A Long Way, Baby 04:12

It’s the dead of the night but now its alright ‘cause we caught the flight it’s been a long day We lost so much time stopping the crime but we couldn’t stop time welcome to Sunday I gave you the map you gave me a dap we both showed up strapped right parts in the wrong play you called in a strike like Christopher Pike it felt so dreamlike it smelled like your hairspray It’s a long way down when you’re lookin’ at the ground and it’s a long way up when you find the way out Well it’s a long way baby but hold on ‘cause I’m comin’ for you yeah it’s a long way baby but I’m ready for our rendezvous it’s a long way baby but only if you’re lookin’ down Might be the wrong way baby but we’re just tryin to find our way around And now we have landed just like we planned it rested and tanned we move with the warm wind We’re getting to know the places we go to all the great shows the love it has not dimmed Well it’s a long way baby but hold on ‘cause I’m comin’ for you yeah it’s a long way baby but I’m ready for our rendezvous it’s a long way baby but only if you’re lookin’ down Might be the wrong way baby but we’re just tryin to find our way around Well it’s a long way baby but hold on ‘cause I’m comin’ for you yeah it’s a long way baby but I’m ready for our rendezvous it’s a long way baby but only if you’re lookin’ down Might be the wrong way baby but we’re just tryin to find our way around

Echo and the Sound 03:38
lyrics

I’ve been meanin’ to ask you Do you ever wonder why I follow you around I’m not a puppy dog I just like the look and the sound that you make when you stand up and again when you get down you got that style and mind you are the echo and the sound Girl I know you better and I’m more than just a clown I always pay the rent and if you’re lost I’ll getchu found I know all the nooks and crannies and back alleys in this town but I always find my way back to the echo you are the echo and the sound you are the echo and the sound And all my friends they tell me that this isn’t what it seems But I can’t help myself you are my mountains and my streams the girl in my dreams You’re the girl from my dreams you are the girl from my dreams I’m tellin’ you you walked out of a dream that I had So when can I call you I give text of great renown you know when I emoji its next level and profound don’t put this lil puppy in your personal dog pound yank that chain and watch me run to the echo Baby you’re the echo you are the echo and the sound oh what a sound She’s the girl from my dreams the echo and the sound She’s the girl from my dreams

Dream Quixote 04:07
lyrics

Hey we’re in the city and you’re lookin’ so fine I gotta pinch myself just to remember that you’re mine It feels like I’m dreamin’ and I’ll never wake again this can’t be real, no, no ‘cause dreamers never win Look at all those dreamers yeh, they’re shakin’ their tails for nothin’ at all Just more victims for the schemers deprived of any lovin’ at all Girl I still feel you It's just more distant, and surreal and these days I pinch myself just to remember how to feel We both said forever but I guess that was just thinkin’ out loud ‘cause now when I hear thunder roll I wait for you to come around Look at all those dreamers yeh, they’re shakin’ their tails for nothin’ at all Just more victims for the schemers deprived of any lovin’ at all Look at all those dreamers liftin’ their sails for nothin’ at all solitary sleepers deprived of any lovin’ at all It's a universal story and it’s the one I wish to tell about love makers and love takers and on which side of the fence I find myself Look at all those dreamers yeh, they’re shakin’ their tails for nothin’ at all Just more victims for the schemers deprived of any lovin’ at all Look at all those dreamers liftin’ their sails for nothin’ at all they’re solitary sleepers deprived of any lovin’ at all Look at all those dreamers solitary sleepers

I Got Good Love 04:57
lyrics

It was a long time ago in the dark of a warm night It was after the show and you were lookin’ alright It was a wasted chance still seared in my memory we got caught in a long glance but it was not meant to be But baby I got good love and it ain’t no sort of short-time love so baby if you want love all you gotta do is give love oh you gotta live love you got to be love Last night I saw you for the first time in years hangin’ out with the old crew full of laughter and tears I saw you in the moonlight across the bonfire flames I finally understood your flight I had misread the games But baby I got good love and it ain’t no sort of short-time love so baby if you want love all you gotta do is give love oh you gotta live love you got to be love I got good love I said I got good love Don't you know don't you know I got good love don't you know don't you know I got good love

Hard Edges 04:44
lyrics

I have the hard edges that make this new world go I have the confident sex appeal that lubricates the flow I make things with my hands that vibrate to the stars I manufacture energy so hot it burns quasar But when I look back and I contemplate I wonder what I have done When I think about and I question, and I doubt this life spent on the run Can I find a place to hold the line (a place to hold the line) Can I justify all this time that I went without your love that I went without your love Can we finally get together have I suffered enough? I think up things that work and I build them from the ground I draw up plans and remedies solve problems that come around I take my good ideas evolve them in my sleep I take the things I see in the night and I drown them in the deep Is the time Is it right can I hold you in the night will we ever make the change or are we stuck in yesterday when I went without your love that I went without your love we make good love, good love Can we finally get together I wanna get with your love

You can doubt me if you want you can deceive, and you can taunt but I’ll never stop believing in your light you can cast stones at my body make hating me your hobby but I’ll tell you now you’re only burning bright you imagine higher station you seek that rude sensation but the end result is you are your own maker You have tried your best to demonstrate even got your guys to congregate but in the end you ended up a taker La da da la da da la da You can buy and you can sell me you can make this world unhealthy but you only catch diseases that you’re sellin’ You can fake your way to confidence you can take their lives or pay their rents but will you make the cut there is no tellin’ So take heart in what I told you and take care with what I sold you because if you get caught holdin’ you are dead They will take you in the back room force you to build your own tomb but they cannot stake a claim inside your head La da da la da da la da Push me but I’m never goin’ away I’m here for you in dark and light of day find me when you hit the ground again Let’s fight this battle until we fuckin’ win shake the doldrums from your lyin’ eyes let me in start shedding your disguise Promise me you’ll live to see the day I’m telling you I’ll never go away

Why doncha come over here let me explain something to ya Every day I wake up I fix myself a cup I put on my clothes and I look up and I see you baby standin’ fixin’ your hair and I remember how our love well it came out of nowhere And my mama always told me you’ll find love where you least expect and my daddy always told me you gotta show that girl some respect, boy ain’t gonna find a woman who’ll love you like that but once in a lifetime Try as I might I cannot find respite Baby I knew from the start Try as I might I cannot get it right you make livin’ an art you make livin an art and every day is your masterpiece I remember those call in radio shows where you could request a song for your girl and I tried to find it baby the perfect song to rock your world cause I wanted and I needed needed all of your love baby tried to get it tried to own it but I went too far baby why do I always push you away when I want you to stay why do I try to make you go I don’t know I don’t know but I’m gonna try try as I might I cannot find respite Baby I knew from the start Try as I might I cannot get it right you make livin’ an art try as I might I cannot see the light baby I knew from the start Try as I might I will not sleep tonight you make livin’ an art every day is a masterpiece you make living an art every day is a masterpiece every day is a masterpiece

End is the Beginning 04:33

When you’re standing at the edge of the world everything looks so far away and when you’re peering back through all of time everything seems never-ending And I’m callin’ you to talk about about the way we were about the way we were When you’re sitting at the top of the stairs everything looks like a bumpy ride and when you’re livin’ livin’ livin’ livin’ At the end of the line everything seems out of time And I’m beggin’ you to think about about the way we were oh ‘bout the way we were Oh baby don’t you see the end is the beginning of the world And I’m beggin’ you to think about about the way we were about the way we were Ah baby don’t you see the end is the beginning of the world When you’re standing at the edge of the world everything looks so far away And I’m beggin’ you to think about about the way we were think about the way we were And I’m beggin’ you to think about about the way we were about the way we were Ah baby don’t you see the end is the beginning of the world
