Superman Bound
It seems like a dream now-
my life above ground
flyin' around, gettin' stuff done
doin' lotsa' good
kickin' criminal butt
makin' the babes all swoon
then snatching back my smile;
plunging into the sun
to get some rest
in it's tumbling holocaust.
Watchin' the city sleep
By night, the dumb, unblinking
gargoyles my best pals.
Watchin' the cars, the
planes in the air,
the boats in the Sound;
head in the clouds
me thinkin' and thinkin'
how in the heck I got
this passion for good.
Livin' my daily, foolish lie-
my life in disguise. But now
I'm flat out, a broken toy, the World
rolled to rest on my chest:
and I must taste the
only satisfactory
pity of the city
I just made safe and just.
Thugs breathe a sigh of relief
and bookies take bets on my life.
Did I doubt myself?
Did I doubt my vocation
or do one selfish deed?
I ask myself
over and over again
as I stare down at my toes
yellow, cold and numb
and watch the flies
orbit the fan
in hopeless admiration.

You & Me
Open up your eyes
See how life time flies
Open up and let the light back in.
Open up your heart
Let the lovin start
Open up and let the light back in.
I was thinking of you and me
Makin love beneath the tree
And now I wonder could it be.
Thinkin bout the times we had
Some were good and some were bad
Guitar fightin the t.v.
I was thinkin bout you and me
I was thinkin bout you and me
I was thinkin of you and me
I was thinkin bout you and me.
Lookin at you just the other night
Dancin in the evening light
True love conquers all.
Old man sittin there
Touch of grey, but he dont care
When he hears his children call.
I was thinkin bout you and me
I was thinkin bout you and me
I was thinkin bout you and me
I was thinkin bout you and me.
Open up your eyes
See how life time flies
Open up and let the light back in.

But just do.'

Sleeper Train
Written by dewey bunnell, bill mumy, and robert haimer, 1994
Found on hourglass.
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin out the window
In a long stare
Watchin the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin bout your eyes
Feelin good to be alive
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
And I was watchin the towns drift into view
Listenin to my thoughts of you
And the rhythm of the wheels
And the shadows on the hills
Leavin one more life behind
Never knowin what Id find
Such a distant great expanse
And the dust-devils, they dance
And I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
Abandon everything that went before
Ahead now lies another open door
Abandon everything that went before
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin out the window
In a long stare
Watchin the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin bout your eyes
Feelin good to be alive
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
The train kept rollin

I'm Doin' Alright
Whoo!
I got a spot in the country.
I got a dog in the yard.
I got a beat-up Chevy:
Rust kinda rough but she starts.
I got my Grandaddy's shotgun:
I can shoot pretty good.
I got a nice little garden of weeds,
Tucked back up in the wood.
An' I'm doin all right, livin' my life:
You got yours an' I got mine.
Yeah, it may not look like much to you,
But it's simple an' it suits me fine.
Yeah, the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train:
Listen to that engine whine.
'Cause I am what I am an' I sleep good at night,
An' I'm doin' alright.
I got a front porch for pickin',
I got a National guitar.
I got some lightnin' for sippin':
I've had about a jar.
I got a pretty old lady,
She's good at stretchin' a dime.
In this little corner a-heaven mister,
We have a helluva time.
An' I'm doin all right, livin' my life:
You got yours an' I got mine.
Yeah, it may not look like much to you,
But it's simple an' it suits me fine.

An' I'm doin' alright.

All the rats in the city,
Are livin' out of a box.
They look down their nose, at my life, I suppose,
An' I just laugh my country ass off.

Un-named Hero
I just couldn’t smile only frown
My life was falling tumbling down
Every night it was the same
But in my heart there’s really no one to blame
My heart was hurting in so much pain
From being broken again and again
The words replayed around my head
I would’ve thought by then my heart be dead
All the sorrow was too much to bear
And slowly no one started to care
I’d lay awake in bed at night
In my life was a fading light
My hero had fallen wounded bad
To watch him suffer made me sad
But how still I call him that?
For he caused my life to become that flat
Yet he remains my hero you don’t get why?
He caused my hopes to soar and dreams to fly
He stood by me when I fell down
When I was lost he made me found
He gave me new eyes to view life
And now I see it with less strife
He is my hero can’t you see?
No matter what he’ll always be
So when I lie in bed at night
I am filled with a different light
A new hope and no despair
He showed me I’ve got Jesus always there
That’s why he is my hero I’m left without a doubt
Whenever I’m in trouble it’ll always get sort out
I smile lift my head and sigh
To my old life I can say goodbye
I been through many up’s and downs
But now it’s all been turned around
So I can stand here today
Confident to say
Thanks to my hero
And tell him
I love you always.

While The City Sleeps
What goes on behind closed doors, private wounds, open sores
Youre your own worst enemy and cheap thrills bring you to your knees
Its thumbs down for someone you know, and its easy come and easy go
Chorus:
Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat cause you paid your debt
Livin well is the best revenge, so give em hell
While the city sleeps - its all there in black and white
While the city sleeps - through the eye of the needle, gotta thread your life
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
Its a hit or miss, an eye for an eye, live for today, and dont ask why
For better or worse, you bought and sold
They love you while youre hot and leave you when youre cold
Chorus
While the city sleeps - yeah, better run for your life
Take your troubles to the night
While the city sleeps - yeah, beggars, thieves and losers, theres no relief
While the city sleeps - theres no relief, while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - yeah
Chorus
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - yeah, theres no relief
While the city sleeps

Map Of The World
Watching the people on the street today she couldnt help but smile
Watchin the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis
Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit
This is the day she walks away
And the lights of the city pushin a good time
Asking her out tonight
But shes saving her money for a better life
Shes got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
Shes got a map of the world
Shes gonna go and see it all
Shes gonna see it all
Watchin the people on the street today
Such a lonely sight
swore she could see their dreams go by
All cars and stars and buy buy buy
Runnin on empty runnin to stand still
No time for their own lives
Sleepwalking through the danger signs
And it feels a little scary
A little runaway
Letting go of all shes done
And the lights of the city, well theyre all singin
Buy some of this, cmon
But when you lie to yourself
You lie to everyone
Shes got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
Shes got a map of the world
Shes gonna go and see it all
Shes gonna see it all
Shell empty the sand from her shoes
In paradise
Sail out across the bay
Shell dance under an island sky
Until the break of day
Shes got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
Its such a beautiful world
Glistening and magical
Shes got a map of the world
Shining away in her mind
Colouring-in her life
This is the day she walks
Shes gonna see it all
Shes gonna breathe it all
Paris london new york
Shes gonna see it all

The Best Was Yet To Come
Just a small town girl in the city lights
The best was yet to come
Then lonely days turned to endless nights
The best was yet to come
How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come
You can cry yourself to sleep at night
You can't change the things you've done
You had it there then it slipped away
Yeah you left the song unsung
Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come
I find myself thinkin' about yesterday
When you were here and livin' in a dream
In the moment that it takes
You find you made your first mistake
Like the setting sun...
You turn around it's gone
Just a small time girl who had it made
Or so the story goes
She had it there then it slipped away
Oh - how was she to know
Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come

Headroom
I need headroom,
Got to have headroom,
Some place to rest my head.
I'm gettin' taller,
Thinkin's gettin' smaller,
Time is winnin' out instead.
Well, I heard it on the news,
They're selling everything they can.
And the American flag
Is manufactured in Japan.
They're fightin' battles in the stars,
They're pourin' billions into Mars.
And layin' right there at my feet,
There're people sleepin' in the street.
Give me room, room, room, room, room, room.
Well, I'm livin' on the farm,
Where chemistry has lost its charm.
And every dusty wind that blows,
Is burnin' big holes in my clothes.
They're burnin' big holes in the sky,
Makin' people wonder why
With all our land and sea and space,
Progress is wreckin' every place.
Give me room, room, room, room, room, room.
Well, if you want an assen-ell,
The government will wish you well,
And if you steal a million bucks,
The government will wish you luck.
And they might even give you more,
If you're makin' things for war.
But if you're poor and stealin' cars,
You'll spend your life behind the bars.
Give me room, room, room, room, room, room.
They're talkin' ethics on the hill,
They're talkin' union at the mill,
They're talkin' justice at the farm,
They're talkin' safety in the car.
They're talkin' murder in the states,
They're talkin' cash to get a fix.
They're talkin' virus in the bed,
I'm talkin' room to rest my head.
Give me room, room, room, room, room, room.
I need headroom,
Got to have headroom,
Some place to rest my head.

What a pity, not lookin all too pretty, down to the nitty gritty.
Ain't a livin to be dyin in the city.
You're flyin blind, two steps behind, you're in a bind, no peace of mind, done lost your mind, it's a pity. in this daily grind. Make your livin to be dyin in this giant

Need Her Love
She gives me love that I could never hope to have,
She tells me that she needs me,she tells me that shes glad,
And if she goes away, Im like someone whos left out in the rain,
I need, I need her, I need her love.
She came in from the west, a summer breeze I couldnt rest,
I had to take a fast train, to be there by her side,
She made me feel so good, she made it like it should be all the time
I need, I need her, I need her love.
Just when I was thinkin of her, she came along and made me
Want her. I need her love, I need her love, I need her love.
If she goes away, Im like someone whos left out in the rain,
I need, I need her, I need her love.
The boats that sail, the planes that fly,she is with me.
I wonder if she wonders, if this is all for real,
I couldnt stand to see her cry because of me, that would be sad.
I need, I need her, I need her love.
She tells me everything, she makes me smile, she tries to sing,
But never shares her suffering, if things are going wrong,
She makes it like a dream, if things are as they seem the
World is good. I need her love, I need her love, I need her love.

Life On The Road
Ever since I was a child,
I loved to wander wild
Through the bright city lights,
And find myself a life I could call my own.
It was always my ambition
To see piccadilly,
Ramble and roam around soho
And pimlico and savile row,
And walk down the abbey road.
So I saved all my money
And packed up my clothes,
And I said good-bye to my friends
And my folks back home.
And I left for a life of my own.
I left for a life on the road.
Im a real hungry tyke,
And I know what I like.
And I know where Im goin:
To those bright city lights.
Oh yeah, oh yeah,
This time Im gonna get there.
Im bound for a life on the road.
Give me life on the road.
I said life on the road.
When I arrived in euston,
I was little more than a child.
And I didnt know then
That the dives and the dens
Would be so vulgar and wicked and wild.
Mama always told me
The city ladies were bawdy and bold.
And so I searched night and day
To catch a kissable lady,
But all that I caught was a cold,
cause those stuck-up city ladies
Didnt notice me walk by.
Now Ive got holes in my shoes
cause Ive been walkin the streets all night.
And Im livin the life that I chose.
Livin my life on the road.
I said life on the road.
I want life on the road.
Life on the road.
I was standing with the punks in praed street,
When a muscle man came my way.
He said, hey, are you gay?
Can you come out and play?
And like a fool, I went and said, o.k.
Ever since I was knee high,
I thought the city was paved with gold.
But Ive seen so many losers
And down and out boozers
Who were tired of bein bought and sold.
City women are a tease,
But Id really love to please.
Now Ive got blood shot eyes
cause Ive been walkin the streets all night.
And it sure knocks you out on the road.
And Im livin my life on the road.
I said life on the road.
Life on the road.
I want life on the road.
One of these days,
I wanna go home,
Visit my friends,
And see all the places that I used to know,
And say good-bye to a world thats too real;
Good-bye to a world thats forgotten how to feel.
And its slowly usin me,
And theres no security.
Sometimes I hate the road,
But its the only life I know.
But Im livin the life that I chose,
So Ill live out my life on the road.
Give me life on the road.
I said life on the road.

Float Away
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- thinkin bout some days gone by how
Time just floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to
Good friends and times that money cant replace
[d:] everytime I close my eyes Im lost in a daze
[d:] thinkin bout the things that I really want to say
[jr:] and all the old games we played at nickel nickel arcade
[jr:] workin at the donut shop, dreamed of getting paid
[d:] and when the dishes got dirty, we got cascade
[d:] and when the weather was hot, we got a spot in the shade
[jr:] well no lie before we high, always rockin fresh fades
[jr:] before the spade and the stage we was drinkin underage
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- thinkin bout some days gone by how time just
Floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to good friends
And times that money cant replace
[jr:] now I was drivin down the ave
[d:] we on the radio now
[jr:] you know the good times weve had
[d:] when were in front of the crowds
[jr:] always holdin it down for myself and the boys
[d:] and back in 95s when we first got live
[jr:] now we was 18 years old on the run having fun
[d:] playing shows in the sun, no bus when we begun
[jr:] we had a van and a plan doin shows every night
[d:] now the california dream we be livin that life
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- thinkin bout some days gone by how time just
Floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to good friends
And times that money cant replace

When your time comes and youre numbers up
All you have in life is whats left in your cup
When the whistle blows and the partys over
Dont let em drag you out bored and sober
When whats done is done and what said is said
And the dreams youve had are lying in your bed
Let your memories be filled with no regrets
Theres no second chance, theres no turning back so..
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- thinkin bout some days gone by how time just
Floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to good friends
And times that money cant replace
