I've made some pretty bad decisions
They hold a weight on me
No chance to go back and change them
Keep moving and let them be
No job, no source of income
Haven't got the resume
So I have to pick up scrap now
Lying on the Mass Speedway
[Harmony]
Oooohhhh Aaahhhh
Aaaahhh Aaaahhh
Aaaahhh Aaahhhh
Aaahhhh....
Do you believe that I have problems?
If so, that's a shame
But I can't point any fingers
I'm the only one to blame

Play the Fool

She said I better go
'Cause everybody's bound to know
That I'm going overboard
And the cracks are beginning to show
[Chorus]
She turned to me last night
And said
That I better keep my cool
Well I just turned my head
And laughed
I said I like playing the fool
The next time was worse
I had more than the first
No matter how hard she tugged my arm
She couldn't remove my curse
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You think that I'm a huge embarrassment
Well I'll tell you something, you ain't seen nothin' yet
There's one for you and another for your friends
No need for me to go and make amends
The next morn when I woke
I thought it was a joke
'Cause when I didn't see you by my side
I knew my heart had broke
[Chorus]
[Bridge]

Getaways

Soliciting
All along the wall
Taking time
Don't do much at all
Come here everyday to waste the time we have
(We're not doing any harm)
I think they're getting mad about the things we do
(Oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Get away
(Get away)
Get out quick
(Get out quick)
You gotta make a break
(You gotta make a break)
Get away
(Get away)
Partying
In your folks' back yard
Feelin' good
Down on our guard
Then I hear a wail in the dead of night
(I think I hear the cops)
Gotta make our leave and get outta sight
[Chorus]
A prison cell
Ain't the place to be
An escape
The guards will fail to see
Clinging on a raft, going to the coast
I'll try to save my life, the thing I love the most
[Chorus]

I'm at Home
02:13
|
|

|
I'm at home
With nobody
Just watching my TV
You are home
With somebody
A man that isn't me
I called you once and I called you twice
Then I still have to pay the price
I thought you were the
One I need
You are out
With somebody
Another guy like me
I'm at home
With nobody
It's you I wanna see
But you don't don't care, you feel alright
While making me feel so uptight
I thought you were the
One I need
[Bridge]
I don't why I waste my time
Trying to get you back something
I might as well just stop right now
Before I waste my life away
I'm at home
With nobody
Yet I feel satisfied
You are out
With somebody
Keeps you mesmerized
I will not cry, I will not shy
'Cause I've known long what you're all about
You're no longer
The one I need
(You're no longer
The one I need)

Abagail
01:48
|
|

|
Who's that knockin' on my door?
It's my Abagail
Sweeps me up off the basement floor
And sets me on the trail
[Chorus]
There's a place that we will go
To spend our time and take things slow
You're the one that will not fail
My Abagail
Glassy eyes on another plane
That's just Abagail
Staring as if she's gone insane
While walking down the trail
[Chorus]
Another place, another time
With my Abagail
The things we do are so sublime
When we're on the trail
[Chorus]
My Abagail

My Decision

My mariachi band played on the grass
Outside your window
But you didn't come when the time had passed
Another no-show
The band wasn't cheap, they needed the cash
So I paid them
There I was lying like a piece of trash
I'm quite content
[Chorus]
There you are
On the street
Using all your contradictions
I think it's time
To make ends meet
I'm gonna have to make a big decision
But you can't see
That I'm right here
You've got some pretty guy for every occasion
But I won't break
Or shed a tear
I'm gonna have to make a big decision
I wanna ride around, but you say no
Again I'm shut down
I try to take you out, but you wouldn't show
All alone in my town
How am I supposed to make you feel real good
When you shun me?
Am I supposed to get on my hand and knees
For you to see?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I have some birds in a cage
For you
I hide and quietly sing
For you
An antique musical box
For you
I got a new diamond ring
For you
[Chorus]

Tides

|
What shall we play
Before we all go to sleep?
Should we even care
When we're sinking into the deep?
[Chorus]
The boat's getting wet
And all the sails
Are on their side
Our audience
Are in their ships
Against the Tide
[Chorus]

I have
Seen the same
Masquerade
All these years
Going by
And I know
That this man
Ain't the same
That I've seen
Tell me why
[Chorus]
I, pretender
I surrender
To time
I, pretender
I surrender
To all of the plans that await
At the end of the road
He smiles
At me now
But I can't
Understand
If he's true
Long ago
I was young
There were doubts
That I held
Long ago
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Stopping for breath
Stopping for breath
Today
Stopping for breath
Stopping for breath
For a breath
Hold a breath
[Chorus]

Outcome

|
You have the things you want, but not a lot to me
If that's the case, I'm quite ashamed
But I can't complain because I'm just like you
And I don't know who's to blame
[Chorus]
Why can't we take these things and throw 'em away?
They won't be with us when we pass
But if you want to go and have it your way
I'm pretty sure that it won't last
A stack of discs a row of shoes and cars to drive
Collecting all to satisfy
We love these things to take, to hold and call our own
But they always pass us by
[Chorus]
