<p>LYRICS:</p>
<p>Work is hard, but that was yesterday</p>
<p>And now the sun is up again</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just waiting for my bones to break</p>
<p>They&#8217;ve gone as far as they can bend</p>
<p>Coming home to an empty bed</p>
<p>And I&#8217;ve got nobody to call</p>
<p>My back is tighter than my shoelaces</p>
<p>Against the corner of the wall.</p>
<p>I called the woman who knows everything</p>
<p>When I had nowhere else to go</p>
<p>She said, &#8220;I know exactly what you need&#8221;</p>
<p>And when I showed up at her door</p>
<p>A miniaturization of myself</p>
<p>Was cradled softly in her arms</p>
<p>She said, &#8220;Take it home and treat it very well,</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t do this figure harm.&#8221;</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t believe that no one&#8217;s thought of a personal voodoo magic doll</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t go anywhere without my own personal voodoo magic doll</p>
<p>Well, then I gave the doll a back massage</p>
<p>Ironed out all of the knots</p>
<p>I always knew that I was pretty good</p>
<p>But now I know how good I got</p>
<p>I told my doll that he was talented</p>
<p>And that I&#8217;m happy he&#8217;s alive</p>
<p>Now every night, when the day is done</p>
<p>I give my magic doll high fives</p>
<p>CHORUS</p>
<p>New York City with my voodoo doll</p>
<p>The highest building we could find</p>
<p>He&#8217;s looking down onto the streets until</p>
<p>A gust of wind comes from behind.</p>
<p>And as he falls I feel my stomach drop</p>
<p>All the blood, it leaves my head</p>
<p>For a few weeks I was feeling good</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;ll just be feeling dead</p>
<p>CHORUS</p>

<p>Keep scrolling, Listen below lyrics.</p>
<p>LYRICS:</p>
<p>We used to go hiking in the backwoods every time we had to fall behind</p>
<p>You ate a bad berry off the grapevine I can tell you’re not seeing things right</p>
<p>Looking through your brand new eyes</p>
<p>Go ahead and tell us everything you see</p>
<p>Both your feet are planted in the ground like it’s the only place you’ve ever been</p>
<p>You say your neck is catchin yellow sunflakes ridin on the California wind</p>
<p>Violins are playin from the treetops laughin at you dancing on your own</p>
<p>You got a tan layin for an hour like an alligator on the sunlit stone</p>
<p>Looking through your brand new eyes</p>
<p>Off to take the stairs up to the cotton candy skies</p>
<p>Go ahead and tell us everything you see</p>

<p>LYRICS:</p>
<p>Every once in a seldom while</p>
<p>I get so tired that I cannot see</p>
<p>Lay my back on the dusty ground</p>
<p>Feel my spirit lift right out of me</p>
<p>Like a ghost, separate from everything</p>
<p>Comatose, lost in a living dream</p>
<p>Calling out into the beyond</p>
<p>Anybody who listens in</p>
<p>I’d be happy to correspond</p>
<p>Hurry while I transcend my skin</p>
<p>CHORUS</p>
<p>Though it lasts such a little while</p>
<p>It was a lifetime inside my head</p>
<p>And I wake with a brand new smile</p>
<p>Lying face up on the forest bCHORUS</p>

<p>LYRICS:</p>
<p>After the fireworks are done exploding</p>
<p>And everybody starts to wander home</p>
<p>We’ll sit around and watch the headlights fading</p>
<p>Til we don’t feel like sittin down no more rest assured</p>
<p>We were fine</p>
<p>Just wastin Time</p>
<p>Fourth of July</p>
<p>Filled up all</p>
<p>On alcohol</p>
<p>Hell of a night</p>
<p>Pictures were taken of the girls in dresses</p>
<p>Of drunken angels laid up in a line</p>
<p>We left and went to do some karaoke</p>
<p>And burn a trailer down with Bell inside, bein high</p>
<p>Oh We were fine</p>
<p>Just wastin time</p>
<p>4th of July</p>
<p>Filled up all</p>
<p>On alcohol</p>
<p>Hell of a night</p>
<p>Did you pack the socks? I’m gonna need some new socks I’ve got some dirty socks to change</p>
<p>You got the light? You got the light? This girls looking for the light and I got to give it to her now</p>
<p>Now that I’ve gone away I still remember</p>
<p>The holidays we spent out on the beach</p>
<p>One quick one for the days we spent together</p>
<p>Suck out the happy like a hungry leech, tasty peach</p>

<p>LYRICS:</p>
<p>Thanksgiving Day, late in November</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll put on some khaki pants, and I&#8217;ll say grace just this one time</p>
<p>A harsh world outside, but it&#8217;s good in the kitchen</p>
<p>Stuffing always makes me think of Frank Sinatra</p>
<p>He&#8217;s alright&#8230;</p>
<p>Hey, Hey, what do you say after this we all go down to the water</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got a bottle or two; something to do after all that food</p>
<p>May I please be excused Mama?</p>
<p>Cranberry sauce, garlic potatoes</p>
<p>Turkey smothered in a gravy mother made just yesterday</p>
<p>Candles are lit. People are smiling.</p>
<p>Creme brulee is in the fridge waiting for us to finish</p>
<p>Hey, Hey, what do you say after this we all go down to the water</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got a bottle or two; something to do after all that food</p>
<p>May I please be excused Mama?</p>
<p>Am I being so rude Mama?</p>
<p>I said I&#8217;m thankful for you Mama,</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s what really counts</p>

<p>LYRICS:</p>
<p>You won’t win but God knows you’ll try</p>
<p>And I will too</p>
<p>A red dress on a yellow bike</p>
<p>and your shoes are royal blue</p>
<p>You couldn’t ever just pass the time</p>
<p>In my canoe</p>
<p>Your pretty round public eyes</p>
<p>They might get the best of you</p>
<p>Just remember when you cross the street</p>
<p>You can close your eyes and think of me</p>
<p>We get used to the way we are</p>
<p>Or so I’m told</p>
<p>But you’re fishing for a compliment</p>
<p>Like a toddler with a pole</p>
<p>You snuck out to the neighbors pond</p>
<p>To where it’s deep</p>
<p>But there’s nothing in the neighbors pond</p>
<p>For a girl drenched in conceit</p>
<p>Just remember when you cross the street</p>
<p>You can close your eyes and think of me</p>
<p>Riding a Tidal Wave</p>
<p>Ridin a tidal wave</p>
<p>Riding a Tidal Wave</p>
<p>I see you’ve got a deck of cards</p>
<p>So choose a suit</p>
<p>It shouldn’t really be all that hard</p>
<p>After all that you’ve been through</p>
<p>You won’t win but God knows you’ll try</p>
<p>And I will too</p>
<p>A red dress on a yellow bike</p>
<p>And your shoes are royal blue</p>
<p>Just remember when you cross the street</p>
<p>You can close your eyes and think of me</p>
<p>Riding a Tidal Wave</p>
<p>Ridin a tidal wave</p>
<p>Riding a Tidal Wave</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Words and Music by Mike Cionni</p>
<p>If you look into the pocket of your coat and find a neat handwritten note</p>
<p>That says &#8220;I Still Think About You&#8221;</p>
<p>Disregard and discard it for me please</p>
<p>Cause time has passed, and honestly, if someone asked</p>
<p>What was on my mind right then, I&#8217;d most likely say nothing</p>
<p>The only catch with loneliness is that you learn to be</p>
<p>Your own best friend, You can depend on me.</p>
<p>Day to day the pieces slowly fade away until I&#8217;m struck by your display</p>
<p>And it all comes right back in</p>
<p>All at once, cerebral rush, into my head</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s replaced by all the days I&#8217;ve laid to waste</p>
<p>Filling up the empty space, my polluted waters yeah</p>
<p>The only catch with loneliness is that you learn to be</p>
<p>Your own best friend, you can depend on me</p>
<p>When I do see you again will I feel like I did back then</p>
<p>Or are you likely to forget, pretending like we&#8217;ve never met</p>
<p>One another</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re cleaning out your closet and you find a folded letter, never signed</p>
<p>That says &#8220;I Still Think About You&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not me, it could anybody</p>
<p>Know that everyday a moment&#8217;s set aside</p>
<p>It&#8217;s inherently implied that I still think about you</p>
<p>The only catch with loneliness is that you learn to be</p>
<p>Your own best friend, you can depend on me</p>
<p>When I do see you again will I feel like I did back then</p>
<p>Or are you likely to forget, pretending like we&#8217;ve never met</p>
<p>Will there ever come a time when I am gone from your mind</p>
<p>Or are you likely to forget, pretending like we&#8217;ve never met</p>
<p>One another.<br />

<p>Listen Below Lyrics:</p>
<p>LYRICS:</p>
<p>I know you&#8217;ve got a giving heart</p>
<p>But you&#8217;ve got a greedy mind</p>
<p>You’re wearing out your welcome</p>
<p>How do you describe yourself</p>
<p>Without sounding like someone else</p>
<p>I see your face. It’s just a picture</p>
<p>Far too much mess to reconfigure</p>
<p>The pretty little pieces (x4)</p>
<p>I can see your eyes do glow</p>
<p>Clever but you know it shows</p>
<p>It’s what you do. It’s what you’ve practiced</p>
<p>Tell me what you’re putting on</p>
<p>Clever but you know it’s wrong</p>
<p>What burning bush you’re beating around</p>
<p>Cause soon enough you’re gonna break down</p>
<p>To pretty little pieces (x4)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At such a young age he was such a smart boy</p>
<p>People were impressed by his eloquence</p>
<p>Things were looking up right from the very start (of it?)</p>
<p>They put him into school, they put him on the teams</p>
<p>All the things a growing boy would ever need</p>
<p>He was making friends and he was making perfect marks</p>
<p>He was his father’s son</p>
<p>He could do it all but he was rather bored</p>
<p>Kept his open mind in the bottom drawer</p>
<p>Everything was fine as long as he could keep it up</p>
<p>Soon enough his train was pickin up some speed</p>
<p>Intersected intellect and sensory</p>
<p>Either all the eyes were blind or they were playing dumb</p>
<p>He was his father’s son</p>
<p>You wanna know just what the problem is</p>
<p>They bore the shit out of the promised kids</p>
<p>Go send them searchin for a an alternate</p>
<p>Solution something that’ll make them tick</p>
<p>As soon as he had blinked the world had passed him by</p>
<p>It slipped right underneath while he was getting high</p>
<p>He was left at home alone with no one else to blame</p>
<p>And when the feeling starts to creep back in his heart</p>
<p>He can see the life that he has torn apart</p>
<p>He cannot ignore the fact that he has come undone</p>
<p>He was his father’s son</p>

<p>Lyrics:</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got something that I&#8217;d like to tell you</p>
<p>It won&#8217;t be easy but you need to know</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried to find the hole that you fell through</p>
<p>But storm clouds are building and it looks like snow</p>
<p>in Ohio.</p>
<p>All of the time that we&#8217;ve spent together</p>
<p>Etches your ink deeper into my skin</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ll take my own and write you this letter.</p>
<p>Better my pen than an old safety pin</p>
<p>Chorus:</p>
<p>Cause it hurts me</p>
<p>Knowing you&#8217;re gone</p>
<p>Come back where you&#8217;re from</p>
<p>Girl, the only one</p>
<p>All of the things of which I&#8217;m not certain</p>
<p>Fall into place whenever you&#8217;re near</p>
<p>But you&#8217;re gone away and left me to wonder</p>
<p>Waiting around for you to reappear</p>
<p>(CHORUS)</p>
<p>I want to let you know just how I feel</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d just give me the time</p>
