Mr. Quagmire oh it seems
that your slightly lucid dreams
leave your feet stuck in a rather muddy swamp
Can you walk the other way
Step outside your normal day
You are just so due for some auspicious romp
You're not getting very far now, Mr. Quagmire
Your legs are moving fast but the world is spinning past
Don't you know that you been down this road before ?
and the last 10 times didn't go so well, for sure
Mr Quagmire, I maintain
there is quicksand in your brain
you just nevah learn from all of your mistakes
I would love to watch you budge
from your same decisive drudge
Oh what a difference all this changing makes
You're not getting very far now, Mr. Quagmire
Your legs are moving fast but the world is spinning past
Don't you know that you been down this road before ?
and the last 10 times didn't go so well, for sure
Mr Quagmire, wipe your slate
You are captain of your fate
but you always are inclined to dig a ditch
There's a place that you've never been
Time to look underneath your skin
to determine how to better scratch your itch
You're not getting very far now, Mr. Quagmire
Your legs are moving fast but the world is spinning past
Don't you know that you been down this road before ?
and the last 10 times didn't go so well, for sure

Stolen time is the best time
You didn't see it comin
and you feel so sorry for the ones that never got to feel this way
Stolen time is the best time
like opening a present
and getting the toy you really wanted but never thought you'd get to see
and when it's over you're left in the bubble of a moment that happened just right
It's no wonder you don't want to say it out loud
Stolen time comes in your window
oh when you least expect it
You seem to be feeling like you're losin,
but hey you are a lucky boy
Stolen time you want to keep it
and hold it very closely
the big blue sky and the trees are the only ones who'll ever know
and you'll be floating long after she exits and tomorrow is not far away
Life won't falter as long as that girl comes around

Tonight I found myself
Crawlin’ cross the floor for you
Well, tell me baby did I do right by you
In the naked glare of your big spotlight
You’ve got me feelin’ things I never knew
This is my first time
Will I remember, will I forget?
It wasn't yours I guess
Could you tell?
Tonight I found myself
Open, locking eyes with you
Well, did I make you feel it down inside
Did I convince you that I had blue eyes
As everything you wanted became true
Could you tell?
Tonight I found myself
Such a filthy girl for you
You make me shudder in my innocence
You make me, make me so intense
You make me shudder in my innocence
then you corrupt me and it's so intense
Just teach me baby, I’ll do better too.
This is my first time
Will I remember, will I forget?
It wasn't yours I guess
Could you tell?
Tonight I found myself
Such a lazy girl for you
You make me shudder in my innocence
then you corrupt me and it's so intense
Just teach me baby
you didn't see me there, did you ?
Could you tell, could you tell
this was my first time
in the naked glare of your big spotlight

He is the only one who can possibly deal with you
when you feel like this
It's a delicate tightrope walk and he's a nimble acrobat
Her eyes are changing colors
and his world is spinning round
Your mood is up and down like a faulty thermostat
Moodswing baby Moodswing baby Moodswing baby
You turn the moment upside down
Moodswing baby Moodswing baby Moodswing baby
You turn his feelings all around
when you hit the ground, nothing can compare
when you hit the ground, feelin' kind of rare
when you hit the ground, he wants to be there for you
just for you
He is the only one who can possibly turn your head
when you are gone
He's been to all your worlds, he's a supple alien
One must always anticipate that you might trip the light
He gives you everything, can't disappoint you
Moodswing baby Moodswing baby Moodswing baby
You change the colors of the sky
Moodswing baby Moodswing baby Moodswing baby
The seasons change and you don't know why
Make the stars zoom by, he'll shield you from the glare
Make the moon less high, you still won't care
Any place in your mind, he'll wanna be there for you
just for you
Lover baby (oo oo oo oo ooh)
Lover baby (ooh - oo oo oo ooh)
Experiencing anguish is not his idea of fun
but it seems that you can't live without adventure
He's your guy cause he is clearly looser than the rest
but there's something soulful underneath your changing
He loves his
Moodswing baby Moodswing baby Moodswing baby
You turn the moment upside down
Moodswing baby Moodswing baby Moodswing baby
Mixed feelings go around
Make the stars zoom by, he'll shield you from the glare
Make the moon less high, you just won't care
Any place in your mind, he'll wanna be there for you
just for you

In the sky, there is a comet
A collision is expected
She was only contradictions
He was nothing if not constant
At a point there was a magnet
too powerful not to mention
His feet stood up on their own
She went along, but not without tension
Oh she was his great admirer
He found himself surrounded
She wanted to take care of him
It seemed their hearts were poundin'
What was it that was happening?
when they stepped into the fire
They were dancing into the truth
but they kept looking over their shoulders
Then they got bolder (bolder)
It seems they couldn't stop themselves
from spending all that time
They both suspected this was wrong
but love, it ain't a crime
The last thing you expected
was a beam across the ocean
that could not be deflected
from the girl who paid attention
Next time you looked up
she had captured your devotion
They were dancing into the truth
but they kept looking over their shoulders
Then they got bolder (bolder)
It seems they couldn't stop themselves
from spending all that time
They both suspected this was wrong
but love, it ain't a crime
They were dancing into the truth
and couldn't stop the momentum
of what they sorely needed
Now nothing could prevent em
from thinking bout each other
over the dark and thru the light
However did it come to this
However did it come to this
However did it come to this? it happened overnight
They were dancing into the truth
but they kept looking over their shoulders
Then they got bolder (bolder)
It seems they couldn't stop themselves
from spending all that time
They both suspected this was wrong
but love, love, love, it ain't a crime
They were dancing into the truth
but they kept looking over their shoulders
then they got bolder

Painful niceties stick in my craw
Painful niceties I think I'm hitting the wall
I think it's time to change my life
make sure you're not in it
You can call me a loser but
I've already been it
for puttin up with all your lies
no one would believe it
My dignity has long capsized
how am I gonna retrieve it?
Painful niceties
Painful niceties wouldn't be wearing my shoes
Painful niceties now I got nothing to lose
I think it's time to run like hell away from all the constiction
you tied me down and held me back,
you strangled my faith and conviction
I used to have integrity, I used to sleep well in my bed
but while I tie myself to you, my future's officially dead
Painful niceties Rome wasn't built in a day
Painful niceties they're soon to be going away
Painful niceties Painful niceties

When the rocks are brittle and the mud is dry,
the cruel yellow sun becomes a red sky
and that dull grass town, there's no movement at all
not a twitch of life until night falls
Through the white molded windows just traces of light
Computer monitors on thru the night
And all the lifeblood being shared I mean being given away
The hopes and dreams of another day
The days are like weeks, the years are a blur
But the dogs are all howling, now something's astir
As long as the spirit of what should've been
Appears out of nowhere to take one last spin
Through a town called Won't Matter, down a street called Long Gone
There's a guy who feels something, it ain't drugs that he's on
It's a moment in time when he started to live
An impending explosion oh something must give
And the voice of god and the last rock hope
They're tryin' to hang him but they ran out of rope
And past guitar legends come back from the dead
To play so inspired that the world turns its head
And what started with whispers will end up so loud
in the city called Never will gather a crowd
No it won't be too long til that town is awake
You can feel the ground moving, it's the Year of the Snake
And the mojo magnet and the future of rock
and the king of sustain will to everyone's shock
be the ones who will rise from the dry desert sand
To shine like a nova cause no one else can
There's a guy who feels something, they're tellin' him he's wrong
But it's gonna turn out he was right all along
And the ones who denied them in the hot sun they'll bake
It's gonna all come down in the Year of the Snake
And the voice of god and the last rock hope
They've been tryin' to hang him but they ran out of rope
And past guitar legends come back from the dead
To play so inspired that the world turns its head
And what started with whispers will end up so loud
in the city called Never, they will gather a crowd
No it won't be too long til that town is awake
You can feel the ground moving, it's the Year of the Snake

With the world collapsing and a mighty wave crashing
I was in some corner with you
When I should've been reeling
all I was feeling was love that was long overdue
I would've been dying, debris was just flying
it went past my head and just shattered
and the apocalypse came as I sought your lips
focused on only what mattered
With the world collapsing and a mighty wave crashin'
I was in some corner with you
When I should have been reeling
all I was feeling was a love that was long overdue
I would have been dyin', debris was flyin'
as it went past my head and just shattered
An apocalypse came as you shouted out my name
and we focused on the only thing that mattered
Oooh I continued to thrust in the chaos and dust
as you opened your moment to me
It felt like nature or more than that, fate
your appearance that set my soul free
As long as love has got a hold
we feel no pain, no heat or cold
The clocks will stop and we won't grow old
we'll just go on and on
The end of the universe had been no worse
than a little flea bite on my arm
cause we were inside a hot air balloon ride
over mountains away from harm
Every day is a peak and all that we seek
is more time together to waste
It seems we are one with the moon and the sun
As the earth came apart
I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
and we just embraced
As long as love has got a hold
we feel no pain, no heat or cold
The clocks will stop and we won't grow old
we'll just go on and on
(In the midst of the rubble I stayed in our bubble
and somehow did not feel a thing
except for your magic, it coulda been tragic
but I wasn't even looking)
and on and on, and on and on
Oooh you let yourself go and your lava would flow
down the mountains and into the clear
I watched the smoke rise, you looked into my eyes
and they melted and started to tear
As long as love has got a hold
we feel no pain, no heat or cold
The clocks will stop and we won't grow old
we'll just go on and on
(We were clinging together to rise thru the nether
as thunder was sent to destroy
It's hard to imagine the scene of this tragedy
just could not alter such joy)
and on and on
and on and on

Hair is greyin' and my branch is swayin'
I got nothing left to give
Standing here as I disappear
This world ain't about me any more
I got lost in the car exhaust
I got nothin' left to give
I been tryin', it ain't gratifyin'
when you don't know what you're doin' it for
you don't know what you're doin' it for
There's an edge for steppin' off right now
If you cannot see the sun
from the path on which you run
just get off it you're finally done
Ain't no glory to your hard luck story
You've got nothing left to give
Each page turned is a lesson learned
the print is just too small for your eyes
You got trailed by some hungry whale
You've got nothing left to give
No control in your small dark hole
This world is deaf to all your futile cries
There's an edge for steppin' off right now
If you cannot see the sun
from the path on which you run
just get off it you're finally done

When morning seems to tell you it will be a banner day
unseasonably warm but such a breeze will come your way
There's not a hint of trouble left to linger as it does
and clearly you have moved beyond the state of what it was
Now everything's alright
At last you can sleep at night
The World changed from dull to bright
in a moment
You barely recognize your life, it's come around so far
An unfamiliar feeling where you know just who you are
A caravan of centeredness is traipsing round the bend
You know that you'll be ready for the sun that beckons then
Now it's time, experience this moment
You have no excuse to not breathe free
There's plenty more where that one came from
Have what you want, yours for the taking
When magic comes it's often suddenly
Now the world is turning, can't you see the moving clouds
The wind blows thru the maple and one bird is singing loud
Can it be that you're exactly where you might belong
In between the sacred halls of nature and a song
