Battle Cry 04:06
Spring like fall - fall like spring Sometimes I get confused Seems like all my opening lines have already been used The weathers changin as I look at the sky There's nothin you can do about that But I still wish that we could give it a try I wish I knew where you're at So I'm lookin for a path and I'm lookin for a sign I'm lookin for a new way to go I'm out here and it seems like a long way to go Time is starting to show And I'm looking for a way and I'm looking for a sign Direction that I haven't yet found So please won't you please please tell me why you can't put the battle cry down Put the Battle Cry Down I can't tell you why the moon is so bright And who's to say what's gonna happen tonight? Between seasons and whirlin around The sky rushin and it's calling the ground The night is fallin in a different way There's something in the words that you're not eager to say A new beginning is crashing on down It's getting dark here in fantasy town Chorus

Invisible 03:49
Seven years gone I was never more present Seven years I went a different way But I just couldn’t keep on running this same game When it all came down there was nobody that knew my name I made the break in the wire I had the front page news desire But the neighborhood didn’t stay the same When it all came down there was nobody that knew my name Well, I was found on a hill in the trees I was captured and brought to my knees But the charges wouldn’t stick on this slight frame When it all came down there was nobody that knew my name Invisible she said to me You’re nothing like you seem to be A question mark and who knows why Invisible to my good eye Seven more times I was tried and found Seven times I could have got away You’re the one you’re the one is all they’re saying There were seven bells ringing in the chapel in the morning rain Invisible she said to me You’re nothing like you seem to be A question mark and who knows why Invisible to my good eye

Mary Bliss Parsons was sent off to Boston But her husband had money so she returned again Rosa Lee was never seen was never seen How and when how and when Did they come in the quiet time just before the dawn? Did they take her from the garden? Did you know she was gone? I told you I told you You can't go back there It just gets darker And Away the Wind Blows I told you I told you We got off track there And Now that everybody know Anticipation Grows Well we were coming back from the first job, and easin our pain When we heard we couldn't talk we couldnt talk, could it happen again Two years on and the memory lingers Is it coincidence or somebody with a plan? Did she know did she know did she know Just who stayed and who ran... I told you I told you You can't go back there It just gets darker And Away the Wind Blows I told you I told you We got off track there And Now that everybody know Anticipation Grows

State Line 03:16
State Line Here it comes again I got some people lookin' for me And they ain't my friends They ain't foolin' around You just wouldn't believe They got a real bad message I don't wanna receive I don't wanna receive State Line I'm gettin' restless and quick I'm gonna take another swallow And then I'm hittin' the stick I ain't makin' no time on cruise control I got a bad reputation but I just gotta roll I just gotta roll I feel the pull of the exits and them soft sweet ramps But the far away glow of some faded tail lamps Callin' me to catch em' and I think that I can Cause sittin' goin' crazy ain't a part of my plan State Line Here it comes again I got some people lookin' for me And they ain't my friends

How could you know me? Reading the things that I write everyday. What do I say? In between doing things that we do that would threaten our lives Like bees in their hives But I never wasted time with who did what and when I need some Analog Friends Time moving slowly Something we did but it won't end with you But what did I do? Suddenly quiet Somebody else but I thought it was you In all white and blue And it doesn't mean I have to buck the latest trends I need some Analog Friends Everyone shows me Things that they do when they're sitting around Or painting the town I need some Analog Friends

I asked my love to take a walk Just a little walk along the way And as we walked along we talked about our coming wedding day Just only say that you'll be mine And in no other arms entwine Down beside where the waters flow Down by the Banks of the Ohio I took her by her pretty white hand I laid her down that bank of sand Pushed her in where I knew she'd drown And I watched her as she floated down Just only say that you'll be mine And in no other arms entwine Down beside where the waters flow Down by the Banks of the Ohio Was comin' home 'tween twelve and one So sorry for the deed I'd done I killed the girl I love, you see 'cause she wouldn't marry me Just only say that you'll be mine And in our home we'll happy be Down beside where the waters flow Down by the Banks of the Ohio
