Delusions - 1998

Let Me Be the One


There’s war on the East there’s hatred out West
There’s many fish in this ocean but their all possessed
There’s drought in the fields there’s floods in a city
The wallpaper’s peeling down with no one there to fix it
 
There’s flowers by my house there’s a desert near your heart
There’s some poor young soul out there who’s failed right from the start
There’s rats in civilization there’s doves in your name
There’s all of these boats falling into the sea
 
Let me be the one to stand by your side
Let me be the one to help you see thru the blindest eye
Let me be the one to hold you thru the night
Let me be the one to stand by your side
 
There’s poverty in desertion there’s love in the woods
There’s strength in numbers but the weakness is us all
There’s direction in confusion there’s wondering in the rest
The goodness of illusion is it’s the only faith

Chorus
 
Bridge

There’s war on the East there’s hatred out West
There’s many fish in this ocean but their all possessed

Chorus



Sweet Bird 

Broken sign in a broken window
I know just how it feels
The wind breaks just for a second
And in this I see your eyes

A loss of thought is your disease
Everyone needs to be free
People without chains on their ankles
People without words to hold them down
It's the healing wing

Fly on sweet bird

Do as you've learned
Fly on sweet bird
Do as you've heard and be free

Just to think about her 
Can send me so far away
It's so hard to leave here sometimes
It's so hard for me to stay
It's the healing wing

Chorus



Chase Me Away

The girl in the corner speaking French
Does she really love you like she said
The girl in the corner smoking a cigarette
Do you really love her like you said
 
There ain’t nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
To chase me away
 
The girl in the corner with the pony tail
Does she think about me does she even care
The girl in the corner surrounded by men
Can she ever really get satisfaction
 
There ain’t nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
To chase me away
 
And maybe if she tried she’d fall in love
And maybe if we tried we’d fall in love
 
The girl in the corner smoking sunshine
Is she really like this on her own time
The girl in the corner sitting quietly
No one notices her no one but me
 
There ain’t nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
To chase me away
 
The girl in the corner playing the guitar
Play me a song I think I’m in love
The girl in the corner with the long brown hair
Does she really love me does she even care
 
There ain’t nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
No there ain’t nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
To chase me away
 
To chase me away (4x)



California

When the moon shines thru your window at night
Do you sit alone and cry
Or do you fall fast asleep
Oblivious to reasons why
 
You don’t know who you really are
But you think you’d like to know someday
Drifting thru your life it seems
Doesn’t help you anyway
 
Come back home to a families love
Come back home to a families love
Come back home to a families love
Melissa
Come home
 
When the roof overtop of your head
Is made of a cardboard box
You’ve got to realize you’re going
About this wrong
 
Well I know that I miss you
And we had a lot of fun
But you had to leave us
And take to the run
 
Chorus
 
Do you like your life
Not knowing about tomorrow
Is it what you wanted
Do you like your life
Not knowing about tomorrow
Is this what you wanted
 
Chorus
 
Come on back home



Dance

Down again I’m always this way today
And we’re all mad here watch me disappear
Talk to who you will this way is wrong
So take my drag and take yourself right back
 
Dance with the Queen of hearts
Dance till you fall apart
Dance with the Queen of hearts
 
Take this take that
You’ll never get back
Take this take that
Chances are I’m not coming back
 
Wait upon the grass I’ll be right back
And I don’t feel right in this tin box to your side
The curse it was cast and I’m not coming back
 
Dance with the Queen of hearts
Dance till you fall apart
Dance with the Queen of hearts
 
Take this take that
You’ll never get back
Take this take that
Chances are I’m not coming back
 
This won’t last forever you’re staring to fade away
The tides have washed you over and there you lay
 
Dance with the Queen of hearts
Dance till you fall apart
Dance with the Queen of hearts
 
Take this take that
You’ll never get back
Take this take that
Chances are I’m not coming back



Delusions

Do you hear the calmness as it shouts your name
Do you feel the stares
Do you listen to Alice spreading her tales
Or do you turn away
 
But tonight I am real
And the feeling I feel
Says I should stay
 
My delusions are real I am not the same
My delusions are real they carry my name
My delusions are real they are to blame
For this feeling
For this trust
 
Polluting our minds with indifference
Is not what it seems
Wasting what you can’t remember it all fades away
To feel the blame
 
But tonight I am real
And the feeling I feel
Says I should stay
 
My delusions are real I am not the same
My delusions are real they carry my name
My delusions are real they are to blame
For this feeling
For this trust
 
For this love
 
So think this time turn around you’ll find
Where you belong
So catch up with time run along the line
It’s not following you
 
But tonight I am real
And the feeling I feel
Says I should stay

Chorus
 
Bridge/ oooohhhhh…
 


Maybe in the Spring

Maybe in the spring when everything is changing
You will come around you will come around
Maybe in the spring you will find what you seek
You will come around you will come around
 
Maybe I dreamed you
On a starry night
Maybe I dreamed you
I’ll take that any time
 
Maybe in the spring you will walk thru your memories
You will not fall down you will not fall down
Maybe in the spring when everything’s in harmony
And it will not rain it will not rain
 
Chorus
 
We can’t help you keep a piece of your mind
We can’t help you keep the peace of your mind
 
Chorus
 
Maybe I dreamed you…
