Alive & Well 02:05
I was born in Parkdale, then I moved to High Park, Now I live in Parc-Ex, Shoot hoops at Parc Jarry I was pretty sad but then I got better, Now I'm just happy to feel so alive & well

Gonna move to New York City, get all of my dreams crushed, Then hang around a little while, I'm not feeling that rushed. I'll pay the stupid rent for this stupid little room, Lay sprawled out on the concrete, turn it into my new tomb, And will I feel regretful? Well it really just depends, Another story's over and another one begins. Gonna move back to Toronto, where I first cut my teeth, and lost the baby ones but found a quarter underneath My pillow in my bedroom down the street from that big park, Where we would walk together, lay our backs against tree bark. Now I'll schmooze with promoters, reconnect with my old friends, Another story's over and another one begins. Gonna move to a new apartment, down the street from where I'm at, A bigger room to fit my desk and not a single cat To scratch me after teasing, maybe I just don't know how, To play the game companionship or what it's all about. But I can learn I'll tell ya, just do not ask my friends, Another story's over and another one begins. Another chance is taken, 'round the corner as it bends, Another story's started, and it's time that this one ends.

Escalator 03:47
I must have been dreaming 'cause death didn't save me, I stood over my body. Everything hangs by communication threads, we would be nowhere. Illiterate recipients receiving ransom notes, their parents had been childish. It's been a long while since I've talked face to face, with anyone clearly here at all. I'm not trying to sell you out, I've got my own price to pay, But there's something I've gotta tell ya, I'm here to stay. Oh there have been times when I'm ready to pack it up, but I've always thought twice. Except for that one summer time, oh the summer time comes on by, like sake at the sushi bar. So fill the duffel bag up what can I say but that vine-y streets will deceive you. And don't walk too close to the swinging door that'll push you to the middle of the hall. I'm not trying to sell you out, I've got my own price to pay, But there's something I oughta tell ya, I'm here to stay. 'Cause when you stop, you become stairs But when I stop, everyone stares.

Tip Toes 03:24
Calling all hands to the deck, it's a must-do Hanging around with your friends by the pool and it's sunny Or is it just bright? No one is crowned. How am I supposed to do anything more? Slips through the window and out through the door How could it possibly be anything less? Tip toes around the whole mess Back to the park, where the buses all park in the night Walking around with your mom but she's tired you see it in All of her skin, nothing gets in How am I supposed to do anything more? Slips through security onto the shore How am I supposed to do anything less? Tip toes around all of this You shouldn't have reached for that gun It couldn't have helped anyone around You couldn't have blocked out the sun Away or towards, we must run. Now that you've all been assembled here on the deck Bouncing around all your ideals against the wall, now ask yourself this What can I give up? How am I supposed to do anything more? Slips through the cracks of the old hardwood floor How am I supposed to do anything less? Tip toes around the whole mess.

Tonight might be the night, I finish off the Unicum, Zwack Zwack Zwack. Tonight might be the night, I'm reaching out into that old darkness. Will I get to the bottom of it? Find truth in the bottom of it? Will I get to the bottom of it? It's a bottle Ancestral bend, So bitter, so sweet Zwack Zwack Zwack, I'm reaching out into that old darkness. Will I get to the bottom of it? Find truth in the bottom of it? Will I get to the bottom of it? It's a bottle

Many times I've looked into your eyes and felt a stranger, Often I don't see someone I'd call a friend at all. Nowadays I see you and I notice you look older, But that don't mean your kinder just because you've gotten tall. You look down on me I only look up at the sky, We could be such friends, yes but no, we don't see eye to eye. Many times we've quarrelled over fact or over fiction, Often it's the same side we don't realize we're on. Nowadays I try my best to note the common ground, But you still won't let yourself see it's what we stand upon. I am left to read your words and wonder why you life, We could be such friends, yes but no, we don't see eye to eye. And many times we've acted as if we were not imperfect, As if we had not done many things that we regret. Nowadays I only try to change what I am able, Maybe that's precisely why you see me as a threat. You continue clinging to a pain that will not die, We could be such friends, yes but no, we don't see eye to eye. Never disappointed but I'll keep my hopes up high, We could be such friends, yes but no, we don't see eye to eye. We don't see eye to eye.
