NEXT THING I KNOW, I’M ON THE ROAD
TO I-DON’T-KNOW WHERE
I’M SEARCHIN FOR THE SIGNS
CAN YOU TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN CONFIDENCE AND ARROGANCE?
WELL, I’M LOOKING TO DRAW THE LINE
THIS GIRL, SHE CAN BE A BLANK SLATE
IN THE BEST WAY, AND
THIS WOMAN, SHE’S A LOST ART
THIS GIRL, SHE’S SO COMPLICATED, EDUCATED
IN THE MATTERS OF THE TWISTED HEART
SHE’S A CURSIVE GIRL,
SHE’S SO DAMN HARD TO READ
I THINK I’M CURSED GIRL,
YOU’RE EXACTLY WHAT I NEED
PUT ON A RECORD, LIGHT A MATCH
DO YOU WANT TO LIVE THERE?
AMONG THE LETTERS AND LANDLINES
IS THERE REALLY A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN YOUNG AND OLD, NEW AND USED
FOR THOSE WHO TURN BACK TIME?
SOME SAY, WE’RE LIKE SO OUTDATED, I’M FASCINATED
THAT PEN DOES NOT LEAVE THE PAGE
SOME SAY, THIS SORT OF ELEGANCE IS UNDERRATED
THERE SIMPLY IS NO OTHER WAY
FOR THE CURSIVE GIRL,
THE WORDS ARE ALL COMBINED
WE REHEARSED IT, GIRL,
SO WHY DON’T YOU KNOW YOUR LINES?

TODAY I’LL TRY
TO MAKE AMENDS WITH ALL OUR HEADS
TODAY I’LL TRY TO WAKE UP WITH THE SUN
TODAY HE’LL FIND THE WILL OF WINTERS PAST, IT SAYS,
“BELIEVE THAT I’M ALIVE,” USED TO FEEL ALIVE
BUT NOW I’VE GOTTA FIGHT, SO TODAY I’LL TRY
IT’S BREEDING TIME
TWICE IN EVERY SUPERMOON
WHEN I CAN SEE THE LIGHT, LOOK STRAIGHT AT THE SUN
TODAY HE’LL WRITE THE LEGISLATION THAT I’LL USE
TO PROVE THAT I’M ALIVE, TODAY HE’S GONNA WRITE
TODAY I SURVIVE, IT’S BREEDING TIME
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SUCH A LONG TIME
WHERE YOU BEEN, MAN? I DIED
TODAY I’M JUST A FLY
WITH MINUTES LEFT TO LIVE, MY LOVE,
TODAY I’M GONNA FLY STRAIGHT INTO THE SUN
AND I WON’T LIE, I CAME TO BEAT THE ODDS I ALWAYS
KNEW I COULD DEFY, SO POUR A GLASS OF WHITE
DIRECT ME TOWARD THE LIGHT, HERE’S TO THIS PRECIOUS LIFE
HERE’S TO THIS LITTLE LIE

I’VE GOT A LOT OF AMBITION,
I’VE GOT A LOT OF STUPID HOPES,
A FEW LUCID DREAMS
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
I’M SO TIRED OF DRIVING
I’LL DRIVE AROUND THE WORLD AGAIN
SEE THE SAME OLD THINGS,
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS?
SALVATION IN A MUSTARD YELLOW SUBARU
DESTINATION IS WHEREVER YOU PLAN ON GOING TO
COSMIC DANCER, OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, I CAN SEE A
MARC BOLAN STICKER ON YOUR CAR
DON’T DRIVE AWAY
PUT ON YOUR BRAKES
I WANNA GO WHERE YOU GO, I WANNA BE WHERE YOU ARE
I WANNA SEE YOU AT THE BALLROOMS OF MARS
I CAN’T TELL, DO YOU GET THE REFERENCE?
OR ARE YOU JUST ANOTHER POSER
LIKE EVERYONE
THAT I ALREADY KNOW AND LOVE
I’M SHAKIN, I’M SO EXCITED
MY HEART IS IN MY THROAT AGAIN
AND MY HOPES ARE HIGH
DO YOU WANNA SLIDE?
DETERMINATION GOES WHEREVER I CAN FOLLOW YOU
A MORAL OBLIGATION FOR ANOTHER CHILD OF THE REVOLUTION,
ALL I WANT IS SOME OF YOUR SOLID GOLD, EASY ACTION
WE COULD SPEND THE EVENINGS BENEATH THE MAMBO SUN

I’VE GOT TWO HANDS I CAN PUT ON THE WHEEL
BUT I’VE GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO DRIVE
SO MANY THINGS THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT
BUT NOTHIN COMES TO MIND, I’M
POST LOVE, BUT I’M PRE-DESTINY
POST LOVE, SOME KIND OF PURGATORY
POST LOVE, I CAN’T HEAR OVER THE SILENCE
POST LOVE
I DON’T HAVE TO LOCK UP ALL MY THINGS
THERE’S NOTHIN LEFT TO STEAL
I’M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LONGEST MOVIE
IT’S A MOVIE I NEVER GET TO SEE, I’M
POST LOVE, I HAD IT ALL DOWN, ALL DOWN TO A TEA
POST LOVE, SO GET UP, GET UP AND LEAVE
POST LOVE, THE CREDITS ARE ROLLIN
POST LOVE

I GOT CAUGHT IN THE POURIN RAIN CHECKS
I NEARLY MISSED MY TRAIN WRECK
I’VE BEEN STRUTTIN IN A STRAIGHT LINE
TRYIN JUST TO BEAT MY CLOCK
HAD TO GET MY SHOES SHINED,
NOW I’M COMIN AROUND THE BLOCK
I’M SO CLOSE, SO CLOSE TO YOU DARLIN
I’M GONNA FALL, I’M GONNA FALL INTO YOU, DARLIN
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BE SO FAR AWAY
WHY CAN’T EVERY DAY BE JUST LIKE TODAY, ALL THIS
ANTICIPATION NAVIGATING TANGLED VEINS
REJUVENATION IN THE EYES OF HURRICANES
I’M SO CLOSE, I’M MAKIN A BEELINE
I’M GONNA CRAWL, ON ALL FOURS LIKE A FELINE
I’M GONNA FALL, LET ME FALL, INTO YOU...

Same Old Secrets

|
EVERYBODY’S GOT THE SAME OLD SECRETS
BUT NO ONE WANTS TO SPILL
ALL YOUR FAVORITE IDOLS ARE BURNING
HOLD YOUR BREATH, STAND STILL
INTERNALIZE, KEEP INSIDE
ALL THAT YOU LOVE, ALL THAT YOU DESPISE
EVERY DAY’S JUST A WASTE OF A
PERFECTLY FINE PAIR OF LIPS
I’M KEEPING TABS ON THE TOO MANY TIMES
THAT YOUR TONGUE SLIPS, TONGUE SLIPS
IT’S A HUMAN THING, TIME AND SPACE
ALL THAT I LOVE, IT’S IN YOUR FACE

BACK THROUGH ALL THE BIG-SKY COUNTRY
SLEEPLESS IN A NOTHIN TOWN
I’M TRYIN TO COLOR IN THE FREEWAY LINES,
GOLD AND WHITE
NOT QUITE SURE WHAT I’LL COME HOME TO
SWEET SUN AND IGNORANT BLISS
ANYTHING BUT THE YEAR-LONG SOLAR ECLIPSE
I’VE BEEN LIVIN IN
REALWORLDLIFE
REAL WORLD LIFE
REALWORLDLIFE
IT’S GETTIN REAL
WE’RE ALL A LITTLE UNEASY
IT’S BEEN SO HARD TO UNWIND
AND WHEN WE OPEN OUR EYES, IT’S NIGHT--
THERE’S NO LIGHT IN
REALWORLDLIFE
REAL WORLD LIFE
REALWORLDLIFE
IT’S GETTIN REAL

WHEN I GROW UP, I WANNA BE AN ANARCHIST
AN ANARCHIST, AFRAID OF THE LAW
I FLEW TO CHICAGO, FOOLED BY ANCIENT LORE
2000 MILES, MAN--NOW I’M BACK AT THE START
SPENT SOME TIME ON THE ROAD
TOOK THE LONGEST WAY TO GO
TRIED TO FIND MY WAY TO YOU
WOUND UP IN TUVALU
FOLLOWS ME WHEREVER I TRY TO GO
POINT B TO POINT B NEVER SEEMED SO SLOW
WHEN THE TOWN GOES OUT ON ME AND MY FRIENDS
WE WANDER AROUND, IT’S ALL THAT WE KNOW
WE TALK ‘BOUT LEAVIN BUT WE KNOW IT'S PRETEND
WE’LL END UP BACK AT HOME
COULDN’T FIND A PLACE TO PARK
EVERYONE’S IN SEPARATE CARS
HOW MANY STEETS DO YOU GOTTA CROSS
TRYING TO GET ONESELF
LOST IN A WHIRLWIND OF STOPS SIGNS-- OH NO
FOLLOWS ME WHEREVER I TRY TO GO
CONVOLUTION / DISILLUSION / NO SOLUTION

I HAVE BARFED
I HAVE SHIT MY PANTS
THIS IS VERY BAD
IT IS TIME TO GO HOME NOW
I HAVE BARFED
I HAVE SHIT MY PANTS
THIS IS VERY BAD
IT IS TIME TO GO HOME...
NOW, THAT YOU GUYS ARE GONE,
ALL THAT I HAVE ARE FELONS
EVERY THING THAT I WANNA DO IS AGAINST THE LAW
HERE IN THIS ABANDONED HOUSE
WAITING TO BE SET ON FIRE...
BUT I’M NOT THE EXTRA ONE
SHAZAM
