Standing on a building
I am a lightning rod And all these clouds are so familiar Descending from the mountain tops The gods are threatening But I will return an honest soldier Home... Steady on this high-rise Like every lightning rod And all these clouds are boiling over Swimming in adrenaline The sky is caving in But I will remain the honest soldier Home... |

Shining like a work of art
Hanging on a wall of stars Are you what I think you are? You're my satellite You're riding with me tonight Passenger side, lighting the sky Always the first star that I find You're my satellite Elevator to the moon Whistling our favorite tune Trying to get a closer view You're my satellite You're riding with me tonight Passenger side, lighting the sky Always the first star that I find You're my satellite Maybe you will always be Just a little out of reach You're my satellite You're riding with me tonight Passenger side, lighting the sky Always the first star that I find You're my satellite You're my satellite |

Bones are broken and the will is sunk
How did everything get so fucked up? Do you want to change your mind? You can always change your mind You and I could quit this scene Build a town and then secede Like an Adam and an Eve 'Cause to the dreamers go the dreams But believers have the lead It's a frightening, frightening thing Born to the land of opportunity Of manifest destiny Do you want to change your mind? You can always change your mind You and I could quit this scene Build a town and then secede Like an Adam and an Eve To the dreamers go the dreams But believers have the lead It's a frightening, frightening thing The Moon and stars are ganging up on the Sun Rebellion Everybody, the sky is falling down Friends and lovers, the world is coming down Down, down Down, down |

I built a time machine
I'm going to see the homecoming queen Take her to the Christmas dance Maybe now I'll get in her pants Whatever Back with my high school friends Meeting where the train tracks end Passing round a skinny joint Rolling up to Lookout Point I want to pull it apart and put it back together I want to relive all my adolescent dreams Inspired by true events on movie screens I am a one man wrecking machine Back in my parents' house Back to the shouting out loud One day you'll be a man One day you'll understand I want to pull it apart and put it back together I want to relive all my adolescent dreams Inspired by true events on movie screens I am a one man wrecking machine Inspired by true events on movie screens I am a one man wrecking machine Here in the present tense Nothing is making sense Waiting for my moment to come Everything has come undone I tried to pull it apart and put it back together No point in living in those adolescent dreams Inspired by true events on movie screens I am a one man wrecking machine Inspired by true events on movie screens I am a one man wrecking machine |

I've come down with something
I'm frozen, tied up, cast in lead It's simple, so says the captain Face forward, move slow, forge ahead I'm earning a reputation My conscience, mistrust and regret Courageous, just like the captain Marching forward with no doubt in his head Onward Onward Onward Onward |

Welcome
You're under control And buried like a mole A thousand feet below Waiting With all that we've got Our reputation's shot A ninety-story fall No one here can make a sound We're all ghosts in this town We are standing in the trenches Of the new underground Pipe down Stay under control It's getting so absurd Soon everything will turn It's that time To see the Sun There'll be a crack And a day will come Maybe then we'll be the ones Never can be sure The shot heard 'round the world No one here can make a sound We're just ghosts in this town We are standing in the trenches Of the new underground No one here can make a sound We're just ghosts in this town We are standing in the trenches Of the new underground All the walls are coming down We're still hanging around We are digging in the trenches Of the new underground (All right, yeah, all right, uh-huh) (All right, yeah, all right, uh-huh) (Yeah, I got it, uh-huh, all right) (Uh-huh, all right, yeah, uh-huh) (Uh huh, I got it, morning, I know you are) (I got it, I got it, make that shit funky, yeah) |

Tonight
Where do we go from here? The road through Ruby Falls has reached the end And now we're digging in the sand They're promising that help is on the way Love, confession number one Impossible and sorry And judge, can you look the other way? Some things are best unsaid And now where can we go from here When all the morning birds have gone away Two wrongs won't navigate tonight The afterlife is all in the end The afterlife is ours in the end Love, don't look me in the eye Just wash it all down And judge, can you let me run away We're outta here, straight outta here Somewhere down buried in the sand Two birds give out a song And all of Ruby Falls is singin' along Sing along... (...gone and turned away (?)) (...gonna make you pay (?)) |

I look out of my bedroom window pane
Every day, but the view just stays the same I was young I would run straight from this place Come back home and then start it all again I know just what I want, I know just what I need It's a big old house and it's coming back to haunt me We'll be alright, we'll be easy Dont look back, dont look back Just c'mon, c'mon, c'mon Look around at the people in this place I'm afraid that we'll end up the same way So let's rise, dye our hair, and change our names Make a wish and just blow it all away I know just what I want, I know just what I need It's a big old house and its coming back to haunt me We'll be alright, we'll be easy Dont look back, dont look back Just c'mon, c'mon, c'mon We'll be alright, we'll be easy Dont look back, dont look back Just c'mon, c'mon, c'mon Cause you know what you want So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon |

Been the crawl of a mountain
Been a link in a chain I've been scolded for stealing I've been told to behave I've been reading the forecast Something's coming this way But it's taking forever I'm too tired to maintain that I'm slow Been a scratch on the surface Been a clog in the drain I've been melodramatic I've been sleeping for days I've been one in a million Been a million to one This is taking forever Always seems to return that I'm slow All hands up, salute the Empire State Faith be true, you know the way Ten feet tall in this: an empty space Fallen walls all around Destroyed again Destroyed again Been digging to China Been a fish in the sea I've been talking to Jesus But he's not talking to me I've been reading the forecast Something's coming this way But it's taking forever And I'm too tired to maintain that I'm slow All hands up, salute the Empire State Faith is true, she knows the way Ten miles tall in this: an empty space Fallen walls all around We'll build again Rebuild again Been the crawl of a mountain Been a link in a chain Been scolded for stealing Been carted away |

As I fall asleep, to black and white TV
If I float away, in my recurring dream Each winter dreams, electricity And there are words to say And there are songs to sing But I can hardly speak at all Oh, I'm on my way to a holiday in real time Float a mile away, say we'll be OK Dear Valentine Now quietly we peek across the street Perfectly cut, perfectly mean But it's not complete, no not at all Oh, I'm on my way to a holiday in real time Float a mile away, say we'll be OK Dear Valentine |

We're not sentimental
We're just oil-filled machines Trying not to say the things we mean You gotta show us a little love Our big brother tells us That it's something in our genes Pretty soon we'll all be coming clean Gotta show us a little skin I'm the judge and jury I'm the lion and the lamb This is the beginning of the end It's breaking you down We're breaking you down We're unrecognizable We're sunken submarines Trying to escape before we're seen You're gonna miss us when we're gone I'm the judge and jury I'm the lion and the lamb This is the beginning of the end We're breaking you down We're breaking you down |

Here we are inside a novel
Waiting for an end We don't know the authors of the book Maybe someone's writing chapters For us while we sleep From a million miles away Stuck without a captain or a chart No one seems to know just who to follow anymore Hang on Hang on There's a twilight A nighttime and a dawn Who knows How long So hang on Hang on If we fell inside a forest Would it make a sound It doesn't seem there's anyone around Days are long we carry on But still don't understand We're a million miles away Stuck without a captain or a chart No one seems to know just who to follow anymore Hang on Hang on There's a twilight A nighttime and a dawn Who knows How long So hang on Hang on Hang on Hang on When all is shattered When all your hope is gone Who knows How long There is a twilight A nighttime and a dawn We break We bend With hand in hand When hope is gone Just hang on Hang on |
