Let You Down Here's the story of
An emotional reckless clown
If you wind him up
He most surely will let you down
Here's the story of
Just how soon everything goes south
When he opens up
And the foolishness spills right out
And lets you down
In a moment I'll let you down
In the morning I
Put my big floppy shoes back on
It'll save some time
When my words, they become all wrong
And let you down
In a moment I'll let you down
And I'm walkin' 'round the city
The city on my own
And the stars make the world so pretty
So pretty on my own
And I'm walkin' 'round the city
Oh no no.
Here's the story of
An emotional reckless clown
If you wind me up
I most surely will let you down
Let you down
In a moment I'll let you down
And I'm walkin' 'round the city
The city on my own
And the stars make the world so pretty
So pretty on my own
And I'm walkin' 'round the city
The city on my own
And the world never looked so pretty
Oh no no…
Your California You've been running for another
Hesitation like the others
And the cold air is flat with feeling
Till your baseline it hits your ceiling
You've been running for another
Feel it around you
As your California passes by
You've been gone
Fate it surrounds you
As it comes to ease your mind
You've been fading from your lover
One occasion finds another
And the cold air is flat with feeling
Till your baseline it hits your ceiling
You've been running for another
Chorus
It's a crime, baby
What you do to me
Maybe in time, baby
You will see
Back to You Yesterday you drifted to a daydream
Yeah, the leaves were all green, skies of blue
You can remember those days that seem to cannot be
Yeah, your smile, it comes back to you
When you were young you had so much fun always
There was oh so much time in the day
For hangin' around, actin' really cool
Yeah, your smile, it comes back to you
No, you never thought that it wouldn't go on forever
But the leaves fell from the trees and the sky turned gray colors
So you had to let it go, to forget it all together
But you think about those days
Yeah, your smile, it comes back to you
Yesterday you drifted to a daydream
Yeah, the leaves were all green, skies of blue
You can remember those days that seem to cannot be
Yeah, your smile, it comes back to you
Oh, you can remember when it felt so nice
Yeah, you think about it, those days were nice
No, you can remember when it felt so nice
Falling Backwards You say I am holding back again
That lately I am so indifferent
Just hanging on as I get whirled around.
You say I am falling backwards
As you watch me out in the yard
"So stand up straight."
I want to but it's so hard,
It's so hard, yeah.
You say I am one-dimensional
That lately I am so predictable
Just holding on 'cause down is up is down.
Chorus
You say I am holding back again
That lately I am so indifferent.
Chorus
Rock Through My Window A broken man
Head in hand
A pink carnation
Hits the sand
And don't you waste your trouble
On every little thing that seems to come along
'Cause every single bubble
Will rise and then will tumble
Be forever gone
Forever gone
A hopeless man
Raised his hands
As he screams damnation
Across the sand
Chorus
I wish someone would throw
A rock into my window
I'd struggle just to find it
But I wish someone would throw
A rock into my window
I'd keep it in a silver-plated can…
Hello Hello
You've got to hear the story
Of the ghost that can't let go
It's here
And when I get back home it will be there
Come on, let's go
Hello, you've got to say hello
Just when you hear the music you can't find...
It's gone
But not to be forgotten all the time
It comes so close
It's here
But when I get back home it will be there
Come on, let's go
Hello, you've got to say hello
Just when you hear the music you can't find…
Halfway to Summer Hey, you're feelin' down
Well, rise on up, we're halfway to summer
Come on down, come on down
'Cause the cold ain't gonna last forever
Come on out, come on out
'Cause you know we're halfway to summer
Come on
Sittin' at your window
Watchin' as the world, it goes by,
It goes by
Out of nowhere,
No one wants to play anymore
Rise or fall
There's nothing more to say at all
Sittin' at your window
Watchin' as the days pass you by
Pass you by
Out of nowhere,
Nothing much to say anymore
Rise or fall
There's nothing more to say at all
Chorus
Come on, y'all...
Who We Are Change is coming…
If I've thrown it all away
Then I can't say sorry
If I've thrown it all away
Then I can't say sorry
'Cause who we are has come undone
Who we are has come undone
Who we are has come undone
But who we are is okay
It's okay...
Pretty Picture She paints a pretty picture
Coming off of her train going downtown
Cutting across the courtyard
Another early morning winding down
And she's come to write her future
Coming off of her train going downtown
She could have been in Houston
Instead of where she's living here and now
Leaving behind a story
As clearly cut and smooth as ivory flour
But she's come to write her future
Coming off of her train going downtown
And she paints a picture pretty
Coming off of her train going...
And she wants to tell her story
Coming off of her train going...
And she wants to write her future
Coming off of her train going downtown
Castles Give in to the fear and the emotion in your eyes
And see the one you can believe go to its demise
'Cause everyone is so afraid of everything these days
And still the castles of your fear growing anyway
Oh…
First you're moving slow, and then you're standing still
And if that open wound don't steal you, the guilt then surely will
'Cause everyone is so ashamed of everything these days
And still the ocean of your tears growing anyway
Oh…
So when you feel it kind of move, let it come inside
And see the ocean of your tears go to its demise
'Cause everyone is so afraid of everything these days
And still the castles of your fear growing anyway
Oh…
Complicated Gone away
Gone, like heroes on a long cadence
Gone away
Gone, as he rolls on along inside of me
It's complicated, I know...
