I’d say you were circumspect.
But I can’t say today you get a lot of respect.
And I can’t say today that you knew right away
That today was today and you knew right away
What was up.
Hey, hey – you’re a step outta time.
And I can say today, that you’re a bit outta line.
But I can’t get away to say, “Get away!”
And the time’s not okay for you to wanna stay
Anymore.
Anymore.
I’ve got theories, maybe they’re memories.
You’re not here, but you will be sometime.
I’ve got memories, maybe dream theories.
You’re not real, but I’m still reeling.
I say something to you.
You say, “None of it is true.”
No way. I gotta say, I’m surprised.
And it’s no – not okay, keeping up with these lies.
I’m afraid it’s the day for you to go away.
But if you’re who you say, it’ll all be okay.
Evermore.
Evermore.
I’ve got theories, maybe they’re memories.
You’re not here, but you will be sometime.
I’ve got memories, maybe dream theories.
You’re not real, but I’m still reeling.
I’ve got theories, maybe they’re memories.

I am an eternal optimist.
Something like a freakin’ love octopus.
Eight arms to hold you.
Eight arms to knock you out!
When you think you’ve seen it all before,
everything and everyone’s at war.
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again, drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
I look to the side that’s brighter.
Apparently I’m an octopus fighter.
It’s not my nature,
it’s nature’s way out!
When you think you’ve seen it all before,
everything and everyone’s at war.
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.

Sad again, drag again.

Do All the Things

I wanna do all the things.
I wanna meet all the people.
Everyone.
Everything.
Everything to do. Every minute to fill up full.
And if it’s true I’ve lost my footing,
slipping away so far from high.
I’m falling free away from steady
or holding on to this dear life.
I wanna eat all the delicacies
of every continent, country, borough.
What’s that thing?
I wanna know!
Gotta fill my face full with all the things!
And if it’s true I’ve lost my footing,
slipping away so far from high.
I’m falling free away from steady
or holding on to this dear life.
Do the things!
Check all the boxes!
Run around crazy - don’t be lazy!
Do more things!
Scream and run away!
Make a lotta noise, then DISAPPEAR!
And if it’s true I’ve lost my footing,
slipping away so far from high.
I’m falling free away from steady
or holding on to this dear life

Look at her! She thinks she’s so damn brilliant-TAH!
Uses big words!
With 5 syllables!
It’s inconceivable she’d understand them all!
Does she know?
Inexplicable!
No! Does she even get it?
Ba ba da Ba! Ba! Baaaaa!
But she doesn’t sweat it!
Inconceivable!
People say she’s just a pompous ass, you know.
And such a faker!
Disingenuous!
Or maybe she’s a little frightened thing-gah! HAH!
Tries to ward off
Insecurity!
No! Does she even get it?
Ba ba da Ba! Ba! Baaaaa!
But she doesn’t sweat it!
Inconceivable!

So unconventional!
Unintentional, you!
Ohh, ohhh!
I accidentally,
Unexpectedly knew.
Ohh, ohhh!
Does it even matter?
When the whole world is falling on its face?
Instantaneous fallout.
Inconceivable!!

Tell me what’s going on, what all a’happenin’?
All this zooming around all this running backwards!
And if I need to take a break
and hide away, away and stay.
And wait a spell, and stop.
Stay still.
That’s all right, OK!
Keep doubling up on all the good stuff!
Top it up!
Keep it up, top it up!
Heyo, Heyo! Heyo, Heyo!

Top it up!

Heyo, Heyo! Heyo, Heyo! Heyo, Heyo!

All the times we were looking for something
But there’s nuthin’ goin’ on around here.
Undiscovered, undercover.
But there’s nuthin’ goin’ on around here.
Looking for something - anything!
I wonder if there’s anything a’happening?
Walkabout, talkabout.
On the pavement
Wearing down my treads
There’s nuthin’ goin’ on around here.
Many times I sat and wondered
Why there’s nuthin’ goin’ on around here.
Treading time to keep from going under
But there’s nuthin’ goin’ on around here.
Ya got nuthin’? I got somethin’.
Not feeling? Anyhow, anyway.
Well I’m reeling, gimme gimme somethin’
But there’s nuthin’ goin’ on around here.
This is all there is.
This is all there is.
This is all there is.
There’s nuthin’ goin’ on around here.
All the times we were looking for something
But there’s nothin’ goin’ on around here.
Undiscovered, undercover.
But there’s nothin’ goin’ on around here.
Looking for something - anything!
I wonder if there’s anything a’happening?
Walkabout, talkabout.
On the pavement
Wearing down my treads
There’s nothin’ goin’ on around here.
This is all there is.
This is all there is.
This is all there is.
There’s nuthin’ goin’ on around here.
Then we’ll shiver and shake
Feel alive for God’s sake.
Gotta run, gotta run
Better believe it yourself
There’s nuthin’ goin’ on around here.
YEAHHHHH!
RUN RUN! Don’t even!
RUN RUN! I’m feeling!
RUN RUN! Believe! There’s!
Nuthin’ goin on around here!
Nuthin’ goin on around here!
Nuthin’ goin on around here!
Nuthin’ goin on around here!

You belong somewhere, elsewhere.
Are you nearing propulsion?
Never saw it coming.
Did we know it would happen?
Step inside and I’ll step aside now.
It’s for the best, yes the best, all right now.
Did we see it coming?
Never thought it would happen.
Taking a break, while I wait in the wings,
looking onward, beyond.
Feeling a jolt as I bolt to the cold,
looking backward.
Couldn’t explain why I couldn’t refrain
from not standing stock still.
Cumbersome, numb, and then some
I’m jumping the line.
Line.
7000 hours.
7000 hours.
7000 hours.
You belong somewhere elsewhere.
Getting ready for takeoff.
Could we just stay longer?
7000 hours?
Gonna miss me when I’m gone, I think.
Take a minute, remember, have a drink.
Not about me this time, no, no, no.
See ya in 7000 hours or so.
Taking a break, while I wait in the wings,
looking onward, beyond.
Feeling a jolt as I bolt to the cold,
looking backward.
Couldn’t explain why I couldn’t refrain
from not standing stock still.
Cumbersome, numb, and then some
I’m jumping the line.
Line...

Setting up for action,
am I setting up to fail?
Ticking off some strategy,
bulleting my fears.
Breaking out or breaking up
and falling on my feet?
Here’s to a good landing,
but I’m shaking in my seat.
I’m failing on my feet.
Don’t look down.
Don’t look down.
Keep coming up for air,
but it’s never there.
Don’t look down. Yeah.
Frozen and immobile,
I’m a million miles away.
Numb and dumb and overcome.
But everything’s ok!
Well enough, I’m going in.
I’m gonna seize the day.
Uncertainty is hurting me.
HEY YOU OUTTA MY WAY.
I’m veering off the track.
Don’t look down.
Don’t look down.
I’m up on a high line.
EVERYTHING IS FINE.
Don’t look down. Yeah.
Don’t look down.
Don’t look down.
Don’t look down.
Don’t look down.
Don’t look down.
Another indication of
Don’t look down.
Needing a nudge, a gentle shove.
Don’t look down.
Some kind of message from above.
Don’t look down.
Remember:
SAVE YOURSELF SOME LOVE.

Eye on You

I know you’re the one for me, I really think so
My friends, they don’t see, they wanna know what I’m on about
I know I’ve got a crush on you
But what’s a poor city boy to do?
Heart, it’s on my sleeve, I really think so
It seems like make-believe, forever feeling out of sight
Can’t tell if you’re the living end
Or maybe just my imaginary friend
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
Guess I was hoping that you already knew
When’ll you see, I got my eye
Got my eye on you
You’re always on the scene, like the time, and the time before
I sit here sight unseen, too easy to ignore
I never thought you’d have the ability
To give me the power of invisibility
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
Guess I was hoping that you already knew
When’ll you see, I got my eye
Got my eye on you
Eye on you
That’s the thing that keeps me up at night
Eye on you
Try to find a way to get a view
Eye on you
I count the stars and wish with all my might
Eye on you
Alone, awake, and think of you
When I go to the record store I just stop and stare
I see you flippin’ vinyl mostly unaware
Wanna tell you what you do to me
No chance, you look right through me
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
Guess I was hoping that you already knew
When’ll you see, I got my eye
Got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
When’ll you see, I got my eye on you
Guess I was hoping that you already knew
When’ll you see, I got my eye
Got my eye on you

There’s a thing you can bring about.
It’ll come without a doubt.
Living in or on the outs.
