Picasso
Been stuck in traffic making friends with the cynical
I know my self belief’s in need of a miracle
If it rains, don’t complain
Overworked and underpaid
I’m tired of selling out I guess I’m the renegade
Leave this old english blues gotta get away
See the colors of the revolution
It’s cherry red or it’s black and white
If the king is dead then no one’s ruling
I’ll be painting my Picasso with a pocket knife
All the voters in the street don’t know what to say
They’re all bitter cause the governments washing brains
Don’t hang up, switch it off
Every sickness starts with a little cough
Now they’re their putting all the laws on the medicine
It’s a cold predicament
See the colors of the revolution
It’s cherry red or it’s black and white
If the king is dead then no one’s ruling
They’re just painting a Picasso with a pocket knife
With a pocket knife
Oh now
How can you listen when you’re shooting the enemy
Fear’s on the rise compromising economy
The apple fell, down on me
When I was climbing up a rotten tree
I’m done picking out a flower for Jacqueline
Don’t you know that she’s stuck in a blue 'La Vie'
See the colors of the revolution
It’s cherry red or it’s black and white
When truth is dead and money’s ruling
I’ll be painting a Picasso with a pocket knife
With a pocket knife
Oh!
Carry On Easy
I was lost in this city wearing scars of 23
Pitied myself for days on repeat
Caught in transition I was down and confused
Couldn’t seem to shake off those dark navy blues
Overthinking thoughts wondering where I went wrong
Couldn’t turn to Jesus I was stealing all his songs
Stuck in denial I ain’t taking all the blame
So I’m burning all my bridges and I'm jumping from the
plane
I'm letting my garden grow wild
Dig up my grave and find my inner child
Carry on easy
Turn the stereo up
Watch the sun go down (watch the sun go down)
Carry on easy
Forget about love what's lost will be found
This is my resolution
Venice I’ll get high on your couch
Everywhere I look critical smiles all around
I wonder what they're thinking
what pills they’re taking now
Don’t need this conversation I just wanna get away
Spare the invitation and just give me all the change
If therapy can’t fix it, then the fuse must be blown
Man I tried to tell you but you’re buried in your phone
It’s time to get real, open up my eyes
Leave all my troubles behind
Move on, move on to a better state of mind
Carry on easy
Turn the stereo up
Watch the sun go down (Watch the sun go down)
Carry on easy
Forget about love
What's lost will be found
This is my resolution, ah ha now now
This is my resolution
Venice I’ll get high on your couch
Venice I’ll get high on your couch
Lose my head in the clouds
Wooh, then I’ll find my way out
Oh Venice I'll get high
Carry on easy (Carry on easy)
Turn the stereo up
Watch the sun go down
Carry on easy (Carry on easy)
Forget about your love
Forget about your love!
Ouw!
Carry on easy
Turn the stereo up
Watch the sun go down (Watch the sun go down)
Carry on easy
Forget about love
What's lost will be found
This is my resolution, now now
This is my resolution
Venice I’ll get high on your couch
Venice I’ll get high on your couch
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh Ooh
Venice I’ll get high
Right As Rain
There’s a taste in my mouth bad memory
So I’m spitting it out mothers recipe
She won’t figure me out mathematically
There ain’t no doubt in my mind she’s spoon feeding me
Stop shine let it unwind
You’re gonna be fine but you’re just not getting it
Stop shine it’s gonna be right as rain
Stop trying to sip that wine
It won’t taste fine if you’re not living it
Stop shine you’re gonna be right as rain
It’s a puzzling mind anxiety
It’s the perfect design so just let it be
I left my troubles behind
when the therapist cried cause there ain’t no fixing me
There’s no doubt in my mind she’s spoon feeding me
Oh lord
Stop shine let it unwind
You’re gonna be fine but you’re just not getting it
Stop shine it’s gonna be right as rain
(Oh it’s gonna be right)
Stop trying to sip that wine
It won’t taste fine if you’re not living it
Stop shine you’re gonna be right as rain
Oh yeah
I said it’s gonna be right as rain
Oh can’t you see it’s gonna be right as rain
Stop shine let it unwind
You’re gonna be fine but you’re just not getting it
Stop shine it’s gonna be right as rain
(I say it’s gonna be right)
Stop trying to sip that wine
It won’t taste fine if you’re not living it
Stop shine you’re gonna be right as rain
Oh yeah
It’s gonna be right as rain
Yeah
Oh now
Giving It Up
Is it still on your mind like your favorite song
Are we falling behind cause the race isn’t won
Can you throw it away if we’ve been here before
Are we turning the page or is it already torn
I’m giving it up before it gives up on me
Am I losing your touch cause I’m too close to see
Are we all out of luck or is it just meant to be
It ain’t love, if you don’t believe
Oh it’s there in your eyes but I just can’t let you go
I know that you’re right but I’m scared on my own
I don’t wanna fight but it’s all I can do
So won’t ya settle my mind before my heart’s set on you
I’m giving it up before it gives up on me
Am I losing your touch cause I’m too close to see
Are we all out of luck or is it just meant to be
cause it ain’t love, no if you don’t believe
I’m giving it up gonna set this love free
We keep losing my love cause we’re too far to see
Now we’re all out of luck I guess it’s just meant to be
cause it ain’t love, no it ain't now
If you don’t believe
If you don’t believe
If you don’t now
If you don’t believe
Serenade
No one wants to be the knife
that’s sticking out the back of a hero
Man that ain’t the way to survive
keeping cool in minus zero
No you can’t save a soldier from dying
Standing on the corner of nowhere
Scratching at the golden retriever
Slowing down to smell the roses
Making deals with disbelievers
No you can’t get screwed without trying
If this ain’t my home I’ll be on my way
It’s political the way you sign my name
20 fools in a row but I come and I go
To sing a serenade
No one’s gonna come here to change me
I’m standing up to fight my own war
Been bitten by the promise of violence
now I’m kicking through the safety doors
Oh I ain’t hanging on the ropes of persuasion
trying to find a way to let go
I’ve overthought of thinking it over
The man behind the wheel he don’t know
how to lose control
Gotta lose control
If this ain’t my home I’ll be on my way
and it’s political the way you sign my name
Now you’re breaking my bones 'til I get my pay
20 fools in a row but I come and I go
To sing a serenade
To sing a serenade!
To sing a serenade!
To sing a serenade!
If this ain’t my home I’ll be on my way
and it’s political the way you sign my name
Now you’re breaking my bones 'til I get my pay
20 fools in a row but I come and I go
To sing a serenade
20 fools in a row but I come and I go
To sing a serenade
20 fools in a row but I come and I go
To sing a serenade
Let It Roll
Well I’ve gambled on bad luck
Lost all I’ve won
Played out the juke-box
Pulled out the plug
This ain’t no exhibition
just to hang up my heart
I won’t bleed for success
please the man on the throne
Got the sign on his desk
money’s all that he’s blown
Messing up my business
when I’m paying the cost
So if you’re satisfied
come on and let me know (Let me know)
Compromise your static mind and break control
Cash out you’re pride
Let it roll
I’m surrounded by liars
and thieves on the loose
Friends asking favors
with tricks in their shoes
Crawling through the gutter
nobody gives you hand
Now the bill-board is stuck up
with cheap-lemonade
I won’t crave for a sip
when it’s factory made
They sugar coat the product
The poison’s in the can
So if you’re satisfied
come on and let me know (Let me know)
Compromise your static mind and break control
Cash out you’re pride
Let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll
Yeah
(Naa Na Na, Naa Na Na,
Na Na Na, Na Na Na
Naa Na Na, Naa Na Na,
Naaaa, Naa, Naa, Naaaaa)
Guess I killed the producer
and spent all my pay
Now I’m stuck in congestion
with digital change
The songwriter’s bitter
but my blues ain’t expired
Save my confusion
and give me a break
No it ain’t competition for radio play
I’m done with all the glitter
Set the stage on fire
If you’re satisfied
come on and let me know (Let me know)
Compromise your static mind and break control
If the feelings right come on and save your soul
Cash out you’re pride
Let it roll
Cash out you’re pride
Are you sold?
Won’t you cash out you’re pride
Shit your gold
Let it roll
Let it roll now
Oh
What about all these metaphors?
Verona
There’s an eye full of towers
There’s a lock on a bridge
Throw a wish in the river
and it all leads to this
When the weight on your shoulders
Starts bringing you down
I’ll pull you in closer
When there’s no one around
It’s there in the moment
If you don’t make a sound
Did you know, every road leads to Rome
Verona
Surrender the empire
Let me put my head in your hands
Watch the orange sunrise
and give into the plan
When the weight on your shoulders
starts bringing you down
I’ll pull you in closer
when there’s no one around
It’s there in the moment
if you don’t make a sound
Did you know, every road leads to Rome
Verona
Ooh
Ooh
When the weight on your shoulders
starts bringing you down
I’ll pull you in closer
when there’s no one around
It’s there in the moment
if you don’t make a sound
and did you know, every road leads to Rome
Verona
Verona
Verona (Verona)
Verona (Verona, Verona)
Michelangelo
Tied up in branches it's where I act like child
Naive and foolish to the reckless and wild
Draw a map of where I'm going
I'm slipping down every tree
Tryna' get some perspective when I play out the scene
The record keeps spinning scratching outta control
At the end of the beginning I wanna pour out my soul
Come fix what I believe in when the sketches all fade
Every chapel and ceiling is getting harder to paint
Throw the masterpiece away
Lower the veil if your heart is set in stone
Carve out the angel how will you ever know
Kill my Goliath and show me the way to go
If you're expecting a miracle
from something invisible
Let me be your Michelangelo
There's a place in the bedroom
where you danced in your sleep
With the tips of your fingers collecting my dreams
Like a beautiful statue you're my final mistake
I just held on forever cause I thought you might break
With a delicate motion and the slight of my hand
I was trapped in the moment
in the place where you stand
You're my finest hour, you're the one who remains
Under chapels and ceilings where I sign my name
I'll throw the masterpiece away
Lower the veil if your heart is set in stone
Carve out the angel how will you ever know
So kill my Goliath and show me the way to go
If you're expecting a miracle
from something invisible
Let me be your Michelangelo
If you're expecting a miracle
from something invisible
Lower the veil if your heart is set in stone
Carve out the angel how will you ever know
so kill my Goliath and show me the way to go
Oh, Oh, Oh Oh,
If you're expecting a miracle
Oh, Oh, Oh Oh,
from something invisible
Oh, Oh, Oh Oh,
Let me be your Michelangelo
Let me be your Michelangelo
Let me be your Michelangelo
Let me be your Michelangelo
Ivory
What made you think that I would be some kinda fool
Arrest my heart and let you treat my love so cruel
Lay down your spices make me beg the taste of you
Rub off your camouflage cause no one's bullet proof
I've been mistreated by the devil and her lust
She burnt my wings and turned my ashes into dust
You're talking through your teeth
but never wipe your mouth
cause I won't bleed for you like rain
I've seen to many clouds
Turn on the rivalry
Oh trigger happy son
Sell my ivory
and vultures sing along
Kill the harmony
Let nature write the song
I'd rather be shot-dead for nothing
Than be the bullet in your gun
Flesh and bones you clone the taste upon your lips
The fruit you offered me was just a goodbye kiss
The day you take it all for granted I'll despair
If you mess with angels then your demons reappear
Turn on the rivalry
oh trigger happy son
Sell my ivory
and vultures sing along
Kill the harmony
Let nature write the song
I'd rather be shot-dead for nothing
Than be the bullet in your gun
Run run run rabbit run
Here come mother nature
With her daddy's gun
she's gonna cut you head off stick it on the wall
Be the centre of attention at the charity ball
Turn on the rivalry
oh trigger happy son
Sell my ivory
and vultures sing along
Kill the harmony
Let nature write the song
I'd rather be shot-dead for nothing
Than be the bullet in your gun
Yeah?
We got it all
