“Before Destruction” 3:17LYRICS
Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty
Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty
Everyone loves you for your black eye
They feast on the abundance of your house
Your love
I want to believe
For once to believe now

Just as you’re leaving you turn around and take a cold shot
Just as you’re turning your back
Ah love
Your love
“Is Love Forever?” 2:07LYRICS
I grew up in a supermarket it was there they told me
If they can’t find me they won’t leave without me now or ever
All I need’s a word to get me started, all I need’s a look
Some ex-girlfriend, call her Heather
Whispers to me ‘Is love forever?’

Is love forever?
Is love?

Are you quite certain, love?

When I’m older, start to wonder was that love or instinct working?
Have I even felt it ever?
What’s the object?
Is love forever?
“The Mystery Zone” 4:59LYRICS
Picture yourself set up for good in a whole other life in the mystery zone
Make us a house, some faraway town where nobody will know us well
Where your dad’s not around
And all the trouble you looked for all your life
You will find it for sure
In the mystery zone

Times that we met before we met
Times that we met
We’ll go there
To the mystery zone

There goes the rider at gates of dawn
He takes no prisoners at all
He’ll get there on his own
What gets him going off down that road?
It’s the thing he don’t understand
The mystery zone
Maybe all he wants
Maybe all he needs is to know that the sun don’t set
On the mystery zone

How can it feel so familiar when you’ve never been there?
How can it seem so unreachable
You never tried to find
Never tried to find the mystery zone

All of the people you used to run into but never do now
They took off for the mystery zone
And when you know love, when you find it for real
It contains the emotion sense
Of the mystery zone
Everyone read it, your cover was blown
You weren’t there but you were in the mystery zone
You weren’t there but you were

Opening windows, doors never closed
It’s the fresh air fiend
It’s the information troll
We’re pack a bag, sending it off
Just some things that never fit right
And we’ll send it ahead as a test so we’ll know
Call it up when it gets there
What’s it like in the mystery zone?

Times that we met before we met
We’ll go back there
Times that we met before
We’ll go back
We’ll go back there
The mystery zone
“Who Makes Your Money” 3:44LYRICS
Japanese John, his slight face fur
Still just as confused still just as sure
He’s still just as charming, points out the view
As he hands your wage to you

Don’t you break it
Who makes your money
Or they’ll take it
Who makes your money

Who makes your money
Who thinks they might
Who’s gonna be there to take that fight
Some try to relax
Some try to know
Some try to get there with no place to go
No place to go

Who makes your money
Or they take it
Who makes your money

When all is quiet and on your own
And all your love, there it goes
It’s come to hate
With everything you call
And now your back
Is against the wall
Who makes your money
“Written in Reverse” 4:18LYRICS
I’m writing this to you in reverse
Someone better call a hearse
I can see it all from here from just a few glimpses
Now that light bulb’s gone off and it’s pulling my winces
Now the light bulb’s gone on
I’ve seen it in your eyes
I’ve seen you blankly stare
And I wanna show you how I love you but there’s nothing there

I’m not standing here
Oh I’m not standing here
And I’m writing in reverse
I know it could be worse
I’m not standing here
And I’m not standing here
And I’m not standing here
And I’m writing in reverse
I know it could be worse
And I hear that famous song
When I hear it I can’t be wrong

I know nothing was planned, you just can’t help yourself
Some people are so easily shuffled and dealt
If there was only one of us you truly felt
We’re getting your all and it feels real good
But only briefly like high school poppers would
Where you lose a bit of yourself
Where you lose a bit of yourself

I’m not standing here
Oh I’m not standing here
And I’m writing in reverse
Know it could be worse
I hear that famous song
I feel that I can’t be wrong

All I know is all I know
Yeah all I know is all I know is all I know

I’m writing this to you in reverse
Someone better call a hearse
I can see it all from here from just a few glimpses
Now that light bulb’s gone off and it’s pulling my winces
Now the light bulb’s gone on
I’ve seen it in your eyes
And there’s nothing there
There’s nothing there
I want to show you how I love you
I can see you blankly stare
“I Saw the Light” 5:32LYRICS
Whenever your love can find me
It break through the walls that bind me
It’s breaking the walls that bind me
And I go out in the world
I make my case to the world
I sell the world unto the world
It asks me back again
It calls me Love and holds me tight
It peels off them ties that bind me
I don’t need a thing to remind me
That I’m part of the world

I saw the light
I saw the light
And I felt all jeaned on in white
And I felt so permanently alive
I saw the light
I saw the light
And I felt all creamed on in white
I felt so permanently alive
“Trouble Comes Running” 3:05LYRICS
I was in a functional way
I had my Brown Sound jacket
Queen of call collect on my arm
She was my calmer down
She was my good luck charm

Here it come running
Trouble come running again
Trouble comes running
Here it come running again

Well alright
I got taken away
By a heavenly host
To a heavenly place
I didn’t wanna leave
I would not be swayed

But here it come running
Here it come running again
Trouble’s where the kicks are
Here it comes running
Are you picking up
Are you picking up what I’m putting down?
Here it come running
Here it come running again
Running again

Well done
I was in a functional way
And thinking clean clean thoughts
Effort just to keep my nose on
Just trying to look straight ahead
Don’t want to tell him he’s wrong
Don’t wanna tell him he’s wrong

It come running
Here it come running
Trouble’s where the kicks are
Here it come running again
The slaves are on the horses
Princes walk the ground like they’re slaves
Here it come running
Here it come running again
“Goodnight Laura” 2:28LYRICS
Goodnight Laura
Don’t you know your bed awaits and now it’s time for sleeping
Goodnight Laura, close your eyes
Your worries are meant to stop and now
You know they’re not for keeping

If you want to fall asleep, be very still
And you close your eyes and slow yourself and let the worry leave you
And let go of it all just for this evening
Alright
Alright

You can fall asleep by being very still
And you let your breath slow down
And when you think your thoughts be sure that they are sweet ones
Don’t you know, love, you’re alright
You’re alright
“Out Go the Lights” 4:36LYRICS
You walked into the ballroom like
The call for wind and rain was right
And all them heads went left to right
Then out went the lights
It was a break in time
I know your mechanism

You became like that on which your heart was fixed
Before I knew what was which
Out went the lights
There’s a picture of you
Standing there in my black wig
Looking like who thinks they know who
Standing there in my black wig
I can’t hear for the noise
You always looked good that way
You were the one-two punch from Illinois

If you lean any harder that window breaks at the bump
And when that light turns back again
You will remember the way
They fall for you like a brick
But nobody knows you
Knows you when you’re down or kicked
Out go the lights
Never see that kind of poise
You always looked good that way
You were the one-two punch
You always looked good that way
“Got Nuffin” 3:58LYRICS
When I’m with you, all my brothers oh
I feel like a king
It feels like I’m dreaming
When that blood goes rattling through my veins
My ears start to ring
I notice what matters
And I got nothing to lose but darkness and shadows
Got nothing to lose but bitterness and patterns

When I can’t find the way to reach you my love
I’m just not the same
It just ain’t the same
But when I know you’re watching out for me
I know what I’m knowing
I can see what matters
And I got nothing to lose but darkness and shadows
Got nothing to lose but emptiness and hang-ups

When I know you’re watching out for me
I look for what matters and I notice what matters
And I got nothing to lose but darkness and shadows
Got nothing to lose but loneliness and patterns
The flowers bloom and the trains collide
I don’t got a thing to lose
“Nobody Gets Me But You” 4:56LYRICS
Nobody gets what I’m saying
Must be some way to convey it
But no one else remembers my name
Just the parts that I played
Nobody gets me
Nobody gets me but you

No one gets what I’m doing
Everyone else seems to look through it
But maybe I never wanted them to
Couldn’t count on it anyway
Nobody gets me
Nobody cuts me like you
 Nobody gets what I’m saying
Those that know, those that knew me
Those that looked threw me
Do they get me
Do they get me like you?
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
NO
Nobody
