First he was the enemy
So they asked you for some help to hunt him down
But when they put him in control
He goes and puts you in nursing home
Worry about the Kennedys
Psychosomatic paranoia
Is gonna bring down to your knees
While the FBI is in your doorway
It’s all in your head
They’re coming for you family
Your brother knows something he shouldn’t know
His soul is singing with the angels
His body’s floating in the Gulf of Mexico
His behavior was criminal
But they know time heals the pain
And they accelerate recovery
Until you don’t even notice the bloodstains
It’s all in your head
Thinking that its safe when
You’re on the right hand side of the Lord
But you’re never gonna get away
Because the shotgun beats your sword
Worry about the Kennedys
You know that he’s the enemy
Is it really paranoia
Because the FBI is at your door
It’s all in your head.
Psychosomatic paranoia
Its gonna bring down to your knees
And you’re never gonna get away
Because the FBI is in your doorway.

Do Not Disturb Me
03:29
|
|||
|
They think they can wake him
But here’s a surprise
It takes something louder
Just to open his eyes
He finds that you bore him and ruin his fun
And leave him outside to dry up in the sun
He says do not disturb me
in the middle of my dream
Do not disturb me
You couldn’t convince him
And listen to why
The life that you offer
Is all such a lie
With a normal career of nothing to do
It’s not like sleep
where your dreams can come true
He says do not disturb me
in the middle of my dream
Do not disturb me
At six in the morning
he rolls over and sighs
after stretching and yawning
he opens his eyes
When he stretches his arm
someone hands him a gun
and when his feet hit the ground
he’s expected to run
He screams do not disturb me
in the middle of my dreams
Do not disturb me.

What Are You Waiting For
04:05
|
|||
|
You hear the end of your sleep
Ringing from out of the deep
Thoughts that you’re thinking
It’s time for you to get up
And make yourself a cup
of whatever she’s drinking
What are you waiting for
The girl was so discrete
She had a technique
That you could not ignore
A chance meeting like you hope
She asks you for a smoke
But you’re no provocateur
What are you waiting for
Now the time I spent with you
was the most forbidden fruit
you’d ever tasted
And when I fall asleep
I thrash around and weep
for all the time I wasted
What are you waiting for?
Before the feeling explodes
You need to write her a note
Stop hesitating
She opens the envelope
And wonders why you moved so slow
It's so frustrating
What are you waiting for
Now the time I spent with you
was the most forbidden fruit
you’d ever tasted
And when I fall asleep
I thrash around and weep
for all the time I wasted
What are you waiting for?

The Gemini
04:24
|
|||
|
Fantasies start with a spark
Quickening your heart beat
When you sit next to me
And I want to talk about
Everything we can be
I listened to your soul’s cries
How it’s looking for paradise
Your desire for sunshine
Brought you right next to me
You're a Gemini
Shining down on me
Destiny, shine down from a stars
Fantasy, she loves my guitars
Even on a starless night
A touch from you could ignite
a spark that makes me say
I like how you misbehave
You never bat an eyelash
I never see a mood crash
I treat you like you wear a crown
Its what you naturally crave
You're a Gemini
Shining on me
All the sparks eminating
Its no wonder we're mating
You're a Gemini
Shining down on me

Lacey Moore
04:25

How many ways can her eyes convey desire?
She desperate to receive all the things
Money just can’t buy her
And he wonders how to improve his luck
Make your move with Lacey Moore
Hesitate now and you might lose her
Make your move with Lacey Moore,
before she’s gone
She doesn’t know that her smile,
Sets his heart in motion
She innocently leaves
the impression of devotion
Still he wonders how to prove his love
It’s your move with Lacey Moore
Give her a reason to hang around
Make your move with Lacey Moore,
before she’s gone
You know you never know what it means
and you can’t let your eyes just focus on alarms
The opportunity knocks its like a thief
and you must seize her in your arms
It’s your move with Lacey Moore
She’s on your mind, all the time
Make your move with Lacey Moore
Or you won’t see her anymore.

The Strain
03:25
|

Listen to this story
One lover is afraid
That if she paid attention
She’d see her lover start to fade
He was hauling furniture
14 hours a day
She worked at an ER
Seven hundred miles away
It’s a strain
He went to Virginia
And he broke a simple rule
To never talk to strangers
But she seemed like someone that he knew
We all know temptation
Uses humans to amuse
But Jeannie won’t be laughing
Because she thinks he’s always true to her
It’s a strain
Later during dinner
The meal was badly burned
Her eyes were pleading help me
But he didn't seem concerned,
It’s a strain
That was how it rusted
The beginning of the trend
If he can’t be trusted
Will it be the end?
The doctors’ orders are obeyed
But she just never heals
And when she goes home all alone
That’s exactly how she feels,
It’s a strain.

Hot and Cold
06:03
|
|||
|
Sometimes a joy to be around
High on the pinnacle
Then you go crashing to the ground
Everything's so cynical
You say I’ve got a lot of nerve
And then tell me something rude
I know I’ll get what I deserve
When I get you in the mood
You're hot and cold
Don’t say you never understood
You didn’t hear a single word
You’ve known the rules of the game
Since you were a little girl
I never know when you don’t mean it
In the past I’ve misunderstood
But then we always make it up
and that leads to something good
You’re hot and cold
You go walking out on me
Then cry you'll never leave
I just wave a white flag
I never know what to believe
You say I’ve got a lot of nerve
And then tell me something rude
I know I’ll get what I deserve
When I get you in the mood
You’re hot and cold.

Not the Only One
03:32
|

|
I wish that woman wouldn’t look me
She makes me feel like I’m already guilty
And sentenced and led like a lamb to the slaughter
Cause its under her skin that I’m dating her daughter
Subconsciously, a little jealousy
Everybody knows it
I’m not the only one
I’m really, really, really running out of breath
I think if I stop she might beat me to death
If I can run away now I can finally rest
How can one woman be so possessed?
Where’s your conscience mama?
She said forget about it
Everybody knows
I’m not the only one
Subconsciously, a little jealousy
Everybody knows it
I’m not the only one
I’m never gonna say what happened that night
I can only say that my alibi’s airtight
It feels so good to be off of her leash
She choked me so tight, but she really could teach
There are consequences, for your jealousy
And everybody knows it
I’m not the only one

I Want to Know
03:12
|

With a girl like you who’s so refined
There’s a question running through my mind
Is it better that you treat me rough
So I know it’s time I’ve had enough
But I wait my turn to make my debut
While I shadowed you
Nothing better to do
There’s a part of me
Says I ought to go
But my heart is screaming
I gotta know
I want to know
I caught you out a second time
with a former friend of mine
Should I treat you like a criminal
Is the situation terminal
Why would you lie to me
And then you do it again
Its inexcusable
But you’re beautiful
I want to know
I call you on the telephone
It’s like you’d rather be alone
I don’t think I’m gonna give it up
At least I had you picking up
Will you hold me close
Even when your mine
Will you share my dreams
And a bottle of wine
I want to know.

Did I pick you up or was it the other way around?
The way things turned out it
It hardly matters anyhow
I want to see you more,
I don't care that if I’m trapped
As I’m obsessing
You just feel like
I’m nice to be around
Like something lost but now it’s found
Before I realized what a state I was in
I never thought to suspect a thing
Then it happened
At the door to heaven
Then it happened
At the door to heaven
Was I singled out
Or just simply someone that you found
Until you go away
It's just a waste of time to figure out.
I want to see you now
I don’t know where you’re at
Infatuated
I don’t see that we start to separate
A red balloon just floats away
Before I realized what a state I was in
I never thought to suspect a thing
Then it happened
At the door to heaven
Then it happened
At the door to heaven
Is there any reason
To meet in such an empty parking lot?
The things that happened there
Made me think you might be coming back
I can’t accept
Or understand why you left
On the phone
I beg and plead for you
Not to act that way
Like you’re just acting in my play
When I realized what these feelings mean
I watch the episodes religiously
Something happened
At the door to heaven.
Something happened
At the door to heaven
It just closed.

Good News from Fortuna
05:18
|

|
A little love and attention is all he needs
But that girl was just a little tough to please.
Disappointing chemicals disturb his sleep
and a red balloon is hanging over him
She smoked him like a cigarette
And then she vaped him when it was time quit
Now he’s tired, depressed, he stays in bed
He couldn’t sleep with all the voices in his head
until the best one said
There’s good new coming out of Fortuna
There’s such good news
She’s got a new attitude
Don’t need a number to see her
She’s in a fantastic mood
And song that she’s singing
It’s never beaucoup de blues
There’s good news coming out of Fortuna
There’s such good news
Oh he never can lose
If he don’t feel like winner
You know she really don’t care
If he’ll confess he’s a sinner
She’ll give him time to prepare
Spinning Wheel, why are you calling me
There’s good news coming out of Fortuna
There’s such good news for you
Oh she’ll never refuse
She already needs him
And thinking miles ahead
As he prepares for the evening
He’ll take the couch instead
Spinning Wheel, why are you calling me?
