Rocket 02:41
Astro dreams without a license for anything Now it burns a little hot Breaks up in all the right spots My love is a rocket Can you feel it breaking sound My love is a rocket (My love is a rocket) Got a darlin' as a pet She's wiping down the machine sweat Now I'm lightning in the air Smoke away all these cares My love is a rocket Can you feel it breaking sound My love is a rocket (My love is a rocket} Never needed nothing but to get off the ground Taking you away to where'll will never be found Astro dreams without a license for anything Now it burns a little hot Breaks up in all the right spots My love is a rocket Can you feel it breaking sound My love is a rocket(My love is a rocket; Love is a rocket) Do you feel it Do you see it Do you know it (My love is a rocket) Can you touch it Can you breathe it Can you show it it (My love is a rocket) Do you feel it Do you see it Do you know it (My love is a rocket) Can you touch it Can you breathe it Can you rock it (My love is a rocket; Love is a rocket)

Train Driver 04:20
Standing at the station I didn't feel you coming Just another derail to end your running You said you'd be back; well how could you crash? I believed you I see the fire creeping up from the tracks And in the wind was your engineers cap You were trained so well to be a train belle So what happened? Girl, what we need you to be is a good train driver Girl, what we need you to be is a good train driver Can't get to work if you don't take there No other rail queen could make me care A boy like this could get swallowed by the ditch But I trusted you Reporter on the ground; chopper in the air The heartless souls who stop and stare They close their eyes and get on and get off And forget about it Well I can't forget about it Girl, what we need you to be is a good train driver Girl, what we need you to be is a good train driver Walking home I thought I saw you there Just a flower tree the color of your hair I place your cap at the top of it's bloom And make my way to my empty gloom In my endless room Girl, what we need you to be is a good train driver Girl, what we need you to be is a good train driver Girl, what we need you to be is a good train driver Girl, what we need you to be is a good train driver

Seems my faith is close to the edge Summertime had a change of mind Saw your wing float up to the sky Will you come back if I'm willing to try So I wait it out one more time Operator in the sky can you move me up the line Seems your plan has been overthrown Still in my head not in my bed Is their a sub ordained for me Or did you write it off with the host as lost So I wait it out one more time Operator in the sky can you move me up the line Cause it's hard to believe in magic and dreams while between angels While Between Angels While Between Angels Seems like Heaven Air has held all flights So I wait it out one more time Operator in the sky can you move me up the line Cause it's hard to believe in magic and dreams while between angels While Between Angels While Between Angels While Between Angels While Between Angels

Giant 04:21
In my dreaming ocean, there lies a giant that I've tried to escape Nearer he comes as I wait Hoping that something has changed As he floats above me and drags me into the deep Well I start to think maybe it's better this way I won't have to crawl my way home Don't you like to tell stories? Well, just think how many you can tell when your ship comes in Talking and talking again Just like the ones I hear from him From him From him You say you're a giant Much bigger than life You say you're a giant Much bigger than life

Janitor Song 04:39
Silent cleaning wakes us up on time And we garden to the greener side Gasoline does nothing for our lives A faster way to outrace time Come clean with me honey Let;s break the bank One day when you rise we'll have gotten away Let's dust with our money Forget about the fame One day when you rise we'll have gotten away I'm a janitor and you are are just a maid Together we might make this break Alcohol does nothing for our lives A better way to kick the time Come clean with me honey Let;s break the bank One day when you rise we'll have gotten away Don't need much money Forget about the fame One day when you rise we'll have gotten away Hail Mary janitor lead us on our path The joyous and left behind Sweeping stairs that lead to weeping skies That cleanse our walk and keep gardens fine Come clean with me honey Let;s break the bank One day when you rise we'll have gotten away Let's dust with our money Forget about the fame One day when you rise we'll have gotten away One day when you rise

There's an earthquake you feel But is it real if just your clothes have spilled There's a castle of sand the wind blew off track Should you build it back Don't be looking for something to come back to you Don't be searching for things lost along the way Leave it all behind you This is brand new while rockets red glare And white girls take pills And skinheads, they still smoke dope Its the same old town Walk on the same old ground listen to the same old sound And the child inside committed suicide On the robot slide Don't be looking for something to come back to you Don't be searching for things lost along the way Leave it all behind you This is brand new while rockets red glare And white girls take pills And skinheads, they still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope Well I'm talking about it Skinheads still smoke dope Yeah say it out loud now Skinheads still smoke dope Keep pushing on and talking about it Skinheads still smoke dope Yeah say it out loud now Skinheads still smoke dope Yeah sing it every day Don't be looking for Don't be looking for I say don't be looking for Don't be looking for something to come back to you Don't be searching for things lost along the way Leave it all behind you This is brand new while rockets red glare And white girls take pills And skinheads, they still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope Skinheads still smoke dope

Trade your S&H Green Stamps for a guitar and a ten watt amp Try and learn how to play it while your young attitude holds you back And everything takes so long And it takes time to get strong Are you gonna be a star Or just another boy and his guitar Trade your schooling for hanging with the songs that rule your world Teachers complaining but that's alright when you get eyes from the girls They want to know what your about And free you mind of doubt Are you gonna be a star Or just another boy and his guitar Trade your love songs for anger Emotions that come with age No time to be bitter Keep your heart and head on the same page Smoking in the practice room And it ain't gonna happen soon Are you gonna be a star Or just another boy and his guitar Just another boy and his guitar
