Guess I’ll just fall down now
Who says you can’t take it with you
Go for the hill
Play on the steps
Hey you, with the face
Not an ordinary day
Not an ordinary place
Hey you with the face
Three and three accomplished
Then I was on the case
My God, she’s alive
Who’s got a light; I’ve got a flashlight
It’s not tragic; You’ve got Merlin magic
I’m not happy with you right now
Ride the train
Hop on the train
Ride the train
Hop on the train
Ride the Cyclone
Ride the Ferris wheel
Ride the train
Hop on the train
Hey you, with the face
Not an ordinary day
Not an ordinary place
Hey you with the face
The theater awaits
My life was dull
My life was drab
Till I acquired the gift of gab
Welcome to my home
You are safe with me
Welcome to my home
You are safe with me
Me Got You
No matter where you go
There you are
Focus

It’s a fine day
With you around
Sippin alto wine
Stole a sweet roll
Mara hanging on my chain
Paarthurnax spinning firewax
I got curved swords
Curved swords
FUS RO DAH
MID VUR SHAAN
Said Lydia ‘My thane
So good you’re here again
Most righteous of the Nord
I am your shield and sword
From Markarth to the Rift
Your burdens I will lift
As brief as life can be
You’ll get the best of me’
FO KRAH DIIN
HUN KAAL ZOOR
FEIM ZII GRON

Caipirinha

Did you forget to take your meds
Did you remember where you left your earing
And when they came I claimed your sins
They never got me for the thing I really did
And when the moon’s almost full
Almost just like Rio
With that bluegreen dress
In the plaza by the hotel
Laughed like we laughed when we meant it
Cause we meant it
Rack of lamb and a caipirinha
Someday baby
We won’t worry like this no more
Someday baby
We won’t worry
Anymore
It seems I never ever get a chance to speak
Gonna kick it up and get enhanced like at shark week
North Side resida better known as me
It’s the Gentleman of Leise so fresh and supreme and I
Keep it obscene for the distance, man
It’s all just part of my business plan
Via la resistance ,man
Look up and look down
For the part of me that feels consistent now
It goes 1, 2, 1, 2, 3
A suspect possessed put a hex on me
I got jaded, faded somewhat nefarious
A Danylo track, it’s got to me hilarious
Like Carlin, Rock, Hicks running the mouth
Got more guitar licks than ticks in the South
They say can’t nobody hold me down
Caipirinha in my cup and then I pass it around
Someday baby
We won’t worry like this no more
Someday baby
We won’t worry
Anymore
Names change but the party goes on
Names change but the party goes on
Dayna gets me high then she leaves
Rack of lamb and a caipirinha
Someday baby
We won’t worry like - no more
Someday baby
We won’t worry
Anymore

Let’s go dahn to the Point
Let’s go dahn for the day
Goin dahn the Pittsburgh
Festival of Art and Rain
Meet me at the corner of Stanwix
By the subway that goes seven blocks
Under the Allegheny but over the Mon
Guess it seemed a good idea at the time
Maybe this is the year
The year I buy some art
Hang it on the wall
Remember today
Every time I look at that wall
Let’s go dahn to the Point
Let’s go dahn for the day
Goin dahn the Pittsburgh
Festival of Art and Rain
Paid eight bucks for a gyro
Nobody was selling none for five
Next year I’ll bring a cooler
Next year I’ll bring a chair
I say that every year
Gonna kick off my shoes
Gonna walk in the grass
Gonna stand in the fountain and get cool
I will not go in the river
No one should go in the river
But the fountain, it’s a fountain, so that’s cool.
Let’s go dahn to the Point
Let’s go dahn for the day
Goin dahn the Pittsburgh
Festival of Art and Rain
Sometimes I sit in my apartment
And I think I’d like to live in a house
Home sweet home
With my wife and my cats and my kids
And a reasonable mortgage
But used houses are too expensive
Sticker price eight years salary
Inflation they say it’s why you gots to pay
So the banks can own the folks like me
After World War II your house cost seven grand new
You paid 45 in ’83.
Well, you put down ten percent
And some back chipped in the rest
Now you’re paying them with interest
And occasional late fees
Cause you don’t own your house
The bank really owns your house
You could not afford it then
45 in ‘83
But you’d really like to get 195
Drive a new car off the lot
It’s worth less instantly
Depreciation’s why you can’t get 65
For your ’94 Mitsubishi
But used houses- that’s different
They’re worth more and more every day
So says the banks
The banks that own the house
And the folks in the house who never saved
After World War II your house cost seven grand new
You paid 45 in ’83.
And you’d really like to get 195
So you’re listing it for 223
Used houses are too expensive
Used houses are artificially rigged
Used houses screwed up the economy
Screwed an entire generation of your kids
Let’s go dahn to the Point
Let’s go dahn for the day
Goin dahn the Pittsburgh
Festival of Art and Rain
Let’s go dahn to the Point
Let’s go dahn for the day
Goin dahn Three Rivers
Festival of Art

Since you never asked I can’t tell you
Since you never cared I don’t care
Situation got the best of me
I’m so happy when you’re not there
Got you wrapped up running round in circles
Never knowing what you’re gonna find
Figure out how you should leave
Sorta thing happens all the time
It’s out of my hands
You’re on your own
It’s alright
Just wish you could’ve seen it my way
It’s out of my hands
You’re on your own
It’s alright
Just wish you could’ve seen it my way
Didn’t want to stay
Got you wrapped up in your own confusion
Left thinking that you took it too far
I’m concocting up a new solution
Come on back, tell me where you are
It’s out of my hands
You’re on your own
It’s alright
Just wish you could’ve seen it my way
It’s out of my hands
You’re on your own
It’s alright
Just wish you could’ve seen it my way
Didn’t want to stay

Coda

Been out in the sun too long
Got an arm hiding up my sleeve
Recognize the presence and the coda
Can’t call it a comeback if you don’t leave
We’re barely going through the motions
Nearsighted far as I can see
Till the coast slips back into the ocean
Guess I’ll stand here
If you’re next to me
