Sometimes a girl can change your whole damn life by just existing
Sends you a smile across the room - she looks right into your soul
She has the confidence you lack, and it’s no use resisting.
You may hesitate, but she is not afraid to say hello…
Wake up
It’s time
Are you gonna seize the day or not?
Make up
Your mind -
You’re about to miss your shot.
‘Cause when she knocks,
She’ll take the door clean off the hinges.
She don’t listen to advice -
Miss Opportunity’s not known for knocking twice.
She puts your pleasantries aside like so much window dressing.
There’s more than small talk on her mind, and you can read it on her face.
You got the green light - hit the gas! Don’t sit there second-guessing!
Vacillating over signals you could see from outer space…
Wake up
It’s time
Are you gonna seize the day or not?
Make up
Your mind -
You’re about to miss your shot.
‘Cause when she knocks,
She’ll take the door clean off the hinges.
She don’t listen to advice -
Miss Opportunity’s not known for knocking twice.
The girl’s a sunrise -
If you wait too long, she’ll pass you by,
My friend.
Patience is a virtue,
But indecision only ever hurts you
In the end.
Wake up
It’s time
Are you gonna seize the day or not?
Make up
Your mind -
You’re about to miss your shot.
‘Cause when she knocks,
She’ll take the door clean off the hinges.
She don’t listen to advice -
Miss Opportunity’s not known for knocking twice.

Well I’m tired of fuckin round and finding out
Wish I’d think of that before I run my mouth
I’ve heard it’s better to be mute
And have folks think that you’re a fool
Than to speak up and remove all trace of doubt
All my memories of shame and regret
Been on account of something stupid that I said
All the times I raised my hand and put hollow thoughts to word
As if they really needed to be heard
There are things you can’t unsay
You can always start today
Save yourself a world of trouble before the words come tumbling out
Take the opportunity to shut your mouth
If I could go and tell my younger self one thing
I’d say you don’t have to be heard just to be seen
But maybe that would make things worse
Because I’m still using my words
Maybe in all this time I haven't learned a thing
Things could always be worse I expect
And quiet dignity is all that I have left
And the way you’ve been perceived
Is a thing you’ll always grieve
Though chances are that no one else would recollect

Verse 1
Games are made for boys and girls
To pass free time away
Grown-up men and women have
Real life to do all day
But I’m about to sign my name
Upon the dotted line
A three month contract there at hand
After the open combine
I resigned today
To go and play
Chorus
The last gasp of an empire
A limitless frontier
Raised finger of an umpire
Sends off my career
To swing the ball through soupy air
Or spin it towards the bails
It‘s more than just game to me now
And I can’t afford to fail
Verse 2
My colleagues think I’m crazy
And frankly they’re not far
If I could be a journeyman
Don’t need to be a star
The pitch is irresistible
They know my weakness well
Always wondering what would be
If I decline the sale
I resigned today
To go and play
Chorus
Bridge
Ashes ashes all fall down
Around this scheming dreaming clown
The stands near empty, I don’t care
New ball turns in the floodlights’ glare
Chorus
The last gasp of an empire
A limitless frontier
Raised finger of an umpire
Sends off my career
To swing the ball through soupy air
Or spin it towards the bails
It‘s more than just game to me now
And I can’t afford to fail

V1
Jehovah's witnesses came by today
I told them to go pound sand
I'm living here in happy sin
Door-to-door salvation's not my plan
Next up some girl scout charlatans
tried to squeeze inside my door
I took all those heroin cookies
And I threw them out on the floor
PCH E F# E F#
What doesn't kill us makes us weaker
When life knocks you down stay down
So if you come by hanging round my door
I'll pretend that I'm not around
CH
If opportunity comes by knockin'
Tell them I'm not in
I'm hiding out in my bedroom
New stranger things at ten
up on 11th G#, F#, E, D#
I once had the chance
To be the greatest star
Play sold out shows
and drive fancy cars
open E, F#
I froze up and ran that day
So when opportunity knocks I say
Just go away
V2
Next my neighbor came by banging
Asking me to return his drill
I told him to go take a jump in a lake
and the fax me over the bill
Then my wife and kids were yelling
saying the house was ablaze
I knew they were trying to trick me again
so I ignored them the growing haze
PCH
What doesn't kill us makes us weaker
When life knocks you down stay down
So if you come by hanging round my door
I'll pretend that I'm not around
CH
If opportunity comes a knockin'
Tell them I'm not in
I'm hiding out in my bedroom
New stranger things at ten
I once had the chance
To be the greatest star
Play sold out shows
and drive fancy cars
I froze up and ran that day
So when opportunity knocks I say
Just go away
V3
Now I'm in the severe burn ward
they grafted my leg onto my face
the nurse said "you Take your meds!"
I said, "get out of my personal space"
At least I think that I told her
with my new leg-face, I can't see
So if there's any lesson to take away
If you come knocking, I'm gonna ask you to
leave~

There’s history to be made
And it’s not going to wait on you
We’ve set you a place
Don’t hesitate to spread the news
Cut away the nagging little questions
Revolution comes with some concessions
The stage is set and here’s your cue
So light the fuse and start running
The nightly news is gunning for you
We're made for legacy and lore
Hey now you know you're really winning
So keep those silver plates spinning
Cement this building floor by floor
They’re at the door
But they’re not knocking
Fill those empty hands or they’re walking
You’re in the way or you’re with the flow
Hip and in, the insiders know
The game goes to the one with the guts
Everybody’s got a price and they want their cut
We’re minting the money that makes the world want more
So light the fuse and start running
The nightly news is gunning for you
We're made for legacy and lore
Hey now you know you're really winning
So keep those silver plates spinning
Cement this building floor by floor
Don’t you want to get in on the ground floor
You’ll be the envy of your friends
Maybe some resentment
I just need your small investment
Everybody’s getting in on the ground floor
Put your petty doubts out of your mind
Just sign with intangible ink
On the untraceable line
Ohhhhhhh
So light the fuse and start running
The nightly news is gunning for you
We're made for legacy and lore
Hey now you know you're really winning
So keep those silver plates spinning
Cement this building floor by floor
Cement this building floor by floor

I remember when we met
You took me by surprise and I just couldn't let
You be the one that got away
'Cause every person that we meet
Presents an opportunity
To put our best and worst parts on display
And I hid so much of myself from you
So you saw the best parts shining through
The cracks that others left along the way
The time I let the worst slip out
You didn't seem to care about
The darkness that had clouded all my days
I remember how you called me Sunshine
I never knew that I could burn so bright
And even though you weren't all mine
What we had was pure and right
Well you brought out the best in me,
But what about the rest of me?
What'll happen when you see
The rest of me?
For you I spent six whole months sober
'Cause you made life worth starting over
But I never would've done it just for me
'Cause I never saw the light at the end
Until you showed me how to mend
The tunnels where I had dug too deep
The catacombs were caving in and
Though my hope was wearing thin
You were light and helped me finally see
You helped me find a way to the surface
And guided me to a sense of purpose
And when I spoke you took me honestly
I remember how you called me Sunshine
I never knew that I could burn so bright
And even though you weren't all mine
What we had was pure and right
Well you brought out the best in me,
But what about the rest of me?
What'll happen when you see
The rest of me?
These days I don't see your light anymore
But I hope that you still illuminate those caves and rocky shores
For all those who pass by your door
Just wish that I could see your light once more
I remember how you called me Sunshine
I never knew that I could burn so bright
And even though you weren't all mine
What we had was pure and right
Well you brought out the best in me,
But what about the rest of me?
What'll happen when you see
The rest of me?

I Wrote you a new song
With words tender and true
But I had so much to drink...
I forgot the tune!
Smoked up some courage
To tell you of my love
Knocked on your door...
But I was wearing gloves!
I can blame it on missed calls
Blown chances
Broken doors and broken fences
Wrong choices, alarming fear
Mistaken faces in the funhouse mirror
Walked home alone
Through the rain and lonely mud
Your number called my phone...
Erased by an errant touch!
I can blame it on missed calls
Blown chances
Broken doors and broken fences
Wrong choices, aarming fear
Mistaken faces in the funhouse mirror
I can blame it on missed calls
Blown chances
Broken doors and broken fences
Wrong choices, alarming fear
Mistaken faces in the funhouse mirror
There’s always next summer…. ooooooooh……
There’s always next summer…. ooooooooh……

I'm taking each week day by day
What they're sayin doesn't matter anyway
I carry a world upon my back
Each step a struggle, every breath a gasp
One day while asleep, I hear a shriek
The tree of possibility quickly grows from a seed
Is it worth the energy?
The sun sets low, the moon rises high
In the darkness, I'll climb and I'll glide
Through the leaves, I'll search and I'll find
The missing piece to my state of mind
I move to go achieve my dreams
A raging river right in front of me
The river is wide, and oh so deep
I'm not discouraged, with this urge inside of me
The water start pourin over my head
Is it worth the energy?
The sun sets low, the moon rises high
I won't let the devil get in my way
It may be slow but I'll make it there someday,
Climbing, Clinging, tooth and nail
I'll give my last breath before I fail
The sun sets low, the moon rises high
In the darkness, I'll climb and I'll glide
Through the leaves, I'll search and I'll find
The missing piece to my state of mind
The sun sets low, the moon rises high
In the darkness, I'll climb and I'll glide
Through the leaves, I'll search and I'll find
The missing piece to my state of mind

Walking you home on a warm summer’s night
And we left the party pumping, it’ll run till it’s light
An offer of coffee was made by the gate to the park in the dark
My flutter of panic unsettles the birds
They take to the sky and they leave us on earth
The offer repeated a hint that so much more is in store
Will we look at this moment and feel the regret for decisions we made for better or best?
The fractional gains that brought us to here, the signals, tequila, the Cointreau, the beer
This opportunity’s a conundrum of sorts
These glimpses of pleasure regretted of course
Instead I returned to the party the wine and my wife and my life
I’d wanted that more than I’d ever admit
But when push came to shove I was scared from my wits
Another cute wrinkle in life and my narrative arc; I bear marks
I couldn’t explain why I wanted to leave, my urge was to run and I needed to flee
The look in your eye disappointment I bet that the night ran its course and it ended a mess
But you’d said you couldn’t stand to see me with someone else
Though you didn’t want me either all to yourself
Magic things happen when stories and saints are aligned
Was it destiny calling to us, or just the white wine?
Time is a pressure and time never stops
The only way to capture time is a clock
My feelings got frozen and stuck in a groove in a line at the time
The sun never rose on our endless midnight
And I turned my back then and was sucked into night
These moments indelibly etched and are fixed for all time, in my mind
I didn’t mean to hurt you or mess with your head, my thoughts were always selfish my mind never there
Choices were made and I live with the past and you never mention it, I never ask
But you’d said you couldn’t stand to see me with someone else
Though you didn’t want me either all to yourself
Magic things happen when stories and saints are aligned
Was it destiny calling to us, or just the white wine?

You were reading Sally Rooney
I was dreaming ‘bout you and me
Looking for a World so Beautiful
Too invested in the praxis
Exercising Fabian tactics
Delayed so long I felt a fool
You culled me from the lonely pack
In my suburban cul de sac
Your eyes upon me brighter than the sun
But you never miss a chance to ask if I'm down for some fun
And you never miss a chance to miss a chance to tell me I’m your number one
I was thinking it was fine
You said you had to draw a line
Between loving me and the things you need
But I always thought that you’d be mine
But you never miss a chance to tell me why you’re right
And you never miss a chance to pick another fight
Yeah you never miss a chance to send me out into the night
And you never miss a chance to miss a chance you missed your chance and now you’ll miss me

Reaching out for green lights
It wasn't just you
The jazz and the liquor
I was there too
I didn't come
Here for your amusement
The chances you see
Are all an illusion
You're not one of them
And nothing was given for free
The window was temporary
The way you make your money
The indifference of the shimmers and the stars
The eyes that are judging
Follow a speeding car
I didn't come
Here for your amusement
The chances you see
Are all an illusion
You're not one of them
And nothing was given for free
The window was temporary

these twenty years,
my precious bride,
have been so hard
since you have died
but in my search
ive chanced a trick of sorcery
a secret chant
told to rewind
another chance
to live our lives
rewrite the story
of our forgone tragedy
ride out to the magic lands
i will pilfer the tome and then make my plans
im ready, theres no price too great
now the power is in my hands
i wont make my mistakes, i can take it all back
a chance at a happier fate
forbidden knowledge paired
with desperation dares
to make the world anew
a warning sent
from up on high
"the scroll you took
the devil scribed.
promise of heaven
but will surely bring on hell"
though fallen on
my deafen ears
they told the truth
or so they feared
but its too late
for ive already cast the spell
no nothing can stop me now
i will see you again i do not care how
its too close i cant turn away
fate ripples and chaos rises
reality cedes. yes! a divine light is
dawning a brighter new day
now in the pitch of night
conjuring blinding light
to make the world anew
summoning arcane might
to set the timeline right
to find my way to you
fighting the waves
defiant, unyielding
its irreversable
or so they say
fate's will be damned
hear my call - i am coming!
ill move the sands of time to save you now
to never say goodbye

It’s fallen in your lap
Like a golden ticket
Take this chance and never look back
Everything you have
It’s not as though you’d miss it
Take this chance and never look back
Melt away into the crowd
Lose yourself amongst the clouds
You shy away from love
As if it were a trial
Overcome the fear in your heart
You can’t remain immune
Living in denial
Overcome the fear in your heart
Don’t allow the moment to slip
You’re bolder than you will admit

Stuck in the past
Living in a cyclorama
Stand still and watch
As your world spins around
You might find
What you’ve lost
Turns into something
Ready to be found
What’s the opportunity cost?
It turns out, not a lot
When you’re out op shop shopping
When you’re out op shopping
Op shopping at the shops
Op shop
It moves quickly now
Living in the fashion fast lane
Searching for that
Sweet hit of dopamine
You might lose
What you need and
Never notice as you
Come apart at the seams
What’s the opportunity cost?
It turns out, not a lot
When you’re out op shop shopping
When you’re out op shopping
Op shopping at the shops
Op shop
They say real beauty is
On the inside
That remains to be seen
Throw us a bone for some
New to you threads
We’ll take a look on our
Brand spanking
X-ray machine
What’s the opportunity cost?
It turns out, not a lot
When you’re out op shop shopping
When you’re out op shopping
Op shopping at the shops
Op shop

(Intro)
You’re telling me they can die by the bullet
But they’re not allowed to wear a dress
You’re telling me they can die by the bullet
But they’re too young to talk about sex (and gender and how those two things are intertwined but different all together.)
You’re telling me the right to bear arms comes before the right to self express
You’re telling me that a drag show party is more dangerous than death
Well I’ve got hands and I’ve got feet
I’ve got a body we could meet
Show up and show ‘em that we care
You’ve got a chance
You’ve got a choice
I’ve got a song
You’ve got a voice I’d like to hear it fill the air
(and it goes like…)
We will not be silent, we will not comply
We will stand together we are unified
By a love of Justice, it’s a love that guides all we do
Stop telling me war famine disease is all just par for the course?
Remind me once again again what are we fighting for?
It’s always the children that lose the war
You’re telling me that the profits of a few are worth more than clean water to you
You break your promises but that’s nothing new, it was just another political platitude
Well I’ve got hands and I’ve got feet
I’ve got a body we could meet
Show up and show ‘em that we care
You’ve got a chance
You’ve got a choice
I’ve got a song
You’ve got a voice I’d like to hear it fill the air
(and it goes like…)
We will not be silent, we will not comply
We will stand together we are unified
By a love of Justice, it’s a Love that guides all we do
In every moment every possibility, It’s all at once, everything is everywhere
You can dance you can sing you can cry you can drink, Tell me what do you choose to share?
There’s no such thing as alone, There’s no such thing as alone
I am here, as you are me, and I am we, and we are all in this thing together
We might as well make the world a whole lot a bit better
(airport security guard - interlude)
It only takes 3.5% of a population to effect radical social change through a movement of non-violent direct action. We can do it if we stand together. You know it. I know it. It’s just a matter of getting to it.
Well we’ve got hands and I’ve got feet
we’ve got a body we could meet
Show up and show ‘em that we care
We’ve got chances
We’ve got a choices
We’ve got songs
We’ve got voices I’d like to hear it fill the air
We’ve got kindness we’ve got strength
We’ll march the march no matter the length
We’ll put our bodies on the line because we care
Create a better world to share
Every day and every moment opportunity awaits
The gate is open, will you take it?
You can take the reins
Choose to make a change
Don’t you know this human thing is strange
Oh never forget this one little thing…
You are never alone (x2)
We’ve got chances
We’ve got a choices
We’ve got songs
We’ve got voices I’d like to hear it fill the air
We’ve got kindness we’ve got strength
We’ll march the march no matter the length
We’ll put our bodies on the line because we care
Create a better world to share

i want to live where there’s not so far to go
and the answer is never no
I want to open the door to the people we know
haven’t yet had a go
I want to stand to the side and welcome pride
Can i hear your voice, can I hear your voice?
I want to swing what I need to swing
when it needs to swing so that we bring a fucken end to this ceiling
I want to be in the land of care and peace
where the words are soft and the love is free
I want to be where the water discovers my feet
and it takes me back to me
I want to be where the rain falls down on me
and it gets me wet and it gets me wet
I want to be where I want to be when I want to be
what I want to be we got everything we need
I want to wake in the warmth of the golden rays
let me recalibrate
I want to stay where there’s people making a space
for every other way
I want to say there’s a rainbow every day
and it leads the way and it leads the way
i want to change what we need to change when it needs to change
so that we can say we are going to make it great
We are going to make it great

We’ve been trying to make it work, but
lately it’s a total chore
Might make me sound like a jerk, but
we’ll never get back what we had before
We used to be so in sync, but now
baby, we’re on the brink
I can see the hope in your eyes
and it’s making me realize
This is not an opportunity
for vulnerability
We’re in crisis, and christ it’s plain for all to see
I heard an awkward rumor
You’ve been steppin’ out on me
This ain’t no oppour-tuni
not an opportunity
You always say that we just need to
prioritize intimacy
Forget, forgive, and have faith to
cast that mountain into the sea
I can’t help but feel unsure, as
you’re pushin’ me to endure
new ways to communicate
but maybe it’s just too late
This is not an opportunity
for growth and intimacy
We’re in crisis, the price is equanimity
I heard an awkward rumor
You think I need therapy
This ain’t no oppor-tuni
not an opportunity
doom, doom, doom and despair
this is how love dies
where there once was hope, now there’s none there
please realize
This is now an opportunity
to stop with impunity
End the crisis, and ice this, sad catastrophe
I spread an awkward rumor
you've been wanting rid of me
This is your oppor-tuni
golden opportunity

I don’t need a torch or a candle
Comfort kills adventure dead
Took a flight up over the handles
Landed where no angels tread
I trust I’m not completely lost now
I should have learned to read these stars
I’m really starting to regret
Leaving the map in the car
When the sun goes down
I feel my stomach sinking
What was I proving
What was I thinking
When it comes back around
Hard ground
I hit the ground stumbling
Somewhere so cold and numbing
I think I missed an incoming call
Somebody please give me a sign
A garden living in four walls
With fruit all dead on the vine
Now the hesitation leads to ruin
Near misses leaving deeper wounds
When it all comes down
And the smoke is stinging my eyes
Who am I pleasing
With all this leaving
Frozen fast by the sound
Of the endless next thing coming
I strain to hear it
The song my heart’s been humming
And I hit the ground stumbling
Towards some remembered light
To a time I got it right
And when they find me out
I know it's too late now
What could I do but run
Not who I could become
When the doors start closing
Do you jump?
What can you do but jump?
When it all comes down
And the smoke is stinging my eyes
Who am I pleasing
With all this leaving
Frozen fast by the sound
Of the endless next thing coming
I strain to hear it
The song my heart’s been humming
And I hit the ground stumbling
Towards some remembered light

so here's me, age thirteen
finals of the statewide spelling bee
if i can just spell 'privilege'
i'll win the heart of the lovely karen wong
and a book voucher
relax, i know it starts with P
i sail right through the R I V
then just like that my courage fails
and everything goes hideously wrong
i even put a D in it
i'm mister opportunity
i missed a word, i missed my chance
i missed a life with the lovely karen wong
something in me changed that day
i know it sounds absurd to say
my life forever ruined by a nine-letter word
karen wong don't hang with no bad speller
karen wong deserves a clever fella
karen wong don't hang with nobody like me
karen wong don't hang with no bad speller
karen wong deserves a pretty clever fella
karen wong deserves someone better than me
do you ever feel like you're tumbling down a hill
hitting every single rock along the way?
do you ever feel you're tumbling down a hill?
now here's me, age fifty three
frying chooks at KFC
dreaming of the life that might've been
with the lovely karen wong
but i'm not bitter about it
(P-R-I-V-I-L-E-G-E)
no, i'm not bitter about it
yeah, i'm not bitter about it
(why'd you never speak to me
after that stupid spelling bee?
did i do something wrong?
yours sincerely, karen wong)

I believe
that we have made a mess of this place
and I understand
that sorrow’s only half a step away
and I know
that we have got a calling to chase
and I can’t escape
the feeling that we’re letting everything decay
do you believe
that we can just continue on the same
and never leave
and somehow make the blight just slip away?
and can it be
there’s secrets in the books and underneath
and is it me
they’re calling on to save eternity?
and I believe
that we can not sit back
and wait for these things
to happen
we’ve got to work
got to work
got to work
got to wotk
got to work
work
work
work
work
work
work it out!
and I don’t believe in hope
no I don’t believe it
I believe
plan a is better for us than plan b
and I can see
the stars have got the answers that we need
and can I find
a way to send a message back to me?
and gravity
and time will tell you everything you need to know
and I believe
that we can not sit back
and wait for these things
to happen
we’ve got to work
got to work
got to work
got to wotk
got to work
work
work
work
work
work
work it out!
and I don’t believe in hope
no I don’t believe in hope
I don’t believe in hope
no I don’t believe it

For So long now we've been climbing
We've scratched, scrimped and saved for years
Now, luck and circumstance and timing
and suddenly a chance appears
It was starting to seem like we might never see where we were going
I began to beleive that we might go the rest of our lives, never knowing
But This could be it.
This could be the one
This could be our moment in the sun
I'm starting to think
that this could be good,
I don't wanna jinx it,
so I'm knockin' on wood
We do what we have to to make it through
You take and you lose, you get and you give
Count yourself among the lucky few
if you end up net-positive
Recognize the chance when it is handed to you and take it for a spin,
I heard once before, when god closes a door, life smashes your windows in.
But This could be it.
This could be the one
This could be our moment in the sun
I'm starting to think
that this could be good,
I don't wanna jinx it,
so I'm knockin' on wood
If we take it
could we make it
Could we see a brighter day
I know what I'd choose,
'Cuz What's there to lose?
We'd be here anyway
I'm starting to think
that this could be good,
I'm crossing my fingers,
I'm knockin' on wood
This could be it
But then again maybe not,
We'll never know 'til we take a shot
But This could be it.
This could be the one
This could be our moment in the sun
I'm starting to think
that this could be good,
I don't wanna jinx it,
so I'm knockin' on wood

V1
I thought I had forever
Like we do when we’re so young
When our futures and our feathers are so fine
I let a lot of good ones go
Striking gold was not enough
Thought I’d find something better down the line
V2
You came into my life
And you should have been enough
But like I often did I went astray
But as I’m looking back
Well, it’s so obvious to me
You were the one that got away
Chorus:
Can we try-y-y, try again
(I said) it’s not you it’s me
And that was true
Closed the door behind
Like that would be the end
But it haunts me that decision
To leave you…
Can we try…try again
V3
I’m not making any claim
That I deserve a second chance
Like a little kid who ran away from home
But I’m a better man
A weathered hat in his hand
Hoping love like ours is never really gone
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Oh but this time will be different
And I pledge it from my knees
I’ll stay with you forever
So one more time I’m asking please
Repeat Chorus

Why you gotta die to get to heaven
Everything will be alright if you let it
Grass is always greener when you’re not the one mowing it the truth is important unless you’re the one knowing it
Life is funny you gotta be jokin life is patient slowly eroding the fabric of my space time leave me in stitches cuz I waste time talkin at god trying to get some face time Mano a Mano I rage against the dying of the light just like Icarus when he took flight I wonder what that looked like grabbing the bull by the horns and the semi by the headlights you got me dead to rights free your mind feed your head right allow me to take this opportunity to reality check the mic heaven is right here in your heart and your mind
Why does opportunity knock when you least expect it everything will get better if you let it square pegs jammed tight into round holes life cuts both ways don’t judge a guitar by the sound hole or make a mountain out of mole hills chemical composition swallow more pills stay cold like so chill if I never sell a single record I’ll flow still smooth as silk sweet as honey and milk that never spills
I wonder what that looked like grabbing the bull by the horns and the semi by the headlights you got me dead to rights free your mind feed your head right allow me to take this opportunity to reality check the mic heaven is right here in your heart and your mind and you know that’s right

A million little things
You try to say to me
In the crowd
Ignore the subtlety
To keep the benefit of the doubt
But what am I so afraid of?
I just can't let it go
The opportunity comes again
But it's never the right time
To draw the line and be strong
Swallow my words like I don't care

Mandibles - Time Machine

History is set in stone
The past is everlasting
Every moment stands alone
Like dominoes in twisted rows
Every hour and day and breath
Is leading where I couldn’t dare
The future holds my heart bereft
A promised land of dark despair
When the time arrives
I will know that I’ve
Had all the joy that life
Could give
But what I give you more time
If I had the chance to do it again
Would I change a thing?
One chance to prevent a bitter end
And in exchange: everything
I know I’ll soon be losing you
The stone has carved your name
But there’s a little thing I could do
Just lose it all so you remain
If you and I had never met
Then you would have your chance
Go back in time and then forget
Every part of our romance
Is it better never to have loved
When losing you means everyone has lost
Better never ever having to fall
And our memories are the cost
Is it better losing all we had
All the good and all the bad
Every sordid rendezvous
Is it better losing you?

I tried it once
But I don't like it
I won’t try anything new ever again
That’s the way I am if you don’t like it
Ill just ignore you and let you know I don’t care
“Nothing ever happens here” he said while nowhere
When you hear that
Knock Knock Knocking at your door
Aren’t you gonna answer?
Don’t you wanna know who it's for?
I really must insist that you no longer ignore
Because opportunity might be what’s
Knock Knock Knocking at your door
So answer the door
I’m busy now
Please call back later
Why would I answer? You can reach me online
Alone in pain I’ll become greater
I’ll figure it out eventually plus I don’t care
All good, I don’t need help, I’m doing fine inside I swear, plus
“Nothing ever happens here” he said while nowhere
When you hear that
Knock Knock Knocking at your door
Aren’t you gonna answer?
Don’t you wanna know who it's for?
I really must insist that you no longer ignore
Because opportunity might be what’s
Knock Knock Knocking at your door
I imagine now (I imagine now)
All of the years that I wasted
Oh what could have been
What we could have seen
If I hadn’t thrown (I hadn’t thrown)
It out the second I tasted
Something that smelt a little fishy to me
I locked the deadbolt and swallowed the key
Another decade gone before I answered the door again
So I implore
When you hear that
Knock Knock Knocking at your door
Aren’t you gonna answer?
Don’t you wanna know who it's for?
I really must insist that you no longer ignore
Because opportunity might be what’s
Knock Knock Knocking at your door
Door

"You can be what you want to be
Let your soul and your body and your mind be free
You can follow me into the light
You can go where you want to go
But don’t let yourself be carried by the undertow
You can do whatever feels alright
Tonight”
I’ve been blinded by the truth
You lie because I need you to
What can I do?
Time has drained away my youth
I’m dying here in front of you
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
“Happiness is a state of mind
Better get into the groove or you’ll be left behind
Follow me and I will make you whole
Have the courage to embrace the change
Take the pieces of the past and start to rearrange
Fill you lungs with oxygen and hold
Control"

yearning for life
but nothing satisfies
looking down is oh so nice
twinkling sounds and flashing lights
time
time goes
so slow
time
time
goes so slow
Hermes' cart
Scrolls east to west
I'm looking down
I'm looking down
A list of things
I haven't done yet
I'm looking down
I'm looking down
a buzz in class
conversations pass
walking home through the leaves
dodging perilous machines
Hermes' cart
Scrolls east to west
I'm looking down
I'm looking down
A list of things
I haven't done yet
I'm looking down
I'm looking down
The lights turn off
Staring back from the screen
All the time I lost
The opportunities
A whole day's waste
Neglected plans
Would one more taste
Be all that bad?

Jim Willard was a hoarder you should have seen his home
Boxes and shelves full of junk, to feed his Diogenes Syndrome
His wife had threatened to leave him if he didn't throw it all away
And she certainly didn't believe him, when he said:
"It'll come in handy one day!"
It'll come in handy one day!
It'll come in handy one day!
I know you think it's rubbish
But it'll come in handy one day!
There were boxes full of cables and tools he had never used
Transformers for appliances whose circuits had long ago fused
An inflatable shim he needed once to hold a new door in place
And after his last operation he'd even kept his old neck brace
CHORUS
One day as Jim was glancing through a pile of old magazines
There came a mighty bang outside and the sound of people's screams
An ambulance, overtaking, had collided with a truck
And the poor desperate soul inside was now surely out of luck
The crash had broken several things which kept the patient alive
And given the driver whiplash, it would be time before help arrived
Jim ran out of his door at once, like he'd overdosed on caffeine
His brain working at fever pitch as he quickly took in the scene
The bulb on the bag valve had burst, a cable had been ripped in two
Transformers smashed to pieces, well he knew what he could do
The paramedic was unconscious, he'd hit the wall with a jolt
Jim ran in for some cables and a battery of 18 volts
He put the driver in his old neck brace
the shim helped the patient breathe
Cables got everything working, Jim had given them all a reprieve
He was hailed as a local hero, the toast of his neighbourhood
"See my scrap has come in handy!"
He said: "I told you, dear, that it would!"
It came in handy one day
It came in handy one day
I know you thought it was rubbish
But it came in handy that day!

Since I was a child
Death always scared me
Twelve summers had passed
When my father left me
A cavalier’s blade
Plunged straight through his chest
And I knew right from then
Trade anything for my death
I beseeched the Lord
When consumption took my mother
My entreaty ignored
My prayers turned to another
That sulphuric smell
Pervaded the room
The candles snuffed out
When he appeared from the gloom
His feline features
His serpentine tongue
I recoiled with fear
Nowhere to run
He offered me life
Of the never-ending kind
Pricked my finger with a knife
Produced a contract to sign
He proffered a goblet
A drink to seal the deal
As soon as my lips were wet
My head began to reel
I slumped to the floor
In a catatonic state
No muscle could I move
Though fully awake
Days passed by and I was missed from town
My neighbours came and broke the door down
They found me alone for the devil had fled
When they saw my eyes open they took me for dead
They buried me deep below the ground
I tried to scream but could produce no sound
Now I'm trapped in this box but the devil didn't lie
Down here in the dark I will never die

Why is it such a struggle
To make a thing of beauty?
It's easy to make something meaningless
Ugly and meaningless
Is it just me
Faulty wiring
I don't think so
All I know is
I'm screwing up this opportunity
You're sitting in your room
I'm trying to make connection
I'm singing from your yard
Hoping for some affection
Oo oo oo oo oo
You got your headphones on
Watching monkey videos again
Oo oo oo oo oo
You got your headphones on
Watching monkey videos
Next day you're at your office
You had some kind of meeting
It's easy to get past security - they're
Ugly and meaningless
Is it just me
Faulty wiring
I don't think so
All I know is
I'm screwing up this opportunity
You're walking to your seat
I'm trying to make connection
I'm singing loud and sweet
Hoping for some affection
Oo oo oo oo oo
You got your headphones on
Watching monkey videos again
Oo oo oo oo oo
You got your headphones on
Watching monkey videos

Yeslessness - My Secret

When I go walking outside
And see your open door
I slip inside and look around
and open every drawer
No I don't break and enter
I'm not a force majeure
But if you leave a window wide
I can't resist at all
Someone else would try to control themselves
Someone else would try to control themselves
Someone else would try to control themselves
Someone else would try to control them
No I won't steal a matchstick
I just want to know more
I want to know what soap you use
and what you use it for
I check the kitchen cabinets
I tread your bedroom floor
And when I hear your car return
I finish up my tour
Someone else would try to control themselves
Someone else would try to control themselves
Someone else would try to control themselves
Someone else would try to control them
But if there were NO CONSEQUENCES AT ALL
What would be the harm in that?
Don't say that
Don't say that
Someone else would try to control themselves
Someone else, someone else
Someone else would try to control themselves
Someone else, someone else

Overture
Opportunity, such a scandalous tease
Promise you the world
Then brings you to your knees
A tantalizing mistress
Impossible to please
You want to hold her but she
Drifts away on the breeze
Verse
It looked like an easy score
To get me in the door
No sweat, just do it
I let some time go by
'til I got around to high and dry
That's how I blew it
Didn't seize the day
Or what came my way
I never used it
Wouldn't a taken too much time
But I failed to drop a dime
I refused it
Yeah I abused it
Chorus
Grab your chances don't give up
That's opportunity knockin'
Take the risk, call your shot
You can get the house a rockin'
Opportunity don't come by here
Each and every day
Recognize it, claim your prize
Don't (ever) let it slip away
Vs
Should've felt the heat and
Got up off my seat
I could've scored it
Instead I kicked back and
Didn't keep track
In fact I ignored it
Next chance came along
Didn't dare to do it wrong
So I took it
I learned from the past
Opportunities never last
Hey man, ya gotta book it
[Ch]
Outro
Give it all you got
Or you gonna pay
If you want to make it happen
Better do it today
Don't be a fool
Don't be a s ucka

Now
Is the moment
I’ve been waiting for
You’ve been waiting for
Now
Is the day that
We tear down to the floor
The structures we abhor
Our neighbors to the east and to the west
Will never know what hit them
but they’ll know we’re the best
I think it’s time for a snowball fight
I know it’s time for a snowball fight
Kids on the block you know what’s right
You know it’s time for a snowball fight
I think it’s time for a snowball fight
I know it’s time for a snowball fight
Kids on the block you know what’s right
You know it’s time for a snowball fight
Here
Is the hill that
We will fight upon
And I will die upon
Here
Is the street where
The battle lines are drawn
And our time has come
Spheres of frozen crystal ammo line the fort
Where we shall be victorious and our enemies cut short
I think it’s time for a snowball fight
I know it’s time for a snowball fight
Kids on the block you know what’s right
You know it’s time for a snowball fight
I think it’s time for a snowball fight
I know it’s time for a snowball fight
Kids on the block you know what’s right
You know it’s time for a snowball fight

Spring pools deep in the trees
Where sweet Molly calls to me
I closed the door when I heard
One more dream I’ll defer
Till I got the time to love her
Don’t flowers bloom endlessly?
Oh no
Whoa-oh no
Janus lies
He got four eyes to see nothing
How could I see
Janus lies, Janus lies
Janus your eyes on yesterday
Janus your eyes on tomorrow
You told me you see everything
But chance stood naked before me
And I stood cold stupid and blind
Icicles hang from the trees
Where the leaves used to be
I felt nothing but the cold
Tiny bells rang from the north
Her confused and lonesome horse
Carried Molly away from me
Oh no
Whoa-oh no
Janus lies
He got four eyes to see nothing
How could I see
Janus lies, Janus lies
Janus lies
He got four eyes to see nothing
How could I see
Janus lies, Janus lies
I said, how could I see
Janus lies, Janus lies

leave the sea and travel to a distant land
Where the wind blows dust instead of Sand
we’ll leave all your things behind
I see you’re Buddhist so you won’t mind
Give everything you have away for free
or sell it for a 1/4 of the price to me
no, no you are not a refugee
We’re the FBI, there’s no transport fee
put the phone down, end that call
we’ve got a train ready, just for you all
Ma’am, when you go into labor, no need to
hide in the basement of your neighbor
Its so great we’ll find you for this
it’s just too good, not something to miss
I suggest you sign your deeds to a friend
you’ll get ‘em back when the war ends
In the meantime enjoy our housing plan
no need for that old car, you understand
It’s a camp, and you’ll be camping
drink lots water to prevent cramping
oh yes don’t worry, water there is easy to find
that altitude sun won’t make you blind
you’ll enjoy how the weather changes
behind barbed wire in the desert mountain ranges
one big building together
no need for thanks, it’s our pleasure
There’s knocking at the door
There’s knocking at the door
DPS, we’ll take you North 36 hours on land
reunited with your kids, isn’t this grand?
no walking in the heat to avoid surrender
no need to be stuck in the detention center
all aboard, to NYC, get on this bus
there will be jobs up there I promise
that’s why you came over here right?
still, it’s better to leave by the cover of night
you’re doing us a favor, to keep the camp clear
wouldn’t wanna trouble you by keeping you here
photos will mark the moment you arrive
totally welcome there, you will surely thrive
Their mayor is looking forward to meeting you
He’ll smile and find a place for you
they’ll put you up in hotels of great renown
you’ll be staying way downtown
her torch welcoming the weary and wary
see her on the Staten Island Ferry
to a place where you will be welcome
to a place far from where you just came from
one big building together
no need for thanks, it’s our pleasure
There’s knocking at the door
There’s knocking at the door
Hey! voter alliance going door to door
we’ve got connections, we’re fixing the score
carving and gerrymandering your streets
so our side will not suffer any defeats
Vote for him, he’ll do such great things
In our land where freedom rings
So I’m dropping off leaflets, canvasing your block
Smiling and shaking hands with double talk
you can trust my cheerful face
sure, sure no problem here with race
we would really like your vote
wait one second, are you fresh of the boat?
you better not mail in the ballot
we better not make your vote count
if it’s not for us, our reach is broad
guilty or not we’ll report you for fraud
removal from the voter rolls, we’ll bring charges
so until next Tuesday hide in your garages
We’ve called them, they know the way
Better stay right there until next Wednesday
one big building together
no need for thanks, it’s our pleasure
There’s knocking at the door
There’s knocking at the door

V1
The plans were carved in stone
Long before I was born
The big star in their dreams
A face they’d never seen
V2
Roles were played convincingly
For everyone to see
Money covered the trees
With every opportunity
Chorus
What is a choice
What is a gift
And whose life should I live
Is the choice worth the cost
Is this the life I want
V3
Too young to make a fuss
I played my role well enough
A future written in the stars
Everyone knew I’d go far
V4
I finally opened my eyes
What I saw was a big surprise
A house made of cards
Pull one out and everyone falls
Chorus
What is a choice
What is a gift
And whose life should I live
Is the choice worth the cost
Is this the life I want
Bridge
Then one day
I understood
This wasn’t my dream
This didn’t feel good
It was hard to walk away
But it scared me more to stay
So I chose my own way
Chorus
What is a choice
What is a gift
And whose life should I live
Is the choice worth the cost
Is this the life I want
I think I’ll go my own way
So watch me go my own way

Ominous Ride - The Deal
04:16

|

Feel that longing inside you
Feel your dreams are behind you
Now you’d give anything just to fill that hole
Even your own soul
As you’re searching for answers
Psychological cancers
Every doubt casting signals down below
And now he knows
He can make any dream come true
See your every desire through
Who’s to say that it’s too good to be true?
You might have faith
But you ought to know
When opportunity knocks
You better bolt the door
Because he knows just what you want to hear
Slowly washing away the fear
And then he’ll make you a deal
That you can’t refuse
Cuz if you don’t have a soul
You got nothing to lose
A life of riches unreal
But only if you make the deal
Now you’re weighing your options
No longer shackled by caution
All it takes is a taste of heaven, oh!
The weakness grows…
You can do anything you please
Strife and suffering on their knees
Who’s to say that I don’t deserve this peace
You might have faith
But you ought to know
When opportunity knocks
You better lock the door
Because he has eternity up in his sleeve
And if you let him inside
You will believe
A handshake and a smile is enough
And a silver tongue that will make you trust that
He can make any dream come true
See your every desire through
What’s the difference if after you own the world
The devil owns you?
I keep telling myself to question the path
To unholy bliss
Is it a ring I should kiss
You might have faith
But you ought to know
When opportunity knocks
You better bolt the door
Because he knows just what you want to hear
Now he’s whispering in your ear
And then he’ll make you a deal
That you can’t refuse
Cuz if you don’t have a soul
You got nothing to lose
The opportunity sealed
But only if you make the deal

BOTH
Love
HIM
You were warned
Dying, the moment you’re born
A party of one
Cast aside, crushed and shunned
My heart’s been ripped out and rent
Why try amends?
Love always ends
Hurt
Only so much you can take
Curse
The fickleness of fate
Go and cry in your beer 'cos you’re not wanted here
You’re on your own
Again
I can’t take a chance
For one more failed romance
Will be the death of me yet
Don’t place this bet
Love’s no duet
Hurt
An all-consuming ache
Heart
Inevitable break
Go and cry to your friends you’ve been cheated again
You’re all alone
“The end”
HER
Silly boy
Why embrace every case of the blues?
Pick yourself up and dust off your shoes
Happiness is yours to choose
This is no time to stop
Opportunity knocks
Spin the bottle and maybe you’ll win
Now and then
Love can transcend
Just fall in

He said,
"Step in to my car, little girl
I can take you far, little girl
You're gonna be a star..."
He had a contract and a pen;
I thought, I won't be here again.
I read the words on the page;
I flew into a rage,
and I destroyed him there and then.
It was the chance of my life in the shadow of the moon.
It was the edge of a knife on a sunny afternoon.
She said,
"I can show you beautiful things,
dress you up in furs, diamond rings,
Jimmy Choos and Dior."
And she had tickets to Berlin;
she had champagne and sweet, sweet sin.
— She had a girl on the side —
No taking me for a ride!
I left her shaking in her skin.
It was the chance of my life in the shadow of the moon.
It was the edge of a knife on a sunny afternoon.
I say when opportunity knocks,
No matter what for —
Have a gun in your hand when you answer the door.
They said,
"It's the job you know that you need.
Don't you have a craving to feed?
We can get you more..."
It was the chance of my life in the shadow of the moon.
It was the edge of a knife on a sunny afternoon.

Life's the hand you're dealt.
Well, how you play is something else.
Go and play your hand.
Go and get it while you can.
Kings and Queens
Twos and Threes
You go and draw that Ace
Set a winner's pace
Life's the hand you're dealt.
How you play is something else.
Sit and deal them up.
You can't win if you hang em up.

Oh, I couldn’t do that!
You know that girl who you love?
The wondrous woman you adore?
The one who’s there when you close your eyes?
The one you would die for?
She sitting there telling you,
That you are so fucking cute;
More than that you’re beautiful,
And how she’d like to kiss you too!
She’s standing there telling you!
Her eyes are begging—that’s your cue—
Her anxious longing’s in plain view!
But you haven’t got a fucking clue!
No, you
Don’t even register her
Earnest attempts
To bed you, let you rest your head
Against her breast,
And yet
You, given half the chance,
If you could—
If you just mustered the courage to ask—
Would gladly bask in her warmth.
It’s sad how
You just can’t see
The opportunity to live simply, happily,
Forever and always—
All the ways your crazed heart
Begs for, aches for—
It’s right there at your door
I’m sure the thought has crossed your mind,
Though you’re sure it’s not crossed hers,
How it’d feel with your fingers entwined—
How her name would sound by yours
She’s thinking all the same things—
Thinking this girl make her heart sing—
And all the joy that you would bring,
And hoping that you’re noticing
Her endeavors, her efforts,
No guile, no wiles,
Just smiles to rile;
Meanwhile your trial’s
To read the signs,
To pay her mind,
And just see the fucking light!
But no, you
Believe in the doubt in your head
That says you’re just friends—
Best friends and nothing else.
The rest’s just
A dream, scenes
Best left to fantasy,
And you’re reeling from the pain of the real
You feel, and steel yourself against the
Pain. Fear fetters you more than a chain, so
Suspend the means to your end,
And rend your hopes
And play pretend,
That this will suffice. Isn’t it nice
Enough to have her in your life,
Even if never to be a wife?
I dreamed about you last night;
I’ve been thinkin’ about it ever since!
Do you mean it?
I mean it!
You sit there, and you fidget,
And you worry she might not be gay,
But you should be focused instead
On the things that she says:
The letters that she writes,
How she stays up at night,
How not a single fucking man has ever felt right,
Unlike you!
It’s so plain to see—open your eyes! What’s wrong?
Your hearts beat as one. Bar none, she’s the one;
She’s your sun.
She’s the one that gives you life!
Now, reach out you useless sapphic
And take what is yours by right!
Made up my mind it was time I found someone to do a little worrying about me!
Life’s like a ballgame; you gotta take a swing at whatever comes along, before you wake up and find it’s the ninth inning.

once in a blue moon
star could go kaboom
another sun up in the sky
right in front of you
Betelgeuse could go soon, could we see a star explode?
could happen now or later, could we see a supernova?
let me study you and all your beauty for a while
n' let me look at you in all your beauty for the view and for the vibe.
I wanna stare at you for hours at a time.
maybe understand what makes you brighter than the sun up in the sky.
before it disappears and vanishes like it never was here.
before it goes away forever never to be seen again.
we should make sure that we know the reason why its here.
we should make sure that we don’t run out of time again.
slowly disappearing from the sky as we speak
watch the time go by and try to learn what makes you bright
dimming slowly past the point beyond what we can see
before it goes away completely and now its gone...
one less star in the sky...
sky darker than before...
one star gone forever...
never to be seen again
never to be seen again
never to be seen again

Weeping stone and iron links,
Hungry lies the captive Sphinx.
Through the ages doth she brood,
You dear morsel are her food.
There are some who call me fool,
I would think it zeal.
What I'd give to see just once,
Magic that is real.
I can tell a common hole,
from my waiting grave.
Think of Bilbo and his ring,
this is just a cave.
Sphinxes are a fickle kind,
Acid tongue and sharpened mind.
Bow your head and state your name,
if you dare to play her game.
This old cave is just my means,
Not here lies the end.
Sure as Smullyan's vaunted Knights,
I shall make a friend.
Bane of demon, witch, and elf,
Knows thou greater than thyself.
Should you give her answers true,
She shalt do the same for you.

Menage a Tune - Push It!

A box came to my door today, though I didn’t know who from
A red button on top of brown wood, under a clear plastic dome
Next day a man came to give me the key
To the dome and he told me the deal
If I push the button I get 20 G’s….
But somebody will die
Man. This CAN’T be real
Chorus
Just push the button and your life will change
A great opportunity though it seems strange
Just press the button, the cash will be here
There’s no need to worry or fear
So now I sit here and stare at the box
Chain smoking these cancer sticks
I need that money, but if that part if true
What if somebody dies?
Perhaps it’s just some old drunk in the street
Or some rich guy who I never met
I mean, would it matter? 20 thou is a lot
Don’t even know the guy
And I’d be out of debt
Just think of all I’d get
Just push the button and your life will change
A great opportunity though it seems strange
Just press the button, the cash will be here
There’s no need to worry or fear
>Sound of a button being pushed, CLICK!<
You pushed the button! Now your life will change
Time for a new person to get the same deal
Yes you pressed the button, the cash is right here
There’s no need to worry or fear
Who gets the chance next? Oh it’s no one you know…
It’s only some stranger that you’ve never met
Perhaps he’s in need of a sudden cash flow
To help get him out of his debt
But you pressed the button, your cash is right here
There’s no need to worry or fear
Yes you pressed the button, your cash is right here
There’s no need to worry or fear
There’s no need to worry or fear

(Let's shuffle up and deal!)
My man's a seven card stud, at the table all day
He gonna get that paper, you know he's gonna get paid, yeah.
His daddy's always said can't win if you don't play
Momma always said you might win if you pray
Waiting for the river, gonna hit that hand
And if you miss it this time, shuffle up again, yeah.
Man's a seven card stud
Man's a seven card stud
Gonna get the suckers, they won't know till it hits
And if those guys go busto, my man won't give a shit
Playin for a bracelet, Playing for the cash
If he hits it big time, he promises it 's his last, yeah
(Let's shuffle up and deal!)
Tough day at the tables, cards are running cold
My man knows at this rate he'll be broke before he's old
Dealer change the setup, you're messing with my luck
And if you guys don't like it, I'll tell you what to suck. Alright.
Someday I'll hit the big one, make a winning hand
Until then I 've nothing but the Devil and this plan
They say that lucks for losers, on that we can agree
But till I get that paper, it's just the cards and me, alright.
I'm just a seven card stud,
yeah.

I bought a vintage Gibson:
Fifty eight or nine.
'Cause I'm a fine musician
And I wanna shine.
I gave it an audition,
But the sound, it was a crime!
- CHORUS -
Opportunity knocks but once,
But knocks come twice and again.
This gives me the awful hunch:
They'll keep knockin' us 'til the end
I knew a pretty little girl
I knew her well, I swore
I went to see my Cindy.
She met me at the door.
I thought I had a chance with her,
Now she won't see me no more.
- CHORUS -
- BREAK -
- BRIDGE -
Opportunity: Some times yer hot!
Opportunity: Most times yer not!
I's play'n' a game of craps one night.
Six was my point to make.
The pot was huge; the time was right.
I gave the dice a shake.
I rolled that six but to my surprise,
There was a huge earthquake!
- CHORUS -
