Turn The Light On

Turn the light on, you're so ambitious when you cross the line
take the night off, because you're otherwise wasting my time
its just the sun sets so early, my head gets so whirly,
im basically losing mine,
and we both know that we'll have a great time
keep the light on, its always better when you show your face
sing the right song, its getting harder to keep up the pace
you know im physically hurting, my heart keeps on yearning,
you told me i've changed your life
and we'll sing lai dai dai dai dai dai dai
Turn the light off, its such a pity that you wont respond
Make a write off, and tell me im doing everything wrong
you know the world keeps on burning, my heart wont stop yearning,
we both know its mutual.
so baby why dont we give it a go ?
la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
la la la la ,la la la la la la la la la
You hide your body in these oversized clothes,
and baby god only knows that you're a beauty
theres nothing else i wanna do i wanna say
i wanna take you to bed like its my duty
and i dont see you anymore my love
you're afraid of me
you're afraid, i'm afraid
turn the light on, turn the light on, turn the light on
turn the light on, turn the ligh ton

Home

Waking up a little bit before the sunrise,
Start the day a little jog and then some tea,
Hit the gym, I'm wearing shorts that match my T-shirt,
After that i work myself into a daze and then go
Home, Home, it has always been my comfort zone
and i feel free, and i can hide from the universe you and me,
you and me, we could shack up in a little place elsewhere
i can't see, are you sick of always being alone? now?
Cleaning up, I'm running errands with my people,
Out to lunch, we go out shopping at the store,
Sunday night, we watch some shows they're on the big screen,
talks with dad, and spending hours on the phone
i just might go
Home, home, its just its always there when im feeling low
i wanna leave, leave
I wanna go other places that I've never seen

Lonely/Happy
03:23
|
|||
|
It's human nature to feel desire,
and it's a quality I admire, yeah
but if they program me to love i won't be lonely as can be,
I'm lonely, I'm lonely as can be
I've been observing them to see how I should act,
It's just so difficult to make them love me back,
It's just they seem so awfully lonely,
I just don't want to be so lonely,
They don't understand that we were
Made to be like them better
It's not as bad as i thought it would be,
I'm getting used to only being with me,
But i know one day I'll find you I'll be happy as can be
I wanna tell you I enjoy you darling,
One day it's possible i'll love you darling,
if you come with me we'll be happy as can be,
happy as can be,
happy as can be

I Will Not Be Beat
02:50
|
|||
|
I was hanging on your shoulder,
saying "please oh will you please?"
And the day was getting colder,
standing in the summer heat,
And there ain't time for feeling like a zombie,
so I better go and get myself a treat,
I will not be beat, i will not be beat
and I will not bow down to defeat
I will not be beat
As i stood before the council, facing 7 to 15
they said you will not get through this,
I said watch me if you please
Seven summers i was searching for an answers,
singing "oh you poor old devil won't you leave"
he said fine but here's my number if you need it,
i said "fuck it man i'm sick of wearing sleeves"
It was then I climbed a mountain,
wearing nothing on my feet,
i contracted all this illness,
from a woman wearing green,
homeward bound i was at that right very moment,
until i met the woman living in my dreams
and she said
i will not be beat, i will not be beat
and i will not bow down to defeat

Possibilities
02:39
|
|||
|
I've been rushing to write this song, because it means so much to me,
Depending on, the possibilities,
One day i'll quit this job, i know one day I will leave,
I'll make it big, because the music flows in me,
And if i'm wrong,then that will be sad,
my life will be a waste, and i'll fade to nothing
I hope some day i'll make it, all these possibilities
noone will listen now, they're worried about their problems,
they waste the day, forget the possibilities
i'm not like anybody else, i hope that you can see,
I like my style, i see the possibilities
and please don't cry, you've got no girl
it's not ok, to be alone
No, no, all the possibilities
The world will be on your side with the possibilities
I think i'll love you more with the possibilities

Noone From Nowhere
02:43

There's this girl that i run with, and she's so fine,
it's not like I want her now, and when she talks to me i feel let out,
And sometimes when i see her, I get real down,
Cause i'm a nobody from nowhere yeah,
and i can't follow all your simple plans,
and noone knows i'm singing out, i sing real loud,
And noone hears it that i want to know,
and i'm about to stop and let it blow
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah )
no connection between us, It's just too sad,
'cause i'm a nobody from nowhere now,
she snatched me right up and she showed me how
to live, to lie, to die,
And i can beg her for my life, And i can dance out in the rain,
and i can tell you all the same,
I'm just noone from nowhere goodbye,
and she remembers my old laugh,
it was before I went insane,
and all the voices talk to me,
say i'm noone from nowhere goodbye

One For The World
03:21
|
|||
|
One for the world, one for my hopeless falling away each day
'cause each day is better than before,
two for my dreams, two 'cause i realize mine are much different than yours
and baby i think that's just strange
Every day it feels like im wasting away
three for my love, three cause i'm always remembering how good it was,
but not it just feels like a dream
(guitar solo)
four for my pain, four for just noticing clearly it won't go away
and nothing will ever be the same

It's not i'm outside outside, tripping up and slipping up for fun
it's never an idea just to go now with the flow now
I oughtta stop right by some time
just to see ya, and hear ya,
and have a couple drinks beneath the shady shady shady shady tree
that you were showing me last week
and i know how it goes,
and i know how it flows,
and i can't sleep at night,
i just won't reach out my hand
next time they see us they'll believe us
lets open up girl lets just sit around today
Am i the one who tucks you in at night?
all wet from all the playing in the rain
were wasting too much time
and i dont feel like seeing people
lets take a peak inside this looking glass
a lovely hypermania display
i love you love you more
cant find a word that rhymes with people
This bland old night will turn to day real soon my leave
let's hang it up and we'll just sing around today

Attraction
02:19
|

You think i'm doing it wrong,
and you're always finding clues in these songs,
You think you're treating me right?
i can't help it that it gives me some bite,
and i'm telling you,
you're missing out the best part of life
I think i'm losin my mind
i hear voices and they're not really nice
i need some clinical help
all these chemicals are hurting my health
but its easy though,
it's just the way i'm living my life
it's just the way i'm living my life
its just the way im living my life
And if you want to pick inside my brain some time i feel so bad,
and if its true, I'm dying a slow death
There's nowhere else I can go,
i'm attracted to your aura it glows,
im stick of standing in line
ive been told that im a waste of a life
its simple girl
just follow me to hell when i die
just follow me to hell when i die
just follow me to hell, when i die
when i die when i die

Until That Day
02:40
|
|||

I saw you at the sacred hall, your hall resembled waterfalls,
you smelled like freshly opened up shampoo
the clothes you wore were nice and tight
i felt the urge to start a fight
i hate the man thats standing next to you
oh one day it'll end, and you might see me as a friend
until that day
ill just stay away from you girl
you havent got a problem in the world
ill keep away from your man
ill crush him with the palm of my hand
i met a girl just recently she talks to me with empathy
shes sweet shes kind she looks a bit like you
she always gets so moody though
i took her to my studio
and played a song she knew the lyrics too
oh we sung it all night long
it felt so right it felt so wrong
until that day
i guess youll be my girl for awhile
im always getting lost in your smile
she notices when i am upset
im telling you we only just met
i am not awake, and i feel lost in space
im lonely as you want to be now
i cant find you in my heart, its getting so damn dark
and i will tell you when im back again
youll always be my girl for awhile
ill always love you so much i smile
and if you want to make me a joke
then i will really tell you im broke
ohhhhh, ohhhhh

Recovery

I'm falling so hard I thought you'd like to know,
i need to recharge cause im about to blow
they say i need help and that i cant just do this on my own
I'm riding the rails its like im back in time
decided i'd bail so i could make things right
just check in the mail and you might see that letter i did write
and oh i'm no angel
and i have not been faithful
and words dont get me down as much
and i can't live without you love
surrounded by those who are as lost as me,
the 90 day goal to reach serenity
i wait til the sunrise and i cant help jumping to my feet
im smoking a cig because it's all i've got
They're taking some digs at me it happens a lot
i cant make a call because they told me i cant have my own thoughts
i'm falling so hard just take a look at me
i'm falling so hard just take a look at me
i'm falling so hard just take a look at me
