Cautious gambler, did you know, I once loved one like you before and I feel older, I feel wiser than I was How is it, I’ve taken steps backward? You’ve got this power, over me Could you see the ford or rest for the trees? Just stay with me, heads and hands and hips we move I, I just want to dance, dance with you Put another log on the fire doll I am so tired of this cold ass room The great divide has another side we’ve got to get to There is a part of my heart that lacks caution, There is a part of my tongue that lacks tact. The great divide has another side, I’ll get my sense back Life moves, so fluidly We let pass by us, our opportunities I can’t slow down, I don’t know how, steady me I, I just need an anchor on this raging sea.. It’s you and me

He’s as black as the night he was born in Dark and swift just like the ol cole train He attacks without no sign or warnin And every street corner’s marked with his territory’s claim And he’s got a bone to pick, yeah He carries a big stick, yeah You better grab your girl he’s run amuck He’s broken, many a poor man Beware of The Villainous Puck He reigns the darkest prince of Denton Bred for chaos, trained in man’s misdeed His stains too many to mention With one strike he brings grown men to their knees And he does it just for spite, yeah His bark’s as bad as bite If you ever cross his path you’re out of luck He’s broken, many a poor man, Beware of The Villainous Puck He will steal your ladies heart, and the food right of your plate He’ll tear a house apart, so you better lock the gate If you see him in the dark, then it’s already too late Beware, beware, beware… The Villainous Puck

Where You Go 05:42
Oh you, it’s true, I am a fool for you And do, you think it’s true If wherever you go you take me too And sweet, I’m off my feet for you And think, me complete If wherever you go you take me too Chorus: If you get airborne, take me too I’m scared of flight, but I’d give wings a try If it meant being with you Darling if you go diving, take me along If you start to drown , baby I’d be around To save you from the storm Darling if you go, where you go They say love, that it’s golden true And faith, faith is old But we might need both to get us through this Chorus And I know it’s hard when your back’s to the boulders The waters start rising, those feet getting colder But we’ll make a change they say trust paves the way If you’ve got the strength, I’ve the courage to do this Chorus If you go… where you go...

Pluck 04:17
Time is an illusion, and your lifetime is doubly so You wait for God to find you But he’s gone, gone, gone Yes he’s gone gone gone… So come on and wake the neighbors There’s gonna be a fire fight We can’t trust the others Because they’re just not like us Time for the war of the ages Gather your saints and sages We’re gonna show them what rage is With our righteousness in course Is this how we raised the boys? Trained in someone else’s voice? Well i’d rather hear them stay, and I’d rather their hearts beat Keep the drama on the stage, and the fighting in the sheets And I don’t care if he prays, but i’ve got to hear him sing Love oh love it’s a confusion In the battle, it’s the beast that don’t sleep You wait, oh you wait inside that chamber Dreaming of treasure you know you’ll never keep So come on and pluck my heartstrings They play a chord so lovely It could be yours if you want it, but you better bring your guns hon That soul soul darling, get in control oh darling We keep it nice and charming, but i’m nothing like you’ve seen Is this how we make the choice Between lovers and remorse I’d rather see him stay, and I’d rather he not cheat Keep the drama on the stage, and the fighting in the sheets And I don’t care if if he plays just as long as it’s with me And i’d rather they be brave, and I’d rather that they think I can talk at you for days, and not ever say a thing And I’ll never see that change if I never hear you speak

The Big Bad 04:58
In the town there’s a poor farm house He goes about his daily dues Without a sound he had vanished Beneath the light of a pale full moon That’s quite a mouth you’ve got on you Funny as how I’ve never heard you speak Isn’t the night romantic Come and walk a little while with me And with eyes so bright you shine my dear Look inside there is no monster here I’m alive, I’m alive beneath the moon Come out come out, they’re not after you The hunt they rage, it’s for the beast So it seems I’ve been banished Can’t let them take you away from me a-woo And with teeth so white, they strike in fear Look inside there is no monster here I’m alive, I’m alive, if you knew the truth And if I survive I will meet you here Look and find me down by the water dear I’m alive, I’m alive and i’m coming for you

Saturday, usual place, Writing on the square The sun on my face, buskers play jazz in the street What a way to live, and what a world we live in I could never take it all in Walking past, a little family on their way home Oh they’re holding hands, I smile as they smile at each other And I wonder at the miracle of life and birth The way that curly haired kid looks just like She looks just like her mother And I don’t change, no I don’t change unless I want to I’m stuck in my ways, a creature of wit and play If god is so great, then why do I wonder so Is he afraid, I’d judge him as he judges me? Why do they scream, while we all dream? Can you answer me? Answer me! And if your god is real, than he hates me And if he’s not, who would forgive me for all of this I, I need you, I need you, I need you to be there Or just not Or just not...

Wake up gently in the morning, Press your lips up against mine There’s a circle around your finger, Where she wouldn’t spend the time But darling that’s not me, and I’m not her I meant what I said, when I said I’m yours So darling don’t worry, don’t waste your sweet time It may not be perfect, but it’s perfectly fine We’re not chemists, but we go together We’re not soldiers, but we’ve got fight There’s a red flower growing outside our window It’s bright and just like us, it’s the last of it’s kind. And lover when you found me, I was hurt Selfish and skittish, covered in dirt But darling don’t worry, don’t stress your sweet mind I may not be perfect, but i’m perfectly fine. There’s no reason to be scared, when it’s right its right DArling you best be prepared, it’s gonna be the ride of your life We don’t hear the doubters, and the clock is just as blind The timings not perfect but that’s perfectly fine Come taste of the future and come drink off my vine It may not be perfect, but it’s perfectly fine It’s perfectly fine You are perfectly fine

Someday I’ll wake, and I’ll be fine, smile of mine I’ll be safe in a place, with nothing but time, smile of mine Can we play like a fiddle, can we sway like a willow, in perfect time, smile of mine Someday i’ll be wed, to someone who’s kind, smile of mine We can hide in my bed, fingers entwined, smile of mine Can you stay till the morning, i’m afraid of the storming, hold me tight, smile of mine Someday i’ll wake, and you’ll be gone, you’re moving on My little heart it will break, held on so long, where’d it go wrong You’re just burning through life love, guess i held on to tight love, say goodbye, smile of mine Someday i’ll wake, and I will be fine, really i’m fine There’s too much on my plate, I haven’t the time, youre off my mind I can’t hold on forever, but I remember that clever and bright, smile of mine You’ll never find that smile of mine, smile of mine
