Bringing It Back

I’m a squeak in your wheel, a weed in your field
Where I end up is anyone’s guess.
And the world is awful fast, so forget I even asked,
She said I hate to burst your bubble, “you’re a thing of the past"
So I stress, and digress,
And try and create from the struggle,
But even struggles won’t last.

But its the love, love, love, that keeps bringing me back.
And its the love, love, love, we’re bringing it back.

I’m a virgin in the sky, a twinkle in the eye
Of some creator who’s playing a game.
And his story’s awful long, and I’ll be dead and gone
Before I taste a single ounce of the fame.
So I try to break it down, I try to love you now,
But these haters won’t cut me no slack.
But its that love, that love, that love
We’re bringing it back.

And its love, love, love, we’re bringing it back.
And its love, love, love, we’re bringing it back.

And its love, oh love, oh love,
That’s gonna bring me back home!

You’re the only one I see, the perfect harmony,
To a tune that I forgot that I wrote.
And with all that’s going wrong,
With this world, we need our songs
So I will cherish each and every last note.
And I’ll try to start again, I’ll try to be the man
That made those promises so long ago
Because if there’s one thing I know, when we’re down and we’re low
Its that love that’s gonna bring us on home

And its love, love, love, we’re bringing it back.
And its love, love, love, we’re bringing it back…
And its just like honey, oh honey….

Fun In The Sun

Sun. Sun.
Feelin' fine, got no worries on my mind.
As the sun it starts to shine.
Feelin' fine, feelin' fine, feelin' fine,
gonna make you mine.

Feel the sun, now the stormin' is all done.
And the morning's just begun.
Feel the sun, feel the sun, feel the sun,
now we're out on the run.

Sun, fun in the sun.
Fun in the sun, fun in the sun.
Sun, fun in the sun.
Fun in the sun, fun in the sun.

The sun, the sun, the sun, the sun.
The sun, the sun, the sun, the sun.

Feel the sun, as we slip into the fun.
And I know that you're the only one.
Feel the sun, feel the sun, feel the sun

Feel the waves, never felt a love so great,
as the pain all fades away.
Feel the waves, feel the waves, feel the waves
as we float off to space.

Sun, fun in the sun.
Fun in the sun, fun in the sun.
Sun, fun in the sun.
Fun in the sun, fun in the sun.
Sun, fun in the sun.
Fun in the sun, fun in the sun.
Sun, fun in the sun.
Fun in the sun, fun in the sun.

Breakdown

Over time we all outgrow, all the places that we know.
Lose yourself, lose control, of your senses and your soul.
Fuck them all its a wash in the sea, just breakdown, just breakdown.
And its all too much for me, just breakdown, just breakdown.

Feeling trapped like a bird in a cage, catching flack for the minimum wage.
And there's no friends in this biz, you've been played. They'll stab your back for your spot on that stage.
Fuck em all its a wash in the sea, just breakdown, just breakdown.
And they all mean nothing to me, just breakdown, just breakdown.

Over time we all outgrow, all the faces that we know.
What you'll find is that you're really alone, give it up and sink down below.
And its all too much for me, just breakdown, just breakdown.
Fuck them all they're just drops in the sea, just breakdown, just breakdown.

And its all too much for me, just breakdown, just breakdown.
Its all just a wash in the sea, just breakdown, just breakdown.
Just breakdown, just breakdown.
Just breakdown, just breakdown.
Just breakdown, just breakdown.
Just breakdown, just breakdown, for me.

Home

Na na na hey ya hey ya
Na na na hey ya hey ya
Hey ya hey ya na hey ya hey ya hey ya na
Na na na hey ya hey ya
Na na na hey ya hey ya
Hey ya hey ya na hey ya hey ya hey ya na

When I’m in your arms, I’m protected from all harm.
You’re my shelter from the storm, you always keep me safe and warm.
And any time I’m feeling down, that the world is getting old,
I rush back to your heart, and step out from the cold…

And I’m home
In your arms, I am home
In your arms, I am…

Na na na hey ya hey ya
Na na na hey ya hey ya
Hey ya hey ya na hey ya hey ya hey ya na
Na na na hey ya hey ya
Na na na hey ya hey ya
Hey ya hey ya na hey ya hey ya hey ya na

On those dark and icy nights, when the frost begins to bite,
You’re always there to shine a light, and to hold me close and tight.
And when the winter comes, if those howling winds will blow,
You’ll melt this frozen heart, buried deep beneath the snow…

And I’m home
In your arms, I am home
In your arms, I am…

Na na na hey ya hey ya
Na na na hey ya hey ya
Hey ya hey ya na hey ya hey ya hey ya na
Na na na hey ya hey ya
Na na na hey ya hey ya
Hey ya hey ya na hey ya hey ya hey ya na

I know I’ve caused some aches, and I’ve made a few mistakes,
But the ice it always breaks, when I’m in your warm embrace.
You have all my love, that’s all you need to know.
You’ve given me your heart, and I’ll never let it go…

Because I’m home
In your arms, I am home
In your arms, I am home
In your arms, I am home
In your arms I am home
In your arms I am home
In your arms I am home
In your arms I am home
In your arms I am home.

Mirror

The night, when it takes hold
Of days, I lose control.
The lights, they come and go
In waves, possess my soul...

Magic mirror on the wall,
The time has come to make the call,
Will I rise or will I fall?
It's not fair if I fall can I do it again?!?

At times, the struggle is real,
To put words, to how I really feel.
My mind I'll never fully reveal,
It's absurd, but it's just how I deal...

Magic mirror it's me again
I'm all alone and I need a friend
I've worked so hard just to get where I am
I'm afraid if I fall I can't do it again.

Who we are, it all really depends
On the day, and the lies that we send
The truth, we all like to pretend
We're okay, when we're not in the end...

Magic mirror I've asked you nice,
I'm feeling low and I need some advice,
I'm not sure where I fit in this life, 
If I fall will you catch me can we do it again?

Magic mirror it's me again
I'm so alone and I need a friend
I've worked so hard just to get where I am
I'm afraid if I fall can I do it again?

If you fall I will catch you and we'll do it again
If you fall I will catch you and we'll do it again
If you fall I will catch you and we'll do it again
If you fall I will catch you and we'll do it again...

Mundo Rosa

El viento se viene y se va acá
Qué mundo que permite que esto pasar.
Con gafas rosas vivimos la vida.
Es triste pero siempre olvidar.

We're living in a mundo, mundo rosa.
Living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 
We go dancing we have fun, but take it for granted when we're done.
Because we're living in a mundo, mundo rosa.
Living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 

Pleasure,
oh she makes me feel better.
She gives me pleasure, when she's around.
She makes me feel better, and I'm going down.

Into this mundo, mundo rosa.
Living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 
From the darkness of the day, to the light of night we'll run away.
Living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 
Living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 

¿Por qué trabajar tanto siempre?
And forget to live until our dying day.
Con gafas de color rosa viviré,
I'll catch the wind and then I'll off and fly away.

Into that mundo, mundo rosa.
Living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 
We'll build ourselves a home, then we'll make it on our own. 
Because we're living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 
Living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 
Hey living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 
Living in a mundo, mundo rosa. 

Paranoia (Alone)

I hate when you tell me I’m going crazy
My paranoia makes me feel alone
Just take me or leave me, but don’t deceive me
Forgive me, forget me I’m not enough for you

I’m not enough for you
I’m not enough for you
I’m all alone

Alone, I don’t know where I am
I don’t know when I got here or how
A home is all I really need, I feel so lost
And I can’t be far away from you

Far away from you
Far away from you,
I can’t be found

I found the right words, but the message got blurred
I’m numb all over and my time is now
To make it or fake it or get mistaken for somebody else
Because I’m not enough for you

I’m not enough for you
I’m not enough for you
I’m all alone

I hate being alone
Paranoia alone

Quarter Life Crisis

I never felt the time move on, I said I never felt the time move on.
My youth has just come and gone, which they never really touched upon,
when I was studying back in school, now they're throwing me this attitude.
But I never felt the time move on, yeah I never felt the time move on.

This crazy world that we're living in,
This mundo rosa we're living in,
This mundo rosa we're living in,
This mundo rosa we're living in.

I never really looked ahead, yeah I never really look ahead,
and now they tell me all the things I dread, and I kinda wanna stay in bed.
They say work hard when you're young, but I'd rather be having fun.
Yeah I'm never gonna look ahead, I'm living now and not looking ahead.

They say work don't play, and I'm like nah nah nah.
Don't give me time of day, I'm just like nah nah nah.
They say life's a chore, but I'm like nah nah nah.
And they say fight our war, I'm like nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah

This crazy world that we're living in,
This mundo rosa we're living in,
This mundo rosa we're living in,
This mundo rosa we're living in.

I'm thinkin' that the time is now, yeah I'm thinkin' that the time is now.
And you may think that I'll never get out, but I know I'll make it through somehow.
You may think I've lost my mind, but I'll show you all in time.
That I'm gonna make it out somehow, and I know the time is now. 

They say work don't play, and I'm like nah nah nah.
Don't give me time of day, and I'm like nah nah nah.
They say life's a chore, but I'm like nah nah nah.
And they say fight our war, I'm just like nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah

Hey hey, let's go
Hey hey, let's go.
Let's go.

This crazy world that we're living in,
This mundo rosa we're living in,
This mundo rosa we're living in,
This mundo rosa we're living in.

Hey hey, let's go

Stereo

I roll out of bed, my clock rings half past.
No time to be fed, already late for my class.
But I still have time for a song on my stereo.
Yeah I always have time for a song on my stereo.

I ride my bicycle, across campus at dawn.
I feel the sun shine bright, upon the rolling green lawns
And I'm biding my time till I'm back on my stereo.
Yeah I'm counting down the time til I'm back on the stereo.

I've got teachers preaching to me about thoughts that should last,
I've got my hand on her leg at the back of the class,
Teacher turn down the lights and dumb us down with the video.
And while the kids wanna prove that we still got a chance,
While otherwise proving that we've grown up too fast,
All the moms and daddies worry bout the songs on the stereo.
Yeah the moms and daddies worry about my songs on the stereo.
 
I'm back into bed, my day is all done.
I had fun with my friends, sorry guys its never as fun.
As the time that I have when I'm rocking on the stereo.
It's been real guys but I'm back on the stereo.

And while people worship money, and the dreamers get burned,
And now everyone is wondering hey man when's it our turn,
Well the things that we want, we never want til they're already gone.
And while Fox News skews stories when the times get tough,
And people don't think we can make it, don't got talent enough,
Well pretty damn soon you'll hear my songs on your stereo.
And you’ll be wondering about the protest songs on your stereo
Listen up all you haters for my songs on your stereo. 
 

Los Angeles

I'm going down to Los Angeles and meetin' my baby there
I said I'm going down to Los Angeles and meetin' my baby there
I got my shit packed up, I'm chasing my blues
I'm feeling so fine and I've got nothing to lose
I said I'm going down to Los Angeles and meetin' my baby there

I said I'm going down to Los Angeles and meetin' my love there
I'm gonna drive myself down to Los Angeles and meet my brother there
I feel that sun so bright, and so am I
You know that wind is so high, I think I'm gonna take flight
I said I'm going down to Los Angeles and meetin' my baby there

Ta na na na na, ta na na na na
Hey baby ta na na na na, ta na na na na
Ta na na na na na na na na na
Ta na na na na, ta na na na na

But the time is coming in slow,
The things that I love well they come and go
In stereo, in stereo
Now everyone's gone and I'm all alone
In stereo, the things that I want I may never know
But in that stereo, in stereo

I said I'm going down to Los Angeles
I said I'm going down to Los Angeles
I said I'm going down to Los Angeles
Yeah yeah I'm going down to Los Angeles
Yeah I'll see you there

Behave

You think you got it all,
You think you know everything.
But a true lion stands tall,
He don’t waste his time with sheep.
So I think I’ll take a walk outside,
Its a bright and sunny day.
The flame is lit and Zion’s waiting for me,
Oh Lord, I’m stepping off that train…

And going down down down,
So you all behave.
I’m going down down down,
So you all behave.
I’m going down down down,
So you all behave,
Before I’m gone gone gone.

So judge me all you want,
But first look yourself in the eye.
Try judging your own reflection,
Because the mirror it don’t lie.
So love your sisters and your brothers,
As you’re off inside that world.
Because if you don’t got love,
For nobody but yourself, well you know,
You’re gonna end up getting burned.

We’re going down down down,
So you all behave.
We’re going down down down,
So you all behave.
We’re going down down down,
So you all behave
Before we’re gone gone gone.

You try to think you got it all.
You got that light shining from above.
But we still got many rivers to cross,
And we can make it if we share our love…

Down down down,
So you all behave.
Down down down,
So you all behave.
We’re going down down down,
So you all behave,
Before we’re gone gone gone.
And I feel it in the one drop (you all behave)
I feel it in the one drop (you all behave)
Got this one love connected in the one drop (let’s all behave)
And I’m going down to Los Angeles,
And I’m going down to Los Angeles,
And I’m going down…

What You Doing Now?

The penultimate song from Chris Parr's loving and epic Star Wars parody A New Hope: The Musical, this song finds Han and Luke parting ways as Luke joins the Rebel Alliance to go destroy the Death Star, and Han takes off with his reward. As they say their goodbyes, they wonder when they will see each other again and reflect on their fate...

HAN:
I guess this is it kid, after all that we did.
I got my money I'm out of here, I've got some debts that are overdue.

LUKE:
Hey take care of yourself, you're better at that than anything else.
Thought what we had was the real thing, guess I was wrong, what else is new?

BOTH:
What you doing now?

HAN:
Some day ten years from now, I might see you walking around.
And think of how in our glory days, there was nothing that we couldn't do.

LUKE:
Guess this is where it all ends, I just keep losing my friends.
It's all over, I'm all alone. The force was a lie, I should've seen through.

BOTH:
What you doing now?

Obi-Wan Interlude ("The Force" reprise)

LUKE:
If I just follow the light, I have inside I just might,
Fulfill this weird kind of destiny, that always was there but I just couldn't see.
I'm still not sure what it is, hell, I don't even know who I am
But I know, I'm so much more than some burnt out star lost in a galaxy far far away.

What you doing now?

Out There

The opening number from Chris Parr's loving and epic Star Wars parody A New Hope: The Musical, this song finds Luke pining for adventure out in the universe amongst the stars and Leia reaching out to a mysterious jedi knight to help save her people from the hands of Darth Vader and the galactic Empire...

LUKE:
Out there, somewhere under the moonlight.
Out there, I got this feeling inside of me telling me that it's right.
Out there, somewhere out with the stars.
Out there, I hear them calling my name and I know I can go real far.

When I'm out there, there's a whole new world of adventure
And I'm not scared, because I know I can take it,
I know I can make it out there.

LEIA:
Out there, oh Obi-Wan Kenobi please tell me that you'll answer my prayer.
We're aware, of the Empire's wrath we pissed them off with our rebel affairs.
Please know, that you're our only hope and we don't have much time to spare.
I need a jedi knight, who will stand and fight, Darth Vader's coming and we're getting prepared.

I know out there, there's a whole lot of pain and confusion
And it might be rare, but we'll fight with our might and we'll fight for our rights
out there!

ENSEMBLE:
When we're out there, there's a musical world of adventure
And we're not scared, because we'll fight with our might, and we'll fight for our rights,
and we'll fight to get by, and we'll sing really high, 
We'll take to the sky, and we'll learn how to fly
We'll shake it and break it, they'll be no mistaking
Because we know we can take it...

LUKE:
I know I can make it out there!

(Star Wars Main Title piano outro)

Far From Me Now

You cut your hair all off and you moved to the city
And you’re far far far from me now
You’re far far far from me now
You’re far far far from me now now now

You changed your wardrobe up and all of that stuff
And you gave it all to people in need
No one ever accused you of greed
But with all these changes what you gonna do about me?

When you’re walking down the road
When you’re leaving out the door
You’re so far from me

You scored a skyrise flat for minimal cash
And you’re far far far from me now
Lord knows there’s no stopping you now
Yeah you’re far far far from me now now now

Yeah yeah you majored in lit and all of that shit
Soon you’ll write for some big magazine
Next you’re novel will be up on the screen
But with all these changes what you gonna do about me?

Things are different than before
It’s getting harder to ignore
You’re so far from me

You used to always write
And stay up all night with me
But it’s never been the same
Since the day you went away from me

Now you’re the biggest star on the boulevard
And you’re far far far from me now
You’re far far far from me now
You’re far far far from me now now now

Now you never stop on by you never even try
And it’s killing me so deeply inside
The feelings I can’t seem to hide
But as you’re turning all these pages
When you gonna think about me?

Like I’m thinking about you
As you’re dreams are coming true
You’re so go damn far from me
As you’re leaving out the door

You’re so far, far, far, far, far
From me
You’re so god damn far from me

Nobody But Me

Your summer has passed, you’re starting to slow
The places you haunt, well nobody knows
You’re shackled and bound, and want to be free
And nobody cares, nobody but me

You’re locked in the hall, with nowhere to go
Your fruit is all gone, it was lost in the snow
With the tick of the clock, and the mind of a thief
But nobody cares nobody but me

And you know me
All the things I try to hide I want nobody to see
Won’t you come home
With the flowers in your hair we picked before the fall

You’re dreaming of rooms, where nothing is clear
And there stands the arch, the veil that you fear
You can follow the lines, but where would they lead
And nobody cares, nobody but me

You’re shrouded in doubt, hidden from view
Your soul’s crying out but what can you do
The mystery was solved just let yourself be
Because nobody cares nobody but me

And you know me
Staring silently in awe of the villains I watch on TV
What you don’t know, is even in the darkest night
There’s a light to guide you on home

And you know me
All the things I tend to lie so that no one truly sees me
Won’t you come home
To this family we’ve built who loves you all on your own

I love you all on your own

Nobody but me

The Ballad of Evangeline

A lonely rebel was I, walkin’ down roads
My head in the sky, my feet in the cold.
A silly teenage boy, dreamin’ of love
And you were the fire I couldn’t let go of

We were 21, when I met you again
We had had our fun, as childhood friends.
It was late December, I remember the scene,
The night my heart fell when you showed me your ring…

Oh Evangeline, where did you go?
When you came to me, and left in the snow?
Oh Evangeline, you’re makin’ me blue
Oh why, why can’t I find you?

The sun still rose, showin’ promise of spring
My heart left frozen to the core of my being.
And from my window, I could feel the cold sting,
From off in the distance, the sound of the wedding bells singing…

Evangeline, where did we go wrong?
All in between our broken love songs?
Oh Evangeline, you’re making me blue
Oh why, why can’t I find you?

And then there came that fateful night
You came to me in such a fright
I looked at you and I don’t know why
You covered up as you told me your lies
But all of the bruises on your thighs
Paled in comparison to the fear that was in your eyes
I yelled get the fuck out of there before you die
But you just ran out on me for the last time…

Evangeline, where did you go?
When you came to me, and left in the snow?
Oh Evangeline, you’re makin’ me blue
Oh why, why can’t I find?

Evangeline, why can’t I find?
Evangeline, why can’t I find?
Evangeline,
Why can’t I find?

Evangeline, where did you go?
When you came to me, and left in the snow?
Oh Evangeline, you’re makin’ me blue
Oh why, why can’t I find you?

Brand New Day

And I will never be the same,
Its a brand new day and you're with me
And everything's going my way
I'm ecstatic and I've only you to blame
It's a brand new day, the sun is shining,
Everything's okay

With your love
With your love
With your love
With your love

I love us and that is all I know
And baby where you are you know
Is where I want to go
I was drowning when you rescued me from myself
So just take my hand, run away with me,
You know there's no one else

With your love
With your love
With your love
With your love
With your love
With your love
With your love
With your love
 

The Age Of Innocence

I knew a girl, she was my everything,
inside this crazy world we're living in.
But she was the wind, floating in and out of my life, 
calling me a friend and nothing more.

Then time became my enemy, passing by me mercilessly,
never bringing her on back to me.
And I was a rolling stone, stopped dead in my tracks alone,
that day she left me silent by myself.

Skepticism flowing through my veins.
The pangs of love lost resonating, rendering me lame. 
My whole existence crumbling apart,
with all I thought I knew left echoing in the chasms of my heart.

And I knew a boy, he was wide eyed innocent, intelligent,
and joyful for his life.
But now he's a ghost, fading away rapidly, so tragically,
a mere shadow of my former self.

Nothing that I claimed to know was true.
It all was lies sold to me through pop songs with overly poetic views.
Never thought I'd make it through the strife,
until you my new love walked right in that day into my life.

Death To The Renaissance

The Birth of Venus by Italian artist Sandro Botticelli

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, 
light the darkness end of days. 
Clock strike midnight you go away, 
because every soul has a price to pay. 

So who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 

Let is go then you and I, 
under guiding light from the stars above. 
While evening is spread out against the sky, 
we will fly to places we know not of...

Singing who do you love? 
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love? 

Observe too much and go insane, 
but not enough and you'll just live in pain. 
With every drink your thirst remains, 
because without a source you've got no domain. 

So who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Love me, love me, love me, please. 
Love me, love me, love me, 
You love, it's me you love, it's me you love!

Who do you love? 
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love? 

Our roads diverge in this lonely wood, 
where the time speeds up as we slow down. 
You try to do it for some greater good, 
but the voices wake us and then we drown. 

Saying who did you love?
Who could you love?
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 

Spirit Water

Burn it down the river through, the water finds you.
Take another look around, the shores divide you.
Once upon a time, the spirits freely flowed there.
Carving lines in their faces as they slowly washed to sea.

Hey, let us down.
Hey, we all want down.
Hey, the spirit water shows us how to get there.

As you wander through the elms, in search for hallowed grounds.
Remember what was lost, and what you found.
Resurrecting stones, concealing secrets and stories.
Calling out in the night, the thirst consuming everything.

Hey, burn it down.
Hey, just let us drown.
Hey, the spirit water shows us how to get there.

And we'll burn it down today.
And we'll burn it down today.

I went down to the river side to cleanse in my bones and I drowned there.
I don't know what was inside of me at the time
But possess me won't ya?

Hey, burn it down.
Hey, just let us drown.
Hey, the spirit water shows us how to get there.

Burn it down the river through, the water finds you.
Take another look around...
