CALLING ALL ANGELS
My Private Nation #1

I need a sign, to let me know you're here;
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere.
I need to know, that things are gonna look up;
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup.

When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head,
When you can feel the world shake from the words that are said.

And I'm, calling all angels
And I'm, calling all you angels

And I won't give up, if you don't give up
I won't give up, if you don't give up
I won't give up, if you don't give up
I won't give up, if you don't give up

I need a sign to let me know you're here;
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear.
I want a reason for the way things have to be;
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me.

And I'm, calling all angels.
And I'm, calling all you angels.

When children have to play inside, so they don't disappear;
While private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don't talk for years.
And football teams are kissing Queens and losing sight of having dreams,
In a world where what we want is only what we want until it’s ours

And I'm, calling all angels.
And I'm, calling all you angels.

And I'm, (I won't give up if you don't give up)
Calling all angels (I won't give up if you don't give up).
And I'm, (I won't give up if you don't give up)
Calling all you angels (I won't give up if you don't give up).

Calling all you Angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
Calling all you Angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)
Calling all you Angels (I won't give up if you don't give up)

DROPS OF JUPITER
Drops of Jupiter #3

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June

But tell me
Did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me
Did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were
Looking for yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation
She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as
Plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man
Who is too afraid to fly
So he never did land

Tell me
Did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance
Along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were
Looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance
Five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had and me

Tell me
Did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance Along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

Tell me
Did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me
Did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were
Looking for yourself out there

And did you finally get the chance to dance
Along the light of day
And did you fall for a shooting star
Fall for a shooting star
And are you lonely by yourself out there

FREE
Train #5

Staring at the dark again
You left your silhouette upon my pillow
Right inside the night
I'm waiting for the light
Seems like I'm in the middle

Workin for something that I can't touch
And sometimes can't even believe in - woh
Cradled by the hands of fate
The faith that sometimes wraps around too tight - so tight

They call me free
But I call me a fool
They call me free
But I call me a fool

Well I look back at April
But she won't look back at me
No, no, no, no
So I pray in May for June to stay
But she just came
To wash into the sea - away

They call me free
But I call me a fool
They call me free
But I call me a fool

Slipped down to Mexico
Started messin with her yellow afro
Slipped down behind the sheets
Started talkin bout Pistol Pete
Slipped down to the African
Started talkin bout what she can do
Well here we are again
Back where we started
Slipped down to the dark again
You left your silhouette on my pillow - hey
Well I'm right inside the night
I'm waitin for the light
Seems like I'm in the
Seems like I'm always in the middle

They call me free
They call me free
Free
But I call me a

HOMESICK
Train #4

So your tired of wakin' up on empty
You left for something that ain't real
So you think a couple of familiar faces
Is gonna turn it all around

You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
Where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen
Or somethin' better
Where they remember your name

Ain't it good to think about the weather
Doesn't seem to be time for that no more
It's hard to hear when you're busy sayin' what you want said
Well what you want said, it ain't clear

You wanna be where they still open doors for you
It's not hard for them to remember you at all
They light your cigarette and tell their friends
You used to love them
Where they remember your name

More forgiveness
More time away from feelin' like you do today
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin' this way

It's easy when you laugh
Reminds you of you
It's easy when it's easy
It still ain't easy at all

So you're tired of wakin' up on empty
You left for something that ain't right
It ain't right, ain't right no

You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
Where they remember your name
They think that you are some beauty queen
Or somethin' better
Where they remember your name

More forgiveness
More time away from feelin' like you do today
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin' like you do today

Babe you gettin' better
Babe you gettin' better
Babe you gettin' better

More forgiveness
More forgiveness
More forgiveness
More time away from feelin' this way

I AM
Train #2

I never been on a railroad, as many times as they pass me by
I never crashed in the desert or seen a rodeo
I don't know much about the world wars or Vietnam
I've yet to read about Uncle Tom
Never climbed a real rock or seen Colorado

Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be
Hey

I never had a day where money didn't get in my way
I never listened to much Elvis
I can't remember a warm December

Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be
Hey

Cause I'm here for my sanity sanity
I am here for you
I'm here for your fantasy sanity
I am here
I am

Am I the son I think I am
Am I the friend I think I am
Am I the man I think I wanna be

Cause I'm here for my sanity sanity
I am here for you
Whether or not I'm walkin in
Whether or not I'm walkin out
I'm always here for you

IF YOU LEAVE
Train #3

Sweet dreams from Texaco
And I know your mind is on its way to Mexico
Sweet Jesus is on his way
To take you on his way down
You get your fill of what you like
And you fill your head with what you might
Want yourself to be
When you're ready

But if you leave
It's gonna get a little easier
To break down
And if you leave
It's gonna get a little bit easier
For you to break down

My new dress is your new way out
My new way is your new dress
And you look fine
But your new belief is my regret
And my regret leaves you to believe
That we have found the line

And if you leave
Take me along
Anywhere is ok
And if you leave
Take me along
Anywhere is ok

Think back and you can feel me movin through you
It's easy when you try
Think back and you can feel me
Well you won't feel me
You can't feel me if you leave

And if you leave
It's gonna get a little easier
For me to breakdown
And if you leave
If you leave
If you leave
If you leave

You won't feel me

MEET VIRGINIA
Train #1

She doesn't own a dress
Her hair is always a mess
If you catch her stealin', she won't confess
She's beautiful
She smokes a pack a day
Oh wait, that's me but anyway
She doesn't care a thing about that, hey
She thinks I'm beautiful

Meet Virginia

She never compromises
Loves babies and surprises
Wears high heels when she exercises
Ain't that beautiful

Meet Virginia

(Chorus 1)
Well she wants to be the Queen
Then she thinks about her scene
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna be the queen

Her daddy wrestles alligators
Mama works on carburators
Her brother is a fine mediator
For the President
Well here she is again on the phone
Just like me hates to be alone
We just like to sit at home
And rip on the President

Meet Virginia

(Chorus 2)
Well she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna live this life

She only drinks coffee at Midnight
When the moment is not right Her timing is quite
Unusual
You see her confidence is tragic
But her intuition magic
And the shape of her body
Unusual

Meet Virginia
I can't wait to
Meet Virginia
Yea

Chorus 1 and 2
