Альбом Fastball

I can still recall a time you were not so far behind
You were only 15 and you still had piece of mind
Now you're pushing 31, duty call you come and run
When will this be over? When, when will you be gone?

Chorus 1:
I'll be your man child to be tough
Once is never quite enough
Giving twenty minutes in between
If you know what I mean

You gotta give if you wanna get
Never let 'em see you sweat
You may cry and you may bleed
But only if the punch is from me,

Chorus 2:
Why do you back down in the face of a fist fight?
I kick myself for caring about you
You may one day go the distance
You might come around
You can kill yourself or you can make your mama proud

When you get the energy
You can place a call to me
My number's in the phone book
And I'm not too hard to find
I still live in the same old place
I still got the same old face
I can give you more than twenty minutes of my time

Chorus 1

Chorus 2

She was looking right through me like I was made out of glass 
a la la la la la 
Heaven, lie and tell, comes back like up at a check 
Why do you get so emotional? 
Why do you get so emotional? 
Why do you get 
Smokin' and drinkin', tryin' to kick stuff Monday night 
Smokin' and drinkin', tryin' to kick start Monday night
I try and I try 
A sneaky feeling is coming over me 
Why do you get so emotional? 
Why do you get so emotional? 
Why do you get so emotional? 
Why do you get so emotional? 
She said "boy, you take, you take me somehow, I don't know who you are anymore.
I don't know who you are anymore" 
(break) 
Too many complications, conversations that go nowhere
get out of my my my my head, head, I see you everywhere 
Why do you get so emotional? 
Why do you get so emotional? 
Why do you get so emotional? 
Why do you get so emotional? 
She said "boy, you take, you take me somehow, I don't know who you are anymore.
I don't know who you are anymore, I don't know who you are anymore, 

Lyrics and music: Tony Scalzo

Sometimes I feel
Like I am drunk behind the wheel
The wheel of possibility
However it may roll
Give it a spin
See if you can somehow factor in
You know there's always more than one way
To say exactly what you mean to say

Chorus:
Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an indication
It was hard to find
Don't matter what I say only what I do
I never mean to do bad things to you
So quiet but I finally woke up
If you're sad then it's time you spoke up too

Chorus
Repeat Chorus

Lyrics and music: Miles Zuniga

Well I don't wanna be President
Superman or Clark Kent
I don't wanna walk 'round in their shoes

'Cause I don't know who's side I'm on
I don't know my right from wrong
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know about you

Chorus:
I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape
And I may not be the man you want me to
I can be myself, how 'bout you?

I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna meet your dad
I don't wanna be your dream come true

'Cause I don't know just what I've found
I don't know my sky from ground
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know about you

Chorus

Repeat Chorus

I can be myself, how 'bout you?
I can be myself
How 'bout you?

Lyrics and music: Tony Scalzo

They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?

They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down they started walking
Where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?

Chorus:
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
Is paved in gold
And it's always summer
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and grey
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today

Their children woke up
And they couldn't find them
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?

Chorus

Lyrics and music: Miles Zuniga

Slow drag off a cigarette
Slow drag and I'm lying in my bed
All the world is sleeping like a baby tonight
I wanna lay you down
In the ground. Alright

Slow drag and I can't get up now
Slow drag. You've been messing with my mind
All the world is sleeping like a baby tonight
I wanna see you dead
Laying in the muddy ground

You're nothing to me
Nothing to me
Nothing to me no more

All the world is sleeping like a baby tonight
I wanna see you dead
Laying in the muddy ground

You're nothing to me
Nothing to me
Nothing to me no more

I was wondering how you're feeling
I thought I saw you kneeling
And holding your gut last night
It looked like you were praying
But I heard someone saying
You had been in an awful fight
You get the worst of it everytime
Lashing out with no reason or rhyme
To lose all this rage, at so tender an age
Little baby growing up in a rat cage

Chorus 1:
Are you ready for the fallout?
Who you gonna call out?
When does it finally come to blows?
I think that you're forgetting
The blood that you'll be letting
Has a price on it, no one knows
You may be suffering in your sleep
You may be getting in way too deep
And you may not care for advice that I share
If you want it then I'll be there

Chorus 2:
Soon you will learn how to swallow a tear
So when you're old you can cry in your beer
Do you spit at the face staring back in the mirror?
Do you have any self respect?

Chorus 2

Well what the hell did you expect?

Chorus 1

Are you ready for the fallout?
Who you gonna call out?

When will it stop raining? When will these dark clouds go?
some days I get so low, but you turn me around, you turn me around
won't you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
Won't you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
You take away my sadness and the pain inside my heart
sometimes I fall apart, but you turn me around, you turn me around
Won't you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
Won't you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
sunshine
Won't you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
Won't you come down to my dark street, and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
oh yeah, oh come on down, come on down
and never leave my sky again
shine your love light, love light, love light, love light
down on me, down on me

VERSE

Can you make it easier for me to understand,
How you're holding my heart, in your trembling hands...
Eyes that rise to meet me half way up among the stars,
You may be from Venus but I'm definitely not from Mars

CHORUS

You're An Ocean, You're An Ocean
Settle Down, Settle Down,
What's the commotion,
I'm an island, but you're an ocean,
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion,
You've got me suspended motionless in time

VERSE

Make the warm winds circle round my head just like you do,
If I could do it, I'd be doing it to you,
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me,
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee,

CHORUS

You're An Ocean, You're An Ocean
Settle Down, Settle Down,
What's the commotion,
I'm an island, but you're an ocean,
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion,
You've got me suspended motionless in time

BREAK

I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me,
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee,

You're An Ocean, You're An Ocean
Settle Down, Settle Down,
What's the commotion,
I'm an island, but you're an ocean,
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion,
You've got me suspended motionless in time

She will bring a little box of moonlight
To light my way on such a very dark night
Dreams so real they grow wild on the vine
Until sundown, when she comes
She comes just like a daydream
And the sun surrenders to the evening
I've waited all day long to be with you girl
We'll burn like falling stars tonight
And hide like vampires from the daylight
Until sundown
Dreams so real they grow wild on the vine
We'll burn like falling stars tonight
And hide like vampires from the daylight
Our world comes alive at night
And like the stars, they shine so bright
As long as you are mine
As long as you are mine
As long as you are mine

Turned 'round 6 o'clock and I'm feeling sleepy
I don't have to work on Saturday
But I do anyway
'Round the corner right on up to the shop
I come creeping, but it don't matter anyway

Chorus:
'Cause I know it's just a spell
And even so I feel like hell
You can say that it's alright
But I am wrapped up tight
And I can see the forest through the trees
I am on my knees
I don't know if I am supposed to stay
Or I'm supposed to leave it all behind
The door the world outside still spins
Waiting there behind the door but I won't let it in
Not today, not tomorrow, not next week
You're just gonna have to pay five bucks to see the geek

Chorus

Please pay your attention right above the center ring
Up in the rafters, 500 feet above the crowd
My hair is soaked in kerosene
My clothes are wet with gasoline
You only get to see this once
The human torch is going down
Going down, going down, going down

Lyrics and music: Miles Zuniga

I'm gonna get under your skin
Sooner or later
I'll find the key that lets me in
Sooner or later
Yeah 'cause you just can't keep me down
You 'cause you just can't keep me down

I'm gonna take my time all right
Sooner or later
You gonna let me treat you right
Sooner or later
Yeah 'cause you just can't keep me down
Oh if you'd only give me
Time
Is really all that I need
To push it through
To make you see
I'll make you see
I'm gonna take my time all right
Sooner or later
You gonna let me treat you right
Yeah 'cause you just can't keep me down
Yeah 'cause you just can't keep me down

Time
Is really all that I need
To push it through
To make you see
I'll make you see

Sooner or later repeat

VERSE

You can talk to me about powder kegs
And how I'm sitting on one right now
You can warn me about candles
and whole things burning from the outside in
But don't tell me about true love
'Cause I don't think you really know

CHORUS

You need to pay the costs
You need to feel the loss
'Cause love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free

VERSE

Talk to me about appearances
I tell ya' lately they mean less and less
Do your best to keep me occupied
It's hard to concentrate, I must confess
Don't you tell me about heartbreak
'Cause it ain't written in the stars

CHORUS

You need to pay the costs
You need to feel the loss
'Cause love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free
Alright, you got me

VERSE

Don't you worry 'bout my baby
Her eyes are open all the time
I could never bare to see her
Much less remove her from my mind
I didn't talk to you about true love
I didn't think you'd understand

CHORUS

You need to pay the costs
You need to feel the loss
'Cause love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free

She, she belongs to me
But she doesn't know it
She comes walking down the street
She don't notice me

Chorus:
And she comes round
She know how to turn me inside out
Inside out, upside down
She's got the bomb

I'm twisted metal tongue
When I get around you
I stutter incomplete
I can't keep a beat

Chorus

She comes round my door
She gets me everytime
She doesn't even notice me
When she goes walking by

Repeat First Verse

Chorus

Repeat Chorus

Let it bleed, until you run dry
Let it bleed, tomorrow's never gonna come
'Cause the black rain is fallin' tonight
I can't find my way home
'Cause the black rain is fallin' tonight
I can't find my way home
I can't take all of the bad days
When it rains, it's better not to go outside
'Cause the black rain is fallin' tonight
I can't find my way home
'Cause the black rain is fallin' tonight
I can't find my way home
Going all the way down, oh yeah
Going all the way down, it's coming down
Let it bleed, until you run dry
Let it bleed, tomorrow's never gonna come
'Cause the black rain is fallin' tonight
I can't find my way home
'Cause the black rain is fallin' tonight
I can't find my way home

Those days when our hearts were as big as the sun
turn around with a smile for everyone
that feeling's a memory
funny how it fades away
You won't see those pale grays returning to blues
the colors will wash out as I shrink in my shoes
and I won't always live and breathe
watch me as I fade away
we wake in the morning and work all day
we dress up in the evening with nothing to say
just like a candle burning bright
burning like forever then it fades away
who on this planet would ever refuse
the chance of a lifetime to love and lose
when time is of no importance
have you seen it slip away?
we wake in the morning and work all day
we dress up in the evening with nothing to say
just like a candle burning bright
burning like forever then it fades away
we wake in the morning and work all day
we dress up in the evening with nothing to say
just like a candle burning bright
burning like forever then it fades away

She will bring a little box of moonlight
To light my way on such a very dark night
Dreams so real they grow wild on the vine
Until sundown, when she comes
She comes just like a daydream
And the sun surrenders to the evening
I've waited all day long to be with you girl
We'll burn like falling stars tonight
And hide like vampires from the daylight
Until sundown
Dreams so real they grow wild on the vine
We'll burn like falling stars tonight
And hide like vampires from the daylight
Our world comes alive at night
And like the stars, they shine so bright
As long as you are mine
As long as you are mine
As long as you are mine
