Never felt so hopeless / Thought I made the grade / Looming shadows of all that debt / I can’t repay / Think about the old town / The one I left behind / Remember all the happy people / How they all seemed blind / They call me Doc / But I’ve dropped out / Got no hopes / Only doubts / Spent ten years / In ivory towers / A cynic’s tears / Won’t keep the power on / The dark is setting in / Keep the power on / How am I supposed to live / Without the power on / Is there no way left to win / Got to power on / Dream about the perfect girl / The one that got away / Doubt that she’d have me now / Without a penny to my name / It’s a great big world and folks / Got it harder than me / But I’ve learned just enough / To see how they bleed / They call me Doc / But I’ve dropped out / Got no hopes / Only doubts / Spent ten years / In ivory towers / A cynic’s tears / Won’t keep the power on / The dark is setting in / Keep the power on / Is there no way left to win / Without the power on / How am I supposed to live / Without the power on / Got to power on / Got to power on / End up with a joe job / If I’m lucky enough / Not much dirt on these hands / Soft to the touch / Used to talk for hours / About philosophy / Now my family they tune me out / Turn on the TV / They call me Doc / But I’ve dropped out / Got no hopes / Only doubts / Spent ten years / In ivory towers / A cynic’s tears / Won’t keep the power on / The dark is setting in / Keep the power on / How am I supposed to live / Without the power on / Is there no way left to win / Got to power on / Got to power on / Got to power on //

Here we both are in a cop car / Guess we got carried away / Yes I’m in love with your daughter / Been three years to the day / The way we feel / Ain't about to change / And I know / We caused you pain / The pain / The pain / The pain / Inside / I know that you hate me / Inside / But I hope we can change that with / Time / And maybe we’ll learn to / Be kind / And maybe we’ll learn to / Be kind / Do you recall all the reasons / Why you pushed me down the stairs / Or why I smashed your window / Tell you now that I don’t care / We got a chance / To make her happy / Ain’t no sense / That she feel badly / So badly / Inside / I know that you hate me / Inside / But I hope we can change that with / Time / And maybe we’ll learn to / Inside / I know that you hate me / Inside / But I hope we can change that with / Time / And maybe we’ll learn to / Be kind / And maybe we’ll learn to / Be kind / And maybe we’ll learn to / Be kind / So here we are in a cop car / Guess we got carried away //

I’m going for a while / Lord I’ll miss your smile / Oh you know it’s so damn tough / It’s just so many miles / I know that you’re the one / And now it haunts my mind / It follows me like a hungry mutt / At a buddhist shrine / And those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you / And those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you / Think about you everyday / From Yangshuo to Taipei / I’ve been trying to enjoy myself / But it’s much too far away / Dream about where you might be while I’m / Walking down an empty street / Ancient ruins lie all around / And I’m feeling incomplete / Because those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you / And those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you / I envy every monk / Who finds their inner peace / This loneliness it barks at me / Wild without a leash / Wish it were time to go / Can’t wait to head back home / I’ve seen the seven wonders now / But I’ve seen them all alone / And those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you / And those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you / And those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you / And those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you / And those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you / And those temple dogs keep hounding me / Until I find my way back to you //

Maritime Blues

There are pirates on the ocean of my mind / I don’t want them I can’t fight them all the time / Want to change the course and leave them all behind / Let them drift away with the tides / Seas are stormy there’s a dark cloud up above / These are bad times miss the good times miss the love / Want to get away away from all the grime / Go somewhere the sun always shines / Hey there captain take me somewhere new / Spent long enough with these maritime blues / Oh these maritime blues / Turn this ship around head on down the coast / Let me see the faces of those I love the most / I’m done with these maritime blues / Hey there captain take me somewhere new / Spent long enough with these maritime blues / Oh these maritime blues / Turn this ship around head on down the coast / Let me see the faces of those I love the most / I’m done with these maritime blues / They bombard me hit me harder everyday / Cut my heartstrings leave me broken feeling pain / Not done fighting yet the cannon balls will fly / I’ll find my piece of treasure this life / Hey there captain take me somewhere new / Spent long enough with these maritime blues / Oh these maritime blues / Turn this ship around head on down the coast / Let me see the faces of those I love the most / I’m done with these maritime blues / Hey there captain take me somewhere new / Spent long enough with these maritime blues / Oh these maritime blues / Turn this ship around head on down the coast / Let me see the faces of those I love the most / I’m done with these maritime blues / I’m done with these maritime blues //

No fishin’ in Motown / No fishin’ in Motown / No fishin’ in Motown / When the road gets paved / Down there in Detroit / Folks hit hard times / Down there in Detroit / Ain’t no kind of peace of mind / Lord knows there’s work to be done / But the jobs they flew away / City’s got it’s hands full now / And leaves roads unpaved / Road crew they dug a hole / Couple years rolled by / Hole filled into a pond / They just turned a blind eye / Little Johnny released his goldfish / To see if they would spawn / Told the kids up and down the block / And they all played along / And the kids / Kids are fishin' in Motown / Kids start fishin' in Motown / Kids are fishin' in Motown / Every night and day / Down at the deep hole / By the edge of the road / Down at the deep hole kids / Got their fishing poles / Always something to catch there you know / Carp and blue gill jumping all day / Enjoy it before the man comes / Takes it all away / No more fishin’ in Motown / No more fishin’ in Motown / No fishin’ in Motown / When the road gets paved / No more fishin’ in Motown / No more fishin’ in Motown / No fishin’ in Motown / When the road gets paved / Reporters came from downtown / To see what’s going on / Blew the whistle at 6PM / Became the talk of the town / City Hall got all worked up / What happens if the kids fell in / Told the road crew to head on back / Fill the whole thing in / No more fishin’ in Motown / No more fishin’ in Motown / No fishin’ in Motown / When the road gets paved / No more fishin’ in Motown / No more fishin’ in Motown / No fishin’ in Motown / When the road gets paved / No more fishin’ in Motown / No more fishin’ in Motown / No fishin’ in Motown / When the road gets paved //

Carve My Name

The day we met a roadside bar in Rome / Just a stop for me for you a second home / You said to me it’s not good to drink alone / Stay a while and then we'll hit the road / The only seat your piano bench we shared / The old upright could have used repair / But you played away as if it wasn't there / And I fell for you completely unprepared / So I'll carve my name in your piano / Hoping you remember me / Think about me when you play a song / Across those old-time ivory keys / We spent the day trading melodies / I'd play a song and you'd play one for me / I sing the bass and you the harmony / But as the sun went down it was time for me to leave / So I'll carve my name in your piano / Hoping you remember me / Think about me when you play a song / Across those old-time ivory keys / So I'll carve my name in your piano / Hoping you remember me / Think about me when you play a song / Across those old-time ivory keys / So here I am standing in the dark / Rail pass in hand and soon my train departs / Then I think of you and start to fall apart / Wondering if I might have missed the mark / So I'll carve my name in your piano / Hoping you remember me / Think about me when you play a song / Across those old-time ivory keys / So I'll carve my name in your piano / Hoping you remember me / Think about me when you play a song / Across those old-time ivory keys / So I'll carve my name in your piano / Hoping you remember me / Think about me when you play a song / Across those old-time ivory keys //
