Dreams! The dreams you traded For a comfort zone, a comfort zone Heading out west, hands on the wheel Eyes straight ahead, this is not how you feel Who you are isn't real, who you are isn't real It's just a Dream! A dream you traded For a comfort zone, a comfort zone Factory life, factory job Factory wife, two kids and a dog Punching clocks in a fog, punching clocks in a fog This is the long fall You're in for the long haul Dreams! The dreams you traded For a comfort zone, a comfort zone There were songs in your heart Songs about hope Now all of your dancing's at the end of a rope At the end of a rope You're at the end of your rope This is the long fall You're in for the long haul

We were stars, you and I Till we burned from the sky A supernova Fading from each other's eyes It's on your face It's in your eyes Come, don't look so surprised This night's a rerun, after all Action! Action! The lights go down You're the main attraction, the fatted cow When they ask tomorrow, "Where are you now?" Just take a bow, take a bow Sounds unheard, sights unseen Words unspoken in the space between The cuts Ooooh... What does it mean? See your face on the clearance rack You're a story as old as the sidewalk's cracks You made the scene lying on your back You'll go out the same way There's a TV show playing in my head Each episode in order from birth to death It starts the day when we first met And it ends when you last said DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL DON'T TURN AWAY

After hours in the park Passing glances, passing dark Passing notes in the halls at school Making secrets, breaking rules We were waking up We were going down Watching the clock, watching the hands go Tick tock tick tock tick tock la-la-la Oh, I wish the hands would stop... Another spring, and then one more From passing notes to passing scores Turning heads like unmade beds Those stains aren't coming out my friend We were waking up We were going down Watching the clock, watching the hands go Tick tock tick tock tick tock la-la-la Oh, I wish the hands would stop... Two families later at a grocery store Two lives that hoped for something more Two carts that pass in the checkout aisle Two hearts that pretend not to smile We were waking up We were going down Watching the clock, watching the hands go Tick tock tick tock tick tock la-la-la Oh, I wish the hands would stop...

Ghosts 03:03
Don't follow me here Don't follow me here Don't follow me here like an echo (an echo) There's ghosts in the tress tonight Don't follow me here Don't follow me here Don't follow me here like an echo (an echo) Don't follow me here through this forest in my heart... There's ghosts in the trees tonight

Strays 03:23
Piece of hopes, pieces of dreams, pieces of your heart Follow the trail, the trail of pieces Right back to the start He comes to you late at night with his belly on the floor To take another piece of you when you open up the door And you'll live to love him another day But is it really love or just another stray Bullet through your heart Don't believe them when they say That it's worth the price you pay He comes to you late at night with his belly on the floor To take another piece of you when you open up the door And you'll live to love him another day But is it really love or just another stray Bullet through your heart Take every kiss, every sigh Throw them away and hope that he dies With your name on his lips With your name on his lips It didn't come out the way that you planned Says he'll change if he can But he's only a man He's gonna do it again You'll let him do it again And if you listen to your heart You'll be right back at the start He comes to you late at night with his belly on the floor To take another piece of you when you open up the door And you'll live to love him another day But is it really love or just another stray Bullet through your heart

Razor Smile 02:48
Another song, another dance Another tale of doomed romance Copied your tombstone for the book of love That heart shaped coffin fits like a glove Stick your hands in the fire Cry when it burns Someday no one will listen That's when you'll learn Why it hurts Why it hurts In your heart and in your mind There was something you longed to find Another body another soul Total possession, total control Stick your hands in the fire Cry when it burns Someday no one will listen That's when you'll learn Why it hurts Why it hurts Razor smile, razor tie Underneath that suit you're a hell of a guy But when they pass beyond that door They get just what they're asking for Stick your hands in the fire Cry when it burns Someday no one will listen That's when you'll learn Why it hurts Why it hurts
