Standing on the edge of the Palisades' Cliffs In the shadow of the skyline very far away Like a lightning rod that couldn? t pull the storm from me I was 5 years old, my best friend's older brother died He fell from these cliffs The river washed him away, the current pulled him downstream And our lives float in the headlines, so we park these cars Parent? s garage listen to the lullaby Of carbon monoxide War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags If the sun doesn't rise We'll replace it with an H-bomb explosion A painted jail cell of light in the sky Like three mile island nightmares On TVs that sing us to sleep They burn on and on like an oil field Or a memory of what it felt like To burn on and on and not just fade away All those nights in the basement The kids are still screaming On and on and on and on War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags And we? re blowing in the wind We don? t know where to land So we kiss like little kids We used to be very tall buildings We? ve been falling for so long Now your eyes are a sign on the edge of town They offer a welcome when you are leaving War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags The pieces fall it? s like a last day parade And the fires in our streets start to rage So wave to those people who long to wave back From the fabric of a flag that sang, "Love all of the time" War all the time, war all the time All of the time War all the time, war all the time All of the time, all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time

Down the trail of achin' hearts Where nobody's hidin' their tears You sent me there where sadness starts Down the trail of achin' hearts. You told me I was your darling You kept me hanging around Somebody else is your darling So lonesome and blue I'll be found. Down the trail of achin' hearts Where nobody's hidin' their tears You sent me there where sadness starts Down the trail of achin' hearts. --- Instrumental --- Once I was passing your window Under the light of a star Somebody else played my love song And played it on my old guitar. Down the trail of achin' hearts Where nobody's hidin' their tears You sent me there where sadness starts Down the trail of achin' hearts...

Those that try anything once Should we care about the only ones? All the time that I need is never quite enough All the time that I have is all that's necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're living a lie Baby you're flying too high No one talks, about the war On my blood, or by the shore All alone in a room Do you want what I want too? All the time in the world Is all that's necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're living a lie Baby you're flying too high You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby you're flying too high Don't get on the phone Don't reach for the door You know the answer that you're looking for You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby you're flying too high

All the time, every time I need it What's the time? I'd say the time is right Here's to me, let's find another reason Down the hatch, and a bad attitude, salud Wasting time, wasting time down a bum fuck road And I don't know where the hell it'll go Heirlooms, huffing fumes, and I'm picking up the pace And I'm gonna smash straight into a wall All the time, New Year's resolutions How soon that we forget Doing time, and loving every minute Live it up on another let down, salud Promises, promises, it was all set in stone Cross my heart, and I hope to die Sugar fix, dirty tricks, and a trick question Guess I should've read between the lines Having the time of my life Watching the clock tick Having the time of my life Watching the clock tick All the time, where did all the time go? It's too late to say goodnight Time flies when you're having fun, yeah Time's up when you work like a dog, salud Yeah

Oh mama don't walk away I'm a goddamn sore loser I ain't too proud to say That I'm still thinking 'bout you And I'm so lonesome without you And I can't get you out of my mind Oh mama don't leave me alone With my soul shut down so tight Just like a stone cold tomb Ain't it clear when I'm near you I'm just dying to hear you Calling my name one more time Oh so don't pay no mind To my watering eyes Must be something in the air That I'm breathing Yes and try to ignore All this blood on the floor It's just this heart on my sleeve that's bleeding Oh mama don't walk away You leave me here bereaving From the words so hard and plain Saying the love that we had Was just selfish and sad Yes but to see you now with him Is just making me mad Oh so kiss him again Just to prove to me that you can I will stand here And burn in my skin Yes I will stand here And burn in my skin

I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger Stung by anger, burned by law Feel so Scattered, like nothing really matters anymore, Put that sign out, on my front door Hitching a ride on the PCH I got some things I need to say Calling out a friend of mine I don't know where the years have gone, Just know I'm worse for hanging on Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai I knew a good man, he was a break in the Clouds, Hanging so low down It's got me to thinking, it's not like he gave in, He just never got that second win Hitching a ride on the PCH I got some things I need to say Calling out a friend of mine I don't know where the years have gone, Just know I'm worse for hanging on Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai Ojai-Ojai I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger Son, hedge your wager, cause life ain't fair I been shaken, sorely mistaken, this path I've taken Ain't going nowhere Hitching a ride on the PCH I got some things I need to say Calling out a friend of mine I don't know where the years have gone, Just know I'm worse for hanging on Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai
