August time
Height of summer
Ain’t done nothin’ with my
Boogie woogie
All this time
Still inside
Got to find my reason for my
Reason why
So
You wanna play the game
You might as well play it well
So
That’s why they always say
Be careful who you tell
So
You wanna play the game
You might as well see it through
So
That’s why they always say
Be careful what you do
Hot as night
Sleepin’ city
Steepin’ sticky steam and it
Don’t look pretty
Feed the high
Bite the bullet
Give into your vice when ya
Know you shouldn’t
So
You wanna play the game
You might as well play it well
So
That’s why they always say
Be careful who you tell
So
You wanna play the game
You might as well see it through
So
That’s why they always say
Be careful what you do

Faceless

I won’t be faceless anymore
It’s got my head down in the dirt
And it’s starting to hurt
Oh no
I’ll not be nameless one more day.
It’s got me reelin’ from the hurt
And it’s starting to work
In spite
That all my reservations stand
It’s got me eatin’ all my words
But it’s starving me still
So now
Shake me up from my toes
Roll me under that ol’ summer glow
I wanna hear some o’ that midwestern soul
I wanna go where the good people roam
When I first met you I was broke
Seen me hangin’ by a thread
Destiny so misled
In time
Watch all my blessings start to grow
And it leads me to believe
We need some sweet reprieve
In line
With common minds to stay afloat
And I thank that harvest moon
For leading me to you
So now
Shake me up from my toes
Roll me under that ol’ summer glow
I wanna hear some o’ that midwestern soul
I wanna go where the good people roam
Shake me up from my toes
Roll me under that ol’ summer glow
I wanna hear some o’ that midwestern soul
I wanna go where the good people roam

Carry You
04:09

There was a time when I couldn’t see
My destination through the trees
So I stood up and off of my knees
To take the trail in front of me, now I’m
Sweatin’ tears, blood, and Jim Beam
Whatever happened to that dream
Maybe I’m as crazy as I seem
Whatever happened to that dream
Whatever happened to that dream
And oh, my love I could
Carry you
Upon this hearth I won’t
Bury you
On oceans we must
Ferry through
Oh my love I could
Carry you
Carry you
Cuttin’ paths out on the scene
To find the answers I still seek
Don’t be too hasty to believe
‘Cause it’s too easy to deceive, now I’m
Still beatin’ back the demons in my sleep
Whatever happened to that dream
Maybe i’m as crazy as i seem
Whatever happened to that dream
Whatever happened to that dream
And oh, my love I could
Carry you
Upon this hearth I won’t
Bury you
On oceans we must
Ferry through
Oh my love I could
Carry you
Carry you
And oh, my love I could
Carry you
Upon this hearth I won’t
Bury you
On oceans we must
Ferry through
Oh my love I could
Carry you
Carry you
Carry you

Then, Inside
03:31

I
Want you to comfort me
And I
Need you to care for me
And I
Don’t care what price I pay
Ah,
Precious things wait for me
Well,
Who stands in want for me
Hell,
Choose yours most carefully
See
How I can break from me
Smell
Your creature smoldering
Somebody would kill to have it
Somebody would die just
Tryin’ to get home
Somebody wants to be where you
Are
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Ah,
Twist in my mouth and break
Stemmed
From this cacophony
Lose
When you feed in your tragedy
I don’t
Owe you no sympathy
My
This idea of heavenly
Can’t
Fall on me only
When
You listen to misery
Then
You fight what can make you free
Somebody would kill to have it
Somebody would die just
Tryin’ to get home
Somebody wants to be where you
Are
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside
Then, inside

Supertown
03:43
|

|
Awkward kids on the bus
Makin’ such a pretty little fuss
Goin’ down to Supertown
Gonna mess around and then fall down
Sidle up right next to me if you must
When you need a little action
Ride down to the main attraction
Conjure up libations
Of green and purple and pink and blue
And I’ll meet you at the station after 2
Downtown do what it please
This one says she’s a merry little tease
Try to be a good boy
But you ain’t the one with the best toys
And it’s hard to be the big man on your knees
If you crave a little reaction
Just you don the latest fashions
Don’t you ruffle your feathers
In capricious emotional weather
Just keep your cool and you won’t be made a fool
Supergirl’s got an apple pie in her purse
Struttin’ all the way down in her tragic skirt
Wond’rin if you’ll have a slice
And the second try is just as nice
And it’s best with a cream sherry over ice
When you feel a little tender
Come down on the street big spender
Roll down to Supertown
And see just how we get around
And you just may never be the same again
When you need a little action
Ride down to the main attraction
Conjure up libations
Of green and purple and pink and blue
And I’ll meet you at the station after 2
Roll down to Supertown
And see just how we get around
And you just may
Never be the same
Again
