There's a breakdown on the runway
And the timeless flights are gone I'm a year ahead of myself these days And I'm locomotive strong My city spread like cannon fire In a yellow nervous state I can't cut the ties that bind me To horoscopes and fate And I won't break and I won't bend But someday soon we'll sail away To innocence and the bitter end And I won't break and I won't bend And with the last breath we ever take We're gonna get back to the simple life again When we break out of this blindfold I'm gonna take you from this place Until we're free from this ball and chain I'm still hard behind the eight My city beats like hammered steel On a shallow cruel rock If we could walk proud after midnight We'd never have to stop |

I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand A spirit born of earth and water Fire flying from you hands In the instand that you love someone In the second that the hammer hits Reality runs up your spine And the pieces finally fit And all I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the sun You're all I've ever needed Baby you're the one There are caravans we follow Drunken nights in dark hotels When chance breathe between the silence Where sex and love no longer gel For each man in his time is Cain Until he walks along the beach And sees his future in the water A long lost heart within his reach |

No ceiling on hard living
Peace keepers keep on breathing Can't deny eye for eye It's open season Dictate to my reason She devils ruling Britain Hey girl stick it in your purse Call it treason Band aids on dead doorways No heroes in the Bat Cave Don't give me Tears For Fears Give me tears of rage Fires burn with black smoke Oil slicks put us on the ropes Man it's hard to handle When the bank's broke Don't kow-tow, don't bow down Loosen up, get the lead out Backs up let them shout Backs up sweat it out When your back's up, sweat it out Backs up, sweat it out Hope froze in the cold weather No ice on a greasy river Liberty and John Doe Stand and Shiver War waits when the lines form The baby sitter in a uniform Knocking down your door For your rice and corn |

There's a hungry road I can only hope's
Gonna eat me up inside There's a drifting spirit coming clean In the eye of a lifelong fire Tell Monday I'll be around next week I'm running ahead of my days In the shotgun chance that scattered us I've seen the error of my ways Well we've wrapped ourselves in golden crowns Like sun gods spitting rain Found a way home written on this map Like red dye in my veins In the hardest times that come around The fear of losing grows I've lost and seen the world shut down It's a darkness no one knows And I've poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain Standing in a station waiting in the rain I'm starting to feel a little muscle again But love is lost like a runaway train Oh I'm out of control and out of my hands I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land Trying to get a grip on my life again Nothing hits harder than a runaway train |

Have you seen the North
That cold grey place Don't want its shadow anymore On my face A man grows bitter We're a bitter race Some of us never get to see A better place In the Northern Skies There was a steel cloud It used to follow me around But I don't see it now There's a farm in the rain And a little farmhouse There were a young man's eyes Looking south The North was my mother But I no longer need her You trade your roots and your dust For a face in the river And a driven rain that washes you To a different shore There's a North in us all But my North can't hold me anymore |

She may be lost
She may be out of bounds All her tenderness and charms could be something A man like me has never found But in her woman's way She's still a little girl The things that she wants, the things that she needs Oh well the choice is hers 'Cause you can't take a woman When she doesn't want you And you can't be a man If you're blind to reason Man might be strong But true love is stronger You gotta play it straight When a woman doesn't want you Her voice invites Her eyes say more than words But her needs and complications Can tear away the memory of last night's girl And if you're weak Yeah we're all weak sometime The best things can wait The best times they come Oh when strength is kind And if you can't read her Leave her alone And if you don't know by now She's not someone's prize And you can't take her home |

The church bells ring out morning glory
When summer bends to the winter's rage Emily walks through the cemetery Passed a dog in an unmarked grave The old girl hobbles, nylons sagging Talks to her sisters in the ground I saw a lie in the mirror this morning I heard a prophesy all around And Emily they come and go The shadows and the distant sounds But Emily don't be afraid When the weight of angels weighs you down Emily prays to a faded hero In a little frame clutched to her gown Hears the voice of promise in his memory Tonight's the night they let the ladder down In a cage sits a gold canary By a wicker chair and a rosewood loom As a soul ascends aboard the evening Canary sings to an empty room And Emily they come and go The shadows and the distant sounds But Emily don't be afraid When the weight of angels weighs you down |

I'm staring down a mile of disappearing track
Is this the best that we could do I'm leaning through the rain but you ain't looking back What did I ever have to prove 'Cause it feels like electricity hitting an open field When am I ever gonna to learn Married life's two people trying to grab the wheel Oh and we must have got lost Living on dark Street Looking for an exit Sleeping on the concrete You can't see it with your eyes You can't find it with your feet All I know is that we're lost baby And we're living on dark Street All the layoffs and the pay cuts cripple me inside I pay the price for living everyday Trying to keep us all together along with a little pride What'll it take to make you stay But I've dreamed about an island And all I got's a bucket of sand I'd give my eyes to give you all your dreams Now I get to see my family slipping through my hands |

Rolling over trying to sleep
And understanding women Thinking of you out there somewhere Looking for a new beginning Just let me be the final word In the book we haven't written I won't be another page In understanding women I could drive to Mexico On understanding women Throw myself against the waves And answer up to heaven How come her heart's so stubborn And what's so wrong with giving Ask the big sky talking About understanding women And I'm not just anyone who ever stood outside your door And I'm not any man you've ever known before Don't judge this picture by the frame Every man is not the same Some men reach beyond the pain Of understanding women |

Yesterday you came to lift me up
As light as straw and brittle as a bird Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall Just one more whisper of a voice unheard Tomorrow leave the windows open As fear grows please hold me in your arms Won't you help me if you can to shake this anger I need your gentle hands to keep me calm 'Cause I never thought I'd lose I only thought I'd win I never dreamed I'd feel This fire beneath my skin I can't believe you love me I never thought you'd come I guess I misjudged love Between a father and his son Things we never said come together The hidden truth no longer haunting me Tonight we touched on the things that were never spoken That kind of understanding sets me free |

Looking back in anger
On this dirty little town It stained your dress carved up my face Put a wedge between our state of grace Somethings so young and pretty Should never be released We place our bets we take our pick They wind up in the belly of the beast And when you can't get what you want You take anything you can So I wear this suit of wolves at night I slip it on how come it feels so right I get a hungry man When I can't get what I want I take anything I can I wear a suit of wolves Just across from Friday The weekend circus rolls I cross my heart turn on the charm I say my prayers between two hungry arms There's a string of dangerous flowers All around my bed There's some want rings and some just want And those who'd like to see me dead |

Fat boys cry when ugly girls sing
About the way the world would be if they were thin And ugly girls turn their heads when fat boys laugh About the handsome kid next door who broke their heart Who broke their heart Broke their heart And fat boys lie when ugly girls ask About the size an apple pie looks through a magnifying glass And ugly girls dream at night when fat boys sleep About the way the mirrors lie when beauty's only skin deep Beauty's only skin deep Skin deep But it's the fat boy's world for an ugly girl And ugly girls love that fat boy joy Who needs the worries of a perfect world Hear the early birds make that spring time come When a fat boy falls in love with an ugly girl When a fat boy falls in love with an ugly girl Fat boys dance when ugly girls shout That a waltz is not the dance for the boy who's stout And ugly girls dream at night when fat boys sleep About the way the mirrors lie when beauty's only skin deep Beauty's only skin deep Skin deep But it's the fat boy's world for an ugly girl And ugly girls love that fat boy joy Who needs the worries of a perfect world Hear the early birds make that spring time come When a fat boy falls in love with an ugly girl When a fat boy falls in love with an ugly girl But it's the fat boy's world for an ugly girl And ugly girls love that fat boy joy Who needs the worries of a perfect world Hear the early birds make that spring time come When a fat boy falls in love with an ugly girl When a fat boy falls in love with an ugly girl Fat boys and ugly girls I'm talking about fat boys and ugly girls Fat, fat, fat boys and ugly girls I'm talking about fat boys, fat boys and ugly girls |
