Impossible Mission It seemed like an impossible mission, floating over the ocean, shoving out into nothing, standing where no one was standing. The builders are building the buildings, the people are stopping and staring, the city is thick like a blanket, the future is ever uncertain. hey hey hey…what do you say. She pointed the radar gun and dared me to run She said I dare you to run. It seemed like an impossible mission, both here in this tiny apartment, loving like our lives were in balance, expecting nothing at all. Chorus

KALEIDOSCOPE GUN I STARED DOWN THE BARREL OF A KALEIDOSCOPE GUN THERE WAS NOWHERE I COULD TURN, NOWHERE I COULD RUN I COULDN’T MAKE OUT ANYTHING BEHIND THE BUTTERFLY STORM BUT I DIDN’T REALLY FEEL LIKE WE WOULD BE IN ANY HARM I WOKE IN A FEVER AND THE WORLD WAS UPSIDE DOWN I SWAM IN THE SKY AND SHOT AN ARROW THROUGH THE GROUND THERE WOULD BE 44 DAYS AND 43 NIGHTS BEFORE JEHOVA CAME BACK TO TOUCH THE ISREALITES I WAS COMING DOWN HARD FROM WHEREVER I WAS STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF A KALEIDOSCOPE GUN FROM A BUTTERFLY STORM INTO A FIREY SEA WAS LIKE THE GATES OF INSANITY WERE POURED OUT OVER ME

I May I May 03:10
I may I may Right now is waiting on the someday, feeling for an ok, staring through the heat haze. Right now is tumbleweed and stillness, in between and hopeless, power-line and progress Will you…I may I may Could you…I may I may…Someday I may Please don’t think that it was the plan, the heartache for the tin man, the ballet in the quicksand Right now is ringing every doorbell, a circus and a seashell, an army built on farewells Ch x2 Right now is hoping that you will be coming back Right now is something that I have Right now is never very long, it’s here and then it’s gone Ch x2

Poisoning The Pool There was an ambush in the desert they were 40 feet tall with hands like hand grenades They blew up everything in sight when they waved goodbye And we never saw it coming no we never saw it coming but we couldn’t turn our eyes away Even though we knew better we just kept staring at the light Alright Alright That’s the way it’s gonna be now The sky was raining poison it was poisoning the pool but everyone kept swimming It’s the taking and the doing no matter what were losing all for the sake of winning My best friend in Austin will tell you what it’s costing to live with your eyes closed And if you don’t give a damn what’s happening around you the who knows Ch Hers’s to you… The evidence around us is kind of overwhelming but the future is here And there’s got to be a limit to death and destruction but the line is not clear She’s got a little baby and I don’t have a baby yet but one day I might And I don’t know much about it but I know what I know and I know what feels right…right Ch That’s not the way it has to be now

When I Say Go The earth is spinning and we are winning, and time is telling me I gotta go home The earth is spinning and we are winning, and I don’t know but I don’t wanna be alone On your mark get set remember don’t forget All the things you said you’d hate to leave my darling if you left On your mark ok get ready when I say That I wish that you would stay…when I say go My heart is racing the light keeps changing and I don’t know but I was sinking like a stone My heart is racing the light keeps changing and I don’t know but I don’t wanna be alone Ch There’s a blackbird singing my ears are ringing, the city’s moving to the sound of a drum There’s a blackbird singing my ears are ringing, the trees are screaming they don’t wanna go home They’re about to be more beautiful 2x Ch
