Waiting For The Bus —------------------------- We weren't baptized By Elvis living off handouts Help us we're too blind To see the writing on the wall We laid claim to an empty keg Too intoxicated to break a leg Always bowing out In the station's civic stalls Waiting For The Bus It ain't stopping for us Waiting For The Bus Going nowhere or bust [BRIDGE] # # # # # Words and Music by: Paul Z.

Waiting For The Bus
---------------------------------

We weren't baptized
By Elvis living off handouts
Help us we're too blind
To see the writing on the wall

We laid claim to an empty keg
Too intoxicated to break a leg
Always bowing out
In the station's civic stalls

Waiting For The Bus
It ain't stopping for us
Waiting For The Bus
Going nowhere or bust

The Girl Who Could Not Laugh
—--------------------------------------

OPENING:
I keep on teasing her
And I am getting nothing
Outta her so I decided to
Wrote this song for her

C.1
Turn the page
Purse your lips
Shout out
Do something

Whisper sweet
Nothing's say &
Do anything

Couldn’t guffah
Or chuckle
Or give a wry grin
Her only happiness
Is deep within

The Girl Who Could Not Laugh
All her feelings are held deep
Down within her throat

No pleasure for her
Today, tomorrow
Or yesterday

The Girl Who Could Not Laugh
Just lays there inside her
Never showing-up

Inconclusive
—-------------

From the new and from the new
Posteric mosaics become full View
Retaliate from the worried kind
Far Far From Home
Befriending a sigh

I guess I was just too wrapped-up
In other things to be myself
I guess I must learn and be more understanding
And be myself

Amongst other things a whisper
Is a quiet move into the night
I saw the outcome before the start
From the new and from the heart

I guess I must learn and be more understanding and be myself
I guess I was just too wrapped-up
In other things to be myself

It's just a matter of dropping everything in
I'm filing it as inconclusive
I was just trying to turn you on not make you laugh
Show you that it's for real

Inconclusive

Follow-up To Choice
----------------------------

All heart and no mind
See how that entails
Its scorsely not mine
Stubborn yet but frail

And I would not
Outstay my welcome
That choice is yours
And I would not
Even mention
A follow-up to choice

All urge but no guts
See how they run
Disclosed and uncut
Could it be my own

And I would not
Outstay my welcome
That choice is yours
And I would not
Even mention
A follow-up to choice

Over your eyes
Brushed through your hair
Misbegotten feelings
You weren't aware
And in your cries
And burning seams
Is the man of your dreams

He's not riding on a white horse
He's not carrying across
He's not overburdened
By solving all of your problems
He's just a man
And you're his life

My Reasoning
-------------------

Try to find
Another way to vividly
Wake to find
All your dreams
They don't mean

I might in be different
I'll visualize
When in an instant
See through Future eyes

Sit back awhile
Look at the window
Sit back and smile
What's smiling back is me

I might be different
I'll visualize
When in an instant
See through Future eyes

Let my mind wander
I wonder if it's mine
My mind's the other
Seemingly the kind
Just be humble
My dad always says

I might be different
I'll visualize
When in an instant
See through Future eyes

My Reasoning is my Demise

One Chance Enough
—--------------------------

You're sick to death
Of everybody telling you
What's in store

You collect your thoughts
And in the midst of it
You're heading for the door

One chance
You're gone
One chance enough

One night
You're wrong
One chance enough

I'm sick and tired of everybody
Telling me what I should do
I realize I can say back to them
The same crap too

You need a sense of solitude
And a vice to cleanse yourself
Like written word on paper
Is best described as
A Clean Self
Is best described as a

Point of Passion
—-------------------

The willingness is there
For the one I only met
Once it was beautiful
But that is not the difference

To whom it is bleating
The glance of you correction
The one which is I
Who stands for your affection

To the Point of Passion
To the Point of Passion
To the Point of Passion
To the Point of Passion

And I can only recognize
The tempting thoughts
That only lie

Delivering tranquility
And too much a-humbling
Alone

The reasons are clear
For the one who is the one
Now it is beautiful and
Couldn’t change no difference

Realize Realove
—--------------------

The one distraction
Is made formerly
One then another

Decisions are all
That I ever brought
Distinguish the one’s
From the others

Realize Realove
Realize Realove

Ageless yearnings for become
I am with you I am one
A pairing too together still
I am with you I am one

A case of matters
Still pervades
I am willing able
But busy

Decisions can’t
All be up to me
My thoughts
Are always
Troubled

BRIDGE:
I am here, frozen, all around me
Screams delight and will be standing
Here forever

I Could Have Been Somebody
------------------------------------------------

Back then
I saw you
Turn away

Then everything
Just passed away

And anytime you called
I just turned away

I Could Have Been Somebody
That was such a long time ago
I Could Have Been Somebody
And I have no interest anymore

The Order of Selection.
-------------------------------------

Way down the order of selection
Turns out the only ones who choose
Pass on the nobodies overlooked
Way down the order of selection

Head of the class
Tries hard not to understand
Been going on for so long
Don't even have recollections
Of the raw authenticity
Of forgotten kids like you

Way down the power of suggestion
You start to stumble for an answer
Way down the order of selection
