Bad for Business
03:28
|
|||
|
She got the red fur on
She's leather bound
In your neighborhood
She's coming for ya
Sitting by yourself
Like a perfect target
Lonely heart with no armor
You're a bullseye, baby
And all your friends
They tried to warn ya
You're walking right into a perfect storm and
You'll be riding the blame train back town
If you don't hurry up and slow down
Slow down before you run right in
Slow down before you run right in
Slow down before you run right into trouble
She'll bring you down
Head on, head on, head on collision
By now you know she's bad for business
Before you run right in and she spits you out
Slow down, slow down, slow down
Underneath her spell
Searching for your spine
Such a silly rabbit she's an alligator
She's a Venus flytrap with Medusa's eyes
One look as sharp as a knife
And then she'll leave you lonely
And all your friends
They tried to warn ya
You're walking right into a perfect storm and
You'll be riding the blame train back town
If you don't hurry up and slow down
Head on, head on, head on collision
By now you know she's bad for business
Before you run right in and she spits you out
Slow down, slow down, slow down
Slow down before you run right in
Slow down before you run right in
Slow down before you run right into trouble
She'll bring you down
(instrumental)
Head on, head on, head on collision
By now you know she's bad for business
Before you run right in and she spits you out
Slow down, slow down, slow down

Red Banner
03:41
|
|||
|
I can't say that I didn't see it coming
You got a funny way of showing that you care
Right before you go running
To the dark place that you hide
And I'm not trying to go there
Where were you when I was in denial
You were waving flags now I'm waving mine
I understand with distance how you rigged the fight
But now I must surrender to that red banner waving
Cause now I'm waving mine
You got that red banner waving
And now I'm waving mine mine oooh
You will say most anything
Player of the highest order
Who rewrote the rules
When it comes to being kind
I'm looking over my shoulder
Cause it's only a matter of time
Before you leave me high and dry, high and dry
Where were you when I was in denial
You were waving flags now I'm waving mine
I understand with distance how you rigged the fight
But now I must surrender to that red banner waving
Cause now I'm waving mine
You got that red banner waving
And now I'm waving mine mine oooh
I was disappearing from all your signs
Think I might be color blind, color blind
Where were you when I was in denial
You were waving flags now I'm waving mine
I understand with distance how you rigged the fight
But now I must surrender to that red banner waving
Cause now I'm waving mine
Honey, you got that red banner waving
And now I'm waving mine mine ooooh

Every Single Time
02:28
|
|||
|
Every single time that I go blind
Every single time I throw you a line
And sink just when you start floating
Yeah wait at the bottom of the ocean
While I swallow my pride for the hundredth time
Just like every single time that I go blind
And race like a horse without a finish line
Face my fears at another time
Cause I'm in a rush I'm not waiting in line
Not for something I thought was already mine
You put the veil right over my face
You put the veil right over my
Every single time that I go blind
Every single time that I go blind
Don't know when you'll grow out of this phase
Wait around while you grow out of it
Every single time that I go blind
Every single time that I go blind
And all those times I failed
And tried to see the light
You held your crimson hands
Right over my eyes
Every single time, every single time
Every single time that I go blind
Every single time that I go blind
Every single time, every single time
Every single time, every single time

One Man Masquerade
03:55
|
|||
|
Curtains are closed now
So you can be straight
Were you being honest
That night on the lake
Told me a story
Tried not to bore me
But I could've sworn you lied to my face
La da da da da , La da da da da
La da da da, La da da da
She was a one man masquerade
La da da da da, La dada da da da
La da da da, La da da da
Do me a favor
Give me a break
I know the difference
The real from the fake
Believe in your own lies
Could see it in your eyes
All of the smoke couldn't cover your trace
La da da da da, La dada da da da
La da da da, La da da da
She was a one man masquerade
La da da da da, La dada da da da
La da da da da da da da da
And it's hard enough to be yourself
Why would you try to be anybody else
You can make it if you want to
First you gotta let some things go
Shoot an arrow drop an anchor into the sea
La da da da da, La dada da da da
La da da da, La da da da
She was a one man masquerade
La da da da da, La dada da da da
La da da da da da da da da
She was a one man masquerade oooh oooh
She was a one man masquerade oooh
She was a one man masquerade oooh oooh
She was a one man masquerade oooh
She was a one man masquerade
( Instrumental )
La da da da da, La dada da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Nowadays
05:47
|
|||
|
Nowadays nothing's sacred
Nowadays nothing's built to last
And I remember when
But it's all in the past, nowadays
The ink has faded
Cause nowadays it's all written in the sky
And I remember when
Like two ships in the night, nowadays
It's a crazy, crazy time to be alive be alive be alive
Be alive be alive be alive
It's a crazy, crazy time to be alive be alive be alive
Be alive be alive be alive
Nowadays things are easier
Cause nowadays you don't even have to try
And I remember then
The two sides of that knife nowadays
It's a crazy, crazy time to be alive be alive be alive
Be alive be alive be alive
It's a crazy, crazy time to be alive be alive be alive
Be alive be alive be alive
Nowadays you can't believe your eyes
What a crazy day it's been
What a crazy night
It's a crazy, crazy time to be alive be alive be alive
Be alive be alive be alive
(instrumental outro )

How Many Flowers
03:30
|
|||
|
A little bit of water goes a long way when you're dry
Try a little sunshine if you're cold inside
Just another funny way to keep you up at night
Counting the hours
How many flowers had to grow there
Before you knew it was your garden
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
You could make a moment any minute passing by
Or you could build a wasteland build it to the sky
Just another funny thing to keep you up at night
Counting the hours
How many flowers had to grow there
Before you knew it was your garden
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
So what's it gonna take
Some rose colored lenses
Til you see something other than gray skies
As vines grow up your wall
But how many flowers
How many flowers
How many flowers had to grow there
Before you knew it was your garden baby
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Before you knew it was yours
Counting the hours how many flowers
How many flowers had to grow there
Before you knew it was your garden baby
(Instrumental)
A little bit of water goes a long way when you're dry
Try a little sunshine if you're cold inside
Just another funny thing to keep you up at night
Counting the hours

Mind over Body
05:04
|
|||
|
Your string of failed romances
Tied to your winning streak
Inside your mind she dances around you
I slay I play I pray each day
in hopes I find
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind
Heart over mind
Gold chain of second chances
Weighing down your red balloon
It’s no surprise the whole world has a view
At least you tried
The truth is on your side
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind
Heart over mind
And I'll never be the one to say I told you so
And I hate to say I knew it all along
That she would be the one to run your off your road
But the light of love will carry you home
Her ride has left you stranded
Bittersweet and baby blue
Her wave goodbye came crashing down on you
It’s all the same
You can’t control the tide
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind
Heart over mind
(Instrumental)
oooooh ooooh
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind
Mind over body heart over mind

Gone Too Soon
03:03
|
|||
|
Could've been better when you were still around
If you could see me now I think you would be proud
Am I as good as you are gone
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
Should've owned up faster
Instead of starting fights
I'd say that I was wrong and that you were right
And you'd forgive me
But I can't apologize not even one more time
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
Yeah you're out of sight
But you'll never be out of my mind
Gone too soon
Did you go where the smoke goes
When it disappears
Maybe it's paradise
So swiftly you were on your flight
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
Yeah you're out of sight
But you'll never be out of my mind
Gone too soon
Gone too soon

Concrete Angels
04:41
|
|||
|
We all wanna be bulletproof
But we're building walls with no roofs
And there's no foundation there
Inside it's pouring down
Like it did the last time
When we made it our pastime
To shut things out
If you go around, if you go around
Making concrete angels, concrete angels
You'll wind up set in stone
Let me show you what you're made of
Then we'll know what we're all so afraid of
If I were you I'd be trying to live it down
Instead of bringing it up again
Like you did the last time
When you made it your pastime
To shut me out
If you go around, if you go around
Making concrete angels, concrete angels
You'll wind up set in stone
Nothing's certain all is fine
It's only when I get the feeling that
I belong to a war of extremes
Running away from the devil in me
If you go around, if you go around
Making concrete angels, concrete angels, concrete angels
You'll wind up set in stone oooh

Don't Tread on Me
03:43
|
|||
|
If at first it might seem
I'm harder than anyone you care to know
Spend a little time and get a feel for me
You'll see that I'm softer than snow
I know there's got to be a way
A way to win you over I just can't seem to find
Maybe I should've been kinder
Or maybe I was too kind
That's okay
You do your thing
I'll do mine
Just as long as you
Don't tread on me, baby
Don't tread on me, darling
Don't tread on me
Cause one day you just might need me
Maybe I'm not your cup of tea
We don't see eye to eye as far as I can see
And every time I warm up to you
You're so cold I could freeze freeze freeze
But that's okay
You do your thing
I'll do mine
Just as long as you
Don't tread on me, baby
Don't tread on me, darlin
Don't tread on me
Cause one day you just might need me babe
You can do your thing
And I can do mine
Just don't step on me
See you swerving into my lane baby
I wish you had some courtesy '
Don't tread on me, baby
Don't tread on me, darlin
Don't tread on me
Cause one day you just might need me baby
Don't tread on me, baby
Don't tread on me darlin
Don't , don't, don't you ever tread on me
Cause one day you just might need me babe
