WHAT'S GOING ON

What's going on,
Can you correct my vision?
Helping my decision.
What's going on,
If you know what I'm meaning,
You won't find me kneeling.

Should I be standing on a chair?
My hands are waving in the air,
You know as well as I do now,
I'm going to get to you somehow.

What's going on,
Everyone acts crazy,
Yes or no means maybe.
What's going on,
Could you correct my vision?
Helping my decision.

RAILWAY AND GUN

Keep your railway to the sun,
Just leave any time you choose,
Tell me what you hope to find,
I'll tell you what you've got to lose.
Throw away the map,
That way, you can't find your way back,
So before you leave,
You better find out where it's at.
What's inside your heart?
Tell me what's inside your mind,

I wonder if I look,
I wonder what I'll find.
I've gotta tell you,
How come you can't see?
Everybody's saying,
She'll come right on back to me.
Keep your railway and your gun,
Just leave any time you choose,
Tell me what you hope to find,
I'll tell you what you've got to lose.

IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE, IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN

I felt this wave might knock me to the ground,
But I don't think that I could take one more round,
A look from you would send me to the floor.
It's happened before, it'll happen again,
It's happened before, it happened again.

You only call to see me when I'm out,
A guilty conscience nags you I have no doubt,
You've got the postman not to call anymore,
It's happened before, it'll happen again,
It's happened before, it happened again.

Another blast would send me to outer space,
I'm on the floor am I out of place?
And as I ask myself have I heard this before?
It's happened before, it'll happen again,
It's happened before, it happened again.

IF THE DAY WAS ANY LONGER

If the day was any longer,
Could I change your mind,
If your love was any stronger,
You'd stay behind.
Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time,
Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time.

If the day was any brighter,
You'd have seen the signs,
If your love begins to wander,
Should I count the times?

Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time,
Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time.

If the day was any day,
You would forget my name,
But the things that I am saying,
They'd still mean the same.

Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time,
Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time.

MORNING SUN Looks like the morning sun,
That's come to play outside my window.
Another night has gone,
If something's changed then it does not show.
She shines so brightly,
It'll make your two eyes blink.
But you know she can't be found,
But when the sun begins to sink.

She looks like the morning sun,
But you must remember.
She's as cold as December,
I can't remember what I've done.

She looks like the morning sun,
But you must remember.
She's as cold as December,
I can't remember what I've done.

Looks like the morning sun,
That's come to play outside my window,
And so the night has gone,
If something's changed then it does not show.

EAT MY WORDS

I'll eat my words,
I swear I will,
If I am wrong,
I'll pay the bill.
No cards for me,
I'll look what's dealt,
There's one here up my sleeve.

Well, if I'm wrong,
I'll never win,
But I've been round,
One time for sin.

Will I miss you?
I bet I will,
I might even lose some sleep.

I'll eat my words,
I swear I will,
If I am wrong,
I'll pay the bill.

No cards for me,
I'll look what's dealt,
One here up my sleeve.

I'll eat my words,
If I am wrong,
You can count,
When I sing my song.

You don't hate me,
You hate my tongue,
You won't even read my will,
Won't even read my will,
Won't even read my will.

Eat my words,
Eat my words,
Eat my words,
Eat my words.

ON THE BOARDS

Someone has taken my day,
Turned it to night,
Who turned out the light?
But hatch from the things,
I don't know what it means,
But it was too much to bear.
If I had taken my time,
Counted my steps,
I might have no regrets,
You might still be here yet,
And not in my dreams,
It's too late to care.

Somehow the world is a gone,
Please give me the keys,
And open the door,
Where is the floor?
I don't know what it means,
It's too much to bear.
It's too much to bear.

IF I DON'T SING I'LL CRY

You broke my heart,
But you opened up my eyes,
Yes I've been a fool,
Now I realize.
If I can't walk I'll fly,
If I can't sing I'll cry.

I hit the ground,
Made me feel a whole lot better,
Ain't no sense for her to go,
Well, how can I just let her?

Now if I can't walk I'll fly,
If I can't sing I'll cry.

You broke my heart,
Put tears into my eyes,
You must go your way,
I know how fast I've crashed.

Well if I can't walk I'll fly,
If I can't sing I'll cry.

If I can't walk I'll fly,
Well if I can't sing I'll cry,
If I can't sing I'll die.

SEE HERE

See here,
I believe in my dream,
See here,
Do you know what I mean?
Be here,
Let me tell you what I've seen,
Be here,
And you could be in my dream.

Go near,
But as near as far away,
Have no fear,
Just listen when I say.


That it's clear,
That in time you'll come my way,
How near?
In a year or just a day.

I'LL REMEMBER

If you'll be around,
When I not around,
And the whole world looks upside down,
I'll remember.
If you'll be around,
When there is no sound,
I won't let you down,
I'll give you so much love,
That you'll remember.

Ohhh...stand with me,
When the sky looks black and amber,
Look up above,
The gods so full of anger.

Let me here you say,
That your love won't fail,
That I know my luck,
Will never fail forever.

If you'll be around,
When I not around,
And the whole world looks upside down,
I'll remember.
