Driving for 99 hours, I've lost my soul
I don't see the road
It's so damn cold
But at least, I've got my humor.
Sinking in mud, I think it's love
I'm so fed up with waking up
At negative six in the morning
I just wanna read Calvin & Hobbes
Laid out on a log with booze in my mug
Getting drunk cuz I've got no job
And what the hell is time?
Tired of virtual games and virtual loves
this virtual life, this virtual drug.
Staring at a lit-up screen.
I got a pretty girl writing me things
But I've no clue what it means
I'm a little more concerned with leaves

I am chemistry
The way I thought it'd always be
No proof of ghosts and prayers
No sign of pretty life out there
When I was young how could I be so bold?
I told her that soul don't exist
My lovely caller
I see you in the trees and water
But I told her souls don't exist
So she don't trust scientists anymore
I heard her singing songs as I stared into the pond
What was once a pristine lab
Is now a dusty picture from the past
I haven't put my lab coat on
Since the day that things went wrong
She left to be a star
Left in the night in my old car
Star shining.

I'm a little rusty at this
Forgive me if this seems amiss
I saw the humans dancing
They seem to be in total bliss
Life in your own colors
Filter out the hue that got you
Down
Stars in black and white
Roll the credits once our happiness is found
Roll the credits, take a bow
Teach me how to find it
And I'll teach you how to fly this ship
Teach me how to get her
And I'll teach you how to turn to mist

Carousel Lights

|

Merry-go-round
On a summer night
The light on your eyes
Like endless stars
My heart sings
Remember when we watched the sunset
On the Hollywood Hills together
Awake and asleep
In a dream
I want to stay
But you snapped out
Lying in bed
Your hands explore mine
I try to save this moment
Gone in the dark
But your eyes
Like carousel lights
That old ride
Will shut down and fade away
That old ride
Into ever-receding time

Danger Lights
04:04
|

You and I drinking black coffee
And I'm staring at your boots
Counting the straps
And it's always little times like this
Where I go back to reminisce
Cuz now I feel so far from there
The danger lights were right above
I panicked, but I stared
And the flames they circled round
And the light shone down
Right on me
I think it's alright to be scared
I need you, but you'd never believe I'm here
Look at the fire in the sky
I was a boy swimming in the pond
Where the crickets sang their songs
But somewhere I forgot
How we got here

Starlight

You are the only one
Searching for me
The chairs sit in the den
An old forgotten friend
You are the only one
In my picture frame
Lost in you and me
A sordid fantasy
It's all gone
I try to really speak
It's all lost
You never hear me
Now I'm gone
And all that comforts me
Is starlight in my dreams
It's all I ever see
You are the only one
Searching for me
I try to give you time
I'm memorizing lines
You are the only one
Keeping me here
First we'll hide in woods
My final frontier

Feeling Lost
03:38
|

|
It's been too long
Since you wrote me a song
About all those flying lights
That you saw at your bedside
Have you ever felt lost
Where you'll never recall
The walls of your old pictures
We lounged inside the den
You made an honest friend
Out of me
When you looked in the mirror
You seemed a little off
It didn't sit quite right
At your bedside

Floating Alien Dream
02:30
|
|||
|
When I was just a pip
Those grassy hills, they used to dip
And I would spin in place
Until I flew through outer space
I never thought I'd meet
A slimy, spooky, scary creep
Who heard just what I said
And only cared what's in my head
They couldn't see my stupid hair
Or my lack of dental care
They couldn't see at all
They just sensed my inner soul
These galactic China dolls
Were just floating lights I saw
All they were was energy
They were devoid of paranoia
They had no sense of me
I'd rather be a beam
Floating through a dream

Maybe I'll Come Around
02:47
|
|||
|
Maybe I'll come around
When I'm tired of feeling down
Maybe we can work it out
Come on darling, let me in
What is my disguise?
What am I trying to hide?

We are a field of flowers
Some grow in the shade
I never saw their real colors
To me, they just looked gray
It was the time of my life
But if you asked me about it
I might've lied
We can never go back
When creatures feel so alone
You don't know what they're worth
Cuz that ain't their soul
We can never go back
