Fool's Mate

Decoys and deflections
Leading me astray
My heart's getting close to overloaded
Red Flag on the clock
Says time is out of control
An isolated pawn without knowing
Passive sacrifice
In perpetual check
Of all the things that I'm afraid of blowing
Convenient late nights
And strategic crushes
A quiet move we shouldn't be ignoring
Might be Fool's Mate
But at this outpost I 'll wait
For the chance that this queen
Won't end me with defeat
In casual games
You can always take it back
But the pro's know it's all about planning
If somehow you and I
Get tied up in a draw
Hope you know I won't be the one folding
Might be Fool's Mate
But at this outpost I'll wait
For the chance that this queen
Won't end me with defeat
Decoys and deflections
Leading me astray
My heart's getting close to overloaded
Red Flag on the clock
Says time is out of control
An isolated pawn without knowing
Might be Fool's Mate
But at this outpost I'll wait
For the chance that this queen
Won't end me with defeat

Topple Me Over

Topple me over
Carry me undone
Take me back to the place
Where I know I'm from
Where the skies so blue
And the valley's wide
Yes the lake's so deep
And the mountains high
I guess I stood too tall
For long enough
A little too proud
A little too tough
Peter Pan my way through life
Then the water's got rough
Oh topple me over
Carry me undone
And let it rain
Let it rain
Let it pour down on you
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it pour down on you
So let it rain
Let it rain
Let it pour down on you
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it pour down on you
So topple me over
Carry me undone
And take me back to the place
Where I know I'm from
Where the skies so blue
And the valley's wide
Yes the lake's so deep
And the mountains high

Play me a song that I know
Play me a song that I know
So I can sing my part
So I know where to start
Play me a song that I know
Play me what I want to hear
Play me what I want to hear
So I will listen up
So I can see more clear
Play me what I want to hear
Play me a song that gets better with time
Like an old vintage wine in the barrel
Sing me a tune that just rolls off the tongue
That's easy to hum like a carol
You sing high
I'll sing low
Play me a song that I know
Play me a song that gets better with time
Like an old vintage wine in the barrel
Sing me a tune that just rolls off the tongue
That's easy to hum like a carol
You sing high
I'll sing low
Play me a song that I know
Just play me a song that I know

Boiler Room

Burning memories for fuel
Down in the Boiler Room
Every lantern they kept lit
Every stage right exit
We felt it all
Built it all for you
All the stewards they've all known
Ghosts made themselves at home
Every changing of the guard
Every light that said last call
We saw it all
Built it all for you
All the love put on display
There's no window to this stage
Every fan feeds the flame
Every encore once began
We risked it all
Built it all for you
There's a magic quality
Music makes us a family
Every show you shouldn't miss
Every chance to feel like this
We loved it all
Built it all for you
Yeah, we loved it all
Built it all for you
Yeah, we loved it all
Built it all for you
Yeah, we loved it all
Built it all for you
Yeah, we loved it all
Built it all for you

Lonely Road Intro
01:46
|

|
It's been a lonely road I'm travellin'
I can feel myself unravellin'
Measured by the time that it takes
I was young and bold
Thinking life would just unfold
Now I'm trying to learn from my mistakes
I know we all feel this way
We all fall down it'll be ok

Lonely Road

I've learned as days go by
That being humble takes some time
And some wear and tear along the way
I know when times are tough
It's better lost than in the dust
But I'll figure out my own path to blaze
I've seen you in my dreams
I've had too many schemes
Of ways to bring this all back to me
I know we'll make it past
Cause these feelings never last
And we're stronger than our foolish needs
The future's never certain
I know we're always workin'
Bustin' our bodies just to pay the toll
I hope that when I'm gone
They'll still sing the songs
Keep the fires burnin' in our souls
Made a goal to make one too
Spend my life searching for you
Too much time trying to find someone who's gone
When all is said and done
It's been a lonely road I'm travellin'
I can feel myself unravellin'
Measured by the time that it takes
I was young and bold
Thinking life would just unfold
Now I'm trying to learn from my mistakes
I know we all feel this way
We all fall down it'll be ok
I know we all feel this way
We all fall down it'll be ok
We all fall down it'll be ok
We all fall down it'll be ok
We all fall down it'll be ok
We all fall down it'll be ok
We all fall down....

Down in New Orleans
Diamond Jim he raised the pot
Read between the number son
It's nearly 3 o'clock
Bottles been leaking for hours Jim
You've only got a drop
Second story window
At the scene of the crime
Rasputin ate his beets
You could see it in his eyes
But even he couldn't wait
Sit down in Paris time
If you're drinkin' with the Devil
That's a risk you've gotta take
Before this night is over
From the bottle we will drink
King wore a crown of bees
As he climbed into bed
With her eyes squeezed shut
Not a word was said
Knowing after this
He'll never speak a word again
There's a comfort in conformity
Security in control
Since working here with Papa
Nothing tastes good anymore
It's time to pack it in
Head back to San Salvador
If you're drinkin' with the Devil
That's a risk you've gotta take
Before this night is over
From the bottle we will drink
If you're drinkin' with the Devil
That's a risk you've gotta take
Before this night is over
From the bottle we will drink
