01. LOUISE

Woke up in my head
Good times never end
With bad back to bend
Close my eyes just in time
Hands that I won't shake
Bones that I can't break
It takes time to change
Fall in line, one more time

Louise, it's me
I'm a dead man walking down your street
Louise, it's me
I'm a dead man walking down your street

Climbing up your walls (I'm not your acrobat)
Diggin' in your holes (I'm not your sewer rat)
Falling down your stairs
Pull my light one more time

Louise, it's me
I'm a dead man walking down your street
Louise, it's me
I'm a dead man walking down your street

Louise, it's me
I'm a dead man walking down your street
Louise, it's me
I'm a dead man walking down your street
Louise, it's me
I'm a dead man walking down your street
Louise, it's me
I'm a dead man walking down your street

It takes time to change



02. WALKING AWAY

You'd explode like an atom bomb
You just take anything you want
Mine is yours but none of yours is mine
Broken backs make an easy climb
Watch them crack as you reach the top
Once it starts it can never stop

Walking away
That's your claim to fame
Nothing to say
Just walking away
Walking away
That's your claim to fame
Nothing to say
Just walking away

Quit the race join the enemy
Back and forth is what you gotta be
Trace your steps form an alibi
Hear the words flow out it little lies
(You'd) be surprised what you can do
When the gun is pointing right at you

Walking away
That's your claim to fame
Nothing to say
Just walking away
Walking away
That's your claim to fame
Nothing to say
Just walking away

Walking away
That's your claim to fame
Nothing to say
Just walking away
Walking away
That's your claim to fame
Nothing to say
Just walking away

Walking away
That's your claim to fame
Nothing to say
Just walking away



03. RUNNING IN PLACE

You're still stranded there
You don't even care
Take the wrong advice
And even take it twice

You don't even try 
It's all in black and white
Your still your mamma's son
Not even number one

Don't try and take it too far
'Cause I won't let you
Don't try and take it apart
'Cause I won't let you
You've seen everything
Still you keep coming back

Don't you go inside
With all your second tries
Why don't you save us all
Have a private fall
Take a friend with you
So he can see it too
'Cause any friend of yours
Can even find the words

Don't try and take it too far
'Cause I won't let you
Don't try and take it apart
'Cause I won't let you
You've seen everything
Still you keep
Still you keep coming back

Days and weeks
Behind me
And right back at the start
Days and weeks
Behind me
And still ain't got that far

Memories
I can't say good-bye to my old friends
Again

Don't try and take it too far
'Cause I won't let you
Don't try and take it apart
'Cause I won't let you
You've seen everything
Still you keep
Still you keep
Coming back

Nothing to say
Going in my way
Future is ocean wide
So you can say good-bye



04. NOA

(Instrumental Interlude)



05. IT'S OK NOW

Sometimes it goes
But never goes away
And when it comes
To nothing I can say
Seems like forever
Forever I will wait
Sometimes it goes
But it never goes away

Who, who and when it comes
The arms of sympathy
Oh, oh
Arms of sympathy

I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
Oh, oh

Sometimes it comes
Now heat up like the sun
I sit and wait
Waits for me to run
Seems like forever
Forever I will wait

Who, who and when it comes
The words like symphonies
Oh, oh
Words like symphonies

And I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
And I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
Oh, oh

Sometimes it goes
But never goes away
Sometimes it goes
But never goes away

Oh, who and when it comes
The words like symphonies
Oh, oh

And I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
And I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
Oh, oh

Ooh, oh

Oh, oh



06. END OF THE LINE

If you're my friend
Stay right by my side
Show me something good at the end of the line

If you're the one
Look into my eyes
Show me something good at the end of the line

I've been walking over
The bridges that burn
You keep talking
But you don't say a word

If you're my friend
Stay right by my side
Show me something good at the end of the line

I've been walking over
The bridges that burn
You keep talking
But you ain't said a word

I don't want to see you with someone else
I don't want to see you alone
Did you heart deceive you
Did you open up, just to let me go

In the end
Will your star still shine
Show me something good at the end of the line

When darkness ends
Will you be my light
Show me something good at the end of the line

I've been walking over
The bridges that burn
You keep talking
But you don't say a word

If you're my friend
Stay right by my side
Show me something good at the end of the line
End of the line



07. YOU DRIVE ME INSANE

(You) Drive me insane
But I like it
I like it like that

I Don't need a sign
'Cause I see it
When I look into your eyes

I can't explain
But it feels good
Feels good to me

You drive me insane
But I like it
I like it like that

This don't mean nothin'
Why does it tear you apart
This don't mean nothin'
Why is it breaking your heart

Don't let the lies
Sometimes
Leave it alone
Don't ask me why
'Cause there's no way
No way to describe

You drive me insane

This don't mean nothin'
Why does it tear you apart
This don't mean nothin'
Why is it breaking your heart

This don't mean nothin'
Why does it tear you apart
This don't mean nothin'
Why is it breaking your heart

This don't mean nothin'
Why does it tear you apart
This don't mean nothin'
Why does it tear you apart



08. WASTED ENERGY

No-one who's gonna say good-bye
No-one in there to be surprised
No-one who's gonna ask you why
Nothing's gonna take it all away

No-one in there to tell you not to
No-one who came along to see it through
No-one who gonna throw a rope for you

When it's all just wasted energy
Ya get one ticket outta here
You don't even have to cry to see

Nothing's gonna take it all away
Nothing's gonna take it all away
For you

Shut the door and lock 'em out
Shove it right back in the face
Let 'em try and work it out

Was it all just wasted energy
Ya get one ticket outta here
Do you really hafta cry to see

Nothing's gonna take it all away
Nothing's gonna take it all away
Nothing's gonna take it all away
Nothing's gonna take it all away
For you



09. GET UP I WANT TO GET DOWN

Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down
Don't wanna be no cynic
Wanna get right in it
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't need a big surprise

It never turn out quite exactly as you planned
You don't always have to try and take the upper hand
If you feel guilty that's OK because I feel guilty too

Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down
I don't want to burn ya
So buddy don't you burn me
I don't want to owe ya
So why don't you give it to me

You've been looking for the enemy for way too long
You can try and keep the balance but you're not that strong
You keep lookin' for a better way of gettin' vile

Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down

Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down

Get up, I want to get down

You've been looking for the enemy for way too long
You can try and keep the balance but you're not that strong
You keep lookin' for a better way of gettin' vile

Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down

Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down
Get up, I want to get down



10. PITIFUL

Mother save me
They keep hanging around
Like clouds
Mother save me
'Cause I can't put it down
Not proud

Take this light offa me
'Cause I don't want you to see
Just how weak
I can be

Mother save me
I'm no good when I'm alone
Alone
Mother save me
Can't pay what I owe
And I stole

Take this light offa me
'Cause I don't want you to see
What this world has done to me

Take this light offa me
'Cause I don't want you to see
Just how weak I can be

Mother save me
There's no where left to hide
Except inside
Mother save me
'Cause this boy's lost his way
Again



11. BETTER YOU THAN ME

Oh no 
There you go again
Maybe we should send you home
Lord knows 
There's nothing you can't buy
Nothin' you can't find
Or own

Murder in your eyes
Of shadows in disguise
It's better you than me
There's no place left to go
Models of our own/home
It's better you than me

Let go
Let us see you try
Let us see you cry
Let go
Hold on
Is that you givin' in
Thought you'd never bend or fold

Murder in your eyes
Of shadows in disguise
It's better you than me
There's no place left to go
Models of our own/home
So better you than me

Better you than me
Better you than me
Better you than me



12. PERFECT DAY

(spoken)
Lemme try it again (that's alright)
Red light fever baby! (alright you're on brother)

(sung)
The perfect day never goes away
Some things get to stay forever
The sun don't shine, but I don't really care
It's just another kind of weather
'Cause when I'm miles away
I'm still next to you
When I'm miles away
I'm still next to you



HALF AS MUCH

Live strong
So no-one can break you, ya hide
Well, So no-one can break you, ya fall
Fly, so you'll never feel that you burn
Bright, no-one can blow you away

If I had a half as much as you
There's not one thing I wouldn't do
If I had a half as much as you
There's not one thing I wouldn't do

Just me see what you're doin'
There's no need to see what you're provin'
Don't leave the jealous contusions are slow
Feed my stomach won't leave me alone

If I had a half as much as you
There's not one thing I wouldn't do
If I had a half as much as you
There's not one thing I wouldn't do

If I had a half as much as you
There's not one thing I wouldn't do
If I had a half as much as you
There's not one thing I wouldn't do

If I had a half this much
If I had a half this much
If I had a half this much as you



LOLLIPOP

Please me
Put your arms around me
Hold those cards so tightly to your chest

Ease me
Please speak softly
Tell me that I'm not like all the rest

'Cause when I'm drivin' in your car
(The) brakes always go out
You say you're sorry then you do it again
You say you're sorry then you do it again

Lose me
Don't ever lose me
Sometimes I get so lost inside my head
Repeating
It keeps repeating
I guess I'll hafta learn to stay the same

'Cause everytime I close your door
I always get locked out
You say you're sorry then you do it again
You say you're sorry then you do it again
I say I'm sorry then I do it again

You say you're sorry then you do it again
You say you're sorry then you do it again
I say I'm sorry then I do it again
You say you're sorry then you do it again
We say we're sorry then we do it again
We say we're sorry then we do it again
