Salt Lake Jam
I know a girl who sold her soul to the world
A chance to break into the largest lakes
Get away!
Bitter she weeps, the tears they stain her cheeks
She dwells on the past, and things that never will last
She's like a caterpillar who crosses the road but it doesn't even know
She's like a black crow in the snow in the cold who sings for fools gold
And it's the sweet sound.
It carries her on, she's weak but it's strong
And it's the sweet sound.
It comes around, she finds herself.
And it's the sweet sound.
She gets so high, she's high as a kite
And it's the sweet sound.
She falls in love, she falls in love.
Every time!!
She is a queen, sun kissed by her dreams
She sits on her throne believing all she's told
She's like a caterpillar who crosses the road but it doesn't even know
She's like a black crow in the snow in the cold who sings for fools gold
And it's the sweet sound.
It carries her on, she's weak but it's strong
And it's the sweet sound.
It comes around, she finds herself.
And it's the sweet sound.
She gets so high, she's high as a kite
And it's the sweet sound.
She falls in love, she falls in love.
I spent some time talking about our great decline
It's been 3 years, she still finding out.
And it's the sweet sound.
It carries her on, she's weak but it's strong
And it's the sweet sound.
It comes around, she finds herself.
And it's the sweet sound.
She gets so high, she's high as a kite
And it's the sweet sound.
She falls in love, she falls in love.
Every time!!
Handful Of Names
Handful of names
Gonna put them someplace safe
So I don't have to face another day, yeah
Been running on the side
It does not feel right
Cause I don't have the rush to take away, yeah
Over and over and over again, yeah again.
And these are the things that I want you to hear
Throw away though and replace it with fear
The time is now, the place is here.
The song that we wanted was sung by the free
The newspaper headlines and no melody.
The time is now, so sing it for me
Better get it right cause I can't start over
From the moment I'm awake, I think about the states
And whether I should just go back to sleep instead, yeah.
A reasonless mind, and at that place and time
I started learning how it feels to be alone
Over and over and over again, yeah again.
And these are the things that I want you to hear
Throw away though and replace it with fear
The time is now, the place is here.
The song that we wanted was sung by the free
The newspaper headlines but no melody.
The time is now, so sing it for me
You better get it right.
I know someday when we get old
We can talk about the day that I came home
And these are the things that I want you to hear
Throw away though and replace it with fear
The time is now, the place is here.
The song that we wanted was sung by the free
The newspaper headlines but no melody.
The time is now, so sing it for me
You better get it right.
Cause I can't start over.
Your Intentions
You don't have any intentions
of finishing what you have started
Do you? Do you?
And at the start of something different
You realize just whats been missing
Do you? Do you?
And round and round
You're fighting your hesitation
And yet so close
But there's always some resignation
You need control
Like strings on a puppet
Learning how to love it
Ohh...
You know all the games that you play
But yo don't realize how much you've changed
Do you? Do you?
And I know all your reasons for leaving
I really hope she has some meaning
Do you? Do you?
And round and round
You're fighting your hesitation
And yet so close
But there's always some resignation
You need control
Like strings on a puppet
Learning how to love it
Ohh...
There's a line in your mind
And I see now it's clearly defined
You're no good, you're not well, you don't need him to know it's not right
The intention is not for commitment to prize to steep
But it's growing on you to lick your teeth
Ohh...
And round and round
You're fighting your hesitation
And yet so close
But there's always some resignation
You need control
Like strings on a puppet
Learning how to love it
Ohh...
Diamonds In The Hillside
Diamonds in the hillside, they're sparkling for me
But upon a closer look, those diamonds all were crooks
They were just stealing my heart
Stealing my heart from you
Cherry blossoms blooming on a late afternoon
There's a melody I hear, but it still is quite unclear
A lazy eye swallows me whole
I'm standing on thin ice again
Then I changed for the world.
Ooooo
And I wear it so well.
Ooooo
Did I change for the worst?
Ooooo
Only time will tell
Raindrops on the windshield they're catching my eyes
They were falling with such grace until they washed away
Leaving a dashing display
No single one looked the same.
Then I changed for the world.
Ooooo
And I wear it so well.
Ooooo
Did I change for the worst?
Ooooo
Only time will tell.
Diamonds and cherry's
The critical mass
All had their hands involved
Diamonds and cherry's
The critical mass
All took a hold me of
Then I changed for the world.
Ooooo
And I wear it so well.
Ooooo
Did I change for the worst?
Ooooo
Only time will tell.
Then I changed for the world.
Ooooo
And I wear it so well.
Ooooo
Did I change for the worst?
Ooooo
Only time will tell.
The piano don't sing like it did…
Change
Do what you want
Just as long as you don't get caught
You'll always know
But that's not how you were taught
See I don't know if you should come back to your home
It's not what she would have wanted
You're never gonna stop
Letting people down unless you change
Yeah, it's easier just to stay the same.
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you
All that we gave never seemed to be enough
To fill in the space that grows as time gets tough
Letting its go wouldn't be the end of it all
It's harder to start over.
You're never gonna stop
Letting people down unless you change
Yeah, it's easier just to stay the same.
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you change
Yeah it's easier just to stay the same
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you
Breaking out, say hello to all the friends that you forgot about
Same old routine, if you don't wanna break it, I'm not gonna make you change
Yeah it's easier just to stay the same
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you change
Yeah it's easier just to stay the same
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you
Sinking Is Swimming
Black sun, white horse, and down in the valley
Was once, now is no more
The river is turning all bloody
Night is young
The moon is full
The walls are all out to get me
The days have grown long
My heart has grown cold
From the poison you keep on feeding
I am still learning now.
Sinking is swimming.
I am still learning now.
Sinking is swimming.
Mark Like Mine
i remembered almost everything you said
but i forgot to write it down
getting lost is such an easy thing to do
so if you can hear me then theres one thing i will ask of you
think of me when you fall asleep
can promise you will never be lonely
if we can agree that we will make it through eventually
i promise you will never be lonely
theres a mark like mine that sits on your left hand
never had a match before
i can only see it when you wave goodbye
so you should only use your left hand when holding on
think of me when you fall asleep
can promise you will never be lonely
if we can agree that we will make it through eventually
i promise you will never be lonely
Let It Ring
I never heard a sound as big as you
Even when I was old
Everything seemed new
Let it ring, let it ring
Until the walls start caving in
You're getting love from everyone
It's not enough to save you from…
I'd burn this house if I thought it slow you down
It gets so lonely when you're living underground
Let it ring, let it ring
Until the walls start caving in
You're getting love from everyone
It's not enough to save you from…
Oh, oh, oh ooo. Oh, oh, oh ooo.
Oh, oh, oh ooo. Oh, oh, oh ooo.
My help you didn't see it
Your pride, could not be beaten
You came to push and needed
This lives not to be cheated
Let it ring, let it ring
Until the walls start caving in
You're getting love from everyone
It's not enough to save you from…
Let it ring, let it ring
Until the walls start caving in
You're getting love from everyone
It's not enough to save you…
Looking Alive
We came together with a notion
Reviewing now, I'm at a loss
Along the way we lost our vision
And records now are all we've got.
Looking alive without breathing
Standing still in a photograph
Falling in love without thinking
Making moves trying to bring it back.
Surrender now to intuition
Forget it all that we were taught
Still making all our own decisions
It doesn't take a lot of thought.
Looking alive without breathing,
Standing still in a photograph.
Falling in love without thinking.
Making moves trying to bring it back.
Looking alive without breathing,
Standing still in a photograph.
Falling in love without thinking.
Making moves trying to bring it back.
As we stand here, eyes wide open
we begin to see how quickly this becomes a faded memory
Looking alive without breathing,
Standing still in a photograph.
Falling in love without thinking.
Making moves trying to bring it back.
Looking alive without breathing,
Standing still in a photograph.
Falling in love without thinking.
Making moves trying to bring it back.
Drought Of 2001
The drought of 2001
It still goes on and on
Sometimes I wonder where I went wrong
Shoulda stayed here.
Shoulda stayed here.
It's been too long of a year
The colors gone from this place.
I spend a lifetime waiting oh for you, oh.
Oh, for you.
These are feelings I hate.
For so long can't get them out of my head.
Cause everybody knows,
something's always show feelings because of you.
It's dark on Mountainview Rd.
Time is pushing me forward.
Your footprints are so cool on my heart,
they won't leave me
They won't leave.
These are feelings I hate.
For so long can't get them out of my head.
Cause everybody knows,
something's always show feelings because of you.
No shadows left on minute places
Lately I've been trading faces
One by one
I can't stop holding on
Looks the way you pour that in petition.
Change your mind, imposition
Darling now what have you done?
These are feelings I hate.
For so long can't get them out of my head.
Cause everybody knows,
something's always show feelings because of you.
Cause everybody knows,
something's always show feelings because of you.
Money
Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, la la la.
Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, la la la.
Jenny's got a brand new car,
She drives it past 90
Up and down the stars boulevards
She even looks the part.
And everyone on my block is getting bigger
the handshakes are getting stronger than ever
I like the way they walk.
But you don't got nothing but money,
And the money gets the best of you.
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave.
Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, la la la.
Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, la la la.
The shots you took they went to your head
You're playing Tom Petty better than he plays himself
God bless you're used to your wealth
And look who's on the late night TV
Your presence is stellar
Andy always thought you were better back at his school indeed
But you don't got nothing but money,
And the money gets the best of you.
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave.
Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, OOOO
Oh the big machines, how they push you through.
You're climbing the stairs, you're going somewhere
Congratulations!
What you gonna do when they're all over you?
I've seen it before, you're dropped at the door
No money, no more.
But you don't got nothing but money,
And the money gets the best of you.
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave.
I said you don't got nothing but money,
And the money gets the best of you.
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave on through.
I said hey man you don't know, because this means nothing to you.
I said hey man you don't know, all the shit that I went through.
Take Me With You
It's so dark now that I can hardly tell
If my eyes are closed or open.
Yeah I've got no way of knowing
It's so quiet now, I can't sleep at all tonight.
And all I can hear are my lungs breathing
and the sound of my heart beating.
Take me with you
I can't seem to
get these thought out of my mind
every time I close my eyes
Now I'm feeling like a blind man seeing
that the problem's in my head and not my eyes
Your example now is not much of a help
But it doesn't matter much to me, I'm thinking for myself
I'm drinking now from a different well
And I'm drawing from the deepest, so I don't go to hell
Take me with you
I can't seem to
get these thought out of my mind
every time I close my eyes
Now I'm feeling like a blind man seeing
that the problem's in my head and not my eyes
