If you see me looking in the mirror on the other side,
Don't be afraid I'm here to help you.
I've got a warning, listen to me and I'll be your guide.
Black Rock, don't know where to find you.
If there's black in your white,
If there's wrong in your right,
How come you always gotta take so long?
If there's day in your night,
If there's peace in your fight,
Black Rock, don't know where to find you.
I can stop time, reverse it to the moment when you most regret.
So tell me when do you want to go?
It's never easy picking up the pieces with a broken net.
Black Rock, don't know where to find you.
If there's black in your white,
If there's wrong in your right,
How come you always gotta take so long?
If there's day in your night,
If there's peace in your fight,
Black Rock, don't know where to find you.
I'll be good, please tell me when it's over.
Now it's all over, you're a hero, yes you've saved the day.
Stand up, be proud now, and take a bow.
My work is finished. It's time to be on my way.
Black Rock, don't know where to find you.
If there's black in your white,
If there's wrong in your right,
How come you always gotta take so long?
If there's day in your night,
If there's peace in your fight,
Black Rock, don't know where to find you.
I'll be good, please tell me when it's over.
I've been good now tell me that it's over.

Another Fine Mess
02:58
|

|
Well it took two days to make it,
And just one day to break it.
Into the fire and under the wire,
What another fine mess you made, dear.
It took two weeks to choose it,
And only one day to lose it.
After it's gone we'll string you along.
It's just another fine mess you've made, dear.
Frequency
You're coming in clear.
Grab the radio before you go,
And make your getaway, dear.
Sympathy
It falls on deaf ears.
It's coming for you, whatever you do.
It's another fine mess you've made, dear.
Well it took two months to grow it,
One day to blow it.
Better lock the door, stay down on the floor.
What another fine mess you've made, dear.
It took two years to earn it,
And only one day to burn it.
Now you're on the run with an empty gun.
It's another fine mess you've made, dear.
Frequency
You're coming in clear.
Grab the radio before you go,
And make your getaway, dear.
Sympathy
It falls on deaf ears.
It's coming for you, whatever you do.
It's another fine mess you've made, dear.

A Fan's Lament
04:22
|
|||
|
When I first heard them on the radio
I swear that time stood still.
I bought their album, played it non-stop on my stereo
I couldn't get my fill.
But that was over three years ago.
-Where did they go?
It seems that nobody knows.
Time moves on, like a faded song.
I joined their fan club, hung up posters, taped their videos,
I was there biggest fan.
Stood in line all night for tickets to their sold out show.
They were the greatest band.
That all seems like so long ago.
-Where did they go?
I hear they're back in the studio.
And now time moves on like a hopeful song.
There's a new album coming out.
There's a new album coming out.
There's a new record coming out.
There's a new album coming out,
And I'll be the first one in line.
When I first learned I'd hear my band once more
I swear my heart stood still.
I counted down the days when I would hit the record store.
The news was such a thrill.
Now there's only one day to go,
-Where did time go?
To resurrect them on my stereo.
And now time moves on lke a skipping song.
There's a new album coming out.
There's a new album coming out.
There's a new record coming out.
There's a new album coming out,
And I'll be the first one in line.
Yeah!
There's a new album coming out.
There's a new album coming out.
There's a new record coming out.
There's a new album coming out,
And I'll be the first one in line.
When I got home I put the record on,
I couldn't trust my ears.
It seems the band had changed their sound
And left me all alone.
It was my greatest fear.
What happened to the band that I know?
-Where did they go?
I guess we've got three more years to go.
And now time moves on like distant song.

Saturday Night
03:14
|

|
Don't go to bed on a Saturday night.
The day doesn't end when you turn out the light.
You can close your eyes and dream all you like,
But you can never make up a lost Saturday night.
Time passes slowly from day to day,
And the weekends just seem to fly by.
You keep your head down and work, and pray
That you'll make it to bed every night.
All work and no play
Will make you old and gray.
You've got to work it all out
Before it all goes away.
Don't go to bed on a Saturday night.
The day doesn't end when you turn out the light.
You can close your eyes and dream all you like,
But you can never make up a lost Saturday...
Don't go to bed on a Saturday night.
The day doesn't end when you turn out the light.
You can close your eyes and dream all you like,
But you can never make up a lost Saturday night.
Ten mintues from yesterday
We were having the time of our lives.
Then you threw it all away
When you suddenly left to go hide.
All work and no play
Will make you old and gray.
You've got to work it all out
Before it all goes away.
Don't go to bed on a Saturday night.
The day doesn't end when you turn out the light.
You can close your eyes and dream all you like,
But you can never make up a lost Saturday...
Don't go to bed on a Saturday night.
The day doesn't end when you turn out the light.
You can close your eyes and dream all you like,
But you can never make up a lost Saturday night.

The Ballad of Bruce
04:59
|
|||
|
Crash land on a real long day.
Tied up, they dragged you away.
Look up to see where you've gone.
Burned out. We've only begun.
Thrown down into a pit of night.
Heads up, get ready to fight.
Raise your hand to save your life.
Walking, on the edge of a knife.
Wait...
Seems like a couple of years.
There's been too many fights
And to many tears.
Wait...
Why can't we all get along?
Remember the smiles.
Remember the song:
Every time I close my eyes
I see Christmas crossed with the 4th of July.
Even when my day goes awry,
I've got this groovy feeling deep down inside.
Every time I close my eyes
It's like Christmas crossed with the 4th of July.
Even when I'm hurting inside,
I keep my chin up and swallow my pride.
So the hero rides out alone,
Searching for a way to go home.
Faced himself along the way,
Buried the very same day.
Was it real or just a dream?
Crazy, it's hard to believe.
Woke the demons with his voice.
Too late. You made the wrong choice.br>
Wait...
Seems like a couple of years.
There's been too many fights
And to many tears.
Wait...
Why can't we all get along?
Remember the smiles.
Remember the song:
Every time I close my eyes
I see Christmas crossed with the 4th of July.
Even when my day goes awry,
I've got this groovy feeling deep down inside.
Every time I close my eyes
It's like Christmas crossed with the 4th of July.
Even when I'm hurting inside,
I keep my chin up and swallow my pride.
Now it's time to take your stand.
Courage. It's all part of the plan.
Gather troops and ready arms.
Battle! Now sound the alarms.
Best your foes to win the war.
Burned out. Too tired and sore.
Look out before you get it wrong.
Too late! You're taking too long.
Wait...
Seems like a couple of years.
There's been too many fights
And to many tears.
Wait...
Why can't we all get along?
Remember the smiles.
Remember the song:
Every time I close my eyes
I see Christmas crossed with the 4th of July.
Even when my day goes awry,
I've got this groovy feeling deep down inside.
Every time I close my eyes
It's like Christmas crossed with the 4th of July.
Even when I'm hurting inside,
I keep my chin up and swallow my pride.

On An Ordinary Day
03:14
|

|
While everybody was away,
Bill stayed home in his pajamas to watch TV.
There was no where else to go.
While holding his remote control,
He settled down to watch the world end
On his big screen.
I've got the whole world here in my bedroom.
(It's just a matter of time before the whole thing explodes.)
I've got a front row seat to the end.
(It's just a matter of time. It's all a matter of time.)
Why would I ever want to leave...
...Here. Here in my room.
Watching the world.
Inside my bedroom windows.
Here. Here in my room.
Watching the world.
In high definition.
I've got the whole world here in my bedroom.
(It's just a matter of time before the whole thing explodes.)
I've got a front row seat to the end.
(It's just a matter of time. It's all a matter of time.)
Why would I ever want to go out?
So Bill continued all alone
Cut off from everyone at home
While he continue to stay current with his TV.
He was ready for the worst.
He'd be the one to see it first,
And he could watch it happen here at home
On big screen.
I've got the whole world here in my bedroom.
(It's just a matter of time before the whole thing explodes.)
I've got a front row seat to the end.
(It's just a matter of time. It's all a matter of time.)
Why would I ever want to leave...
...Here. Here in my room.
Watching the world.
Inside my bedroom windows.
Here. Here in my room.
Watching the world.
In high definition.
I've got the whole world here in my bedroom.
(It's just a matter of time before the whole thing explodes.)
I've got a front row seat to the end.
(It's just a matter of time. It's all a matter of time.)
Why would I ever want to go out?

Infinite In Between
05:48
|
|||
|
Did you ever wake up
In the middle of a dream?
Amid your everyday routine,
And wonder what it all means?
Did you ever look up
At all the stars in the sky?
While the world passes by,
While you're questioning why?
You look for all the answers.
Grasping for truth, for something you can prove.
You're drowning in the questions,
But if you want to know, just where can you go?
If you want to find me
I'm in the space in between.
The infinite in between.
I'm in the moment
Before you wake from a dream.
The infinite in between.
I'm in the instant
Betwen the light and the dark.
Between the flame and the spark.
Divide by zero,
And you will know what I mean.
I am the infinite in between.
Now it's time to get up.
You've got to read between the lines.
'Cause when your world's undefined,
It's time to open your mind.
But you're much to fed up
To try and change your point of view.
So when the world freezes blue,
You hit reset and you're through.
You're searching for the answers.
Grasping for clues, for something you can't lose.
You're struggling with the questions.
Like where can you find your own peace of mind.
If you want to find me
I'm in the space in between.
The infinite in between.
I'm in the moment
Before you wake from a dream.
The infinite in between.
I'm in the echo
Of other moments gone by.
I'm in the blink of an eye.
Divide by zero,
And you will know what I mean.
I am the infinite in between.
If you want to find me
I'm in the space in between.
The infinite in between.
I'm in the moment
Before you wake from a dream.
The infinite in between.
I'm in the instant
Betwen the light and the dark.
Between the flame and the spark.
Divide by zero,
And you will know what I mean.
I am the infinite in between.

Run For Your Life
03:45

Reach for the sky!
When you were young you knew everything.
Took on the world all alone.
Now you're stuck holding your broken dreams,
With no place you can call home.
Hold on! Hold on to what you've got.
Better move on. Go on, take your last shot.
Ready or not.
Run for your life!
You've got the whole world coming after you.
Head for the skies!
This world's not big enough to hold you any more.
Now everyone has their crazy scheme
To take them right to the top.
You'll be the ruler of everything,
Until the world makes you stop.
Hold on! Hold on to what you've got.
Better move on. Go on, take your last shot.
Ready or not.
Run for your life!
You've got the whole world coming after you.
Head for the skies!
This world's not big enough to hold you any more.
Run for your life!
You've got the whole world coming after you.
Head for the skies!
This world is gonna be the death of me!
Run for your life!
You've got the whole world coming after you.
Head for the skies!
This world's not big enough to hold you any more.

My Dreams
04:09
|

|
I'm standing on the back of the crowds of those who came before me.
I can't deny and say I didn't put some of them there myself.
Their broken dreams lay shattered on the ground beside them.
While mine live on, ever strong standing tall and proud like I am.
I'm standing on the stage ready for the world to come adore me.
They'll realize that the prize was with me all along.
The time has come, the spotlight's here before me.
Now I go on with a song and show them why they love me.
These are my dreams, don't stand in my way.
I owe it to myself to make sure that they come true in any way.
These are my dreams, don't you hear what I say?
They're gonna come true no matter what you do so don't get in my way.
I'm standing on a wall looking at the whole world down below me.
I can't deny and say it's not a little lonely at the top.
That's the price you pay. These dreams are neverending.
And mine live on, ever strong, and I'm sure they'll never stop.
These are my dreams, don't stand in my way.
I owe it to myself to make sure that they come true in any way.
These are my dreams, don't you hear what I say?
They're gonna come true no matter what you do so don't get in my way.
I just want you to be proud of me.
Everyone to be so proud of me.
I'm living the dream.
I get to be free.
These are my dreams, don't stand in my way.
I owe it to myself to make sure that they come true in any way.
These are my dreams, don't you hear what I say?
They're gonna come true no matter what you do so don't get in my way.

Today's the day,
We're headed for the stars.
We'll leave the world behind us.
The universe is ours.
Today's the day
The future lies ahead.
Nothing now can stop us.
A new life to be led.
When you see us flying overhead
Don't try to warn us.
Prepare the way before us,
And join in on the chorus.
