Downtown Fate

See the blinding lights, that our fingers spark
We came here to make our mark
Close your eyes baby, none of this is real
They'll tell you how to think and they'll tell you how to feel
So we drag these starving bodies, on through the neon night
Comes another jealous morning, comes another empty fight
I'm through with uprising
Won't you deal me down some jealous hate
Jesus strike me down
This here's my downtown fate
In just a matter of time, all this right's gonna turn out wrong
All this hope, will surely be regretted
Blinding lights will fade, into the rising sea
And when the city drowns we'll move to the country
I'm through with uprising
Deal me down some jealous hate
Jesus strike me down
This here's my downtown fate
You're only slinging stories, and truth is seldom told
All our hopes and glories, get packaged up and sold
But I can't be your prophet, I have no guarantees
As the revolutions fade, then we too shall see
I'm through with uprising
Deal me down some jealous hate
Jesus strike me now
This here's my downtown fate
I'm through with uprising

Run To Love

I'm gonna run to love,
It's been hiding in my heart for so long
I won't wait any longer
I'm not gonna wait
I'm gonna stand in the fire
Wait for the hands to take me higher
It's been hiding in my heart for so long
I won't wait any longer
I'm not gonna wait
If you say so I will follow you
If you say so I will be the way
Run On

At All

We've run out of time and money, but I still believe in us honey
I'm not gonna stray very far at all, very far at all.
They world has turned a bit less funny, but I think I found a little place honey. My disposition has never been to care at all, I don't care at all, I don't care.
I'm over there, I'm over there, I'm over there to the left to the right to the up to the down.
Some conversations make no sound, so keep your ears to the ground honey. You should just sit and stare, stare at all, at all, just sit and stare at all the pretty things.
I'm over there, I'm over there, I'm over there to the left to the right to the up to the down.

There By Heart

You always say you're a big time believer
Your belly is burning and your head is strong
Me I'm in favour of pulling the lever
Let's roll the dice babe, let's move along
We'll pack up all our stuff, just get outta here
Hit the road running for a couple more years
Maybe we're trying too hard, maybe it's time to move on
Or maybe we're just two fools to be there by heart
I hear the sound of the wheels as they're turning
I see the train from across the track
I smell the fire from the bridge as it's burning
We know we can never go back
But you'll never suffer alone and yearning
I'll be the witness to that
Maybe we're trying too hard, maybe it's time to move on
Or maybe were just two fools to be there by heart
Heavy the rain that has washed us down here, heed the end of the line
I'll be your map I'll be your souvenir, I'll be the passing of the time
Now I know that you're afraid of the night
But just take my hand darling it'll be alright
Maybe we're trying too hard, maybe it's time to move on
Maybe we're just two fools, maybe we're just two fools

Hometown Reunion
03:36
|

|
There will be a hometown reunion and I'll come around
Shadows mingle on the wall, looming larger than before
Next thing you know might be the last time they fall
Hide their hurt behind the years, and pray to all their small town fears
The boys are gonna put'em down, sink into a hundred rounds
Tall tales of lives they couldn't find, the pecking order falls in line
Next thing you know might be the last time they fall
Hide their hearts behind the years, and pray to all their small town fears
So come on now we'll dress up to the nines
You can wear your fancy city fines
But these rusty roofs and flakey paper walls
Sing your secrets through their empty wooden halls
It's hard to paint a town that small
There will be a hometown reunion and I'll come around
Two strangers dancing in the dark

Little Peace of Mind
03:16

The lights are on but I'm fading fast
I'm not gonna last without a little peace of mind
Wont you show me a good time
There's absolutely no reason that we can't get outta here
What's that ya hear? Ahh we're not getting any younger
Don't you feel the hunger for a little peace of mind
I'll take you to task on every silly little thing
It's a song we used to sing
There's absolutely no reason why we can't get outta here
Aah girl I think we're running out of time, farther down the line we run farther down the line we run
The lights are on but I'm fading fast
I'm not gonna last without little peace of mind
Wont you show me a good time
There's absolutely no reason why we can't get outta here
What's that my dear? Well did you hear..
That we're gonna buy the big one, don't you wanna save some for a little peace of mind, a little peace of mind

Hardly Made a Sound
04:35
|

|
We sold out on a dream, lying on the ground
I let myself down gently, hardly made a sound
Places we have been, things that I have found
I picked myself up slowly, hardly made a sound
I'm gonna buy myself a second hand guitar, let my defences down
I'm gonna lay it all out, lay it all out, lay it all out
So call it what you like, it's coming back around
There'll be a light at the end, it'll hardly make a sound
I'm gonna buy myself a second hand guitar, let my defences down
I'm gonna lay it all out, lay it all out, lay it all out
Oooohhh
