Lyrics:
Rain
Rain is right
Right as rain
Rain is right
Right as rain
Last night you went sleepwalking in the storm
I heard your muddy feet coming in the doorway
Open eyes but blind you were carrying water
And you woke me up with kisses and you went on your way
You left me here with nothing, nothing to say
But thank you for giving me a midnight taste of
Rain is right
Right as rain
Rain is right
Right as rain
I feel like I've been sleeping through my days
You loom larger now that you've gone away
I can hear you whispering hurricanes
And you wake me up with kisses then you go on your way
You leave me here with nothing, nothing to say
But thank you for filling up the ice cube tray with
Rain is right
Right as rain
Rain is right
Right as rain

Hold Me Now

Lyrics:
Hold Me Now
Well I’m feeling kind of down
My whole life is like a frowny-face emoji
And I wish you’d come around
It gets lonely and I need someone to
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
When I heard you were in town
Thought for sure that you would reserve some time for me
But you know you let me down
And there is nobody here one who’s gonna
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
I’m a solitary soul
It’s not easy for me to reach out to people
So it’s hard to let you go
There’s no lover waiting in the wings
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
Well I was busting out while you were busting in
But I don’t think our paths will ever meet again
No way no how
No way no how
Guess you’ve heard I’m moving on
Feeling strong like the bulging bicep emoji
Shield your eyes put down your phone
Lifting off and there is no one who can
Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now

Lyrics:
It's a Cruel, Cruel World
You haven't learned the meaning of regret
Because you haven't opened your eyes yet
And time is going just the right speed
Revealing everything that you need
And I'm not gonna disturb your trance
It's a cruel, cruel world
You'll know it soon enough
Oh yeah
Well time has dealt you an average hand
But you won't settle for nothing
You think he's gonna deal his cards again
Well maybe you're on to something
But I've been waiting and all I've learned
Is it's a cruel, cruel world
You'll know it soon enough
Oh yeah
You never looked behind your treasured dream
Is it hollow like a movie main street?
And if you did you better get on out of town
Maybe then you'll be free
But I'm not gonna point the way
It's a a cruel, cruel world
You'll know it soon enough
Oh yeah
Well you're innocent and so I do believe
You can do whatever you're dreaming
And I hope that you will blossom like a rose
With all your petals gleaming and
I know you will contradict that
It's a cruel, cruel world
You'll know it soon enough
Oh yeah

Vie Vie Vie Vie Vie

Lyrics:
Vie vie vie vie vie
Who's your go-to guy whenever
Your windows are open wide
Whenever your roof becomes the sky
Vie vie vie vie vie
Royal blue and gold becomes you
Until that day it's just burnt umber
These crayons draw the line
Vie vie vie vie vie
Draw inside the lines
Don't tell me
Everything is fine
Don't tell me
You'll never be mine
Don't tell me
Have you seen the possibilities?
You close your eyes before you even see
What there is inside
Vie vie vie vie vie
I'm there for you without a question
Secret love I never mention
It's hidden deep inside
Vie vie vie vie vie
Draw inside the lines
Don't tell me
Everything is fine
Don't tell me
You'll never be mine
Don't tell me

Walking By Twos
02:18

Lyrics:
Walking by twos
We should be walking by twos, by twos
Not alone
Walking alone with the blues
Is no companion
We just keep paying our dues, our dues
And then some
I don't know how we'll get through
Or how this ends up
And there's no way I'm going to lose you
No way I know
No way I'm going to lose this love
And so
Welcome inside I've got room, it's no
Intrusion
Feels like we're cutting right through
This grand illusion
Give me your hand, I love you
There's no confusion
And there's no way I'm going to lose you
No way I know
No way I'm going to lose this love
And so
We should be walking by twos, by twos
Not alone

Monkey Bars

Lyrics:
Monkey Bars
Swing set hide me you can't find me
I won't play your stupid games
We are stars on the monkey bars
And we don't want to know your name
Since you came here you don't play fair
Every day it's all the same
Sandbox rules say goodbye fools
So why don't you just go away?
You're telling jokes that you're not even in on
Jumping rope but you don't have the rhythm
Hopscotch drop what number did you land on?
Bullies cheaters bottom feeders
We can see you miles away
Tell your lies right to my eyes
I've got no time for you today
You're telling jokes that you're not even in on
Jumping rope but you don't have the rhythm
Hopscotch drop what number did you land on?

Honor Bound

Lyrics:
Honor Bound
You can try to find the way back home
Ask for help along the way
But you are honor bound you are honor bound
To share the secret some day
If someone could find the way back home
I think you could be the one
And you are honor bound you are honor bound
To open the gates to everyone
And I don't disturb your solitude
For just any old thing
And I hope what I whisper in your ear
Might some day reach the king
We're so busy living we forget
We are exiles in this land
And you are honor bound you are honor bound
To return us to what we had
We feel how little we have done
Share the burden of regret
But we are honor bound we are honor-bound
To never ever forget
And I don't disturb your solitude
For just any old thing
And I hope what I whisper in your ear
Might some day reach the king

Lyrics:
Black-eyed Susans and Queen Anne's Lace
It took a while to make me smile
And now I can't stop laughing
You cornered me so carefully
I was yours for the asking
I crossed a field on my way here
Shortcut 'cause I couldn't wait
Here's a bouquet of Queen Anne's lace
and black-eyed susans from along the way
All the things I want to say to you just vanish when I see your face
Only thing that I can offer you is Black-eyed susans and Queen Anne's lace
Black-eyed susans and Queen Anne's lace
Which universe do I deserve?
It can't be this one 'cause you're here
But here I am and you're my man
A cosmic joke on you my dear
'Cause you deserve a universe
Where everyone's in love with you
And you're the king of everything
And no one is above you
All the things I want to say to you just vanish when I see your face
Only thing that I can offer you is black-eyed susans and Queen Anne's lace
Black-eyed susans and Queen Anne's lace
Oh what's the use? You are my muse
And I could never doubt you
I still don't see what you see in me
But I'm just lost without you
All the things I want to say to you just vanish when I see your face
Only thing that I can offer you is Black-eyed susans and Queen Anne's lace
Black-eyed susans and Queen Anne's lace
It took a while to make me smile
And now I can't stop laughing

Turning of the Zodiac

Lyrics:
Turning of the Zodiac
What are you looking at?
I was just doing that cause I was bored
Just delete that image and pretend that you don't
Even want me to be yours
Doesn't really bother me
If I don't hit the lottery - welcome to life
In the end Adam's curse will put me in the black hearse
For one final ride
Spinning hearse Cadillac turning of the zodiac
When are you coming back? Hey hey
To turn the zodiac? Hey Hey
You want me off your back? Hey hey
Well is that a fact? Hey hey
I don't think it's fair
That you keep all your love in there, at least give me a look
The universe if contemplating
Ways to make us all awaken
New Age gobbledygook
What are you waiting for?
Time is not forevermore, it sweeps us away
The nations rise and fall but you and I could rule them all
Just three words we must say
Spinning hearse Cadillac turning of the zodiac
When are you coming back? Hey hey
To turn the zodiac? Hey Hey
You want me off your back? Hey hey
Well is that a fact? Hey hey

Anything at All

Lyrics:
Anything at All
I'm circling back to the things that I know
Because the things that life's been showing me are only so-so
And the race to the top is just a reason to die
Before you're in your grave you're a stiff waving goodbye
This is a dead end - I'm taking the wheel
I'm backing up onto the highway so I can feel
Anything at all
Anything at all
I used to know God and I used to know man
I used to think that everyone would someday understand
But the wisdom is gone, now it seems so unreal
I don't know if I'm capable of making you feel
Anything at all
Anything at all
So I'm circling back to the things that I know
Because the things that life's been showing me are only so-so
Anything at all
Anything at all
