Lyrics
1. Kid (03:28)
(David Shaw, Zack Feinberg)
[Verse 1]
I walked downtown
To get my fortune read
She took one look
And this is what she said
[Chorus]
Hey kid
Just sing the songs
That wake the dead then
You keep them ringing in your head, yeah
You gotta get it off your chest
Don’t worry about the mess
[Verse 2]
I must confess I took a hit
I’m in a bad condition
With all the chatter
Where’s the truth?
I find it hard to listen
They want it loud
They want it now
They want it now
Just get it out
Just get it out
Just give it out
[Chorus]
Hey kid
Just sing the songs that wake the dead, then
You get that darkness out your head, yeah
You had it with you from the start
The lightning in your heart
[Bridge]
Yeah it’s gonna take me out
Yeah it’s gonna bring me down
But I’m just living for the spirit now
[Verse 3]
I’m out of luck on the floor
Every siren’s ringing
It’s not the same anymore
I hear them trumpets singing
They want it loud
They want it now
They want it loud
Just get it out
Just get it out
Just get it out
[Verse 4]
As much as everything changes
Everything stays the same
I’ve been going through phases
Turning the page in my brain
That glow up ahead in the distance
It’s never looking the same
I’m going through changes
Going through phases
Walking through mazes
Wrecking my brain, so
[Chorus]
Hey kid
Just sing the songs that wake the dead, then
Just get that darkness out your head, yeah
It’s the blessing and the curse
The dying and the birth
[Post Chorus]
Yeah it’s gonna take me out
Yeah it’s gonna bring me down
But I’m just living for the spirit now
I’m just living for the spirit now
I’m just living for the spirit now
2. Don’t Look Back (03:24)
(David Shaw)
[Verse 1]
I wake up in the morning
I don’t feel so good
Same number, same car, same hood
It’s not like this every day
But when it’s raining, it’s pouring
I could throw it all away
Take warning I think I should
Still got some killers in this neighborhood
The way we’re living is understood
Take it back from the rich
Call me Robin Hood, so
[Pre-Chorus]
Look alive
Look alive
When rubber meets road
Put the car in drive
Look alive
Look alive
Show me what you got
Put ‘em up real high
[Chorus]
I don’t look back
No, I ain’t got time
I can’t relax
It’s down to the wire
Six feet deep in the fire now
I don’t look back
No, I ain’t got time
I can’t relax
It’s down to the wire
I’m six feet deep in the fire now
[Verse 2]
I got one life to live
Spread love like an oil spill
Leaking like a sieve
Take less
The more I give
Every day a new lesson how to build that bridge, so
[Pre-Chorus]
Look alive
Look alive
When rubber meets the road
Put the car in drive
Look alive
Look alive
Show me what you got
Put ‘em up real high
[Chorus]
I don’t look back
No, I ain’t got time
I can’t relax
It’s down to the wire
Six feet deep in the fire now
I don’t look back
No, I ain’t got time
I can’t relax
It’s down to the wire
Six feet deep in the fire now
I’m six feet deep in the fire now
[Verse 3]
Smoke sesh materialize
I’m a man on a mission with that look in my eye
You know the day
You know the time
If you wanna do it well
You better learn to look alive, so
[Pre-Chorus]
Look alive
Look alive
When rubber meets road
Put the car in drive
Look alive
Look alive
Show me what you got
Put ‘em up real high
[Chorus]
I don’t look back
No, I ain’t got time
I can’t relax
It’s down to the wire
Six feet deep in the fire now
I don’t look back
No, I ain’t got time
I can’t relax
It’s down to the wire
Six feet deep in the fire now
I’m six feet deep in the fire now
[Outro]
Six feet deep
Six feet deep
I’m six feet deep
Six feet deep
3. Good Old Days (04:22)
(Zack Feinberg, David Shaw)
[Verse 1]
Changes come
I watch them grow
In your eyes
An ancient glow
I caught a glimpse
A dangerous smile
Oh my god
She’s a wild child
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been dreaming
I’ve been pushing through
I’m not the star of the story
I’ve been hurting
I’ve been missing you
I’m that special kind of lonely
[Chorus]
These are the good old days
They’re ahead and behind
These are the good old days
I have to keep that in mind
These are the good old days
They’re ahead and behind
These are the good old days
The good old days
These are the good old days
The good old days
These are the good old days
[Verse 2]
I came of age
Tempting fate
Growing up
Had to wait
In my dreams
I miss someone
Love is blind, deaf and dumb
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been dreaming
I’ve been pushing through
I’m not the star of the story
And I’ve been hurting
I’ve been missing you
I’m that special kind of lonely
[Chorus]
These are the good old days
They’re ahead and behind
These are the good old days
Have to keep that in mind
These are the good old days
They’re ahead and behind
These are the good old days
The good old days
These are the good old days
The good old days
These are the good old
These are the good old
[Bridge]
Passing through
Passing out
Dancing in the kitchen while the neighbors shout
Feeling up
Getting down
Gotta show love while we’re still around
So don’t stop
Just let it out
Don’t quit
Don’t let me down
Don’t stop
Just let it out
Don’t quit
Don’t let me down
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been dreaming
I’ve been paying dues
I’m not one for the glory
I’ve been falling
Won’t be landing soon
It’s not the end of the story
[Chorus]
These are the good old days
They’re ahead and behind
These are the good old days
Have to keep that in mind
These are the good old days
They’re ahead and behind
These are the good old days
The good old days
These are the good old days
The good old days
These are the good old
These are the good old days
4. Down In The Dirt (03:34)
(Zack Feinberg, David Shaw, Chris Jacob)
[Verse 1]
My daddy was a lawyer
Who sold salvation to the church
Your money’s no good in heaven
But it’s great down here on the earth
So let’s get down
In the dirt
Let’s get down
In the dirt
[Verse 2]
My grandad was a scholar
In the school of heartbreak and hard work
He didn’t believe in heaven
Or damnation being worse
He’s laid down
In the dirt
He laid down
In the dirt
[Chorus]
It can’t be that we’re the only ones
Born out of this everloving mud
It can’t be that we’re the only ones
Grew up from this everloving sun
[Verse 3]
My mama was no angel
She was more than just a nurse
She thought it was a charity
To keep us kids from getting hurt
Can’t stay clean
In the dirt
Life is mean
On this earth
[Verse 4]
I have no occupation
But I have some sense of worth
All the flowers blossom
From what goes on in the dirt
So I get down
In the dirt
Let’s get down
In the dirt
[Chorus]
It can’t be that we’re the only ones
Born out of this everloving mud
It can’t be that we’re the only ones
Grew up from this everloving sun
[Outro]
They say that love is just the thing to save a man
It’s not so shallow you must dig to bring it out
So let’s get down
In the dirt
Let’s get down
In the dirt
They say that love is just the thing to save a man
It’s not so shallow
You must dig to bring it out
So let’s get down
In the dirt
Let’s get down
In the dirt
5. The Long Con (03:15)
(David Shaw)
[Chorus]
Every day they take away a little piece of you
A little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No they’ll never take that away from me
[Verse 1]
People get up
Get out of your cage
The ones that control you aren’t turning the page
Boiling the water that’s been poured on your brow
Is the same hot mess that we’re swimming in now
All of you racists
Can say what you want
But soon they’ll be coming for you with more than just guns
And I pray for the day
When the power of love
Is stronger than the knife
That cut us up
[Chorus]
Every day they take away a little piece of you
A little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No they’ll never take that away from me
Every day they take away a little piece of you
A little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No they’ll never take that away from me
[Verse 2]
It’s a march of the pigs
So righteous beware
They’ll step on you here
And they’ll step on you there
The oldest of lie
To ever been told
Put fear in the heart
Of a woman so bold
And after the ashes
After the blood
After the waters
Rise up from the flood
Who will you look for to place the blame
The media, the system, the ones with no name
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s the long (long) con
Running, running
It’s the long (long) con
Coming, coming
[Chorus]
Every day, they take away a little piece of you
A little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No they’ll never take that away from me
Every day, they take away a little piece of you
A little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No they’ll never take that away from me
[Bridge]
One step forward
Two steps back
(One step forward
Two steps back)
[Chorus]
Every day they take away a little piece of you
A little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No they’ll never take that away from me
Every day they take away a little piece of you
A little piece of me
The good things in life are free
No they’ll never take that away from me
[Outro]
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
6. Only You (03:17)
(David Shaw, PJ Howard)
[Verse 1]
I don’t know how to back down
It’s not in my DNA
That’s my story
Only facts now
What’s good for you ain’t so good for me
In the middle of a breakdown
It’s so hard for me to say now
I stay strong cause I’m too proud
This is the truth
Not a fake out
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
[Chorus]
Only you
Know just how far you'll go
Only you
See the scars that don’t show
And when they knock you down
You gotta get back up
You gotta put on those gloves
Yeah I know it’s getting real rough
But you’re the one that never gave up
You never gave up
You never gave up
[Verse 2]
Today I woke up
With that feeling again
Yeah I think I know why
I still struggle with the skin I’m in
See the ripple in the pond
I watch the rock sink slow
Yeah, this feeling that I’m on
A little high, a little low
I don’t know where I’m going
Don’t even know why
I just gotta fly
[Chorus]
Only you
Know just how far you'll go
Only you
See the scars that don’t show
And when they knock you down
You gotta get back up
You gotta put on those gloves
Yeah I know it’s getting real rough
But you’re the one that never gave up
You never gave up
You never gave up
[Bridge]
You never gave up
You never gave up
Na na na
You never gave up
You never gave up
Na na na
[Bridge Chorus]
Only you
Know just how far you go
Only you
See the scars that don’t show
Only you
Know just how far you go
Only you
See the scars that don’t show
[Chorus]
Only you
Know just how far you'll go
Only you
See the scars that don’t show
And when they knock you down
You gotta get back up
You gotta put on those gloves
Yeah I know it’s getting real rough
But you’re the one that never gave up
You never gave up
You never gave up
7. Alive (05:08)
(David Shaw)
[Verse 1]
I thought I didn’t need you
What was I thinking?
Everything that I did was so see through wasn’t it?
I’ll take a shot for you
And end this darkness
Cause everything up until now was a rehearsal for this
Now I can’t believe
You’ve taken their side
After all we’ve been through
Was this all a lie?
There’s only one truth
That everything dies
But we were the ones
That were always gonna
Make it out alive
[Chorus]
Alive
Alive
Alive
[Verse 2]
She said “I’m over this fight
And what were you drinking?”
I can’t recall at all
But my breath was hinting
Into the night I crept
With all I’ve been hiding
Cause I can’t say all the things that I’ve been tryin’
Since you’ve been gone
Things seem so wrong
I take a pill to put me out
One to turn me on
In the morning I awake
To alarm clock hell
Shoot a shot of alcohol
Drop a peach down the well
It was never my intention
To take this deep dive
But I always knew that
We were the ones
That were always gonna make it out
[Chorus]
Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
[Bridge]
I thought I heard you say
Staring out into nothing
As the sky fell gray
Take all that you have learned
All the time we’ve burned
And turn into something
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
Before it’s too late
8. Wait For The Sun (02:41)
(Zack Feinberg, David Shaw)
[Chorus]
Wait for the sun
Cause it’s a-risin’ up, up
And it’s bound to reach you
Bound to shine through
Wait for the sun
Cause it’s a-risin’ up, up
And it’s bound to reach you
Bound to shine through
[Verse 1]
Well I know
That times they’ve been changing fast
Fear not
We take what we learned from the past
And I too don’t like the sound of this world today
Just look up
It’s gonna be okay
[Chorus]
Wait for the sun
Cause it’s a-risin’ up, up
And it’s bound to reach you
Bound to shine through
Wait for the sun
Cause it’s a-risin’ up, up
And it’s bound to reach you
Bound to shine through
[Verse 2]
Well I know
That times they’ve been changing fast
Fear not
Cause we take what we learned from the past
And I too don’t like the sound of this world today
Just look up
It’s gonna be okay
[Bridge]
You may have known this hardship through
Your whole life
You’ve seen the depth of those who’ve been cut
By sorrow’s knife
If you have then
I know you will
[Chorus]
Wait for the sun
Cause it’s a-risin’ up, up
And it’s bound to reach you
Bound to shine through
Wait for the sun
Cause it’s a-risin’ up, up
And it’s bound to reach you
Bound to shine through
9. When I Got You (03:31)
(David Shaw, Andrew Campanelli)
[Verse 1]
Breaking glass
Living day to day
Running on empty
I can’t live this way
Don’t need money
Don’t need the fame
Ain’t keeping score
Cause no one’s playing games
[Chorus]
When I got you in my veins
Yeah I'm right where I belong
I can do no wrong
When I got you in my veins
No nothing else will do
I can never lose
When I got you
[Verse 2]
Fast money
Love and pain
Can make a man do funny things
It’s a lonely road to riches
It’s hard to be the king
I can’t feel the pressure
I can’t feel the pain
[Chorus]
When I got you in my veins
Yeah I'm right where I belong
I can do no wrong
When I got you in my veins
Nothing else will do
I can never lose
When I got you in my veins
Yeah I'm right where I belong
I can do no wrong
When I got you in my veins
Nothing else will do
I can never lose
When I got you
[Breakdown]
When I got you
When I got you
I can never lose
I can never lose
I can never lose
I can never lose
I can never lose
I can never lose
[Chorus]
When I got you (oh-oh) in my veins
Yeah, I'm right where I belong
I can do no wrong
When I got you (oh-oh) in my veins
Yeah nothing else will do
I can never lose
When I got you (oh-oh) in my veins
Yeah, I'm right where I belong
I can do no wrong
When I got you (oh-oh) in my veins
Nothing else will do
I can never lose
When I got you
10. How We Move (03:35)
[Verse 1]
I’ve been going through the motions
Having a hard time living in the moment
Lifestyle got me so stressed out
Working overtime ‘cause I ain’t taking handouts
Everything I know is falling around me
If life is a blessing
Then show me some mercy
[Pre-Chorus]
How could anybody dance in a world like this?
But we do
Yeah we do
When the madness ends
Can we still be friends?
One love
How ‘bout two?
All together now rise
Everyone open your eyes
Do you realize
That life is passing you by, by, by?
How could anybody dance in a world like this?
In a world like this, in a world like this
[Chorus]
But this is how we move
This is how we move
Yeah this is how we move
This is how we move
[Verse 2]
Black crows singing in the sunshine
Ghosts on the ceiling
Born in the wrong time
Every day a new addiction
It’s getting harder to see my own reflection
Everything I know is changing around me
This kind of pressure
Won't stop the bleeding
Stop the bleeding
[Pre-Chorus]
How could anybody dance in a world like this?
But we do
Yeah we do
When the madness ends
Can we still be friends?
One love
How ‘bout two?
All together now rise
Everyone open your eyes
Do you realize
That life is passing you by, by, by?
How could anybody dance in a world like this?
In a world like this
In a world like this
[Chorus]
But this is how we move
This is how we move
Yeah this is how we move (ah, ah)
This is how we move
This is how we move
This is how we move
[Bridge]
How could anybody dance in a world like this?
But we do
Yeah we do
When the madness ends
Can we still be friends?
One love
How about two?
[Pre-Chorus]
All together now rise
Everyone open your eyes
Do you realize
That life is passing you by, by, by?
How could anybody dance in a world like this?
In a world like this
In a world like this
But this is how we move
This is how we move
Yeah this is how we move
This is how we move
But this is how we move
This is how we move
Yeah this is how we move
This is how we move
11. Say Goodbye (02:51)
(David Shaw, Andrew Yanovski, Andrew Campanelli)
[Verse 1]
Caught a cab on Broadway and 72nd
She was blacked out high as hell
Passed out and wrecked it
I can’t tell you how
I can’t tell you why
No, not like this
No, not tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
There I go again
Stuck in that moment
God I’m wearing thin
Just give me something
Cause I need you now
More than ever
I can’t make it out
[Chorus]
Cause we were on fire
Before the mind games
Before the world changed overnight
She was all mine
Before the hurricane
Before we had a chance
To say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Thinking back on a time when that big house was empty
Now I’m just up all night
With the letters that you sent me
Oh the way she loved
Oh the way she lied
Oh, I lost it all that night
[Pre-Chorus]
There I go again
Stuck in that moment
God I’m wearing thin
Just give me something
Cause I need you now
More than ever
I can’t make it out
[Chorus]
Cause we were on fire
Before the mind games
Before the world changed overnight
She was all mine
Before the hurricane
Before we had a chance
To say goodbye
[Bridge]
Now I’m getting wasted
Cause I don’t wanna face this
I’m still trying to chase it down tonight
Feeling like I’m fading
Gotta find a way back
To a time and place
When you were mine
[Outro]
So I could say goodbye
So I could say goodbye
12. Pour It Out Into The Night (04:57)
(David Shaw, Suzannah Powell)
[Verse 1]
Going over the edge
Of the great divide
It’s all downhill from here
But it’s a hell of a ride
[Chorus]
Just pour it out into the night, night, night
Just pour it out into the night, night, night
Just pour it out into the night
[Verse 2]
You’re in over your head
Going out of your mind
Down there in the deep end
While the waters rise
[Chorus]
Just pour it out into the night, night, night
Just pour it out into the night, night, night
Just pour it out into the night
[Verse 3]
Every morning I wake to the sweetness of your sound
Every morning I wake to siren’s ringing out
Oh, it’s a crazy mixed up wild world
But every morning I awake to my little baby girl
And it’s a sweet, sweet life
It’s a sweet, sweet life
It's a sweet, sweet life
It's a sweet, sweet life
