Story Of... 04:30
they said, "well, boy you must be crazy, you must be lazy, you must be lost. You must not know the great, great cost of high rise living in this world." "Don't you know the time is 9 to 5 if you're to make it out alive? Here's your pencil, here's your key We'll cheer you on to victory and a corner view of the world A corner view of the world!" I shook my head and shook their hands, and headed off to distant lands to test the virtue of their sound philosophy On a dusty road in a dusty land, I met an old and rusty man If I had to guess his age, a day older than the bible's first page He had his cash and he wore it proud, Shoulders back and a voice real loud, but then he whispered in my ear, "I'd trade you all my wealth and failing health, for the years you have ahead." I carried on but his words lingered in my head I traveled years and saw the world, Fell in love with a fine young girl; Now at home not a day goes by Without a vision of the old man's eyes And his words echo in my head...

there's a house, a hill there's a room familiar voices fill, and the words they say will keep me as I make my way far from the world I have known so don't go, just stay let me leave you in this perfect way and the night is yours to breathe it was heaven here with you, heaven here with you, it was heaven here with you, it's over now far from the world I have known in my head I'm on my own and there's nothing more than this, in my head, on my own in my head I'm on my own, and there's nothing I will miss, in my head, on my own

Park 05:30
the cop said, "sir, you must get home, it's after 12, your wife will wait up with the light on." I said, "sir, you must not remember me, from way back in our history, but I ain't got no wife, no car, no place to call my own." "I've got this bench in this here park, and wait 'til hours after dark, to hide my face and my disgrace from my old friends, and even you." "With your uniform and badge, Shows the fortune that you've had, compared to me and my confinement to this solitude." "Well once upon a time, I'd pass a nickel, pass a dime to the likes of me." "I would have thought that gesture then would circle back to me again, but it's not so. It's not so." "You can search me head to toe, you'll find no bottle in the snow, no poor excuse. No bad investment lost. No excuse. So what's the use... in asking why. I'll just lie here. I've got the stars above me, I've got the stars above me, And all I need is love. All I need is love, love.

Emil 04:53
Emil laughs and downs his medicine A hundred years, with few ahead of him I bring dessert, the same as every day, But now his face grows tired and he says, "You know, my dad - he always used to say, 'Son, don't get old.' It's funny how today His words mean more to me than yesterday," And with that Emil went to sleep for good. The bright lights flash, no time to swerve away, 5 years old, the stone will mark the day; The 6th year passed without an hour of play, The questions steal a mother's life a way Middle aged at 25 he sailed Along in life, the future yet unveiled At 51, his final breath exhaled The chapter closed and left us reeling Well here I am, here at the end of it. Yes here I am, here at the end of it, Can I just have one moment more? My wife is coming in the door, I'd like to tell her...

Years Ago 04:33
Years ago I was twenty-something years alive and dreaming Years ago I was everything you wanted me to be Years ago Time was all we had to spend and it was Years ago Anything you want to have, it was yours Years ago Sunny days were all we knew, and it was Years ago Love was all we had to give, and it was Years ago We were everything they wanted us to be Years ago We were everything a simple life would let us be Well now you know who I am And if you want to go, Make your plans I don't want to be forgotten. I don't want to be forgiven.

Hazel 05:06
she is love. I want to tell all the world, that I'm in love with a blue eyed, blue eyed, blue eyed, blue eyed girl and she can tell all the world that she is loved mmm she came to me high atop a desert hill, we watched the traffic race below and in a field, we welcomed the daylight hour and it was love, it was love she is love. I want to tell all the world, that I'm in love with a blue eyed, blue eyed, blue eyed, blue eyed girl and she can tell all the world that she is loved mmm i see one path lit before us, don't you know. one future to share between our lives and i will give you love i will give you all my love you my life, you my wife she is love. I want to tell all the world, that I'm in love with a blue eyed, blue eyed, blue eyed, blue eyed girl and she can tell all the world that she is loved mmm

well the view from way up here, it doesn't change too much, from spring, summer to fall but in december all the questions rise like fireflies and no, i can't catch 'em all and then this room becomes a crowd, as all the voices sing aloud, "now we know we never owned our blood and bone," and that's the view from way up here. a man goes walking through the woods, to see the other side, to see the other side. but he can't go it on his own, no he can't go it all alone, not on his own. until he trips and finds his mind and grows a love for all mankind and that my friends is what you know, it's what you sew, when you've the view from way up here. a man takes boat on out to sea, to see the other side, to see what he can see (all aboard!) he'll up and go there on his own, he'll take the world on all alone, out on his own until he drifts into the storm and all the shapes he knew lose form he shuts his eyes and rides along, the long dark night and through to dawn and what he learns is what he earns is all for not and that's the view from way up here.

Don 04:32
don, don't you ever see the light that shines on all of us, that shines on you don, chasing windmills in the dark that shines on all of us, that shines on you don, don't you ever feel the love that falls on all of us that falls on you don, on your big horse, oh so proud so proud of all of us are you proud of me? don, don't you ever feel the love that shines on all of us that shines on you don't you ever don't you ever

Machine 05:21
clinging to the earth at 95, simulated lungs and hearts and eyes seeing where the neighbors change their clothes watch the actor's child as she grows any question asked, an answer found static world where pixeled friends abound all we know is living by machines, living years beyond the system's means from his desk the voyeur goes unseen, trillionaires created from the screen the talking heads are in my living room, arctic fronts and savings coming soon! life is a dream, in the machine

Blame 04:06
you know i will always be the one to stop and take the blame you know i will always be the one to stop and take the blame another day with our words in the way of a perfect afternoon you could've walked, but you turned and you talked and you said the one thing that you knew would stay, would play, on my mind you know i will always be the one to stop and take the blame you know i will always be the one to stop and take the blame and so you won, with a twist of your tongue but your smile betrays your heart the morning sun will forget what we've done and for the moment, we'll be happily ever after you know i will always be the one to stop and take the blame you know i will always be the one to stop and take the blame
