It's My Day 03:49
IT'S MY DAY It’s my day Watch me glow From my shadow I was never one to suffer I somehow lacked the courage Born with a yellow streak I’m Monday’s child, a suburban cocoon I never had the guts But I always dreamed the glory Someday take the greatest leap I’m Monday’s child with nothing to lose And it’s my day I’ll take a piece of the sun And it’s my day I’ll cherish it then swallow it whole ‘Cause it’s my day today See me shine, leave behind my shadow I packed away all my unwanteds I left no note of specified reason I told myself the edge was my best friend It took all my stregnth as I leaped for the sun I’m Monday’s child and I’m breaking the blue This Monday’s child has nothing to lose And it’s my day I’ll take a piece of the sun And it’s my day I’ll cherish it then swallow it whole ‘Cause it’s my day today See me shine, leave behind my shadow I will shine

Break the Night Tonight, let's pretend we're young And dance, dance until we fall Do you remember where we first kissed Come with me and young we'll be and age we never Tire or sleep Just make believe we're seventeen We will break the night Love, there's fire left inside Let's run before we change our minds Do you remember when we first kissed? Come with me and young we'll be and age we never Tire or sleep Just make believe we're seventeen We will break the night

MY EMPTY BODY I hear the wind coming It’s been so long I’m tired of out running The wind so long I feel no sorrow I feel the chemical I feel the life umbilical letting go I feel so mystical I feel so beautiful I feel a great light running up and down my spine Shut this body down And release this soul The bells are ringing Celebrate this body going down I’m more than ready for the wind Come down and shake me from this skin I feel no sorrow I feel the chemical I feel the life umbilical letting go I feel so mystical I feel so beautiful I feel a great light running up and down my spine Shut this body down And release this soul The bells are ringing Celebrate this body going down I’m more than ready for the wind (I’m more than ready to shake this body) Come down and shake me from this skin

Rocket Fuel 04:00
ROCKET FUEL I’ll be the rocket fuel That breaks your tether free From your mother’s womb To fly the Midnight Sea I’ll be the rocket fuel Count down my sweet child Flip the switch and then wave good-bye Don’t let gravity be your destiny It’s the only thing That ties you to the ground I’ll be your parachute No need to be afraid Set your mind on the stars And never, ever, ever, ever look away I’ll be your parachute Count down my sweet child Flip the switch and then wave good-bye Don’t let gravity be your destiny It’s the only thing That ties you to the ground Far below we’ll be watching As your rocket streaks the sky Far below we’ll be waiting For your rocket to come around Count down my sweet child Flip the switch and then wave good-bye Don’t let gravity be your destiny It’s the only thing—the only thing It’s the only thing That ties you to the ground

Prove to You 04:00
PROVE TO YOU In a room upstairs on a hardwood floor there’s Pain on its knees And that Pain bending on the floor—Begging please, begging please In a room upstairs on a hardwood floor there’s pain on its knees And that pain bending on the floor—Begging please, begging please Begging please, begging please One more chance all I need One more chance to prove to you what I can be One more chance all I need One more chance to prove to you what I can be Prove to you what I can be - prove to you In a room upstairs on a hardwood floor there’s Love holding Pain And Love has heard this song before—Baby please, baby please In a room upstairs on a hardwood floor there’s Love holding Pain And Love has heard this song before—Baby please, baby please, Baby please, baby please One more chance all I need One more chance to prove to you what I can be One more chance all I need One more chance to prove to you what I can be Prove to you what I can be - prove to you Prove to you what I can be That Pain is me… One more chance all I need One more chance to prove to you what I can be One more chance all I need One more chance to prove to you what I can be One more chance all I need One more chance to prove to you what I can be Prove to you what I can be - prove to you, prove to you Prove to you, prove to you

More 03:31
MORE Beauty fills me She warms my weary bones Feels like dreaming I float in furry robes Leave me in the arms of this haze I’m lost in myself I love everything Just one more last taste That will take me through tomorrow When I’ll want more Beauty’s wanting She’s aching in my bones Crying for me “Come fill your lover’s clothes” Help me ease the grip of this haze I’m not sure of myself I’m not sure of anything Just one more last taste That gets me through tomorrow When I’ll want more Save me from the grip of this haze I can’t save myself I can’t save anything Just on more last taste That gets me to tomorrow When I’ll want more
