The Lights R'out
‘The Lights R’out’ Lyrics
i just walked my baby home through an argument to the steps before our door she knows i won’t sleep no i’ll streetskate and burn my attitude off amidst my slams and shit man! that was a close call corner shop quick stop car park quarterpipe ollie slap grab to reverse then i grind these sleeping curbs and i circle these bottles that the boys sunk in six packs laying them down if you loop one you’re a clown if you knock one down you’re a clown i’m skating out under these lights are out over caldor caldor tonight the lights are out over caldor caldor tonight never had the illusion i was the most important person never wanted just one place but now i wear a local’s face and the only time i really feel free is when i hit night speed and i’m riding the pavement of this town to the hoots of owls the lights are out over caldor caldor tonight the lights are out over caldor caldor tonight oh i’m fallen down but i’m a literate i’m a bum for all these rackets i’m so sold out on their scams all these master plans and daylight’s bringing all these shackles all the hydes and the jeckles i’m so spun out by their lines but these freaks are holding no ties no not when the lights are out over caldor caldor tonight the lights are out over caldor caldor tonight the lights are out tonight the lights are out tonight
Slide
‘Slide’ Lyrics
a season turns my eyes horizons divide these things can change my mind and pull me back from behind but if i could i’d slide on by if i could i’d just slide on by [start spoken] i could just fall off this cliff no one would ever find my body washed away but behind me questions lurking pulling me back to this living side [end spoken] and the quiet dusk before night white foam it breaks and it dies this stone won’t wash away and these memories these memories stay but if i could i’d slide on by if i could i’d just slide on by if another person came stood in this light rain well there’d be two below the sky high i’m saying this and i’m questioning why? ‘cause if i if i could i’d slide on by if i could i’d not question why? i’d not question why? i’d not question why? no i’d just slide on by
Somewhere In Japan
‘Somewhere In Japan’ Lyrics
with headlights on their shoes they glide past my door these people in the night they’re moving so fast on their laser feet i’m in a phone booth i’m hanging on the line i’m dialing your number but i’m missing you every time this floor is made for sleeping when you’re curled up like a babe this light illuminates for writing i catch my words before they fade all four worlds can see you’re crying these four walls grandstand my tears i’m center stage in a master play it’s a fishtank soul sale i’m crying out for love love love love love your love i’m crying out for your love your love these girls on parade they shelter me two nights in a row the others i walk in out of ‘cause there’s a slip lock and i’m the one in the know give me an attendant we need to clean these walls and floor of ink stain skin burn and the refuse of a deep deep yearn i’m crying out for love love love love love your love i’m crying out for love love love love love your love oh your love your love love your love love your love love love your love i’m crying out for you i’m lost somewhere here in Japan crying out for your love

Not Your Lot
‘Not Your Lot’ Lyrics
you say that they don’t respect your point of view that the voice behind your face has them scared and whenever you make intelligent comment it has to come from someone else to be heard seen but not heard and the whole shebang makes you feel like you should apologise for the way you look whether you look ok or you just look like shit i say forget that just use it it’s what you got from your folks you had no control it was just genetics genetics and it is not your lot not your lot not your lot no it’s not your lot don’t let them treat you like a piece of meat no no you’re telling me you realised this environment is sucking away your sense of self worth you’re right i can see that facade of confidence is a cover for a growing sense of mirth nothing like a bit of self mirth wisely you decide now to break away hey you’ve done other things but be careful now you’ve been pigeon-holed yeah well they’d all rather you act so pretty it’s too bad if you’re bored they think you should be seen seen but not heard seen but not heard and that is not your lot it’s not your lot it’s not your lot no it’s not your lot don’t let them treat you like a piece of meat no no you’re all dressed up for their public don’t let them treat you like a piece of meat no no it’s not your lot not your lot not your lot
Bourbon
‘Bourbon’ Lyrics
you took a swig of my bourbon and then you gave me that sideways smile looking over that bottle i think we caught an idea in kind you said we’ve been here before wasting all our time this evening our luck has changed you said i think it could be fine so fine you said come on lets take your bottle i’ll help you drink it help you drink it right down then we’ll exchange remnants of our pasts and all those towns so many towns where we used up our envy where we cast all our hate where we never found loving where we could not relate no you and i we are the same and when it all ends we will remain and when it all ends we’re different but we’re the same different but we’re the same i asked hey will this be a big love? as it would be real for the very first time you read my palm and smiled up at the stars explaining how this moment had been forecast you said it had been forecast you took my hand placed it to your breast whispered close your eyes come on learn to touch you wrapped me up then you spoke in my mind cried out i’ve waited i’m the sand you said i’m the sand i’m the sand and you are the tide you said i’m the sand and you are the tide you said i’m the sand and you are the tide

Bound & Suburban
‘Bound & Suburban’ Lyrics
hey hope you guys are well and happy adjusting to life in those new surrounds must be quiet it must be strange l.a. to pastures chickens and cows and how’s little josephine last i saw her night of her first birthday i guess she’s speaking now she’s gonna grow up wild and how how how crazy are you guys? just up and moving on with your pay cuts but i can understand how northern california holds more attraction than hollywood smog and such ‘cause i’m feeling bound and suburban i’m feeling bound and suburban i’m kind of all tied up i’m kind of all penned in like anywhere this city of sails ain’t always a breeze to live in i’m planning to get back i’ll be stateside soon maybe i could visit on my way back to new york spend a few days with you i read in the paper today this country’s lost it’s identity well i don’t know if i ever felt a part of that but i do carry something inside me i’m kind of all tied up i’m kind of all penned in there’s beauty here and people i love but i’m traveller in this heart i know so i’m planning to get back i’ll be stateside soon maybe anyone that goes off to roam runs the risk of knowing more than one home ‘cause i’m feeling bound and suburban i’m feeling bound and suburban [but not really]
Achilles

you find my heel you tempt me you help me stand so wild and free you thrust that light onto my face fire up my mind send me into space oh ow oh oh oh ow achilles like fur coats rubbed on my naked skin but without killing any of them like falling down these waterfalls i’m terrified but consumed by the power of it all oh ow oh oh oh ow achilles achilles i’m the moth to your fire oh how you swirl me in circles then you try to kill me in desire if i was not wise you’d get complete control but i have other heels and they push and they pull oh ow oh oh oh ow achilles achilles i’m the moth to your fire
Where's The Way?
‘Where’s The Way?’ Lyrics
closing my eyes afraid of the dark scared of the noise of my still living beating heart if i keep my eyes shut will i stay safe? or will these questions keep pointing out it’s all to late? show me the way come on show me the way needing to cry out i turn on the light it’s my safety net to chase away the night i ask how can this be such a part of me? my fear is not the dark but my inability to see can you show me the way? come on show me the way so i’ve these two bags which i unpack then i fill constantly moving i barely ever stand still this desire to find the way of my changing path and the fear i won’t keeps me moving so fast i’m moving so fast now walking close to my temporary home i never felt so lost or alone but here away from prying eyes i know that i’ve grown and these people i meet don’t pretend that they know me no like you they somehow unknowingly show me they show me the way they show me the way show me the way i think you’ve shown me the way so i’ve these two bags which i unpack then i fill constantly moving i barely ever stand still this desire to find the way of my changing path and the fear i won’t keeps me moving so fast i’m moving so fast now moving so fast i’m moving so fast now i’m moving so fast now i’m moving so fast now
