Do you remember when we were perfect
We both believed it was just what it seemed
But our course is set, Upon the Reefs, We’ll never satisfy our needs
We can’t do more, We’ve come apart, We’ll never reach across this sea

Loose links are all we really seemed to tolerate
After a while there’s just no need to pretend
Another breach, Another rend, Another night that never ends
Let’s take it down, Before the point, Where we can’t even be friends

How did we ever get down to this
Back at the start we had one heartbeat, one wish
Now we never even try to share a kiss
No longer looking for any signs we might have missed

But some day you’ll walk away, And find your better place
Some day you’ll live your dreams, And some day nothing 
will be as bad                     As this seems

Stare out the window and try to make a plan
Do we arrest this freefall, fix things up again
Or just accept, With no regret, And walk away from what we had
This Fabric’s torn, There’s nothing more, Can’t help feeling so sad

How did we ever get down to this
Back at the start we had one heartbeat, one wish
Now we never even try to share a kiss
No longer looking for any signs we might have missed

Some day we’ll walk  away, to find a better place
Some day we’ll live our dream, And some day nothing 
Will be as bad                      As this seems

Some Day

If we’re truthful, we know everyone makes the same mistake 
If you try, you can really outrun your Fate, 
Might make you unstable, disabled, 
unable to Raise your head from the table,
See this as a nightmare not a fable, 
You look like you’re grinning
Did you think you were winning? 

We’re walking right through it, 
Like we know what we’re doin, 
But no one is sure and we don’t know what is true 
And what is fluid, 
But things can’t just make sense 
We aren’t in on the secrets
So we must get intent, 
On to learning the pretense, 
Because a powerful offense 
Is the very best defense, 
When you’re fighting with Mister Top Hat.
Mister Top Hat.
Mister Top Hat

Mister Top Hat won’t help you
He needs to keep you as his debtor slave
What’s really needed is your fever
He keeps you walking around in a dull gray haze

The deck is stacked against fair, and Top Hat never gives up a share, 
But we’re going to have to start somewhere, Yeah we are going to have to start somewhere, What better place than right here, while the issues are all so clear 
what better time than right now, While we see we are the fatted cow. 
I’m not making a joke here, But don’t be a joke dear, don’t make the mistake of thinking that we will be invited in. 
We can only break in. 

Mister Top Hat won’t help you
He needs to keep you as his debtor slave 
What’s really needed is your fever
He keeps you marching along in a dull gray haze

Gather brothers and sisters
No more letting them hide these things away
Deep down in the dark woods, 
We’ll order our strengths and plan our play
Bring the battle to his neighborhood
Have to break rules to win the day
 
Look out Mister Top Hat
We’re fighting Mister top hat

Mister Top Hat

Broke out of line
Looked to the side
Brown eyes met with blue

No reason to hide
That look in the eyes
Would never lie to you

You’ve read all the signs
You’ve learned in your life
Let them point for you

The times that you were burned
Are so hard to unlearn
Makes the voice inside your head
Say protect yourself instead
But when your heart says there’s no doubt
Sometimes it all works out
Never let it go




We go through our lives
Chasing desires
Searching someone true

Love catching fire
Burning higher and higher
As you always knew it could

You know what to do
You’ve had all the clues
Now start and follow through

Just let yourself slide
Into this optimistic tide
Feel the ebb and flow
Let go of what you’ve known
Let dark times drift away
Vanquished by this day
Never let it go



Respect and trust, 
Intimate touch,
Celebrating two

Boundaries and space
The give and the take
To make it work for you

Each day you find
How your hearts align
And the path is straight and true

Your love stands beside you
You won’t face things all alone
You can breathe that deep inside
‘til you feel it in your bones
It’s the heart of every love song
Two souls find their home
Never let it go

Never Let It Go

You should have foreseen
You’d wake up in this mud and rain 
Not your first immersion 
And you will always swim away

Now all the wizened souls recede
Who consoled you so emphatically.
They watch you fade off in the night
To seek the boundaries of your life

Always on the run
Life is nothing 
If not thrilling for you
Someday, before you’re broken 
Down and useless 
Heed this message for you
Slowly
Go Slowly

I can only watch you
Like some cold and calculating lover
Who has closed you off now
And gazes from a distance

Always on the run
Life is nothing 
If not thrilling for you
Someday, before you’re broken 
Down and useless 
Heed this message for you
Slowly
Go Slowly

Last night when you told me what you wanted 
Really seemed to break me open
Ripped and plundered, Torn asunder
And left hanging in the breeze made by your passing 
Through my life into those heavy seas
Alone and unprotected, Sun Reflected
In your dazzled eyes

Slowly

Scratched your number off my wall
And I won’t answer when you call
You’re always kidding with me, to throw me off the track
Just pity for me, you move behind my back

Oooooo you never let your guard down
Ooooooo I’m tired of wearing my frown
Cry out in anger
Cry out in anger
Oooo it’s driving me crazy
Driving me crazy

Not a dream
I really thought it was true
But I was just a kid and you were so cool
The Big City and me, were sure a little mismatched
But it’s cripplin’ me that everything was an act

Oooooo my love’s run right down
Oooooo I’ve started thinking we won’t last that long
Cry out in anger
Cry out in anger

Our tears aren’t falling any more
If we don’t need each other, let’s close the door
There are only victims here, and since it’s come to that
I know we both can see, we’ll never get our love back

Ooooo so sad we ran right down
Ooooo we always thought our love was oh so strong
Cry out in anger
Cry out in anger
It’s driving me crazy
Driving me crazy
Driving me crazy
Driving me crazy

Break Again, (Driving Me Crazy)

Wish Dream Pray

Used to think
The biggest goals were out of reach
Far too high to climb

Seems to me
I never had things very right
That I was driving blind

Woke from the dream
I sat up straight and rubbed my eyes
And it came to light

That what I’d need
To feel fulfillment here inside
Is to leave some good behind

I want no mystery
When people come to think of me 
Not just some happy guy

Part of the key
Make some useful sacrifice
Leave some good behind

Leave Some Good Behind

Baby 
I know it hurt you
That night I strayed away
And you can’t get it out of your mind
‘cause we know I said I’d stay

You opened up your heart to me 
Like an angel from above
You opened up my eyes to see
What it means to be loved

Now I Watch the tears fall from your eyes
I’ve made you think my love is a lie

Baby 
I know I lied to you
Please give me one more chance
I know I’ve made a bad mistake
But don’t break all that we have

Why did I lie to you?
I just can not explain
But this guilt that I am feeling
Is driving me to beg

I could never be anything without you
I take my measure in your eyes

Baby 
You think it’s over now
You’re going live your life instead
And you can never see me
As someone to trust again

I was wrong then
And I know I might have lost
But if you will take back again
I’ll make it up any cost

I don’t want to be anything but with you
I take my measure in your eyes

And I will never ever do you wrong again

I Hurt You

It doesn’t make sense, It doesn’t have to I know
I saw you standing there you burned a hole in my soul

Across the room you just flashed your eyes at me
We didn’t have to speak, More like telepathy

Those tiny red pants, flowers in your hair
Just not the kind of girl I ever saw in there

You turned your back to me, But not to hide
To show that line, Where your cheek meets your thigh

Ooooo You’re  addicting, addicting
Ooooo I’m addicted, completely

I took my chances, walked right up to you
Could be a dream night, or just me as a fool

You saw me com-ming, you could have turned your hip
But you slid over and made a place I could sit

No loss for words here, no awkward silences
Right to the point with, No excess kindnesses

That’s what I love about you, that’s what you love about me
No need to mess with all that modern kind of mystery


Ooooo You’re addicting, addicting
Ooooo I’m addicted, completely

I wasn’t looking for you, But you sure found me
And once you had me caught, Your smile is all I need

Ten thousand trips around our little star together
I want to stay with you, No matter what I weather

When I get broke down, and can’t get going no more
You give me all your love and I know what to live for

I’ll build my life around you, I know that’s what I should do
Don’t want to end this spell, don’t want some kind of breakthrough
Ooooo You’re addicting, addicting
Ooooo I’m addicted, completely
Ooooo You’re addicting, addicting
Ooooo I’m addicted, completely

You're Addicting

I watch you walk away
I never thought it would come this fast
But once you learned your way
I knew you’d never need to look back
As long as I remember how your arms felt around me, I’m ok

Sometimes I’m looking for myself
I always find me in your eyes
And the map here in my heart is yours
Every twist and turn
You choose the path I’ll always say that it’s ok, let’s go your way

How do you build me up this way?
I’m unfettered and set free
From things I can not change
I often pull myself right down
My heart dragging on the ground
But you turn me around

You’re my  blue sky
Oh My Blue sky. My Blue sky
You’re my blue sky
And my sunny day
My sunny day
All my sunny days

And I forget my faults
In your sweet embrace
I can close my eyes 
and the world just drifts away
And leaves us on the shore of this tranquil sea to stand and watch as the light fades

How do you build me up this way?
I’m unfettered and set free
From things I can not change
I often pull myself right down
My heart dragging on the ground
But you turn me around

Your my Blue Sky
Oh My Blue sky. My Blue Sky
You’re my blue sky
And my sunny day
My sunny day
All my sunny days
