In 1981
The stars were shining
In 1981
The sky was dark
In 1981
No one was smiling
In 1981
You were with me
In 1981
You were with me
In 1981
We weren’t only a memory
In 1981
We were so real
In 1981
The view was expansive
In 1981
Time was so surreal
That was a time
You were with me
That was a time
You were with me
Side by side
We’d hide from the sun
But the stars would shine
In 1981

Game Face
03:57

I’m not having too much
I know where I stand
Things are under control
More or less as planned
I am in my place
And everyone is in theirs
I have on my game face
And everyone has theirs
I’m not having too much
I know where I stand
Things are under control
More or less as planned
I’m having just a little bit
And then a little bit more
I’m having just a little bit
And then a little bit more
I am on my game plan
And everyone is on theirs
I will blame my old man
Like everyone will blame theirs
Like when I had a little bit
And then a little bit more
I know what I must do
I just don’t know what for

This Didn't Happen

This didn’t really happen
I’m not really here
This didn’t really happen
I’m not really here
So don’t you worry
Don’t you worry my dear
Don’t you worry, worry
Don’t you worry my dear
I think you know
What it’s all about
I think you know
There’s no need to shout
I think you understand
What I’m saying to you
Do I have to spell it out?
What I’m saying to you
You know I’m hung up on you
That’s what I’m doing here
I can’t let go
It's what I'm doing here
And you know I’m hung up on you
That’s why I’m not here
No I can’t let go
And that’s why I’m not here
This didn’t really happen
I’m not really here
This didn’t really happen
I’m not really here
So don’t you worry
Don’t you worry my dear
So don’t you worry
Don’t you worry my dear

Tall Heads
03:41
|

We all trip like that sometimes, so
Don’t worry your pretty head
We all fall on hard times, doesn’t mean
There’s a future to dread
We all exist on the same plane
But some of us fly in the air
We’re all wearing versions of the same face
But some of us have more expensive hair
Tall heads, extra tall heads, they have
Tall heads in there
Tall heads, extra tall heads, they have
Tall heads in there
We all trip somewhere, sometime
We all make up our own story
Everybody’s got to learn sometime, so
Just try not to worry
We all trip sometimes, take it from me
Don’t worry your pretty head
Tall or small we’re all in the same boat
Waiting for a watershed
Tall heads, extra tall heads, they have
Tall heads in there
Tall heads, extra tall heads, they have
Tall heads in there
