One line that bothers me because I don't know if it is what it is is in Walking in Circles:
Ambition is killing me,
And you transended up my knee (this one)
I don't think that's it...and I don't know what it could be....sometimes I hear...
Ambition is killing me,
The new trends are not my thing,
I feel so cheap.
Or something. Transcended doesn't sound right to me.
Ambition is killing me,
And you transended up my knee (this one)
I don't think that's it...and I don't know what it could be....sometimes I hear...
Ambition is killing me,
The new trends are not my thing,
I feel so cheap.
Or something. Transcended doesn't sound right to me.
"I'll never get over you."

-Healthy in Paranoid Times-
01 – Angels Losing Sleep
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone,
Now you're afraid of yourself.
Over your shoulder you have to watch,
Heaven fall into hell.
Looks like your boat’s about to sink,
So it's time to prepare.
Even the Angels are losing sleep,
And decide what's up there.
It's like the calm before the storm,
You better swim.
Just like its cold before it's warm,
You'll get back here again
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait,
Till you fall far from grace.
It's the calm before the storm,
It's there then it's gone.
Looks like the war was in your head,
Not your heart.
Just when you think it’s figured out,
Well it all falls apart.
It's like the calm before the storm,
You better swim
Just like its cold before it’s warm,
You'll get back here again.
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait,
Till you fall far from grace.
It's the calm before the storm,
It's there then it's gone.
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone,
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone.
Looks like the war was in your head,
Looks like the war was in your head,
War was in your head.
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait,
Till you fall far from grace.
It's the calm before the storm.
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I'll wait, I'll wait,
Till you fall far from grace.
It's the calm before the storm,
It's there then it's gone.
02 Will the Future Blame Us?
And are you disappointed?
And have we destroyed it?
I, well I've been stumbling down this long and winding road.
And these terms are changing,
Oh and it’s complicated.
And I,
Well I don't wanna know.
And I,
Don't ask why anymore,
And I,
Don't ask why anymore,
Anymore!
And is it getting better?
Could we live forever?
I, and I'm not sure what the hell we're fighting for.
And does the money make us?
And will the future blame us?
I, oh I don't wanna know.
And I,
Don't ask why anymore.
And I,
Don't ask why anymore,
Anymore!
When you're tired and alone,
And you feel like letting go,
Come home.
When you can't take anymore,
And you’re beat up and ignored,
Come home.
You're the son inside the hole,
The past that you don't know.
You’re a long, long way from home.
There are things you need to know,
The answers leave you cold
You're a long, long way from home.
The sun is coming back,
And it brings a second chance.
If you're not part of this,
Then I don’t wanna know!
And I
Don't ask why anymore.
And I,
Don't ask why anymore, anymore.
When you're tired and alone,
And you feel like letting go,
Come home.
When you can't take anymore,
And you’re beat up and ignored,
Come home.
I’m coming home.
03 – Picture
Waiting by the telephone,
Breathing through a giant rubber hose,
God only knows.
Photographs of you and me,
The pictures of the friends you used to know,
Where did they go?
Don’t take my picture down,
Don’t erase everything that we had.
Don’t think I let you down,
And I might be gone,
But we’ll meet again.
Can’t find you,
So I’ll call your name.
Riding on the satellite,
Sun faded and sweaty,
But that’s alright,
I’m still alive.
Oh I’m stranded in this memory,
Your mouth is wide open,
You can’t scream,
Oh you can’t scream.
Don’t take my picture down,
Don’t erase everything that we had.
Don’t think I let you down,
And I might be gone,
But we’ll meet again.
Can’t find you,
So I’ll call your name.
Please pick up the phone,
Please pick up the phone,
Please pick up the phone,
Please pick up the phone,
I wanted you to know,
I wanted you to know,
I wanted you to know,
I wanted you to know.
Don’t take my picture down,
Don’t erase everything that we had.
Don’t think I let you down,
And I might be gone,
But we’ll meet again.
Can’t find you,
So I’ll call your name.
04 – Where Are You?
Hey you,
Have you felt like this before?
You got style but ain’t got soul.
Are you happy now?
Are you happy.
Tonight,
Did Punk Rock get it right?
Is there no future in sight?
Oh is it different now?
Is it different?
Come on
Come on, come on, come on
Where are you? Where are you?
I'm kicking and screaming,
You’re not listening.
Where are you? Where are you?
Everything I’ve believed in,
Has lied to me.
But this could be the best day of my life,
The best day of my life.
Hey you
Have you got everything you want?
Or do you want more than you got?
Is it different now?
Is it different?
Tonight,
Oh did Jesus get it right?
Or is the devil behind the light?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy?
Come on
Come on, come on, come on
Where are you? Where are you?
I'm kicking and screaming,
You’re not listening.
Where are you? Where are you?
Everything I’ve believed in,
Has lied to me.
Oh this could be the best day of my life
Oh sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Everyone’s waiting for our luck to change.
Sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Everyone’s waiting,
Waiting.
Cause this could be the best day,
And this could be the best day,
And this could be the best day,
Best day,
Best day
Come on,
Come on, come on, come on
Where are you? Where are you?
I'm kicking and screaming,
You’re not listening.
Where are you? Where are you?
Everything I’ve believed in,
Has lied to me.
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day,
Best day,
Best day.
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day,
And this could be the best day,
Best day,
Best day of your life.
05 – Wipe That Smile Off Your Face
It's just the two of us,
A silver cross,
And some strength that you won't believe.
You see I'm not your friend,
And I won't pretend,
That I've come here for peace.
Well I'm not afraid,
I'm gonna make you pay.
I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face.
And this is war,
And I’m gonna wipe that smile off your face.
The time has come,
To drop the bomb,
On all the pain you've been selling.
See I don't like you,
Or your attitude,
Or the company that you keep.
And this is war,
And I’m gonna wipe that smile off your face.
And this is war,
And I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face.
It's just the two of us,
A silver cross,
And some strength that you won't believe.
Oh I'm not afraid,
I'm gonna make you pay,
I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face.
It’s war,
And I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face.
And this is war,
And I’m gonna wipe that smile off your face.
Wipe that smile,
And wipe that smile,
I’m gonna wipe that smile off your face.
Wipe that smile,
And wipe that smile,
Gonna wipe that smile off your face.
06 – Love and Trust
Mother will you think of me in your prayers?
This 21st century is a mess.
Oh you can try and fix it,
But it breaks.
Oh you can try and love it,
But it hates,
Oh it hates.
This is for everything we had,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you and this is for us.
And father will you come for me if I call?
This crazy world has lost its mind,
It’s our fault.
Oh you can try and straighten it,
It turns, it turns, it turns.
Or you can try and smother it,
But it burns,
Oh it burns.
This is for everything we had,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you and this is for us.
Oh will you break my fall?
Oh when I climb too high.
I always lose my nerve,
It happens every time.
Oh will you bring me home,
When I’m barely alive?
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you and this is for us.
This is for everything we had,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you and this is for us.
Oh will you break my fall?
Oh when I climb too high.
I always lose my nerve,
It happens every time.
Oh will you bring me home,
When I’m barely alive?
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you and this is for us.
And this is for you and this is for us.
And this is for you and this is for us.
And this is for us.
07 – Boy
It’s time for forgiveness,
It’s time for relief,
It’s time that we’ve wasted,
And it’s time that we need.
It’s time for decisions,
It’s time to be brave,
It’s the time of your life,
Don’t let it slip away.
Boy,
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
It’s time that we borrow,
And it’s time that we bleed,
It’s time that will cure us,
You just gotta believe.
There’s a warning up ahead,
The alarm’s gone off again,
But the sun will fill the sky,
Fill the sky.
Boy,
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
And boy,
Help is coming to get you out of here.
Don’t carry the weight of the world,
The weight of the world,
And the weight of the world.
Just when you think you’re done,
The war can never be won,
I’ll be there to pick you up,
And dust you off,
And bring you home,
And make you feel loved.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
And boy,
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
And boy,
Help is coming,
I’ll get you out of here.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
Weight of the world,
And the weight of the world,
The weight of the world,
And the weight of the world.
And tonight is a fireball,
And tonight you’re not alone,
And tonight we start again,
Tonight the best is yet to come.
08 – Apology
You, you’re me.
I’m the lock, you’re the key.
You’re the air, the air I breathe.
But tonight I’m choking.
You are my love,
You are my life.
You, you’re the sea.
I’m the waves crashing on the ground,
The ground under your feet.
I’m a liar, a thief,
And I’m an apology.
You are my love.
You are my life.
You are my love.
You are my life.
Don’t go,
Don’t go,
Don’t go,
Don’t go,
Don’t go.
09 – World on a String
I see the world on a string,
It’s hanging from a wire,
It gets tangled up and spun around,
Like the truth inside a liar.
Sometimes you wanna get high,
And sometimes you run and hide,
Cause it eats you up and spits you out,
It swallows you alive.
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (No feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life,
You’ll bring me back to life.
I see the world on a beach,
It’s sinking in the sand,
Oh it tries to suck you down with it,
You better get out while you can.
Sometimes you wanna scream out,
And sometimes you just can’t,
Cause your lips feel like they’re glued together,
And no one gives a damn.
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (No feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life,
And you’ll bring me back to life.
This is the world on a string,
There’s no songs left to sing,
Just sing,
Sing.
I see the good,
I see the bad,
The revolution.
I see the happy,
I see the sad,
The absolution.
I see hate,
And I see love,
When the world’s on a string.
I see the good,
I see the bad,
The revolution.
I see the happy,
I see the sad,
The absolution.
I see hate,
And I see love,
When the world’s on a string.
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (No feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life,
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (No feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life,
And you’ll bring me back to life,
And you’ll bring me back to life.
10 – Don’t Stop
Can’t get out of bed,
Straighten up my head,
I swear this is goodbye.
I feel like lying here,
I feel like dieing here,
And only you can save me tonight.
I felt this earth spin and crash,
The end of the world shouldn’t come so fast.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
I feel powerless,
I feel underdressed,
I swear this is goodbye.
I don’t wanna go,
I just seem to blow everything that I love tonight.
I’ve been hiding here,
I’ve been lying here,
Watching life pass by.
I want you to know,
I want you to know,
I’d die for you,
I’d die for you.
I felt this earth spin and crash,
The end of the world shouldn’t come so fast.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
Everyone’s losing their minds,
Healthy in paranoid times.
I sit on my prints for tonight,
It’s never goodbye,
It’s never,
Goodbye.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
Oh no one will ever compare,
Will ever be better,
Better,
Better than you,
Better than you,
Better than you,
Better than you,
Better than you.
11 – Walking in Circles
I used to wanna dream,
I used to wanna scream at the top of my lungs.
Like a diamond in a ring,
Or the song you love to sing,
The shine is gone.
Walking in circles,
Circles.
Walking in circles,
Walking in,
Walking in.
I used to wanna run,
I used to wanna climb up to the sun.
Ambition is killing me,
And you transcend up my knee,
Oh,
Feel so cheap.
Walking in circles,
Circles.
Walking in circles,
Walking in,
Walking in.
It’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
Circles,
See them?
It’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
A feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more (More, more, more)
And more (More, more, more)
And more (More, more, more)
And more.
Walking in circles,
Circles.
Walking in circles,
Walking in,
Walking in.
It’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
It’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
12 – Al Genina
Fell asleep today,
North Ontario.
Woke up far away,
Place I didn’t know.
A woman smiled at me, she said, “Welcome to my home.”
Life is different here she said, “It’s not camouflaged with Gold.”
And hey, leave the light on for me.
And hey, leave the light on for me.
Might not make it home,
Can’t leave here tonight.
Not afraid to live,
Not afraid to die.
And hey, leave the light on for me.
And hey, leave the light on for me.

Or you can try and smother it,
But it burns,
Oh it burns.
This is for everything we had,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you and this is for us.
Oh will you break my fall?
Oh when I climb too high.
I always lose my nerve,
It happens every time.
Oh will you bring me home,
When I’m barely alive?
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you and this is for us.
This is for everything we had,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you and this is for us.
Oh will you break my fall?
Oh when I climb too high.
I always lose my nerve,
It happens every time.
Oh will you bring me home,
When I’m barely alive?
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you and this is for us.
And this is for you and this is for us.
And this is for you and this is for us.
And this is for us.
07 – Boy
It’s time for forgiveness,
It’s time for relief,
It’s time that we’ve wasted,
And it’s time that we need.
It’s time for decisions,
It’s time to be brave,
It’s the time of your life,
Don’t let it slip away.
Boy,
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
It’s time that we borrow,
And it’s time that we bleed,
It’s time that will cure us,
You just gotta believe.
There’s a warning up ahead,
The alarm’s gone off again,
But the sun will fill the sky,
Fill the sky.
Boy,
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
And boy,
Help is coming to get you out of here.
Don’t carry the weight of the world,
The weight of the world,
And the weight of the world.
Just when you think you’re done,
The war can never be won,
I’ll be there to pick you up,
And dust you off,
And bring you home,
And make you feel loved.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
And boy,
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
And boy,
Help is coming,
I’ll get you out of here.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
Weight of the world,
And the weight of the world,
The weight of the world,
And the weight of the world.
And tonight is a fireball,
And tonight you’re not alone,
And tonight we start again,
Tonight the best is yet to come.
08 – Apology
You, you’re me.
I’m the lock, you’re the key.
You’re the air, the air I breathe.
But tonight I’m choking.
You are my love,
You are my life.
You, you’re the sea.
I’m the waves crashing on the ground,
The ground under your feet.
I’m a liar, a thief,
And I’m an apology.
You are my love.
You are my life.
You are my love.
You are my life.
Don’t go,
Don’t go,
Don’t go,
Don’t go,
Don’t go.
09 – World on a String
I see the world on a string,
It’s hanging from a wire,
It gets tangled up and spun around,
Like the truth inside a liar.
Sometimes you wanna get high,
And sometimes you run and hide,
Cause it eats you up and spits you out,
It swallows you alive.
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (No feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life,
You’ll bring me back to life.
I see the world on a beach,
It’s sinking in the sand,
Oh it tries to suck you down with it,
You better get out while you can.
Sometimes you wanna scream out,
And sometimes you just can’t,
Cause your lips feel like they’re glued together,
And no one gives a damn.
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (No feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life,
And you’ll bring me back to life.
This is the world on a string,
There’s no songs left to sing,
Just sing,
Sing.
I see the good,
I see the bad,
The revolution.
I see the happy,
I see the sad,
The absolution.
I see hate,
And I see love,
When the world’s on a string.
I see the good,
I see the bad,
The revolution.
I see the happy,
I see the sad,
The absolution.
I see hate,
And I see love,
When the world’s on a string.
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (No feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life,
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (No feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life,
And you’ll bring me back to life,
And you’ll bring me back to life.
10 – Don’t Stop
Can’t get out of bed,
Straighten up my head,
I swear this is goodbye.
I feel like lying here,
I feel like dieing here,
And only you can save me tonight.
I felt this earth spin and crash,
The end of the world shouldn’t come so fast.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
I feel powerless,
I feel underdressed,
I swear this is goodbye.
I don’t wanna go,
I just seem to blow everything that I love tonight.
I’ve been hiding here,
I’ve been lying here,
Watching life pass by.
I want you to know,
I want you to know,
I’d die for you,
I’d die for you.
I felt this earth spin and crash,
The end of the world shouldn’t come so fast.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
Everyone’s losing their minds,
Healthy in paranoid times.
I sit on my prints for tonight,
It’s never goodbye,
It’s never,
Goodbye.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
Oh no one will ever compare,
Will ever be better,
Better,
Better than you,
Better than you,
Better than you,
Better than you,
Better than you.
11 – Walking in Circles
I used to wanna dream,
I used to wanna scream at the top of my lungs.
Like a diamond in a ring,
Or the song you love to sing,
The shine is gone.
Walking in circles,
Circles.
Walking in circles,
Walking in,
Walking in.
I used to wanna run,
I used to wanna climb up to the sun.
Ambition is killing me,
And you transcend up my knee,
Oh,
Feel so cheap.
Walking in circles,
Circles.
Walking in circles,
Walking in,
Walking in.
It’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
Circles,
See them?
It’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
A feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more (More, more, more)
And more (More, more, more)
And more (More, more, more)
And more.
Walking in circles,
Circles.
Walking in circles,
Walking in,
Walking in.
It’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
It’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
12 – Al Genina
Fell asleep today,
North Ontario.
Woke up far away,
Place I didn’t know.
A woman smiled at me, she said, “Welcome to my home.”
Life is different here she said, “It’s not camouflaged with Gold.”
And hey, leave the light on for me.
And hey, leave the light on for me.
Might not make it home,
Can’t leave here tonight.
Not afraid to live,
Not afraid to die.
And hey, leave the light on for me.
And hey, leave the light on for me.
"I'll never get over you."

Updated Lyrics:
Angels Losing Sleep
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone,
Now you’re afraid of yourself.
Over your shoulder
You have to watch
Heaven fall into hell.
Looks like your boat’s about to sink,
So it’s time to prepare.
Even the angels are losing sleep,
And the sidewalks are bare.
It’s like the calm before the storm,
You better swim.
Just like it’s cold before it’s warm,
You’ll get back here again.
And I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait 'til you fall from grace.
It’s the calm before the storm,
It’s there and then it’s gone.
Oh,
It looks like the war was in your head,
Not your heart.
Just when you think it’s figured out,
Well it all falls apart.
It’s like the calm before the storm,
You better swim.
Just like it’s cold before it’s warm,
You’ll get back here again.
And I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait 'til you fall from grace.
It’s the calm before the storm,
It’s there, then it’s gone.
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone...
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone...
Looks like the war was in your head...
Looks like the war was in your head...
War was in your head.
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait 'til you fall from grace.
It’s the calm before the storm.
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait till you fall from grace.
It’s the calm before the storm.
It's there, then it's...
Gone
Will the Future Blame Us?
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
And, are you disappointed?
And have we destroyed it, I...
Well I’ve been stumbling down this long and winding road.
And these times are changing,
And it’s complicated, I...
Well I don’t want to know.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore, anymore.
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
And is it getting better?
And could we live forever, I...
And I’m not sure what the hell we’re fighting for.
And does the money make us?
Or will the future blame us, I...
Oh, I don’t want to know.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore, anymore.
When you’re tired and alone,
And you feel like letting go,
Come home.
When you can’t take anymore,
When you’re beat up and ignored,
Come home.
The sun inside the hole,
The past that you don't know,
You're a long, long way from home.
Their are things you need to know,
The answers leave you cold.
You’re a long, long way from home.
And summer’s coming back,
And It brings a second chance.
If you’re not part of this,
Then I don’t want to know.
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore, anymore.
When you’re tired and alone,
And you feel like letting go,
Come home.
When you can’t take anymore,
And you’re beat up and ignored,
Come home.
I’m coming home.
Picture
Waiting by the telephone,
Breathing through a giant rubber hose,
God only knows.
Photographs of you and me,
Pictures of the friends you used to know.
Where did they go?
And don’t take my picture down,
And don’t erase everything that we had.
Don’t think I let you down,
And though I might be gone,
We’ll meet again.
Can’t find you…
So I’ll call your name.
Riding on this satellite,
Sun faded and sweaty,
But that’s alright,
Cause I’m still alive.
Always stranded in this memory,
Your mouth is wide open,
You can’t scream.
Oh, you can’t scream.
And don’t take my picture down,
And don’t erase everything that we had.
Don’t think I let you down,
And though I might be gone,
We’ll meet again.
Can’t find you…
So I’ll call your name.
Please pick up the phone,
Please pick up the phone,
Please pick up the phone,
Please pick up the phone.
Wanted you to know,
I wanted you to know,
I wanted you to know,
I wanted you to know...
And don’t take my picture down,
And don’t erase everything that we had.
Don’t think I let you down,
And though I might be gone,
We’ll meet again.
Can’t find you…
So I’ll call your name.
Where Are You?
Hey you,
Have you felt like this before?
You got style,
But ain’t got soul.
Are you happy now,
Are you happy... tonight?
Or did punk rock get it right?
Is there no future in sight?
Oh, is it different now,
Is it different?
Come on,
Come on, come on, come on.
Where are you?
Where are you?
I’m kicking and screaming,
You’re not listening.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in,
Has lied to me.
This could be the best day of my life!
The best day of my life.
Hey you,
Have you got everything you want?
Or do you want more than you got?
Is it different now,
Is it different... tonight?
Or did Jesus get it right?
Or is the devil behind the light?
Are you happy now,
Are you happy?
Come on,
Come on, come on, come on.
Where are you?
Where are you?
I’m kicking and screaming,
You’re not listening.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in,
Has lied to me.
This could be the best day of my life!
Sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Everyone’s waiting for our luck to change.
Sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Everyone’s waiting, waiting...
‘Cause this could be the best day,
And this could be the best day,
And this could be the best day, best day, best day...
Come on,
Come on, come on, come on.
Where are you?
Where are you?
I’m kicking and screaming,
You’re not listening.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in,
Has lied to me.
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day, best day, best day...
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day, best day, best day...
Of your life!
Wipe That Smile Off Your Face
It’s just the two of us,
A silver cross,
And some strength that you won’t believe.
See, I’m not your friend,
And I won’t pretend,
That I've come here for peace.
Well I’m not afraid,
I’m gonna make you pay,
I’m gonna wipe that smile off your face.
And this is war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
The time has come,
To drop the bomb,
On all the pain you’ve been selling.
See, I don’t like you,
Or your attitude,
Or the company that you keep.
And this is war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
And this is war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
Oh no.
Oh.
Oh.
(There's always something,
Always something, something...
There's always something,
Always something, something...)
It's just the two of us,
A silver cross,
And some strength that you won’t believe.
Well I’m not afraid,
I’m gonna make you pay,
I’m gonna wipe that smile off your...
Face!
It's war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
And this is war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
Oh, and wipe that smile,
And wipe that smile,
I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face.
And wipe that smile,
And wipe that smile...
I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face...
No, oh.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no.
No, No.
Love and Trust
Mother, will you think of me in your prayers?
This twenty-first century is a mess.
Oh, you can try and fix it,
But it breaks.
Oh you can try and love it,
But it hates.
Oh, it hates.
This is for everything we have,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you,
And this is for us.
ather, will you comfort me if I call?
This crazy world has lost its mind,
It’s our fault.
Oh, you can try and straighten it,
It turns, it turns, it turns.
Oh, you can try and smother it,
But it burns.
Oh, it burns.
This is for everything we have,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you,

Ambition is killing me,
The new trends,
And the money,
All feel so cheap.

Al Genina (Leave the Light On)
Fell asleep today,
North Ontario.
Woke up far away,
A place I didn’t know.
A woman smiled at me,
She said "Welcome to my home."
"Life is different here," she said.
"It's not camouflaged with gold."
And hey,
Leave the light on for me.
And hey,
Leave the light on for me.
(Spooky choir sounds)
Might not make it home,
I can’t leave here tonight.
Not afraid to live,
Not afraid to die.
And hey,
Leave a light on for me.
And hey,
Leave a light on for me.
Angels Losing Sleep
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone,
Now you’re afraid of yourself.
Over your shoulder
You have to watch
Heaven fall into hell.
Looks like your boat’s about to sink,
So it’s time to prepare.
Even the angels are losing sleep,
And the sidewalks are bare.
It’s like the calm before the storm,
You better swim.
Just like it’s cold before it’s warm,
You’ll get back here again.
And I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait 'til you fall from grace.
It’s the calm before the storm,
It’s there and then it’s gone.
Oh,
It looks like the war was in your head,
Not your heart.
Just when you think it’s figured out,
Well it all falls apart.
It’s like the calm before the storm,
You better swim.
Just like it’s cold before it’s warm,
You’ll get back here again.
And I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait 'til you fall from grace.
It’s the calm before the storm,
It’s there, then it’s gone.
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone...
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone...
Looks like the war was in your head...
Looks like the war was in your head...
War was in your head.
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait 'til you fall from grace.
It’s the calm before the storm.
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait,
I’ll wait, I’ll wait till you fall from grace.
It’s the calm before the storm.
It's there, then it's...
Gone
Will the Future Blame Us?
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
And, are you disappointed?
And have we destroyed it, I...
Well I’ve been stumbling down this long and winding road.
And these times are changing,
And it’s complicated, I...
Well I don’t want to know.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore, anymore.
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
And is it getting better?
And could we live forever, I...
And I’m not sure what the hell we’re fighting for.
And does the money make us?
Or will the future blame us, I...
Oh, I don’t want to know.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore, anymore.
When you’re tired and alone,
And you feel like letting go,
Come home.
When you can’t take anymore,
When you’re beat up and ignored,
Come home.
The sun inside the hole,
The past that you don't know,
You're a long, long way from home.
Their are things you need to know,
The answers leave you cold.
You’re a long, long way from home.
And summer’s coming back,
And It brings a second chance.
If you’re not part of this,
Then I don’t want to know.
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore.
And I...
Don’t ask why anymore, anymore.
When you’re tired and alone,
And you feel like letting go,
Come home.
When you can’t take anymore,
And you’re beat up and ignored,
Come home.
I’m coming home.
Picture
Waiting by the telephone,
Breathing through a giant rubber hose,
God only knows.
Photographs of you and me,
Pictures of the friends you used to know.
Where did they go?
And don’t take my picture down,
And don’t erase everything that we had.
Don’t think I let you down,
And though I might be gone,
We’ll meet again.
Can’t find you…
So I’ll call your name.
Riding on this satellite,
Sun faded and sweaty,
But that’s alright,
Cause I’m still alive.
Always stranded in this memory,
Your mouth is wide open,
You can’t scream.
Oh, you can’t scream.
And don’t take my picture down,
And don’t erase everything that we had.
Don’t think I let you down,
And though I might be gone,
We’ll meet again.
Can’t find you…
So I’ll call your name.
Please pick up the phone,
Please pick up the phone,
Please pick up the phone,
Please pick up the phone.
Wanted you to know,
I wanted you to know,
I wanted you to know,
I wanted you to know...
And don’t take my picture down,
And don’t erase everything that we had.
Don’t think I let you down,
And though I might be gone,
We’ll meet again.
Can’t find you…
So I’ll call your name.
Where Are You?
Hey you,
Have you felt like this before?
You got style,
But ain’t got soul.
Are you happy now,
Are you happy... tonight?
Or did punk rock get it right?
Is there no future in sight?
Oh, is it different now,
Is it different?
Come on,
Come on, come on, come on.
Where are you?
Where are you?
I’m kicking and screaming,
You’re not listening.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in,
Has lied to me.
This could be the best day of my life!
The best day of my life.
Hey you,
Have you got everything you want?
Or do you want more than you got?
Is it different now,
Is it different... tonight?
Or did Jesus get it right?
Or is the devil behind the light?
Are you happy now,
Are you happy?
Come on,
Come on, come on, come on.
Where are you?
Where are you?
I’m kicking and screaming,
You’re not listening.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in,
Has lied to me.
This could be the best day of my life!
Sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Everyone’s waiting for our luck to change.
Sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Everyone’s waiting, waiting...
‘Cause this could be the best day,
And this could be the best day,
And this could be the best day, best day, best day...
Come on,
Come on, come on, come on.
Where are you?
Where are you?
I’m kicking and screaming,
You’re not listening.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in,
Has lied to me.
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day, best day, best day...
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day, best day, best day...
Of your life!
Wipe That Smile Off Your Face
It’s just the two of us,
A silver cross,
And some strength that you won’t believe.
See, I’m not your friend,
And I won’t pretend,
That I've come here for peace.
Well I’m not afraid,
I’m gonna make you pay,
I’m gonna wipe that smile off your face.
And this is war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
The time has come,
To drop the bomb,
On all the pain you’ve been selling.
See, I don’t like you,
Or your attitude,
Or the company that you keep.
And this is war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
And this is war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
Oh no.
Oh.
Oh.
(There's always something,
Always something, something...
There's always something,
Always something, something...)
It's just the two of us,
A silver cross,
And some strength that you won’t believe.
Well I’m not afraid,
I’m gonna make you pay,
I’m gonna wipe that smile off your...
Face!
It's war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
And this is war...
And I'm gonna,
Wipe that smile off your face.
Oh, and wipe that smile,
And wipe that smile,
I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face.
And wipe that smile,
And wipe that smile...
I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face...
No, oh.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no.
No, No.
Love and Trust
Mother, will you think of me in your prayers?
This twenty-first century is a mess.
Oh, you can try and fix it,
But it breaks.
Oh you can try and love it,
But it hates.
Oh, it hates.
This is for everything we have,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you,
And this is for us.
ather, will you comfort me if I call?
This crazy world has lost its mind,
It’s our fault.
Oh, you can try and straighten it,
It turns, it turns, it turns.
Oh, you can try and smother it,
But it burns.
Oh, it burns.
This is for everything we have,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you,
And this is for us.
Oh, will you break my fall,
Oh, when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve,
It happens every time.
Oh, will you bring me home,
Oh, when I’m barely alive?
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you,
And this is for us.
This is for everything we have,
It’s the good and it’s the bad.
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you,
And this is for us.
Oh, will you break my fall,
Oh, when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve,
It happens every time.
Oh, will you bring me home,
When I’m barely alive?
It’s the state of love and trust.
And this is for you,
And this is for us.
And this is for you,
And this is for us.
And this is for you,
And this is for us.
And this is for us...
Boy
It’s time for forgiveness,
It’s time for relief.
It’s time that we’ve wasted,
And it’s time that we need.
It’s time for decision,
It’s time to be brave.
It’s the time of your life,
Don’t let it slip away, yeah.
Boy,
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere.
Don’t carry the weight of the world,
Boy.
It’s time that we borrow,
And it’s time that we bleed.
It’s time that will cure us,
You just gotta believe, yeah.
There’s a warning up ahead,
The alarms gone off again.
But the sun will fill the sky...
Fill the sky.
Boy,
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
And boy...
Help is coming,
I'll get you out of here.
Don’t carry the weight of the world,
The weight of the world,
And the weight of the world.
Just when you think you’re done,
The war can never be won, I...
I’ll be there to pick you up,
And dust you off,
And bring you home,
And make you feel loved...
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
And boy,
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere.
Don’t carry the weight of the world.
And boy,
Help is coming,
I’ll get you out of here.
Don’t carry the weight of the world,
the weight of the world.
And the weight of the world.
The weight of the world.
And the weight of the world.
And tonight,
Is a fireball.
And tonight,
Oh, you’re not alone.
And tonight,
We start again.
Tonight,
all the best is yet to come.
Apology
You,
You’re me.
I’m the lock,
You’re the key.
You’re the air,
The air,
I breathe.
But tonight,
I’m choking.
You are my life.
You are my life.
You,
You’re the sea.
I’m the waves crashing,
On the ground,
The ground under your feet.
I’m a liar,
A thief,
And I'm,
An apology.
You are my life.
You are my life.
You are my life.
You are my life.
Don’t go.
Don’t go.
Don’t go.
Don’t go.
Don’t go.
The World on A String
I see the world on a string,
It’s hanging from a wire.
It gets tangled up and spun around,
Like the truth inside a liar.
Sometimes you wanna get high,
And sometimes you run and hide.
'Cause it eats you up and spits you out,
It swallows you alive.
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (no feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life.
You’ll bring me back to life.
I see the world on a beach,
It’s sinking in the sand.
Oh it tries to suck you down with it,
Better get out while you can.
Sometimes you wanna scream out,
And sometimes you just can’t.
'Cause your lips feel like they're glued together,
And no one gives a damn!
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (no feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life.
And you’ll bring me back to life.
This is the world on a string,
There’s no songs left to sing (no songs left to sing).
Just sing,
Sing!
I see the good,
I see the bad,
the revolution.
I see the happy,
I see the sad.
The absolution.
I see hate,
And I see love,
When the world’s on a string.
I see the good,
I see the bad,
the revolution.
I see the happy,
I see the sad.
The absolution.
I see hate,
And I see love,
When the world’s on a string.
Oh!
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (no feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life.
When I’m down on my knees,
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding),
You’ll bring me back to life.
When there’s no songs to sing,
And no flowers to bring (no feeling),
And you’ll bring me back to life.
And you’ll bring me back to life.
And you’ll bring me back to life.
Don't Stop
Can’t get out of bed,
Straighten up my head,
I swear this is goodbye.
I feel like lying here,
I feel like dying here,
And only you can save me tonight.
I felt this earth spin and crash,
The end of the world shouldn’t come so fast.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
I feel powerless,
I feel underdressed,
I swear this is goodbye.
I don’t want to go,
I just seem to blow everything that I love tonight.
I’ve been hiding here,
I’ve been lying here,
Watching life pass me by.
I want you to hold,
I want you to know,
I’d die for you.
I’d die for you.
I felt this earth spin and crash,
The end of the world shouldn’t come so fast.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better,
Better,
Better than you.
Everyone’s losing their minds,
Healthy in paranoid times.
I've said all my prayers for tonight,
It’s never goodbye,
It’s never goodbye...
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
No one will ever compare,
Will ever be better than you.
Don’t stop sucking me in,
Making me come back to you.
Oh, no one will ever compare,
Will ever be better,
Better,
Better than you.
Better than you.
Better than you.
Better than you.
Better than you.
Walking in Circles
I used to wanna dream,
I used to wanna scream at the top of my lungs.
Like a diamond in a ring,
Or the song you love to sing,
The shine is gone.
I'm walking in circles (circles).
Walking in circles (walking in, walking in).
I used to wanna run,
I used to wanna climb up to the sun.
Ambition is killing me,
The new trends,
And the money,
All feel so cheap.
I, I, I...
I'm walking in circles (circles).
Walking in circles (walking in, walking in).
And it’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
(Is there a voice?
Save it!)
It’s a feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more.
A feeling that you know,
A feeling that explodes,
A feeling you want more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more,
And more (more, more, more),
And more (more, more, more),
And more (more, more, more),
And more,
I'm walking in circles (circles).
Walking in circles (walking in, walking in)
It’s a feeling that you know (know),
A feeling that explodes (explodes),
A feeling you want more (you want more),
And more,
And more,
And more.
It’s a feeling that you know (know),
A feeling that explodes (explodes),
A feeling you want more (more),
And more,
And more,
And more.
Al Genina (Leave the Light On)
Fell asleep today,
North Ontario.
Woke up far away,
A place I didn’t know.
A woman smiled at me,
She said "Welcome to my home."
"Life is different here," she said.
"It's not camouflaged with gold."
And hey,
Leave the light on for me.
And hey,
Leave the light on for me.
(Spooky choir sounds)
Might not make it home,
I can’t leave here tonight.
Not afraid to live,
Not afraid to die.
And hey,
Leave a light on for me.
And hey,
Leave a light on for me.
