The Road
I *Intro*
II Oh we were greener then
Green as grass
We never had the time
Or thought to even ask
The road was open then
Free and fast
And every turn we took
We left it in the past
III All those faces straight and strange
Along those miles that we claimed
Well I still see you in my eyes
The memory of old goodbyes ... bye.... bye
And away you go...
IV And then one day you find you're gone
The road chose you when you were young
A path divided on some day
And you went along
Oh-oh... oh oh oh oh oh...
V You could walk in the Valley
And you could walk on the street
You could make your way to the mountain on bare feet
Well we all walk through fire
And we've stood in the rain
But the sun will shine brighter when we've weathered everything
VI You're changing -- I'm changing too
You're changing -- I'm changing just like you
You're changing -- I'm changing too
You're changing -- I'm changing just like you
VII The road -- The road...
The road -- The road...
VIII I lost my way a thousand times Crashed and burned up in your flames
Found my way along the edge Walking on life's window ledge
IX It's a long long long long long long long long road
It's a long long long long long long long long road
It's a long long long long long long long long road
It's a long long long long long long long long road

Animals
There is no way to really know
What you could do when pushed too far
Until your back is up against
Some wall or you are cornered
Just animals -- we are animals
Just animals -- we are wild
There is no way to really know
What you could do when pushed too far
I kissed them all -- lit them up
I kissed them all -- sent them all to ...
I did just what I had to do
I take no pride I know it's wrong
I know you think that hell is real
Well here it is in front of you
Just animals -- we are animals
Just animals -- we are wild
I did just what I had to do
I take no pride I know it's wrong

DON'T LET THE DARKNESS IN
Don't let the darkness in
Don't let the demons win
Come let the sunshine flow
Down on your precious soul
I would always come to you
Rivers flow inside of you
I really couldn't change a thing
Or carry more love to bring
But timing and geography
They were just words to you
But they were life to me
I don't have to tell you
I don't have to tell you
CHORUS
Oh....
Oh....
Guess it wasn't meant to be
Or written in any history
Even though we lived the same
And even though we loved the same
But timing and geography
They were just words to you
But they were life to me
I don't have to tell you
I don't have to tell you
I don't have to tell you
I don't have to tell you
I don't have to tell you
I don't have to tell you...

Unspoken
Who's counting?
I'm counting too
I'd like to fly away
It's true
Believe it
I believe in you
I'm trying to hold a line
That's new -- can't hack it
Ohhh // Ohhh
You're walking
I'll walk with you
Each and every time
It's new
Life's tragic
But magic too
I'm feeling things
I never wanted to
Ohhh // Ohhh

Silver Yonder
Oh...
I don't want to wait until tomorrow
I don't want to wait until it's gone
I don't want to watch you filled with sorrow
I don't want see you in a storm
Oh...
Look outside can't you see it's shinning
Look outside see the days go by
Look outside into the silver yonder
Look outside can't you see the way
Oh...
The sun was shinning behind a cloud
Someone's singing but not too loud
Oh...

FEEL IT
Can you feel it now
Running through your veins
Can you feel it now
In your fingertips
The road ahead is open wide
But filled with holes and hidden drives
Can you feel it now
Running through your veins
Can you feel it now
In your fingertips
The road ahead is open wide
But filled with holes and hidden drives
Oh oh oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh oh oh...

Epic Life
Moonlight all around you
Cool night at the fairgrounds
And we were flying on the ground
We turned ourselves from lost to found
Don't want to disappear
Don't want to die
Just want to have it all
In an epic life
So come on... Surprise!
Yea! Yeeeah! Yea! Yeeeah!
Don't want to touch the ground
Don't want to come down
I said...
Living for something bigger
Better than you figured
Where good is never good enough
And life is hard but not too tough

Jackbooted Thugs (Have All The Best Drugs)
We waited for the call you see
But you sent us on a shopping spree
You only had to ask
And they'd be loading up the packs
Dusting off the guns
To get them on the run
Run
Run
Run
And then you had to plant the seed and say
That we were heading another way
And many of us said
We'd be better off just dead
Then following a fool
A vicious stupid tool
On the run
Run
Run
Jackbooted thugs have all the best drugs
All the best times are had on someone else’s dime

See You On The Other Side
See you on the other side.
Until then, baby, let's enjoy the ride.
People drive themselves just crazy,
When we're all just leaves upon the water.
So, see you on the other side
Until then, baby, let's enjoy the ride.

Wilco being Wilco. Nothin' new here, but when a band has been in the busineess for decades and releases a 21 track album and most of them are really good, it's one of the greatest.

Pittsburgh artist Merce Lemon makes tender and open-hearted indie pop with echoes of Frankie Cosmos.
