CONSTANCE
Verse:
She sees constant reminders
IN magazines and on the movie screens
But shes not giving in
She sees constant subscribers
Believing what they want and what they hear
But shes not giving in
She says I can't be the only one that feels this way
And in Time there's gonna be enough of us
to prove that we can be something more than this.
Chorus:
And Sometime things are said that have her thinking twice
They can be harsh but will be blessing in Disguise
And She finds strength in things she cannot compromise
So she's never giving in.
She sees constant reminders
On MTV and on the radio
But she's not giving in
She sees constant subscribers
They try to fit the mold they're being sold
But she's not giving in
She says I can't be the only one that feels this way
And in Time there's gonna be enough of us
to prove that we can be something more than this.
Chorus:
And Sometime things are said that have her thinking twice
They can be harsh but will be blessing in Disguise
And She finds strength in things she cannot compromise
So she's never giving in.
Bridge:
And what she's been thinking
Is we've got a long way to go and a long way to come
And what she believes in
Is we've got a long way to go and a long way to come.
Chorus:
And Giving in would always have her thinking twice
And giving up could be no blessing in Disguise
And She finds strength in things she cannot compromise
So she's never giving in.

Down Low
Verse:
She could be swept off her feet
But he has feeling he has kept discrete
But shes begun to suspect
Her charms just have no effect
He acts more friend than a lover
Kissing her cheek like her brother
He wish he could see this through
But what would they say if they knew
Chorus:
Hell have to keep it on the Down low
Keep it on the down low
Keep it on the down Low
Hell keep it on the down Low
Hell keep it on the down low
Hell keep it on the down.
Verse:
The family thinks he a friend
But they are more and he still pretends
Its getting harder to lie
He thinks it is easier to hide
Hell never have to explain
This is a life that he can maintain
He wish he could see this through
But What would they say if they knew
Chorus:
Hell have to keep it on the Down low
Keep it on the down low
Keep it on the down Low
Hell keep it on the down Low
Hell keep it on the down low
Hell keep it on the down.

Verse
I’m tossing and turning’
Can’t sleep for the life of me
I’m wondering and worrying
Will I get to sleep before to long
Come on tell me where it is and where I’ve got to find
Give me R.E.M. the doctor can’t relieve my mind
Chorus:
Get myself to sleep!
Shut eye, Shut eye, I need
I’m counting Sheep, I’m counting Sheep
Awake!
Because I can’t get to sleep
No, no I can’t get to sleep
I need my z’s, I need my z’s
I can’t Sleep No, No, No
Help my get my Z’s
Verse:
The TV is talking
Keeping me from what I need
It’s taunting and teasing
Your out of shape in need of cash,
Only $19.95 you’ll get your life on track
Satisfactions guaranteed or get your money back
Bridge rhyme
Lets go snack ina Blackberry Patch
Make Earth shake
w/a side show laugh
Why I gotta wake
to a world so whack?
Gotta goto work rat race run laps
like ants on a hill
when my sands are spilled
when I catch every grain
but my hands are filled
schedule my day
but my plans are killed
by the pledges I made that I
that I can't fulfill
this sheep wants to be shampooed
that sheep wants his weekend food
this sheep's young and he can't run
that sheep's old and he can't move
all these sheep with their stress
and tenseness
hop & a leap & my best defenses
when I rest my lenses <'>
but I can't sleep
till I get 'em all together
and collect my census
verse:
I’m tossing and turning’
Can’t sleep for the life of me
I’m wondering and worrying
Will I get to sleep before to long
Send some slumber
Put me under
So that I can Snooze
Enter Sandman,
R.E.M, man,
is what I could use.

Propeller (neurok)

|
Verse:
All of my life I’ve been walking down the same road
Looking to find my path, choose a road that is narrow
The time it’s been taking, the anticipating,
Has taken it’s toll on my faith
Verse:
All of my life I’ve been walking down the same street
Looking to find my place, away from the shadows
I tighten my tendons, because I can’t keep pretending,
This hasn’t been getting me down
Chorus:
I’m starting to find out who I am,
And Breaking free from a world within,
A world, a war that I’m still fighting
Verse:
All of my life I’ve been walking down the same road,
Looking to find my home, a place I can prosper
Learning my lessons, not making concessions
because this is the way it is done.

Verse:
He quit his day job
Said, “It’s time to move on”
Because he has shit to do
He sold some things too
Buy a guitar brand new
Yeah he threw his old life away
Chorus:
He’s letting go
He’s thought it threw
He’s gonna be
ALL HE CAN
Because he don’t feel it no more
yeah he don’t feel it no more
NO MORE
Verse:
He’s on his way now
Get L.A. some how
Yeah he is living this
he’s got what he wants
Yeah he’s got what he needs
Ain’t no turning back
Because he is ready,
Willing and able
To risk it all today
The Rock and Roll Life style
It might take a while
but he’ll be breaking in
Bridge:
He played his,
Heart out,
And the crowd stared
And no one really cared
And he played on,
To the last song,
And the crowd’s gone,
But he’s still rocking on’
All he really wanted was live the dream and find a scene,
Get away from cubicles, computers, had to find a means
Away from everything he thought he had to do and had to be
All he really, All he really wanted

Father

|
Verse:
My father’s a good man
Perfect by no means
Sometimes a stranger I need to know
He’s wanting to know me, Weak
But wanting, me to know
He has things to say
Chorus
A father and son can get
A Second chance, a Second chance
A father and song regret
Not taking time to talk
But we’re working it out
Verse:
He’s wanting to love me
But talking is tricky
Easier said than done today
Slowly but surely
He’s killing me softly
Tears come faster than the words
I remember holiday’s
Five years old and finger’s fixed in his
Foot prints in the snow
We’re starting to speak now
Learning the truth, the things we’ve never known
Saying the things we need to say
End:
My father’s a good man
Perfect by no means
Sometimes a stranger I want to know
Were starting to speak now
Learning the truth, the things we’ve never know.
