All quiet on the mainstreet
In our garden buried town
All quiet on the mainstreet
From sunrise to sundown
All quiet on the mainstreet
Just take a look around
All quiet on the mainstreet
Just for now
Peeping out your windows
Fingering your locks
Cutain twitchers
Snoops and snitches
Fearful, frightened, frigid
Righteous, rigid
Laughing stocks
All quiet on the mainstreet
All quiet on the mainstreet
All quiet on the mainstreet
In our white picket fence heart
All quiet on the mainstreet
And that's only the start
All quiet on the mainstreet
Just take a look around
All quiet on the mainstreet
Just for now
Peeping out your windows
Fingering your locks
Snoops and snitches
Cutain twitchers
Fearful, frightened, frigid
Righteous, rigid
Laughing stocks
All quiet on the mainstreet
All quiet on the mainstreet

It's raining

Its raining lizards
And falling frogs
I cant see the future
For the fog
Poison pens
Can finally sleep
In the bosom
Of the deep
And its raining
Coming down
Its raining on this town
Coming down
On this town
Falling down
Something crawling
Up downtown
Voices calling
You around
And its raining
Coming down
Its raining on this town
Coming down
On this town
Falling down

Falling out of your front door
Like so many times before
It's not as if we're keeping score
But it's been noted
Navigating bright blue days
To the bar that bears the blame
There we sit in crooked haze
And wonder how it's going
And I can't believe it's happening again
I can't believe it's happening again
Higher than a mountain top
I really think that we should stop
I can't believe it's happening again
Falling out at closing time
Glory of the street light shine
If we've done this 1000 times
There's no way of knowing
Back to flats with storied lives
The wary faces of ex-wives
Spot the business off the knives
and wonder how it's going
And I can't believe it's happening again
I can't believe it's happening again
Higher than a mountain top
There's no way that we can stop
I can't believe it's happening again
And I can't believe it's happening again
I can't believe it's happening again
Higher than a mountain top
I really wish that we could stop
I can't believe it's happening again

You can count on me
I've been checking on your stars
you can count on me
I've been working on my scars
And baby if sometimes
It gets little weird
Turns out darker than you might have feared
Sometimes you just can't put it right
No day for night
No black for white
You can count on me
You can count on me
You can count on me
I've been making us a list
You can count on me
There ain't one sore point I've missed
And baby if sometimes
It gets little weird
Turns out darker than you might have feared
Sometimes you just can't put it right
No day for night
No black for white
You can count on me
You can count on me
You can count on me

Don't look now

Don’t look now
The futures right in front of you
And somehow
The tea leaves never lie
Don’t look now
The past is creeping up on you
If they ask
We can say we never tried
It's yours to take
It's a piece of cake
Hey make no mistake
It's alright
Don’t look now
All your wishes might come true
And somehow
Recommend to the chief
Don’t look now
Commissioned to the marching girls
Take a bow
But we'd better make it brief
A souvenir
of a golden year
You can hold it dear
Hold it tight
It's yours to take
It's a piece of cake
Hey make no mistake
It's alright
