Ready to Go 02:45
Walking feet in front and forward facing easy enough Traveling rushed It’s so hard to think that someday this will all be gone Traveling on Into the out of sight part of the afterlife I hope you leave when you’re ready Signals and signs of life buried in data mines I hope you leave when you’re ready When you’re ready to go just go Set the amplifiers in between the good and bad Heavy and sad Still it;s so hard to feel the fire burning deep in your soul Hard to control But in the morning light your eyes still open wide I hope you leave when you’re ready Signals and satellites floating in distant skies I hope you leave when you’re ready When you’re ready When you’re ready to go just go When you’re ready to go just go When you’re ready to go just go

Same Team 03:23
Before I cut away I’m so crazy bout staying Stuck through the places I always stay playing And once I took a ride to the top of the mountain Held all the elements I drank from the fountain Fell asleep staring at the phone last night Slipped into a beautiful dream’ Everybody everywhere dancing and laughing Everybody on the same team Everybody on the same team So bring the shovel and the salt And the other person’s fault Put them all into a hearse and drive it straight into the earth From the middle of the universe dance the boogie kick the curse Living like we’re given one day at a time Take it one day at a time one day at a time Take it one day, one day, one day, one day I’ll be cut away but I’m crazy bout staying Stuck through these places that I always stay playing And once I took a ride to the top of the mountain Held all the elements and drank from the fountain Fell asleep staring at the phone last night Slipped into a beautiful dream Everybody everywhere dancing and laughing Everybody on the same team Everybody on the same team Fell asleep fell asleep Fell asleep fell asleep Ill be cut away but I’m crazy bout staying Stuck through these places I always stay playing Yea playing yea playing yea playing Play on play on

Slow Train 03:17
Slow train still moves down the line Down the line Whistles never seem to blow right on time right on time But you know time doesn’t wait on your mind its a do what you’d like Man don’t even deny Throw another load of coal in the belly and ride Ride Slow plane still flies through the sky Through the sky People always seem to lie All the time all the time But you know time it’s a friend of mine it’s a blink of an eye you should do what you’d like Throw another load of coal in the belly and ride Ride Quiet in the silence there’s a burning on the horizon Rising to the ceiling Thats the feeling That’s the feeling There right in front of your eyes Hidden in plain sight That is the prize Throw another load of coal in the belly and ride

Older than a young man Wiser in these years Watch the leaves turn golden Fall and disappear Can you understand That it’s easier to land In someone else’s hands To be young is overrated I just felt like i was waiting around Shorter than a tall man Faster on my feet Watch the world turn frozen It’s chattering my teeth Can you understand That it’s easier to land In someone else’s hands To be young was overrated I just felt like I was waiting around Can you understand that it easier to land in someone else’s hands To be warm is underrated So I stay close until it goes away While I listen to the engine turn Think a lot with a whole lot less to say Can you understand That it’s easier to land In someone else’s hands To be young is overrated so I stay close until it goes away Until it goes away (repeat)
