Pleasantville 03:44

It's Christmas day here in Pleasantville Anywhere USA White picket fences Orwellian double speak references A redefined reality confusing me Now surely there's a disconnect I don't know you and you don't know me A Politically incorrect fatality Burton would have his day in the sun Oddly enough Johnny wouldn't be the one This is a role for an American With a white trash perspective And permit for a gun Welcome to Pleasantville Population one more Than anybody ever needed Welcome to my town Pleasantville America I can't imagine ever leaving (Bop Bop ooh wee) Welcome to Pleasantville Population one more Than anybody ever needed Welcome to my town Pleasantville America You sure could use a cleaning Everyday is the same just another sunny day Perfectly the Pleasantville way Streets are paved with hopes and dreams Never any signs of unpopular urban decay I got a feeling thing's will be different today Different in the same ole way Pleasantville put on your faces we've got company Wait for it..smiles everybody Steven came and went we'll never see him again He left his whitewashed world behind for you Pleasantville America where everything is banned Including micro aggression or being individual (Repeat first chorus) Welcome to Pleasantville We do a sanitized version Of the Pledge of Allegiance Welcome to your town Pleasantville America Now open late for your convenience

Aim high Set your sights lower 03:15

Meet me under the pepper tree It's a beautiful world Life ain't supposed to be this easy Just to the left of what seemed obvious There's a boy there's a girl The whole world knew what would happen then She grew up and I stayed the same She got an agent then he changed her name Hollywood was calling but I was to blame Left on the cutting room floor Until nothing remained Everytime I see you on the silver screen You never left you're exactly where you're meant to be Yet another man has his hand there on your shoulder You aim high Then you set your sights lower (Repeat Chorus) Doing all right now if you're wondering Play out almost every night Here on the walk of fame The tips are pretty good and the weather is so nice Near a billboard with a girl Whose name I don't even recognize She moved on and then everything changed I tried to follow she was to fast for me All the kings horses kept the years away Left on the cutting room floor Until nothing remained (Repeat Chorus Chorus) Here's some friendly advice From the guy there below you When the Hollywood lights Show you a little older Choose your roles Like you don't even know her Aim high Then set your sights lower

Hey John what went wrong The record company said you got it made Even Tom knew what was going on.. Anyway Now was it all about getting paid? Seventy two bootleggers killed 100 The Calculator showed up with random numbers Brando made an offer that you couldn't refuse John said Put up or shut up Mardis Gras was made for drinking There's a revival Yes we all know the Old man's a survivor I've got a feeling John knows better Better than ever The courts have decided John wont be invited Still there's a revival There at centerfield Rolling Stone Clearly hated it Yet Bob and George finally got you to play And you'd think by now you guys could work it out Won't be a revival at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame In 72 Howard was a work of fiction Mt Fuji made the climbers pay for their addiction Sudan stopped fighting Vietnam was moving to the east Everybody listen Mardi Gras was made for drinking (Repeat Chorus)

I tried so hard And now I'm broke Got caught up in the fire Long before there was ever any smoke You're a comedy a tragedy I never gave a damn about you're Obvious hypocrisy It's been so long it's so damn cold Can you find it in your heart To find your way home? I'm sending you some Do you remember me and our life trivia We're Trending to as I Call out to you on all the social medias All night long My heart beat is pending All I want is For my night to be ending With you I find it hard to believe Your status has been changed to single and available And I'm posting for everyone to see Every step you've made is totally retraceable I'll stay in touch keep checking in Hoping you'll respond to Requests to be friends It's been to long it's so damn cold Can't you find it in your heart To find your way home I'm sending you some Do you remember me and our life trivia We're Trending to as I Call out to you and hope you can hear me tonight I'll stay in touch keep checking in Hoping you'll respond to Requests to be friends It's been to long it's so damn cold Can't you find it in your heart To find your way home (Repeat Chorus) I'm sending you some Do you remember me and our life trivia We're Trending to as I As I put down my phone And turn on the t.v. for light

Hey take it easy I'm sitting right here I'm a good listener bend my ear We got the time And the night is still young She said I appreciate that But I'm all ready done It's been a long time coming And I'm thru running I think the picture on the wall Says it all Jesus is waiting You should call I'm over and done Found out the hard way I was never the one One of these days I'm gonna get it right Good thing's are coming Just not tonight Oh they say it gets easier So Mister tell me why It never gets any easier (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Pre Chorus) (Repeat Chorus) We're all one step closer than we think I believe I told her Everybody has a bridge in mind Take one step back Give it one more try Your over and done Found out the hard way You were never the one One of these days you're gonna get it right Jesus might be coming Just not tonight (Repeat first chorus)

Having a Moment 04:04

I've seen the light Now wonder why It took me so long To enjoy the ride These are the moments that pass you by Like a warm summer breeze On the Fourth of July We live our lives without compromise Then we compromise as we live our lives How do we get there When getting there means knowing Where you're going Then what you're gonna do I'm having a moment but is it too late In twenty five I will be seventy eight Now at fifty three living means a whole lot more to me Than having a moment free The things we do today May not last forever But when we do them together Then the thing's we do today Will get us thru the day And more A butterfly on my little girls dress My son becomes a teenager Then becomes a mess These are the moments You couldn't pay me to miss I don't want to remember the good times I want to live in them I spend too much time knocking on those gates I want to spend time living No longer procrastinate Why should I worry about being late Cause when my time is done I'll be there to pay the freight (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Chorus) I don't know about you But at fifty three You know more about me Than I do

A Really Good Love Story 05:02

Who am I We both know the answer to that one Hell that's and easy one I'm one and done Master of nothing Knowing why Well now that's a little more complicated You should of known you'd get no where With this line of questioning Don't mind me There really is no point to this You may find I'm a building with no foundation Open wide Come inside The walls are Crumbling You're exactly what I need Hell I tried To protect you From the ugliness that's inside of me Where you should never be Respectfully An open mind Is exactly what brought you into this Board up the windows Lock the doors The antidote Can be hit or miss Don't mind me There really is no point to this You may find I'm religion with no creation To be crucified No where to hide Sorry if I'm stumbling You're exactly what I need The moon ain't right Still it's a beautiful night Now I'm all tangled up inside Tonight I feel like Jekyll and Hyde I may be cursed Like others before me Complicated and schizophonic This is still a really good love story Come inside The results are in and now I'm afraid History was never on our side There I said it And therein lies The truth In front you clearly evident A monster made of insecurity An over played hand History repeats (Repeat Verse 1 and 2) (Repeat Pre Chorus 1) (Repeat Chorus x2)

Hero takes the Fall 05:01
lyrics
buy track
From the moment that I held you I knew I'd never live up To my own expectations Everybody knows but the hero It's a setup doomed to fail By his own earthly limitations Still I go to work Everyday to a job I hate And I've got it made Cause I know that you'll be waiting With those innocent eyes That never lie And I swear on all that matters now Its my life You've been saving On my shoulders I would carry you To the light above the door It isn't working anymore There was no monster in the room But something even worse was waiting For the years would take you away Now I'm left painting alone Still I make it work Everyday but the end result Is always the same This old man can't stop it from raining Guess I've done my job Cause your happy now And that's really all that matters wow Both of our lives for better or worse changing Then the day arrives Your words still echo off the walls You don't understand me at all the Hero takes the fall You had your day in the sun You know I love you but I'm gone When I get settled in I'll call The Hero takes the fall Life is good Life is short Make every minute Better than before (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat first verse) That was then This is now And I'm finally back on solid ground Still now and then You'll find me making Your pancakes with extra butter And I think I finally told your mother Some habits just aren't worth breaking (Repeat Chorus) Life is good The hero takes the fall (Repeat Chorus) I love you You love me Where did the years go? The hero takes the fall

This Movie isn't Over Yet 03:37

It never registered Hadn't occurred....to me Life isn't a passing grade More of an incomplete My Wife and my Children A roof over our head Between you and me This movie isn't over yet Whoa someone's been watching over me Now I know pay attention They'll supply you everything you'll need Life is a heartache It's a hole in my head It's gettin up early Making her breakfast in bed It's kids and a job Sure to push me to the edge It's loving every imperfection This Movie isn't over yet Everyday I'm a Little closer to the truth How my story ends Well that isn't really up to you And the on coming train that is my life Is coming to a head I'm just not worried anymore Cause this movie isn't over yet Whoa someone's watching over me And I hope I've done enough To be the man I need to be Life is a heartache It's a hole in my head It's watching someone else Holding my little girls hand It's the nights that are too quiet When I could used a drunk night instead It's a phone call from the kids sayin,"Hey Dad" This movie isn't over yet" Life is heartache And I just got started We'll play it over and over and over again Life is a heartache And we just got started Life is a heartache This movie isn't over yet

Tonight it's over (Me and Buffalo Bill) 03:48

Me and Buffalo Bill Out on the range Having fun again today New adventure everyday Mom and Dad are sitting watching TV But no not Bill and me Today we had the chance to meet Geronimo how did you know That the end was near Won't be coming round here no more The fair is closing With tonights receipts Pack up your belongings You're coming with me Tonight it's over We'll erase bad memories Create an all new history Tonight it's over Inventing all new dreams With story book endings How does it go? Once upon a time Our heroes were left behind No longer in their prime A sore reminder Of how good it used to be Me and Buffalo Bill Came home today Fresh off the wagon train Been runnin down Jessie James Mom and Dad are still watching TV But you know Bill and Me Today we had a chance to meet Geronimo How did it go? When they offered you redemption Did you lose all your connections To your past remind me What did you see Pack up your belongings You're coming with me (Repeat Chorus)

Mr Coffee (A lonely Soul) 03:38

Born in 1951 Mom and Dad French Canadian Dad played the fiddle Big fan of the Beetles I locked myself away Until everyone was gone Barry said let me introduce you to Tom And then everybody knew Goodbye Mothers Milk We put it back on the shelf And then born again As somebody else I am everything That I was supposed to be Fortune and fame carried my name To the heavens alone Cause I am a lonely soul The ultimate host Mr Coffees at home He left you a note 2 3 4 at the most An anonymous couple Had a private conversation (Repeat Chorus) Two were done Then we said our goodbyes Amid corporate lies Three would take years to complete Battling the demons and the record companies Sweetheart A reluctant friend Together once again here in Boston The winters are cold Melodies never grow old It's more than a feeling For a sensitive soul Honey be good to yourself Cause I miss you to Don't blame Tom Cause we all carry on The Hammond doesn't lie It's committed to the truth (Repeat Chorus) Hey every one Tune in to the radio If you didn't know Our records still selling The stories compelling Check out the hooks The records in the books The Guitar is a ship Isn't that ridiculous Held together by strings And the insecure sings About looking back This story never grows old For I am a lonely soul

So here we are How about some credit We made it this far Hands ain't what they used to be Voice isn't automatically there anymore So we write And we play Nobody's listening anyway Your fingers My paper We wrote about liberty But couldn't save her Words and music Any way you muse it Every time you'd find it Guaranteed I'd lose it A happy medium Never existed But a truce could be found in Words and Music 1 2 3 4 1 Do it again Repeat Chorus Three up and One to find A free spirit In the back our mind A heavy hitter Who automatically Landed on four Most of the time So we laughed And we drank The colder it was The harder we played Your fingers My paper We wrote about anything That we could think of Chorus Chorus
