Lyrics:

Someday Robots (Bradford)

TV made the world flat again
so whose watching us fallling
right off the edge

Disease makes me
Afraid of dying
whose crying?
Keep trying right til the end

Because it burns a hole right through our souls
it burns cause we can't let go
What do we already know?

How did all those people find the answers
I swear they were written to the mold
How does everything seem to work together?
It's Karma or bad luck
that's what I've been told

Because it burns a hole right through our souls
it burns cause we won't let go
of what we already know

Someday robots will make us happy
Do you trust this?
this one wish-
ignorance is bliss

Someday people will see the folly
in civilization...
but I think it's too late!

 
Don't Panic (Bradford)

Please don't panic
as the world ends this afternoon
for no good reason
but our own damn selfishness
Life's not fair

Please sit quietly
you had your chance but now its gone
There's no use in crying
cause tears never changed a thing
and dry eyes are indifferent
cause the world didn't seem to be enough
for all those big winners
no, life's not fair

Please don't panic
your turn may never come
so what's the use in living
if this is what life has become
and then the last winter
has begun to show its face
and all those big winners
lose in the end

Please don't panic
as the world ends this afternoon
for no good reasons but our own?


Stranded on the Sidewalk (Bradford)

You don't need to enslave yourself to another
its not even a choice
That choice was made so long ago
and you ignore it like the voice of gods
and even with the mutiny of your head
they could not defeat you and your
sorry stubborn charm now that its who you are

So what's the use taking the granny lane down the boulevard,
when you can't afford to wake up every day
Dragon wagon's gonna get you at a quarter to five
whether you're dead or alive and sleeping
and even with the mutiny of your soul
they could not defeat you and your sorry stubborn pride
now that you've been denied
a chance to live a lie

So there you go again, you're still stuck in your head 
you're all out of grand ideas
but who's got all the answers anyway?
no one knows the way...
and how it really is

So you don't need to forgive yourself to another
when you're stranded on the sidewalk, bleeding
Just a broken wind jammer stuck in a tin can
but we all do what we can until
all our fantasies go dead
We may never realize we built our house on cards of lies
surprise!  We're out of time

So there you again, you're still stuck in your head
you're all out of grand ideas
but who's got all the answers anyway?
no one knows the way...
and how it really is


Last Breath (Bradford)

I'd like to take the day and stare out on the corner of my lawn
pretend like nothing's wrong and listen to the sweet summer song
I can't change, I can never change
It's just been too long

I'd like to take a day and try to forget everything I've done
but I'll hold my apologies and until I find out
exactly where I went wrong
It can change?  No, It could never change
Its just been too long

So take these last words
the very last words I'll say to you
this is the last time,
the very last time I'll be here for you,
cause she don't mind If I don't say a thing
she don't mind If I don't think a thing

I'd like to take a day and try to remember all of my friends
I'll write so many letters trying to find a beginning to my end
cause I can change, I can really change
or has it just been too long

So take this last breath,
the very last breath I breath into you
This is the last time,
the very last time
I speak to you
cause she don't mind if I don't say a thing
she don't mind if I don't think a thing

I'd like to take a day and stare out on the corner of my lawn


Last Sane Man(Bradford)

I live far away in my far away world
but I still walk the earth
I live right side up in my upside down world
but I'll still give it a whirl

Its just hard when all I find
is that I just might be the last sane man on planet earth
cause it all seems to make great sense to me

I live out of room in my never ending turmoil
that I seem to make for my self
and all those lessons, well,
I try not to think about that
keep pulling smiles out of a hat
cause it just might make you laugh, when I say

that its hard when all I find
is that I just might be the last same man on planet earth
cause it all seems to make great sense to me
and that might just mean that you've all gone insane

I live looking forward in this looking backward world
even when I'm feeling the burn

It's just hard when all I find
is that I just might be the last same man on planet earth
cause it all seems to make great sense to me
and that might just mean that we've all gone insane
but it all seems to make great sense to me

Don't Be So Long (Bradford)

I used to be someone that I couldn't blame
but now nothing means more than feeling again
I used to be someone that I'd want to save
but I took more love than I gave

Don't be so long
Whoever you are
Don't be so long
I'll just be waiting

So I put my pie on a blank windowsill
the thieves outside are waiting and still
but I know what I'm doing what I'm doing right now
my pie has been poisoned so go grab your fill

Don't be so long
Whoever you are
Don't be so long
we'll just be waiting

Don't be so long
Whoever you are
Don't be so long
we'll still be here

I'll never claim to be right again
I'll always listen when you speak to me
I'll do my best to try and tell
what's real and what's a dream

I used to be someone that I'd wanna know
but now nothing means more than letting me go
I know where I'm going, I know where I've been
I know where my heart ends and where it begins

Don't be so long
Whoever you are
Don't be so long
we'll just be waiting

Don't be so long
Whoever you are
Don't be so long
we'll still be here

My Friends (Bradford)

Make one mistake, everything's OK,
everybody fucks up
Make two mistakes, everything's still fine,
but it didn't feel good this time
Make three mistakes now everybody
starts to tell you how to live your life
Keep making mistakes, just waiting for a break,
and then we live a lie

So how do you get by, My Friends?
How do you make it through the day, My Friends?

Keep making mistakes
Everybody loses faith, in there own words,
they just can't see how I could be so self absorbed
So I say to them
are you fighting the good fight, in your own way?
or are you pulling your stings just to hear them sing,
you're lifes a total waste

So how do you get by, My Friends?
How do you make it through the day, My Friends?

In the end, will you be so sure?
Dreaming of the stars while you sleep on the floor
Whose in those castles while you're on the street?
and when you're falling,
Do you dream you land on your two feet

So how do you get by, My Friends?
How do you make it through the day, My Friends?
Who are My Friends?

Already Laughing (Bradford)

Already Laughing, already headed for the door
the rise of the laughter drowns out the sound of hearts beating
from underneath the floor
Make me a promise that you won't be like everybody else,
if you can do that, put my heart back on the shelf

the answers come when you come undone
when you feel at home and you're on the run
the answers come when you come undone

Already fooling, the rulers are choosing your fate
They pulled down the ceiling while we
just stood kneeling
now how do we appreciate?
Everything passes, and everything matters,
but it's hard to live that way
Everyone passes and everyone matters,
but it doesn't always work that way

the answers come when you come undone
when you feel at home and you're all alone
the answers come when you come undone

Already Laughing, already headed for the door
the rise of the laughter drowns out the sound of hearts beating
from underneath the floor
Make me a promise that you won't be like everybody else,
if you can do that, put my heart back on the shelf

Apocalypse Cow (Bradford)

 This is the story of a man who fought with grit and determination
 Took it upon himself to make the tough decisions for everybody else
 He knew deep in his heart that the soldiers he led would never know better
 And when someone fell he was the first to write their folks a nice letter

 Put your helmets on
 we're going to battle
 keep your armor up
 cause we may not return
 I once solemnly swore
 I'd knock down Heaven's door
 But now I'm not so sure.

 It was on this bloody day that he found himself in quite the predicament
 A decision was made that went against his better judgement
 To throw his boys to the wolves and keep that hill if only for a moment
 Cause that's the price we pay when the silent siren sounds our committment

 Put your helmets on
 we're going to battle
 keep your armor up
 cause we may not return
 I once solemnly swore
 I'd knock down Heaven's door
 But now I'm not so sure.

 And on his loneliest days he thinks of all the roles he's played,
 knew deep in his heart that God made him the answer
 And for all the fools still questioning,
 He won't wait for your reckoning
 Serves up the truth on a vicious platter.

 Like it didn't even matter.

 So there came a day when he felt in his heart the words of his maker
 Closed his eyes real tight, "No time to breathe! Fire hard till we break her!"
 But when he saw the fear in the eyes of his troops he raised his broken hand to proclaim:
 "Today is the end of the world," as he yelled one last command and said:

 Put your helmets on
 we're going to battle
 keep your armor up
 cause we may not return
 I once solemnly swore
 I'd knock down Heaven's door
 But now I'm not so sure.

 I'm not so sure.

 I feel like the apocalypse cow. I'll sacrifice myself right here and now.
 I feel like the apocalypse cow. I'll sacrifice myself right here and now.

Battle Cry (Bradford)

Did you call your doctor
To get your happy pills?
When you left me bleeding
on the battlefield?
While I lay there dying
I think of what is real
Surprised to see I'm smiling
Amazed that I feel

Nothing.
I feel nothing.

So when you took leave of me
Something you couldn't kill
I bled out my memories
And took back my will
But I still hope the best for you
When you seek your thrills
No longer standing next to me
Amazed that I feel

Nothing.
I feel nothing.

Once A Dream (Bradford)

Once a dream, a dream came to me.
Was I still sleeping?
And in my dream, someone lifted me
And I lost control.
So in a field, surrounded by leaves
I can hear my footsteps
And then I was turned, darkenss filled my world
And I am slowly coming down.
Cause I can barely see a thousand faces through the trees
Staring back at me.
What does it mean, what's expected of me?
How am I supposed to fix this?
And all through my dream, the faces pulling me
And I feel nothing.
And I feel nothing.

Once a dream, a dream came to me.
Was I still sleeping?



Holding
(Bradford)

Do you feel used? Are you used to it?
When will you finally make up your mind?
Are you abused? Are you the victim?
Now that you know you're running out of time.

So who do you want with you at the end of the world?
Who's hands will you want to be holding?
Holding?

When you're confused, choose to listen.
When will you finally pull the blinds on your life?
When you're alone, don't know what you're missing.
When will you finally make up your mind?

So who do you want with you at the end of the world?
Who's hands will you want to be holding?
Holding?
