Set Phasers To Stun
04:02
|
|||
Once more around the horn
Can’t die until you’re born
Landslides everywhere
Pass by without a care
And set your phase to stun
Take off when you hear the crack
Run like you're not coming back
That ball is out of here
Knocked it into next year
Take a chance
It’s all that you can do
Take your chance
There’s nothing left to lose

Forever
05:07
|
|||
Alright
I think I got it right
OK
I think I know my way from here
These are the days
These are the days I know
I could look at you forever
Because there's so much to see
Alright
I think we've got it right
OK
I think we know our way from here
These are the days
These are the days I know

The Usual Place
03:37
|
|||
If you want to have some fun
Meet me at the usual place
Your friends will all be there
Having fun in the usual ways
With the lights turned down
And the music turned way up loud
Everybody's getting crazy
With the usual crowd
You've been so damn lonely
And I've been so damn lonely
I've been so lonely I could cry
You've been so damn lonely
And I've been so damn lonely
I don't want to think about it
I just want to move beyond it
Just give me a look; it's alright
Any trick in the book, it's alright
Have some fun with me tonight
You'll find you're not the only
One feeling lost and lonely
If you want to have some fun
And forget about the boo hoo hoo
Strangers will be waiting for a chance to say
"Who are you?"
Look 'em in the eye and ask 'em
"hey what's your name?"
Soon you will be getting on
In the usual ways

Carolina
05:07
|
|||
I open my eyes to the pouring rain
But I know the skies will be blue again
I can't be like everyone else
There's only one place I really fit in
Carolina, where I belong
Carolina, I'm coming home
I want to wake up when the birds start to sing
And rock on the porch in the rusty old swing
And I'll hear you just starting to wake
You'll look at me with that smile on your face

You'll Be Coming With Me
04:00
|
|||
You wanted a shot
And that’s what you got
But they don’t come around no more
You’re wasting your time
Drinking your wine
So hear me out
Because all of your crying
Won’t bring them back
But who needs ‘em anyway?
I was there when the cold winds blew
Saw the things that were done to you
I just hope when it all is through
You’ll be coming with me
So open your eyes
Is this a surprise?
I was here all along
There’s no need to wait
I think that you’re great!
So smile again
Because all your crying
Won’t bring them back
But who needs ‘em anyway?
Even if all the lies were true
I can see all the best in you
I just hope when it all is through
You’ll be coming with me

This Time
03:44
|
|||
It all lies with me now
Head out into the dawn
Luck may come my way
I'll try to make it back some day
The battle's lost but the war is won
Turn my face to the sun
Life has its tricks to play
I'll try tot make it back some day
I feel the weight
Of my mistakes
Just kiss them goodbye
Just one more chance
Forget the past
I won’t let you down
This time
All lies with you now
Come back and show me how
Once we could meet as friends
Let’s get together once again

I Don't Mind
06:00
|
|||
Everywhere you go
Everyone you know
Everything we say
And all the games we play
I don’t mind
Right on time
You get me so high
Rocket to the sky
Rattling my brain
Driving me insane
Let's go to the stars
You know they're not that far
Take me to the moon
We won’t be back too soon
|
||||
8. |
||||
All at once my mind was shutting down
All at once I felt my body hit the ground
All at once the stars were in my eyes
All at once all the world was hypnotized
Ah
Everyone has lost their mind and...
I miss yours, and I miss mine
So close your eyes
And hold on tight
It’s going to be a bumpy ride
All at once it seemed to fall apart
All at once something happened to our hearts

Blue Monte Carlo
04:08
|
|||
Blue Monte Carlo, where did our time go?
I still recall
Your perfect interior, paint job superior
V8 of course
Parked in the driveway; waiting, patient
Blue Monte Carlo, my true amigo
I hope you know
I would get you back if I knew how
I could not know then what I know now
Blue Monte Carlo, summers went so slow
You had my back
My solid companion, a steel D'Artagnan
And she made three
Hoping the cops were just cruising elsewhere
Blue Monte Carlo, the world's a casino
I hope you know
Blue Monte Carlo, where did the time go?
A brand new world
Of life as a grown up, the good and the bad luck
So much to know
They warned me things could get ugly quickly
My roller coaster, you're probably a toaster
I hope you know

Another UFO
04:58
|
|||
Oh no
Another UFO
Come from God knows where
And circling our world
Are you friend or foe?
It seemed so
Now we know
Oh yes
What got us in this mess?
One more crazy dream
Comes crashing back to earth
Just like all the rest
|
||||
11. |
||||
It’s been so long
You've turned around
I’ve been waiting for this
And now it’s fine
To see you smile
I’ve been waiting
For you to come back
Give it a little time
Wonder what we might find
Maybe we’ll get it right tonight
Through all the storms
Our love transforms
I’ve been waiting for this
So jump for joy
And make some noise
I’ve been waiting

Cast From Paradise
04:39
|
|||
People, what have we done?
Mother, look at your son
Cast from Paradise
This tiny blue pearl
Can we destroy
Such a world?
Maybe there is a chance
We’ll wake up from this trance
How could we let it go?
We know all we need to know
Maybe its not too late
To take better care of this place
