40’s for the lucky You think you’ve got troubles now You take a deep breath and now they’ve tripled somehow So what’s wrong with your face Did you bury your head and maybe leave it in a better place? That’s how it goes This train is screamin’ and it never slows One blank page after another So trust me brother we gotta to stick together 40’s for the lucky Or would you rather be dead? 40s for the lucky So stop believing everything you’ve read It doesn’t matter where you start 40s not for the faint of heart This fuckin’ dick in his 20s He’s roped two chicks and now he thinks he’s so funny Come back to me chump with kids in your dump Driving a minivan to the in-laws condo for the weekend! That’s how it goes This train is screamin’ and it never slows You wanna call me out for being so sunny But I’ve made more shit decisions than Gate’s got money 40’s for the lucky Or would you rather be dead? 40s for the lucky So stop believing everything you’ve read It doesn’t matter where you start 40s not for the faint of heart I never had a chance And neither did you But that’s ok my brother When you’re one of the chosen few When it’s said and done there’s a happy ending It’s called a blunt and a shot Of whatever’s in the cabinet 40’s for the lucky Or would you rather be dead? 40s for the lucky Start believing everything you’ve read It doesn’t matter where you start 40s not for the faint of heart It don’t matter where you are 40s not for the faint of heart

Do It Again 04:57
Let’s Do It Again Ah yeah Let’s ride Over the hills in the night The sky won’t give us its light But the fire we lit is still bright Sparks jump off and they fly To light up the world if they try Let the flame soar as high as it might Ignited when when we were friends We found it where the world ends I’m sorry I walked away from it’s warmth but now Let’s do it again Let’s do it again Let’s do it again You got a hundred reasons to turn away but then... Like a shelf too high on the wall You gotta catch the face when it falls And if it breaks you got to glue it back together Let’s do it again Let’s do it again Let’s do it again Don’t turn away my friend Let’s do it again Let’s do it again Let’s do it again The blade of grass don’t crack, it bends I got so many reasons to walk away but then... Don’t turn away Or is it just a game? Let’s do it again Let’s do it again Let’s do it again Turn around and find your friend Let’s do it again Let’s do it again Let’s do it again We both got a heart to mend I got a solid hunch A’ who loves you a bunch He’s got a hand to hold and a face to punch Let’s ride Over the hills in the night Sky won’t give us its light Like a shelf too high on the wall You gotta catch the face when it falls You gotta catch the vase when it falls

Spirit vs. Ghost I, I was gone with the tide But now I’m back And maybe for good I, I reached out for her hand But it seems she never made the land Who do you love the most The spirit or the ghost Where do you wanna be With the friend who set you free? Or is it just a memory? I, I try to be a big man But a crown of thorns Is just a head full of horns You, you try and do what you can But then you fell and broke the hand The hand that could’ve helped you save me from myself Let the tide come in and wash me back out to sea Who do you love the most The spirit or the ghost Where do you wanna be With the friend who set you free? Or was it a dream? Who do you love the most The spirit or the ghost Where do you wanna be With the friend who set you free? Or is she just a memory? But don’t say it’s a dream Why can’t it be what it seems? Nothing comes for free No not even me Everybody’s got their thing to hide The fear that makes them weak inside And mine’s my need for you And do you feel the same? Or should I float away? There’s never been a day That I haven’t missed The things we used to say Who do you love the most The spirit or the ghost Where do you wanna be With the friend who set you free? Or is it a dream? Who do you love the most The spirit or the ghost Where do you wanna be With the friend who set you free? Or is she just a memory? But don’t say it’s a dream No don’t say it’s a dream

The Dregs 04:51
The Dregs Goodbye sunshine, goodbye rain She's going back down under the ground You know we're never gonna see her again Coming or going, it's all the same You gotta keep track of every pearl When you're living a life between two worlds; let's go Ahhhhhh Walk the rocks walk the clouds Blow the dust off from the shroud Fight the mob, take to hoof And then you run with the dogs and wolves All the dregs come out at night You won't see them till they bite you All the dregs come out And will you be there? None of these people say a word Kick the door and take their store Come back later and take some more You're the sheep now, and I'm the bird What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine Let's keep it separate and we'll be fine; Let's go Ahhhhhhh Float the stone, nothing's round The water runs up from the ground A nether world, a thing to do The end is something new All the dregs come out at night You can't see them till they bite you All the dregs come out And will you be there? Goodbye sunshine, goodbye rain We don’t know when we’re gonna see you again… When will we see you again? Goodbye sunshine Goodbye

She's like a petal blown From the last flower that you hold The wind that takes her lifts her higher It's not the cloud that passes but the night that makes you old Don't fall down on tracks I left behind you girl I know you don't know how to tell me What do you do all day How do you find your way alone What do you do all day Do you dream of things you'll see when you fly away One day the change will come No more talk of magic and I'm struck dumb If I say I believe it would you see my lie Time's got no spell on you And there never was a thing at all that I could do You've got wings I guess you should use them You'll find there's not much use in flying But where else could we go? What do you do all day How do you find your way alone What do you do all day Do you dream of things you'll see when you fly away Daphne I see you found your moon But Daphne you don't have to go so soon
