Hey, you college star, I think you know who you are
You strut down the strip, you live on the flip side
Of everything that you one day will become
And I don’t know what you want but it’s something I’m not
You're such a sweet young thing it’s just a shame that you bought
Into what they’re selling, now there’s no telling where you’ll stop
There’s just no sense in being so intense
Babe, we got no right to feel uptight
You can magnify our every difference
Or we can make real nice, young blood unite
My mother, my father, my sister and brother
We don’t always agree but we got love for each other
Now, everything’s amazing still we’re always just complaining
We gotta stop
But you can dance to this, on that we do agree
So what better possible option could there even be?
There’s just no sense in being so intense
Babe, we got no right to feel uptight
You can magnify our every difference
Or we can make real nice, young blood unite
Yes you can dance to this, on that we do agree
So what better possible option could there even be?
There’s just no sense in being so intense
Babe, we got no right to feel uptight
You can magnify our every difference
Or we can mobilize, young blood unite

We say whatever we please
The wind catches our weightless words like leaves
And in the eye of the storm, is every hollow word
That your lips have ever formed
And I've spoken my peace, are you as unaffected as you seem?
At cruising speed, I leave behind what I don't need
So what's it to you? I'm the one with something to prove
Wake me up when it's over, I'm all out
The sun's up but the hour feels much later
Now every morning is mean, and every night is a lie I don't believe
And I could not care less, it hurts too much to hate the ones that you love best, so I smoke and I drink
And I drink and I smoke and I lose while it sinks
Deeper into my bones, so tell me something I don't know
Wake me up when it's over, I'm all out
The sun's up but the hour feels much later
I got lost at the border between states of sleep and awake
Am I in danger?
I don’t know who to be, there’s something you’ve got
It’s all that I need and I don’t know what to say
Won’t you take it easy on me
Wake me up when it's over, I'm all out
The sun's up but the hour feels much later
I got lost at the border between states of sleep and awake
Am I in danger?
What’s it to you? I’m the one with something to prove

Why bother even trying? Half-truth ain’t really lying
Though he’s crying now, he’ll lead you on
Further from anywhere good
Resist the urge to follow, their motto leaves you hollow
You only live once my dear, for eighty years
So take it slow, don’t you know
Time is the answer, waiting out the cancer
Everything you do comes rolling back to you
Love is the notion, you don’t need a potion
The pain is the growing, that’s how you’ll know it
Time is the answer now, for me and you
Familiar are the faces, who’ll put you through the paces
Promise you’ll keep your guard up and don’t give up one of your own
And I don’t mean to lecture, I know I can’t protect you
I hope you’ll never need this song to carry on
But if you do, I’m telling you
Time is the answer, waiting out the cancer
Feel all you knew come rolling back to you
Love is the notion, you don’t need a potion
The pain is the growing, that’s how you’ll know it
Time is the answer now, for me and you
Time flees irretrievably, where were we?
Aimlessly wondering around

Contraption

So quick my changing mood, well rested attitude
I can’t deny this sinking feeling, I’m having trouble sleeping next to you
So batten down the hatch, the sky is turning black
As your tongue attacks, I’m defenseless
Your claws dug in my back
You’re the deadliest female contraption I have ever known
You’re as cold as ice, clever disguise
As pure as the driven snow
Oh, you done did it to me I must say
You knew what you were doing when you looked my way
You’re the deadliest female contraption I would ever care to know
No I don’t believe it, oh, what a twisted creature
Your perfect facial features belie the missing pieces of your soul
I thought I’d found a keeper but you turned out to be the teacher
Of a lesson in discretion, wrote a broken heart confession
Now I know, so
You’re the deadliest female contraption I have ever known
You’re as cold as ice, clever disguise
As pure as the driven snow
Oh, you done did it to me I must say
You knew what you were doing when you looked my way
You’re the deadliest female contraption I would ever care to know
You’re the deadliest female contraption I have ever known
You’re as cold as ice, clever disguise
As pure as the driven snow
Oh, you done did it to me I must say
You knew what you were doing when you looked my way
You’re the deadliest female contraption I would ever care to know

Sweet Sarah

Wrecked like a ship, broken like a dream
Empty as the net of a desperate hockey team when you left
I wrote a lot of words, I hummed a lot of tunes
I threw ‘em all out ‘cause they were all for you, now you’re gone
And it’s a clear and quiet dawn
Your lies have long since passed away
My eyes have seen the light of day
Sweet Sarah, Sweet Sarah
Your lies have long since passed away
My eyes have seen the light of day
Sweet Sarah, Sweet Sarah
You took me down a notch
I have to admit you star in all my dreams
Dramas I direct from the safety of sleep, I’m impressed
With this evening’s party dress
Your bright eyes shine through a Coca-Cola haze
Our lips intertwine and I’m shot wide awake to recall
I don’t love you at all
Your lies have long since passed away
My eyes have seen the light of day
Sweet Sarah, Sweet Sarah
Your lies have long since passed away
My eyes have seen the light of day
Sweet Sarah, Sweet Sarah
You took me down a notch
Your lies have long since passed away
My eyes have seen the light of day
Sweet Sarah, Sweet Sarah
Your lies have long since passed away
My eyes have seen the light of day
Sweet Sarah, Sweet Sarah
You took me down a notch
