Always Be Drunk Lyrics

Where the Time Goes
Now if somehow I thought I could
I'd stop these days
And spend my time with you always

But I know I can't stop time
Today is done
Thought back to 1991

And I don't know where the time goes
No I don't know where the time goes

Found that I was feeling low
Out of place
Distorted lines across my face

Stayed in bed and slept all day
Got home late
Swore it was 1988

And I don't know where the time goes
No I don't know where the time goes

Now I know I cannot stop
The way I feel
Lost in a dream that's so unreal

But I know I can't stop time
Today is done
Thought back to 1991

And I don't know where the time goes
No I don't know where the time goes
And I don't know where the time goes
No I don't know where the time goes

1998

Independence Day
She would always find
Emotion lost in time
Left her past behind
And moved far away
She'd move far away

To another town
Strangers all around
As the sun goes down
She's got no regrets
She's got no regrets

Days all turn to years
She's over come her fears
The bitterness and tears
Melt slowly with time
So slowly with time

Now in memory
She looks back to see
The girl who broke free
And stood on her own
She stood on her own
Forever always
Independence day

1999

Everybody Knows You're a Star
You kicked your feet up on the table
Proclaimed yourself the reigning king
Said you'd like your glass to be filled
So we could toast you, kiss your ring

O you've really climbed the mountain
And left the others far behind
O you're the man the women ask for
A legend in your jaded mind

You've come too far
Now everybody knows that you're a star -- at least you think you are
You've come too far
Now everybody knows that you're a star -- O in your mind you are

Gossip about you on the talk shows
They write about you in the press
In the backseat of a limo
Making it with an heiress

You've come too far
Now everybody knows that you're a star -- at least you think you are
You've come too far
Now everybody knows that you're a star -- O in your mind you are

1999

Morven
She's always willing to stay
But never more than a day
Her intuition her guide
A rock and roll suicide

She'd leave the cold north behind
Dreamt of the south in her mind
The disco lights flashing slow
She's pumped and ready to go

She never got so far
Before she could see
You can rave all night
But can't alter reality -- can't alter reality

A frenzy on the dance floor
Finds her connection to score
She curls up by the sea
Her head exploding with E

She never got so far
Before she could see
You can rave all night
But can't alter reality -- can't alter reality

She never got so far
Before she could see
You can rave all night
But can't alter reality -- can't alter reality

Can't alter reality

1999

Looked at the Sun
You were clever, decadent and smart
Trying out forbidden things you'd find
Caught on fire like Joan of Arc
Excesses bring down everyone in time

She left her mark on that scene
Her face in a magazine
Thought she was having fun
Until she looked at the sun -- looked at the sun

She left her mark on that scene
Her face in a magazine
Thought she was having fun
Until she looked at the sun -- looked at the sun, looked at the sun

O she took it all way too far
End of party, late night revelry
Riding in a stranger's car
Caught by dangers she would never see

She left her mark on that scene
Her face in a magazine
Thought she was having fun
Until she looked at the sun -- looked at the sun

She left her mark on that scene
Her face in a magazine
Thought she was having fun
Until she looked at the sun -- looked at the sun

She left her mark on that scene
Her face in a magazine
Thought she was having fun
Until she looked at the sun -- looked at the sun

Nobody told her
Nobody warned her
Nobody told her

Nobody told her
Nobody warned her
Nobody told her

Never Easy
Just lying on an unmade bed
Lights are flashing in my head
The red and the blue
Remind me of you
O it's never easy

I gave all that I had to give
Now you're just seeing how the other half live
From my point of view
Nothing gets you through
And it's never easy

I'm hoping for the best today
Hope these dreams won't fade away
With me every night
Then gone in the light
O it's never easy

Good to hear you're doing so fine
But for me it takes a long time
O such a long time
But I know some day
The sun will shine

Waiting for these days to end
Changes that will soon begin
I watch the sunset
And live to forget
O it's never easy

Good to hear you're doing so fine
But for me it takes a long time
O such a long time
But I know some day
The sun will shine

Just lying on an unmade bed
Lights are flashing in my head
The red and the blue
Remind me of you
And it's never easy

1999

Angela
Angela sits back
In front of her window
Nothing to do or to say

Morning in silence
The traffic is quiet
The hours soon pass away
The night absolving the day

As she stares
At a world beyond these walls
At a world where nobody calls out her name
And her life remains unchanged

Now Angela sits back
In front of her window
Nothing to do or to say

Morning in silence
The traffic is quiet
The hours soon pass away
The night absolving the day

As she stares
At a world beyond these walls
At a world where nobody calls out her name
And her life remains unchanged

1999

Don't Know These Days
Awake every daybreak
Fatigued from the evening
And you don't know these days
And you don't know these days

The gray is unfolding
On eyelids of morning
And you don't know these days
And you don't know these days

Lights are glowing distorting your sight
Take a breath close your eyes
Can't distinguish the from night
Heaven knows if you're alive
So many days you've survived

And you don't know these days
And you don't know these days

Lay Your Burden Down
Lay your burden down, lay it on me
Now you can be what you wanted to be
Don't ever think that you're alone
Together free at last and you've found a home

Time rushes by -- say that you'll stay
And stand by my side forever today
Sweet solitude, sweet tenderness
Come in from outside, from the wilderness

Everybody Knows That You're a Star E.P. Lyrics

Five Times
I thought of you five times today
Just when I swore I'd forgotten you
How foolishly I let you go
And now I wish that wasn't true

So I hope and I yearn but I know you'll not return
And I won't see your face again

If I could change the world I'd see
Beauty, heaven at my door
Sometimes it gets so hard to speak
To say I couldn't love you more

So I cheat and I steal but I know that it's unreal
And I won't see your face again BREAK

So I cheat and I steal because it's just the way I feel
And I won't see your face again

2000

Mellow Drunk
On a mellow morning
Not a cloud in the sky
I've got no worries
And won't question why
All the green, green bottles
Are my only friends
I'm high I'm drifting
Until I'm down again

O the sun is shining - nothing on my mind
O and I don't miss you - and I'm doing fine
And I'm doing fine

Never looking back now
And the future's unclear
But I won't reach out
For you my dear
On a mellow morning
Not a cloud in the sky
I walk these same streets
But there's no you only I

O the sun is shining - nothing on my mind
O and I don't miss you - and I'm doing fine
And I'm doing fine

Not Afraid
What was it that drew you to me?
Chance somehow formed our destiny
O I could see…
That you are not afraid

Your eyes are something
I adore Your footsteps just outside my door
I knew for sure…
That you are not afraid
