Don't Care
03:01

Can’t see nothing but smoke and ash
This thing sure blew up fast
There’s disaster everywhere
Don’t tell your mama ‘cause
She don’t care
She don’t care no more
No use waiting for help to come
There’s trouble for everyone
Wreckage here and chaos there
Don’t tell your mama ‘cause
She don’t care

Brand New Sun
03:40
|
|||
|
Here we go again
Hanging out with all our friends
Lots of songs to play
Once again let’s just bang away
There’s a brand new sun today
Nothing standing in our way
There’s a brand new sun today
So let’s get moving
Can’t forget the good old days
And all the friends we lost along the way
All we have is time
All the rest will have to get in line

Wrap Me Up
04:20
|
|||
|
I can’t believe
The things I see
It’s like a fog
Coming for me
Wrap me up in your arms
Keep me safe from all harm
There is no fear
When you are near
You’re my refuge
So please stay here

Take Me To The Sky
03:43
|
|||
|
Take me to the sky
I'm taking off tonight
Won't be coming back here for a while
The Captain says it's time
The flight attendant smiles
The world is disappearing once again
They say that there's a new frontier
How the hell did I end up here?
Far away from everything I thought that I would be
When I was just a boy
I'd sit and dream for hours
I was a fighter pilot in the sky
I would strafe the enemy lines
Barely get back to my base alive
Shooting down the Me-109s, it was so cool
They say that there's a new frontier
How the hell did I end up here?
The Dawn Patrol, the pirates and the cowboys all went home

Come Back
06:09
|
|||
|
I called your number
So many times today
Your mama said
You have gone away
No card or letter
Telling me goodbye
All I can do
Is hang my head and cry
Come back darling
Back where you belong
Without your love
This house just ain’t a home

Dream A Dream Unspoken
03:27
|
|||
|
Look around
Everyone is focused
On the moment just gone by
Take a chance
Risk complete exposure
To the world at hand
Step outside and take
A closer look around
See the beauty of
This life
Listen up
This is not rehearsal
The clock is ticking every day
Close your eyes
Dream a dream unspoken
It will surely find you

Hold Me Close
05:23
|
|||
|
There was a time
Not long ago
I wouldn’t believe
What I now know
Life changes fast
That is for sure
And there are things
We must endure
Hold me close one more time
For now we must say goodbye
It’s hard to think
Of moving on
But there’s no choice
Soon I’ll be gone
What was then
And what is now
And what the future holds
Will work somehow
Hold me close one more time
For now we must say goodbye
Oh my love I’ll miss you so
For now I know I have to gos

Fireworks
03:05
|
|||
|
Do you believe that rock ‘n’ roll
Is gonna come and save your soul?
Will you make noise with all your friends
Until you reach the bitter end?
Running around from place to place
Searching for a friendly face
Life is short and life is strange
Got to find the biggest bang
It’s no use wondering
What put this in our heart?
We’re just waiting
Waiting for the fireworks to start
The truth is quite beyond belief
Ten thousand watts will bring relief
Sounds that almost stop your heart
Sounds to tear the world apart

What Was I To Do
02:31
|
|||
|
Killing time
Crossed the line
Never thought it out
Nerves attack
Can’t get back
Want to turn back time
What was I to say?
What was I to do?
Everything just changed
In a moment
No way out
Scream and shout
They can't hear me now
Find a way
Maybe someday
I can get back home

Beyond Our Senses
04:03
|
|||
|
You rolled the dice
One or twice
But the rainbow’s end
Was never found
In all of this time
You say it’s fine
But we all want to know
How to get it ‘right’
If I could tell you how
We’d both be there by now
Some things are just
Beyond our senses
Have we reached the end?
Is this all my friend?
What has happened here?
Was it worth the time?
I’ll not forget
All the things we’ve said
And we’ll just keep wondering
How to get it ‘right’

Requiem
04:20

In spite all of the struggle
And the crazy days gone by
I still think of you
I miss you so
