Collision
My mission


When the dawn breaks
With a handshake
Relaxed and feelin' great


Screeching...head on
I'm needing a head on


All the day's plans
All the shaking hands
Beepers and suntans


Screeching...head on
I'm needing a head on


Collision
My mission

It's over today
The heat is gone
Time is gone
F for fake
I feel no wrong
Hide no wrong
I love this place
The lights....
Under this face
So dry....


Only way to change
Give yourself away
Don't be ashamed
Next in line; close one eye
Just walk by


In these days
I'm breathing stone, crying stone
I'll win this race
I'll leave alone, arrive alone
Love this place, the lights...
Under this face, so dry...


Stripped to the bone
I did no wrong
Truth is my name
Give yourself away

This is getting old
and so are you.
Everything you know
and never knew.
Will run through your fingers
just like sand.


Enjoy it while you can.


Like a snake between two stones
it itches in your bones.
Take a deep breath and swallow
your sorrow
tomorrow.


So raise it up and lets propose a toast.
To the thing that hurts you most.


It's your last cup of sorrow.
What can you say?
Finish it today.
It's your last cup of sorrow.
So think of me
and get on your way.


It won't begin
until you make it end.
Until you know the how the where and the when.
With a new face you might surprise yourself.


Like a snake between two stones
it itches in your bones.

You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself

My box is full
And my mouth is full
And my life is full
And now my memory's full


In how many ways and words
Can you say nothing
Millions of ways and words
To say nothing


What'd I say? I'm empty.

I bought the thing
I taught the thing
And I fought the thing


They said it's normal
But they're keeping me dumb and hot
You're missing something
Keeping me dumb and hot
You must be missing something
Keeping me dumb and hot


What'd I say? I'm empty.


And I'm sending it back to you

The air is warm
I hear the wind and the trees
I know I'm there, but I'll never be
The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low
And I know the way
(I never felt better now)


Sometimes life, it moves too slow
Slows to a crawl, and then the poetry is lost
And without speed, hope becomes certainty
And for once I'm certain
(I never felt better now)


A garden is it's own perfect world
Where everything has a place
Every leaf, every stone, every speck of dirt
But where's my place?
I even tried to get arrested today
But everyone looked the other way
I count the hours, and I count the days
But for once I'm certain


Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Helpless


You found a way to make me say
Help me please someone


The water's clear
I see that it's full of dimes
For every wish, I wonder why
Why all I want is something beautiful
A place to rest
(I never felt better now)

You tied the knot
A legend is what you bought
I give you cold water and you
Swear it was wine
You bought time
If you can fool yourself, then why not them?
Just keep on passing it mouth to mouth to mouth


I can dress up the dead man
But I can't bring him back to life


You tied the knot
Peeled your skin off, leaving a bundle of nerves
I give you a wet noodle, you swear that it was my tongue
A sharp one
Instead of that same old mouth to mouth to mouth to mouth


I can dress up the dead man
But I can't bring him back to life

I want them to know it's me
It's on my head
I'll point the finger at me
It's on my head


Give it all to you
Then I'll be closer


Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you


I will let you shout no more
It's on my head
I'll pick you up from the floor
It's on my head
I'll let you even the score It's on my head

Give it all to you
Then I'll be closer


Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you


Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer
Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer


Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain


Give the same to me then I'll be closer

I'm here alone on the telephone line
I'm right where you want me to be
And I'll wait alone and never ask why
I'll be where you want me to be


And I know...
I've been here before and I know your kind
You're right where I want you to be
Now I'll say what I think
I'll never be what you want me to be
(Just to be who I am)
What do you want me to be?


You'll be on your knees


Tell me
Tell me it's not true

Got that feeling
Luck is just a little of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning


A to Z
Look what you're missing, as we speak
Your number's rising, take a peak
There's just enough to go around, get a piece
Your own little piece of hell


Got that feeling
Loving every minute of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning


Have a drink
A pot of coffee, cannot think
Too many friends here, just an inch
Between striking out and striking rich, just a risk
One I'll take and take again...


Got that feeling
Gotta bet a little of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning..
And start living


You can't borrow tomorrow

You squirt out red and turn so yellow
And then you made me kill my own
I'm not afraid
(coming, coming)
But I'm afraid


Blood in your eyes again
Bravery, the face of man
Blood on your mind again
Chivalry, the face of man
Blood in your lies again
Enemy, the face of man
Blood in your eyes, again


Is this the only path of glory?
If so then I won't go alone
Follow the trail
(running) Follow the trail


I'm not afraid
But I'm afraid

Come home
It's been so long
We're missing you at home
So hang up that phone
Cuz I'm coming back
home


Come home
It's been so long
Can't hide no more
So hang up that phone
Cuz I'm coming back
home


Drive me home

I'm watching you


You shall weep no more
It's your last breath of air
These walls won't keep them out
They'll keep you in
But who's going to protect you?


Who?


In every flower bed
In every marriage bed
I'll be with you


I'm watching you
