 Till I Am Myself Again I want to know where my confidence went one day it all disappeared and I'm lying in a hotel room miles away voices next door in my ear Daytime's a drag nighttime's worse hope that I can get home soon but the half-finished bottles of inspiration lie like ghosts in my room
I wanna go I know I can't stay but I don't want to run feeling this way til I am myself til I am myself til I am myself again
There's a seat on the corner I keep every night wait til the evening begins I feel like a stranger from another world but at least I'm living again There are nights full of anger words that are thrown tempers that are shattered and thin but the moments of magic are just too short they're over before they begin
I know it's time one big step I can't go I'm not ready yet til I am myself til I am myself til I am myself again
I had a dream that my house was on fire people laughed while it burned I tried to run but my legs were numb I had to wait til the feeling returned I don't need a doctor to figure it out I know what's passing me by when I look in the mirror sometimes I see traces of some other guy
I wanna go I know I can't stay but I don't want to run feeling this way til I am myself til I am myself til I am myself again
 What Am I Doing Here on this useless night with you so far away I stand in front of this ferris wheel and I wonder what am I doing here and I wonder what am I doing here and all the drunks just stumble by and mumble their abuse tell me what is the use and I wonder what am I doing here and I wonder what am I doing here after so long nobody's wrong after so long nobody's right after so long nobody's wrong after so long nobody's right on this useless night with you so far away I stand in front of this ferris wheel and I wonder what am I doing here and I wonder what am I doing here and I wonder what am I doing here  5 A.M. (A Love Song) with every breath we grow furthur apart sometimes I wish we didn't know how to talk and as we sort out the who said you said who said I said I only wish I came a little better prepared 5 am these things will pass tomorrow won't be our last funny how I'm always here with you I never meant to change your world or change your point of view I only want to hold you when I feel a little blue I hope you know I'll always be there for you I know by now I should be sound asleep but my mind won't let me it feels like it's going to explode I'll say that you're right if you just say that I'm right let's hit the hay and call this case closed 5 am things get so strange tomorrow's a brand new day funny how I'm always here with you I never meant to change your world or change your point of view I only want to hold you when I feel a little blue I hope you know I'll always be there for you funny how I'm always here with you I never meant to change your world or change your point of view I only want to hold you when I feel a little blue I hope you know I'll always be there for you I'll always be there for you  Montreal we met in Montreal far from the crime moving in circles running with so little time sat and we talked about rumours and lies stayed til the sun hit the floor you wore the dress from the old market stall people and places said you were forgetting them all I don't know if I believed you or not as I stared at you outside your door those were the times that was our life I probably wouldn't change one little thing if I tried moments together mapped out like the stars in the sky now you're in the things that I do still I miss talking to you late in your bed you said don't you be sad think of how lucky we are for the things that we've had life that's around me I'm letting it go but you stay up here in my head those were the times that was our life I probably wouldn't change one little thing if I tried moments together mapped out like the stars in the sky now you're in the things that I do still I miss talking to you  Last Laugh I should have seen through it but you were so intent the nervous breakdown on an overworked bed you couldn't wait to get over the edge you were drunk on the silver when he took your crown he took from you everything that wasn't tied down well you said he was an angel with the chains of gold too bad they weren't strong enough to hold the clock of world is just a dream still I shouldn't be jealous of the ones who lay flowers at your feet yeah my desire has finally put you out of reach you were drunk on the silver when he took your crown he took from you everything that wasn't tied down well you said he was an angel with the chains of gold too bad they weren't strong enough to hold now all your saviours wait their turn in line while you sit in the corner and drink yourself blind the last laugh has finally been had but it's not what you think the last laugh has finally been had and it don't taste so sweet now you're finally on your own last thing he said to you was see you around you were drunk on the silver you were drunk on the silver you were drunk on the silver now you're going to leave me with the last laugh  Trust Yourself someday soon and I don't know when your little world will come crashing in don't think twice I'll be around turn your back someone's gonna let you down you know that it's true nobody led you on they left that to you now you'll be alone when the sun comes up with your tattered little dreams and a broken cup then you'll have to trust yourself and don't believe in anymore lies you waste your time think too much really make a mess of the things you touch poor little bird with a broken wing better look around now you know your losing everything it's just a game thought you had it all lined up but somehow that's changed now you'll have to run and not get caught and you'll have to hide if you like it or not then you'll have to trust yourself and don't believe in anymore lies someday soon and it won't be long you'll ring the bell but they'll all be gone they took your jewels and your statues too left you with a pile of things you never learned how to use well here it comes again you showed us where it all began well here's where it ends and you'll be alone when the sun comes up tattered little dreams and a broken cup then you'll have to trust yourself and don't believe in anymore trust yourself and don't believe in anymore trust yourself and don't believe in anymore lies yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah  Two Tongues if you have the midas touch why does everything around here look like rust and if your house is in such perfect order why are your kids running around in rags from second hand counters yeah tell me why yeah you tell me why is it because you got two tongues in one head you can change your words in mid-direction you're a freaked out flathead hollow-eyed bad hallucination useless prayers from obedient lips life's too good in the house of the privileged well tell me why yeah you tell me why is it because you got two tongues in one head well tell me why yeah you tell me why is it because you got two tongues in one head is it because you got two tongues in one head well tell me why yeah you tell me why is it because you got two tongues in one head is it because you got two tongues in one head  Time an endless chain of days go by can't scratch the surface still I try I'm going down feeling underground just kicking the leaves all around this town can't catch the beat I'm feeling ill too much time to kill time time time time to kill follow the footsteps down the stairs painted doorways dirty rails take a ride on the evening blue gonna check out the crowds on Mott Avenue gonna watch the waves on Jamaica Bay Far Rock away time time time time to kill time time time time to kill time...  After The Rain If I had my way I would never go back with my back to the wall I just let myself fall watch the daytimes turn black but now and again I find you cross my mind If I was a train I would never slow down with my head in the sky and the world going by every nowhere town as I write one more letter to you I know I can't change the things that I do one day when you discover just why I ran ran away from you lover I know I'm to blame I feel so ashamed call out your name after the rain what do you want me to do I've thrown away everything for you well I've wasted my dreams each day it seems I'm losing my way back to you It's time for a change what else can I do the clock ticking time I better make up my mind is it me or is it you yeah tonight as I'm losing control I will drink to the queen of my soul one day when you discover just why I ran ran away from you lover I know I'm to blame I feel so ashamed call out your name after the rain...  You're Everywhere yeah I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul that's not enough you want more like the writing on an ancient wall you're a mystery that I'll never solve yeah you're everywhere yeah you're everywhere yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me for me well I've walked along the red canal of mars I've known kings and king makers poets painters and paupers I've danced danced on the rings of saturn still your pilgrim soul is the only thing that ever mattered yeah you're everywhere yeah you're everywhere yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me for me Rock it! yeah this old world ain't always what it seems sometimes I feel I'm living in someone else's dream there's a face I know that I've never seen still a hundred million miles ten thousand years ain't going to change a thing yeah you're everywhere yeah you're everywhere yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me for me yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me for me yeah you're everywhere but you're just not there for me Produced by Pete Anderson All songs written by Cuddy/Keelor
