Slow Lane 03:01
I used to really want to be a big star on tv well that did not work out obviously I've made up my mind I'm not gonna even try if I'm not racing then you can't say you beat me I'd just as soon stay in the slow lane 50 in a 65 gonna stay in the slow lane here I can survive gonna stay in the slow lane, slow lane and enjoy my time these days by 3 I'm feeling so much lethargy I just want to stay at home and watch tv I see no silver lining in winning second place so I withdraw my name in order to save face I'd just as soon stay in the slow lane 50 in a 65 gonna stay in the slow lane here I can survive gonna stay in the slow lane, slow lane and enjoy my time Angels shall catch you you won't strike your foot against a stone, no Angels shall catch you you won't strike your foot against a stone, no I don't care to state my views there are too many sides unproven manuscripts and blind, blind guides I have no opinion my own personal decree is that everyone in the world must agree that no one knows for sure just like me, just like me, just like me, just like me in the slow lane 50 in a 65 gonna stay in the slow lane it's enough to survive gonna stay in the slow lane, slow lane and enjoy my time

I want the sunrise before the sun the finish line before the run paycheck before I'm done cause I always jump the gun I want the horse before the cart I want the beat before the heart the prize before I've won cause I always jump the gun be in the time that you are be in the time that you are you may feel like you're not getting that far but you are

well you hear the crickets chirping but that old temptation's lurking oh you really should be working cause there's much more to be done I don't know how you make it when you smile do you fake it oh how are we going to make it in the land of the free the wolf howls at the moon as grandpa sucks the silver off the spoon and gives all his fake teeth to you saying try to live the dream of life and liberty where I devour you before you have the chance to devour me The Irish immigrant worked 16 hours a day unthinkable conditions for an unlivable wage he said I just want my children to have a better life than I had His son was a clerk at a grocery story the owners treated him well but could've paid him more he said I just want my children to have a better life than I had his son was a contractor and with hard work and some luck became very successful but he still said I want my children to have a better life than I had his son went to college and drank a lot of beer did a lot of drugs and struggled with depression and took his own life at age 25 and we were all so confused cause he had everything his fathers had hoped for like life and liberty where I devour you before you have the chance to devour me so how on earth then shall we cope is there one good thing to hold our hope oh my you gave us too much rope in the land of the free of life and liberty where I devour you before you have the chance to devour me devour me

["alright tapes rollin'"] - Pat oh how these curtains soften the light the reds and oranges offset the white the dark purple wind that blows through the window at night oh oh oh oh oh oh oh how this cold world needs some color and warmth watching graffiti while I wait for the train spilling coffee from a cup with a handwritten name breaking my new white shirt with a stain oh oh oh oh oh oh oh how this cold world needs some things that are not the same when will I find that house with the back patio and the wood burning stove for my old old soul, for my old soul oh oh oh oh oh oh oh how this cold world needs some color and warmth

So where exactly is home for you  for me it's been this pair of shoes  and this house is always a place to start  but I wouldn't say that it contains my heart  It's really just a place to sleep  with clothes to wear and food to eat  and a chair to sit and stare at the wall  but it's no place to hang my hat at all  The horizon holds my heart  and I'm chasing it apart  the signs say I've got quite a long way to go  And I - I - I - still can't find my home So keep the schemes and keep the scams  I've got my own investment plans  to keep up the chase and work my fingers to the bone  I'm off the map and it's my home  The horizon holds my heart  and I'm chasing it apart  the signs say I've got quite a long way to go And I - I - I - still can't find my home The horizon holds my heart  and I'm chasing it apart the signs say twenty-five thousand miles to go And I - I - I - still can't find my I - I - I - still can't find my I - I - I - still can't find my home

talk to your doctor about all the pills you take trade your headaches for mental earthquakes possible side-effects may include endless crying or even dying music is the only drug I need music is the only drug I need music is the only drug I need before I die, to ease the pain they'll try to sedate me promise you won't let them near me Let me suffer, let me say what I have to say freedom spirit can you hear it music is the only drug I need music is the only drug I need music is the only drug I need what if the treatment has been making you sicker what if doctor has been telling you lies what if the very thing they tell you to avoid is the very thing that's keeping you alive? what if the side effects are real and the actors are all fake now, wouldn't that just be icing on the cake? what if blood pressure medicine reminds you every day about your high blood pressure and how it never goes away and what if, just from the stress of that alone you have a heart attack one day? what if you die from your hospital visits in a shocking and ironic twist of fate? oh well now, wouldn't that just be the icing on the cake? music is the only drug I need music is the only drug I need music is the only drug I need music is the only drug I need music is the only drug I need music is the only drug I need

there are all kinds of different people and each one wants to be understood there are all kinds of different people and they all live in your neighborhood o Lord involve me with peace and healing not death and destruction as is so often my way I know that God will bring salvation to this broken down old house in His own way we gotta encourage each other to do right or else we're gonna do wrong we gotta encourage each other to not give up the fight though the battle is long well I keep driving past broken down cars thinking someone else is gonna help them soon and I keep driving past broken down souls thinking there's nothing I can really do well I cannot go on like this In every room I see either someone whose help I need or somebody who needs some help from me well it's not very safe and I make all these embarrassing mistakes but I will do my very best If you could please show me some grace we gotta encourage each other to do right or else we're gonna do wrong we gotta encourage each other to not give up the fight though the battle is long so I've done wrong to you, and you've done wrong to me, oh but who will be the first to cross the line who will be the first / who will be the first oh let me be the first to cross the line we gotta encourage each other to do right or else we're gonna do wrong we gotta encourage each other to not give up the fight though the battle is long

Jesus & Mary 05:26
well it feels like you're Adam and it feels like I'm Eve I eat forbidden fruit and you jump in after me we wait for salvation for what seems like e ter - ni - ty Oh it just seems like you're Adam and it feels like I'm Eve And when I run away or when I spend the day you have always been the only one who knows what I need Well it feels like you're Jesus and I'm Mary Magdalene Ooh you're the level-headed one I'm the one who makes a scene you love everybody I always charge a fee Oh It just seems like you're Jesus and I'm Mary Magdalene And when I run away or when I spend the day you have always been the only one who knows what I need
