Lyrics

1. Six Feet Under

(4:58)

Although you're far from home
And you've wandered quite a ways
If you remove alle shred of doubt
Only the truth remains
If I read between the lines
The expression on your face
Just remove all shred of doubt
Only truth remains

Six feet under, put your cash away
You never know when you might need it
Eight feet under, can you feel the weight?
It's just another rainy day
Ten feet under, what a prize toupee
But not while you're still breathin'
Twelve feet under, but it's never too late
You got the will now where's the way?

Help me help you
Start that spark that keeps the fire alive
Help me help you catch your breath
Help me help you
Remember just how much you love
The way you drive
Ans help me help you help yourself

I'm not wrong
Somethin' tells me it's not gone
Somethin' tells me I'm not wrong
It's not gone
Somethin' tells me I'm not wrong

So caught between the lines
Devoid of time and space
I knew the fire was never out
And I know it still rages
So if you stray too far from home
And wander quite a ways
Though the fire is all but out
One small spark and all that changes

Help me help you
Start that spark that keeps the fire alive
Help me help you catch your breath
Help me help you
Remember just how much you love
The way you drive
And help me help you help yourself

Six feet under, what a prize toupee
But now while you're still breathin'
Six feet under, but it's never too late
You got the will now where's the way?

I'm not wrong
Somethin' tells me I'm not wrong
It's not gone

 

2. Anywhere You Wanna Go

(5:34)

I wanna thank you, down on your knees
That's quite a tattoo
I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna tag you, bon appetite
I wanna thank you

I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna do you, that's what you need
If you would like to
I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna take you...

Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
You've got to let me know
Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
Just tell me where you wanna go

I see a flat top walking away
Was that your best shot?
I wanna thank you
Please excuse me thought you could stay
Is that a deep cut?
I'm gonna take you...

Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
You've got to let me know
Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
We'll get there heaven knows
Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
You may just find you've found a home

You may just find you've found a home

I want to thank you, down on your knees
It's quite a tattoo
I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna do you, that's what you need
If you would like to
I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna take you...

Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
You've got to let me know
Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
Just tell me where you wanna go

I'm gonna take you...
I'm gonna take you...

I'm gonna take you...
gonna take you...

Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
You've got to let me know
Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
Just tell me where you wanna go
Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
You've got to let me know
Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
And that is how the story goes

Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
We'll get there heaven knows
Anywhere you wanna go
You want it, you got it
You may just find you've found a home

 

3. Ellery

(4:09)

Ellery
Are you with us?
We could use
Someone a little like you
You will be
Just what we're missin'
You can't see
Farther than tomorrow

I'll give you whatever you want
To see where you're goin'
I'll give you whatever you want
The seed that I'm sowing

No matter where you are
Just listen with your heart
Forever and a day
It's not far away

Talk to me
I will listen
You can see
That I'm thinkin' 'bout you
I can read
What you're thinkin'
This is me
'n I won't ever harm you

I'll give you whatever you want
The secret you're holdin'
I'll give you whatever you want
To see where I'm going

No matter where you are
Just listen with your heart
Forever and a day
It's not that far away
Although we're world's apart
Were with me from the start
I know you know my name
It's time to start again

time to start again...
time to start again...

I'll give you whatever you want
To see where you're going
I'll give you whatever you want
The seed that is growing

No matter where you are
Just listen with your heart
Forever and a day
It's not that far away
Although we're world's apart
Were with me from the start
I know you know my name
It's time to start again
No matter where you are
Just listen with your heard
Forever and a day
It's not that far away

 

4. Spin It Again

(4:41)

Even a simple man with
Simple expectations
Can be made to understand
There's an easy way to
Rise above one's station
'n all it takes is one strong hand

Spin it again
Take a little from the middle
Let it ride on the inside and spin it again
One more time
Spin it again
You can win it if you're in it
Make a play for the outside and spin it again
Hold on tight

Somethin' tells me that for you
It's all or nothing
And in the past you've felt the sting
Well nothing ventured
Nothing gained's what I say
So throw your hat into the ring

Sometimes it's just the roll of the dice
That separates the real men from the boys
And sometimes you won't have to think twice
'Cos it's time to make some big big noise

Spin it again
Take a little from the middle
Met it ride on the inside and spin it again
One more time
Spin it again
You can winit if you're in it
Make a play for the youtside and spin it again
Hold on tight

They tell you that a shortcut
Is the longest way around
But I believe you gotta take a chance
If it's the only game in town

'Cos it's time to make some big big noise...

Spin it again
Taka a litte from the middle
Let it ride on the inside an spin it again
Ome more time
Spin it again
You can win it if you're in it
Make a play for the outside and spin it again
Hold on tight
Spin it again
Take a little from the middle
Let it ride on the inside and spin it again
One more time
Spin it again
You can win if you're in it
Make a play for the outside and spin it again

 

5. Another Day Out Of Sight

(4:19)

Now don't you wish that everything
Was just the way it seems
'Cos sometimes there's no difference
From my travels to my dreams
Silence goes unsatisfied
A journey to no end
We gather up the memories
There's more just 'round the bend

Another day out of sight
And then it's you and the night

A change is always good they say
I wonder why we wait
It doesn't matter anyway
You know I'm always late

It's nothing new fight or flight
But when you see me tonight
I'll let you know I'm alright
Another day out of sight
But if you turn down the light
Then it's you and the night

If I was made of armour plate
Oh wouldn't that be great
I don't know if that's a giveaway
But I'm knocking at the gate
And I love the days I'm MIA
Just watch me fade away
It doesn't matter anyway
You know I'm always late

It's nothing new fight or flight
But when you see me tonight
I'll let you know I'm alright
Another day out of sight
But if you turn down the light
Then it's you and the night

Another day out of sight
And then it's you and the night

Another day out of sight
But if you turn down the light
Then it's you and the night
It's nothing new fight or flight
But when you see me tonight
I'll let you know I'm alright
Another day out of sight
But if you turn down the light
Then it's you and the night

 

6. One Of These Days

(4:46)

One of these days
One of these days you're gonna
Shake those chains that bind you
But are you strong enough
'Cos it's been more than long enough
One of these days...
One of these days you're gonna
Put your pain behind you
And realize that life goes on
And there's no reason not to tag along

Get up, get out, get over it
What's done is done
State at the sun
Pick up where you left off
Step up, step out, step over it
You missed the boat
That's all she wrote
So I'd say that is that
Look up, look out, look over it
No time to lose
No more excuse
Or it might be your last
You're up, you're out, you're over it
I see a window
And I know you know it's closing fast
I know you know it's closing fast

One of these days...
One of these days they're gonna
Close in and surround you
And offer you a welcome back
It's nice to have you back on track
One of these days...
One of these days you're gonna
Break that code of silence
Get back to what you love so much
(You've) been too long too out of touch

Get up, get out out, get over it
What's done is done
Stare at the sun
Pick up where you left off
Step up, step out, step over it
You missed that boat
That's all she wrote
So I'd say that is that
Look up, look out, look over it
No time to lose
No more excuse
Or it might be your last
You're up, you're out, you're over it
I see a window
And I know
You know it's closing fast

According to my info
You've been spotted at the window
You've been dancing with the shadows
All night long
So are you coming to your senses?
And are you dropping your defenses?
Should we start the celebration
Here and now?

One of these days...
One of these days you're gonna
Dig down deep and tell yourself
That you've got no regrets
That's about as good as it can get
One of these days...
One of these days you're gonna
Wake up and surrender
And tell yourself enough's enough
Today's the day I strut my stuff

What's done is done
Stare at the sun
Pick up where you left off
You missed the boad
That's all she wrote
So I'd say that ist that
No time to lose
Mo more excuse
Or it might be your last
I see a window
And I know
You know it's closing fast

One of these days...

You're up, you're out, you're over it

 

7. Ball And Chain

(4:18)

So how are you
What do you do?
I couldn't help but notice that you've got one too
It's what we do
What's good for you?
I think I might have had another déjà vu
That silver spoon
In front of you
Invisible to others but so clear to you
We share a view
So I assume
That's why we're standing in this crowded room

We think it's more than a little strange...
That you found a name for that ball and chain
Why do you think that we don't complain?
'Cos we found a way to play through all that pain

Strap your shoes
And pay your dues
'Cos where we're goin' ain't no pleasure cruise
You'll need some tools
Forget the rules
Just run for cover when I light the fuse

We think it's more than a little strange...
That you found a name for that ball and chain
Why do you think that we don't complain?
'Cos we found a way to play through all that pain

You know we're all the same
And rules are just a part of the game
...But sometimes rules get broken

So win or lose
You can't refuse
'Cos maybe one day we'll be front page news
That's what we do
Was that good for you?
Perhaps some day we'll share another déjà vu

We think it's more than a little strange...
That you found a name for that ball and chain
Why do you think that we don't complain?
'Cos we foud a way to play through all that pain

You know we're all the same
And rules are just part of the game
...But sometimes rules get broken!

Why do you think that we don't complain?
'Cos we found a way to play through all that pain
We think it's more than a little strange...
That you found a name for that ball and chain
Why do you think that we don't complain?
'Cos we found a way to play through all that pain

You know we're all the same
And rules are just part of the game
...But sometimes rules get broken!

You know we're all the same
...But sometimes rules get broken!

 

8. Lost For Words

(4:37)

When the dust had settled near
And the sky had all but cleared
Enough to view my destination
Then I was shown the door
As it turns out it was more
Than just a casual conversation
Led me to this place and...

Somebody saved me
Expecting nothing in return
And somebody gave me
The reason I remain
Forever lost for words

The consequence of fear
Is the need for drawing near
Enough for quiet consolation
And it proves in times like these
There are those who still believe
Kindness requires no hesitation
When your heart has found it's place

Somebody saved me
Expecting nothing in return
And somebody gave me
The reason I remain
So lost for words

(repeat chorus)

 

9. Show And Tell

(4:43)

We're here right now
We're doing it again,
Like we've been doin' it forever
Don't let me down
How can this end
If you keep tellin' me whatever?
How do I sound
Let's just pretend
We've had a spate of nasty weather
Here's the countdown
Backwards from ten
It's time we finally came together

Here's to the day we all play
Show and tell
Here's to the day we all say
All is well...

We're here right now
It's never too late
To make the final first impression
How do I sound?
There's a light at the end
We're moving in the right direction

Here's to the day we all play
Show and tell
Here's to the day we all say
All is...

Don't let me down
Let's just pretend
We're eye to eye and there's no pressure
Here's the countdown
Backwards from ten
Let's not resort the drastic measures

Somewhere someone draws the line
And winds up working overtime
If you go your way'n I go mine
We've only wasted precious time
Somewhere someone takes the time
To listen to the other side
(Take) one step closer, close your eyes
And now you're crossing party lines

We're here right now
We've done it again
Like we've been doin' it forever
Don't let me down
So backwards from ten
Maybe this time we'll come together

Somewhere someone draws the line
And winds up working overtime
If you go your way'n I go mine
We've only wasted precious time
Somewhere someone takes the time
Listen to the other side
(Take) one step closer, close your eyes
And now you're crossing party lines

 

10. Till The Well Runs Dry

(6:20)

So here I go again
Another first and ten
Make my move and keep my
Eyes on the prize
You know I hesitate
To put my trust in fate
After all we've only
So many tries

I don't want it all
I just don't wanna crawl
Too great a distance
Till the fireworks begin
I've no need for a staff
Follow only the path
Of least resistance, then
Just sit back and breath it in

Such is my appetite
I can keep it up all night
Close my eyes imagine
Wolves at my door
'Cos when I'm in this deep
I don't feel the urge to sleep
Lying here just waiting
For something to explore

When cheap is the talk
I prefere just to walk
Although I'm driven
Turn the page, walk out the door
But prepared for a fall
I'm still grateful for all
That I've been given
Still I feel the need for more... I

Run to the well until the well runs dry
Or my thirst is finally satisfied
Shake that tree until the bough breaks free
Get myself a good look inside
Curl my fist at every twist of fate
It reminds me that I'm still alive
And I'll keep runnin' to the well
Until the well runs dry

And if I step aside
That means I'm satisfied
All is well but when it's
All been said & done
It's neither black nor white
'Cos even when I'm wrong I'm right
And no-one plays a game that's been
All but played and won

The art of the deal
Both excites and appeals
To all my senses
Feel it coursing through my veins
I don't feel sublime
I just don't wanna
Climb too many fences
That should well enough explain... I

Run to the well until the well runs dry
Or my thirst is finally satisfied
Shake that tree until the bough breaks free
Get myself a good look inside
Curl my fist at every twist of fate
It reminds me that I'm still alive
And I'll keep runnin' to the well
Until the well runs dry
(repeat chorus)

So here I go again...
