You Can Look Now

In and out and all about all over
In and out and all about all over this place
Promise and a wrecking ball, skies grow grey even at my best
Could be, could be wicked wars? Still a rattle's in my chest
You can look, but you can't touch
Like you can smell, but not too much
Foretold you'd have to pry your hands off, your hands off
Brother, there's a coming storm, stirring....stirring.
Stresses stress syllables, trains steams stealthy so they say
....so they say
Magic made may mark me mad, haunting host here he had
...here he had
Today's working wars, we resign, here we depart
No more today working wars, we resign, here we depart and restart
You can look, but you can't touch
Like you can smell, but not too much
Foretold you'd have to pry your hands off, your hands off
Adjust well to shifting times, aging gracefully like wine
Consume by date it moves forward, it moves forward
it moves forward in time
As long as we're not wasting time
Enough of shallow, I want deep
Come get me, Come get me
I've been chasing my shadow
Enough of shallow, I want deep, I want deep, I want deep
Enough of shallow, I want, I want deeper things
Come get me, Come get me
Enough of shallow, I want, I want deeper things
Consumed too much, yet not enough
Consumed too much, yet not enough
You can look, but you can't touch
Like you can smell, but not too much
Foretold you'd have to pry your hands off, your hands off
Beware of corporate crime, don't sign
Its smell is one of a kind
You'll know it by its autograph
Blood flows thru these veins
Like water works its forceful ways
It's told one must deny oneself to get by
Adjust well to shifting times, aging gracefully like wine
Consume by date, it moves forward in time

Reporters, flashlights, in dark
Sword is thy tongue, en garde
The lengths they go, we need to know
Viewers span the globe
Look far today, then outback past the tree which sways
They span the globe
I want to get there faster So does everyone So does everyone
To live in your fashion Where do I get on Where do I get on?
Don't want to, Don't have to
Can't wait to recognize you
Our camps are divided So sick we can't see eye to
I want to get there faster So does everyone! So does everyone!
To live in your fashion Where do I get on Where do I get on?
I want to get there faster So does everyone
To live in your fashion Where do I get on Where do I get on?
I want to get there faster So does everyone
It's not our last picture Leave the flash on
Do you seen your ever after? Or the damage done?
Why wait in a disaster When you can run?
I can't unlearn what I have learned
I can't undo what I have done
Can't unsee what I have seen
Where do I get on?
It's not the end, you look past it
Be more light than heat.
In the heat of passion
Be more light than heat.

Just then, they rapidly reappeared
You better sit down to believe me better
Never mind the autumn trees change color.
Is this really happening?
Forest forming canopy Forest forming canopy
I love you so, I can't live without you
Here we go, in and out, just as the tide
But your horoscope tells of heat tonight
Let us watch autumn rewind Things reverse all the time
What's the forecast? Look to me
In your glass house here we be
While I don't claim immortality
Forest forming canopy Forest forming canopy
I love you so I can't live without you
Here we go, in and out, just as the tide
But your horoscope tells of heat tonight
Are you looking at me? cuz I am looking at you
I love you, baby, can't you see
That your walls are closing in on me?
I refuse to go Will we refuse to go?
One look at your leaves They're falling on the ground
I love you so I can't live without you
Here we go, in and out, just as the tide
But your horoscope tells of heat tonight
Are you looking at me, cuz I am looking at you
You're not walking out on me
Even if we switch tracks to move at the same speed

Sneak Attack

Some body, some body, coming over me
Celestial body hovers over me
It did that, a spirit, then to my knees
Hit back, no answer, but pretty please
Surprised, new something coming over me
New wine, a spirit coming over me
Sit back, breathe in, release, believe
Decked me, floored me, now leave me be
Listen all, it's a sneak attack
Don't look back. Where could I find you?
Listen all, it's a sneak attack, sneak sneak attack.
The vacuum I've been living in
Dry glue, no budge, private sin
All clear, quiet on the western front
do not confront - - - - do not confront
follow me, follow me, follow me faster
follow me, follow me, faster
Listen all, it's a sneak attack
Don't look back. Where could I find you?
Listen all, it's a sneak attack, sneak sneak attack.
Don't call it a night we're gonna get you

I've been bored at the bottom, the foot of a mountain
Now at the apex so it seems
Summit's hot bed, sparks and dreams
Lightning's right in the ash cloud, the ash cloud, the ash cloud
Innkeeper, innkeeper
Vacancy, waive us in.
Motorists can tell by the weather vane
They can't tell from no neon sign
Can tell by the weather vane
Can't tell from all other sides
Inn for the night, not neon known
In from the road, not going home
Inn for the night, not neon known
Hire a bed, rent a room, hit the pillow.
Murder, cold blooded murder
A body lies under a bridge
Wake me up, to be up again
To be up again, to be high and exalted
Is it too much dreaming for the both of us
But slumber is a must, so to abundant expression yeah
Inn for the night, not neon known
In from the road, In from the road
The night, not neon known
Hire a bed, rent a room, hit the pillow.
Wake me up, to be up again
To be up again, to be high and exalted
Is it too much dreaming for the both of us
But slumber is a must, so to abundant expression yeah
Please open the door, I'm family
Please open the door, I'm family
Do come in sometime
To commence on time
Wake me up, to be up again
To be up again, to be high and exalted
Is it too much dreaming for the both of us
But slumber is a must, so to abundant expression yeah
