Bottom Of The Ocean

On the ocean
A ship sailing so true
On a mission
From the city
The kind we never knew
Have they come to take us there
In the distance I hear thunder
The planes come roaring by
The ship has come to take us
Cause if we stay we'll die
5 years of hell and then
10 years at the bottom of the ocean
This never ending horror story
Dropped in from the other side
To tell you that we'd all died
But you said that you were sorry
Through the ocean
The ship sailing on back
With ten thousand people from our towns borders
Raising flags
And preparing for the coming attack
Wondering who gave the orders
Oh in a cabin in the depths
A hatch had broken
The water came rushing in
And the people who did it
Never spoken
Of what made them commit that sin
5 years of hell and then
10 years at the bottom of the ocean
This never ending horror story
Dropped in from the other side
To tell you that we'd all died
But you said that you were sorry
You were sorry

Secrets

You were the only one who saw me standing there
Beneath the dust and the echoes of a past long gone
And a path that leads nowhere
How did you tell that I was lost and out of time
I don't remember what you said but oh my god that line was right
I was a lonely soul you knew I wouldn't fight
And now the thoughts of you still haunt me late at night
How did it take so long for me to see
That the stars had all gone out on me
Why didn't you come around a little sooner
You stole my heart and now I'm ooohhh
Conversations that are etched upon my mind
Anticipation oh my darling I'm afraid what I might find
You, you got me under your spell
I want to know baby oh baby oh what secrets do you tell
I was a quiet heart you knew I wouldn't fight
And now the thoughts of you still keep me up at night
How did it take so long for me to see
That the stars had all gone out on me
Why didn't you come around a little sooner
You stole my heart and now I'm ooohhh
How did it take so long for me to see
That the stars had all gone out on me
Why didn't you come around a little sooner
You stole my heart and now I'm ooohhh

Shining Lights

I woke up this morning with a feeling in my heart,
Just had to get the hell out of here
The car shining in the early morning light
Was this recklessness or is this just fear
I floored it out of this dead end city
Had to know if I had more of a chance outside my box
Got caught up on an empty highway
It's Hard to look back at the past
Do you remember the shining lights at night
Nobody could take that from us
We were young but we made it through alright
All we needed to trust
The mountains shimmering, heat rained on my jacket
I took a stop on the road to catch my breath
Maybe running is not what life's about
I looked back to the past
Do you remember the shining lights at night
Nobody could take that from us
We were young but we made it through alright
All we needed to trust
Do you remember the shining lights at night
Nobody could take that from us
We were young but we made it through alright
All we needed to trust

Who gives a fuck what I think
I don't really understand what I'm going through
I'm scratching my head looking at this paper
Oh what am I going to say
It doesn't matter anyway
I've written it a million times before and scrapped it
I was sure if anyone heard this and I mean anyone they're probably one best friends
There's not enough of those going round these days but I'm happy I've got mine
We're talking all the time
Oh the drums they won't quit
Beating my head in
Oh the people they won't stop
As the unrest sets in
Oh the drums they march on
Until the day is won
Oh they people won't stop
Who gives a fuck what I think
I don't really understand what I'm going through
I'm scratching my head looking at this paper
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
Oh the drums they won't quit
Beating my head in
Oh the people they won't stop
As the unrest sets in
Oh the drums they march on
Until the day is won
Oh they people won't stand by
And hope this all blows over

James Dean

We floored it around the bend
8 cylinders working just as hard as they can
Oh and we thought that's the end
All of our equipment flying through the air of the van
Put holes in a sinking ship
It tried to keep going but it never made land
And the young kids, they thought we were hip
But really we were nothing more than a band
5 rounds in your magazine
You live life fast cause you love James Dean
And all the pretty girls at the dance are looking at you
With your coat and your checkered shoes
You work too hard cause you hate to loose
And there's something always missing that you don't know
The boat came around the bay
The letter inside said I had to go away
But the people I already knew here wanted me to stay
But the bombs come raining down
And the people I knew all had to leave town
And the ship captain said that we were all already dead and gone
5 rounds in your magazine
You live life fast cause you love James Dean
And all the pretty girls at the bar are looking at you
You got your hair and your checkered shoes
You work too hard cause you hate to loose
But there's something always missing that you don't know
Shaved your head when you were just 19
You wanted to be nice but they forced you to be mean
And the pretty girls at the bar are still staring at you
Your dad always plays the blues
You live in your own head so that you'll never hear the news
That the city was destroyed so long ago
You know it's true
4 rounds in your magazine
You lived life fast cause you loved James Dean
And all the pretty girls at the bar are no longer starin at you
Had your hair and your checkered shoes
You worked too hard but you're forced to loose
And there's something always missing you know it's true

You pass her in the hallway
You know you're not the only one in her eyes
You want to do it your way
But she don't wanna compromise
And she's got all these pretty girls on her arm
What will you do
And none of them will understand
Oh do you understand no no no
Ohhhh
Clara
Keep rocking through the night
Clara
Keep chasing down the fights and
Clara they'll keep knocking
But they don't know
Clara
Still rocking through the night
Clara
Still looking for thefight
Clara they'll keep chasing
But they're too slow
The lights are in your eyes now
You're body's moving double time
The floor's come alive now
And she's watching your head unwind
The beat is pounding itself into your brain
The cars keep moving faster in your way
And you just can't stop staring
And you just can't stop staring
Ohhhh
Clara
Keep rocking through the night
Clara
Keep chasing down the fights and
Clara they'll keep calling
But they don't know
Clara
Still rocking through the night
Clara
Still keeping up the fight
Clara they'll keep chasing
But they're too slow
Clara
Keep rocking through the night
Clara
Keep chasing down the fights and
Clara they'll keep calling
But they don't know
Clara
Still rocking through the night
Clara
Still looking for the fights and
Clara they'll keep chasing
But they're too slow

I sit at home watching out the window
Waiting for someone I can't hold on to
She comes in flame in her eyes ready to fight for the cause
Caught you driving away
On a Friday night
You told me you were going anywhere
I guess the urge to run had finally got to you
Oh it'll all turn out alright
On a hazy summer night
Ohh I don't want to go home after all that you said
You got me on my knees now baby you got yourself into my head
Ohhh I don't want to be lonely one more night
I'll find out what I need to do and I'll find out how to make it right
And I wanted to tell you I love you
But I don't understand the things that you do to me
Waiting for an answer
And shifting the battle lines
And I wait for the ocean
Beaten and battered
To take me to the city
But that's just a pipe dream
And I know it's not gonna last
It'll go down all right
On a hazy summers night
Ohh I don't want to go home after all that you said
You got me on my knees now baby you got yourself into my head
Ohhh I don't want to be lonely one more night
I'll find out what I need to do and I'll find out how to make it right
Ohh I don't want to go home after all that you said
You got me on my knees now baby you got yourself into my head
Ohhh I don't want to be lonely one more night
I'll find out what I need to do and I'll find out how to make it right

In a blaze of passion put the pedal to the floor
Just had to be somewhere but here
You saw me walking out the door
That recklessness had turned to fear
And you know
Life's not so great since you left home
And you know
That's not your fault
And you know
There's no one wondering if you're alone
And you know
Oh do you know
Emotions flying high and the car's stuck in overdrive
But it knows which way to go
Was I out to clear my head or run away from myself
As the sun goes down so so
And you know
There's no one coming around here no more
And you know
That's not your fault
And you know
There's no use running from here no more
And you know
Oh do you know
The city is on fire tonight,
The cars racing down dead end streets and
I'm coming home to make things right
While my head just tries to make ends meet
The light at the end of the tunnel is still far away
But I've got one more up my sleeve
If the summer days start to drift away,
Hope you have the strength to carry me
I race down the melting asphalt
The flames light up the sky ahead
The ruins of my future not my past still haunt me but that's OK
We'll make do with what we've got
The road ahead looks clear enough
And if we keep it up
We might turn out all right
