What do you dream about while I awake from dreaming of you?
While I try to turn my light out, what is it you do?
Where do you go when you don't have a plan?
Who are you when you're not the front man?
Won't you show me?
Won't you let me in?
Just show me, darling.
Let me in!
Why am I freezing in the heat while you're struttin' around so cold?
Why'd you run that honey mouth, salinate, retreat, withhold?
Why do you play like you don't give a damn?
& who are you when you're not the front man?
That's what I wanna know!
Why don't you let it show?
I wanna know so badly,
I gotta let it go!
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Show me.
Let me in.
Just show me!
Let me in!
Whoa yeah yeah!
I don't want to feel your touch.
No, we don't need to talk so much.
Just keep off my mind & I'll stop asking “Why?”
& ask “How do I get my head unstuck?”
May we forget how this whole game began?
You started a fire cuz you know that you can.
No promises here, ain't no room for demand,
All I require is your line in my sand
& how would I know if you do give a damn?
Cuz who are you when you're not the front man?
Won't you show me?
Oh! Let me in!
Just show me, darlin'!
Let me in, baby, ohh
show me...
knock knock!
Let me in!
Whoa yeah yeah...

I see you there
You're thinking that you're sneaking with your tail hanging out in mid-air.
I see you there
Yeah, I can hear you thinking;
Wheels are turning but you're not driving nowhere
Cuz it's a deal breaker
Stepping out of line
It's a deal breaker
Running out of time
When the news breaks,
I wanna be the one to break it to you.
I see you there
Misleading while you're seeking with you head held high unaware
I see you there
Don't lie to me, you know a
Breeze is blowing but you're not breathing no air
Cuz it's a deal breaker
Stepping out of line
It's a deal breaker
Running out of time
When the news breaks,
I wanna be the one to break it to you.
What were you thinking?
I wanna ask your Ma
What she's thinking
I wanna ask your Pa
What he's thinking
I wanna tell your boss
What I'm thinking.
& When the news breaks,
I wanna be the one.
When the news breaks,
Wish I could be the one.
When the news breaks,
I wanna be the one to break it to you.

Two Birds

No, I don't wanna be without you
But I gotta find my way alone.
Not burning the castle to the ground
But I gotta perch on my own throne.
I see the horizon
Two birds flying
The sun is rising.
I see the horizon
Two birds flying are worth more than one stone.
So just leave it alone.
No, I don't wanna be without you
But I gotta find my way alone.
Not burning the castle to the ground
But I gotta perch on my own throne.
I see the horizon
Two birds flying
The sun is rising.
I see the horizon
Two birds flying are worth more than one stone.
They're worth more than one stone.
So just leave it alone.
No I don't wanna
No I don't wanna, No!
I don't wanna (doo doot!)
No, I don't wanna go.
No I don't wanna (doo doot!)
No, I don't wanna go!
I don't wanna;
Just leave it alone.
I see the horizon
The moon is rising, yeah!
I see the horizon, oh, the sun is rising
& two birds flying.
I see it.
I see the horizon, yeah.
I see the horizon.
Two birds flying are worth more than one
Two birds flying are worth more than one
Two birds flying are worth more than one
Two birds flying are worth more than one stone.
Two birds flying are worth more than one
They're worth more than one,
They're worth more than one stone.

Peacock Blue

I've seen your face before
This train don't stop for you no more
Don't tell me; I bet I know your name.
Bitter, bellicose, it's true
On account of trouble brought by rabble like you
for the love of peacock blue
Don't wanna hear another dirtbag war cry
Tell me, darling, who the hell are you?
Go ahead & call me crazy
Show & tell your mind is lazy
Send yourself a postcard;
I'm just passing through
& on my count of four
I'm walking off this dance floor
You'll spare me the gaslight for today.
Any wall you run into, oh
Any trapdoor you fall through
I see you
Playing up that peacock blue
Don't wanna hear another dirtbag war cry
Tell me, darling, who the hell are you?
Go ahead & call me crazy
Show & tell your mind is lazy
Send yourself a postcard;
I'm just passing through
Oh yeah!
I can't hear you
It's time; I'm here to
capsize your boat of shame.
I can't hear you
Goodbye, my dear,
Realize you're all the same.
Don't wanna hear another dirtbag war cry
Tell me, darling, who the hell are you?
Go ahead & call me crazy
Show & tell your mind is lazy
Send yourself a postcard;
I'm just passing through
Oh yeah!
I'm just passing through.
I'm just passing through
Whoa oh yeah
I'm just passing through.

Another Way
02:58

I've seen enough to know that patterns all repeat.
Tessellated turtle doves cry underneath my feet,
But I'm not losing control;
I gotta keep the beat.
Keep on walking.
It ain't raining in the street.
Just stay on the platform.
Don't get on the train.
That shade of blue's no good on you;
It's just the same illusion again.
When you feel hot needles up your spine,
Backtrack, be nimble, leave it behind.
Fly on home;
Find another way.
Raw fingers grip the rope,
Palms burning in the heat.
Twenty horses holding still
Trying to steady my heartbeat.
But I'm not losing control;
I won't admit defeat.
Keep on walking.
Spit out that bitter, Sweet.
Just stay on the platform.
Don't get on the train.
That shade of blue's no good on you;
It's just the same illusion again.
When you feel hot needles up your spine,
Backtrack, be nimble, leave it behind.
Fly on home;
Find another way.
When you feel hot needles up your spine,
Backtrack, be nimble, leave it behind.
Fly on home;
Find another way.
Cuz it all ends the same way.
It all ends the same way.
So don't go & blame no one for the things they couldn't say.
Breathe in the air.
Stop looking way back there
Cuz it all ends the same way.
& that way ain't fair.
It all ends the same way.
& that way ain't fair.
It all ends the same way.
& that way ain't fair.
