Get outta’ bed shake the sand from your eyes
And the memory of last night
You gotta carry on even though it seems
At the end of the tunnel there’s no light
But hold on, you’ll find a way back to the path you walk on
That bit of magic will find you again, just listen my friend
Feel as if they have messed with my head
Because all I can see are blue skies
There must be something in the way that we circle
Around the same sun
Well it seems that’s how magic is done
As all that’s real there’s always an appeal to both sides of the line
The dark, the light, the terms we assign to a whole range of our design
But hold on, inspiration flows and we float on
Don’t forget about the challenges won
It doesn’t seem like there’s a way out
But if you open your mind you can see what it’s all about
Feel as if they have messed with my head
Because all I can see are blue skies
There must be something in the way that we circle
Around the same sun
Well it seems
That’s just magic, that we’ve stumbled on
It’s magic, help me carry on
That’s magic, that we’ve stumbled on
Feel as if they have messed with my head
Because all I can see are blue skies
There must be something in the way that we circle
Around the same sun
Well it seems that’s how magic is done

When are you gonna ride back from the station
When are you gonna go and put the records on?
You know the ones I sing about
All the ones we talked about
Nevermore
Place it in the spin
Oh I hear it again
But it's not the same
I sit here in pain
Feel as nothing was gained
So I ask when you gonna put the records on
Sing songs all night long
Hear it again playing with my head
Sing songs for what I thought was all night long
Playing again, hearing it’s not our song
It’s not our song
It’s not our song
Well it’s not our song
Hear a song on the radio
Cryptic message that’s how it goes
But it tells me the rhyme
If you feel that sting again
You know what you’ve got right by your side
It's the air tonight
Sing songs
Hear it again
All night long
Play it again
(It's) not our song
(It's) not our song
(It's) not our song
(It's) not our song

Bad Actors

Don’t you ever feel your days are just drab
Nothing to do but sit around
Catch up on the latest fads
Turn on the radio there’s no music there
So Mr. Salesman, here’s some music loud and clear
So now we’re moving at a decent speed
That rhythm in your heart
It is just what you need
There’s something about us all here together
Didn’t think I’d see the day and I’d be stuck in forever
All over the world, music is a language that we all speak
Love one another, but don’t get caught up in somebody’s scheme
Plastic faces and pseudonyms
You walk around the street
Not even a neighbor knows your name
Now all that’s left are zombies hungry for fame
For their next quick fix from a bad actor’s game
All over the world, music is a language that we all speak
Love one another, but don’t get caught up in somebody’s scheme
All over the world, music is a language that we all speak
Love one another, but don’t get caught up in a bad actor’s game
We’re a dying breed those of us who need
A human connection do give us direction
It’s so hard to be filled with empathy
In a world that’s spinning too fast for us to grasp
All over the world, music is a language that we all speak
Love one another, but don’t get caught up in somebody’s scheme
All over the world, music is a language that we all speak
Love one another, but don’t get caught up in a bad actor’s game

What We Do

Ain't it a shame, Ain't it a shame
I see this society, and it’s reality
Burning through the days, cast ourselves away
Ain't it a shame, what we do for the fame
Oh oh
I hear bells a-ringing, knowing what's given
To those that rise above, singing high, higher love
Ain't it a shame, what we do for the fame
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I confess it doesn't even matter
Your family and friends don’t care about the ladder
Jacob dreamed of place high above
David said I’ll take this shot
And I don't feel like those are equal paths
Ain't it a shame, what we do for the fame
Now and forever in the past, go ahead and read the ledger
I don't know if ever, this worlds gonna get better
Ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame
Stand for morality, punch-in my sanity
Singing for the day, not for the fame
Ain't it a shame, what we do for the fame
Ain't it a shame, what we do for the fame
Ain't it a shame, what we do for the fame
Ain't it a shame, what we do for the fame
Ain't it a shame, what we do for the fame
