Stars Align 03:36
Held your breath Saw you do it Saved your soul Just to bruise it But there's a tone That's moving on in spirit Our time expired Only when we feared it Oh, I've been waiting on a sign Oh When is it gonna come Oh I've been waiting on a sign Oh When is it gonna come When the stars align Everybody says the stars align Do the stars really align Is that true For me and you Knotted up I can't untie it You lost your trust Just to find it In a tone that's moving on in spirit Our time expired only when we feared it Oh Ive been waiting on a sign Oh When is it gonna come Oh Ive been waiting on a sign Oh When is it gonna come When the stars align Everybody says the stars align Do the stars really align Is that true For me and you Let the stars align Go on Let the stars align Let the stars align Let it be true For me and you

My Man 05:20
Don't wanna generalize Insult this life Turn you into a sunny day Show me how your lightning strikes Did it burn your eyes I wanna see the scars It left on your face When I said our fears Were just made to be discovered I did not yet know the Demons love uncovers Now you're my man I can't avoid them Now that you're my man I've got stars in my eyes again And I won't tell a soul Although I'm sure they know About the sweet love we make When we're just hanging around In some strange new town Waiting for the band to play Why do you keep apologizing Why do I keep apologizing too Why do we keep apologizing What was it so wrong Why do you keep apologizing Why do I keep apologizing too Why do we keep apologizing Nothing was so wrong We hide what we do

Hold On You 04:57
Honking horns Spinning wheels Let me go to sleep when it gets dark I wanna feel how the dream time feels Yeah maybe I am checking out I've got this wide open heart And there's just too many signs and symbols Speeding down Santa Monica Boulevard Traffic is moving Although I try and stand so still My heart is like a wheel But there are friends to see Lives inside the books I read I don't need no doctor To tell me what the hell has happened to me Cuz this is the moment to be ceased We're all just waiting to be new And I don't need no piece of paper To reach out my hands And get my hold on you I really wanna get a hold on you I really wanna get a hold on you I really wanna get a hold on you I really wanna get a hold on, hold on, hold on you Oh well now Traffic keeps moving Try as I might you know I can't stand still My heart is like a wheel Try and keep on, try and keep on, Try and keep on, try and keep on Try and keep on moving, Try and keep on moving, Try and keep on moving But I really wanna get a hold on you I really wanna get a hold on you I really wanna get a hold on you I really wanna get a hold on, hold on, hold on you Oh well now Traffic keeps moving Try as I might you know I can't stand still My heart is like a wheel Traffic keeps moving Try as I might you know I can't stand still When my heart is like a wheel

Puritan 03:54
There's a puritan who lives in my head Who wants to lay roses down on every single word you've said Who wants to be guided by Some strange lullaby She swore she heard you singing She wants to coat every wall in a white coat of paint She wants to go down on you As an offering to the saints She wants to put her back into Them things that been breaking you All in the name of healing But she knows something's missing Cowgirls, cowgirls Go on and get your blues Cowgirls, cowgirls Go on and get your Go on and get your blues There's a woman in me That sees the fire While the rest see smoke She hears the painful truth At the root of your dirty jokes She wants to claim owner to The man sleeping inside of you While the boy runs wicked But she knows something's missing Cowgirls, cowgirls Go on and get your blues Cowgirls, cowgirls Go on and get your Go on and get your blues You know I would have gone over there To see you on the west side We'd lay our weapons down I hope you meet me some time You know I would have gone over there To see you on the east side We'd lay our weapons down I hope you see me some time Cowgirls,Cowgirls Go on and get your blues Cowgirls, cowgirls Go on and get your Go on and get your blues

Words are a tool I've been trying to use Careful now I have healed And I have bruised I've been slinging my words Like a slack-jawed fool Slinging my words Just to hit you, brother But I won't hold on I won't hold on When you're pulled by the weather I'll just sing Fly on Don't let me keep ya Fly on If the winds got something it's got to teach ya Well you won't know the light 'Till you're burned by the sun You won't know the dark 'Till you dig underground I just sing Fly on Fly on When you're pulled by the weather Well there's a magic here If you'd only believe There' s a magic in and outside Everything that you see That makes me wonder Who are you And who am I Well I can see me there When I look deep into your eyes Well could we hold on Could we both hold on When we change with the weather Or will we just sing Fly on Don't let me keep ya Fly on If the winds got something it's got to teach ya Well you won't know the light 'Till you're burned by the sun You won't know the dark 'Till you dig underground I just sing Fly on Fly on When you're pulled by the weather Well there's a letter hanging there About sixteen years old It's been bleeding as it hangs Its been screaming there on my wall Well I I took the money Now I earn my cash But I can't seem to make All these pennies stretch So I roll on and I roll on and I roll on But my days are numbered And I roll on and I roll on and I roll on But my days are numbered And I roll on and I roll on and I roll on But my days are numbered But my days are numbered But my days are numbered So I just roll on You and I We'll both roll on When we're pulled by the weather

And I'm reminded of the time that I was blinded by the sun. It was a welcome change from the sight of you hanging Like a willow off the arm of yet another visionary Prophetess east van punk I didn't stand a chance I couldn't stand at all You looked ok with the others You looked great on your own It was 2002 and you couldn't be bothered to say, 'hello' or 'goodbye' Or stand the 'test of time' - you did, I just tried to separate an ocean from these tears we cried....woo Where did you get that line? Where did you get that look? Where did you get that penchant for destruction in the way you talk? Where did you get that ride? Where did you get that rocket? Where did you get that painter in your pocket? Hey, there's Christine And there's where she could've been The summer season was cheap Birds of prey stick together and, hey, so do we...go I didn't stand a chance I didn't stand at all You looked ok with the others You looked great by yourself It was 2002 and you needed reminding to stay alive And so did I, but at least I tried to fall upon that sword and never look back Where did you get that line? Where did you get that look? Where did you get that penchant for destruction in the way you talk? Where did you get that ride? Where did you get that rocket? Where did you get that painter in your pocket? I didn't stand a chance I didn't stand at all You looked ok with the others
