Run Around 03:52
lyrics

Run Around I'm late for my part in the Hollywood movie I slept through the night and the world keeps on moving I wake up early just to have a decent place on a train full of people wearing Monday face they pile up all around me, but I don't mind: they're normal people and I'm just and ordinary guy off we go on another day I'm barely standing while I'm dreaming on the subway someone shake me awake, I can barely breath don't keep me stuck here when I say I want to leave We run around and around with the wind in our face blowing past worries with an elegant grace we run around and around just to make it all work like all the other people on the face of the earth we run around power lunch, back to work, before I hit the gym I do pilates for an hour but I don't get slim shower off, powder up, have a real quick shave throw on my favorite pair of Levi's and I'm on my way off we go on another night I've got a pocket full of whiskey and I'm feeling right I've got dancing feet and a rubber soul I've got a feeling and a ticket to the show

Ain't Over Yet 03:58
lyrics

Ain’t Over Yet I feel a rhythm while it’s burning in my head It holds my body hostage, keeps me sweating in my bed I feel it in my fingers, coursing through my veins Begging me to kick the horse and deftly grab the reins Mutter turns to rumble in this unrelenting heat I can feel the embers burning in the earth below my feet I’m a sinner in your gallows; this floor is bound to drop And common sense would tell me to stop But don’t you tell me to stop When you see red Don’t hum my song Then tell me it’s all in my head I see the end I feel the sweat I know it’s close But it aint over yet Fruitless endeavors are the folly of a man Bound to watch the wind while holding tighter to the sand No one knows the answers to the questions in my head They just mumble incoherent and smile back at me instead But the wheels keep turning, cut right through me Scars my mind like an old snuff movie But the credits are forgotten, the bubble’s gonna pop Now common sense would tell me to stop But don’t you tell me to stop When you see red Don’t hum my song Then tell me it’s all in my head I’m breathing fire Burning Hot I’m so damn close So don’t you tell me to stop When you see red Don’t hum my song Then tell me it’s all in my head I see the end I feel the sweat I know it’s close But it aint over yet

Torn Apart 04:11
lyrics

Torn Apart Afraid of moving backwards, I stand like an army of one the battle has been raging but the war has just begun the no-man's-land between us begins to grow I brace myself in silence before the show we are torn apart from two sides of a single hart I'm broken without your kiss It took me so long to believe that things were ending anyway I cried the first time you took to flight now I'm standing here all alone and I'm prepared to fight we are torn apart from two sides of a single heart I'm broken without your kiss

Blown Away A light from the doorway cast on the ceiling your overstated silhouette I bite back the nervous uneasy feeling it hasn't caught up with me yet but I might be out of my place roll back your sleeves and your hands are speaking looks like they've got a lot to say why don't you say it to my face? you break my heart I'm blown away down and out you're such a pitiful teacher wring my collar break me down and start me up again I'm just blown away hold me down you're such a pitiful teacher wring my collar break me down and start me up again fear like a toxin the neighbors are watching some say the Lord is watching too I know you don't want to hear it but they're your own words act like he's never watching you I might be out of my place a fight in the driveway up against the car now its only me and you why don't you say it to my face you break my heart I'm blown away down and out you're such a pitiful teacher wring my collar break me down and start me up again I'm just blown away hold me down you're such a pitiful teacher wring my collar break me down and start me up again

SOHO We were fighting at the show TV on the Radio so you left with an asshole but you where only nineteen and living the American dream pulling off you r skin-tight jeans when your agent called to say so maybe that's not fair and I'm wrong or maybe you don't care and we both should just move on Just one night for you to throw it all away one last fight on the streets of SOHO wasted there, our love affair I hope you like walking back home alone Well, that was several years ago I can't forget it though you left me in a deep hole I wonder how you've been now that you're not so green are you living on the silver screen or did your agent leave you solo maybe that's not fair and I'm wrong or maybe you don't care and I should just move on Just one night for you to throw it all away one last fight on the streets of SOHO wasted there, our love affair I hope you like walking back home alone

Turn On A Dime Honey, if you're waiting for someone else to fill you cup you can spin your wheels while you're in that rut with your eyes held shut you're like a lemon on fire Stop your complaining 'cause no one wants to hear you cry 'cause you're one dark cloud in a big blue sky and you wonder why I'm laughing all the while 'Cause one of these days you're gonna pull out of the rut you're gonna be fine, just fine, just fine and you and me, babe, we're gonna live after the cut because love can turn on a dime Honey, fire your finest, 'cause I was never taught to fight but I'll do it wrong until I get it right and I'll go all night what ever makes you smile So let's dance, your Highness oh, let that anger move your feet and let my rhythm make your beat complete when you feel that heat don't let it drive you wild 'Cause one of these days you're gonna pull out of the rut you're gonna be fine, just fine, just fine and you and me, babe, we're gonna live after the cut because love can turn on a dime

A Whisper in the Background I try to keep it down but these walls are like paper I can hear a TV through the floor I hear every sound from my lovely neighbors but I don't want to hear them anymore All the while my head's been spinning brought me to my knees here I am with my hands on my head I beg for quiet, please but it's always there just a whisper in the background I can't turn my head down I can't turn my head down I still hear it I still hear it Oh, the rain it falls to my head on a sound wave and turns my skylight into a drum I beat-beat-beat my way through a night of no sleep I can't keep trying to ride the gain until the night fades into day All the while my head's been spinning brought me to my knees here I am with my hands on my head I beg for quiet, please but it's always there just a whisper in the background I can't turn my head down I can't turn my head down I still hear it I still hear it I still hear it I still hear it

Cut and Run Teenage mother bringing home the bread and butter in a myriad of shady ways because a boy, named Ben, brought a bitter end to a life-long dream of the stage she was a southern belle and the boy meant well but he left her in a fit of rage now it's a big bad world for a small town girl just trying to earn an honest wage and baby says She don't mind the dirty looks and she won't tell you her real name she's not afraid to bait the hook she's a product of a hustle cut and run before you put a young girl to shame Holly-roller-daddy's her controller, sewing evil in her heart he's a big man too, with a small world-view fucking with her from the start well, I confess, she's a real hot mess but baby ain't nobody's fool although she can't afford to even praise the Lord 'cause faith is such a heavy tool and baby says She don't mind the dirty looks and she won't tell you her real name she's not afraid to bait the hook she's a product of a hustle cut and run before you put a young girl to shame oh, it's a God-damn shame
