1 Wordless Chorus
So much goin' on these days
Forget about instinct, it's not what pays
Pleasure, up and down my smile
A carton of eggs think, it's all worthwhile

Tell me spirit, what has not been done?
I'll rush out and do it, or are we doin' it now?

Fissure is the thrill of day
Forget about feeling, that's not what pays
But you know, all of this can change
Remember the promise as a kid you made

We are the innovators
They are the imitators
Come on, hey don't you know how we started
We forgot about love, but weren't brokenhearted

2 It Beats 4 U
Who could see and not believe
The heart that beats the wavelength
And who could say but never do
Things they've said to someone who

Through all that's been and all will be
So in line so thoughtfully

In tune with you, so in time for me
New thoughts arrive, so in time for me

Who can count the time I'm beatin'
With my hands?
Who can stop the smoke from breathin'
In my head?

Words will come and words will go
Make believe and overthrow
Just believe and you can do
You know my heart, it beats 4 u

It beats 4 u, so in time we beat
Your thoughts align, so in time with me

3 Gideon
Gideon, What have you told us at all?
Make a sound, come down off the wall.
Religion – should appeal to the hearts of the young.
Who are you? What have you become?

You animal. Come on.
What does this remind you of?

Truly.  Truly we have become.
Hated and feared,
For something we don’t want.

Listen. Listen.
Most of us,
Believe that this is wrong.

You animal. Come on.
What does this remind you of?
Animal. Come on.
What does this remind you of?
Animal. Come on.

4 What a Wonderful Man
He was leading us through the dark
He was saying that love goes on
I was wanting some ice cream
He knew exactly what I meant

From the driver's seat in the dark
He popped a tape in the dash of his car
And when the singer started to scream
I knew exactly what he meant

I never knew for sure
What a wonderful man he was
What a sensible man he was
What a wonderful man he was

I never knew for sure
What a wonderful man he was
What a sensuous man he was
What a wonderful man he was

Why do we love what is wrong?
Big devil told us to sing along
And like a loving flock we obey
Except for him he went his own way

I never knew for sure
What a wonderful man he was
Till the day I found out his cause
Was to do it for all of us

5 Off the Record
Sorry bout the things I had to say
and I’ll make it up to you right now
at the penny arcade.

in an open car or wherever you are
push yourself too hard
and it might get hot.

Well, I really don’t need the confusion,
and you know I just ain’t the type
to get all wrapped up in the illusion
of doin’ something that I know ain’t right
right – right???

You’ve got to want to re-arrange
and keep it off the record
off the record

you’ve got to know that we will change
and keep it off the record
Off the record

In a crowded room near the box of boom,
to an artificial tune,
I see you swoon.

Well you knew all this would turn to mist
If you’re idea wasn’t kissed,
Why’re you so pissed?

Well, I know you don’t need the confusion,
And you know you just ain’t the type
To get all wrapped up in the illusion
Of doin’ something that you know ain’t right
right – right??? right – right??? right – right??? right – right - right???

6 Into the Woods
A kitten on fire, a baby in a blender
Both sound as sweet as a night of surrender
I know it ain't easy but you do what you can
If your livin' gets wheezy, you can follow this plan

Put in more than you could ever get out
I'm tired of the talking, I know what you're about
Now open your mouth, here comes the spoon
You're gonna eat what I give ya and you're gonna like it real good

I went over the river and into the woods, where did I go?
Where a wood burning stream, flows up through the trees
Like the soul of the hottest kind of lover, I've ever seen
One who lives to choose another fool's dream

A good shower head and my right hand
The two best lovers that I ever had
Now if you find you agree with what I just said
You'd better find a new love and let 'em into your head

I went over the river and into the woods, where did I go?
Where a wood burning stream, flows up through the trees
Like the soul of the hottest kind of lover, I've ever seen
One who lives to choose another fool's dream

7 Anytime
Is this, climbin' up to the moon?
Or is it bailin' out too soon?
I hope we didn't, I hope we didn't wait too long
I hope we didn't, I hope we didn't wait too long

All that I wanted to say
Words only got in the way
But then I found another way to communicate
Oh, yeah, oh

Is this, climbin' up to the moon?
Or is it fadin' out too soon?
Oh I know we didn't, I know we didn't wait too long
'Cause anytime's a good time to move on

Things I could say to myself
I could never say to anyone else
But what Madonna said, really helped
She said, "Boy, you better learn to express yourself"

I know we didn't, I know we didn't wait too long
'Cause anytime's a good time to move on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh oh, oh oh

8 Lay Low
Lay low why don’t ya now?
Lay back awhile and I’ll show ya - 
I got the good that you want
no need to go and
hunt something else
it’s right here with me
when you stay.

it’s always good when I get to see
that there’s never more than
what you’re telling telling me 
when you stay – home.

Lay low if the feel is right
(let the fetus rock)
I’ve got all that I want
here in you tonight
and we’ll pass out on the bedroom floor
after going like this (full tilt)
so long.

Hold up. You showed me.
Oh what you told me
It’s not what you want
But what you need
it’s not a head full of booze(pills)
or amphetamines
when you stay.

It’s always good when I get to see
That there’s never more that what you’re telling me
When you stay – home.

9 Knot Comes Loose
Baby, baby, can't you see that I'm smilin'?
Can't you see, there's a part of me that's brand new?
Used to be, was a part of me felt like hidin'
But now it comes through

Deep in my heart
That's where the knot comes loose
Deep in my heart
I will remember you

All my lovely life I been waitin'
Hot heels anticipatin'
Another love I found
Not to let it down, down

Deep in my heart
That's where the knot comes loose
Deep in my heart
I will remember you

Baby, baby, can't you see that I'm smilin'?
Can't you see, there's a part of me that's brand new?
Used to be, was a part of me felt like hidin'
But now it comes through
Now it comes through, comes through to you

10 Dondante
In a dream I saw you walkin’,
Like a kid alive and talkin’,
That was you.
In the classroom you were teachin’,
On the streets you were policin’,
That was you.

To the one I now know most.
I will tell them of your ghost like a thing.
That never, ever was…

And all that ever mattered,
Will some day turn back to batter,
Like a joke.

Behind thin walls you hid your feelins’,
Takes four legs to make a ceilin’,
Like a thing.

In a dream I saw you walkin’,
With your friends alive and talkin’.
That was you.
Well I saw it in your movement,
And even though you never knew it,
Well, I knew…

Just how sweet it could be,
If you’d never left these streets.
You had me worried, so worried,
That this would last…

But now I’m learning
learning that this will pass…
