out of the dark
into the history books
out of the ties that can bind
into the history books
don't you ever leave baby
answered the call
he did whatever it took
knocked it right out of the park
into the history books
oh babe, don't you ever leave

make it drive

here it comes slipping out of their hands
a dream that comes to life
and all the lies that've been flickering off
the edge of blunted knives
what keeps it all alive?
where did they find the drive
to pass it all along to me and you?
here we are at the corner of life
but you're still a machine
you take a breath you appreciate life
but really it's a dream
and is it what it seems?
if only you believe
the ones that left you here had you in mind
can you feel the primordial scream
one hundred years ago?
close your eyes and query a time
where they won't let you go
it's up to you, you know
it's how the story goes
there's time for peace as long as there's time flows
and what could stink coming out of the trash
but coldest winter wine?
i'd kiss your lips in the purplest light
but do we have the time?
i'd just wanna make it mine
i'd just wanna make it fine
i'd pass around the torch to make it drive

everything is quiet in the bubble of now
all the things i have are in the bubble of now with me
everyone is better in the bubble of now
i can see the calmness over every flake of snow
light in the darkness
do you know what's been happening?
circular movement
all the streets are inverting now
watching it closely
all the signals are crossing now
let it go smoothly
into dreams i envision it
would you take me down into the bubble of now?
i don't want a piece of what they're calling the good old days
everything is heading to a future so foul
i could stay forever in the bubble of now with you
passionate service
stepping up to the dinner plate
rolling immobile
washing over the interstate
pray to the garden
can we capture any time at all?
make yourself often
can we box in any time at all?

night rider
out of the cold
into the golden light
out of my sight
into the night
who wears the city like a rented suit?
walk around like they've got nothing to lose?
leaving marks like they've got something to prove?
night rider
out of the cold
into the golden light
out of my sight
into the night

all the walls are frail
suppose the window sills
are where you sleep
all the marks you scratch
don't choke
the ball's still in the air
tried to take a picture of the past
but your present keeps you
walking on the straight and steady line behind
tried to take advantage of the price
but you're always tripping
over some insidious derived decline
a frothing mouth on the couch
here we go down the wash
the sour taste when you're doing it one more time
but when it goes i go too
nothing true save for you
cause you are it

on the side

waking up with wise in the morning
telling all the jokes that you had in the pocket
and tuning into what's in rotation
ahhhh you can breathe a little bit better when i fade on out
when you live in crazy times
when you're born in / when you live in / when you die in crazy times
no one's got the fix or the answer
everyone's a joke in a mash of conspiracy
breathing all the smoke all around you
ahhhh take it on the side brush it off and do better than
when you live in crazy times
when you're born in / when you live in / when you die in crazy times
stepped outside taken for a ride
everybody out here getting sober in these crazy times
step outside and take it on the side

telling you always
telling you all the things that've been getting me
feeling you always
feeling you all the ways you've been giving me
recognize
what's keeping everyone fine?
that's another ten in my mind
i suppose the answers i find
will recognize the beauty of time
oh but he recognized tries
as i'm pulling out of this ride
i keep calling everybody's lies
and recognize i'm getting out of my mind

took a numbing vacation
bought another vocation
tricked another rotation
mastering my location
like so many of us do
telling people they knew me
showing people the new me
hope they vibe with the true me
know that they're looking through me
like so many of us do
telling you always
telling you all the things that've been getting me
feeling you always
feeling you all the ways you've been giving me

don't be sad
03:57

think what you are
is it close?
does it scar?
are you scared?
look at me i'm around
back when you saw
what was real
did it hurt?
don't be scared
look at me i'm around
everyone cracks sometimes
i'll know the answers in due time
if you're mad don't be sad
that's just the prelude to end times
we can die if we try
promise the ends aren't the best tries
but if we get upset
you can't depend on me just yet
