Rain Check

I’ll take a rain check
I’ll take a rain check honey, I’m
Caught up right now, so
Wrap me up for lunch
I’m indisposed right now
Just try my line another time
I put my head down
It doesn’t mean that much
Next time I promise
I just need a break, but I’ll be back
My blood is boiling
But I’ll get back on track
Now you should try keeping still for a while
Because we’re running around, we’re always running around
And whatever we do, we’ll never make it in time
So stop running around
Just stop running around
The pictures we draw will never please our eyes
Because we’re running around, we’re always running around
And with every new day another part of you dies
So stop running around
Just stop running around for a while
My eyes are blinded by the light
Emotions stir up my insides
I’ll take a rain check
I’ll take a rain check, honey
I’ll take a rain check, I’ll take a rain check, honey

Give me money
Give me the means
I was born to satisfy
Give me power
I've got common sense
I won't tell a lie
I'm a leader
I know better
I'm the one that changes the weather
I'm educated
I'm such a charmer
I am the one that you've all waited for
I'm a psycho
You better not stop me now
You don't need to know
Cause I know better anyway
You don't need to grow
Cause I came here to stay
Give me your trust
I am the future
I infiltrate your brain
Give me your inside
I watch your every step
I control your private domain
I'm a psycho
You better not stop me now
All I wanted
Was someone who could really understand what’s on my mind
All they wanted
Was somebody who could tag along with the family enterprise
Give me money
Give me the means
I was born to satisfy
Give me power
I've got common sense
I won't tell a lie
I'm a leader
I know better
I'm the one that changes the weather
I'm educated
I'm such a charmer
I am the one that you've all waited for
I'm a psycho
You better not stop me now

Man Of The Year

Look at him now
What a career
The work of a lifetime
Never a doubt
The face in the mirror
On a magazine cover
And he’s looking pretty good, I guess
He’s the man of the year
But it’s been a bad year
He’s the one in a billion, I hear
What a fortunate guy
While humanity’s struggling to stay alive
His house burned to bits and his cat’s just died
He’s the man of the year
A fancy award
On his shelf
He keeps it shining brightly
Who would’ve thought
Only he himself
Now he’s claimed what is rightfully his
He’s a force to be reckoned with
He’s the man of the year
But it’s been a bad year
He’s the talk of the town, oh yeah
For a day or two
He’s a big fish now but the river is wide
At the moment we got bigger fish to fry
He’s the man of the year
He’s the man of the year
But it’s been a bad year
He’s the one in a billion, oh yeah
He’s the best of the worst
He’s been dreaming of this day ever since he was born
A cry for attention, the last unicorn
He’s the man of the year

Howling Veins

Here you can see a creature of habit
It wants to evolve into something else
So it’s climbing up the maple now
With a shimmer of excitement in its eyes
But we all know it’s bound to hit the ground
With its stumpy feet it can’t reach the canopy
Falling down the wayside again
While crossing the road my friend
I'm trying to keep it together all day
But the howling echoes through my veins
The risk of stranding ahead
Who is sleeping in the lighthouse bed again
I long to put my feet up and rest on the beach
With the wind flowing through my silky hair
But I have to push on
If I want to get anything done
Falling down the wayside again
While crossing the road my friend
I'm trying to keep it together all day
But the howling echoes through my veins

I fell down
On a lonesome road
And I found
What I was looking for
In the ground
I started to dig
With my bare hands
The desire
Was stronger than
The fear of the pain
Preying and digging
Bleeding and doubting
But I know
I can't stop anymore
I don't want to die bored
Fishing for a
Line that sticks
Hoping to come up
With some new finger tricks
But I know that
I can't push it, push it out of me
I put my head
Into the hole in the ground
And there I saw
A brave new world
A beetle on its back
Who are you
A bizarre charade
Multiple grotesque faces in the shade
Who are you
I don't own a word I say
The sensation from the past controls me
I'm afraid of what I can be and can’t be for you
I'm grabbing for a sympathetic ear
I need someone to understand what I hear
My mind is playing tricks on me again
I don't even notice
That I have gone too far
I’ve touched the
Trigger point
Alien invader
Who am I
To you
Who’s got a clue
Who am I
Who am I to you
Asking and answering
Is all I can do

It'll All Come To An End
03:25

There’s been a slight misunderstanding
Now it’s on you to set it right
All these pictures you were sending
Viewed in a different light
It’s plain to see that it’s not me
Nor anyone I know
I’ve never been to Italy
Take off your mask and show me what you’re hiding
We used to drink tequila
And go from door to door
In a hotel in Manila
Stuck on the seventh floor
I told you all about the bible
How it’s not good for you
I’ve seen one million bad disciples
Lead this world to doom
And I’ve been waiting
I’ve been patient
I ain’t complaining
Cause it’ll all come to an end
I can’t guide you anymore
You’re way too bad for me
The judge is crying like a baby
As you get up to leave
I have ideas, but you have money
You don’t need either one
When all you want to be is funny
Don’t take the bait and run back to your mother
Now your childhood is in pieces
But you still got your toys
I must admit I stole your niece’s
I’ve been a naughty boy
And now you want to make a movie
About the life we had in mind
My thumb is itching as I’m moving
Our thoughts are intertwined
But all this painful exposition
I don’t think you need it
Cause it’ll all come to an end
Now I’m just trying to cope with all this madness
I’m sorry if I don’t get you off
I’m sorry if I’ve been acting headless
I’ve had enough
