(1, 2... 1, 2) Shortcut dot com get me thru this life a little quicker Transport me from the me that's scaring Me Guarantee my credit in the afterlife and after Just drudging thru existence now it seems That I can't do anything I can't be anything at all If I don't go anywhere but here Here in the faraway you seem So very real As twilight fades, stars reveal A shadow of your heart yeah, all right, yeah! Shut my mouth and shudder At the thought that you fell over With that cross that saves me from my schemes Lala, Halala, Ha! Cyber Jesus save me as I'm only growing older And all prescriptions take me from my dreams And I can't do anything I can't be anything at all If I don't go anywhere but here Here in the faraway you seem So very real As twilight fades, stars reveal A shadow of your heart A shadow of your heart You are Holy Save me From myself I can't do anything I can't be anything at all If I don't go anywhere but here Here in the faraway you seem So very real As twlight fades, stars reveal A shadow of your heart Yeah! Wooh! Oh! A shadow of your heart

Moonstruck 04:25
We're all Flustered and well-done Twinkle set, fidget finding melting in the sun We're all Label-wearing walls-high bi-polar babbit-holding, just a tad gun-shy We're all attached to buried wear and tear All attached to trash-prone wear and tear We're all (just a little crazy) Tickled and tied down in yellow fright Lemon eyes inhaling all blue light We're all (just a bit off key) souly holes in search of sight See-saw stricken blind by someone else's light Open eyes will never rest at night Open eyes will never rest at night So I got up and tossed my TV Now channel surfing haunts me in my dreams If I scratch or bite you it's just remnants from a past life when me, a prize fighter, shadow boxing But the world alone will give us our beatings But the world alone will give us our beatings We're all... Just a little crazy We're all... Just a bit off key

If I told you You could carry the moon That you could put it on your back Would you try to? Would you lift it high for all the world to see? Light to all the people Everybody Ride a moonbeam You, with the moon held high You, in a statuesque glow You, but whatever you do Don't let your feelings show You, with a nod and a sigh You. with a weight on your back You, llike a heart attack Let that big thing go

Ash 04:57
Ash Ash Wednesday Make a cross for the lost On your forehead wipe the soot When penitant followers remember a lynching of innocence Yeah, we're fasting now But only until April Somewhat akin to Ramadan Some give up meat But only until sundown and when the sun implodes in all the light from the weary sky It's I and me and we make designs from stars In clouds I see all strange faces in the sky And we agree All the heavens truly are amazing Your design from I and me Aye aye aye aye Ashes, ashes We all fall down Dust to dust The body withers Human rust What do you want to be when you grow up? I want my isolation shattered by your trust And my time is coming It's my coffin cradle It's my line within your frame So take out your film strip Locate my place and name Locate my space insane It's yours, you made it, I think I love it It's I and me and we make designs from stars In clouds I see all strange faces in the sky And we agree All the heavens truly are amazing Your design from I and me I'm inside your picture A snapshot delivered Catch me, catch me Oh, catch me just once Only this way Today It's I and me and we make designs from stars In clouds I see all strange faces in the sky And we agree All the heavens truly are amazing Your design from I and me ....I see strange faces in the sky

Snow White 05:12
Snow White White I wanna be Ultra-brite but not the skin or teeth White I wanna be Dressed in your light, in your royalty Cuz even this city looks pretty covered in a blanket of snow Even this city looks pretty covered in a blanket of snow Grace covers the winter as the cold winds of our lives blow Even this city looks pretty covered in a blanket of snow White I wanna be At the polar end of all your mystery White I wanna be Like the bubble froth in the air of your deepest sea Cuz even this city looks pretty covered in a blanket of snow Even this city looks pretty covered in a blanket of snow Grace covers the winter as the cold winds of our lives blow Even this city looks pretty covered... In snow In snow Let it fall let it fall let it fall let it fall Let your snow fall down on me Let your snow fall fresh on me Oooh, Let it cover, let it cover me Snow

Long Rd. 01:50
Long, Long windy road Long, Long windy road Take, take, take me home Long, Long windy road Long, Long dusty trail It's a long, long dusty trail Got the wind at my back Still to no avail It's a long, long dusty trail
