Verse: I hug you goodbye And live in your hair My lips on your cheek They’re touching your hair I melt in your smile And float in your wake I could live in your hair I can live in your hair Chorus: I want you now, we’re both quite strange I loved you on the Astral Plane A light shined down upon your face Gone in a sigh Verse: I bury my head And live in your hair It flows like rain I live in your hair I hang on every word And live in your hair I live in your hair I live in your hair Refrain: I could live in your hair, I could live in your hair I could live in your hair, I could live in your hair I don’t have a care, I live in your hair There’s no world outside, I live in your hair

Vintage clothes and long dark hair She made me feel I was the only one there We drank champagne and listened to tunes Something Else and the Village Green too Her eyes and smile they could light up the gloom Now I’m alone in my comfortable room Chorus: Just when I thought that we had it She canceled again Just when I thought that we had it She’s in action, She’s in Action Poetic notes with no reply It’s like I was the only one trying Then she appears with her glowing face Touched my arm with an engaging grace She asked me back to her place And then she canceled I was lost in space
3.
When I’m slipping and I’m outta place I’ve been moving in and out of pace There’s a place for me and you With nothing to do Chorus: There’s a cloudless sky in Temescal Canyon It’s endless blue There’s a cloudless sky in Temescal Canyon It’s Endless blue When I’m thinking and I see a face It’s of you and my heart can race There’s a place for me and you With nothing to do

Block out the sun, to look at the stars And then the misty dawn, when the days are long I stared into space, the cold mist hit my face I love the misty dawn, when the days are long A lucky victim of circumstance, a long lunch my heart danced I love the misty dawn, when the days are long We talked through the day, never went all the way I love the misty dawn, when the days are long Well we talked through the night and we never fight I love the misty dawn, when the nights are long And we talked about us, then I ran for the bus I love the misty dawn, when the nights are long End: Your voice makes me feel calm, I love the misty dawn

I Was Gone 03:32
I never took a helping hand I always thought I’d understand The days were grey the nights were long I never thought that I was wrong Always rocking back and forth Through the window deep in thought I couldn’t sleep until I had to wake I thought I was smiling but I was strange Chorus: A dark long journey all night long I thought it was real but I was gone I felt the wall, my mind was crashed In my bed the future flashed In my wake life went by It took a while before I tried Chorus: A dark long journey all night long I thought it was real but I was gone

Verse: Tennis racket rock guitars Hot as the sun Playing to the mirror, stares Just having fun Football hats, the neighbor’s cat A window to run Posters on the wall, we crawl Further away Chorus: In my room I’m just pulled further away In my room inside my mind I’ll stay Till some other day Or Tis a crying shame Verse: Got myself a real guitar and Learned in a sec It was waiting for my hands To pull it and wreck it Everything that came before Irrelevant now Downloading sounds Creating frowns No one could possibly understand
8.
First day at school Stiff shirt tight shoes Homework I don’t know The teacher thought I was slow Chorus: We’re all complicated cats We’ve fallen off the tracks We’re all complicated cats We’re running out the back door First got bass and drums Then added keys for fun School was such a waste Not for our complicated ways Refrain: Walking with our tails in the air We’re hot and cold with complicated flair Skip the milk we’re drinking beer We swagger in the place of the fear

Transcend 01:56

She never answers my calls She’s gone dark She won’t respond to my notes She’s gone dark It sets my mind ablaze And grows dark It leaves a hole in my heart She’s gone dark Chorus: You can’t live without love The world is dark With Sadness I can’t think bad of her though She’s still dark I think of all the good times She’s still dark I start to pick up the phone I feel blank I leave a message And I think
11.
The story’s not over It hasn’t even begun He’s still sitting there staring It’s his way of having some fun Mercurochrome it didn’t sting But it’s not so good for you now Are we caught in a loop? I just can’t figure out how How are you sitting there standing? The Watchband just couldn’t be wrong Just where in the world is he Don’t know I checked he was gone I could keep on going But that just wouldn’t make sense I thought it was a wall But it’s really a fence The story’s not over It hasn’t even begun He’s sitting there smiling It isn’t funny to anyone
