Well I'm back again for another night Of trying to break free from this sadness that I can't lay to rest This old honky-tonk sure does feel like home And the music with the laughter seem to soothe my loneliness Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue It helps me forget her, so the louder the better Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose If a tear should fall if I should whisper her name To some stranger I'm holdin' while we're dancin' to an old Buck Owens song I know she won't mind she won't even know She'll be dancing with a memory crying teardrops of her own Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue It helps me forget her so the louder the better Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue It helps me forget her so the louder the better Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose. Yeah, mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose

One, two, three, four All I need is a TV show, that and the radio Down on my luck again, down on my luck again I can show you, I can show you some of the people in my life I can show you, I can show you some of the people in my life It's driving me mad, just another way of passing the day I, I get so lonely when she's not there I, I, I, I You're just another face that I know from the TV show I have known you for so very long, I feel you like a friend Can't you do anything for me? Can I touch you for a while? Can I meet you on another day and we will fly away? I can show you, I can show you some of the people in my life I can show you, I can show you some of the people in my life It's driving me mad, it's just another way of passing the day I, I get so lonely when she's not there I, I, I, I Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again

Race records Disintegrate with me I'll take the angel's share The clock hands Sweeping up the dust Sweeping stars from my ceiling You smile With your piano teeth So let light have the hour Hello wasteland Stasis stay sis Two fingers Escapist pills And when they all woke up It was the sixties This lightship isn't light enough Coming down Two fingers This lightship isn't light enough This lightship isn't light enough

Your light It radiates But the shadows are so long I never thought That the bleeding would go on I am here I am here I've been here I've always been here Reaching forward No No styptic sweep Of the minute hand The hour glass It only filled With the quickest sand I am here I am here I've been here I've always been here Reaching forward I gave you everything But I couldn't give you my life

Why do canaries sing In the darkest mine? Even when no light is due At any time? I know why And so do you Even in the black Down in the darkest shade Their jaws are never slack How do they serenade? I know how And so do you Your touch feels like sunshine on my soul Puts the planets on my wall Someone special Why do canaries sing In the darkest mine? Even when things are so fucked up Most of the time? Even in the bitter black Or in the sharpest shade How do they sing their songs But never pull the blade? I know how And so do you Your smile Like music Your smile Is like music to me Your touch feels just like sunshine on my soul Puts the stars up on my wall Someone special

The country came fast and then it crashed On the rocks by the sea All of your creepy cash cows set free I can see a darkness and a dawn I can see a darkness and a dawn I wonder which will win? Hold on Thank you for the lifeboat, it's the one that I float to The gap between the classes grew wide enough to swallow you too Ground up by the teeth All your bulls and bears became meat Uncivil gods ruling too many people Black and white wars next to every steeple A nation set to break On the rocks by the sea On the rocks by the sea On the rocks by the sea On the rocks by the sea If you ever want to know me, just listen very closely to All of my rhymes And don't forget to look between the lines So many silenced beneath the greedy waves' roar I think we'll find that less is so much more As we sun ourselves On the rocks by the sea On the rocks by the sea

Brightest day, my dear Let's wake up slowly, keep sleeping dogs near We've got no better place to be Let's lie in drowsy weeds You wear a crown of waves A forest of hair with briar that frames You kill clocks and time obeys Hoping to see tomorrow Scatter your wolves afield Dull all the knives and heal So good to see you feeling Alright

'Good God' she said 'Just look at them preen' 'Good God' I said 'I prefer the edge of the scene' Where you can choose just to use A little tiny fuse when you light it Oh yeah It isn't all or nothing so please don't fight it Yeah Somebody please offer me a contract So I can turn it down Learning to reject your ways Is how I found my precious sound Every time in my mind I paint outside the lines until I hear What I see But listen well coz I can tell when it's just not really me But listen well coz I can tell when it's just not really Me Fake it till you make it That which doesn't kill us Makes us weak That which doesn't thrill us Makes us tweak That which doesn't fill us Makes us meek That which doesn't bill us Helps us sleep It isn't all or nothing so please don't fight it - yeah It isn't all or nothing so please don't fight it - yeah Fake it till you make it When your high hopes fall down Fake it till you make it When your soul kite hits the ground Fake it till you make it When you can't find the right sound Fake it till you make it
