Imagine what life would be like
If we found out it was real
Would horses grow up to be unicorns
And centaurs grow out from under our legs
Would Hercules himself come down the mount
And laugh at us all day
Imagine what life would be like
If we found out it was here
Would people come from all around to see us
And stay much longer than you feared
Or would they keep on moving on
To find a better here than here
Imagine what life would be like
If we found out it was a game
Played with pieces luck and skill
Deterministic free will
Oh would oh could we be winners
Or have we already won
Or have we already won

Party Balloons

We've got streamers
And party balloons
The relay races
Are starting soon
There's spring in the air
There's spring in my hair
I'm gonna spike it up
For this affair
They wheeled me around in shopping carts
And we laughed at every dead end
They wheeled me around in shopping carts
And we laughed at every dead end
Oh yes we laughed at every dead end
Come on over
And we'll hold our breath
And only exhale
As we approach death
We'll say hello
As we open our mouths
And we'll close them again
To recite our vows

Be Somebody

I wanna be somebody
So when I'm alone
There will
Be somebody there
We walk around the world and
Plead our case to
Everyone
Sometimes it is fun
I wanna be somebody
So when I'm alone
There will
Be somebody there

Dig Word

Everyday I say nothing
And believe every word
Everyday I say nothing
And believe every word
Word
Everybody's got their own
Underground to dig
Everybody's got their own
Underground to dig
Dig
Raping the midwest
Nine to five
Stealing their haircuts
And wasting my time
Dig
Word
And to all you
Anti-synthetics
You were man-made too
You were man-made too
Dig
Word

Fragments
02:24
|
|||
|
Callous and boneless your muscles didn't know where to begin
When you tried to save the world from all the people that you believed in
Dominos in rows fell in lines at your touch
Fragments are the only forms that I trust
Pregnant with visions waiting to rebirth all mankind
To some the future is fast forward to others it is rewind
Straight and narrow is not the path ahead of us
But you don't have to fall just to gain my trust

You Are Not Special
02:24
|
|||
|
Everywhere I go
I meet the same kid
Staring at a laundromat
Wishing it was him
At the parade
He just talks
Plans his escapes
As the marchers walk
Hold your last
Regret to the wind
If it blows away
You won't regret a thing
If it returns
Or the wind does die
Then
Dance like dancers
On their last day
Get the moves right
Get it right
Free
yourself
from the idea
that you
are special

I Love You
01:01
|
|||
|
There is only one more breath
That I will take
The same one that I started after
I saw your face
Saw your face
The world is what it wants to be
And I am here
Trying to make sense of it
Before I disappear
Before I disappear

There isn't much to do
And there isn't much to say
And there isn't much to sing
But I can't finish anything
No I can't finish anything
No I can't finish anything
We means yes in French
And you are second best
And I am a person in first
They is just a collection of us
Yes they is just a collection of us
Yes they is just a collection of us
Kids
They grow up
And then
Get clever and friends
And spend
The rest of their lives trying to be
Simple again

The Revolution
03:08
|
|||
|
All I hear are excuses and complaints
About suicide nooses shooting blanks
And all I see are people standing still
On the outdoor sides of window sills
The revolution has started again
It's all talk and a way to make friends
The revolution has started again
It's all talk and a way to make friends
Holy smokes I think I did it again
I brought the beginning closer to the end
And for my next feat of awesome bravery
I'll rid the world of all we cannot see
The revolution has started again
It's all talk and a way to make friends
The revolution has started again
It's all talk and a way to make friends
The revolution has started again
It's all talk and a way to make friends

Watch Each Other

All y'all watch each other
And say it's worthwhile
All y'all watch each other
And say it's worthwhile
But I don't know what could be much worse
Than being dead and driving the hearse
No don't know what could be much worse
Than being dead and driving the hearse
But all y'all watch each
And say it's worthwhile
All y'all watch each other
And say it's worthwhile
But I don't know what could be much worse
Than being dead and driving the hearse
No don't know what could be much worse
Than being dead and driving the hearse
