Moment in a Box
03:38
|

Navigate a path,
Square expanses of concrete.
Navigate a path,
Future hard beneath your feet.
Every Moment in a box
Jumping cracks and picking locks
Every Moment in a box
Hanging paper, ticks and tocks
Inking out a day,
Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda done.
Inking out a day,
A thousand more, or maybe none.
Every Moment in a box
Jumping cracks and picking locks
Every Moment in a box
Hanging paper, ticks and tocks
Lick the wounds you got, devise a plot
Devise a plot, to be somewhere that you're not.
Hammer wood and nails
build it up and burn it down
Hammer, wood and nails
Dirty hands and crooked crown
Every Moment in a box
Jumping cracks and picking locks
Every Moment in a box
Hanging paper, ticks and tocks

Temporary Man
03:30
|
|||
I try to keep it simple,
Try to keep it all in place
I try to keep my thoughts to myself,
But you read them right off my face.
There's a place somewhere
Somewhere I don't know.
There's a chance that we won't make it,
But I hope that it isn't so.
Chorus
I try to keep my best foot forward.
I try to do the best I can.
I wanna say that it will last forever,
But I'm too much of a Temporary Man
I admire your persistence
The way you handle yourself.
In the face of a world,
That understands little more than wealth.
You don't have the answers,
But you have more than a clue.
If I had faith in myself,
I'd put some of it in you.
I feel like a worm on a pin.
A fish on a hook.
Like some kind of Jack in the Box;
The saddest story in the book.
We joke about me leaving,
But one day it will be real.
The man with a satisfied mind,
Finds a way to screw up his deal.
I won't expect you to forgive me,
Even though I made it clear.
That one day the man you love,
Will be the one to bring you tears.

Making Matters Worse
04:03
|

There's gotta be a way to explain this,
Turn you to my point of view.
Get it all down in writing,
And move on to something new.
When we were younger,
We had so much to talk about.
Now we exchange about the weather,
And we're all talked out.
What exactly happened?
Who pulled into reverse?
Why does everything I say,
Just make matters worse?
You always drive the ambulance.
Everything is an emergency.
But something's wrong with your scanner.
You're on a different frequncey.
We can't even watch a movie.
We already know how they end.
We're such sticklers for reality
And leave no room for pretend.

Be Glad
02:46
|

Why do you care?
About what they say?
Only you,
Can stand in your way
And after all this time,
It's only been in your mind.
Don't try to understand.
That's when it slips through you hands.
Why do you care?
About feeling helpless.
Don't be afraid,
To face a little sadness.
And after all that you been through
Don't worry about what you're gonna do.
Stay clear of the self-doubt.
Be glad the way things turned out.

Junk
01:47
|
|||
Motor cars, handle bars,
Bicycles for two.
Broken hearted jubilee.
Parachutes, army boots,
Sleeping bags for two.
Sentimental jamboree.
Buy! buy!
Says the sign in the shop window.
Why? why?
Says the junk in the yard.
Da da ya da da da,
Da da da,
Da da ya da da,
Da da da da da da da.
Candlesticks, building bricks,
Something old and new.
Memories for you and me.
Buy! buy!
Says the sign in the shop window.
Why? why?
Says the junk in the yard.
