LYRICS:
Sooner or later
Everything I have I’ll lose
If not for nothing
Phasing and fading
Only got one chance to prove
It’s not for nothing
God damn
In tune
I’m all about it
Only got one chance to prove
The all in nothing
Shot down
Detuned
Then soon forgotten
So what have I got to lose?
It is unstoppable
We space
We time
We poltergeists
We’re born
We die
Our stars explode to afterlives
We lovers
We foes
We bells
We toll
We seem so high
Just babes in flight in the afterlife
One more drop of gasoline
To the devil in the dirt her violent dream
Oh dawn to feel the light you bring
But there’s a storm outside
A storm outside
Of all the times and all the scenes
How lucky to be woken, how lucky to be free
I gotta go outside
But there’s a storm outside
A storm outside
God damn
In tune
I’m all about it
Only got one chance to prove
The all in nothing
Shot down
detuned
then soon forgotten
So what have I got to lose?
It is unstoppable
God damn
In tune
I’m all about it
Only got one chance to prove
The all in nothing
Shot down
Detuned
then soon forgotten
So what have I got to lose
It is unstoppable
We space
We time
We poltergeists
We’re born
We die
Our stars explode to afterlives
We lovers
We foes
We bells
We toll
We seemed so high
Just babes
It’s not for nothing
Sooner or later
With everything I have to lose
It’s not for nothing
Phasing then fading
Only got one chance to prove
We are unstoppable

LYRICS:
I’m halfway home, at the pub on the corner of the street
I see kids from school, but I stare down at my feet
Sports on TV
They scream for victory
A few blocks down, there’s Dawn, she’s got spinach on her teeth
In between the front ones, just a little bitty leaf
And I try to speak, but Dawn makes me nervous
And I get overexcited
Can’t do a damn thing about it
My God we’re shoulder to shoulder
Nice guy looking for a future lover
The pet shop’s closed, too bad, cause animals like me back
We had a dog once, we all just called her Kat
Was mum’s idea
She’s got great sense of humor
Later tonight, some soup, then I’ll probably send a text
“Hey Dawn it’s Jim, would you like to have some sex?
And if that’s too weird, maybe just a hot chocolate”
I get so overexcited
Can’t do a damn thing about it
My God we’re shoulder to shoulder
Nice guy looking for a future lover

LYRICS:
Nice to see you Mister Sun
You didn’t mean to hurt no one
When shooting down your laser guns and sunburns
It’s no good when you’re gone
Made us happy and warm
For a long, long time
Come back tomorrow Mister Sun
Cause shadows visit everyone
They dull and dim your laser guns and sunburns
It’s no good when you’re gone
Made us happy and warm
For a long, long time
(You are an honest man, you are an honest man)
‘Cause you hurt and its hard
But you’re not just a blob
You’re a big bright star
Hello Mister Sun
You can make a rainbow")

LYRICS:
We skipped our feet down Winter Street
In fuzzy gold street light
We are not young but still need fun
Twice in a lifetime
But your cup is full
And your heart is occupied
But is that the truth?
Who’s ever satisfied?
Nothing’s pure as something new
A perfect sheet of white
With clarity we can part these seas
Just once in a lifetime
But your plate is full
And your heart is occupied
We chase down this thrill
The cat and the butterfly
And then you gesture with the slightest intention
The colors swim into a perfect collection
Your eyes go wide
That’s why you came here tonight, my love
And I, I don’t really mind
Atoms crash with weight and mass
Through dangerous timelines
Heat and light make dynamite
The fight of a lifetime
But my aim is true
And my heart is occupied
You’re in here too
Cause I know you realize, love
I feel you bristle at the slightest connection
As if it’s fated on a course of correction
Our blood beats wild
Why don’t you just stay the night, my love?
Cause I, I don’t really mind
Love, it’s been a long, long, long time
A moment to shine, shine, shine, shine
Cause it’s been a long, long, long time
A moment to shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine!
