Genius:

Clearly I'm a genius if she only knew it
but somewhere in her radius I really blew it
And i know i know what i said to her
and i know what i did
what i don't know is how i could ever be so incredibly stupid.

chorus:

you don't really need to know every last detail.
Its hardly worth telling
suffice to say I said that I would be there
i never came through

so maybe i'm a genius and she just don't see it
i fronted, i should have admitted, she saw right through it
i never thought that i could be so underhanded.
somehow i've cornered the market on the double standard

CHORUS

For this act of genius and so many others
i know i should apologize and see how it goes

what am i waiting for? come on, come on, come on, come on (4 times)

CHORUS (outro)

She's wearing a t-shirt, band I really like
maybe its coincidence, maybe its alright
i keep thinking about the way she said I'll see you soon
Was it more than words?

i'm just trying to find, what's on her mind.

i don't know when i'll see her,
but i'm sure that i will
i know that its just another matter of time,
some more time to kill
and i can imagine so many things, her and i sometime in the spring.
somethings happening.

I'm just trying to find whats on her mind

Chorus:

I want peace but I don't make it
I want love but i don't give it
i want hope but i can't find it
and i want her to heal me

she's wearing the t-shirt from the favorite band
i should've told her that i was a fan
people say i should just leave it be, leave it up to destiny
but ??? for me

I'm just trying to find whats on her mind
I'm just trying to find whats on her mind

CHORUS

For you i wanna sing a happier song
for you i wanna try to right all my wrongs
for you i'm gonna break my bad habits
theres a golden ring and i want you to have it
theres a golden ring and i want you...

for you i'm gonna sit and patiently wait
its great if you're early but if its fine if you're late
for you i'll feel love and i just want to show it

you're a beautiful girl and i want you to know it
you're a beautiful girl and i want you to know it
you're a beautiful girl and i want you to know it
its an infinite world and i want you...

once again, i am open
once again, i am open

I awake to find the devil sitting near my bed.
we have a conversation.
he says:
good morning mr. Cutthroat, these are most exciting times.
We are surrounded by fools and crooks,
fools that give us dirty looks
oh so many people to despise

its tearing you apart
haven't got the heart
sit there and complain
seems a littles strange

Good evening Mr. Turncoat,
you've been watching the so-called news.
no news, good news,
don't wanna confuse
the popular pursuit
of absolute truth
who has time for such remote endeavors

i wanna disappear,
how did you end up here?
i don't mean to complain
seems a little strange

well take me to your leader
i sure could use a laugh
I hear he's made a new ?born? leader
and he ?sleeps in up her back?
who needs to join the circus,
well come on just look around
we are surrounded, by a bunch of fucking clowns

they sing la...
they all sing la...
we all sing la...
everybody sing la...

its tearing you apart,
you haven't got the heart
you sit there and complain
seems a little lame.

good morning mr. misanthrope
i sure do hope you remember our tunes.

?you are lying in? the room with the balcony
you lie on the bed while i stare at the sea
i stare at the sea, oh such reveries

riding the ponies, mexico.
the moonlight leaps through
the palm tree grows
oh wouldn't you know, we're in mexico

all of these things,
all of these things
they are such reveries
all of these things,
all of these things
they are such reveries

the oceans waves loomed as large as could be
they threw us below but you held onto me
you held onto me, oh such reveries

cuz you are my treasure, a love that astounds
the end of my searches, ?of? looking around
no more looking around, oh a love that astounds.

all of these things,
all of these things
they are such reveries
all of these things,
all of these things
they are such reveries

don't listen to me,
its my imagination
i don't even know you
it never happened
just dreams in slow-motion
they never happen?ed?
all that i told you, it never happened
never

all of these things,
all of these things
they are just reveries, oh
all of these things,
all of these things
they are just reveries

all of these things,
all of these things
they are just reveries, oh
all of these things,
all of these things
they are just reveries

so many visions, still to see
and many tribales before i may sleep
but then when i sleep, oh such reveries

see them everywhere, you know those magazines
yeah i've bought a few, they show you everything
so many newsstands as I'm passing by
rows and rows of you, bound to catch my eye

now everyone can gaze upon your body
its good for you, i guess you have no shame
never knew it how i acted, make you seek revenge
now i know, you're in magazines

now is it really you in my empty world
shouldn't be surprised,
you're an ambitious girl
with all that naked skin as sweet as honey
maybe you just really needed money
i wonder if i would be punished for my voyeuristic pleasure

now i know you're in magazines
now i know you're in magazines
now i know...

tear through pages, every ?? ?? ????
its not really you I see when i look real close
you're a little bit different
you're a little bit different
you're a little bit different

now i know you're in magazines
now i know you're in magazines
now i know you're in magazines

are you aware
when you just stare
for hours
into the sky
what do you see,
can't show it to me,
the beauty

i can see shine inside
i wanna see the world,
see it in a new light
i can feel ?steady eyes?
i wanna see the world,
through your eyes

?I watch you breathe?
sit under the tree, of peace
that you find
you take my hand
waves crash on the sand
what's done,
left behind

i can see shine inside
i wanna see the world,
see it in a new light
i can feel ?steady eyes?
how it shines,
scene changes,
rearranges
old nature's song
river is fire
river is water
the river speaks ??through wine??

(Sorry for all the ???...i just can't quite make out what he says cuz of the distorting sound effects!)

Is it the time
Is there a sign

i can see shine inside
i wanna see the world,
see it in a new light
i can feel ?steady eyes?
how it shines,
scene changes,
rearranges
old nature's song

I'm seein'
I'm believin'
I'm feelin' strong
The river is fire
The river is water
The river is sweet, sweet wine
The river is moving,
moving through me
The river shines inside

Half-life

I'm awake in the afternoon
I fell asleep in the living room
it's one of those moments when everything is so clear
before the truth goes back into hiding
I wanna decide cuz its worth deciding to work on finding something more than this fear

it takes so much out of me to pretend
tell me now, tell me how, to make amends
maybe we need to see the daylight
leave behind the half-life
don't you see i'm breaking down

oh lately, something here don't feel right
this is just a half-life
is there really no escape, no escape from time of any kind

i keep trying to understand this thing and that thing, my fellow man
i guess i'll let you know when i figure it out
and i don't mind a few mysteries
they can stay that way it's fine by me
but you are another mystery i am missing

it takes too much out of me to pretend
maybe we need to see the daylight
leave behind the half-life
don't you see i'm breaking down
oh lately, something here don't feel right
this is just a half-life
is there really no escape, no escape from time, of any kind

come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love, again

cuz lately, something here don't feel right
this is just a half-life
without you i am breaking down
oh wake me, i wanna see the daylight
save me from this half-life
let's you and i escape
escape from time

come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love
come on lets fall in love, again

Chimera

born scorpio boy
chased by storms, always safe
i rush out of bed
tornado is dead
in its wake sunlight, ?land in a brute?
taken down south to a hurricane town
fallen down palms
wishing for snowbound home

robbed by time
in the shadows of birds
fortunes won and lost
and still i am wandering, wandering, wandering

******************

Start Again

peace has lost its meaning
now we've hit the ceiling
all is said and all is done here, oh start again

you're better than you think so
something i hold onto
i'm better too holding onto you, start again

chorus:
so meet me and we'll drive this car away
we can leave right now, what do you say
we'll head out for the wide and open spaces if we can('t?) clear the way

save yourself don't save me
save the one you may be
let it be the best that it can be, start again

chorus three times
