Not Here, Not Now

CHORUS
i wanna keep on livin’
not here,
not now
You gotta raise a revolution
like you raise a child
as an independent thinker
and a little bit wild
CHORUS
not worth the price of the admission
but they’re still going to make you pay
but what’s the use of changin’
when the rest of the world stays the same
CHORUS
and if ever the weather could change
it should be now, it could be now...
CHORUS

Drunken Sex
04:31
|
|||
|
i don’t give a damn about the
lump in my throat
or you making me choke
on the words that you’ve spoken
i don’t wanna be a stranger
no, i don’t wanna be a stranger
i don’t give a damn about this
knife in my back
or you fading to black
blending into the background
i don’t wanna be a stranger
no, i don’t wanna be a stranger
CHORUS
Run your dirty little fingers through my hair
If we got some time to kill
because i just can’t be alone tonight
and i don’t think that i will
i don’t give a damn about the
depth of emotion
the depth of the ocean
i think we may be coasting
i don’t wanna be a stranger
no, i don’t wanna be a stranger
I don’t give a damn about the
thoughts in your head
or the lies that we fed
and i think it’s been said, now, baby
i don’t wanna be a stranger
no, i don’t wanna be a stranger
CHORUS
Run your dirty little fingers through my hair
If we got some time to kill
because i just can’t be alone tonight
and i don’t think that i will
I can take a punch
if i know that it’s coming
i may be out to lunch
but baby, you’re slumming
you don’t need to hear another
sad sob story
but if you stick with me
then we’ll both be sorry
CHORUS

People Waiting
04:10
|

|
Say what you want to say
i am listening
(you say) where do you see yourself
in the next life?
and who do you think you are?
and what’s your big deal, baby?
everybody’s gotta be somebody,
right?
CHORUS
and life it swirls
around in circles
making changes
but never changing
and you and i were
expecting something
like people waiting
at an empty station
bigger is as bigger does
the stupid they are
the harder they fall
in love
out of love
so ask your silly questions
the big ones with no answers
and i’ll give no reply
and you will say goodbye
CHORUS

The Architect
02:23
|
|||
|
I am the architect
of a thousand pocket universes
i hold the keys of creation in the palm of my hand
i play notes that sound like emotion
and rhythms that feel like life
i craft perfect little moments from imperfect plans
but no one hears the words i say
they drift up into the aether, and slip away
the magic lost in mystery
CHORUS
I am the architect
of intellect
in a present imperfect
meant to misdirect
i am the architect
the moments, sometimes fleeting
and not so readily clear
of love once had and lost, but so true
Of heroic feats accomplished
and epic dreams pursued
the hero gets the girl, and all that ballyhoo
but no one hears the words i say
they drift up into the aether, and slip away
the magic lost in disarray
CHORUS
I am the architect
of intellect
in a present imperfect
meant to misdirect
and disconnect
all due respect
this shit is wrecked

Love Is Doubt
05:04
|
|||
|
Oh i wish that things could be different
but you can’t change the nature of man
i guess you really can kill the spirit
oh, what a way to go
your love your love,
so terrified
once was complex
now simplified
is it fate?
the line between love and hate
it’s been disastrous since conception
an accident you can’t look away from
an exercise in self-deception
oh what a way to go
your love your love’s
a carousel
go round and round
your spiral hell
just to get your kicks
and it makes me sick
your fire, your fire
is dampened down
from blaze to smold’ring ember, now
it’s such a shame
i miss your wild flame
CHORUS
Nothing's Free
(no one ever) thinks they’re a typical creature
standing on the same slowly crumbling cliff
An act of god from out of the ether
oh, what a way to go
your love, your love’s
a house of cards
so close to crumbling to the yard
by itself
you think of no one else
I wish, i wish
i knew your plan
but i am not your superman
here to save your day
you better run away
CHORUS
Starting fires left and right
incinerator
i can't face another fight
everybody burns out
sooner or later...
we can scream and shout
or we can work it out
our love is doubt
our love is doubt
CHORUS
We can scream and shout
or we can work it out
but the only certain thing about this
love is doubt
between you and me
i think it’s plain to see
the only certain thing is love will never ever be
what we wanted
