Do You Remember

The world is changing so fast
The future’s here at last
But could we ever be - the way we used to be...
Back then
When life was simple and we didn’t have a worry at all
Take a seat inside the hoverbus and plug in the news
Doing homework on our twenty minute cruise
That’s when
We had to work for everything we wanted, not like today
Pushing touchscreens with our fingers, watching seconds tick by
The effort is what made it all worthwhile
It was a beautiful world, a simpler time
A glorious age, old-fashioned and kind
Do you remember the days that are far behind
Robots with wings, gravity guns
The chromium trains would shine in the sun
And where am I now, I used to be number one
Back when
We just ate anything we wanted without gaining a pound
Grabbing food pills by the handful on our way out to play
Now I can’t have more than three a day
Those days
I had a memory so sharp it’s like I never forgot
Now my brain chip’s unsupported, won’t update anymore
Oh how I miss the way it was before
It was a beautiful world, a simpler time
A glorious age, old-fashioned and kind
Do you remember the days that are far behind
Robots with wings, gravity guns
The chromium trains would shine in the sun
And where am I now, I used to be number one
And you
Were there beside me as we wondered what the future would be
Making promises that we had no idea we wouldn’t keep
I think of you sometimes when I can’t sleep
It was a beautiful world, a simpler time
A glorious age, old-fashioned and kind
Do you remember the days that are far behind
Robots with wings, gravity guns
The chromium trains would shine in the sun
And where am I now, I used to be number one
It was a beautiful world, a simpler time
A glorious age, old-fashioned and kind
Do you remember the days that are far behind
Robots with wings, gravity guns
The chromium trains would shine in the sun
And where am I now, I used to be number one
And where am I now, I used to be number one
And where am I now, I used to be number one

(I've Got A) Bad Feeling
02:51
|

Midnight - and I should be asleep but I am
Upright - and even though I tell myself that
It will be all right
I know that I’m a liar
My squad - was looking for some droids from an
Escape pod - we let some go and now I feel like
I’m a fraud
I think that that was them - it was them!
I’ve got a bad feeling yeah a really bad feeling-
I’ve got a bad feeling about this
I’ve got a bad feeling it’s a really bad feeling-
I’ve got a bad feeling about this
Paranoid - But when I heard the Death Star was
Destroyed - I looked it up it said that there were
Two damn droids
Involved in the attack
Can’t stand - Resignation isn’t much of an
Escape plan - Especially when your boss is more
Machine than man
I gotta get away - get away!
I’ve got a bad feeling yeah a really bad feeling-
I’ve got a bad feeling about this
I’ve got a bad feeling it’s a really bad feeling-
I’ve got a bad feeling about this
Why did I second guess?
Now my career’s a mess
I was so wrong
“Move along, move along”
I know - I’ll tell the Rebels I was on their
Side so - I recognized the droids but then I
Let them go
They’ve gotta let me in - LET ME IN!
I’ve got a bad feeling yeah a really bad feeling-
I’ve got a bad feeling about this
I’ve got a bad feeling it’s a really bad feeling-
I’ve got a bad feeling about this
I’ve got a bad feeling it's a really bad feeling-
I’ve got a bad feeling about this
I’ve got a bad feeling yeah a really bad feeling-
I’ve got a bad feeling about this

Make Us Room
04:13
|

|
Drifting Sinking in the dark
Open eyes will catch the spark
Tuning Filtering the air
Something is that wasn’t there
And we all fall down
Whispering Scratching at the ear
Messages that reappear
Seeking Searching for a way
Passages in DNA
And we all fall
“Make us room All is well
Make us room and spin the spell
Make us room We’re coming home
Make us room We’ve been alone”
Reaching Grasping through the wire
Tinderbox before the fire
Teasing Leaving questions blind
Pretty words for tired minds
And we all fall
“Make us room All is well
Make us room and spin the spell
Make us room We’re coming home
Make us room We’ve been alone”
Sudden Seething in the sky
Catch the corners of the eye
Turning Gazing from a height
Crouch and shiver in their sight
And we all fall
“Make us room All is well
Make us room and spin the spell
Make us room We’re coming home
Make us room We’ve been alone”
The earth our worthless child
Now feed and bleed it dry
A thousand vows to serve
Return... to burn... and sigh

One more episode - just one more
I’ve never seen this one before
I know it’s late but I can’t wait
To find out where this goes
One more episode
New show on Netflix - let’s give it a shot
We can always bail if it isn’t that hot
The pilot was good enough, but they usually are
If the story’s not strong then it won’t get far
We’re still hanging in there at the end of the day
Makes us feel things in a different way
Ups and downs and highs and lows
That’s the way the good ones go
We’re not ready to turn off the tv so
One more episode - just one more
I’ve never seen this one before
I know it’s late but I can’t wait
To find out where this goes
One more episode
I didn’t expect that - well there’s a surprise
I’ll be so upset if anyone dies
We’re at the point now where we usually quit
But we’re having fun so we’re sticking with it
This is so much better than I thought it would be
Think I’d like to keep it, would you split it with me
Ups and downs and highs and lows
That’s the way the good ones go
We’re not ready to turn off the tv so
One more episode - just one more
I’ve never seen this one before
I know it’s late but I can’t wait
To find out where this goes
One more episode - just one more
I’ve never seen this one before
I know it’s late but I can’t wait

Let’s go surfin’ - surfin’ the emotional wave
Early in the mornin’ it’s time to rise
And paddle out into the day
Sometimes you see it before it hits
Comin’ from miles away
Sometimes you’re not so lucky and it takes you by surprise
So grit your teeth and try to be brave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Here comes depression and anger too
A little anxiety comin’ at you
Self-doubt’s gonna be right behind
Hopelessness breakin’ over your mind
Happy and sad and good and bad
Ridin’ on top is totally rad
Let’s go surfin’ - surfin’ the emotional wave
The first time you’re surfin’ you’re gonna fall
That’s really just the name of the game
It’s hard to guess which way they’ll break
Cause no two waves are the same
But sooner or later you’ll get on top and ride ‘em back to shore
So grit your teeth and try to be brave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Here comes depression and anger too
A little anxiety comin’ at you
Self-doubt’s gonna be right behind
Hopelessness breakin’ over your mind
Happy and sad and good and bad
Ridin’ on top is totally rad
Let’s go surfin’ - surfin’ the emotional wave
At therapy sessions they’re learnin’ the tricks
Of how to ride ‘em just like a pro
Doin’ their mental exercises
Gettin’ stronger gettin’ ready to go
Self-care is your surf wax so you don’t get wiped out
Now grit your teeth and try to be brave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Here comes depression and anger too
A little anxiety comin’ at you
Self-doubt’s gonna be right behind
Hopelessness breakin’ over your mind
Happy and sad and good and bad
Ridin’ on top is totally rad
Let’s go surfin’ - surfin’ the emotional wave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Surfin’ the emotional wave
Surfin’ the emotional wave

Face The Strange
03:45

Face the strange - Unpredictable
What’s that now - like never before
Turn around - that’s incredible
Take it all and ask for more
Face the strange - Unpredictable
What’s that now - like never before
Turn around - that’s incredible
Face the strange and open the door
Day to day
Always saming
Never change at all
Heart to heart
Needing saving
Spring into the fall
Eye to eye
With unknowing
Give a little kiss
Toe to toe
Equal footing
Never felt like this
Face the strange - Unpredictable
What’s that now - like never before
Turn around - that’s incredible
Take it all and ask for more
Face the strange - Unpredictable
What’s that now - like never before
Turn around - that’s incredible
Face the strange and open the door
Back to back
With a mystery
Never lets you down
Hand to hand
With the common
Turn the tables round
One two three
Four five seven
Eight nine ten thirteen
Too too too
Much like heaven
Turn around be seen
Face the strange - Unpredictable
What’s that now - like never before
Turn around - that’s incredible
Take it all and ask for more
Face the strange - Unpredictable
What’s that now - like never before
Turn around - that’s incredible
Face the strange and open the door

Walrus Roy

Hanging with my friends at the coffee place
Bored beyond belief by the human race
Sandy said that maybe we should read a book
Then something started stirring in the sitting nook
No one can believe what is before their eyes
A sneaker-wearing walrus of enormous size
Before we can protest we’re hustled out the door
Onto a bus that we had never seen before
Get yourself ready it’s Walrus Roy
The world’s original party boy
Looking mighty sharp in his corduroy
It’s time to have a really good time
With Walrus Roy
He drove us to the playground at the middle school
At first we thought it must have been an April Fool
Cause who did we see standing up against the wall?
The Lakers for a pickup game of basketball
Playing with the pandas at the petting zoo
Asking our barista for an interview
Putting plaid pajamas on the modern art
Building tilting towers till they fall apart
Get yourself ready it’s Walrus Roy
The world’s original party boy
Coming with ideas that you’ll enjoy
It’s time to have a really good time
With Walrus Roy
Portia asked him questions tryin to figure out
What this walrus party really was about
She asked him “How do you appear just like a ghost?”
The walrus said “I go where I am needed most”
We went to karaoke and ate Chinese food
Then ran into the rain cause we were in the mood
The sun came out and suddenly our friend was gone
Like a supernatural phenomenon
Get yourself ready it’s Walrus Roy
The world’s original party boy
Stomping on the troubles of the hoi polloi
It’s time to have a really good time
With Walrus Roy
We looked around in vain for Walrus Roy until
Somebody pointed out that he was with us still
You may not get a visit but I’m sure you’ll see
The spirit of the walrus is in you and me
Get yourself ready it’s Walrus Roy
The world’s original party boy
Come on hitch your wagon to the real McCoy
It’s time to have a really good time
“it’s unforgettable!”
It’s time to have a really good time
“it’s not regrettable!”
It’s time to have a really good time
With Walrus Roy

One More Happy Hour
03:47
|

Well my boots are full of sand
And my fanfar’s in my hand
As the band tries to lighten the mood
Though our battle is losing
Cause the patrons keep boozing
To just pack it in would be seen as rude
The barman works my nerves
But the audience he serves
Is a dreadful menagerie
Though the band is wailing
I can feel their will failing
But I can’t let them down they look up to me
Just a few more songs to go
Though nobody wants to hear more
One more night in this dusty cantina
One more Happy Hour
The kloo horn’s sounding flat
And someday I’ll get to that
But I can’t seem to manage tonight
Cause my head’s full of smoke
And our paycheck’s a joke
And now some pushy drunk lost his arm in a fight
Well we used to top the bill
But our luck went as it will
So Canto Bight’s only a dream
Now we play where we can
You can see Figrin D’an
At a bar in Mos Eisley on dry Tatooine
Just a few more songs to go
Though nobody wants to hear more
One more night in this dusty cantina
One more Happy Hour
Well it’s closing time again
And they’re sweeping up the end
Of another drunk night on the town
As the band’s packing up
I stare in my cup
And try to remember where life let me down
Just a few more songs to go
Though nobody wants to hear more
One more night in this dusty cantina
One more Happy Hour
One more Happy Hour

Don't Turn Back
03:18

You’ve been so young for so long
Been hiding in the safety of your dreams
Your theatrical scenes
Til one day a wish made
Your ego into something far too real
Now you’re part of a deal with devils
So - you let go
Now you know
What it’s like to be a
Star in someone else’s sky
Don’t stop don’t give in
Don’t let those goblins win
This moment changes everything
You can step off the stage
You can escape your cage
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
It’s hopeless, makes no sense
It’s not what you expected it to be
Can you ever break free
He’s not like a white knight
He tricks you and you’re saying it’s not fair
But what do you compare it to now
So - you let go
Now you know
What it’s like to be a
Star in someone else’s sky
Don’t stop don’t give in
Don’t let those goblins win
This moment changes everything
You can step off the stage
You can escape your cage
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
The center - you enter
You face him and it’s so apparent now
You know he has no power over you
Don’t stop don’t give in
Don’t let those goblins win
This moment changes everything
You can step off the stage
You can escape your cage
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King
Don’t turn back
You can beat the King

Everything I've Done
05:04

Do you like the kingdom I have made here for you
As you make your way
Every misstep brings us closer together
I can’t look away
Under the law that I lay down for you
I would be your slave
I gave you freedom so you could defy me
Haven’t I been brave
This is what you wanted
Everything I’ve done I’ve done for you
Said your right words, when I heard
I knew that I could be the scary thing
I knew that I would be your Goblin King
Why are you making me do this to you
Don’t you feel ashamed
All that I am is the way that you made me
I won’t take the blame
I have turned this whole world upside down
I’ve worn myself thin
I ask for so little - just let me rule you
And your reign begins
Look at what you’ve done and here I am
Terrifying Tyrant Tantalizing
Everything you’ve dreamed of in your fondest nightmares
Stands before you now
This is what you wanted
Everything I’ve done I’ve done for you
Said your right words, when I heard
I knew that I could be the scary thing
I knew that I would be your Goblin King
Asking for favors then turning away
You can be mean
Why would you be so unsympathetic
You would be my queen
This is what you wanted
Everything I’ve done I’ve done for you
