Thanks a lot, I’m feeling fine Despite these awful thoughts of mine, it’s alright Heartbeat keeping track of time and Sending signals for my mind to unwind So I sit here strumming strings and Trying to forget the things that have been Through it all I dare to gleam Upon a face I’ve never seen, what a dream Pondering the pieces of my history Catching glimpses of the way it’s meant to be Answering the stranger at the door I’ve never felt like this before He was raised the right-wing way And there’s no harm in that I pray, it’s okay As long as I don’t have to pay Upon the sacred judgment day, then I’ll play (along) I guess I’m not the only one I chose to stay, they choose to run from the son Finally the time has come, unleash the pandemonium from above Pondering the pieces of my history Catching glimpses of the way it’s meant to be Answering the stranger at the door I’ve never felt like this before

Angelo, don’t you know? Oh, you can make it if you try Let it go, take it slow I suspect you’re in for a surprise Never let ‘em tell you that you’re headed for a wall Never let ‘em tell you that your head is too small You’re the only one who’s gonna tell you what to do Put it all together, now it’s nothing but the truth Angelo, where’d you go? Well I’ve been searching high and low ‘Cause the big bad world is no place for a child Angelo, come on home Out there lost and all alone His poor imagination’s running wild Angelo, to and fro Oh, you put your teachers through a trial Bells all toll, start the show Oh, you turn an inch into a mile Never let ‘em tell you that you’re headed for a wall Never let ‘em tell you that your head is too small You’re the only one who’s gonna tell you what to do Put it all together, now it’s nothing but the truth Angelo, where’d you go? Well I’ve been searching high and low ‘Cause the big bad world is no place for a child Angelo, come on home Out there lost and all alone His poor imagination’s running wild Angelo, way to go Knew you had it in you all this time Ten years old, room to grow See that fire burning in his eyes Never let ‘em tell you that you’re headed for a wall Never let ‘em tell you that your head is too small You’re the only one who’s gonna tell you what to do Put it all together, now it’s nothing but the truth Angelo, where’d you go? Well I’ve been searching high and low ‘Cause the big bad world is no place for a child Angelo, come on home Out there lost and all alone His poor imagination took his mind on a vacation That poor imagination’s running wild

Honey, I I never knew, oh oh What it was like To be free And honey, I I never knew, oh no Till there was you Without a me All alone, all you need Are a couple notes and some words to sing I put my eggs in a basket, fear in a casket, a smile upon my face Ghosts in the graveyard, the paint on a boxcar, everything in its place Honey, I I always knew, oh oh That it was not Meant to be And honey, I I always knew, yes it’s true That we were through Before you ever said anything, ever said anything to me All alone, all you need Are a couple notes and some words to sing I put my eggs in a basket, fear in a casket, a smile upon my face Chalk on the concrete, kids in the backseat, planets in outer space Sheets on a mattress, eyes on the actress, harmonica in its case Ghosts in the graveyard, the paint on a boxcar, everything in its place And it was not a big surprise No I was not a bit surprised Oh it was not a big surprise to me But that don’t take away the sting All alone, all you need Are a couple notes and some words to sing I put my eggs in a basket, fear in a casket, a smile upon my face Chalk on the concrete, kids in the backseat, planets in outer space Sheets on a mattress, eyes on the actress, camera in its case Ghosts in the graveyard, the paint on a boxcar, everything in its place Oh yeah, everything in its place Yeah, everything in its place Oh yeah, everything in its place

Hear the rain fall along my misty window It keeps the beat while I’m holed up inside Hand reaching from beneath my pillow To bridge the gap of a great divide You tell me you just want to stay forever As we get lost in each other’s eyes Told you my heart is a rollercoaster So you buckled up and prepared for the ride It was a dream right from the start of it Butterflies throughout every part of it Why does it always have to rain on a holiday? How is it that you know exactly what I’m gonna say? It makes me wonder if I should’ve said it anyway Oh, I never wanna frown on my yesterdays (No, oh oh oh) The heart is a rollercoaster It’s raining, it’s pouring and when life gets boring It’s time to rearrange, gotta make a change Everybody needs a little place where they can just escape Rain, rain, go away, come again another day And if you could, I wish you would please wash away all my mistakes ‘Cause I could really use a clean slate It was a dream right from the start of it Butterflies throughout every part of it Why does it always have to rain on a holiday? How is it that you know exactly what I’m gonna say? It doesn’t matter ‘cause I’ll probably say it anyway Oh, I never wanna frown on my yesterdays Why does it always have to rain on a Saturday Just when the kids are about to go outside and play If only one of us could keep all the storms at bay Oh, I guess that’s just the state of the world today My little girl, I just wanna hold you so tight And tell you everything is gonna be alright You were my dream girl from the start of it Butterflies throughout every part of it Why does it always have to rain on a holiday? How is it that you know exactly what I’m gonna say? It doesn’t matter ‘cause I’m gonna say it anyway Oh, I never wanna frown on my yesterdays Why does it always have to rain on a Saturday Just when the kids are about to go outside and play If only one of us could keep all the storms at bay Oh, I guess that’s just the state of the world today (No, oh oh oh) The heart is a rollercoaster

(Lyrics by Water & Gilmour of Pink Floyd) You say the hill’s too steep to climb Chiding You say you’d like to see me try Climbing You pick the place and I’ll choose the time And I’ll climb the hill in my own way Just wait a while for the right day And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds, I look down Hearing the sound of the things you said today Fearlessly, the idiot faced the crowd Smiling Merciless, the magistrate turns round Frowning And who’s the fool who wears the crown? No doubt, in your own way And everyday is the right day And as you rise above the fear lines in his brow, you look down Hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd

I’m not a singer, but a poet If you would listen closely, you would know it Because the words will rhyme until the end of time Unless the idioms refuse to show it And if I loved you, for maybe just one day Would that funny feeling stay? Well I’m a poet, and not a singer But it’s the only way that I can bring her To feel the pain inside As if it’s justified by music And if you loved me, for maybe just one day Would my spectrum fade to grey? I’m not a leader, rather solo But if you know the words, then I will follow Because I’d rather die than make a compromise To live a life that leaves me feeling hollow And if I loved her, for maybe just one day Would you let it stand in our way? Well I’m a poet, and not a singer But it’s the only way that I can bring her To feel the pain inside As if it’s justified by music And if she loved me, for maybe just one day Would this sorrow go away? For maybe just one day

Hold on, you always want what ya can’t have And slow down, you know you only get one chance So hold on, you always want what ya can’t have And slow down, you know you only get one chance Say, whatcha doing? You know that path’s gonna lead to ruin Say, what’s the deal? It’s not always about what you feel Say, what’s the reason The clock hands are so high when you’re leaving Say, what’s your name? I can’t remember when you play this game So hold on, you always want what ya can’t have And slow down, you know you only get one chance So hold on, you always want what ya can’t have And slow down, you know you only get one chance Say, what’s your problem? I promise this ain’t the way to solve them It’s not in your nature Oh, to promote this kind of danger Where is your mind? I’ve been wondering all this time Commit your crime And we’ll be speaking for the last time So hold on, you always want what ya can’t have And slow down, you know you only get one chance So hold on, you always want what ya can’t have And slow down, you know you only get one chance

Going out to the city today There’s a girl down by the lake She’s got me dreaming ‘bout a new escape From the long, cold nights and tumbleweed days Show me skyscrapers and neon lights The seawall, Lake Shore Drive See the blue water and deep brown eyes How I tried to frame this moment in time, singing You’re not alone, Chicago And I wonder how The stars are gonna greet me as I’m rolling south ‘Cause I’m headed home tomorrow But this ain’t goodbye It’s only “see you later” till the summertime, yeah Well, the wok was hot, but the wind was cold, Now I’m dropping peppers down onto the table And we walked up and down the empty roads In the land of the flames where the city kids roam Got your sunglasses and a black guitar, please Play me something, just strum from the heart I wanna stay forever, but it’s getting dark Gotta make that train, so we’d better run hard, singing You’re not alone, Chicago And I wonder how The stars are gonna greet me as I’m rolling south ‘Cause I’m headed home tomorrow But this ain’t goodbye It’s only “see you later” till the summertime, yeah Grey skies, weather rare Fog urges, we dare Grey skies, weather rare Fog’s urging, gotta take that dare with your Grey skies and your weather rare When the fog is urging, gotta take that dare, singing You’re not alone, Chicago And I wonder how The stars are gonna greet me as I’m rolling south ‘Cause I’m headed home tomorrow But this ain’t goodbye It’s only “see you later” till the summertime, but Don’t let me go, Chicago From my favorite stranger, to a kiss exchanger, yeah Don’t let me go, Chicago

There was a girl who lived inside a balloon Ever floating upwards, she was headed for the moon Frightened by her altitude, she wanted to come down ‘Cause it's been at least a decade since her feet have felt the ground And she knew there was a mountain she must climb Yet the girl believed that someday she would shine All the other children failed to realize It's just a matter of time There was a boy who lived inside of a mirror Leaving his reflection to confront the things he feared Weary of his solitude, he broke the wall of glass Then he jumped into the real world and he landed on his ass And he knew there was a mountain he must climb But the boy believed that someday he would shine All the other children failed to realize It's just a matter of time There is a girl who can make the whole world smile Never will admit it, as she does it all the while Everybody counts on her to brighten up the day Yes I swear the girl's an angel, there is just no other way There is a boy with a funny sounding voice Wants to be a singer, though it's not the wisest choice Always writing melodies and poetry for fun Still he wonders if his chance to be a star will ever come And they know there is a mountain they must climb But the kids believe that someday they will shine All the other children fail to realize It's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time It’s just a matter of time It’s just a matter of time There is a pair that lies underneath the sky Both of them are praying that their feelings never die Quietly admiring the spectacle above It's the mystery, the beauty, and the innocence of love That's the mystery, the beauty, and the innocence of love

I was scared right into the bluest state of mind Terrified of the unknown, and leaving this behind ‘Cause I’ll never feel another fall in Streamwood Or hear my brother breathing from the top bunk in my bedroom back home (oh no, no) And he will never love you quite like I could, ‘cause I was living for you Yeah I was living for you, and I was dying too Oh what a thing to do So I ran away, to meet the hands of time And plead with them to let go of me But I was turned away, yeah they slapped me in the face And said “son, you’ve got no time to waste” And it’s true, I’m done wasting my days on you ‘Cause there’s nothing else to do So I guess that means we’re through Now the winter’s forgotten how to say goodbye The snow in my face, it disguises the tears in my eyes Then the sun came, and made all the clouds disappear A beautiful bird landed on my should and whispered her song in my ear She said she’s from a little town called Streamwood Where you can hear the coyotes and the train horn and the cracks in the road Or so I’m told Walking through a shower on a Sunday, hiding under a tree Beneath the wet leaves, just you and me And there’s nowhere else I’d rather be It’s so comfortable from the passenger side Wondering where the sky meets the street But I’ve come to find you’ve got to take the wheel and drive Don’t know where we’re going, but I just can’t wait to arrive
