Billy Boy 00:49
So he lights up his blunt and he calls out my name He texts Dave Klym and says "I'm on the train" I am the Billy Boy, I am the Billy Boy, I am the Billy Boy I am your man I am the Billy Boy, I am the Billy Boy, I am the Billy

Soul searched for so long Words you said, I'll hang on I wonder how It went wrong I wonder how It went wrong Waves will roll long and strong Tide comes in, then its gone I wonder how It went wrong I wonder how It went wrong Hold on, hold on Hold on While I wonder how It went wrong

Two Funerals 04:11
I run like the raindrops On the window pane of our old cafe Where every poem still rattles While your shadow's on a table This is just a bus flying forward through the sky We're all on board it together, there's no time to wonder why Might be a blind monkey driving, might be a smooth dolphin pushing Keep on checking the rear-view, all depends on who's looking I've been chasing the rabbit, force whatever I'm finding We were in love with each other, we were in love with the timing I've been wandering around, I'll find whoever is drumming Keep on telling myself, some surprise is coming I walk down the same street that we stood on like statues in the summer heat While your mama and daddy, brother and sister, are breaking bread with your so-called man This is just a bus flying forward through the sky There's no emblem on the shuttle there's no time to wonder why Might be a blind monkey driving, might be a smooth dolphin pushing, keep a crack in the rear-view, all depends on who's cooking I've been blowing your ashes through a hole in the moon, we were in love with each other, we were in love with the truth, I've been wandering around, I'll catch whoever's been drumming Keep on telling myself some surprise is coming

I'm hanging out with the sheriff's daughter Somebody's Mercedes Benz She sees the world like a certain fire I know its all going to end You're looking like a true criminal As you come through the door I've seen your face on the movie screen I've seen your face on the floor I'm not going to relate to something I don't want to believe in anymore I'm not going to get carried away Scrambling around Impossible Mind Holding on to you I'm running laps through the endless shooting stars Got you wrapped in my arms Too much caffeine Not enough kerosene To burn the whole city down I'm not going to create for something I don't want to believe in anymore I'm not going to waste my time Scrambling around

Anyway now To go back home To that worn out place and feeling To wake up now Under your eyes To wake up beneath your ceiling Any day now To bring back The motivation to deliver Sense of starving For salvation Sense of longing Deeper then the world that we gave away Heres another reason Before you take a ride on that airplane Heres another reason Anyway now To go back towards All the empty looks and feelings That you had there In your soft stare Holding on to save ourselves from All the ways That they make us pay For the ones we love We designed it anyway Deeper then the world that we gave away Heres another reason Before you take a ride on that airplane Heres another reason Found out you were right All I want to say is giving you a reason Don't leave it all behind Don't you run away Here's another reason Anyway now To go back home To that worn out place and feeling To wake up now Under your skin To wake up beneath your ceiling Bigger than the life that we gave away Heres another reason Before you take a ride on that airplane Heres another reason Found out you were right All I want to say is giving you a reason Don't leave me high and dry Don't you run away Heres another reason
