Aimless drifting seas of love Pointless shifting teasing love Don’t know why we rise and fall Don’t know why I’d give it all Apathy or lethargy I’m trying to decide Is it time? Is it time? To cross that bridge? We try and try and try again Nothing’s ever new On and off and on again Breaking my back in two Aimless drifting seas of love Pointless shifting teasing love Don’t know why we rise and fall Don’t know why I’d give it all Apathy or lethargy I’m trying to decide Is it time? Is it time? To burn that bridge? We try and try and try again Nothing’s ever new On and off and on again Breaking my back in two Aimless drifting seas of love Pointless shifting teasing love Don’t know why we rise and fall Don’t know why I’d give it all

I wanna tell you how I feel – this is my story I’m haulin’ my baby, haulin’ her all around town I’m haulin’ my baby, it don’t get me down She still lives with her mother, you know I live alone Baby ain’t like no other, nights I take her home Now way over yonder New Brighton’s all dark I’m drivin’ from Shoreview, and I’ll sleep in the park I nibble on No-Doze, drink a cup of Joe Smoked my last cigarette now, a half hour ago I don’t wanna sleep now, gotta get through the night Took the long way downtown, don’t wanna make that flight Just thinkin’ ‘bout baby, is makin’ my head spin Or is it the aspirin? I think I took ten… I’m haulin’ my baby, haulin’ her all around town I’m haulin’ my baby, it don’t get me down She still lives with her mother, you know I live alone Baby ain’t like no other, nights I take her home Now ’way over yonder – New Brighton’s all dark I’m drivin’ from Shoreview, and I’ll sleep in the park Aw baby, you know just how I feel about you You know what I want to do to you too Sometimes late at night I start thinkin’ about you It makes me want to cry – once I start cryin’, I can never stop

The give and take can fade your smile But take and take is more your style The absolutes are relative My principles are dispensable The spoils make it worth your while A favor petite is all you ask A mere trifle compared to the need To prosecute if culpable Unthinkable to the sensible The gains make it worth my while The choice I made led to one more A slope of need to even the score Incarcerate those criminal And implicate men integral The ends make it worth their while To walk away but live in fear That’s the trade, it’s simply clear A camouflage impenetrable And hopefully effectual Each day makes it worth my while

Dare a dream that you’ll go far Wish upon a shooting star You can have the life you chose But tonight I’ll keep you close Oh starstruck see the brilliant pinpoint lights Oh starstruck guided through a crystal night Oh starstruck dancing dancing laser bright Oh starstruck dazzled by the neon sight See your breath in frozen air Watching on a moonlit stair Ah see the frost on auburn hair Dare a dream that you’ll go far Wish upon a shooting star You can have the life you chose But tonight I’ll keep you close Oh starstruck see the brilliant pinpoint lights Oh starstruck guided through a crystal night Oh starstruck see the crescent moon so white Oh starstruck won’t you be with me tonight? Shining moonlit auburn hair Rapture gently sleeping there Ah Lips to form a soundless prayer Dare a dream that you’ll go far Wish upon a shooting star You can have the life you chose But tonight I’ll keep you close

Lonely days and sleepless nights, I’ve had a few Loner ways and backyard fights, I’ve lost a few Roaring blaze for civil rights, I’ve set a few This town is too small, I’m calling your bluff Twelve is too many, but one bar ain’t enough Gotta leave, gotta leave, gotta leave here Chevrolets with parking cites, I’ve swiped a few Lousy pay on redeye flights, I’ve hitched a few Navy grays and sailor whites, I’ve worn them too This job is too hard, I’m calling your bluff The days are too long, and the pay ain’t enough Gotta leave, gotta leave, gotta leave here Whether it’s long and winding, or straight and short It’s still a stretch of dirt under four wheels I keep my eyes focused and my hands steady Do I keep on moving? Or give it a rest? Ride the night through? Or lay down my head? Gotta move, gotta move, gotta move on Longshot plays on Friday nights, I’ve made a few Foggy days and city lights, I’ve seen a few Lady Days with pearly whites, I’ve met a few This place seems alright, I gotta get tough The road is too long, I’m happy enough Gotta stay, gotta stay, gotta stay here

A million tons of thrust go slicing through the sky The aerodynamics must let the slipstream by No blunt shape can stand the force, won’t live to tell the tale Parting like a bad divorce, booster and bulkheads fail Laminar flow, laminar flow, picture the moving air Tufts of yarn and wisps of smoke, compressible transonic shear It’s a jet stream day, biting cold but bright See the beauty of laminar flow See the beauty of laminar flow The surgical suite is sparkling clean, infection is held at bay Microns of dirt can’t get in, the filters work all day Air flows through at breakneck speed, it whisks the germs away All to give your bones a break, so they go home and play Laminar flow, laminar flow, the future is sleek and clean Cars will fly on scraps of cloud powered by electric beams It’s a jet stream day, biting cold but bright See the beauty of laminar flow See the beauty of laminar flow Show me the money, a singer says, flashing grills of gold His shoes shine bright, his suit is sharp, a million copies sold Adoring fans will stand in line, sheep brought to the fold They flock to catch a fleeting view, hair slicked in laminar flow [Laminar flow, laminar flow in proportion to aerodynamic pressure At altitude growing to infinite asymptotic release]

Streamers of rain descend from far clouds A flash and a bang, sheets of rain coming down A crack in the tree trunk, say fifty feet tall Just give me a chance to dodge the tree’s fall The horizon is dark, the wind moans and blows The clouds block the sun, the leaves swirl and go Up to the heavens, twisting in air A chill you can see, like your breath in the air You’re dry enough now – you’ll be wet to the bone Can you see the coming storm? Oh I see the coming storm Yes I see the coming storm The lemmings are all stylish at the divide And jump ever higher, going over the side There’s red and there’s blue, but nothing between To cover the gap of this echoing scene The horizon is dark, the wind moans and blows The clouds block the sun, the leaves swirl and go Up to the heavens, twisting in air A chill you can hear, like the silence… You’re dry enough now – you’ll be wet to the bone Can you hear the coming storm? Oh I hear the coming storm Yes I hear the coming storm Nothing in common, they swear and they shout They dig up black dirt to be angry about No balance, compassion, they’re mad as hell Psychotic, neurotic, who can tell? The horizon is dark, the wind moans and blows The clouds block the sun, the leaves swirl and go Up to the heavens, twisting in air A chill you can taste, like steak that is rare You’re dry enough now – you’ll be wet to the bone Can you taste the coming storm? Oh I taste the coming storm Yes I taste the coming storm She knows where I’ve gone, she sees through the lie If looks could kill, then she’d make me die We argue and fight then we make amends Tomorrow at night the fight starts again The horizon is dark, the wind moans and blows The clouds block the sun, the leaves swirl and go Up to the heavens, twisting in air A chill you can feel, like the weight of her stare You’re dry enough now – you’ll be wet to the bone Can you feel the coming storm? Oh I feel the coming storm Yes I feel the coming storm I bob and I weave to dodge what she throws The couple next door surely must know When someday I’m gone, my soul just won’t rest I’ve wronged my poor love, as you can attest The horizon is dark, the wind moans and blows The clouds block the sun, the leaves swirl and go Up to the heavens, twisting in air A chill you can touch, like skin that is bare You’re dry enough now – you’ll be wet to the bone Can you touch the coming storm? Oh I’ve touched the coming storm Yes I’ve touched the coming storm

You walk around Like you don’t know Bitter angst can’t be seen There is the sound You’ll never show Quiet ache of hollow dreams And I have found Somehow you know Of an arc that lies between us I’ll plead and beg And crawl so low If it will get you back I’ll kneel and scrape And crawl so low I’ve got what you lack On every roof the cameras Watch the public squares The mikes can pick up gunshots They triangulate by air You may be in the public eye I feel safe, don’t you? Just thieves and fools need privacy Which of those are you?

You are my shelter You are my home You are my shelter You are my home Under the covers, nice and warm We drift off to sleep Under the covers, safe from harm Pray my soul to keep You are my shelter You are my home You are my shelter You are my home Give me your hand, it feels warm Walking in the park Snuggle together, arm in arm Roaming in the dark You are my shelter You are my home You are my shelter You are my home Warm glowing sunset, gentle waves We get a seaside camp Warm glowing embers, by the waves Safe from cold and damp

Backwards on a swing You gave me a push You say it’s my thing I’ll give you a push Can I kiss you? Can I kiss you? Can I kiss you? You say no, You say no, You say no, then maybe It hurts to look at the sun I’m blinded, you are the one maybe Ice cream on my lips Kiss it all away Give me double dips More and more you say Can I kiss you? Can I kiss you? Can I kiss you? You say no, You say no, You say no, then maybe It hurts to look at the sun I’m blinded, you are the one maybe Us and no one else No games/jealousy Do what no one tells Touching patiently Can I kiss you? Can I kiss you? Can I kiss you? You say no, You say no, You say no, then maybe It hurts to look at the sun I’m blinded, you are the one maybe Sneaking up behind Don’t look at my mess You say you don’t mind I forgot to dress

I wanna tell you a story about Santa and his elves It happened late one night, with no toys on the shelves They’d gone out for some shoppin’, almost didn’t come back Right there in the mall Santa came under attack All at once he’s surrounded by eight bad lookin’ boys Looked like to get pounded, then there’d be no toys Them boys were real mad now, and they looked pretty mean They were the nastiest children that I’ve ever seen They said to dear Santa: keep your hands on your shirt Call off your reindeer and the elves won’t get hurt These bullies got nothin’ for Christmas last year And now they trapped Santa, who trembled in fear The McCallum’s were done shoppin’, they brought along family Jans For a moment they had been stoppin’, with bags in their hands When Derek saw the bullies, he gave out a yell Look! I see Santa, along with his elves! At that very moment, the bad boys closed in Santa thought he was finished, it looked pretty grim Natalie knew in a second that things were not right She ran to a big kid and gave his leg a bite Lauren grabbed another one, she pulled out his feet Tyler used his snow pants to tie his legs real neat Nathan yelled “My Santa!” and cut them with some paper receipts Lindsay dropped on the floor now and just rolled around Got under their feet now, knockin’ bad guys down While Derek and Tyler were swingin’ with bats Nathan and Natalie undid the bad boys’ pants Together they scared off eight big husky boys So Santa and his elves could bring us more toys You know Santa was grateful, and so were his elves They went back to the North Pole and filled up all the shelves Remember that night now, Christmas almost didn’t come Because of poor polar security and eight nasty lookin’ bums So to all a Merry Christmas and to all a good night Just watch out for Natalie, she has one nasty bite [Yeah one nasty bite, the girl has one nasty bite]
