Shakin' 03:39
A stream of eyes are open wide The sea, the tides of hoping are high And I feel I am alone And I don’t know where to go Come on, come on, Come on, come on, Baby, now No. And a real life is a rogue, But don’t go shakin’ now All I said was wrong, But don’t go shakin’ now Come on, come on, You know, You know, Baby, love. That’s that feeling that I want. Life isn’t Mother shakin’, nuh-uh Life isn’t bored of life, nuh-uh. Life isn’t bored of life. What a way to go. Got a fear and lost my soul. Want you go in, go in, Go in, go in, go in, But you come out, come out, Come on (whoop, whoop, whoop) It’s hard to throw it away Just a shot away My let it go I feel that’s it, what’s wrong?

Even Eyes 04:06
Wait It feels too late These even eyes don't care I'd really like to help you But I can't move on Really like to fake it until I'm gone Really like to help you like lovers do But I won't love you

Good Feeling 03:52
Don't touch your world on your way to the scare Don't talk to anybody living there There's a time, there's a place Think lighter fare Others won't keep you living when they aren't there It's on the way It's all the rage, baby It's on your face Reality can make you- Feel that it's never ending Rain that will never falter Cry on your way to the alter Ask why You pray all day Just to feel like something Isn't what it used to be The same Hey, Good Feeling Can you show me the modern way? Keep me feeling good He is manmade He is a man He's got it mapped out He's got his plan He'll sell his whole soul to the promised land His time bottle Every last drop of sand

Everywhere 03:57
Mmm, there’s a strange thing. I am not prepared. Mmm, and a feeling that no one cares. Over and over, I’ve got people knockin’ at my door There’s no one ever But there’s people coming to my door I'll just sit and wonder While everything is going wrong And I’ll just sit and ponder While everywhere is coming down I gotta see your glow I gotta feel your glow You've got things to know I've got things to show And all the roads grown over Please make it like you again They’re all dead and grown over Yeah, I know you’ll make it like you again Well, everything is going wrong I'll just sit and ponder While everywhere is coming down And I feel a sense of wonder But I won’t have much for long And I feel it taking under I ain’t rooted and the sun is gone

Window 04:28
Where is the Boogie Man? Is it where we- where we- Dropped them bombs? Tell me, What is fear to you, my dear? Can you hear the footsteps? Coming up the way? We’re copasetic. This house ain’t fallin’ down. Do you think they watched us? All throughout the day? We’re copasetic. This house ain’t fallin’ down. Oh, your window in the dark. Everybody’s looking for me, And I don’t even see where to go. Look through my window at the dark. The luminous are curious. Shine their light to find the change at night. The coast is clear, but don’t put down your arms. They’re known to scrap on limbs. Oh, we’ll take it trail by trail, Leaving nothing but a passing glance. There’s far too much to do, And no one will look at you. Lies, lies! We’ve got the eyes, To see you down to the bone. We know you’re curious, no harm to us, But wait, there must be something more. You’ve had us hiding in the darkness floor. You’ve had us hiding in the darkness floor.

Revelry 03:34
When the money says you aren't listening Open your eyes Do you care? When the people say you ain't got no life It serves you right Do you care? I want to explode in revelry I want to let go of everything When the money tells you to feel it Do you feel it? 'Cause I don't When the people tell you to feel it Do you feel it? 'Cause I don't

To the Moon 04:13
Dysfunction She caught me dead in the eye And she said Where are my walls? The walls I used to climb I just slip through I can’t get any higher I think my love is takin’ time It’s taking everything I know Everywhere’s comin’ down! Well, that’s no problem That’s no problem at all We’ll just- We’ll just We’ll just We’ll trim it up and send it to the war We’ll loosen up and shoot it through our veins To our hearts Yeah, baby. We’ll load it up and take it on the road We’ll meet the folks and tell ‘em about home We’ll cast it out and get it to the moon I remember it Not looking at the- At the paper no more At the- At the stations no more, no Now I’m not looking at my- At my neighbor no more I tell ya, he’s over the fence He’s always at my door There’s a way to be he said! I gotta let you know I gotta let you know Oh, I gotta feel your glow I gotta feel your glow Baby, we gotta go To the moon To the moon To the moon
