I’m running late but I’m running hard
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I got my ticket and I don’t want to miss it
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I got my ticket and I don’t want to miss it
(chorus)
Wait, wait for me
Please wait, wait for me
Wait, wait for me
Please wait, wait for me
Just wait for me
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I got my ticket and I don’t want to miss it
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I’m running late but I’m running hard
I got my ticket and I don’t want to miss it

After midnight
Yeah after midnight
After midnight
That’s when she’ll call
After midnight
Yeah after midnight
After midnight
That’s when she’ll call
And then we’ll drive
We’re gonna drive
That’s when we’ll drive
For evermore
We will drive
We’re gonna drive
That’s when we’ll drive
For evermore
Our little sleepy town
We’re gonna leave you down
We’re gonna drive all night
To the city lights
It is a starry night
The moon’s on fire tonight
And we will drive all night
For evermore
We’re gonna drive
We’re gonna drive
Yeah we’re gonna drive
For evermore
We’re gonna drive
We’re gonna drive
Yeah we will drive
For evermore

This Social World
02:54
|

Turns out it’s hard for me to speak
In this social world
But I can still get by
With the love of a girl
I got a springtime breeze
And the reflections of the sun
And the sound of the sky
And the love of a girl
Down by the river's edge
Feel like I'm floating in the breeze
The sound of kids at play
Makes the city seem silly
All those building lines and squares
And my synthesizer keys
And my identity
Is nothing but their melody
I got a springtime breeze
And the reflections of the sun
And the love of a girl
play with me like a harmony
Turns out it's hard for me to speak
In this social world
But I can still get by
With the love of a girl
Turns out it's hard for me to speak
In this social world
But I can still get by
With the love of a girl

I Get Around
02:41
|

I get around, yeah I get around plenty
now I’ve seen all the sites
in fact I’ve seen way too many to count
seen too many to count
My cars out of gas, the subways are down, the buses aren’t running, no cabs to be found, I’m tired of walking, tired of saying, I get around
(chorus)
I get around (x4)
I took the stairs, the elevator it was broken, took a train, when the plane it started smoking, had to swim, when the boat started sinking, slipped and fell, climbing up a ladder on my knees, through a drain pipe in the gutter, lost my keys, now I’m crawling through a window, tired of saying, I get around.

Society For Two
03:53
|

I almost lost you in this crowd
There you are
Let’s fight our way to there
Don’t let them separate us
Angry people's words are flying round
Better keep your head down
Let’s fight our way to there
Don't let them separate us
Chorus:
We'd better stick together
It's a society for two
We'd better stick together
It's a society for two
A scream here, a stare there
Keep your eyes on the ground
Let’s fly away from here
Don’t let them separate us
Angry people’s words are flying round
Better keep your head down
Let’s try and catch this bus
You can let go of my hand now
(chorus)

Terrible Day
03:06
|
|||
We didn’t really talk much
barely talked at all
we just took a long walk, with nowhere to go at all
but just your silent presence, as you went nowhere with me
really helped me make it through this terrible day
words, they fail me now
let’s just walk in silence on this terrible day
let’s just walk in silence on this terrible day
We knew that there was nothing
we could do or we could say
no words to make the nightmare, ever go away
but just your silent presence, as you went nowhere with me
really helped me make it through this terrible day
words, they fail me now
Let’s just walk in silence on this terrible day
let’s just walk in silence on this terrible day

Your Life Sucks

Your life sucks
and you gotta live it
Yeah you’re fucked
and there’s no way out of it
(Chorus)
you gotta live it x4
You’re crying all the time, because there’s no way out of it
you’re crying like a baby, because you haven’t got a chance
you don’t got any money
you got nowhere to stay
you keep looking for a job
but the jobs they got away
yeah your life sucks
and you gotta live it
yeah you’re fucked
and there’s no Way out of it
Chorus
Yeah you’re getting old
you’re getting ugly
you can’t look in the mirror
no, no more selfie photographs for you
losing your hair
losing your teeth
you even lost your girlfriend
and your doggie ran away
yeah your life sucks
and you gotta live it
yeah you’re fucked
and there’s no way out of it
Chorus

I got a river of shit keeps pulling me out to sea

people floating by saying my oh my what’s going to happen to me
if this river of shit keeps pulling me out to sea
