Good Life
03:23
|

Let's meet up on the edge of town
Climb in my car and drive west bound
Turn it up and play our favorite song
Just let it go and sing along
Let's make mistakes along the way
So we'll remember yesterday
We'll head right for the setting sun
Let's run away
Aww yeah, it's gonna be a good life
Aww yeah, you know we're feelin' alright
Tonight, Tonight
Cause tonight we're alive
Aww yeah, it's gonna be a good life
Aww yeah, you know we're feelin' alright
Tonight, Tonight
It's alright; it's our life
Let's stay out late and run around
We'll go too far and burn it down
Rise up mid-day and we'll move on
No one can tell us that we're wrong
We made mistakes along the way
So we'd remember every day
We'll head straight for the setting sun
Let's run away
Aww yeah, it's gonna be a good life
Aww yeah, you know we're feelin' alright
Tonight, Tonight
Cause tonight we're alive
Aww yeah, it's gonna be a good life
Aww yeah, you know we're feelin' alright
Tonight, Tonight
Cause tonight we're alive
Aww yeah, it's gonna be a good life
Aww yeah, you know we're feelin' alright
Tonight, Tonight
Cause tonight we're alive
Aww yeah, it's gonna be a good life
Aww yeah, you know we're feelin' alright
Tonight, Tonight
It's alright; it's our life

Atmosphere

Burning up in this atmosphere-
he just wants to get out of here,
and get home
to you.
Needs to feel your warm embrace-
it's cold and lonely in this space,
as he fades
from view.
Put some classic vinyl on-
the needle pops and now he's gone.
It's gonna be alright,
hes's gonna be okay-
'cause there you are.
Born to run, Ziggy,
to the dark side of the moon
when you're feeling kind of blue.
What's going on with you?
Moon dance, Ziggy.
Don't forget to check your head.
Once you fall you might not rise again.
What's going on with you?
Burning up in this atmosphere-
coming down without landing gear,
and he's lost
to you.
Never wanted it to be this way-
he's just trying to get through the day
'til he's home
with you.
Put some classic vinyl on-
the needle pops and now he's gone.
It's gonna be alright,
hes's gonna be okay-
'cause there you are.
Born to run, Ziggy,
to the dark side of the moon
when you're feeling kind of blue.
What's going on with you?
Moon dance, Ziggy.
Don't forget to check your head.
Once you fall you might not rise again.
What's going on with you?
Born to run, Ziggy,
to the dark side of the moon
when you're feeling kind of blue.
What's going on with you?
Moon dance, Ziggy.
Don't forget to check your head.
Once you fall you might not rise again.
What's going on with you?

Diamond Eyes
04:00
|
|
||
We fell in love so fast
thinking we could make it last.
We didn't have to try at all-
maybe that was our downfall.
We couldn't see the signs-
telling lies and blurring lines.
We were going up in flames
caught up in playing games.
Falling apart
in my heart,
in my mind,
through the fire,
through the lies,
and you've got diamond eyes-
cutting through.
Coming apart
at the seams,
so it seems,
through the years
of the lies,
and I see your eyes-
cutting through.
Falling apart
in my heart,
in my mind,
through the fire,
through the lies,
and you've got diamond eyes-
cutting through.
Coming apart
at the seams,
so it seems,
through the years
of the lies,
and I see your eyes-
cutting through.
You've watched me burn.
I've watched our love turn.
You've lost your faith in me.
I held on so carelessly.
You're withering away-
I've heard you say.
You're a beautiful rose
I never helped to grow.
Falling apart
in my heart,
in my mind,
through the fire,
through the lies,
and you've got diamond eyes-
cutting through.
Coming apart
at the seams,
so it seems,
through the years
of the lies,
and I see your eyes-
cutting through.
Falling apart
in my heart,
in my mind,
through the fire,
through the lies,
and you've got diamond eyes-
cutting through.
Coming apart
at the seams,
so it seems,
through the years
of the lies,
and I see your eyes-
cutting through.

That Story
02:47

|

What was that story
you were told when you were young?
They said you could be
anything you want to be.
Maybe that story
only shields you from the truth.
Life is cruel
and it won't always go your way.
What was that story?
What was that story?
What was that story from when you were young?
What was that story?
What was that story?
What was that story from when you were young?
Maybe they'll tell you
that you need to fit their mold.
You have to fall in line
or risk falling behind.
What was that story
you were told when you were young?
They said you could be
anything you want to be.
What if I told you
that when life's all said and done...
You just have to love
the story you wrote,
What was that story?
What was that story?
What was that story from when you were young?
What was that story?
What was that story?
What was that story from when you were young?

American Tragedy
02:56
|
|||
I was starting to believe
We could all be free.
Only to find us sliding back
An American tragedy.
All your ranting lunacy;
Your stooges on TV
Only seeking to distract
from the true reality.
Damn your lies,
Your soulless eyes.
Line your pockets
While children die.
Give to the rich,
And starve the poor,
While refueling the race-war.
You're anti-gay.
You're anti-she.
You're anti-them.
You're anti-me.
Let's take a stand,
Let's take a knee,
against this fascist tyranny.
In my heart I do believe
In spite of what I see.
We'll fight off this attack
By embracing unity.
Don't be so naive
We still hold the key.
We'll bring our country back
To the right side of history.
Damn your lies,
Your soulless eyes.
Line your pockets
While children die.
Give to the rich,
And starve the poor,
While refueling the race-war.
You're anti-gay.
You're anti-she.
You're anti-them.
You're anti-me.
Let's take a stand,
Let's take a knee,
against this fascist tyranny.

Saving face is commonplace,
so keep it simple, yeah, keep it light.
Shallow friends and deep fears.
Buying shots and slamming beers.
What we need we rarely find
when you leave yourself so far behind.
The night ends before it starts-
Broken bottles and empty hearts.
I see you
across the room,
drinking your bottle of wine.
I feel you,
I've been there too.
Whiskey's been a friend of mine.
I see you
across the room,
drinking your bottle of wine.
I feel you,
I've been there too.
Whiskey's been a friend of mine.
Another night here in this zoo
in a constant state of déjà vu.
I can't stand this place anymore.
Have you ever felt like this before?
What we need we rarely find
when we reside in this frame of mind.
The night ends before it starts
Broken bottles and empty hearts.
I see you
across the room,
drinking your bottle of wine.
I feel you,
I've been there too.
Whiskey's been a friend of mine.
I see you
across the room,
drinking your bottle of wine.
I feel you,
I've been there too.
Whiskey's been a friend of mine.
I see you
drinking your bottle of wine.
I feel you.
Whiskey's been a friend of mine.
I see you
drinking your bottle of wine.
I feel you.
Whiskey's been a friend of mine.

Awakening

I might be half the man
The world asked me to be;
That doesn’t mean
I'm half the human.
I can’t see whats so wrong
With feeling empathy
On the brink
Of this revolution.
Whats the obsession
With our masculinity,
When we need
To be twice as human.
I tried to fit in with
The old society:
Land of the free,
Home of confusion.
Who’s gonna say
All the the things you wanna say
When you don’t (you don’t)
When you don’t (you don’t).
Who’s gonna be
All the things you wanna be
When you won’t (you won’t)
When you won’t (you won’t).
Who’s gonna say
All the the things you wanna say
When you don’t (you don’t)
When you don’t (you don’t).
Who’s gonna be
All the things you wanna be
When you won’t (you won’t)
When you won’t (you won’t).
She might be half the woman
The world asked her to be;
That doesn’t mean
She’s half the human.
We can’t see what so wrong
With opportunity
On the brink
Of this revolution.
Whats the obsession
With her femininity,
When we need
to just be human.
She tried to fit in with
High society.
Maybe she’s born with it;
Maybe its make believe.
Who’s gonna say
All the the things you wanna say
When you don’t (you don’t)
When you don’t (you don’t).
Who’s gonna be
All the things you wanna be
When you won’t (you won’t)
When you won’t (you won’t).
Who’s gonna say
All the the things you wanna say
When you don’t (you don’t)
When you don’t (you don’t).
Who’s gonna be
All the things you wanna be
When you won’t (you won’t)
When you won’t (you won’t).

All Over Again

Waking up now
And I feel brand new
Gotta run
Gotta run
Gotta get back to you
Waking up now
And I feel brand new
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one that broke through
More than words
Can say
I'm trying everyday
To get you back somehow
To get you back
I can't deny it
I'm dying to try it
All over again
All over again
You can't deny it
You're dying to try it
All over again
All over again
Wait it out now
It's all up to you
Take some time
Take some time
Take time from feeling blue
Wait it out now
It's all up to you
Stars align
Stars align
Stars are guiding us through
More than words
Can say
I'm trying everyday
To get you back somehow
To get you back
I can't deny it
I'm dying to try it
All over again
All over again
You can't deny it
You're dying to try it
All over again
All over again

Excuse Me
03:11
|

Get it right tonight
'cause you know I'm fallin'.
'Cause I'm on fire.
Gotta set my sight
on a fate that's callin'
and I desire.
So where's the fight?
'Cause I know you're stallin'.
This gun's for hire.
Don't say it's alright,
it's so damned appallin'.
I'm a live-wire.
Please excuse me-
I'm runnin' low on excuses
for the way I'm behavin'.
Please excuse me-
I'm running out of excuses
for the way I'm behavin'.
I'll be burnin' bright
in this life I've chosen
like a wildfire.
Tryin' to ignite
the events in motion
that might inspire.
So bring on the night
with a mind wide open
to getting higher.
In the dying light
yeah, I'm almost golden
but so damned tired.
Please excuse me-
I'm runnin' low on excuses
for the way I'm behavin'.
Please excuse me-
I'm running out of excuses
for the way I'm behavin'.
Please excuse me-
I'm runnin' low on excuses
for the way I'm behavin'.
Please excuse me-
I'm running out of excuses
for the way I'm behavin'.
Please excuse me-
I'm runnin' low on excuses
for the way I'm behavin'.
Please excuse me-
I'm running out of excuses
for the way I'm behavin'.
