Dark City Streets (free) 04:16
lyrics
download
I'm driving at midnight; The glow of the streetlights is shining down. I'm dreaming about the day That I can leave this town; And head out on the open road Leaving behind These dark city streets, Where the sun's blotted out by the smog. I don't want to stay here, I don't want to stay here at all. Don't want to remember, But I won't forget in a thousand years. And I won't go anywhere If I don't get out of here; And head out on the open road Leaving behind These dark city streets, Where the sun's blotted out by the smog. I don't want to stay here, I don't want to stay here at all. Maybe I will find a better place, Somewhere I can see a friendly face... These dark city streets, these dark city streets, These dark city streets, these dark city streets.

Wallace the Wizard's Magical Tea (free) 04:21
lyrics
download
Wallace the wizard offered me An electrical scone and some magical tea. It would have been rude to tell him no, So I said, "I'll take some for the road." I ate the tea and I drank the scone, And in a moment I was gone, Floating in a silver dream, Talking to a custard cream. Butter knife and stirring spoon, Lily sun and lilac moon, Sandwiches that dance and sing, And lots of other awful things. (Humorous chatter)

Hall of Mirrors (free) 03:27
lyrics
download
One sunny summer Sunday at a local city park, I walked on through a doorway to a place that was rather dark. I felt my way as best I could along the wall, Desperately trying not to fall. Then off into the distance, I saw a shape appear, And as I walked toward it, I felt a strange fear. Matching every step I took, in perfect time, I saw its face and saw that it was mine. Hall of mirrors, get me out of here! Hall of mirrors, I want to disappear! I turned around so much, I put my head into a spin, I couldn't get my bearings in the room that I was in. All around I saw myself, a hundred clones, All the time, I was alone. I tripped upon my shoelace, went crashing through the wall, I found myself outside again, reeling from my fall. Maybe I'll go back one day to the hall of mirrors, It's the only way to face my fears. Hall of mirrors, what am I doing here? Hall of mirrors, help me disappear!

After the End (free) 04:22
lyrics
download
The note that you gave me still sits on your chair, I can't bear to throw it away. When I find time, I'll drop you a line, but not today. For today it still pains me to look at your note, Like a crack on a well-loved guitar. Your printing is rough, did you write with a trembling hand? Did you sign it right there, walk down the stairs, Leave me without realizing I care about you? I loved you, I lost you, I let you down, Didn't try, it just happened somehow. You walked away, what could I do, what could I say? Now you've left me alone with a scar on my heart, That will never heal fully again. There's a cloud hanging over the place in the world where I stand. Alone in the rain, feeling the pain, Wishing that you would come back here again, To tell me you're changing your mind. I dreamed about you once again last night, I woke, and you vanished in the morning light. I wonder sometimes how you're doing right now, Do you think about me the same way? What we went through, I don't want to lose, Though it hurts, after the end.
