A.P. 03:25
these city lights tell me something big is coming tell me smile and take the morning up and about, up and coming pilgrims we are, so city lights, be gentle to me turn your head up, see it coming now it's on you and it's on me don't break down and cry, it's nothing we have come so far city lights, be gentle to me

you made me feel happier after all back when we were that small conundrum you made me a great paper house in the rain a trail-less freight train then again I miss it when we laughed at life on the way to my car but mostly I miss not knowing I miss small talking over beers and glancing at the stars but mostly I miss it when you'd make short work of a dull day I'd smile to hear you say 'you and I' when it was easy to just let you go back where you belong to your song and I miss the days of wonder when I'd smile my way to work but mostly I miss not knowing I miss it when the nights were young and we could share the cold but mostly I miss not knowing I miss waiting to see when joy and peace would wash ashore but mostly I miss not knowing you

Ambition 03:18
when have I become so jealous of you? don't mind me, baby I got no right to judge you now I'm just a shade of an old twinkle in my eye don't mind me, baby won't you kick me while I'm down maybe that's all I need maybe that's all I need maybe that's all I need to overcome this ambition and sleep tight why have I become this obsessed with you? what could have been is no longer yours or mine to save maybe like this you'll get the sadness that you crave no mercy now this is your cue to sleep around maybe that's all I need maybe that's all I need maybe that's all I need to overcome this ambition and sleep tight

it's your house blend in oh, little bird no one turns the sun on quite like you it's your house blend in oh little bird no one paints the sky blue quite like you sing your dreams of loving spring pluck your petals of daylight don't cry, everything's OK close your honey eyes, goodnight

Strange Girl 05:29
they say that girl is every perfect family man's dream she smiles at pictures with no single hint of irony she wakes up happy for a day that starts at seven, one hour earlier she doesn't care about the poetry of lightning she doesn't put on psychedelic music to sleep she doesn't call her mom, 'cause she's no longer a kid no, no, no, no indeed, she is the queen of the mainstream but not you, not you you're so strange, girl and that's what I love about you they say that girl sees life as a stroll in the courtyard of a thousand princes-charming begging for a favor she's bright and sunny even when it starts to rain in a lazy pool sunday she has no love for posting cryptic pictures online she has no nerve for breaking countryside conventions she has no semblance of anything spontaneous let her dream in her bed of lilac sheets oh yes, she is the goddess of normalcy unlike you, oh you you're so strange, girl and that's what I love about you she is the queen of the mainstream she is the goddess of normalcy she's the plastic smile, you're different she's the overused line, you're different she's the predictable pop song, you're different she's the one-way road ahead, you're different she's the canned tv show, you're different she's the reunion tour, you're different and that's what I love about you

Linda & Flo 04:13
trouble rears its ugly head trouble hits until we're dead after all that we've been through I'm so tired tried labels, but they don't fit (they never have, no) nevermind these hordes of losers but before I go, Linda said to Flo, let's tear this night apart trouble followed us around found in us agony's every sound sigh, blood, sweat, teardrop we've been children of the habit easy to pretend we'd be back again right where everything started now as dear routine leaves deep inside it screams what's done will always be done always nevermind these hordes of losers but before I go, Linda said to Flo, let's tear this night apart sorrow calls on the horizon so let's just have fun before we go on to live our lives apart

Chroma Key 07:15
eu quis voar pra outro lugar bem longe da cilada você esqueceu, não era eu naquela amarga madrugada não era eu veio a polícia e a TV ninguém escutou minha história durante a queda ouvi você a zombar de mim pela demora não era eu

dear estranged lover, I think for you this is just another week but your smell still lingers on my mattress videos of warm ignorant bliss from you and me think you've burned my letters worn-out tomes of cheap philosophy how many more hardened verses how many more choruses will it take for you to believe? now I still feel it while I drive numb and green to buy some groceries dear estranged lover, maybe my sin was just to want it all to be the soothing when you breathe to be the comfort when you lay back sick on sunday noons like you are to me do you still feel it while you try to scrap the plans, start yet again and now young mystery's your friend pushing your button, erasing me your skin of sun and scent of sea smiling to the Polaroid the scene that took my breath away radiant shelter after a busy day dear estranged lover, I know that you would break before you bend now we are at poles apart and I cling to routine to see me through another week well, you see it was your dream, the one you threw away waking up smeling of lilies going back to bed to spend the day or just hear me say how I love your way take care

America 04:16
I wanted to be young forever, so the story told I really just wanted to know you before I got old I wanted to forget about the premise of this game to know that you are much more than a northern country's name if I could write a motorcycle diary, that would do to speed along your coastline with a trusted friend or two I'd cradle myself in your breast, i'd wake up feeling your rain I'd live breathing your nightlife to find my fortune and fame I wanted to be young and wash my days with Chilean wine to get to see what untold wonders lie along your spine to learn about your tongues and jungles, drift along your sea to converse with forgotten poets in your summer breeze your tale is one of rivers for people who never swam of Jesus statues taking breath away from atheist men of ponderous contradictions from a north who snores outloud while earnest Disney pictures brave the old mysterious south my lonesome forced detachment is my way to tell it true that's why I sing in English even when I sing of you who's Latin even when you're white who's darker yet when you are bright who exhales songs of joy while always strumming chords of plight I wanted to be young forever, so the story told I wanted to take you away from days of sunny cold I wanted you to move from the last wagons of this train and I wanted you to make me proud of uttering your name America

thought of leaving town thought of glamour underground guess we're always learning letters written down coffee's good to hide the frown yes, we're always learning mama told me once, heaven rarely feels like home and there's no way around it oh those lucky freaks routine pouring on their weeks there's no price that buys it it's okay, it makes my day it couldn't get more right keep your shades on at all times 'cos even when it's night it's always sunny it's always sunny no luck leaving town only dirt lies underground pesticide to kill the buggers come and speak my tongue even if it's not your own meanings always surface in the end it's okay, it makes my day it couldn't get more right keep your shades on at all times 'cos even when it's night it's always sunny it's always sunny when I look the other way I'm just blinded by the light I'm okay with home today 'cos even when it's night it's always sunny it's always sunny how I love your silhouette against the mighty skies I don't mind staying home today it's just a state of mind it's just a state of mind
