Time Out

Black suits and the night’s closing in
Those people must be at it again
Crack of pain, then a slip of fate
Feel the falling but it’s never too late
Now it’s nineteen forty seven
Don’t wanna take a trip up to heaven
Chased out by ghosts with a noose
Now fear is running on the loose
Die for your hate
Vie for your fate
Cry now Billy its way too late (x4)
Your next stop is Vietnam
Fragged by a friend, forgot by your mom
Wake up to the heil brigade
Get in line for the death parade
Now it’s nineteen eighty seven
The volume’s turned up to eleven
Wipe away your tears, don’t you cry
Lift up your hand and wave goodbye
There’s no redemption (x3)

Kick The Can

Wake up and see
The youth that slipped away
Never know what’s left because today might be the day
Wake up and see
The worlds been turned to dust
There’s no hope left and all your memories start to rust
Kick the can
Kick the bucket
Don’t give in
Don’t give up inside
Don’t let go til it’s time to die
Wake up and see
The youth returned today
Now all the good and bad converge to have their say
Wake up and see
Maybe this was all a dream
But now the sirens in the distance start to scream

Night Call
02:17
|

I can make your phone ring, but I can’t make your bed
Flash of hate and suddenly I just lose my head
No caller ID’s gonna tell you where I’m at
I’m in your heart, in your head
I’m in the ground, but I’m not dead
Just talk to me
Tell me what you wanna know
Just wait and see
How I can wreck your show
Now through the static comes my voice
Don’t have to give you freedom of choice
Came just to love, not to destroy
Now let’s talk before they kill this boy
Just talk to me
Tell me what you wanna know
Just talk to me
I will never let you go
Just talk to me
Tell me what you wanna know
Just wait and see
How I can wreck your show
Talk to me and you will see
Straight through the grassy knoll
Just talk to me

In His Image
02:20
|

Longer than you’ve ever seen
An average man, an average dream
Waking up but not to scream
Can’t understand the noise
Nothing looks the same to him
He’s taking life on just a whim
The water gets too deep to swim
Reduced to just a toy
Creating life in your own image
Distracts from the harsh reality
The real solution’s trying harder
To find a better way to be
Now he’s face down in the plan
Neck deep ostrich in the sand
Egg it on the final ham
Flaming out today
Stronger than that muscle beach
The lesson that he tries to teach
Playing god as such a leech
Nothing left to say
Creating life in your own image
Distracts from the harsh reality
The real solution’s trying harder
To find a better way to be

A Nice Place To Visit
01:56

Welcome home
Don’t ask a lot of questions
I ain’t got no answers
I’m just as lost and scared as you
Yeah, just like Tony Soprano
Yeah, just like Donald Trump
Don’t mess with Rocky Valentine
Or you might just catch a lump
Dolls and dice
Served on a silver platter
What did you do?
To deserve this slice of heaven
Just gimme a clue
Yeah, just like Tony Soprano
Yeah, just like Donald Trump
Don’t mess with Rocky Valentine
Or you might just catch a lump
Don’t need a reservation
For this old hell hotel
Rocky’s got the edge on violence
It always suits him well
Better not mess with Rocky
Yeah better not mess with Rocky
Don’t step inside his hell hotel

Time Enough At Last
03:22

Once upon a time with no evil nor crime
Henry Bemis works there in the bank
Locked up in the vault it never was his fault
But he didn’t know who or what to thank
Solitude versus loneliness
Is the battle often waged
By those who can’t decide to live
Or sneak off to the grave
Solitude versus loneliness (x2)
Once upon a time he thought it was a sign
Henry Bemis saw the clock face sitting bare
Alone now with his books, his glasses slippery hooks
Have left him shouting vainly, it’s not fair!
Solitude versus loneliness
Is the battle often waged
By those who can’t decide to live
Or sneak off to the grave
Solitude versus loneliness (x4)
Solitude…..loneliness
Pull the trigger, or turn the page
Solitude versus loneliness

Epilogue
02:54
|

When the ship takes to its sinking
And there’s no strength left to swim
The lifeboats look inviting
But that was not the place for him
With misery in the ratings
And the money all run dry
He turned around to walk away
Too tough or dumb to cry
Vast as space and timeless as infinity
Walk the line between here and insanity
Sight and sound and mind and matter meld
There’s no time left for him left to atone
Yeah he’s gone
Gone to the twilight zone (x4)
When the ship takes to its sinking
And there’s no strength left to swim
The lifeboats look inviting
But that was not the place for him
Vast as space and timeless as infinity
Walk the line between here and insanity
Sight and sound and mind and matter meld
There’s no time left for him left to atone
Yeah he’s gone
Gone to the twilight zone (x4)
