1. MONEY IN THE BANK

You got the money in the bank, the house on the hill, expensive clothes
All the riches that you found, the land beneath your feet, were seeds you’d never sewn
Be the first to admit, this ground that you stand, should not be your own
Stretch out your palms, coil up your charms and take a look around

There’s a painting on the wall, it makes you feel small, when it’s staring you down
The threat from high and low, the heat and then the snow, take me to the show
From the new Mercedes cars, to the tab on the bars and the first men on Mars
The wind in your sail, the hammer on the nail, your heart will prevail

You feel alone even when you’re sitting in the crowd
I’m not rags and I’m not bones
I’m not special and we’re not clones
It took the wind to knock me out
It took gravity to pull me down
You feel alone even when you’re sitting in the crowd


2. CHANGE YOUR POSITION

Rip in the ozone, I’m looking up
Golden crown, Ah man we’re out of luck
You bring the fire, we bring the love
Here is the jury and I am the judge
Sat down, it’s getting hard to listen
Run around just to change your position
Consume consumption, divert division
Holy hell this man is on a mission

You’ve got to answer for everything that came before
They’re setting traps beneath your car by your front door

This disposition, your ammunition
What came first the eggs or the chickens?
Try to hit them, just where it hurts
Scars and bruises, you must know what is worse
Shot down, I’ll make you listen
Run around just to change your position
Revolt, revulsion
Solve, solution
Holy hell this man is our pollution

You’ve got to answer for everything that came before
They’re setting traps beneath your car by your front door

Heavy hearts they sink or do they decay?
Do peoples spirits break or do they fade away?
Stand tall above it all, it’s just a phase
We are brothers in arms in outer space
I know you’ve shown it’s such a long way down
Come now, calm down
Backing up or backing down

I’m starting to feel amused this society is getting bruised
We are just drifting from ourselves
Stuck in an empty room, analyze and don’t assume
All that we know and need will pass us by

Sat down, it’s getting hard to listen
Run around just to change your position

Shot down, I’ll make you listen
Run around just to change your position

Sat down, sat down, run around
Shot down, shot down, run around
Change your position


3. PLAYING WITH FIRE

Where do the saints and the sinners go?
The liars, chastisers and misers know
There’s nowhere greater than the after-glow
All the space that we trace will never grow
Now my body is empty and my connection is weak
There is nothing of greatness in the words that you speak

You’re sweating in your sleep, you can’t apologize
For any part you played, you cannot criticize
We’re playing with fire

You hit my core, made me sore
You’ll never know how time is refined from the to and fro
When the penny drops I’ll make it clear though
Be my guest and walk through the undertow

Now our bodies are broken from the fight of our lives
It’s better unspoken, pedaling through these times

You’re sweating in your sleep, you can’t apologize
For any part you played, you cannot criticize
I tried to reach your heart, but it’s too far away
We’re playing with fire

My time is up today, shut the door get out and walk away
My head’s racing every moment, lead me to atonement (follow me)
Always wanting without a care (waking up)
I’m sorry if I seem to stare (follow me)
You don’t see it every day (waking up)
Follow me
Waking up


4. ALL THAT MEDICINE

There is a sickness swimming round my skull
I feel my chances rating less than null
Slipping through the cracks, catch me when I fall
Stuck inside your web looking down the rabbit’s hole

My thoughts are blackness jumping through the light
A fever takes my hand and leads me out of sight
In the end it seems the truth was just a lie
Like a bird of prey that’s afraid to fly

All that medicine, all that medicine

Tuning in, not coming apart
Look up, look down
This work of art
Dig yourself a hole
All that medicine

There is a cold sweat dripping down my spine
It bent me out of shape and tied me to the vine
I smell an autumn breeze, no release or guarantees
I hear an echo and it’s making me feel numb

All that medicine, all that medicine

Tuning in, not coming apart
Look up, look down
This work of art
Dig yourself a hole
All that medicine

To live a life of love and love what’s in your way
I’d give all of my tomorrows for a taste of your today
But a man without a care is a man without a home
Take me home

Tuning in, not coming apart
Look up, look down
This work of art
Dig yourself a hole
You gotta rock and roll
Stuck in your sin
You gotta have it
Tuning in, not coming apart
Look up, look down
This work of art
Dig yourself a hole
All that medicine


5. ON THE RUN

Loaded up the 4x4, couldn’t wait to get out the door
Hit some traffic on the way, there was a lot she had to say
Now the fuzz are on our tracks, eating razorblades for snacks
I think we’re safe now for a week, that’s not confirmed or guaranteed

She lifts me up
Don’t bring us down
You’re the only one that’s hanging around
There is no choice
It’s just begun
We’re forever moving on the run

I see them waiting on the hill, playing cards and getting ill
This is it, the time to strike, try to catch me if you like
I made my mark, I got ‘em bad, torched their car it made ‘em sad
I bet they get me in the end. I got my girl and she’s my friend

She lifts me up
Don’t bring us down
You’re the only one that’s hanging around
There is no choice
It’s just begun
We’re forever moving on the run

We’re forever moving, might as well be losing when we’re on the run


6. THE LAST TIME

I’ve been biding my time looking to change the result
The apple of my eye, the test that cannot be solved
Back and forth you don’t commit, morning dew and cuckoo spit
Embers burn to fade away, I made a bed for you

Because it’s the last time we fall apart as one
The last time the ocean swallows the sun
Drifting on an open plain
Feelings that you just cannot explain

Heavy heart that bleeds, restless people will concede
Sprinters need to rest their heals, beggars eat their ready meals
Reaching out for one or two, maybe him or maybe you
Like a fox from horse and hound seeking something better

It the last time we fall apart as one
The last time the ocean swallows the sun
Drifting on an open plain
Feelings that you just cannot explain

You can do exactly what you like


7. TAKING THE HIT

Sneaking out the back door in the morning sun
Holding up the traffic; you’ve been jumping the gun
Girl you gotta listen you’ve been breaking my mind
Dealing with Beelzebub is a waste of my time
Who’s that laughing?
Pointing right at you, got no clue, what cha thinking baby
Who you fooling?
Dealing with abuse, light a fuse, you’re hallucinating

Move out it’s over and then we’ll start again

I’ll never stop taking the hit baby
Your punch bag working overtime
All bent up like a rag doll or something dirty
You got to be cruel to be kind

Tell me what you’ve found, is it something of worth?
Did you make a fortune? Did you lay in the dirt?
I’ve been searching for you and god knows why
Every time I’m near you I’m reaching for an alibi
I’ve been waiting
Guess you’ll never change, center stage, no one’s watching baby
Who you fooling?
Dealing with abuse, light a fuse, you’re hallucinating

Move out it’s over and then we’ll start again

I’ll never stop taking the hit baby
Your punch bag working overtime
All bent up like a rag doll or something dirty
You got to be cruel to be kind


8. MY HEADSPACE

Searching high and low down in Mexico
Where borders are broader than a swimmer’s build
I found a rip in my dreams and it’s split from its seams
And now I feel like I’m coming undone
Now they worry about my headspace
Many a time you’d hang for crime
That was nothing to do with the push and the shove

Yeah, I’m gonna listen to you, but I don’t give a damn about what I do

Sat down in New Orleans with a cool ice tea and bitter sting
Got to check in to Santa Fe, gonna hunt me down like the DEA
I guess they love me when I’m up

No one else is around, there’s not even a sound
And now I feel like I’m coming undone
Man you ate it so quick and it’s making you sick
Leave a message after the tone
Now they worry about my headspace
You’ve been lumping me in with a smile
And a grin that’s giving you a license to lie

Yeah, I’m gonna listen to you, but I don’t give a damn about what I do

Sat down in New Orleans with a cool ice tea and a bitter sting
Got to check in to Santa Fe, gonna hunt me down like the DEA
I guess they love me when I’m up
I guess they love me when I’m up

Truth hurts, lightning bursts, this is my truth for all that it’s worth
I guess they love me when I’m up


9. WE ARE CONSUMERS

First brick in the wall, shut ‘em down
Made you feel so small, in their gown
Exploded unannounced, sentenced soul
Take yourself apart, re-build control

One by one it’s taking over

Chapter, story, book, end unsure
Maggots on a hook, rich and poor

The news today and a new world order

You’re living inside of a dream
Surrounded by yes men and rulers
It looks like the cat’s got the cream and we are consumers

Rack ‘em up
Just to knock ‘em down
Light it up, the lost and found
Hesitation, no more pride
Dirty mind games, bonafide

One by one it’s taking over

You’re living inside of a dream
Surrounded by yes men and rulers
It looks like the cat’s got the cream and we are consumers

Lately I’ve been using my trials just to find a release
Looking between all the cracks just won’t let me be
And when you meet you maker, well you’ve got to feel complete

You’re living inside of a dream
Surrounded by yes men and rulers
It looks like the cat’s got the cream and we are consumers


10. CUT YOUR CHAINS

Will you follow my lead? I’ve been talking to my friends tonight
There’s a call to be free or abnormal, wet your appetite
No more borders, lose your hang ups
These disorders are now chat ups

There’s a line in the sand, when you cross it come on take my hand
There’s a stance you can take
It’s better to be real than some poor old, washed up, closet fake

Cut your chains...
You know you’re not a dog in a cage, a rat in a maze
Just let go, to everything...
To all that you see and all that you know

Well don’t be shy, come get lucid, there’s a look in your eye
Staying up for the ride, we’ll be drinking till the morning light
You’ll forget this next time we speak
Don’t regret this, you gotta learn to see

There’s a line in the sand, when you cross it come on take my hand
There’s a stance you can take
It’s better to be real than some poor old, washed up, closet fake

Cut your chains...
You know you’re not a dog in a cage, a rat in a maze
Just let go, to everything...
All that you see and all that you know

You’re a rose and a thorn
You’ve been ripped up and torn
A casualty that’s stronger, so much stronger than before


11. WEARING A DISGUISE

When you lined your pockets with gold did you think that was it?
The greatest fortune told was really just a myth
Looking down with your solid glance at this once peaceful place
An overlooked romance and a hand upon your face

It’s a long way down from here
I took a breath and watched you disappear
It was right before your eyes
The one you love was wearing a disguise

There’s a lot that can be done, or did we push you far away?
There’s a place to call your own, a place for you to stay
Behind the wall of mirrors a man could hold the key
The things that came before were not supposed to be

It’s a long way down from here
I took a breath and watched you disappear
It was right before your eyes
The one you love was wearing a disguise

Search the lost and found, this ship has run aground
Bouncing off the walls, they made you feel so small
I consigned myself to the dirt
I’d do it again for fun


12. THE SYMPHONY HAS BEGUN

Coffee’s gone cold, perfume in the air
Shadows of the past, creeping everywhere
Scratches on my wrist from an hour ago
Shout to myself but I can’t hear my echo

When all the words are said and sung and the symphony has begun
The band will strike it up for one more song
And like a father with a child separated by a country mile
Searching for a way to come back home

I grabbed your hand did you loosen your grip?
Moving out, well it’s my favourite trick
Kicking stones or are you pulling teeth?
Did you miss the end? Did you feel incomplete?

When all the words are said and sung and the symphony has begun
The band will strike it up for one more song
And like a father with a child separated by a country mile
Searching for a way to come back home

Stop
(If we stop)
Don’t waste my time
(Don’t waste my time)
Borrowed life, is hard enough to find kiss
(Please kiss)
Your dreams goodbye
And remember that we can never die

Searching for a way to come back home
