ALL 02:28
When your life has gone astray You feel like you’re done A lost and lonely desert isle You’re not the only one at All All As you’re feeling old and gray What will you say to your kids? Will you tell them everything? And let em know you did it All All You want to show it You’re gonna blow it all You think you know it You think you know it all When you’re down and really low The world’s on your head You think no one’s there for you No matter what they’ve said at All All

Happenstance 03:11
A fat jack old woman, pushing a shopping cart Asked me for some money, and I broke her heart She said, ‘whoa, give me another chance’ My son, now, he’s in prison, my husband, well, he died What you see is all I have, and I’d like to have my pride But she said, ‘no, there’s no second chance’ Oh...whoa...happenstance So on I kept a walkin’ without a second thought Angry and bothered for putting me on the spot And I said, ‘no, there’s no second chance’ I went around the corner, and I could not understand What it’s like to suffer and be eating from a can And I said, ‘lord, give her a chance’ Oh...whoa...happenstance I walked through the church door, said look at what I did I yelled out to the father, ‘I have so much to give’ And I said, ‘lord, give me another chance’ I went back to the woman, saw her cryin’ there I hugged her and I held her, said Angel yeah I care! And I said, ‘lord, give her another chance!’ Oh...whoa...happenstance

It's a cloudy Day I was Walkin' Away From the life I've known Be a new man Do it all again take a new road One more time, Leave it all Behind Can't let it show Never Easy When It's Seized me Freezin My Soul Time & Distance Takes Away the Pain that I've always Known Time & Distance Takes Away the Pain that I've always Known Been There Before and I once More Damn Road again Don't wanna Go I don't know Why it won't End Conscience Grows I gotta know, When will it end Crazy Tom's atickin Bomb Doin 'it all again Chorus Solo Chorus Chorus
4.
Pocket full of money and you’re with your friends now Blowing off steam and you’re getting high Have a few laughs, that is all you want while The no neck jocks are looking for a fight Well I just want this to end So it’s once, twice, three times and you feel alright now Take another shot cuz you feel okay Wake up and you’re dizzy and you’re feeling sick now Hello it’s reality that’s here today Well I just want this to end Room spins, your head hurts, you find religion On your knees praying to the porcelain God Money’s gone, your eye’s black, you don’t remember Never knew that having fun could be so hard Well I just want this to end Well I just want this to end To end To end To end To end
5.
Hey child some things you will see Corn headed circus act on tv Linen hippos stealing welcome mats One eyed priests with the greasy hands Spider diaries for all to see Green horn magnets, liquid salt to breathe Leather puppies chewing cigarettes Open your, that ain’t nothin’ yet No one told me There’d be days like this No One told Me There'd be Days Like This Well a backwoods looney with the first class mail Stone orange chicken sent directly to hell Yes man, teeth marks, the panties too tight Camelot sees the bark is worse than the bite Castrated Nike’s to the promised land Oversleeping worm in the desert sand Four eyed dough geek, won’t let you forget He rules the world, hea ain’t finished yet! Chorus Solo Chorus Chorus

Why 03:46
Why is blue such a lonely color Why can’t the smiles break through? When the storms break away it’s the blue sky That makes the world seem new Some are puzzled by the query of eternity For this impatience they won’t remain calm Impossible questions draw hopeless answers For this it;s the nuclear bomb I wish they’d look around and see what I see The world is best with simplicity What you cannot answer, just let it be And be the best that you can be for you, and me It’s plain to see Growing up is so hard to see Everyon’e’s eyes are staring at me I know it’s time to split away And live my life day by day I try to go and leave my friends I try so hard it’ll never end They make me feel I have something to prove They just don’t realize I have feelings too Why can’t life be simple? Why can’t friends be true? Why can’t they be real? Like the oceans blue I wish they’d look around and see what I see The world is best with simplicity What you cannot answer, just let it be And be the best that you can be for you, and me It’s plain to see
7.
Hello girl, Welcome home Who’s your daddy? Well now you know Here I am And here you are The world’s a stage And you’re the star, now Ooh da, ooh ma my, Ooh da, ooh ma my oh Sunny days and butterflies That’s what you are My angel eyes Sugar sweet My happiness You melt my heart With every kiss Chorus
8.
Don’t mind me, there’s something in my eye I can’t say what I’m trying to hide Written all over me, but still denied Don’t mind me there’s something in my eye Went to the grocery, to get some kleenex and a map Looked at the greeting cards Must say I left there rather damp Don’t mind me, there’s something in my eye I can’t say what I’m trying to hide Written all over me, but still denied Don’t mind me there’s something in my eye Stopped at ther laundry, to see if he could get them dry He stared and pointed at the door Five different tongues he yelled goodbye Chorus Can’t watch a drama, or a telephone ad Cant’ read the paper, can’t risk feeling sad Can’t think about it, or get it outta my mind Can’t let them see me with, ah, something in my eye Chorus
9.
Wastin' Time 05:01
It’s been said I change by the day I never wanted to be this way But I don’t know what I’m supposed to do I say one thing when I mean something else I’m sick of soul searching, sick of myself Just like a frog in a blender, I am confused But don’t worry about me none I’ll be just fine We’re just having fun Just wastin’ time People label me a schizo case I’m better than leftovers on broken plates I’m all locked up they threw away the key But I guess I’m lucky so I should smile To have lived this long and healthy all the while Life’s a prism but the colors you can’t always see, oh no Chorus
10.
I’m in a world of strange Where nothing stays the same People laugh at people dyin’ Little babies starved and cryin’ Trapped in a world of strange We value all material Bury all that’s spiritual Priorities are deranged So many insensitive Angry sad and defensive And so much more I’m too scared to say I’m in a world of strange Where nothing seems the same We idolize celebrity Neglect our own heredity Priorities need rearrange People like to settle scores To get themselves a little more Avarice is raping us today What’s it all worth anyway? Is it worth the price we pay? Worth giving your soul away? 1st chorus + 1st verse
