Track Name: Feeling Lonely
In this crowded room
I never felt so all alone
Your heart is like a busy tone
I'm feeling lonely

I was up last night
Wishing that your arms would hold me tight
That we never had this break-up fight
I'm feeling lonely

Though I cried and I tried to leave
My emptiness behind
It won't leave till I've sacrificed more time
Feeling low

Though you're history
You left me with a mystery
Of how our love's supposed to be
I'm feeling lonely

Though I cried and I tried to leave
My emptiness behind
It won't leave till I've sacrificed more time
Feeling low

Though you're history
You left me with a mystery
Of how our love's supposed to be
I'm feeling lonely
Track Name: Life of the Mind
Life is hard
It gives me scars
Love is so far
I don't have a car

The bus smelled like sweat
And I'm trying to forget
That my runners have been lonely for days
I'm trying to escape, just get away

I'm falling asleep
The copier beep, beep, beeps
Paper is stuck
Oh what the stuck, stuck, stuck (fuck)

The boss is still swearing
His assistant was sharing
Lies of their torrid affair
But I don't really care
About their under--where am I going?
Am I still awake?
If I follow the bright yellow sign
To the Life of the Mind

There is a world with sparkling skies
And I am a girl with a concert device

The queen loved my act
And she asked me to play
To entertain the princes all day
And what can I say, as I accept my bouquet

Where am I going?
Am I still awake?
The Life of my Mind is calling me, telling me
That there's a place
I can surely escape
If I follow the bright yellow sign

I can dance upon the stars
And make a wish to where you are
And maybe your dreams can come true
If you can see the way I do
If you can see the way I do
If you can see the way I do

Where am I going?
Am I still awake?
The Life of my Mind is calling me, telling me
That there's a place
I can surely escape
If I follow the bright yellow sign

If you're searching for truth
And it's real hard to find
Take a journey through
The Life of the Mind
The Life of the Mind
Through the Life of the Mind
Track Name: Freeze Up
I get so shy when you're looking at me
I feel uptight and weak in my knees
I'm a crazy child, got knots in my stomach
Just a crazy child, wasting up every moment

Every moment that I should have you
Every moment around you, I freeze up
Every moments around you, I seize up

When my lover is looking, right at me
And all I say is

Badadum-blah-blah
Dadadum-daaah-di-dah
Badadum-blah-blah
Dah-dah-dum-dah-dah-di-dah

Badadum-blah-blah
Dadadum-daaah-di-dah
Badadum-blah-blah
Dah-dah-dum-dah-dah-di-dah

Speak forever, speak to me
Speak of magic, speak of your world of dreams
Love forever, love through me
'Cause time is passing, it's getting hard to see

Every moment that I could have you
Every moment around you, I freeze up
Every moments around you, I seize up
When my lover is looking, right at me

Every moment around you, I freeze up
Every moments around you, I seize up
When my lover is looking, right at me
And all I say is

Badadum-blah-blah
Dadadum-daaah-di-dah
Badadum-blah-blah
Dah-dah-dum-dah-dah-di-dah

Badadum-blah-blah
Dadadum-daaah-di-dah
Badadum-blah-blah
Dah-dah-dum-dah-dah-di-dah

I should have youuu-oo-oh ooo-ohhh-oo-oh
Oo-ohh-ooo oo-ohhh-oo-ohh-oo-ohhh

I should have youuu-oo-oh ooo-ohhh-oo-ohhh
Oo-ohh-ooo-ohh oo-ohh-oo-ohhh-oo-ooooo

Every moment around you, I freeze up
Every moments around you, I seize up
When my lover is looking, right at me

Every moment around you, I freeze up
Every moments around you, I seize up
When my lover is looking, right at me
And all I say is

Badadum-blah-blah
Dadadum-daaah-di-dah
Badadum-blah-blah
Dah-dah-dum-dah-dah-di-dah

Badadum-blah-blah
Dadadum-daaah-di-dah
Badadum-blah-blah
Track Name: Telescope
You are my telescope
When I have to see the outside world
And without you, I would die
Without you, I would die
My skin would crawl and I'd be drawn outside the lines

You are my telescope
When I have to see the outside world
And without you, I would die
Without you, I would die
My skin would crawl and I'd be drawn outside the lines

Just to be with you
Just to sail the moon
Just to steal a tune
From the stars

You are my telescope
When I have to see the outside world
And without you, I would die
Without you, I would die
My skin would crawl and I--

You are my telescope
My everlasting antidote
My subatomic overload
My cascade of pearls

What we are is more, you see
An understated forgery
What we are is, can't you see
You loved me first

You are my telescope
When I have to see the outside world
And without you, I've just die
Without you, I've just die
My skin has crawled and I've been drawn outside the lines
Track Name: Book of Dreams
I'm lost
I'm hopelessly lost in
Dreams

I don't know what's real or not
All I have is you
And are you real, or not?

The world moves so fast
There are so many places I don't know
The world's moving fast
Shadow's been cast
Tricks have been laid along the way
All my sights seem upside-down

Hold on, here it comes again
And this time I know better
I know that past is past
And it's time at last
Apparitions come together
I know I had dreams
And they were creatures all along the way
And now I'm holdin' on and movin' strong

Hold on, here it comes again
And this time I know better
I know that past is past
And it's time at last
Apparitions come together
I know I had dreams
And they were creatures all along the way
And now I'm holdin' on and movin' strong

Hold on, here it comes again
And this time I know better
I know that past is past
And it's time at last
Apparitions come together
I know I had dreams
And they were creatures all along the way
And now I'm holdin' on and I'm movin' strong

I'm holdin' on and I'm movin' strong
I'm holdin' on and I'm movin' strong

Yeah
Dadah-dum, dadah-dum, dadah-dum
Yeah
Dadah-dum, dadah-dum, dadah-dum
