I have just been wondering wondering for hours and hours why these things have to matter so much why do I even care Concerns that don’t concern me now stuck in my head it can’t find a way out unless I help to find it It feels like I just spin around and I look right into space trying too hard oh what good does it do why don’t I try to find my way Concerns that don’t concern me now stuck in my head it can’t find a way out unless I help to find it No need to act this way It’s only something on the side Concerns that don’t concern me now stuck in my head it can’t find a way out unless I help to find it No need to act this foolish way It’s only something on the side I need to snap into shape I’ll find a way to move on

Hey, please find some way to come out of that shell today I find it’s such a bind to be stuck inside and you won’t come out to play So hey why don’t you say why you hesitate to relax and play Oh, it’s better to go and do what you can if you’ve got some time to lay aside It’s right, everyone knows Cold nights bring warm days So we use these days and hours Hey, please find some way to come out of that shell today What good is all that work when you don’t let it bring you happiness It’s right, everyone knows Cold nights bring warm days So we use these days and hours They say all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy so we use these days and hours So please come out to play No excuses to make I don’t want to hear you say You act old when you’re young and young when you’re old It’s right, everyone knows Cold nights bring warm days So we use these days and hours They say all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy so we use these days and hours So please come out to play No excuses to make I don’t want to hear you say You act old when you’re young and young when you’re old

Roadhouse 03:46
Poor and lonely is the life we lead and it just don't seem to jive sometimes we feel like we're barely alive, we start to cook and then we book to another boogie bar in a little shanty town serving grandad on the rocks Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues) Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues) and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our Roadhouse blues be gone Now we're back on the road, cruisin for cash again (bop shoo wop, bop shoo way) Feelin' low down in another sad town and our music is all we got but we know damn well we'll be feelin' just swell when we're back with those mamas of ours Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues) Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues) and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our Roadhouse blues be gone Now don't let us fool ya, we love that rock n' roll (bop shoo wop, bop shoo way) we can play all night, don't need no help at all (bop shoo wop, bop shoo way) We don't need no love or money for us to play that boogie woogie for you Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues) Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues) and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our Roadhouse blues be gone Now we're back on the road, cruisin for cash again (bop shoo wop, bop shoo way) Feelin' low down in another sad town and our music is all we got but we know damn well we'll be feelin' just swell when we're back with those mamas of ours Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues) Roadhouse, roadhouse blues again (we got the blues, we got the blues) and when we come on home to our lovin' little mamas our Roadhouse blues be gone Bop shoo wop, bop shoo way

Here she comes, she’s in a disguise silently, she’s crept into their minds I try to run but it’s hard to hide Once she comes, she falls so deep inside when you see it, it seems too late everyone suddenly just opens up the gate from what I’ve seen it appears so clear she flies stealthily through the air and she has Dark eyes and a Dark smile well it captivates and brings us down there seems to be no way to get away Can’t you find another way to feel happy just some other kind of day you find yourself better off so soon Possessed in flames and passing the disease the kind of sickness that you’re anxious to receive why can’t you see that there is no light to be extracted from what is known as Dark eyes and a Dark smile and it escalates to nothing good at all no reason just appeasing a social sense of being that is brought out of control Can’t you find another way to feel happy just some other kind of day you find yourself better off so soon Can’t you find another way to feel happy just some other kind of day you find yourself better off so soon

Well I grew up in a South New England town It’s a place where democracy abounds I like this system it seems to work the whole year through but wouldn’t it be funny If a castle sprung up from the ground you didn’t see that coming, hey! November with short sleeves on We plow the fields and feel so alone maybe we can randomly bring a monarchy, I wish to be King! I wish to be King! I wish to be King! So I can rule the land with all my generosity and kindness With trumpets blaring I’d write some charters Knight some awesome people propose a decree I’ll have a crown and a throne to sit on when I tire but wouldn’t it be funny If I wore a robe made out of fir to piss off animal rights activists Bows, arrows, and a towering keep a drawbridge over a moat of green water maybe we can randomly bring a monarchy, I wish to be King! I wish to be King! I wish to be King! So I can rule the land with all my generosity and kindness

Some time ago In Kacie’s garden she watched as flowers went into bloom It seemed to her the days get lazy she’s gone crazy far too soon she finds herself in an odd situation biding her time as she stands there alone she seems to like communication across the nation on the phone Ooh where’s her lover now not in his arms, she’s away he sits and warms his hands by the fire she’s got another sunny day Where is she when he needs her or where is he when she needs him all they do is pick up the receiver punch some numbers and connect their hearts Ooh have they gone too far sending their pictures in the mail the sound of their voices stop the silence the story of their day tells a tale Safe, and watching the day floats and flies away feeling tired today watch as the stars come near Then one day low and behold he showed up at her front door he wasn’t the same as in the picture she killed him, he was a meanie anyway Ooh have they gone too far sending their pictures in the mail he lays in the ground with those flowers he’s got another sunny day

Airplane 05:33
I had a dream once when I was a little guy I took a plane right up into the sky I flew around for miles and miles The ground below all made of patches and tiles When dreams are here they come and they go dreams of land, water, and snow Winter breezes, they get so cold If I could fly 10,000 miles high over the mountains and over the sky it’s a brilliant day as always outside Airplane won’t you fly to the unknown regions of space and time let’s take a wild ride to the outskirts of your imagination the sea of blue appears to be so crystal clear As it has for so many a year this is right where you want to be if it’s many different places you would like to see I see the stars out of the corner of my eye the sun shines bright as the wind passes by ascending now the moon draws near The time is here, how fast can we go such a question, nobody knows arrange our thoughts and fly around the world Airplane won’t you fly to the unknown regions of space and time let’s take a wild ride to the outskirts of your imagination Airplane won’t you fly to the unknown regions of space and time let’s take a wild ride to the outskirts of your imagination

Direction 04:41
Well I watched the sunrise I was looking at the New York syline Standing tall Explaining to myself just how I think of it Explaining to myself some crazy dreams The world’s on fire I can’t deny it any longer than I have Cause I’m imploding with all of them Trying hard but discovering the faults I have Trying hard to improve the progress Now what, of me now I’m not any better but I hope I’m not getting worse The way I see it Left and right there’s statements made that differ Left and right I differ with them too With flashing excitement The streets light up and the people get moving Where would they move We all need a sense of direction to follow We all need sincerity to come back home

I can see the night Coming over to me such a dangerous mess and I can hardly see You said you were coming and now you’re going to go and where I’m headed I’m not so sure I know oh Lost I try to find my way out maybe easy when you think about it Interesting how it makes you feel a different way Stuck in the madness Got to get out of it Just stuck in the madness Thinking of a way to make things right The sands shift around The grounds unstable where we stand How much are we to blame If the walls want to cave in we push them out and see what we find on this side And think about our lives all the while Where’s it going to go next Turns are always coming along Stuck in the madness Got to get out of it Just stuck in the madness Thinking of a way to make things right Life’s so hard to predict You’ve got to take what comes your way And find a way to go That helps to better your day Where’s it going to bring us next Seems that you just can’t expect it Wonder where it’s going Making us ready Stuck in the madness Got to get out of it Just stuck in the madness Thinking of a way to make things right

It’s been raining Clearing up today The star has come our way that we have watched throughout our lives It seems that baby I’ve seen you lately On a corner in the crowded afternoon Time to smile Watch as the world is turning green I’ve seen you dancing in the rain Timetable’s wild Thoughts and memories get flowing This just seems to be Seems to be the ultra side of life La la la La la la La la la la la X2 I think about sitting Under a tree in some shade As everything around me brightens up the air We watch these other things But what do they matter When all that matters are the things that are so good Time to smile Watch as the world is turning green I’ve seen you dancing in the rain Timetable’s wild Thoughts and memories get flowing This just seems to be Seems to be the ultra side of life La la la La la la La la la la la X2 Everyone should come together Greet each other with kindness Thinking of how much it can make you feel alright You’ve got to think about Everything positive They lead to the highest goals of happiness La la la, la la la, La la la la la X4

about

The intention for this album was to write one song for each month in order to maintain a completely positive feeling. The result is a tracklisting loosely based on the order the songs were written leading up to the release, obviously with a few exceptions.
