Lyrics
1. Lifeline
(5:36)
Often I ask myself
How something that I've never done can feel so familiar
It's just like the last time!
Some call it déjà vu
But I prefer to think of it as
More than illusion
Just like the last time, for the first time
You need a life line
We're talkin' about your life line
So if I've been here before
You're telling me that what's in store
Has all been decided, for the last time
And if what they say is true
Then everything I've learned 'till now
Has been so misguided
Like the first time, the last time
When all is said and done
We all become exactly
What we're meant to be
Just look at you and me
When all is said and done
Stare at the sun and
Tell me what you really see
You'll know what I mean
You need a life line
We're talkin' about your life line
When all is said and done
We all become exactly
What we're meant to be
Just look at you and me
When all is said and done
Stare at the sun and
Tell me what you really see
You'll know what I mean
You need a life line
We're talkin' about your life line
You need a life line
We're talkin' about your life line
2. Book Of Lies
(5:44)
Somebody try the side door
You know it's gettin' kinda late
I'll just assume there's a reason there's
Nothin' on my plate
It sounds a lot like show time
But why am I up at six
No one told we'd be
Playin' at Fort Dix
Round & round it never stops
Each day a new surprise
You'll find it all inside
Your brand new book of lies
Round & round where we stop
Your guess as good as mine
It's one big compromise
Your brand new book of lies
Will that be yen or lira?
Is that in local time
& if someone cancelled
What's everybody doing in line
S'Pretty hard to get a signal
A way out here in the sticks
Got a feelin' that the local's
Bin up to his old tricks
Round & round it never stops
Each day a new surprise
You'll find it all inside
Your brand new book of lies
Round & round where we stop
Your guess as good as mine
It's one big compromise
Your brand new book of lies
I think I know it's monday
But this is not Milan
I went to sleep in Brussels
& woke up in Japan
Somebody try the side door
You know it's gettin' kinda late
I'll just assume there's a reason there's
Nothin' on my plate
Round & round it never stops
Each day a new surprise
You'll find it all inside
Your brand new book of lies
Round & round where we stop
Your guess as good as mine
It's one big compromise
Your brand new book of lies
3. Sideways
(4:53)
Information's fed
& liberties are taken
Words will be misread
& sometimes truth forsaken
I'll keep looking at it sideways
With a grain of salt on
Black and white days
That way I'll know
That I will grow
I'll keep looking at it sideways
As I climb inside the
Black and white cage
It's outrage, I know
But I will grow
There behind closed doors
And bright white picket fences
Reason takes the floor
And stimulate the sences
I'll keep looking at it sideways
With a grain of salt on
Black and white days
That way I'll know
That I will grow
I'll keep looking at it sideways
As I climb inside the
Black and white cage
It's outrage, I know
But I will grow
Information's fed
& liberties are taken
I'll keep looking at it sideways
With a grain of salt on
Black and white days
That way I'll know
That I will grow
I'll keep looking at it sideways
As I climb inside the
Black and white cage
It's outrage, I know
But I will grow

6. More Than I Deserve
(5:22)
1st. VERSE

REPEAT CHORUS
8. 10.000 Days
(4:31)
So many faces
Now that we've seen 10.000 days
And so many places
As I try to remember all of their names
But one thing's for certain
I'd do it all again with no regrets
'Cos it's really been something
And there's more where that came from
On that you can bet
Ten thousand days
We've been around the world
From East Lynn to L.A.
Ten thousand days
Who knows what's left to find
We'll come another day
We've seen the horizons
And they're always familiar but never the same
As the sizable traces
Of each moment remembered but can't re-create
Never just "art for art's sake"
It was always about how to feed all the flames
It's not so many many places
If I try I'll remember all of their names
Ten thousand days
We've been around the world
From East Lynn to L.A.
Ten thousand days
And then from time to time
Got lost along the way
Ten thousand days
Ten thousand days
We've been around the world
From East Lynn to L.A.
Ten thousand days
Who knows what's left to find
We'll come another day
Ten thousand days
We've been around the world
From East Lynn to L.A.
Ten thousand days
And then from time to time
Got lost along the way
Ten thousand days
9. It Never Ends
(6:10)
1st. VERSE
There you go, you‛re off again ‟¢ I‛ll see you then, I hope it won‛t take long ‟¢ I might have known, you can‛t pretend, ‟¢ A story ends, a new one comes along
BRIDGE
One door closes ‟¢ One more opens ‟¢ You won‛t know where or when ‟¢ One door closes ‟¢ One more opens ‟¢ Time to start again
CHORUS
Looks to me like you could use a friend ‟¢ ‟˜Cos everything must change, it never ends ‟¢ & When it does you won‛t know where or when
But everything will change, it never ends
2nd. VERSE
A change of heart, a change of pace ‟¢ You can‛t hold back, the feeling‛s far too strong ‟¢ The time has come to re-invent
The chance to make a change has come along
REPEAT BRIDGE
REPEAT CHORUS
