Dance, Monkey Boy

Dance, monkey boy, come raise the bar
Don't place your bets upon a motherloving shooting star
Dance, monkey boy, chances are few
This is how I know dreams don't come true
I was sitting at my desk
Not as worried as the rest
As the teacher handed out the scores
Saw my test covered in red
"Oh didn't study did ya kid?"
And then she pointed me towards the door
If there's such a thing as luck in school
Chances are few
This is how I know dreams don't come true
Dance, monkey boy, come raise the bar
Don't place your bets upon a motherloving shooting star
Dance, monkey boy, chances are few
This is how I know dreams don't come true
(Now let's break it down)
Well she was standing by the bar
As I was playing my guitar
And I could see her smile from far away
After drinks I hit and miss
When I leaned in for a kiss
But then she turned her head as if to say
If you think you'll win my heart with songs
Chances are few
This is how I know dreams don't come true
Dance, monkey boy, come raise the bar
Don't place your bets upon a motherloving shooting star
Dance, monkey boy, chances are few
This is how I know dreams don't come true
Oh hear me singin', this is how I know, this is how I know dreams don't come true
Oh hear me singin', this is how I know, this is how I know dreams don't come true
Oh won't you hear me singin' how I know, this is how I know dreams don't come true
Oh won't you hear me singin' how I know, this is how I know dreams don't come true

Hollow
03:22

I'll keep my sorrow hidden through the day
But it's not like you would see it anyway
'Cause I still got a lotta things to say
But all I mumble's don't you wanna stay
So don't you tell me
That love's all around
If I watched her
As she left town
Loving only got me feeling hollow inside
Love is what has got me in this trouble
Loving gave me chances to be by your side
But if I love someone else I'll hurt double
I'll leave her hollow
Well seems like rainy days are here to stay
But it's not like you would see it anyway
I hope that ticket took you far away
Guess I wasn't enough reason to stay
So don't you tell me
That love's all around
If I watched her
As she left town
Loving only got me feeling hollow inside
Love is what has got me in this trouble
Loving gave me chances to be by your side
But if I love someone else I'll hurt double
Honey, don't look twice towards that hollow boy
Honey, don't you dare get near that trouble
Honey, don't look twice towards that hollow boy
Honey, don't you dare get near that trouble
Honey, don't look twice towards that hollow boy
Honey, don't you dare get near that trouble

Fool Me No More
04:21

Hey you, right there
You look like this could be a good night
You look like i could make you my wife
And you can do me no wrong
I'd say
But you're talking like you'll ruin my life
And I could write you some songs
On the way
Take my heart and walk away
I've lived through this before
But don't take my hand
Love won't fool me no more
I guess this is my happy song
Don't get me wrong
I know my notes are too sad
I hope that you don't feel so bad
When I just sing and dream away
On a lonely cloudy friday afternoon
Take my heart and walk away
I've lived through this before
But don't take my hand
Love won't fool me no more
Oh don't you think it's funny
How I blew all my money
How I missed out on luck and love
Oh love
Now I feel like such a fool
For following her rules
How I'd kill for some luck and love
Now weeks are longer
And nights are colder
And I can't warm your feet from here
My dear
Hope you get used to the weather
That you missed when
We were together and
Let me say it one more time
I might convince myself
Sing
Take my heart and walk away
I've lived through this before
But don't take my hand
Love won't fool me no more

Take Me Away
03:19

I wanna see you
In the morning
When my phone hits 12 p.m.
I wanna hear you
Telling stories
As the cab takes us back home
And as we see sunlight
You say honey, it's too early to fight
Well if that's you, then
Say yes, won't you honey
Screw the money
Won't you take me?
Say yes, come on darling
I'm just mumbling
Won't you take me away?
I wanna feel your
Lips against me
Whispering to stay in bed
I wanna be there
At the deep end
I'll be the place to lay your head
And as we see sunlight
You'll say honey, it's too early to fight
Well if that's so
Say yes, won't you honey
Screw the money
Won't you take me?
Say yes, c'mon darling
I'm just mumbling
Won't you take me away?
Say yes, won't you honey
Screw the money
Won't you take me?
Say yes, c'mon darling
I'm just mumbling
Won't you take me away?

The Tide
03:36
|

It's too late to do anything but too early to snooze
Let's watch some silly videos while we warm ourselves with booze
And we haven't left the bed all day
Like sleeping in and going out's the only way
We've found to make the offtime any good
Guess I'm built for the road, like a mobile home
Cuz when we're off tour I start to feel alone
Man the crowds are getting bigger and they know most of the songs
And when I come back to the city I feel like something's wrong
I get unproductive, we start sleeping late
We forget about our goals and miss track of the date
You say "honey, our future's open wide,
Let's enjoy it, and try to sail through this tide"
Isn't it better if we go
Side by side
Hand in hand
Against the tide we'll row
Man I know I'm no position
To complain when I skipped through my tuittion
I could've been a grad with a steady gig
Now I'm travelling through the world just to make it big
And I don't, wanna waste your time
Wanna waste your money, like to spend my life
Just for one more album, one more song
Talking bout' the things that I did wrong
And it's killing me, I wanna show my folks
And my friends back home that I have high hopes
That someday, those empty shows wil be thousands, you never know
Isn't it better if we go
Side by side
Hand in hand
Against the tide we'll row
Make it stop that deafening silence
Fill it with applause or I'll fill it with violence
Give me peace for a night or two
That ringing in your ears when the crowd wants you
Now I'm back in the mass of nameless faces
If it is like they say that we're "Going places"
Let me know when we get there, Katto
Cuz right now I'm dead scared
Buy a house, when you make it big
Have some kids! When you make it big
Remember me! when you make it big
What if I tell you, I already feel big
Isn't it better if we go
Side by side
Hand in hand
Against the tide we'll row

Puzzle Piece

You are
Better than the rest
I confess I don't regret the way
That we first met
You are
Proof of happy endings
With a little bit of mending
We might finally have got this right
You are, you are
The odd-shaped puzzle piece
I'll save for the end
You are, you are
The happy anomaly I'm happy to call
More than a friend
You've got
My sense of humor
But the days are getting fewer
So I'll make space for you
You look
Sexy in those glasses
I'm not taking any chances
I'll hold you tight and won't let go
You are, you are
The odd-shaped puzzle piece
I'll save for the end
You are, you are
A happy anomaly I'm happy to call
You owe me nothing
But can I ask something,
Will you stay in my life?
You owe me nothing
Can I ask something
Will you never leave?
You owe me nothing
But can I ask something,
Will you stay in my life?
You owe me nothing
Can I ask something
Will you never leave?
You owe me nothing
Can I ask something,
Will you stay in my life?
You owe me nothing
Can I ask something
Will you never leave?
You are, you are
The odd-shaped puzzle piece
I'll save for the end
You are, you are
A happy anomaly I'm happy to call
You are, you are
The odd-shaped puzzle piece
I'll save for the end
