You Can’t Wait For Time
Sitting all alone in the dark
You can see the sun
Feeling ever so far apart
I guess you always knew
That I felt this way for you
But you can’t wait for time
Running on but only so far
In a world of blame
Takes me back to see where you are
And if you say it’s true whey do I belong to you
You can’t wait for time
Laughing in the hallway while the preacher stood and read
Trying to uncover all the secrets of the dead
And if you say it’s true
Then I’ll fall in love with you
But you can’t wait for time
You face a world of strangers even though you’d like to be
Among the ones who walked out only wanting to be free
I guess you always knew that I felt this way for you
But you can’t wait for time
Nighttime
At nighttime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
They’re looking at me, all the people to see.
And when I set my eyes on you
You look like a kitty
And when you’re in the moon
Oh you look so pretty
Caught a glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
Glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
I’m walking down the freezing street
Scarf goes out behind
You said, “Get them away”
Please don’t say a word
“Get me out of here
Get me out of here
I hate it here
Get me out of here”
At nighttime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
Glanced in your eyes and fell through the skies
Dance in your eyes and fell through the skies

Long Time Missing
The people all around said they don’t understand
The wonder kid’s gone and some one will have their say
But he worked hard for yesterday
He came upon the scene with a definite plan
I know about the woman who wished upon a star
They said he’d never get that far
I read the news that shook the world apart
now I know
You’ve been a long time missing
And the world won’t listen
To the long time missing in your life
The balladeer man with a ward from the wings
is selling his soul for so many things we knew
but never dreamed they would come true
The girl on the phone said she’d go it alone
Waking up the world to find what she always knew
Will leave you lost and lonely too
Got his number it’s so hard to ring
even though
You’ve been a long time missing
by your own admission
There’s a long time missing in your life that we found
Now I lay me down
Tomorrow’s gone forever
Like the weather
Maybe never will our dreams be found
I listened to the kids and I thought I could hear
A thousand and one tiny voices ringing clear
Another day in your career
Around the corner there’s a newer breed
Even though I thought you would succeed
You’ve been a long time missing
by your own admission
There’s a long time missing in your life
You’ve been a long time missing
now the world will listen
To the long time missing in your life
Places That Are Gone
Kill Your Sons
All your two-bit psychiatrists are giving you electro shock
They say, they let you live at home, with mom and dad
Instead of mental hospital
But every time you tried to read a book
You couldn’t get to page 17
‘Cause you forgot, where you were
So you couldn’t even read
Don’t you know, they’re gonna kill your sons
Don’t you know, they’re gonna kill, kill your sons
They’re gonna kill, kill your sons
Until they run run run run run run run run away
Mom informed me on the phone
She didn’t know what to do about dad
Took an axe and broke the table
Aren’t you glad you’re married
And sister, she got married on the island
And her husband takes the train
He’s big and he’s fat and he doesn’t even have a brain
They’re gonna kill your sons
Don’t you know, they’re gonna kill, kill your sons
Don’t you know, they’re gonna kill, kill your sons
Until they run away
Creedmore treated me very good
But Paine Whitney was even better
And when I flipped on PHC
I was so sad I didn’t even get a letter
All of the drugs, that we took, it really was lots of fun
But when they shoot you up with thorizene on crystal smoke
You choke like a son of a gun
Don’t you know, they’re gonna kill your sons
Don’t you know, they’re gonna kill, kill your sons
They’re gonna kill, kill your sons
Until they run run run run run run run run away

Never Really Been Gone
Never believed much in apparitions
Or any confrontations
With someone I know who once went away
Calling all the ghost inside me
Or anyone to guide me
All along the way
I’ve fallen through
Throw your heartaches away
When you’re here I wanna stay
No I know you’ve never really been gone
There was a time when I felt so jaded
And very overrated
There’s a picture I’ve just begun to see
Just a bell but I know I hear you
And though I long to see you
I know that I’m not alone anymore
So call my name in the wind
Now I know just where you’ve been
When I say you’ve never really been gone
Yeah I feel alright to be here
Inside we are two
Everything is getting clearer
I know it’s true.
In a silent night I wonder
If I’ll make it through
If it’s just the spell I’m under
Please say it’s you
So clear away all the devastation
Cause there’s a new elation
We’re riding on to bluer skies
Throw your heartaches away
When you’re here I wanna stay
Now I know you’ve never really been gone
Yeah I know you’ve never really been gone.
