Serena Lane
I retire with my child
And a little bit of Irish to smile
I think I'll lean back for a while
To Serena Lane
Tripping down the path to the field
Out of body turning my heels
I can finally feel
Like I'm over my self doubt
Getting it all worked out
Getting it all worked out again
I conspire to be free
With a projector and a lucid dream
And the back of my mind
As a screen
Showing Serena Lane
Springtime clean sheets rain in the air
Warm and fresh give you new life again
I can take you there, my friend
Turning your face about
Getting it all worked out?
Getting it all worked out again
Sitting square in a deadpan stare
Here in these heavier years
My shoulders are broad
And the weight of the world?
Lift it up and throw it down
Getting it all worked out
I retire with my child
And a little bit of Irish to smile
I think I'll lean back for a while
To Serena Lane
Getting it all worked out
Getting it all worked out again

Unexpected Trains
You'd never notice
How I disguise
The fear that's in my eyes
I cannot focus
On anything at all
That's right in front of me today
Yeah the rain is still pounding
The wind is whipping the trees just like slaves
A life of frustration
Picking up strength
Over an ocean of calm rage
All that's taking me on
I'm taking to heart
And pumping right back through my veins
It's giving me a start
Like unexpected trains
The track is abandoned
I'm walking alone
Counting my blessings today
A life of frustration
Picking up strength
Over an ocean of calm rage
All that's taking me on
I'm taking to heart
And pumping back through my veins
It gives me a start
Like unexpected trains
Sounding like a hurricane
Moving like a hurricane
Sounding like a hurricane
All that's taking me on
Is taken to heart
And pumping right back through my veins
It's giving me a start
Like unexpected trains

Falling Back Under The Sky
One eye is lazy
One eye is fixed
My views are hazy
My blessings are mixed
Don't ask me why
I keep from falling back under the sky
On top of the world
I see things so clear
No sign of danger
No thought of fear
As hard as I try
I keep on falling back under the sky
Funny how it works
Funny that
Wise in the morning
Clowning by noon
Lost in the dusk
Dark with the moon
Shed me some light
I'll practice 'til death
Strength over might
Catching my breath
As fast as I run
I'm always
Behind the sun
Don't ask me why
I keep on falling back under the sky
Funny how it works
Funny that
Wise in the morning
Clowning by noon
Lost in the dusk
Dark with the moon
One eye is lazy
One eye is fixed
My views are hazy
My blessings are mixed

Rabbit Ears
Listen up my darling
Don't you listen to their jeers
Everyone inside that crowd
Knows that you have rabbit ears
They'll want to sway you to their side
And if you won't go then they'll taunt you darling
Why? Put up your antenna for that kind?
Tune yourself to somewhere else inside
It's time
to find
Just how beautiful you are
Beautiful you are on your own
You say the bully in the playground
Has caught you off your guard
And he towers over you
At the bottom of the slide
Yeah he'll want to steal your change
But let him be denied my darling
Why? Put up your antenna for that kind?
Tune yourself to somewhere else inside
It's time
to find
Just how beautiful you are
Beautiful you are on your baby
Why? (Why time?) Put up your antenna for that kind?
(Your time) Tune yourself to somewhere else inside
It's time
to find
Just how beautiful you are
Beautiful you are on your own
