Sat up to resign, closed up my case Put my guitar in an unfamiliar place Stared at her pillow that resembled me; I almost gave it a face Whatever you do, I never knew Something like motion sickness found me nothing but war There's more soul in the rock of a vending machine and more love in the sign at the door Whatever you do, I never knew So I'm about ready to read your book; The detail I'm missing; gonna take one more look; Remember what you shook Left the room of empty voices Took what I can from freedoms choices Finish line walk on a start again morning Pass my neighbours dog who had nothing to say Whatever you do, I never knew And I could lay your weight on that grainy light And hold my vision to fend off the night But I'm about ready to read my own sights; The detail I'm missing; gonna take one more look; Remember what you shook Whatever you do, I never knew

Out of Sight 04:51
Early evening and I'm late in the day Pushing my face together took me away Bouncing eyes; this is my favourite spot Though the mind wanders to where you drop If you go where the sun doesn't go the darkness you will find if you go where the sun doesn't go your darkness will be mine Across the room is a writer-a person deep in thought Looking for what they are after Danger be aware-be aware of traffic Laughs the tilting sign If you go where the sun doesn't go the darkness you will find If you go where the sun doesn't go your darkness will be mine I don't have to find anything in a strangers stare But I cant fight the glare We all shopped at the same shop We all bought the same top We all thought the same thoughts We all spilt the same drop And we're afraid of each other.

I spent half my life walking into rooms to find I'm not sure why I went there But today I'm pleasantly surprised; this place is more like the outside and everywhere I walk is true I'm trying to find something to throw at you-that means I'm glad your here And all my questions are only confessions of a stumbling mind And everything I've fallen over is mine Freedom is a squeeze Freedom at the knees 'Mariachi El Bronx' the most winning of finds "Stolen by surrender" I am giving in this time The one who comes from the most demanding of paths demands nothing from me I need no reason and everything I wouldn't do, I lied Freedom is a squeeze Freedom at the knees

There's no dividing; no ache in the seems My want is given all that it needs Asleep is a friend of mine, fed by his dreams Always hungry; always wearing everything he sees Get big ideals yes I'm standing right here Chasing ideas-still thoughts that will leave you in love Been swimming in my shoes again Not sure they walk like the bleed The swell could take me anywhere-Anywhere I believe At home tying knots Imagine them free Get big ideals; yes I'm standing right here Chasing ideas-still thoughts that will leave you in love Asleep is a friend of mine, fed by his dreams Always hungry; always wearing everything he sees I think I could lose my mind Just chasing ideas Get big ideals; yes I'm standing right here Chasing ideas-still thoughts that will leave you in I think I could lose my mind Just chasing ideas

I laughed at you; you laughed at me; we laughed Around the house the day chased me and passed The light flicked on and though the colours were after This room was ours; strip the beds and move the stars Tonight, wont you be believing with me As we climb high above where we can't be seen In the jungle the lion sleeps...... In the jungle Out come the best: Gun metal planes and beasts to roam Decision made: The ultimate fighting champion I'm sorry I shook the toy, traced the shape, ripped a whole, Wanted more, told everybody your present's Skelitor Can I borrow your troops and we can search the forest floor Tonight, wont you be believing with me As we climb high above where we can't be seen In the jungle the lion sleeps...... In the jungle Hidden green cat-confidently fixed in the walking position, Waiting to roam in a larger scale, He mocks us with his tail. Dinners ready I laughed at you You laughed at me The game was set on fooling me In the jungle the lion sleeps...... in the jungle

Have you ever met a man with so many voices Sends you postcards inside envelopes Describes the places he lived when he wasn't awake Are you mulling over distance in the smallest of space Biting your lips in spite of your face Some of the words I don't understand Am I speaking your language or am I rain on the roof I always end up in the same space as you The festival was muddy; last night I tripped and fell Shared the sound of the ceiling under the misty spell Have you ever woken up naked, still in your cryptic shell Struggled with your self and only your sleeping bag can tell I always end up in the same space as you
