Anyday Now

It’s a good time
To read my mind
And it’s the right day to go away
It’s the same thing as the day before
and it’s the right time to walk out that door

And I’m going away
Anyday now
Just you wait and see
I’m on my way
Anyday now

It’s a good day to lose your mind
If you can’t find it
You could always have mine
And it’s the first time it occurred to me
That now is the one time I have to be free

And I’m going away
Anyday now
Just you wait and see
I’m on my way
Anyday now

Almost

Words and Music by Michael Koppelman

Almost

Half way open
Dimly lit
Almost real
Almost it
Almost love
Almost sex
Almost

Almost heaven
Almost earth
Almost dying
Almost birth
Almost over
Almost done
Almost

Feeling Normal

Words and Music by Michael Koppelman and Steve Mayone

Feeling Normal

Open up your eyes and look around
All the little people running ’round
Precious little sunlight fading down
I don’t remember nothing

I remember those days feeling normal
Chasing all the pretty girls
I remember most days feeling normal
Now I don’t feel nothing
I don’t feel nothing

Close up all the windows laying low
Geometry is backwards time moves slow
A world full of things you don’t want to know
I don’t remember nothing

I remember those days feeling normal
Chasing all the pretty girls
I remember most days feeling normal
I don’t want to be
It’s obvious to see that you never loved me
I don’t want to be
It’s obvious to see that you never loved me

Open up your eyes and look around
All the little people running ’round
Precious little sunlight fading down
I don’t remember nothing

I remember those days feeling normal
Chasing all the pretty girls
I remember most days feeling normal
I don’t want to be
It’s obvious to see that you never loved me
I don’t want to be
It’s obvious to see that you never loved me
I won’t want to see
All the things you’ll be in your life without me
I don’t want to be
It’s obvious to see that you never loved me

A Kind of Peace of Mind

Words and Music by Michael Koppelman & Steve Mayone

A Kind of Peace of Mind

She said it’s something you’ll find
A kind of peace of mind
Never think ahead and never look behind
She said you’ll make it someday
If you look the right way
And never listen to what other people say

Hard as I try is it getting any better
Is it something inside or just something in the weather
Heaven is hidden but it isn’t that far
If you figure out who you are

She said nothing that day
That was meant the right way
But I figured it out as she turned away
That it’s something I’ll find
A kind of peace of mind
Never think ahead and never look behind

Pocketful of Promises

Words and Music by Stephen Mayone

Pocketful of Promises

Where do you go
With a pocketful of promises
Inside your coat
Underneath your hat

Do you where it out
Or keep it where the sun don’t shine
Keep your fingers clean
Keep yourself intact

There’s something more
Everyone is telling me
But all I know is what I see

When I dig deep into my pockets full of promises
All I feel are my hands and fists

Now I believe
That accidents don’t happen
Yeah I believe in the Mother Ship
And what I’ll be has already happened
Got a full tank of gas
Let’s let it rip

I wish I could
Turn off all the voices
Yeah I would
Call the whole thing off

But people think that I don’t know my choices
With a pocketful of promise

Fear

Fear

When you say what you mean to me
Well it doesn’t mean a thing, cause I know that you’ve never been free
And you say that you need to know
Well it’s obvious you don’t by the way that you just say so
Then you say what you mean to me
And it doesn’t mean a thing, cause I know that you’ve never been free

Then you say you need a perfect life
And you want it on a platter overnight with your perfect wife
Then you plan what you’re gonna do
With the big bag of money that they give you just for being you
Then you say what you mean to me
and it doesn’t mean a thing, cause I know that you’ve never been free

Spirits Are Moving

Words and Music by Michael Koppelman

Spirits Are Moving

People live and people die
People seldom wonder why
People go and people stay
People throw their lives away
People live and people die

People die and people live
People sin and they forgive
People work and people play
People lie and they betray
People take and people give

And this is all you’ll ever have
What you get is what you grab
This is all you’ll ever be
What you get is what you see

People high and people low
People bright and people slow
People quick and people dead
Hiding underneath your bed
People come and people go

And this is all you’ll ever have
What you get is what you grab
This is all you’ll ever be
What you get is what you see
