Gateway 05:22
I sit and hear the trouble See the lights and sound of confusion And all your words I can recall You made your break There’s not escape And all your words I can’t recall For what it’s worth I’ll walk alone Through all this time I walk alone I’ll make you mine as I walk alone You said we’ve mended fences It’s too soon to abandon trenches And all these words I can’t recall Here is the scene The ends don’t meet And all your words I can’t recall For what it’s worth I’ll walk alone Through all this time I walk alone I’ll make you mine as I walk alone And all we had is time You had to stand in line just to see the stars shine in your eyes And all we had is time You had to stand in line with all your words I can’t recall For what it’s worth I’ll walk alone Through all this time I walk alone I’ll make you mine as I walk alone It’s the end of the gateway It’s the end of the gateway It’s the end of the gateway It’s the end of the gateway

Chloe 04:19
Chloe smiles all the time she wants to be adored She dresses up to the nines and pretends that she is bored Chloe turns and smiles and says that ‘everything’s ok’ I don’t think she knows it now her mind has gone astray She’s a loon But she’ll kiss my head Chloe’s been a party girl since she was just fifteen She walks around in wigs and stuff to be sure that she is seen She’s a loon She’ll kiss my head Chloe opens up her sky she sings a jaded lullaby And wants to be like me and you who say goodbye, goodbye, and fall So far down, so far down, all over you Chloe has her hair dyed red she lays upon a river bed With all her thoughts that kick and scream You’ll fall so far down, so far down, all over you Chloe’s been a party girl since she was just fifteen She walks around in wigs and stuff to be sure that she is seen

Gone Blind 04:54
This old man takes me by the hand Takes me to the promised land at dawn Between a rock and a hard place she waits for me to come I made a pact with the devil and his dizzy son So long ago…. I sit and stare into the sun but sometimes it’s alright I slip and slide until your mine, all the while I hold up signs Take you to a distant place and all the way I hear you say About the burning in your eyes We’re so tired. You’ve gone blind. She puts flowers on my window sill At any moment she’ll have that thrill she craves She shakes the dust out of her shoes And writes her notes and sings her tunes So softly I sit and stare into the sun but sometimes it’s alright I slip and slide until your mine, all the while I hold up signs Take you to a distant place and all the way I hear you say About the burning in your eyes We’re so tired. You’ve gone blind. Between a rock and a hard place she waits for me to come I made a pact with the devil and his dizzy son I sit and stare into the sun but sometimes it’s alright I slip and slide until your mine, all the while I hold up signs Take you to a distant place and all the way I hear you say About the burning in your eyes We’re so tired. You’ve gone blind.

Blue Cow 04:37
Take the road to make believe to see all the things you don’t believe Like a world of talking trees that say “hello” and then “goodnight” I don’t believe they’re talking to me but what they’re saying seems alright So I think I’ll stay awhile or at least another night Hey now! Blue Cow! All I say is all I want is you. Hey now! Blue Cow! All I say is all I want is you. I don’t know but I think I’ve known you But I just can’t recognize All the roads are long and winding Run in circles all the time Then they fade, and then they fade away Then they fade, and then they fade away Just like my Blue Cow! Hey now! Blue Cow! All I say is all I want is you. Hey now! Blue Cow! All I say is all I want is you. I don’t think the time has come to recognize All reason has left and gone away Looking through the window to watch the world go past With all the words you said, you’d say You’d say. You would say. All the signs will take me to the corner of nothing and nowhere And the shame, it paints a picture of me Take the road to make believe to see all the things you don’t believe Then they fade, and then they fade away Just like my Blue Cow! Hey now! Blue Cow! All I say is all I want is you. Hey now! Blue Cow! All I say is all I want is you. Hey now! Blue Cow! All I say is all I want is you. Hey now! Blue Cow! All I say is all I want is you.

Face 04:44
There’s an ocean all around you and you shimmer in the sky Left alone, growing cold in sunshine A whisper moves beneath my skin don’t fall on me Round and round and round and round we go We’re still so far, still so far away from home Do you need to make me cry? Will that make it all alright? If I fall into the sea do you think you’ll believe in me? And with every sense of loss, I hate to be the source of Even an ounce of pain running through that pretty face I watched you through the night I’ve gazed into your crystal set eyes It’s such a shame, that you’ll just fade away with time Your imagery was so obscene, don’t fall for me Round and round and round and round we go We’re still so far, still so far away from home Do you need to make me cry? Will that make it all alright? If I fall into the sea do you think you’ll believe in me? And with every sense of loss, I hate to be the source of Even an ounce of pain running through that pretty face Do you need to make me cry? Will that make it all alright? If I fall into the sea do you think you’ll believe in me? And with every sense of loss, I hate to be the source of Even an ounce of pain running through that pretty face Do you need to make me cry? Will that make it all alright? If I fall into the sea do you think you’ll believe in me? And with every sense of loss, I hate to be the source of Even an ounce of pain running through that pretty face

Evangeline 03:39
He’s placed underneath a dimming light He’s been standing there for hours Apologizing for his mind but his sickness is running wild And her memory’s a library It’s sixteen stories high She burns down days and masquerades He retreats into the night. Evangeline is on the scene, she’s got the urge to please (to please) Evangeline, she’s lost in dreams. She lives inside his make believe Evangeline He and she are miles apart, she slips into his brain It’s precursor of his premonition and it hits him like a train Then she stands up tall within a tower, her eyes are made of glass Sneering down on all of this as she watches him go past Evangeline is on the scene, she’s got the urge to please (to please) Evangeline, she’s lost in dreams. She lives inside his make believe Evangeline She retreats into the night, murmuring this song He’s standing all alone, is she really gone? She’s counting all this time, where everything’s alright Will he realize that she’s deep within disguise? Walking through the fields, murmuring his tune Evangeline is on the scene, she’s got the urge to please (to please) Evangeline, she’s lost in dreams. She lives inside his make believe Evangeline lost at sea, it’s never what it seems (it seems) Evangeline is on the scene, she’s got the urge to please (to please) Evangeline, she’s lost in dreams. She lives inside his make believe Evangeline lost at sea, it’s never what it seems (it seems) Evangeline Evangeline Evangeline Evangeline

Blue Light 01:46
Your eyes are a blanket of blue light You’re gone but the scars remain It’s as clear as the devil in daylight The signs are there but they are not the same I’ve only ever wanted the sunshine To entwine me in a seal of faith I only ever wished for you sometimes But I always believed in, always believed in you The line up to heavens a circle But where you’re standing you’ve just been stalled If you want to turn around and come back home I would hope they would show you the way The pathway leading through yesterday Is clouded by a foggy trail As memory begins to fade You are always a part of me I always believed in you. I always believed in you. I always believed in you. (your eyes are a blanket of blue light) I always believed in you. (your eyes are a blanket of blue light) I always believed in you. (your eyes are a blanket of blue light) I always believed in you. (your eyes are a blanket of blue light)

Over You 04:41
The sun will shine like a lost December Driving around in my car The stories being told about you today Make you seem so strange Oh yeah, I am over you Oh yeah, I am over you The hallway leading to your door Is covered in dust and more With all the winds of a hurricane I could not take you away from this place Oh yeah, I am over you Oh yeah, I am over you Nobody wants to be one of a kind Nobody wants to be stuck in a line Nobody wants to have a one track mind Nobody wants to be lost inside you Inside you Nobody wants to be one of a kind Nobody wants to be stuck in a line Nobody wants to have a one track mind Nobody wants to be lost inside you Inside you Oh yeah, I am over you Oh yeah, I am over you
