Head Down 02:57
Hey mister strong man, help me if you can Since I found myself I don't know what to do Hey mister strong man, help me if you can Since I'm so confused I thought I'd turn to you Yeah, oh we sat around singing Head down never had much, I never gave up till the day it was done On and on and on and on and on, oh singing Head down, never looked up I never let go till you said it was done On and on and on and on and on Hey mister strong man, show me what you got 'Cause I'm trying to make a model for myself Hey mister strong man show me what I'm not Since I'm trying to forget the way I felt Yeah, oh we sat around singing Head down never had much, I never gave up till the day it was done On and on and on and on and on, oh singing Head down, never looked up I never let go till you said it was done On and on and on and on and on (repeat chorus)

Darling where were you 50 years ago? Unconceived I believe but I wouldn't know Darling where does everybody go? Downtown people stop and stare I'm on my own and far from home but I don't really care 'Cause what does anybody really know? You cross the finish line and what do you get? You find out you're part of a madman's bet On the freeway cars are passing by And I pinch myself to see if I'm alive We're just trying to keep warm The day your neighbor passed away another child was born And nobody can tell me why it's so You cross the finish line and what do you get? You find out you're made up in someone's head In the city shops are closing down And I'm writing songs to prove that I'm around

Epic Scars 04:04
White blue and red above my bed Water from the past And the waves rise up above my eyes And all of my plans It's not the way I planned I guess I'll never really understand We can shine like shooting stars But we'll always have our epic scars Summer days fade in the wake But not lost anyhow And I have no regrets if I'm second best 'Cause it doesn't matter now And it's not the way I planned I guess I'll never really understand We can shine like shooting stars But we'll always have our epic scars We'll always epic scars You can see my epic scars

Underground 04:07
Lay down far away from here Head down yeah They told me son you'll win So I lay down and I'll never try again Pick me up pick you up You picked me up when I was down But you gave me up gave me up So now I'm underground Give it all or you gain no ground So I buried them way down underground And I framed them up all done up in gold Head down, yeah Pick me up pick you up You picked me up when I was down But you gave me up gave me up So now I'm underground Pick me up pick you up You picked me up when I was down But you gave me up gave me up So now I'm underground Build me up build me up You build me up just to break me down But you gave me up, gave me up So now I'm underground

Stumbling 03:00
You say that I oughta go Down the same old road You went when you were just a child but in your eyes I see now smile Oh lord show me what I should do I'm stumbling on my way back to you There once were days when I was strong And summer nights last so long Now in my hands I see the steel Like enemies on battlefields Oh mama show me how I should live I'm burning for my soul to give Now quiet as a little girl I'll walk across the whole world And hope nobody notice me With eyes blinded in reverie Oh lord, sure don't see the way I only hope there's not a price to pay, yeah I'm stumbling on my way back to you I'm stumbling on my way back to you I'm stumbling on my way back to you

Honey 02:52
In my dream I was walking down by a river With the girl I love She was shining like a drop of honey in the sunlight From the sky above Well I wake up when the sun comes up in the morning For a day of work There's people driving in their cars all around me Rolling on through the dirt Oh do you love me I've been so lonely Since I've been on my own (Chorus repeats)
