You better stay in your lane
You better not complain
I’m gonna break away, gonna hit the road now
You kinda had your say, now I gotta go
I don’t wanna run you down,
but baby you’re out of line
And I ain’t gonna sit around
and wait until you make up your mind
You better get out of the way,
coz I’m running the light
Running the light, yeah!
You gonna ride or die?
You gonna fight or fly?
It’s either my way or the highway, baby
And no goddamn way you’re gonna slow me down
I don’t wanna…
Got my eyes on the road
Got my diamond in the back
Got my hands on the wheel
And my heart on my sleeve, yeah

Astoria

Hey man, it’s been a million years
How’ve you been? I heard you got married
And you have kids on the way?
Drove into town not long ago
I’m only back for the day to put flowers
On my old man’s grave
Do you recall all the games we used to play?
Do you recall? Man, it feels like yesterday
Astoria, Astoria,
I’m going back to a place I once belonged
Astoria, Astoria
I’m going back to the start, please take me back to the start
We used to be inseparable,
Young adventurers, unstoppable
Making our own way
But I left this town at 21,
You stuck around, got a job a the railroad,
I always knew you’d stay
Do you recall all the dragons that we’d slay?
Do you recall? Man, it feels like yesterday
Astoria…
Life is so strange, man
Nobody stays the same
Everything changes
And nobody is to blame, no
Astoria…

Let me tell you ‘bout this girl I’m seeing
She’s the finest girl you’ll ever see
Mostly she’s a wonderful human being
But she speaks so hyperbolically
Never tells the truth
What am I to do?
You lie to me, lie to me
You lie, lie, lie, Kellyanne
I’m no stranger to some tall tale telling
But my Kellyanne she takes the prize
All the things she’ll say may seem compelling
But I know she’s telling only lies
Never tells the truth…

Young Love

Waking up with you
Baby, it’s all that I’ve ever wanted to do
You brighten up my day
Whatever worries I have they all fade away
And when I look into your eyes
You know it almost makes me cry
We got young love, young love
You and I
My hair is getting gray
Nevertheless I keep falling in love every day
And once in a while
Baby, you’re blowing my mind with the way that you smile
When I look into your eyes…
You reinvigorate me
You are my one and only
To be continued baby, oh-oo-oh-oo-oh

Montreal Morning
03:02
|

|
Sunlight gently hits her window
Naked and cold she wakes and breaks
She breaks
Last night he was right beside her
Wanting to make things work
Now it hurts
Cause she knows that he won’t come back
What did she do to deserve this?
Didn’t she give enough? Not enough
of her love?
She thought they would be forever
Guarding the love they shared
Now she’s scared
Cause she knows that he won’t come back
And she listens to his song
It keeps her hanging on, yeah
He runs free
So free
Without the pain
She caused him
And she knows he won't come back
And she knows he won’t come back

Invisible Girl

She sits in the snow in Stockholm City
Holding a sign up that she’s made
She’s speaking her mind to people in power
And she’ll say: “You gotta start acting before it’s too late”
“We gotta unite behind the science,
Don’t you know time is running out?
And we need a whole new way of thinking,
Don’t you know, we gotta get on a sustainable route”
Oh, she used to feel all alone, invisible
Now millions rise up by her side, irrepressible
Invisible girl, you’re changing the world
Invisible girl, you’re changing the world
From Tokyo to New York City
From Copenhagen to L.A.
Children are taking to the streets now
and you: You better listen to what they have to say
Oh, she used to feel…
Don’t hesitate, accelerate!
We got no time to waste
We wanna see action
Don’t let us down this time
Invisible girl, you’re changing the world…
She sits in the snow in Stockholm City
Making me wanna change my ways

Black Snake, so venomous
I’ve been too generous
Ooh, but I’m coming for you
Misdeeds despicable
Sins unforgivable
Ooh, but I’m coming for you
Did you think you’d get away with murder?
Did you think I wouldn’t notice?
Did you think you’d get away with murder?
I’m coming for you!
Black Snake, the evidence
of your malevolence
Ooh, I’m coming for you
You lie to everyone
That’s right, you’d better run!
Ooh, coz I’m coming for you!
Did you think…

Stay
03:25

Lately I’ve been feeling blue
It’s been a rocky road for me and you
And I know, pretty baby, you’ve been sad
And I know I ain’t been much fun
Acting like I’m angry at everyone
Tell me, pretty baby, are you mad?
I just wanna go back to where I once was
I only care about you and us
All that I’m asking of you is that you
Stay tonight, tell me you’ll
Stay tonight, and baby I
I’ll do my best to make things right
I know I sometimes scream and shout
Til I forget what I got mad about
Tell me, pretty baby, is love blind?
I know I sometimes run and hide
I’ve been a mess since my daddy died, yeah
Tell me, pretty baby, that you don’t mind
I just wanna go back…
I wanna show you that I’m on the right way now
Don’t wanna live a single day without you in my life
Cause everything that I’ll ever need
Is standing oh so close right in front of me
Tell me, pretty baby, are you still mine?
Tell me you’ll stay tonight…

Headstones
03:36

Empty bottles in a dirty motel
Heavy drinking all night long
Girl I failed you and I feel like hell
Never felt so alone, never felt so beside myself
Mr. Petty’s on the radio
Gotta love the irony
I’m free falling in the afterglow
Never felt so alone, but I know what to do now
Some men wanna be world famous
They wanna make waves
But I just wanna make love to you until my dying day
Some men wanna be celebrated
And live in the light
But I just wanna come home to you and hold you through the night
I go walking at the cemetery
I see my name on every stone
Imagination playing tricks on me
Never felt so alone, but I know what to do now
Some men wanna…

Setting Sails
06:24
|
|||
|
When will you break down and cry,
Like I’ve done over you?
When will my love for you die,
Live I’ve done over you?
I’m setting sails for a new place
An island where I can set my troubles ashore
I’m setting sails for a new place
It’s an island where you won’t remind me of things that I’m not
