Crash landing why so calm?
They taught you to get through it all
In the moment we're all going down
You guide us safe and sound
Three minutes is all that you get
Before you have to regret
All the phone calls and letters you didn't send
All the clothes and the problems you couldn't mend
Unable to fail
When we took off on this flight
We never envisioned our plight
We made a sacrifice
As birds do when we fly
And we the standers by
So helpless unable to try
We got our boats and blankets nye
Cuz we refused to fail
We refused to fail
Unable to fail
Unable to fail
As birds do
Unable to fail
Unable to fail
Oooh
Oooh
etc...
Crash landing why so calm?

So many circles in my head today don't wanna get outta bed but I have to
So many circles in my head today don't wanna get outta bed but I have to
Gotta get out of my head that's what she said 12 steps let's take it to the next place
The notion seems so simple gotta lift up my head don't wanna get outta bed but I have to
Oh you
Get yourself
Get yourself in gear
Cuz if we don't get a move on we aint never gonna make it never gonna make it outta here
Sit back relax let's find some words that work together birds that flock together
Will we ever get around to spittin' half of this jive
Will we ever make it outta this song alive
Oh you
Get yourself
Get yourself in gear
Cuz if we don't get a move on we aint never gonna make it never gonna make it gonna make it
we aint never gonna make it never gonna make it gonna make it we aint never gonna make it never gonna make it gonna make it we aint never gonna make it never gonna make it gonna make it we aint never gonna make it never gonna make it gonna make it we aint never gonna make it never gonna make it gonna make it ......................etc..........
Never gonna make it
Never gonna make it
Never gonna make it
Never make it outta here

Squeeze the Sponge
02:40
|

You could be standing right next to me but still put walls between us when we sleep
Squeeze the sponge extinguish love from a distance and cover up your eyes no more vision
You already know too much
Why'd we try to open up?
Ahh ohh Ah oh
Ahhhh
Ahh ohh
Broke the bail and found that sailing out to sea without a vest can be such a nightmare
The sun is hot and not afraid to burn in front of friends who fight to fend them off
You already know too much
Why'd we try to open up?
Working on the line too long
Puttin' out the fire before it's gone
Ahh ohh Ah oh
Ahhhh
Ahh ohh
You already know too much
Why'd we try to open up
Working on the line too long
Puttin' out the fire before it's gone

You think it's all green
A life that you've seldom seen
And all of those missed opportunities
Where does it go when it never begins?
Show me what you are
What was it that got you this far?
It's not just a game
In the end the struggle's just the same
Winter's cold and lonely
When you find your life stripped down to the bone
All we know all we see all we really have
Is our own
Could it be jealousy?
A bed for your anger and blame?
Is it just fantasy?
Some kind of bitter un-ending disease
Winter's cold and lonely
When you find your life stripped down to the bone
All we know all we see all we really have
Is our own
Winter's cold and lonely
When you find your life stripped down to the bone
All we know all we see all we really have
Is our own

Smoke soaked into the floors
(Boxes boxes bottles and boxes, rails and tracks and trippin' foxes)
Haven't we been here before?
(Sleep sleep distant sleep spring the morning spirit seep)
Someone told me we should stay away
Now my neighbor has come back this way
Doesn't matter anymore what we say to the kids they're gonna do it anyway
Ooooh anyway

It's not the way that it should be
It's not the way for you and me

Where do you want to be?
(Desire is a permanent stain)
What would you like to see?
(Your life is a mighty decision)
It's all around us all around us
Won't you come out of the darkness and into my arms?
There's no need to fear we'll be waiting here
Out of the darkness and into the light
The sun is rising soon step out of the night
Come out come out come out come out wherever you are
(Won't you come out?)
Come out come out come out come out wherever you are
(Wherever you are)
Come out come out come out come out wherever you are
Won't you come out?
Ehhh ooohh
What is truth that you seek? (How do we do what matters?)
What do we tolerate?
(How do we find our vision)
It's all within us all within us
Won't you come out of the darkness and into my arms?
There's no need to fear we'll be waiting here
Out of the darkness and into the light
The sun is rising soon step out of the night
Come out come out come out come out wherever you are
(Won't you come out?)
Come out come out come out come out wherever you are
(Wherever you are)
Come out come out come out come out wherever you are
Won't you come out?
Eehhh ooohh

A fly on the wall
All eyes open wide
Does he know it all?
Drifting out of time
Searching for a sign
Sun and snow will fall
Ahhh
Re-incarnation
Once was here can live again
We want invention
Driving toward the days ahead
Never getting old
Quest for minors gold
No end in sight
It's all in the song
Live with blinders on
Reflection bending light of our vision
Re-incarnation
Once was here can live again
We want invention
Driving toward the days ahead
There's no time that I've already wasted
My life's unwinding I can not replace it at all
(Holding on too strong)
A farmer plants his seed of shattered dreams of second chances lost below
(There's no end to possibilities)
Re-incarnation
Once was here can live again
We want invention
Driving toward the days ahead
Driving toward the days ahead
Driving toward the days ahead

Do I give it away?
Do I keep it locked up?
Do I give it away?
Do I keep it locked up?
I see you in the pages of a magazine
You are so beautiful so neat and so clean
The lines of your body I'd like to caress
I'm such an addict I must confess
Do I give it away?
Do I keep it locked up?
Do I give it away?
Do I keep it locked up?
Now I have you in my arms
The chase if over you've lost your charm
I need more than you to fill my heart
Don't know how I could go back to start
Do I give it away?
Do I keep it locked up?
Do I give it away?
Do I keep it locked up?
Cuz ya never know when you might need it
Cuz ya never know when you might need it
Cuz ya never know
Never know
Never know
When you might need it
It's good to have around

Bags have been packed since late last night
My suit is pressed and my shirt is white
I've got a non stop one way flight
And I'm going home
The last few weeks have been a blast
Seems like twenty years have passed
Our flags are flying at half mast
And now I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
Now you can leave me alone
I'm going home
Now I'm sitting here wringing my hands
Remember when I was on that stand
The trumpets were blasting from that marching band
Now I'm going home
Mountains fall and oceans rise
Babies are born and old men die
But I'll keep being that same old guy
And now I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
Now you can leave me alone
I'm going home
All my friends back home are mad
So are my brothers so is dad
I don't think I did that bad
Now I'm going home
No one wants to be here with me
Everyone spits and sneers at me
And y'all never had that beer with me
Now I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
Now you can leave me alone
I'm going
He's going home
He's going home
Now he can leave us alone
He's going home

How can a man you can't even stand want to keep on hangin' around?
Thinks he's moving toward something he needs but still hasn't found
Living lies through others eyes no world of his own
Can't compromise but he still tries though he doesn't want to be alone
You deserve more
Haven't found what you're lookin' for
Just turn around
And find a new direction
This is a lesson 'bout a vicious regression that won't allow you to grow
Sometimes it's hard to get rid of your obsession when you know you gotta let it go
You deserve more
Haven't found what you're lookin' for
Just turn around
And find a new direction
Oh but it's not too late
You can have all you want and more
So try not to hesitate
You deserve what you've been striving for
You deserve more
Haven't found what you're lookin' for
Just turn around
And find a new direction
