Take A Chance


I took my old clothes off the line, but I didn't put them on, that's just fine. No more heartbreak, no past regret, but I haven't said all that I've wanted yet. Look into the mirror, see your pretty face, Take A Chance. Is it getting clearer? Did you believe the things they said? Were you a body or were you just a head? Did you surrender to yourself? Did you keep your treasure hidden on the shelf? Look into the mirror, see your pretty face, Take A Chance. Was there something always in the way? Listen to me everything will be okay. Believe it, it's true. Look into the mirror, see your pretty face, Take A Chance. Is it getting clearer?

If I Could

I could dream all the dreams that you lived when there were no dreams left. I can't take it. If you stodod on a hill and left all your tears to forget. I can't fake it. I didn't know, I know now. I'm so glad, that you showed me the door to my life and never came in. If we lived like this 'till we met, then please let me out. I'll be waiting. I didn't know, I know now. I'm so glad that you showed me how. Won't you take me to your world? I have been there too. I didn't see you. Nothing changes but the light. It's beautiful in black and white. So glad you showed me the room I lived in when I was born. What a baby. We could hide all the things that we bought and kept paying for. Yes, well maybe. I didn't know, I know now. I'm so glad, that you showed me how.


White Telescope

Lost in the galaxy. I'm traveling endlessly. Crosed a rope, now I see, through a White Telescope. We can go anywhere, traveling without a care. You and me, will always be a part of the song you wrote. We are stars on a turning stage, lights in a darkened age, a dream that you had the eyes to see. I'm climbing a falling tree, but something there catches me. I don't know, where I'll go, but I know I'll get there. The light isn't far away. The night only hides the day. Thought sleep, I'll always keep ahold of my greatest hope; that all of the love you have, you can free it from your mind, and all of the dreams you had reawaken and start to shine. All the life that you have to live, love that you have to give, a dream that you have the eyes to see. We are stars on a turning stage, lights in a darkened age, a dream that you have the eyes to see.


I Sing Silence

I don't want to have to play on the baseball team today. I don't want to have to live on right field, it's never right. I'm going where my daddy did before he was a kid. Sing Silence. Did you ever take the time when you're standing in a long, long line? Did you count the people? Ever wonder where it ends? I'm going where the letters went that were never sent. This is for the pets; the people caught in the nets. This is for the words escaping me. I Sing Silence. I don't want to have to play. I don't want to have to live this way. Moving crates & barrels inside a circus tent. I"m going where my doggies did when their time was spent. This is for the pets; the people caught in the nets. This is for the days escaping me. I Sing Silence. I sing it all the time. It's playing on my mind. You see it's haunting me. I Sing Silence.

Look Up, Look Down

Standing on the edge trying hard not to fall off, now you've done it. It's just another day in paradise. So glad that you took the time and stayed inside. Trying to make a quarter rubbing two male dimes together. Come on down, the price is right. So glad that you took the time and stayed inside. Standing on the edge trying hard not to fall off. No, no, no. Standing on the edge. Look Up, now Look Down. Go ahead, do the best with something that is less than nothing. Out of sight is out of mind. So glad you took the time and stayed inside. Standing on the edge trying hard not to fall off. No, no, no. Standing on the edge. Look Up, now Look Down. Don't you ever look at me. Look Up, now Look Down. Standing on the edge trying hard not to fall off. Standing on the edge trying hard not to fall off. Look Up, now Look Down. Don't you ever look at me. Look Up, now Look Down. Standing on the edge trying hard not to fall off. Standing on the edge trying hard not to fall off. Standing on the edge trying hard not to fall off. No, no, no. Standing on the edge.

We Made It

Who in the world, ever heard of the word, what it said, how it's read, how it bled, underfed. We Made It. Who ever knew at the end? We're going to make it. Who ever lived, ever loved ever tried, ever bought, ever sold, ever stole, ever died? We Made It? Whoever knew at the end? We're going to make it. Now. We're going to make it. Now. I've always known, it's been a part of me. But then it's not too hard to tell. Something was there it almost died you see, just like a baby sitting in a well. Who ever lived, ever loved, ever gave, ever kept, ever found, ever lost ever saved, ever meant, ever sent, ever kept, ever dreampt, ever died? We Made It. Who ever said at the end? We're going to make it.


So Much Music

I'm so happy that you're finally free. You jumped the fence, but you didn't take me. I'm in this jungle here all by myself. I've got this song and not much else. Finite voyage on an endless sea. you couldn't stay and I couldn't leave. If I had to do it all again, I'd love you twice as much as I did then. So Much Music. Could it all ever save me? Since I was a baby, it almost drove me crazy. All the people, living in the building, trying to find the feeling. Just wondering what I'm hearing. Life is strange, life is rough. Sometimes I think that I've had enough. Let it rain, just let it pour. I'll play, I'll sing, I'll sing, I'll write the score. You can take and you can take from me. I can take it because inside I'm free. If i have to do it by myself, I'll move a mountain, I don't need your help. So Much Music. Could it all ever save me? Since I was a baby, it almost drove me crazy. All the people, living in the building, trying to find the feeling. Just wondering what I"m hearing. No I'm never going to give, never going to give up. That's the last thing that I've been thinking of. No I'm not going to give, not going to give up. That's the last thing that I've been thinking of. In this life there's really so much left. I remember, how could I forget? That you're always here inside of me. I didn't fall far from the tree. There's So Much Music.


Getaway

All my life, I've been living my life living someone else's dream. And all the time, I've been living my life on someone else's time. Let me out of the past. Let me out of there fast. Is it right? To waste the day on a horror show that runs deep into the night. You know, I've tried to think whatever they think and follow that one-way sign. Let me out, I've been in. Let the spinning wheel spin. When I was young, I thought I had to take it. In a spell but now I'm going to break it. Words, walls and doors aren't going to hold me. I'm taking out the trash that they sold me. Let me out, I've been in. Let the spinning wheel spin. Am I ever going to get away, get away from the games they play? Not today. Am I ever going to get away, get away from the games they play? Not today. Is it right? To be living my life living someone else's dream. All the time, I've been living my life on someone else's time. Let me out of the past. Let me be free at last. Am I ever going to get away, get away from the games they play? Not today.


The Goose Is Out

I could have stopped you drowning, there in the madness in daylight, when it said, "you're good as dead." We could have been together if I'd only known how to charm a snake. The river flowed away. Come to me. Come into my arms. Grew up in a bottle, but I couldn't break it to let me out. Guess that's what it's about. Come to me. Come to me. Come into my arms. The world keeps turning, do I have to look? It's every day. Let's watch the stars in my auditorium. And not have to think about it, let's just live in the light. Don't you know? I'm from Chicago. Come to me. Come to me. Come into my arms. Come to me. Come to me. Come into my arms.


O' Street

Well, I've been seeing you right through the corner of my eye. And it's not so mysterious, it doesn't surprise me, that you'd come to this town looking for something different to find. We'll, that something else is looking for you. All the roads that you've walked in the past, led you here, but it isn't clear: did you find it at last? Could it be so wrong? Just keep moving on, sont stop and ask. They've got something waiting for you. Please, please, before you turn your ear. I've been living the dream that you'd set out to live and I ended up here. It's not everything you want it to be. Don't go down to O Street, it's the wrong place to spend your time. The people down there they just don't care if you're living or dying, they've only got one thing in mind. Don't go down to O Street.
