I don't know where all those years went, or how my world got small
Don't know why we kept it together   just to watch it fall
How many times did I stand there  As you gathered for a feast
How many nights have I waited For a love that gave the least
It’s the one you left behind

Vanity is your only friend that struggles just to breathe
Insecurity as a means to end, a room you try to leave

But now....you say you’ve come back stronger  
Now… you say that this time is different
Now…. you will not make the same mistake. 
The same mistake The same mistake 
It’s the one you left behind

This will be the last dance  This will be goodbye
This will be the last dance  There are roses in my eyes

Loneliness is a weight that stains remains atop your chest.
Loneliness is a found possession, can't leave it like the rest. 
It’s the one you left behind.

How many nights have I sat alone,
Drunk and stoned drunk and stoned?

The One You Left Behind

Stuck in the bottom of the ocean, Stuck in the bottom of the ocean.
Just trying to find the sun. Feeling you might be the only one.

When you live in the bottom of the ocean,
You can hear the rumble of the other waves.
The crash is the sound of freedom,
You pray for the rumble of freedom, but then you find
It’s cold, wet and dark, as you try to make a spark.
Yeah, its cold, wet and dark…. yet you try to make a spark.

You tell yourself that this could be the day you will breath
When everything is good enough.

But there's a hole in your heart it don't matter what you got
You can’t find what you're looking for, but you know what this is not.
Not the vision you’ve been searching for 
For all of your life. For all of your life. All life long.

But you get up early in the morning
You’re up and you’re working hard anyway 
Making your way through the darkness, 
Promise yourself that this might be the day that the light goes on.

Yet you wanna believe in something, But all you can see is nothing.
When you wanna believe in something, But all you can see is nothing.
It’s cold, wet and dark, yet you try to make a spark.
Yeah it’s cold, wet and dark, still you try to make a spark.
You can’t see what you're after but you know what this is not.

Bottom of the Ocean

Standing on the beach watch the sun go down,
On the coast of Nicaragua wanna head into town.
We know that Little Harry is only nine,
But he saw so excited when we asked him to drive.

A nine year old driving is not ideal,
But his hands were really steady behind the wheel.
We needed more cervezas, a short detour,
Then he drove us out to dinner in San Juan del sur.

Go Little Harry You driving us ‘round tonight
One foot is on the break one is on the gas
We call Little Harry, our taxi cab that night
On our way, yeah

My memory was fuzzy from that point on,
My cup was never empty all night long.
Still at the cantina at half past dawn,
No sign of Little Harry don't know where he’s gone.

They say that fourth graders will sometime roam,
Little Harry drove himself all the way back home.
Went to school in the morning he did confess,
Picked us up, on his way, from a history test.

Go Little Harry you driving to school today, today, yeah
Oh Little Harry if your friends could see you now hell yeah
They’d ask Little Harry to drive them around tonight 
On his way, yeah

Go Little Harry You’re driving along, tonight, tonight yeah
Oh Little Harry the cops won’t catch you now hell no
They call Little Harry el conductor del sol 
On his way, yeah

Little Harry

I know you love to blast the music, as the sun goes down.
The bass goes right inside my body, circles thru this town
Reverberates across the water, like I'm about to drown

I used to have my fun, used to dancing all night long.
We used to keep the neighbors up, ignore their complaining
Now things are different and this is not enjoyable,
or partially sustain able, I wish I were you.

You are young, but we are not in a trailer park
When all night long, you are playing loud music
My wife can't sleep, and you woke up the baby
It’s hard to see, the shoe on the other foot.
I used to say, this would never be me, my god.

It doesn't feel so long ago that she would dance with me
But now all I can show the world  the face of jealousy

I used to have my fun, used to dancing all night long.
We used to keep the neighbors up, ignore their complaining
Now things are different and this is not enjoyable,
tho you may feel invincible, I wish I were you.

Go to sleep, I know it’s your birthday but
All night long, you are playing loud music
My wife can't sleep, and you woke up the baby
I used to say this would never be me, my god.

I Used To Say This Could Never Be Me

I used to stay up all night long, used to lay in bed all day.
I used to want to drink ‘til I fell down, 
Tryin’ to chase the blues away.
Yeah, I made it through the brink of life, 
and now I know just what I need. 
Will you grow old with me?

I used to fill my days as the life of the party,
Didn't care who I let in.
Because I didn't want to be on my own,
and let a lonely heart set in.
Then I went through Sausalito, found my libido, 
incognito in the candlelight. 
Dancing with the devil, drank like a fish, 
Till you came over to spend the night
Yeah, I made it to the edge of the universe, 
And then I found the place to be. Will you grow old with me?

Used to wish I’d find a little love, thought I’d wasted my supply
But once I got to know you in an intimate way… I knew
I want you with me till I die.
Yeah I went through Sausalito, pump up my libido, 
incognito like a ghost on a tour.  
Dancing with the devil, drank like a fish, 
until I found myself at your door.
Yeah, I made it to the edge of the universe, 
just to find the love I need. Will you grow old with me?
Will you grow old with me?

Grow Old With Me

All day long I scream and shout’n
How you done me wrong no doubt about it
All my friends say change the subject
So I run the story thru my head thru my head 
I can't let u go can't let u go (2x)

Our conversations were neurotic
I felt the holes in your logic
But your touch was a narcotic
And your body so erotic, exotic
So I can't walk away can't walk away (2x)

Ohh amor, you’re all I got tonight

I’m so glad we met for coffee
I am happy you would see me
With a little love and understanding
I know that we can work it out, work things out
Cuz I won't hold u I won't hold u down
But I can ease your pain, can ease your pain

Ohh amor, you’re all I got tonight

Oh Amor

Sally was no fool, played by her own rules
the product of the new England finishing schools
Sally had a plan, only she could understand
Got married at a young age to an older man

Sally was a brat, her father made her like that
He wasn’t around to spend much time when sally was a girl
She cried most every night, was often looking for a fight
Sally came to see her husband in that same light

Diamonds in her eyes, words with no replies
It wasn’t much surprise to us when sally left this town
Shadows in her heart She thought before she starts
Tear her life apart cuz Sally's left this town (2X) 
Sally’s left, yeah Sally’s left this town

She was looking for a friend, a kindly ear to bend
On the wedding day of one of Sally’s closest friends
And she spoke for a long while, with a man who made her smile
Made love to him that night in a most emphatic style.
And she never felt more free, yeah she felt a victory
When this charming man showed her how fun a night could be

Diamonds in her eyes, spinning out the lies
And nervous alibis each time that Sally left this town
Shadows in her heart Don’t think before she starts
Tear her life apart cuz Sally's left this town (2X) 
Sally’s left, yeah Sally’s left this town

Sally made her way back home with a story never told
And a dalliance that left her spirit  feeling bold
Sally gained a friend, she would do it all again
They'd meet up every Thursday night at half past ten

Diamonds in her eyes, spinning out the lies
And nervous alibis each time that Sally left this town
Shadows in her heart Don’t think before she starts
Tear her life apart as we know Sally's left this town
Husband never knew, when Sally’s on the move
We know he won’t approve, if he know Sally left this town, she left this town, 
but Sally meant to tell me, yeah Sally wants to laugh and call again

When Sally Left

We all need to get away, from the circus of malaise
You got drinks, you got drugs, religion, and video games
I think I found a better way
Welcome to the underground music show. 

When you lost you got no one to lead, When you’re looking for substance, got a soul to feed
When your only interactions, all communications are thru a screen
Come on in we got what you need.
Welcome to the underground music show.

We’ve come to break thru walls of steel, we’ve come to claim a mass appeal
We painted pictures with a violin to make you feel – gotta get on your knees 
and kneel, kneel, kneel
Welcome to the underground music show.


Feels like 1974 on repeat, with the outsiders, the freaks and the suburban elite
This time around, I think they just might/may succeed
When they come together underneath

Welcome to the underground music show.

The Underground Music Show

Long is the night the night, Long is the 99, come closer.

It felt like a dream all that I needed 
Love in repeat, won’t be defeated
Long is the night of your assistance 
I will double down on your existence
All my life I’d been a fish that’s washed ashore
I’d been waiting all my life for the one who could be more.

Waif.  I wanna put my arms around you
Wanna feel my hands on your hips 
Wanna hold you like I did that first time
When I spent the night with you

Come little light, see how you shine.
Come little light are you still mine now.
First night you shined all thru the night.
next morning came, did you change your mind now.
I can't stop and rest cuz I'm too nervous.
I can’t catch my breath cuz I’m too nervous.
Tonight’s the night, I'm gonna tell you how I feel.
Tonight, tonight will be a symphony of light.

Waif.  I’m gonna put my arms around you.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
Gonna feel my hands on your hips.
Gonna hold you like I did that first night,
When I put my kiss on your lips.
Yeah I wanna feel your breath on my body
Ain’t nothing I won’t do.
To feel you like I did that first time.
When I spent the night with you, the night with you.

Like We Just Met

Every night she goes to sleep without complaining
Break out the wine, turn down the light, turn up the music.
We do not care about the noise she will sleep thru it, 
But get ready for dawn when all we can hear is…  
Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Good morning, good morning, good morning.

I only care about tonight…. when the loves made
Going to work at 8am, is tomorrow's problem
I’m having fun. I'm on the run, until her voice says
Its late, its late, its late. Its late, its late, its late.
Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Good morning, good morning, good morning.

Day after day night after night. 
All for the young, old moves aside. 

We got the drugs, we got the time, all night long, here.
All of my friends came out tonight. Will it be worth it? 
Go your own way the piper paid like the old days.
We’re having fun, we're on the run, till she says
Its late, its late, its late. Its late, its late, its late.
Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Good morning, good morning, good morning.

Bring on the night, I feel alive, we got the time under the moonlight.
Come feel the night, I feel alive, we got some time until the daylight.

Day after day, night after night. 
All for the young, old moves aside
