Camouflage
Don't commit to anything
Don't pin down a look or sound
Be the guy you've got to be
It all depends on who's around
Peddling perception, a smile can get you anywhere
Just head in the direction that the group is going’ and you’ll get there
Find a coattail get a grip
HOLD ON TIGHT

Camouflage, no one could ever hate you, you’re not there
Camouflage, could anyone really love you? You’re not there
Camouflage…

Mister Popularity, that title can’t come easily
Candy coat disparities…put on the act and just agree.
It’s okay to do anything in the name of social standing.
The most humble self-absorbed man…who’s ever been.
Find a coattail get a grip
HOLD ON TIGHT

Camouflage, no one could ever hate you, you’re not there
Camouflage, could anyone really love you? You’re not there
Camouflage…

What have you got to say for yourself now that I’m calling you out?
This calls for diplomacy like everything you do or say.
Your ‘everything to everyone’ is really nothing at all.
If you really do believe that you’re not trying to deceive,
take a look down at your sleeve

Camouflage, no one could ever hate you, you’re not there
Camouflage, could anyone really love you? You’re not there
Camouflage…

Dumber Days
Astounded struck with awe
Is not far from fear at all,
except you smile about it
Confusion’s setting in...
Not far from fear at all
You just haven’t decided
to be scared

Inclined to succeed
hardcover minds are safe
edify all your needs away

What you know scares the fear away
What you learn washes
wonder down you’ll
try somehow to find a way
you can throw yourself back to dumber days

Insipid, feeling bored
is not far from fear at all
you stopped caring about it

Delusion’s wearing thin
Its time to face the facts
You think you’re better than

What you know scares the fear away
What you learn washes
wonder down you’ll
try somehow to find a way
you can throw yourself back to dumber days
If hate is learned tell me what of love
What have I gotten by thinking of
The ways we’ve invented ourselves
A purpose much bigger than EVERYTHING else

What you know scares the fear away
What you learn washes
wonder down you’ll
try somehow to find a way
you can throw yourself back to dumber days

Gentlest Revolutionary
You were surrounded by “all-talkers”
And the ghost of Robin Hood
Of all anarchy’s daughters
You’re the most misunderstood

I’m finally seeing something
In the way you think and speak
Its only taken 3 long years
To buck reality

You’re the gentlest little revolutionary
With biggest ideas
the perfect mouth to sing them to the world

I noticed you’ve grown out your hair
Its beautiful
They’ll never see it coming
When you unleash the bull

So sweetly in their china shop
Made in the USA
You’ll show them where the buck will stop
And they will change their ways

For the gentlest little revolutionary
With biggest ideas
the perfect mouth to sing them to the world

You’ve got it all just where it should be
we to crawl before we stand and see
The fact that we cant fly away
Miles won’t fix up yesterday’s mistakes

I watched the big show on my screen
I heard you sing and play
Though I didn’t talk when we met up
Now I’ve got this to say

You’re the gentlest little revolutionary
With biggest ideas
the perfect mouth to sing them
oohhh oohh oohh

Someone's Hero
Your subjects are watching their hungry but loyal
I’m not excluded
Footprints ahead are just under the soil
We all want to prove it

You think the time is right
To leave us and give up the fight

Aristocrats built you a throne dressed in red
And all of its worries
They’ve taken your strength and your hospital bed
in this empire of flurries

if you think the time is right
to leave us and give up the fight
Don’t.
You could be someone’s hero

(chorus)
Stand, push your shoulders back
Show us how it’s done
We’ll learn from you
Swing and plow through the pain
We’ll fight like you do.
You’ll be someone’s hero.

You’ve paid your dues
and you’ve earned our respect.
Don’t rest on your laurels.
You’ll go on to your finest years still ahead;
tenacious but moral

You know the time’s not right
To leave us and give up the fight
Don’t.
You’ll be someone’s hero.

[CHORUS]

Your last day will come and go
but lessons like a lodestar glow:
Forever. Forever.

[CHORUS 2x]

The Question
It’s not everyday
That a friend seeks advice
with her heart on the ice
of a tongue like mine

So I’ll contemplate
the things I’ve done wrong
and pass them along
to help her decide
what to do…what to do

Isn’t that the question
Always….every time you know
Isn’t that the question
facing what you know
knowing what you know

Everyday
breaks with the night
A casual goodbye
t o clarity

So she’ll step away
f rom making the fall...
delegate the call
to someone who’ll know
What to do….what to do

Isn’t that the question
Always….every time you know
Isn’t that the question
facing what you know
knowing what you know

If I spent two cents
to get her off the fence
she’ll do what you’d do
she’ll still do what she’ll do.

Yuletide Fantasy
Coming up on Christmas
Oh I’ve been wondering if you’re free
I wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity

I think that I’ll invite you over
We’ll beautify the tree
and when it lights I’ll know we’re both sure
I’m good for you and you for me
a yuletide fantasy
a yuletide fantasy

Coming up on Christmas
We’ll find we’re feeling more alive
Its funny how we reminisce less when tomorrow’s not implied

I’ll pull you close as it gets colder
I don’t mind making guarantees
These fleeting days are best served slower
We’ll kiss and hope for time to freeze
a yuletide fantasy
a yuletide fantasy

That would be the way things would pan out
if I had courage to say what I think about
So I’ll stick to practical gifts one more year.

I’ll study up on wines and try to match my outfits
I’ll dust off the lines and conversation starters
This time next year I swear I’ll be prepared for a
a yuletide fantasy
a yuletide fantasy
