, downside, all around
Round and Round until I’m on the ground
Nobody knows what I’ve seen
Cuz I’m sad I’m sad, I’m lonely inside
I can’t explain it, I can’t deny
Cuz I’m sad I’m sad, I’m lonely inside
I can’t explain it, I can’t deny
I’m sad I’m sad, I’m lonely inside
I can’t explain it, I can’t deny
Cuz I’m sad I’m sad, I’m lonely inside
I can’t explain it, I…yeah I can

I Hate Everyone
03:42

People don’t want to participate
They’ve already made up their minds
People want to make America great (again)
They don’t want to waste any more time
People don’t care about your weekend
They don’t care about your kids
People will break before they bend
They don’t care if you’re disappointed
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
People just ain’t no fun
People fear what they don’t understand
And they don’t really understand you
People don’t want hear your band
They don’t care about your point of view
People don’t want to know what you think
They don’t really like your hair
People want to microwave fish at work
They want to make fun of the clothes you wear
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
People just ain’t no fun

Backwash Bays
02:44
|
|||
|
Separate sensations unfold over many miles
As arrogance acts swiftly, quickly carrying time
Through backwash bays and the moonlit maze
The here and now and why
Hidden names won't hear the blame
Being thrown from the other side
While we whistle lullabies
And offer our last goodnight

The Getaway
02:34

We need to make a brand-new start
Let’s get some space to grow our hearts
Just one chance for us to make a getaway
We need more stability
Let’s get out of the city
Just one chance for us to make a getaway
I feel the engine running
Windows down the sun is shining
Radio says, “Come on, Let’s GO!”
We need nothing but our love
Let’s get out around and above
Just one chance for us to make a getaway
We need to come together as one
Let’s get clear of the questions
Just one chance for us to make a getaway
I feel the engine running
Windows down the sun is shining
Radio says, “Come on, Let’s GO!”
I feel the vibration
The road ahead is our salvation
Shift it up into gear, Let’s go, 1, 2, 3, 4

There was a man called Nikola Tesla
He made a Death Ray that he couldn’t sell
He wanted to readicate warfare
He died alone in the New Yorker Hotel
But he didn’t have you
to come home to
There was a dog named Laika
She went all the way up to outer space
Her atoms are scattered in low grade orbit
A monument to the space race
But she didn’t have you
to come home to
she didn’t have you
to come home to
And if I never get famous
For space travel or a death beam
You’ll be True North on my compass
Pulling me home by the iron in my bloodstream
There was a movie star called Hedy Lamarr
The most promising actress of 1938
She invented shared spectrum technology
A failure of cardiology was be her fate
But she didn’t have you
to come home to
she didn’t have you
to come home to

Cannot Love You
05:05
|

You and me, we go way back
I’ve got something your heart attacks
I used you and you have fallen in love
I come to you to ease my pain
To fake the love that I can’t contain
When you’ve got me, you think that I’m in love
But I can’t let you go
Until I find someone who knows
How to love me in the way I want to be loved
I come to your place late at night
You know what is on my mind
You let me in with open arms every time
We lay in your bed without a care
The sun comes up with the morning air
Soon we’ll repeat the night all over again
But I can’t let you go
Until I find someone who knows
How to love me in the way I want to be loved
But I can’t tell you that I don’t love you
Cuz, the one I want is already spoken for
No I can’t tell you that I don’t love you
Cuz, the one I want is already spoken for
So you must go, you gotta go, till I need some love

Tired of my face in the mirror
And the mirror’s tired of me
Put on a happy face and
Try not to scream
The music on the radio
Is my only friend
So I’m sitting in the car
Waiting for the song to end
And it gets dark sometimes,
Hope bleeds out in the dead of night
But the sun’s gonna shine again, yeah the sun’s gonna shine again
Tomorrow
Rain clouds rolling in
And the bulbs are burning out
The enemy is everywhere
In every fear and doubt
Shadows getting longer
And I need a place to hide
Devil’s ‘round the corner
I need someone on my side
And it gets dark sometimes,
Hope bleeds out in the dead of night
But the sun’s gonna shine again, yeah the sun’s gonna shine again
Tomorrow
When love runs out on your
And mercy disappears
There’s nothing left to do but
Turn and face your fears
And it gets dark sometimes,
Hope bleeds out in the dead of night
But the sun’s gonna shine again, yeah the sun’s gonna shine again
Tomorrow
But the sun’s gonna shine again, yeah the sun’s gonna shine again
Tomorrow
