Looks Like Rain

Lookin for some sunshine
it's another crazy day
but the sky is getting darker
the color of my pain

looks like rain
looks like the shoe's about to fall
looks like rain
and I don't feel a thing at all
I dream of something better
but it always ends the same
each day is like the other
looks like rain

lookin' for some answers
not a lot to say
the glow that used to shine down
has all but gone away

looks like rain
looks like the shoe's about to fall
looks like rain
and I don't feel a thing at all
I dream of something better
but it always ends the same
each day is like the other
looks like rain

I'm Gettin; Older (And I'm Growin' Up Slow)

i ain't got a dollar to my name
for what it's worth it doesn't mean a thing
i could have a thousand
a million bucks or more
but i'd blow it all on happiness
and end up on the floor

used to be so easy
to dream a young man's dreams
life goes on and i find out
it's harder than it seems
i try to make it better
as down the road i go
but i'm gettin' older
and i'm growin' up slow

I could be the king of everything
but titles don't do me no good at all
if you can't be a winner
in the game you wanna play
there ain't no home or castle
gonna please you anyway

used to be so easy
to dream a young man's dreams
life goes on and i find out
it's harder than it seems
i try to make it better
as down the road i go
but i'm gettin' older
and i'm growin' up slow

i once thought i'd be there
on that bandstand on TV
i'm still waitin' for the call
stuck somewhere in between

used to be so easy
to dream a young man's dreams
life goes on and i find out
it's harder than it seems
i try to make it better
as down the road i go
but i'm gettin' older
and i'm growin' up slow

The Alien

(Verse 1)
he comes to save us
he comes to win
he's out there waiting
to do it all again
there is something
he means to change
something better
but it's all the same

(chorus)
and you can call him the alien
'cause of what he's done
you can call him the wind
you can call him whatever you want
he'll come calling again

(verse 2)
he lives the nightlife
he sleeps by day
he's looking for light
in everything
he's a dreamer
can't find his dream
you can see him
in everything he's been

(chorus)
and you can call him the alien
'cause of what he's done
you can call him the wind
you can call him whatever you want
he'll come calling again

(bridge)
from the billion points of light
scattered in the darkened sky
he is far from home
he is missing them tonight

(chorus)
and you can call him the alien
'cause of what he's done
you can call him the wind
you can call him whatever you want
he'll come calling again
