    Closing Time

    Closing time
    Open all the doors and let you out into the world

    Closing time
    Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl

    Closing time
    One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer

    Closing time
    You don't have to go home but you can't stay here

    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home

    Closing time
    Time for you to go out to the places you will be from

    Closing time
    This room won't be onpen till your brother or your sisters come

    So gather all your jackets and move it to the exits
    I hope you have found a friend

    Closing time
    Ever new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home
    I know who I want to take me home

    Singing in my Sleep

    Got your tape and it changed my mind
    Heard your voice in between the lines
    Come around from another time
    Where nobody ever goes

    All alone on the overpass
    Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
    Now I'm falling in love too fast
    With you or the songs you chose

    And all the stars
    Play for me
    Say the promise you long to keep

    I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
    I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep

    I've been living in your cassette
    It's the modern equivalent
    Singing up to a Capulet
    On a balcony in your mind

    In the City the lion sleeps
    Pray to Sony my soul to keep
    Were you ever so bright and sweet
    Did you ever look so nice

    And all the sounds
    Dream for me
    Dive me down in a soul so deep

    I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
    I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep

    Made to Last

    Made to last awhile
    And roll on
    Made to move in style
    And move along

    Made to dream of flying
    So high
    Made to wake up crying
    I don't know why

    Beautiful one
    Asleep in the sun
    Secret, sweet & sublime
    I hope you last a long, long time

    Made to come alone
    And pair up
    Flash like a rolling stone
    Seventy-one

    One time love affair
    With the earth
    Waiting on the air
    For some re-birth
    (For what it's worth)

    Wherever you are
    Nearby or far
    Black, white, lemon or lime
    I hope you last a long, long time

    Never You Mind

    Saturday morning alone and barely feeling
    Sitting at home after rocking and a-reeling
    All night in a cat fight
    With the only one who can make me cry

    Open the blinds and the world is in rotation
    Shaking my mind like an Etch-a-Sketch erasing
    Sunshine, you were bad, I'm
    Still mad but I can't remember why

    I believe you know me well
    I react like you're ringing a bell
    Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
    Never you mind

    Rolling along to the song that aggravates us
    Beckoned on by the mirage of an oasis
    Hurry, I'm getting blurry
    And it's no longer clear in my mind

    I believe you know me well
    I react like you're ringing a bell
    Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
    Never you mind

    I believe I got you down
    You react like anybody else around
    Are you sorry that we wasted our time
    Never you mind

    Sometimes it takes all my time guessing why I can't figure it out
    Sometimes it takes all my energy just to forget about
    All the memories that I'd be better off without
    I believe you know me well

    Switch on the box Mr. Spock is on the table
    Dr. McCoy is unable to connect his brain
    Sweatin and strainin
    Well it seemed so simple at the time

    Secret Smile

    Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
    And you use it only for me
    Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
    And you use it only for me

    So use it and prove it
    Remove this whirling sadness
    I'm losing, I'm bluesing
    But you can save me from madness

    Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
    And you use it only for me
    Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
    And you use it only for me

    So save me I'm waiting
    I'm needing, hear me pleading
    And soothe me, improve me
    I'm grieving, I'm barely believing now, now

    When you are flying around and around the world
    And I'm lying alonely
    I know there's something sacred and free reserved
    And received by me only

    DND

    DND Now they'll leave us alone
    DND Now you turn off the phone

    How like you to make the whole world disappear and
    How like you to make everything seem so clear and
    How like you to make me want to stay forever
    Here behind your door

    DND Hang the sign on the door
    DND Don't disturb us no more

    How like you to make your love my hideaway and
    How like you to make my troubles slide away and
    How like you to make me want to play forever
    Here behind your door

    Minute I got some space and time I
    Wanted to get me back in the crowd
    Minute I got some peace you found me
    Trying to make my way to the loud
    What a clown...

    DND Leave the hotel at noon
    DND Will I see you soon?
    How like you to make the whole world disappear and
    How like you to make everything seem so clear and
    How like you to make me want to stay forever
    Here behind your door

    DND
    DND
    DND

    Now they'll leave us alone

    Completely Pleaced

    I wanted to leave you
    Completely pleased
    Sleep drifting above you
    Sweetly released

    I want to see you smiling
    Weak in the knees
    I want to see you come, come
    Completely pleased
    I want to give you something
    Priceless and free
    And free -- ee -- ee

    I wanted to leave you
    Completely pleased
    Sleep drifting above you
    Sweetly complete/at peace

    I want to see you hazy
    Dazed and confused I
    Want to see you come, come
    Completely used up
    I want to give you something
    Forever and true
    And true -- oo - oo

    This Will be my Year

    Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush
    And a Monday morning cry
    It's the tail that you keep chasing
    And it gets away every time

    New Years Eve and it's hard to believe
    Another Zodiac's gone around
    While you drank yourself high on hoping
    And watched the ceiling spin from the ground

    Counting down from ten it's time
    To make your annual prayer
    Secret Santa in the sky
    When will I get my share

    Then you tell yourself
    What you want to hear
    Cause you have to believe
    This will be my year

    Pound your fist and cross it off your list
    But you know you're not that strong
    When the man at the stop light catches you
    Singing along to a brand new song

    Well maybe it's
    Trash or the overnight smash that brings your
    Ship crashing through the wall
    So you can make your grand departure
    From a world where you feel so small

    One wheel in the ditch another
    Spinning in the air
    Put your pedal down to the floorboards cos you're not
    Getting anywhere

    Then you tell yourself
    What you want to hear
    Cause you have to believe
    This will be my year

    All Worked Out

    She's got it all worked out in her mind
    And you're part of the plan
    And you don't have the final word

    She's got a long head start on your brain
    And your heart is afraid
    And you don't get to say you're thinking

    Come on make it easy now
    Come on make it easy on us all
    Come on make it easy now or tears may fall

    She's got it all worked out I'm afraid
    And your time is arranged
    And it's strange but you're feeling fine

    She's got it all worked out I'm afraid
    And your life is arranged
    And it's strange but you're feeling fine

    California

    Driven through the canyons I was
    Dazzled by the mountains and we didn't go very far
    Close enough to heaven if you
    Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star

    I tried to get inside I bought a
    Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head
    I went out for a ride to go
    Across a great divide and I ended up at home instead

    California
    I thought I should see
    Now I'm back home, yeah
    With twelve little pieces of me

    I was just a passenger a
    Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night
    A visitor a stranger thought I
    Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights

    Tore my heart out from my chest
    Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul
    Chose the ones I loved the most
    Drove 'em all down to the coast
    Threw 'em in a big black hole

    California
    I thought I should see
    Now I'm back home, yeah
    With twelve little pieces of me
    California
    I dreamed I would find
    Some kinda sorta pick-me-up
    I got twelve little pieces of my mind

    She Spreads her Wings

    At night she spreads her wings
    She dreams of bigger things
    She floats above the town
    She sings without a sound

    She can be anywhere at all
    She can be anyone at all

    A glow and then a shine
    What she hoped she would find
    Tonight, tonight

    She's got a picture in her mind
    She can be anyone at all

    At night she changed her mind
    She left the world behind

    Gone to the Movies

    Now the rain comes down the windows and it
    Drops onto the forehead of the waiting boy
    He surveys his rental kingdom and he
    Wonders if he's really lost his one joy

    Another fool would go down to the
    Only place she ever went to lose herself
    She's gone to the movies now and she
    Don't need your help

    Now the rain turns into snowfall as the
    City sky reflects the silver street below
    And it covers up the cars and the Wall Flowers cd ended half an hour ago

    Another fool would dig the broken car out from the snow
    And drive to find the show
    She's gone to the movies now and she's
    Not coming home
    She's gone to the movies now and she's
    Not coming home
