Voyage

I am a world-weary traveler
Lost on a voyage out at sea
Good thing I am a recent bachelor
On this my ex and I agree
I look at your black and white photograph
And I like what I see
A good chance that I won’t be coming back
The mermaids are all that’s left for me
I am lost on a voyage at sea
Won’t someone come and rescue me?
My head is empty and I don’t seem to care
And the fish tell me I’m too thin
Naked and alone is almost too much to bear
Looks like it’s time I learn to swim

If They Only Knew

The secrets we keep
Exposing what’s underneath
Do you have something to hide?
Or is it your foolish pride?
Under lock and key
Protected by any means
Do you have something to hide?
Or is it misplaced pride?
If they only knew
What would the world come to?

All Talk, No Action

You’re unemotional
You think you have it all worked out
You think you have the world
In the palm of you hand
You don’t, don’t you understand?
Do you sense the reaction?
Of all talk and no action
You think you have it all
In the palm of you hand
You don’t, don’t you understand?
The bottom it drops out
All talk and no action

No Blues

Everybody wants to make a living
With their opinion
Everybody wants to believe in
A chance to believe in something true
Everybody wants to be forgiven
When they're misbehaving
Everybody wants to be taken
To a safe haven with no blues
She had always filled a hunger
To feel younger
She had always dreamed of the big lights
And black lace thigh-highs
For her guy: no blues
He had a genuine love for the old folks
And rusty, old bike spokes
He knew the difference between am and fm
In giving and taking with no blues
They had a desire to start a new life
Find a yard to fly their kites
The kids growing up in the local school district
Their social life public
With no blues

The Big Break
04:07

You escape what you fear
If you to hold on to what’s dear
And when you breathe your last breath
And you come out on the other side
No more bullshit
You got your big break, man
No more
It’s only natural
It’s time for your last call
There’s no use in praying
No one is here to save you
And your memory lives on
As you roam the great beyond
Where the band always plays your favorite song
You get to check your sins
At the door coming in
And whatever hand you’re dealt you always win
No more bullshit
You got your big break, man
No more
It’s only natural
It’s time for your last call
Whatever you want to be
In your wildest fantasies
A king a queen a joker or a thief
And there’s no reality
And there’s no more grief
And you always get the answers that you seek
No more bullshit
You got your big break, man
No more
It’s only natural
It’s time for your last call

Party rat in a sanitary trap
I’m not quite sure how they're gonna feel about that
Ain’t got no patience
Ain’t got no relief
Ain’t got no money
They ain’t got no beliefs
Party rats
They can’t win for losing
Party rats
They gotta keep moving
Give it some time and I’ll be front page news
I’ll tell you what, I’ve got nothing to more to lose
I might be too much for you to explain
My own persistence ends in mortal remains
Party rats
They can’t win for losing
Party rats
They gotta keep moving
Where have all my good times gone?
