Surprise
Walkin’ down the street
You see somethin’ other than downcast eyes
Faces share their names
and say ‘isn’t it nice outside’
Little neighborhood
You’re the mocha on my nose,
The colors down the rows of the fruit stands
Mountains with snow on their head
I got a comfortable bed
How am I ever ever ever gonna leave
Seattle
Seattle
You don’t rain as much as they say
Seattle
Seattle
Oh, you don’t rain as much as they say
A thousand little bridges make me think
Of you and how all steps are little leaps
We could live by the light of the needle
Sing to the scent of the pine
Takin’ in the clouds as they take on the sky
Seattle
Seattle
You don’t rain as much as they say
Seattle
Seattle
Oh, you don’t rain as much as they say
Think I’ll stay
Seattle
Seattle
Oh, you don’t rain as much as they say
Seattle
Seattle
Oh, you don’t rain as much as they say

There's a job that's too cruel
No kind heart could pick it
No, what kind of sadist could walk around punching train tickets?
And he knows he's a fool
For always departin'
And leavin' the best of his days
and his heart in the Hudson
How the steady men drool
'Cause he's always on track and on time
But the man who can't be stationary
Can't quiet the grind
Iron and Steel
Doesn't it feel cold
To call "All Aboard?"
There were dozens of days
He could have turned the train around for love
Men with their homes in their shoes
He could of let ride
Iron and Steel
Doesn't it feel cold
To call "All Aboard?"
Iron and Steel
There were dozens of days
There were dozens of days
There were dozens of days
He could have turned the train around
for love

Reckless (Lady, be)

Lady be reckless
With your heart and with your hands
Don't let'em squeeze you
Into tighter, neater plans
Rage like the fire
Under storms of gasoline
And death to the liar
who says ladies should be sweet
Stay out of the lines and get into the way
I dare you to move like your body won't break
Sing like you scream
And dream like you don't know about gravity
One of these days you'll see
The loveliest ladies are free
So lady, be
Lady be ruthless
If you want it you can have
All of the highest jewels
Are got by those who grab
Reach in and rip out
Anything that holds you back
You are the only source
of power that you have
Stay out of the lines and get into the way
I dare you to move like your body won't break
Sing like you scream
And dream like you don't know about gravity
One of these days you'll see
The loveliest ladies are free
So lady, be
Stay out of the lines and get into the way
I dare you to move like your body won't break
Sing like you scream
And dream like you don't know about gravity
One of these days you'll see
The loveliest ladies are free
So lady, be

Lovesick

We all have the blues
We all hate the things we choose
And we're all fighting for our lives
With sweaty hands and flimsy knives
I'm sick with your love
I'm sick with your love
I'm sick with your love
Oh, but I can't get enough
Medicine's a cure
Before the afterbite
And we cut out any organs as they fail
Forgetting that our failure's part of life
I'm sick with your love
I'm sick with your love
I'm sick with your love
Oh, but I can't get enough
Nobody led me here but me
Why must I want what makes me weak
The thing that I love is making me ache
I want you to stop
I need you to stay
I'm sick with your love
I'm sick with your love
I'm sick with your love
Oh, but I can't get enough
Enough
Enough
Enough
