I'm Over It 02:45
I'm over you and your gnashing teeth Your lazy bones your clumsy feet Rather walk to a different drummer's beat But I'm stuck dancing with you And I'm over it I'm over you and the engine's whine You cannonball in my good times You took a perfectly good mind Cut it right in two And I'm over it I'm over you being over the moon Or down so low like please pity you You always been crazy as a loon Bet you thought this had a different end And I've over it

Ship 03:09
All my best ideas Merely stolen pills Washed down With a thimble full Of guilt All my best enemies Mirrors and mirages And my own Untidy mind I left my heart out to mend Said I cannot help you Because you're not really sick You're not a rudderless ship You're captain merely a prick Hands in his pockets Daydreaming at the wheel To swim the tide is unnecessary Crown your king Then drown your king Piano wires and heartstrings Are the only things To play All my best fish tales Couldn't measure up Truth is stranger than fiction Thats the bottom line
3.
The day I meet my fate Open eyes ecstatic and afraid Held naked with suspense And wide awake But a broken clock Can read right sometimes If a broken man Can do right sometimes Darling if you knew all my secrets Quite certain you'd be stricken All the legends of this town are ghosts to me They aint ever really done much Just a coattail rider Just a hangers on Always unsatisfied And the road is long Lay your ear on my chest Hear my heart beat a tattoo All we've ever done and all we ever was A generation's youth so much rotten fruit Oh so very long I won't tarry in one place I won't drag my feet on a grave Pooled the wool It was easy to do The hard one to fool Was myself Son if you saw all my faces You'd turn tail and cut tracks The mask you see was tailor fit for me I pray you never see the others Strip me down to bare wire Lay my cards on the table With the right mind the right set of eyes Will afford you everything you've wanted

Define 02:59
I always sleep on my right side You always wake up beautiful Sometimes ships passing the right Oh but when sync up Its magical We ought to do that a little more often Got to take the time If we aint gotta make time Two balloons loose in the sky Forever tied Our life is ours to live And theirs to define Oh and I got my act to clean up Gotta soften my demeanor Purely a work in progress I'll let you know when I got it figure out And it'll work itself out in time Put your hand in mine I want to dress you in the finer things But you don't seem to care Think I love that about you Why don't we rehang that picture frame Oh just look at us Couple kids with nothing much
5.
No Hurry 03:46
Unbeknownst to both of us Sky began to fall It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen Just looking like a big black blanket Laid out on the grass over you and me Thumb and forefinger wrapped the moon And our arms holding up stars And all the while my lusty eyes Drank in every inch of you Universe has an order And I aint in no hurry I want to be right here now With you And at glacial pace earth began to turn again Under our backs Cheek to cheek and our feet pointing north and south From the moment you accepted my flaws Set into motion a love like I have never known Thumb and forefinger wrapped around the moon And our arms holding up stars And all the while that pirate smile Held me frozen in place
