TUMBLEDOWN HEARTS Snap off the light immediately Leaving the outside suspended We've got the itch and the remedy - italicized Now you and I got here independently So many breaks to be mended Considering the possibility - romanticized Tumbledown hearts Call the tune Falling sideways around the room Here in the dark not a moment too soon Tumbledown Hearts Another toast for what's up ahead Love on the rocks left behind us Killing the pain with every shot - hypnotized Consequences led us here We make the best of disaster No critiques - nothin' to fear - we empathize Tumbledown hearts Call the tune Falling sideways around the room Here in the dark not a moment too soon Tumbledown hearts So we fell down - came unzipped Love was draggin' us around, by the lips Tumbledown hearts Call the tune Falling sideways around the room Here in the dark not a moment too soon Tumbledown hearts Tumbledown hearts Call the tune Falling sideways around the room Here in the dark not a moment too soon Tumbledown hearts Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh -Oh- Oh - Ohhhh Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh -Oh

A PLACE OF NO PLACE Tell us we're unpatriotic We question despicable deeds We disagree with your rhetoric So you tell us we can leave You're keeping children in cages Doubling down on your hateful speech While we're all chasing the rabbit You commit your crimes with ease We'll march through hateful racism Storm through your gates of Hell Cause we came from a place of no place We should have ever been And here we go again There's no justifying your motives Your ignorance, or your fears Can't hide behind your scripture You'll find no excuses there For judgment is without mercy To those who have shown none So I pray you learn to love kindness And humbly walk with your God We'll march through hateful racism Storm through your gates of Hell Cause we came from a place of no place We should have ever been And here we go again Don't care where it is we came from Our freedom you disavow The rights we spilled our blood for In the clutches of your death shroud We'll march through hateful racism Storm through your gates of Hell Cause we came from a place of no place We should have ever been And we ain't goin' back again Oh no no no Ain't goin' back again Oh no - Oh no We ain't never Ain't gonna let cha' Can't put us back again Oh no no no no No - we ain't never Never gonna let cha' We ain't never Ever goin' back again We ain't never Never goin' back again Ain't goin' back again

WITHIN CRYING DISTANCE Are you thinkin' about Memphis How you left here with nothin’ to lose Cause your were thinkin' about goin' home Whatever home means to you Forget about our fantasy That's not likely to happen anytime soon I find it hard to forget Bet cha' find it so hard to forget too And I feel your shadow A world away A world away Within crying distance A world away A world away from me Do you still see? I can't erase my memory I could tell there was some sad story Too tender, too soon To pull it from your I feel your shadow A world away A world away Within crying distance A world away A world away from me Doesn't mean I love you Doesn't mean you love me too Ain't no use in me hiding My heart spilled out for you Ohhhhhhhh I feel your shadow A world away A world away Within crying distance A world away A world away I feel your shadow A world away A world away Within crying distance A world away A world away from me Oh - you are so far away from me Oh love - so far, far, far away from me

AIN'T IT PRETTY TO THINK SO? I don't understand the question Your unemotional monotone If a secret is calling me No objection Go ahead Bring it on You can feel a real connection Kept within you so carefully A heady cocktail in a new direction Don't hesitate Drink it in with me If I could find you in that fleeting moment When the past has let you go We might have a piece of a chance But as Hemingway said "Ain't it pretty to think so?" We move in opposite directions Finding ourselves back in the same spot Staring blankly into each other Looking for what we have not Stoic resignation Drunken empty promises One more regrettable hangover One more aching head If I could find you in that fleeting moment When the past has let you go We might have a piece of a chance But as Hemingway said "Ain't it pretty to think so?" Give me true confessions Tell me lies from your telephone I can feed your deep obsessions We ain't foolin' anyone If I could find you in that fleeting moment When the past has let you go We might have a piece of a chance But as Hemingway said "Ain't it pretty to think so?" But as Hemingway said "Ain't it pretty to think so?"

SKYWRITING (TASMANIA) Tasmania - I laid my eyes on you Your ice blue water coast line Mona's graceful hues Still running pictures through my mind We fly across the sea On some uncharted journey Gypsies wandering As my heart melts My soul sings Like the waves that crash into the rocks below me Ever changing No predicting Like clouds of thought Our lives are all Our lives are all - Skywriting The hum of voices around me It's almost like a lullaby Cars circle, and circle, and circle Waiting for passengers And green lights - Oh Oh Oh Oh Rough edges everywhere Is this who I am? Why should I give a damn? Why do I care? These never ending questions Will they ever let me rest Or be with me until I die Until I die - Until I die?

FUNNY WAY OF SHOWING IT You tell me you love me I think maybe you don't Cause you talk to me like I'm a second class citizen Cept' when there's somethin' you want You turn on your charm And I'm your sugar and spice now It's the first time since the last time you got laid Yeah - you act so gallant Forgive me if I don't believe you Deceive me once The shame is on you Profess your love like a Shakespeare, Romeo I'll keep my words simple and few Oh you You got a funny way of showing it You seem so content Like a bookstore on Sunday Can I be your Barista Serve you cappuccino With a swirly little heart for you Forgive me if I don't believe you Deceive me once The shame is on you Profess your love like a Shakespeare, Romeo I'll keep my words simple and few Oh you You got a funny way of showing it Oh laugh it up Laugh it up Laugh it up Yeah I played your fool But now I've had enough Call me crazy Cause I called your bluff The last laugh is on you - Oh My fair weather friend What can I do for you now Can I pay off your loans Or let you wipe your feet on me One more time for good luck Forgive me if I don't believe you Deceive me once The same is on you Profess your love like a Shakespeare, Romeo I'll keep my words simple and few Oh you You got a funny way of showing it Oh you You've got some funny ways Yeah you Oh you got a funny way of showing it Oh you - you - Oh you Got a funny way of showing it Oh you

WHERE ARE WE GOING Tossed the handbook out your driver's window Glad you remembered to duck Not before I tore the page out About not giving a f*** Folded carefully in my pocket Anticipating the next trial There's a fierce woman behind the wheel With a renegade smile Where are we going Does it really exist Someplace worth knowing And I feel you insist Into the dark or into the light Love is all there is And that is where we're going I only know what love was to me Try not to think about There is someplace I'd rather be Someplace I'm living without Not too good at asking directions But somehow we'll find our way Take a look in the rear view mirror All the mistakes we've made Where are we going Does it really exist Someplace worth knowing And I feel you insist Into the dark or into the light Love is all there is And that is where we're going Running low on patience and time Stuck in the dreams that we dream Could use a bed and a good long blink And one more chance to redeem Careful what you wish for You may not know the cost You can plan your destination And still be lost Where are we going Does it really exist Someplace worth knowing Oh I feel you insist Into the dark or into the light Love is all there is And that is where we're going

BRIDGES I HAD TO BURN I - I still love you From a safe distance But the smoke from the fire Still burns in my eyes I've cried enough tears To quench this raging But there's no forgetting The bridges I had to burn Love Some kind of mental delusion We tell ourselves the story we want to hear Hate It's just the flip side What we dreamed for so long turned out not to be And I - I still love you From a safe distance But the smoke from the fire Still burns in my eyes I've cried enough tears To quench its raging But there's no forgetting The bridges I had to burn We Thought we were friends Till the moral compass pointed to the end Fractured Divided by dissension Irreconcilably different A tragedy And I - I still love you From a safe distance But the smoke from the fire Still burns in my eyes I've cried enough tears To quench this raging But there's no forgetting The bridges I had to burn I - I still love you From a safe distance But the smoke from the fire Still burns in my eyes I've cried enough tears To quench this raging But there's no forgetting The bridges I had to burn Oh Oh There's no forgetting The bridges I had to burn Oh no no no Well there's no forgetting The bridges I had to burn

EVERYONE IS OUT OF TUNE Everyone is out of tune We're not listening to each other Scream and shout Everyone is out of tune Sorry I got so upset Got up on my hind legs Didn't mean to bite your head off Right or wrong We're taking sides No collaboration No compromise Only dissonant conversation Everyone is out of tune (Out of tune) We're not listening to each other Scream and shout (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Everyone is out of tune Don't you think I know (Think I know) You're a fire hazard Waiting for a spark to blow All your false alarms Everyone is out of tune (Out of tune) We're not listening to each other Scream and shout (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Everyone is out of tune Crossed over the line When you tried to trap me Not gonna buy it this time You can't distract me Everyone is out of tune (Out of tune) We're not listening to each other Scream and shout (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Everyone is out of tune

Ending Again 02:58
ENDING AGAIN Haven't we tried To abide? Living apart and together And didn't we say Last time we strayed There's nothing else that compares? Here we are Ending again Maybe next time we'll know better How many times Has it been? Ending again Love rarified Hard lullabies Any such thing we imagined We circle dance Another chance Before we say good-bye Here we are Ending again Maybe next time we'll know better How many times Has is been? Ending again How many times Has it been? Ending again
