False Spring

When they boarded the private plane
When the boys in Houston said
"All systems are go"
They set themselves against the moon
Knowing full well what it might do
There was an icy glare
Till rocket fuel inflamed the air
Florida's change of season is the beholder's eye
And Florida had it's reasons for setting our hopes sky high
Panhandle warming, another January morning
The shuttle reincarnate is a road
Now westward the barefoot artist makes his way
Each thing he sees he calls by its name
A screaming comes across the sky
Mistook the climate for the weather's turns
Another case of the dreamer's disease
Should a fine day break on God's green earth
Who else but dreamers will believe?
In the headlights' glare
One last gulp sacred air
In Florida, winters seem to wear spring's disguise
And Florida is the reason that the best of us have died

There's a little bit of springtime in the back of my mind
Remembers when there was a time when we danced and we laughed
Spent some time drinking wine
And some where in there is a little child
Without a doubt that with every cloud, a silver line is worn
And everything is new
And everything is clean
And everything is free
And there were still so many things to see
So many things
So many things left to be
One small drop in the middle of a big sea
Of high and mighty things
Fascination grows larger than life
Your brand new appetite
As though we'd inventived it
And we dance
Theres a little but of spring time in the back of mind
Remembers things perhaps as they should have been
Rather than the lies, rather than the cruelty
That sometimes we were guilty of
As everybody knows, we were only young
And really couldn't have known
We were very young
But its nice to know that theres a place to go
Theres still so many things left to say
You're a drop in the middle of a big sea
Of high and mighty things
Your facsination grows larger than life
Your brand new appetite
And that spring time in my mind and I'd rather be alive
As though we'd invented it
And we danced
It could be the longest time
And i'll remember it
We don't know what's in store
When we laugh

Where I Was From
02:46

My voluntary exile
Just like the three denials:
Came before the break of day
Where I was from
That’s how unconditional love was repaid
The familiar and the serene
Couldn’t compete with
The billion other me’s
On glowing screens
In wish-fulfilling scenes
So soon the moment came
I knew I’d leave
Where I was from
I learned about the sentimental type
I learned what becomes of those
Who can't accept that their innocence has died
Where I was from
The accents are strange
Where I was from
They’re set in their ways
Where I was from
Roam the ghosts of my life
Where I was from
Is where I will die
Who will lead me back
To the ceremony of innocence
To what it was, and what it meant
Who will lead me?

A Separation
03:45

|

It's just moment in time
It was never meant to last
Just because we're in a golden age don't mean it won't pass The world as it is or as we it want to be?
Anticipation and nostalgia alternating for eternity
Yeah, face the facts
No preparation could prevent what's changed
There's no turning back
A separation: who's to say if it's too late?
Is it too late?
Some will spend their lives dwelling on the glory days
"Easy come, easy go" that's what they say
Some spend their lives a step ahead of their dreams
Running 'round in circles, running eternally
It's a simple fact Jack
There's no going back

Here's a glue guy, a performance god
A makeshift shrine, or newly lain sod
Hardly even trying, gives the nod
I sure hope I'm not the type to dwell
Hope I'm a fast healer, fast as hell
Heaven is a better place today
Because of this, but the world is just not the same
If and when you get into the end zone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't blame, don't say people lose people all the time any more
A toonie to the busker
And a husky, "keep it coming" under my breath
But then said, "Though if you wouldn't mind
Less crying and more trying"
More trying and less crying
I'm not the type to dwell
I'm a fast healer, fast as hell
Heaven is a better place today
Because of this, but the world is just not the same
Oh if and
If and when you get into the end zone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't blame, but don't say people lose people all the time any more
Don't say people lose people all the time any more
If and when you get into that end zone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't change, but don't say people lose people all the time any more
It's just not the same
Because of this
It's not the same
Heaven is a better place today because of this
But the world is just not the same
Oh, if and, if and when you get into the end zone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't blame, don't say people lose people all the time anymore
Don't say people lose people all the time anymore
If and when you get into that end zone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't change but don't say people lose people all the time anymore
Ooh, it's just not the same because of this
Ooh, it's not the same
