Well the wizard sees
and the witches all agree
something ain't right about
widow McGee
she's got too much sorrow
and too much time
yeah
one of these days she's gonna
start another fire
and oh
she's been walking
late at night
do you ever wonder
what's been on her mind?
no it doesn't worry me
cause the ship i'm on is sinking deep
got a pocket full of dreams
well the wizard sees
and the witches all agree
that an evils rising
in the forest to the east
he's got great big claws
and great big teeth
he's gonna crawl under your covers
gonna get you in your sleep
and somethings out there lurking
in the dark
growing closer
now it
ain't too far
but it doesn't worry me
that the world i'm in is burning fast
got a pocket full of dreams
I can save myself at last

Home

Well I already told you
all the best jokes that i know
and we only left texas an hour ago
all that i wanted
was the open road
i was free for a while
but i'm going back home
going back home
where I live a simple lie
I sang you my song
but you didn't think much
just shook your head
and turned the radio up
now I see you around
with your arm around him
what's he got that I don't?
what made you give in?
You know every heart
that's broke
makes a mind thats cold
and for every song
unsung
theres a loaded gun
but I already sang you every verse that I know
and we only passed Kansas an hour ago
and all that I wanted was the open road
I was free
for a while
but i'm going back home

Last Laugh
03:50
|

In your past lives
you were something else then
with a small mind
you didn't see a problem
but with your new insides
now they can be invented
and with your latest lies
you know just how to solve this
so you can tell me what it's all supposed to mean
I know that I don't know anything
you tell me words that
suggest you're making progress
well saying how it is
trapped inside your own head
when you've confided
you dream of going out west
would you leave then?
let me know how it's working
cause its a long way
from the old days
and heres our last laugh
what a damn shame
but you can tell me what the air is like to breath
in all the places I wont ever see

Don't fly away
03:52
|

I didn't need the time
it was farthest from my mind
goes just like sand between my hands
now that i'm older
i need more time
now that it's over
I realize
in this
worn out
devils playground
theres no easy
way to
tear your
web down
but wait
don't fly away
wait
let me explain
oh, the sun has never shone
quite as bright
and you'd been waiting all
of your life
now the sun will never shine
quite as bright
and you'll be wasting all of your time
in this
worn out
devils playground
theres no easy
way to
tear your
web down
but wait
don't fly away
wait
let me explain

Smoke
03:50
|
|||
I see it in the flowers
I breath it in the air
the voice that is inside me
is finally aware
but I don't know the feeling
cause it's rarely ever there
and I don't have the strength yet
to turn away
or care
smoke from the mountain alright
over the place I call home
The moon by itself doesn't glow
same with the people I know
I see it on the sidewalk
so I scream it in the street
the voice that is inside me
is a man I'll never meet
but I don't care to meet him
cause I know he isn't real
just a shadow passing over
a cold and sudden chill
smoke from the mountain
Alright
over the place I call home
the moon by itself doesn't glow
same with the people I know

Saw you in a dream
04:10
|
|||
if this is just another ride
and you can take it or leave it if you like
all advice is bad advice
in that light
I'll make it through to somewhere fine
girl if you're there it'd be alright
but you don't have to ask me nice
cause I'm not
seems like going backwards sometimes
where the old mind and the planets align
I saw you in a dream
made it through the winter fine
didn't need anybody on my side
all I had to do was lie
to get by
and all you had to say
was nothing
and all thats in your way
is yourself
and all thats left of this
is broken
and all you have to say
is nothing.
seems like going backwards this time
where the old mind
and the planets rewind
it doesn't mean a thing.
