Seattle 03:19
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 Seattle Seattle

Conductor 04:32
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

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 03:54
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
