Acid Century 03:58
Turn around and hear the sounds You think you'd better get away You’re speeding up going nowhere fast Yet you dream of a brighter day. So you move into the city get a dead-end job Waste your paycheck smoking packs of cheap cigars But soon you realize nothing’s as they said Because the American dream is dead. I don’t want to be ordinary. Never sell your soul, keep your memory You don’t have to accept your destiny As a victim of an acid century. Look alive and realize They’re never gonna set you free Their empty words singing hope and change It’s really all a fantasy. So you run around in circles looking for the truth Find your future’s gone and up against the youth But do you really have anything to lose When revolution's coming soon?
2.
All our lives we’ve wasted Living in disguise Searching for where we belong and Singing other people’s songs Someday I believe we’ll Reach our destiny They’ll say they forgot our names As we walk down the hall of fame. We're outcasts who were never meant to last But we burned so bright by living fast Time is gone, but we’ve only begun Yeah together we'll ride into the sun. Cast away your mask and Break the ceiling glass Write your fate into the stars Forget the past, the future’s ours.

Wishing Well 03:50
Swimming through a sea of memories tonight Dreaming of when tomorrow looked so bright. Seasons changed and years slipped by through our hands After we found ourselves on shifting sands. Stop the clocks and let’s rewind the time before We’re only strangers passing by in the crowd. Ring the bells and ask the wishing well For a waterfall to wash away the spell. Chasing shadows through the dark Wishing on the falling stars Reignite the fire dying inside our hearts.
4.
I saw you right from the start A lighthouse in the dark You’re the one who lit the fire Burning in my heart. Give me all of your love Give me your love Give me all of your love Your love. You’re a diamond in the sky The apple of my eye You’re the one who washed away All my sins and lies. Day and night Rain or shine All the riches in the world Don’t compare to you, girl. Your love is like a glass of wine Growing better with the time All my life I've waited for What the future has in store.

Lift Off 04:21
Lift off, tonight, now that we’re feeling right, slide in by my side Sit back, relax, now that we’re going fast, try to enjoy the ride. Because tonight we're leaving town We’re hitting the road, never turning around You were the one who saved my life And I need you here tonight. Say goodbye, leave the world behind Free your soul and kiss the sky Eye on the prize, sail through the light A million miles from sight.
6.
Only A Dream 04:32
Close your eyes and show me how you felt Before we were forgotten memories. Nothing ever really mattered Because it was only, only a dream. Now. But sometimes I just can’t help but wonder. Am I ever on your mind Or am I only wasting time? Speak the truth and help me understand Why fantasies will never come alive. Nothing ever really mattered Because it was only, only a dream.
7.
She's in my head She's in my dreams She is all I’ll ever need And I just can’t seem to get her off my mind. She’s all I see And she tastes so sweet She’s the only one for me And when she’s around it feels like sunshine. I think it’s love, I think it’s love, I think that I’m in love with you In my heart I know it’s true, when I’m lying next to you I think I’m in love. She’s turning heads And she’s blowing minds She’s the only one in sight And I’ve felt the same since before I even knew her name. Days go by and I still try Holding out for one last time Are you ever gonna come around again?
8.
Glory Days 03:51
Caught in the rat race, stuck inside our minds We only live for fame and diamond rings Days of honest men have come and gone So long as we pretend we’re princes and kings. Oh, glory days, we’ve gone and thrown them all away Oh, glory days, we never knew the price we’d pay. Pour the champagne and celebrate together Because the party won’t last forever.
9.
She let the wind blow through her hair Dancing round without a care Singing songs along to the stereo. I chased her through every dream Searching through the stars that gleam But maybe she was always out of reach. Gone are the days and the dreams we had Now that there's no turning back As my electric mistress fades away. Away. She disappeared into the city lights Casting shadows through the night Breaking hearts apart down the boulevard. I chased her through the looking glass Wandering lost around the past But maybe now we’ll never meet again.
10.
It’s hard to know what to say When as I talk she walks away She’s standing alone on the edge of forever. She turns blue skies into black She ain’t ever coming back She knocked me out cold like a heart attack. She left home for the unknown Won’t answer her telephone No one’s ever breaking her heart of stone. But now I’m broken up And I’m out of luck From the way that She brings rain down like April Showers. I miss her long blonde hair I wonder if she ever cared? She was always long gone Far away and past the sun.
