Alicanto 05:40
trapped on the path of a train that's long abandoned its name the desert wastes no time in bleeding everything dry hills where hieroglyphics lay they seem to point the way a symbol starts to rise a bird with shining eyes lead us home we've no need for silver or gold lead us on forever follow your song high above the sun and the moon we hear the guiding tune now we're under your wing will you take us to the brink? lead us home we've no need for silver or gold lead us on forever follow your song

built up with the hours, that are left to be filled the ripples roll in but the water stays still carried out with the failures, one at a time you never lose 'cause you never try blackbirds and roses and hearts gone to seed trapped like an actor with no part to read it falls to me, to catch your raindrops on my tongue it falls to me, to take your daylight to the dusk and it falls to me, i'll never know when it's enough
3.
there have been so many times i've wondered just what i've got myself into with my hand upon a knife i'm ready for a fight all for some girl i wish i never knew friends said single life will cause you trouble but i didn't hear a word that they said one drunken night spent with some girl, it turned around my world now her man is aiming straight for my head oh man i hear the thunder so i'm running for cover as the lightning strikes behind me oh the winds are a-blowin' and the river's overflowin' that's the price of being free that's the price of being free there have been so many days in waiting just waiting for a break in the storm i'm afraid to go outside, there's nowhere i can hide nowhere i can feel safe and warm when i think back on that night i shudder a cheap thrill has a price these days there's a wise man who once said, "keep thinking with your head or eventually you're gonna have to pay" oh man i hear the thunder so i'm running for cover as the lightning strikes behind me oh the winds are a-blowin' and the river's overflowin' that's the price of being free that's the price of being free

pace, i think i need a change i'm tired and i need somewhere that i can take a rest 'cause i wait, i try to play it straight i say i'm in control but i am just another liar and you don't even know what you want you're so tired that you're singing along to the voices hanging long in your head they're not strangers but they're not really friends they're not really friends awake, i'm lying in a state i'm tired but i can't sleep yet there's too much to regret 'cause i'm late, you're never gonna change you're never gonna use this time there's too much to decide on i, i tried to sleep straight through, and i, i have no time to lose
5.
you were the life of the party, everybody's friend but who knew your innocence was at its end the night that i found you on the bathroom floor was the night that i lost the girl i once adored keep on wishful drinking 'til your problems disappear keep on pushing away anyone that comes near you won't find what you're missing when all you're doing is wishing you try to say it's no problem and you're doing fine that's hard to believe amidst the stench of wine i've stuck with you through this rollercoaster ride i'm beginning to wonder why i even try you took the final straw and drank my spirits dry now karma's returning and you're in its sights i'm leaving this city to escape this hell now there's nobody left to save you from yourself

and the sun hits the sky, the rope is pulled tight back to front eyes roll in like the tide and the memory could fade away but sonora remains they'll carve up his love, let loose the sound he'll know soon enough when the wind holds their howls and the memory could fade away but sonora remains broke-neck brothers lying in my hands my skies turn black again and they're falling apart, lead birthed from the sides burns out the hearts and melts with the crime and the memory could fade away but sonora remains down to the last 'til the next in the line it ends like it starts, an eye for an eye and the memory could fade away but sonora remains broke-neck brothers lying in my hands my skies turn black heart-beat hours end first light but my, my skies burn black again

One by One 03:02
according to me, it's really going swell, taking the road traveled well fallen to three, they're really dropping off, another down the back of the couch we got us some songs, and we know 'em well but nobody else wants to know another has gone, so if you see him could you please tell him to come home? it's all coming undone, one by one woke up at five, straight to the studio, let's re-do the tracks as we go is dan still alive? he's off to africa, hope he can still make the show it's all coming undone, one by one it's too late to be messing around, it's too late to be messing us around it's too late to be wasting time, it's too late for it, it's too late for it i'm coming undone it's all coming undone
8.
i could dream you, i'd believe it's you but dreams aren't my domain i could save you, be a slave to only you but saviour's not my name it's gonna be some time before you let me out into your world these wings don't need to fly they just need the chance to come unfurled you could want me, oh how you haunt me this cloudy winter's day you could reach me, and you could teach me it all the reason for this rain it's gonna be some time before you let me out into your world these wings don't need to fly they just need the chance to come unfurled
