Verse 1:
I can’t believe this is happening to me
In the space of only seconds, I am gone
Caught up in a fire that I know I’d never start
But it sure as hell don’t matter anymore
Pre-Chorus 1:
I did my time for you
I paid the price
Now you won’t even let me through the door
Chorus 1:
I want to come home to
(I want to come home to)
I want to come home to you
Is that too much to ask now?
I want to come home to
(I want to come home to)
I want to come home to you
Or is that too much?
Verse 2:
I can’t believe this is happening to me
I was born this way, I’m just the same as you
The color of my skin or the places I have been
Do not paint me as a monster, yes it’s true
Pre-Chorus 2:
What I have done to be treated this way
Where I can’t even get through the door?
Chorus 2:
I want to come home to
(I want to come home to)
I want to come home to you
Is that too much to ask now?
I want to come home to
(I want to come home to)
I want to come home to you
Or is that too much?
Chorus 3:
I want to come home to
(I want to come home to)
I want to come home to you
Is that too much to ask now?
I want to come home to
(I want to come home to)
I want to come home to you
Or is that too much?

Nobody But Me

Ooooooooo hooo
Verse 1:
I ain't got a lot to say
I've said it all before
Filling up this empty glass
And throwing it on the floor
Maybe this time around
I'll know just what to do
When I see that nasty thing
Come crawling after you
Pre-Chorus 1:
Everybody wants to be somebody
But if you try to hold too tightly, you'll fade away
So I've just got to be myself with you
Chorus 1:
Anybody else now just won't do
You don't have to make my dreams come true
If this is just a game, then I don't wanna play
There's nobody left to be but me
Post-Chorus 1:
Nobody but me, nobody but me, nobody but me, yeah
Nobody but me, nobody but me, nobody but me, yeah (hey, yeah)
Nobody but me, nobody but me, nobody but me, yeah
Nobody but me, nobody but me, nobody but me, yeah
Oooowoo
Verse 2:
I - I saw my shame come sneakin' through the back
Wearin' all my favorite clothes and searchin' for a snack
(Yummy)
I said, "Sit on down, take off your shoes
You came to the right place
Let's have a conversation man-to-man and face-to-face."
Pre-Chorus 2:
I said, "Everybody wants to be somebody
But if I try to hold too tightly, I fade away
So I've just got to be myself with you
Chorus 2:
Anybody else now just won't do
You don't have to make my dreams come true
If this is just a game, then I don't wanna play
There's nobody left to be but me."
Post-Chorus 2:
Nobody but me, nobody but me, nobody but me, yeah
Nobody but me, nobody but me, nobody but me, yeah (hoo!)

Nobody but me, nobody but me, nobody but me, yeah
Nobody but me, nobody but me, nobody but me, yeah
Nobody but me, nobody but me, nobody but me, yeah (aww yeah!)

One Man Show
05:25
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I remember holding yesterday
Like a prized and stolen ring
And I kept my heart inside a box
Full of old and tattered things
Where the paper trails like to go
And the masters and the monsters always know
That I was singing to myself in a one man show
Verse 2:
Deep inside the deepest avalanche
Is a warm inviting place
And I go there still ‘cause I need to be filled
With an unforgotten embrace
Where I lose my need to control
All the enemies that I will never know
Losing a spot in line for the one man show
Bridge:
If I go all alone into the world without a friend
I won’t know how to give the love that’s always been within
Verse 3:
Well it seems to be an awful sight
As the old defenses fall
But these walls were made from rotted wood
No more life in them at all
The patrons all went home a while ago
The cleaning crew is sweeping up the floor
Pulling the curtain down on the one man show
Saying a last goodbye to the one man show
Yeah, to the one man show

Tired Of Money
02:23
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I’m so tired of money
Money ain’t tired of me
It’s burning a hole in my pocket
In my only good pair of jeans
It keeps me tied to a hole in the ground
I’ve been living at six feet deep
‘Cause I’m so tired of money
But money ain’t tired of me
Verse 2:
I hear people say I’m a genius
That I fell right out of the sky
Like an alien baby with a heart of gold
Like I didn’t even have to try
I break my back ‘til I tear it in two
But I’m given just a nominal fee
‘Cause I’m so tired of money
But money ain’t tired of me
Bridge:
How many houses do you have to have
Before you find your home?
Everybody knows that you can’t take it with you
So what do you gain if you lose your soul?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Verse 3:
I’m so tired of money
Money ain’t tired of me
Somedays I want to just throw in the towel
Other days I want to scream
I don’t want to be a billionaire
With a mouth full of shit-eating teeth
‘Cause I’m so tired of money
But money ain’t tired of me
Yeah, I’m so tired of money
But money ain’t tired of me
Hooo
Hoooooo ooo
Yeah!

Ordinary Song
04:50
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
In a corner of the night, I find my place
Where the static breathes a breath that leaves a mark on my face
I stay up way too long
I was trying to find an ordinary song
Verse 2:
You were holding out your wild and purple heart
But I couldn’t get my lines down before I played the part
I hurt you way too long
And I’m sorry that I couldn’t sing along
I was trying to find an ordinary song
Verse 3:
I remember how I held you when you cried
‘Cause you let your heart go wandering and lost it in the night
Who knows right or wrong
When fear and love are dragging you along
And you’re trying to sing an ordinary song
Bridge:
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Verse 4:
There’s an innocence inside a part of me
Like an old familiar face of a friend you never see
You feel it when they’re gone
And you know there’s always somewhere you belong
It was written in an ordinary song
It was always in this ordinary song

Living In Sanctuary
04:45
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Maybe the sun is frozen still
Fanning the flame inside the chill
One hundred million steps are blown away
I feel the sand between my toes
This is a place where nothing grows
There was a life and life has gone away
Chorus 1:
Soon you will find
That we’re all living in sanctuary
It’s only a mountain left to climb
I believe you and I -
We will run like rivers rush to the ocean
Over and over and over again
Verse 2:
After the war, the crimson storm
I saw a soldier’s uniform
Buried away in some forgotten place
Out of the smoke, out of the ash
I saw a thousand faces pass
Giving a gift that I could not repay
Chorus 2:
Soon you will find
That we’re all living in sanctuary
It’s only a mountain left to climb
I believe you and I -
We will run like rivers rush to the ocean
Over and over and over again
Yeah
Bridge:
There is nothing left to lose
There is nothing left to lose
There is nothing left to lose
There is nothing left to lose
Chorus 3:
Soon you will find
That we’re all living in sanctuary
It’s only a mountain left to climb
I believe you and I -
We will run like rivers rush to the ocean
Over and over and over again

What's It Going To Take
03:58
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
It’s the strangest of confessions
It’s the mark of something true
When everything you brought to me
Gave me something else to lose
Now I know you’ve had your moments
And I know I’ve had mine too
But what’s it going to take today
For me to tell you I love you?
Verse 2:
Mercy spoke to me last night
When I was sleeping by myself
She said, “Do you remember last goodbyes
When you put me on that shelf?”
The fires of frustration
Burn the sadness passing through
And so what’s it going to take today
For me to tell you I love you?
Bridge:
I’m the only one who knows the answers
To the questions I was too afraid to ask
And I wondered why you tore yourself to pieces
‘Til I put them back together and I broke them just as fast
Verse 3:
There’s a stillness in the outburst
There’s a prison without a door
You caught me in between the lines
When I was shaking on the floor
I could write a million stories
About how you saw me through
But what’s it going to take today
For me to tell you I love you?
I may not see tomorrow
But even if I do
What’s it going to take today
For me to tell you I love you?

Actors
04:40
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
In ‘77 you went to heaven
And left us wondering why
What you do when there’s something to prove
And time has passed you by?
Goodbye
Verse 2:
I was alone and stared at the phone
When I heard that you had died
Singing along to the same old song
That locked you up inside
Goodbye
Chorus 1:
Well I went through hell trying to find myself
And I came out feeling so good
Taking my time ‘cause it ain’t no crime
To do the things that I should
Everybody’s looking to find a place to call their own
But nobody knows you have to start inside
Verse 3:
We were together it seemed forever
Until forever passed
What do you say when you want to betray
All the actors you had cast?
Goodbye
Chorus 2:
I was lying and testifying
To keep you from losing your mind
But now I know what’s mine to own
How could I be so blind?
Living in your nightmare was the only place I knew
But now it’s time to say goodbye to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooo
Yeah, yeah, aaww, come on
