this strange plan is random at best

this strange how much more can i take

this strange changing atmosphere

and it gravity too in its severity

this strange day is almost over

just started to get sick of it

and its strange but not all that strange

yeah its strange but whats so strange about that

yeah its strange but what isnt strange

yeah its strange but oh well

this strange plan is random at best

this strange how much more can i take

this strange sound you said i said

youre not listening or im not saying it right

this strange war of promises

lets call this a truce, well call it the truth

and its strange but not all that strange

yeah its strange but whats so strange about that

yeah its strange but what isnt strange

yeah its strange but oh well


. . .



they never feel

they dont even seem real

they never try, so why should i

something is wrong

something invisible is gone

they never mind, so why should i

dont you get hurt

dont you ever need a cure

dont you get tired

and why and why

after awhile

after _____

they wont decide, so why should i

when they hand it over

give it all away

well how can you explain

when they hand it over

noone gets their way

noone gets their (plane?)

dont you get tired

of everyone that you admire

theyll never die, so why should i

something is wrong

something invisible is gone

they never mind, so why should i

when they hand it over

give it all away

well how can you explain

when they hand it over

noone gets away

noone gets the (blame?)


. . .



the symptoms of our getting older
the problems that say we don't mind
that most of us never get over
the memories mingled with lies

coincidence gave a confession
that no one's allowed to forget
I don't wanna give the impression
that predestination is set

the distance will increase the danger
where certainty's never enjoyed
regarded as equal yet stranger
embark then embrace then destroy

observing the process will change it
and afterwards even if you
subconsciously rearrange it
it doesn't seem any less true

remnants of thought disappearing
and even transcending concern
disturbing but somehow endearing
conditioned to never unlearn

and no one can tell me to listen
and no one can tell me what's right
'cause nobody has my permission
and no one can see in your mind
in your mind
in your mind
in your mind

when magnifications explore
there slowly emerges a pattern
the details you normally ignore
you notice really what matters

there isn't a time or a place
only an ebb and a flowing
a permanent repeating space
occuring, connecting and growing

and no one can tell me to listen
and no one can tell me what's right
'cause nobody has my permission
and no one can see in your mind
in your mind
in your mind
in your mind


. . .



in the hurry of the past
i forgot to make it last
simple choices made too fast
vie or die, i didn't count
i'm alarmed and i can't help from
crashing onto this island we've become
words for fighting, words for fun
they've all melted into one
on the tip of every tongue
like the new name for the sun
i'm alarmed and i can't recover from
crashing onto this island we've become
alright now, don't decide about that now
oh how can you blame the only one
ever stay, ever stay, ever stay around and you would
never say never say all the harms been done
and you were
all so gone oh so long, so long
did you make it all wrong, so wrong
did you wait oh so long, so long
did you take it all wrong, so wrong


. . .



took it all and take it over

taking as much as you can see

i can almost think about it

but i cant arrange for you to see yeah

didnt know what im afraid of

i can learn it from a dream

theres a light that never goes out

burning a hole inside of me yeah

keep your lamps all trimmed and burning

might be alarmed with what you see

i agreed to always love you but never enough to set you free


. . .



haven't had a half a hand
in half of what i am
haven't heard of half the things
that happened in the past
haven't givin half the time to half the people
and half the things i planned
you don't have to be so cruel,
cause all i do is a little less than what i can
happiness'll only happen when it can
happiness'll only happen when it can

haven't had the half a mind to stay,
to start to take a stand
haven't held on half as long as i had hoped,
as i had hoped and planned
haven't missed half the shit they said i'd have to have to have a chance
you don't have to be so cruel, cause all i do's a little less than what i can
happiness'll only happen when it can
happiness'll only happen when it can
happiness'll only happen when it can
happiness'll only happen when it can

. . .



everybody

everybody know everybody know

everybody know everybody know

that you that you that you that you are


. . .



I know you're making
accidents and stars for everyone
you're amazing
half of them won't know until you're gone

and in this ritual
you take command and lose control
and in this situation
find an ocean, sell your soul

fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss

and when it's over
set aside a moment to forget
it's now or never
now's the chance to choose what you'll regret

to taking all your time
and leaving me with more than I want
because I know this time
absolutely, positively
may...maybe
may...maybe
may...maybe
may

fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss

and all the signs of your life
you're making all time alright
and all the lines of your life
you make it fine

and when it's later
open up your window just in case
you're a radar
built to scan the deeps of outer space

and if you recognize
subtle patterns in the sky
don't take it as a sign
unless it eases your mind

why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
fly around my pretty little miss

"Do you want it to be outside in the cool night,
where the stars gravitate toward you?
Do you want it to be outside in the cool night, where
the fog wraps itself around you?
Do you want it to be outside in the sunshine,
where the clouds take their places for you?

And the wind and snow and the rain that blows,
none of those would matter much without you.
And as long as its talking with you,
talk of the weather will do.

Do you want it to be outside in the cool night,
where the stars gravitate toward you?
Do you want it to be outside in the sunshine,
where the song keeps itself inside you?
And the wind and snow and the rain that blows,
none of those would matter much without you.

Nobody's hoping for better days,
No one knows what to do.
You're ok in your secret ways,
No one bothering you.
It might save time if I meet you there
But I dont care, I'd rather wait for you.

And no one's home and the weathers fine,
I'd rather wait for you.
Where no one's home and the weathers fine,
I'd rather wait for you.
