    Heart In A Cage



    I don't feel better when I'm fucking around
    And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground
    So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned'
    Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn.

    The heart beats in its cage.

    I don't want what you want
    I don't feel what you feel
    See, I'm stuck in a city
    But I belong in a field.
    Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left.
    Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone.

    The heart beats in its cage.

    All our friends they're laughing at us
    All of those you loved you mistrust
    Help me, I'm just not quite myself
    Look around, there's no one else left
    I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
    Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
    Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left, left.
    I am sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire

    The heart beats in its cage
    Yes, the heart beats in its cage. ....

    Ize Of The World

    I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
    'cause they'll be try to knock you down in some way
    Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
    How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?

    Your mind would wander and searched for its place in the night
    Your body followed this feeling like following light
    Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
    And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud

    Your sad but you smile
    It's not in your eyes
    Your eyeballs won't change
    It's the muscles around your eyes

    An egg to fertilize
    A pulse to stabilize
    A body to deodorize
    A life to scrutinize
    A child to criticize
    Young adults to modernize
    Citizens to terrorize
    Generations to desensitize

    Your dreams are sweet and obsessed
    And your overworked
    You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked
    How disappointed would D.(ead) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hilosophers)
    Be to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed
    Am I a prisoner to instincts?
    Or do my thoughts just live
    As free and detached
    As boats to the dock?

    Just like when music was born
    And detached from your heart
    Is your free time to free minds
    Or for falling apart?

    Night after night
    You turn out the light
    You don't fall asleep right away
    Are we... are we done?

    A desk to organize
    A product to advertise
    A market to monopolize
    Movie stars you idolize
    Leaders to scandalize
    Enemies to neutralize
    No time to apologize
    Fury to tranquilize
    Weapons to synchronize
    Cities to vapor-i ...

    Hard To Explain

    Was an honest man
    Asked me for the phone
    Tried to take control
    Oh I don't see it that way
    I don't see it that way

    We shared some ideas
    All obsessed with fame
    Says we're all the same
    Oh, I don't see it that way
    I don't see it that way

    Raised in Carolina
    I'm not like that
    Tryin' to remind her
    When we go back

    I missed the last bus
    I'll take the next train
    I'll try, but you see
    It's hard to explain
    I say the right thing
    But act the wrong way
    I like it right here
    But I cannot stay
    I'm watching T.V.
    Forget what I'm told
    Well I am too young
    And they are too old
    The joke is on you
    This place is a zoo
    You're right, it's true

    He said he can't decide
    I shake my head to say
    Everythings just great
    Oh I just can't remember
    I just can't remember

    Raised in Carolina (she says)
    I'm not like that
    Trying to remind her
    When we go back

    I say the right thing
    But act the wrong way
    I like it right here
    But I cannot stay
    I'm watching TV
    Forget what I'm told
    Well, I am too young
    And they are too old
    Oh, man cant you see
    I'm ever so pleased
    Pretend to be nice
    So I can be mean
    I missed the last bus
    I'll take the next train
    I'll try, but you see
    It's hard to explain ...

    Between Love And Hate

    Watched her as she wiped her eyes
    You don't make me sorry
    Now I know a-that you never listen, listen

    Thinking about that high school dance
    Worrying about the finals
    Yes, I know you're feeling lonely
    A-lonely, so lonely

    Never needed anybody
    I never needed anybody
    I never needed anybody
    I never needed nobody
    Don't worry about it honey
    I never needed anybody
    I never needed anybody

    You won't change now, in my room
    Don't stay that long with me, I said I was fine
    This is the second time we lost the war

    She'd be in the kitchen
    I would start the fire
    But those days are gone
    (b)ut you know I can't give up, give up

    He asked, "if I may ask why"
    "When will they get tired?"
    We stayed up all night trying, trying

    Never needed anybody
    I never needed nobody
    I never needed anybody
    I never needed anybody
    Don't worry about it honey
    I never needed anybody
    I never needed anybody

    You won't change now, in my room
    Don't stay that long with me, I said I was fine
    The second time we lost the war ...

    What Ever Happened

    I want to be forgotten,
    and I don't want to be reminded.
    You say "please don't make this harder."
    No, I won't yet.

    I wanna be beside her.
    She wanna be admired.
    You say "please don't make this harder."
    No, I won't yet.

    Oh dear, is it really all true?
    Did they offend us and they want it to sound new?
    Top ten ideas for countdown shows...
    Whose culture is this and does anybody know?
    I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess,"
    But no one comes in and yes, you're alone...

    You don't miss me, I know.

    Oh Tennessee, what did you write?
    I come together in the middle of the night.
    Oh that's an ending that I can't write, 'cause
    I've got you to let me down.

    I want to be forgotten,
    and I don't want to be reminded.
    You say "please don't make this harder."
    No, I won't yet.

    I want to be beside her.

    You Only Live Once

    Some people think they're always right
    Others are quiet and uptight
    Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice (oh-ho)
    Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no)

    Twenty-nine different attributes
    Only seven that you like
    Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho)
    Twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho)

    Oh don't don't don't get out
    So I can't see the sunshine
    I'll be waiting for you, baby
    Cause I'm through
    Sit me down
    Shut me up
    I'll calm down
    And I'll get along with you

    Men don't notice what they got
    Women think of that a lot
    One thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho)
    And neither one requires a plan (I know)

    And countless dire religions, too
    It doesn't matter which to choose (oh no)
    One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho)
    I guess I've tried and I refuse (oh-ho)

    Oh don't don't don't get out
    So I can't see the sunshine
    I'll be waiting for you, baby
    Cause I'm through
    Sit me down
    Shut me up
    I'll calm down
    And I'll get along with you
    Alright

    Shut me up
    Shut me up
    And I'll get along with you

    Everybody sees me
    But it's not that easy
    Standing in the light field
    Standing in the light field
    Waiting for some action
    Waiting for some action
    No but why won't you come over here.

    Why won't you come over here?!
    We got a city to love!
    Why won't you come over here?!
    We got a city to love!.

    Old time grudges
    Will die so slowly
    I know you miss the way I saw you.

    And cold
    Yes I'm cold
    You're so cold
    You're so cold.

    Nobody can see me
    Everything is too easy
    Standing in the light field
    Standing in the light field
    Waiting for some actress
    Waiting for some actress
    To say why won't you come over here.

    Why won't you come over here?!
    We got a city to love!
    Why won't you come over here?!
    We got a city to love!.

    Old time love song
    Will die so swiftly.

    You never trust me,
    For a while it was nice, but it's time to say goodbye...

    Oh cold
    You're so cold
    You're so cold
    You're so cold.

    No no no, cold
    You're so cold
    You're so cold
    You're so cold.

    Oh no no no no, cold
    You're so cold
    You're so cold
    You're so cold...

    Someday


    In many ways they'll miss the good old days
    Someday, someday
    Yeah it hurts to say but I want you to stay
    Sometimes, sometimes
    When we were young oh man did we have fun
    Always, always
    Promises they break before they're made
    Sometimes, sometimes

    Oh, My ex says I'm lacking in depth
    I will do my best
    You say you wanna stay by my side
    Darling your head's not right
    I see alone we stand together we fall apart
    Yeah, I think I'll be alright
    I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
    Tables they turn sometimes.
    Oh someday.
    I ain't wasting no more time.

    Trying, trying.

    And now my fears, they come to me in threes
    So I, sometimes
    They fade my friend, he says the strangest things
    I find, sometimes

    Oh, My ex says I'm lacking in depth
    Say I will try my best
    You say you wanna stay by my side
    Darling your head's not right
    I see alone we stand together we fall apart
    Yeah, I think I'll be alright
    I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
    Tables they turn sometimes.
    Oh someday

    I ain't wasting no more time ...

    He seemed impressed by the way you came in
    "Tell us a story I know you're not boring"

    I was afraid that you would not insist
    "You sound so sleepy just take this, now leave me"

    I said please don't slow me down
    If I'm going too fast
    You're in a strange part of our town

    Yeah, the night's not over
    You're not trying hard enough
    Our lives are changing lanes
    You ran me off the road
    The wait is over
    I'm now taking over
    You're no longer laughing
    I'm not drowning fast enough.

    Now every time that I look at myself
    "I thought I told you this world is not for you"

    The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair
    "You sound so angry just calm down, you found me"

    I said please don't slow me down
    If I'm going too fast
    You're in a strange part of our town

    Yeah, the night's not over
    You're not trying hard enough
    Our lives are changing lanes
    You ran me off the road
    The wait is over

    Is This It


    Can't you see I'm trying, I don't even like it
    I just lie to get to your apartment
    Now I'm staying there just for a while
    I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired

    Is this it
    Is this it
    Is this it

    Said they'd give you anything you ever wanted
    When they lied I knew they were just stable
    Children trying hard not to realise I was sitting right behind

    Dear can't you see, it's them it's not me
    We're not enimies, we just disagree
    If I was like him, all dissing his Pa
    He changes his mind, says I went too far
    We all disagree I think we should disagree, yeah

    Is this it

    The Other Side



    Im tired
    Of everyone
    I know
    Of everyone
    I see
    On the street
    And on TV

    On the other side
    On the other side
    Nobodys waiting for me
    On the other side

    I hate them all
    I hate them all
    I hate myself
    For hating them
    So drink some more
    I love them all
    Ill drink even more
    Ill hate them even more
    Than I did before

    On the other side
    On the other side
    Nobodys waiting for me on the other side

    I remember when you came
    You told me all the same
    Now it seems so far away
    You told me all the same

    Im tired
    Of being
    So judgemental
    Of everyone

    And when I go to sleep
    I will train my head to see
    In my mind is there

    On the other side
    On the other side
    I know whats waiting for me
    On the other side
    On the other side
    I know whats waiting for me
    On the other side...

    15 Minutes

    I was all just a dream, Oh no
    I wish it was real
    All my pets they were there and they smiled
    Take a shit - it was fine

    Everybody so inviting

    They got it in for me I know
    It's not that I don't really love you
    It's just that I don't really know
    The hateful things you think you want to say
    Time will turn them into jokes

    Yes, it was all just a dream, oh, no
    Was it real? I don't know
    I hope so

    Here we go! Can I play? Can I Watch?
    He would like one more night in your life
    I saw worlds they don't stop, they're like us.
    They go fast like a sun that's been shot.

    Everybody at the party
    Should't worry if I'm there
    Everybody at the party
    Should't worry what they wear
    Cause today they talk about us
    And tomorrow they won't care

    This whole life is it a dream? I can't tell
    I got up, then I waved, then I fell
    I recall, you were there with me
    Overjoyed and at peace

    First time around
    Second took so long
    Third time's the charm
    Circle of the fourths
    Five days to rehearse
    Six to make it work
    Seven notes in a scale
    Eight in some countries
    Nine in fancy keys
    Ten years we've been friends
    Eleven seconds to hell
    And of course, twelve major chords....

    The Modern Age

    Up on a hill, here's where we begin
    This little story, long time ago
    Stop to pretend, stop pretending
    It seems this game is simply never ending

    Ah in the sun, sun having fun it's in my blood
    I just can't help it, don't want you here right now
    Let me go
    Let me go go go go go go go go

    Leaving just in time, stayed there for a while
    Rolling in the ocean, trying to catch her eye
    Work hard and say it's easy, do it just to please me
    Tomorrow will be different, so I'll pretend I'm leaving

    I feel so different now, we tried to deviate
    We should learn to stay
    My vision's clearer now but I'm not afraid
    Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze
    I took too many varieties

    Ah in the sun, sun having fun it's in my blood
    I just can't help it, don't want you here right now
    Let me go
    Let me go go go go go go go go

    Leaving just in time, stayed there for a while
    Rolling in the ocean, trying to catch her eye
    Work hard and say it's easy, do it just to please me

    Alone Together

    No choice now, its too late
    Let him go, he gave up
    Dont give up
    Lisa said take time for me
    Dropping him down to his knees
    Oh just go

    Take me away, see Ive got to explain
    Things they are changing such a permanent way
    Life seems unreal, can we go back to your place
    Ah you drink too much, makes me drink just the same

    People try, felt so right
    Giving themselves good advice
    Looking down sometimes felt nice

    He knows its just a fact to kill to survive
    Hes earning dollars when youre giving your life
    Let someone poor soul work 3 hours a day
    The world is over and I dont care coz

    I am with you, now Ive got to explain
    Things they are changing such a permanent way
    Life seems unreal, can we go back to your place
    You drink too much, makes me drink just the same

    On the first time that I met your friends
    A second time I thought it would last
    We all like it a little different...
