(Gardner, LaBrie) |
|
First, the bad news... |
|
Face the music |
|
Mind over matter |
|
In other words... |
|
My imagination run amuck |
|
Give and take with inspiration, information, innovation, impossible situation? |
|
Worsening aggravation |
|
Change, Every change, every step, every moment defined |
|
As a man... as a man... as a man thinks |
|
Shell game in a strait jacket |
|
12 gauge |
|
In a shotgun racket |
|
Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto |
|
Got to do this all alone |
|
Wait |
|
Better slow it down and think about it |
|
Embracing this moment |
|
Enslave or free my soul |
|
Just to play the game |
|
With no guarantee |
|
Is what I'll do for now |
|
My life's a requiem playing |
|
Out of key with no 'absolutes' at all |
|
Who promised tomorrow? |
|
Tomorrow may not even be here |
|
How long am I blameless |
|
'Undecided' in a frantic world? |
|
My velocity screaming fast |
|
From this truth I fear |
|
Where did I hear: |
|
'As a man thinks |
|
So is he'? |
|
But this man thinks |
|
'Till his moment's gone' |
|
Scapegoat to the end, dig it? |
|
Whiz-bang |
|
In a whirlwind minute |
|
Voodoo - take a turn |
|
Why not |
|
Nuke my head - feel it burn? |
|
Wind up where you were |
|
If you think about it |
|
Shell game in a strait jacket |
|
12 gauge |
|
In a shotgun racket |
|
Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto |
|
Got to do this all alone |
|
Wait |
|
Better slow it down and think about it |
|
Better slow it down |
|
Take a moment right now |
|
Let a man think |
|
As a man thinks |
|
What a man thinks... |
|
(Hey there Budapest) |
|
(What about... let's just give it a rest) |
|
Scapegoat to the end, dig it? |
|
Whiz-bang |
|
In a whirlwind minute |
|
Voodoo - take a turn |
|
Why not |
|
Nuke my head - feel it burn? |
|
Wind up where you were |
|
If you think about it |
|
Shell game in a strait jacket |
|
12 gauge |
|
In a shotgun racket |
|
Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto |
|
Got to do this all alone |
|
Wait |
|
Better slow it down and think about it |
|
Better slow it down |
|
Take a moment right now |
|
Let a man think |
|
As a man thinks |
|
What a man thinks... |
|
Bottom line? |
|
Get it in |
|
Get it off |
|
Get it out |
|
Get away |
|
Get a buck |
|
Get a clue |
|
Now he just wants more |
|
And he feels it |
|
Now... |
|
No more indecisions here |
|
No more time to figure things out |
|
No more lies |
|
No mortal sin |
|
He'll pay up square |
|
But he won't get in |
|
Too many opportunities |
|
Too many reasons |
|
Too many travesties |
|
Now for the good news |
|
It's gonna get... |
|
Gonna get wild |
|
When you wake up and realize |
|
You've still got it all |
|
(Hey there Budapest) |
|
(How about next time we do our damn best?) |
