I took the fun out of London invited her inside I held onto that woman like she was mine. I learned to curse like a citizen She got me hypnotized I changed my religion to fit my crimes. But I'm still alive with nothing to lose I took the fun out of London I got me and you. That and a lottery ticket.

Gravity 04:19
Gravity has kept me down too long. I try to get my feet off the ground but it's the strangest thing I can't cut the strings I'm tied down to the man I'm supposed to be. My life never looked so good than when I fly higher than I should. But in the sky to my mind it's getting harder to find any shred of truth forget the lies from the world of what I can't do. I need a little time to get my life in order. Find me some peace of mind and move across the border. I fall down on my knees and pray that I'm free. I never cry anymore because I'm lost in dreams. I fear the end of the world has caught me while I sleep.

Bag of Bones 02:56
I came here to be alone, turned off the telephone, at four in the morning I lay down this bag of bones. Stare at the ceiling I get the feeling there's no more life in this home since you moved away. I've been away and now I come home to a rainy parade on a dead end road. You took the furniture you took the lights you took the medicine that helps me sleep at night. you left the mirror and the guest room sheets the only interior is me and the wallpaper. I need a home so I think I might lay here alone awake at night with thoughts of my own like a bright night light leading me home to forget this life.

Congrats 07:53
Congratulations, heard it's a girl the reincarnation of a dead lover's world. Who does she look like? What is her name? How does it feel to know you're to blame? Why can't I see her? Why don't you call? I want to meet her I want it all. I won't give up the fight. She is all I've got. One day she'll find me in a newspaper ad: "American Ex-Pat Suomi Dad seeking the daughter he never had." You'll break both our hearts. You'll keep us both apart. American ex-pat Suomi dad wants the life he never had. [Because of what you have done, for one priceless moment in the history of man all the people on this Earth are truly one. This has to be the proudest day of our lives. Because of what you have done, (Here men from the planet Earth first stepped foot upon the Moon) the heavens have become a part of man's world. (He came in peace for all mankind) And as you talk to us from the Sea of Tranquility (One giant leap for mankind) you inspire us to bring peace and tranquility to Earth.]

Fight! 04:32
Fight! Don't let the nightmare get a grip on you. Open your eyes. Starve the darkness that's been eating you. Shine a light on where it's leading you and I can take you home. Smile! All the while you've been ignoring hope it's kept you alive. When you're ready for another dose, just when you think that you need it most I can take you home. Don't stop to think about it don't wait to take the weight off your good days. Don't stop to think about it you don't want to wait til it's too late cause we've got plenty more good days. Let's take you home. Fight! I need you. Hold on tight. Don't stop to think about it don't wait to take the weight off your good days. Don't stop to think about it you know you can always count on me. Don't stop to think about it, we'll get past this passing phase. We've got plenty more good days so lets' take you home. Fight! I need you. Smile! Hold on tight!
