Who Who 04:28
I was getting kinda high When I saw you passing by It’s been getting kinda hard to me Well I’m sure it’s no surprise And I know you realize That you found another fallacy Another lie to hold on to So frail I had to go back up that trail This ship is taking me home So fast Well I’ll see you, my friend If you survive that blast Now, how do you? Two sides to your coin When were you thinking you’d tell? And who, who, who, who Threw you down a wishing well
2.
Early in the morning Leave it all to me To turn your honey lips To blows and kicks Oh so cordially Let me ask you baby Just how long can we Keep this act up, Let me tell you That it’s plain enough to see That I can blame the devil… But the devil, he can’t blame me

Cookie Town 04:06
Went down to the cookie town I got rid of all my stress Been down but I'll be just fine And clean up all my mess ‘Cause I'm a wanted man On a lonely road Took five by the neon drive I forgot why I came Bit down on the devil's apple And I had to change my name ‘Cause I'm a wanted man On a lonely road No dime, had a hell of a time And I'm back, yes I'm back Hallelujah, glad I knew ya Keep to the left and just pass it on All day long… Went down to the cookie town I got lean, pale and blind Been down but I’ll be just fine All wasting away, Just rotting away in the cold On a lonely road

Wanted 03:10
"Tic-Toc-Tic-Toc" the clock goes, Time is up Time to carry on Like shadows we move I whisper to you That you're my rock and you're my treat One more time and that is it And I'll make up for such the life I put you through Spoiled in riches, we'll be sporting an affair No matter where they look, they'll never find us 'Cause we're not here nor there You gotta Love me once Gotta kiss me twice And just dance to rhythm (Dance, dance to the rhythm) All night long You’ve got to get up now I'm telling you right now The deed is done And you're wanted baby Veiled in black you walsed into the room I skipped a beat, you fell too soon Our eyes filled with color, ringing in our ears I tasted sadness, worst of fears In the saltiness of your tears And I made up for a such the life I put you through Before the curtain's down, I'll take your hand in mine Start with a sudden move, won't you approve? So honey one last time

Jump 03:47
I woke up, Monday morning Rhythm beating in my ear And the strings on my old banjo Said they’ll carry me from here And I knew they wanted to save me From a prison only I can see So I called my only friend but He just said I was a drag And we wrote our constitution Revolution in a bag And the more we kept on trying The illusion started haunting me Well the doctor, he kept saying I was down and feeling blue And the beggar, he kept begging Let me take it all on you They used to tell me “Hey, Jump, you take a little give a lot” “Hey, Jump, Make up your mind say what you wanna say” “Jump” - But they never told me how high So I tried to pick a pocket Million miles away from home And the jury saw me hanging Left me drifting all alone And the further I’ve gone traveling Nothing seemed to ever bother me
8.
Don’t you know that I never go far When I leave you alone windows up in the car? Yes you do! You know I got mysterious ways Let me know ‘cause I’ve been running for days Because Chester Chester You’re on fire! And I think you’re a considerable threat - Oh no Chester Chester You’re on fire! By far you were my favorite pet I bet you know Never known you could sink so low Don’t let me catch you sneaking up on your sister How low? You know you’ve got foreseeable ways Let me know ‘cause I’ve been out for days Looking for you
9.
Dance if you can, man They really want you to be hers I said dance if you can, man They really want you to be hers Dance if you can ‘Cause you’re up on display Dance if you can ‘Cause she’s looking your way Dance if you can Because winter is coming to stay
10.
Big Rain 03:45
If I wanted I could take you I could make you mine, let you know it too I see through the glass Moving so fast You're one in a million If I wanted I could have you With a blink of an eye Let it get to you I have to stay clear Show you my fears Would you see me through? And don’t you know... It takes time to forgive yourself You can’t rush it... And now it’s A big rain and I can't explain how it got me But now I’m gonna wash my hurt off Gonna wash my hurt off If I wanted I could tell you the most terrible lie Lead you anywhere Baby you're scared We're already there

Longsong 06:10
Minutes to minutes And hours to hours Come ride on a spaceship Halfway to mars Don’t you know, baby when you go I stay waiting and waiting and terribly aching And nothing good comes out of me Lady please, why don’t we try and take it all slow? There’s still a long way to go… Show me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine Just take one small step And fool all mankind Oh, honey now When you walked in It’s like you jumped right out of vogue I heard ’em wedding bells a-ringing I had to set you off on course To be caught in a trance Of a once sweet romance And be wooed by a fool on you door Baby you’re cold now Reach out to me Tell me you want it And set yourself free ... Honey honey when you come a-knocking My heart is dropping To the floor I heard ’em wedding bells a-ringing I had to set you off on course To be caught in a trance Of a once sweet romance And be wooed by a fool on you door
