augustana - boston

In the light of the sun, is there anyone?
Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost...
Eyes are red and tears are shed
The world you must've crossed, you said

You don't know me
You don't even care... oh yeah
She said, you don't know me
You don't wear my chains... oh yeah
Yeah...

Essential and appealed...
Carry all your thoughts
Across and open field...
When flowers gaze at you...
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you
You said

You don't know me
You don't even care... oh yeah
She said, you don't know me
You don't wear my chains... oh yeah

She said I think I'll go to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover and fly'em out to Spain

I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer some snow would be nice... oh yeah

You don't know me
You don't even care... oh yeah

Boston...where no one knows my name, yeah
No one knows my name...
No one knows my name...yeah
Boston... no one knows my name
Boston... no one knows my name

augustana - alive

This is not a lesson
And this is not a cry for help
This is not a test
And this is not for someone else

Yeah this one's for you and everything you do
For every time you said this was forever
Yeah this one's for me, I'm starting to believe
You and I were born to be together

Yeah and I can feel it right now
I'm just where I want to be
I reach out, and you're right in front of me
We are unstoppable, we are unbreakable, we are invincible together
And I feel alive with you

Well this is not a battle
And this is not a field of blood
And this is not as easy
Not as easy as it was

Well this is not a devil
And this is not a child of God
And this is not a message
And this is not a double shot
Hell, I'm just loving you babe with everything I got...

augustana - angels

Oooh Woahoh
Oooh Woahoh
Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Or would I take it all back if
If I find something new?

I know there's something out there
I know there's something I fear
Run away from here
I know there's something more to this
In this dark room, nothing that shines
Run away from here

Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Or would I take it all back if
If I find something new?

I'm falling, I am down
I've fallen, are you around?
And I know it's you
I'm leaving, I'm with me
I'm leaving, tell me the truth
And I know it's you

Will I fight with an angel
Will I leave here with you
Will I take it all back if
If I find something new

Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new

Oooh Woahoh (Repeat x15)

Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new

Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new
Yeah

Will I fight with an angel
Will I leave here with you
Will I take it all back if
If I find something new
Yeah

Would I fly with an angel
(Fly with you...)
Would I leave here with you
(Fly with you...)
Would I take it all back if
(Fly...)
If I find something new
(Fly...)

Oooh Woahoh

augustana - augustana

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...

You don't know me, you don't even care,
She said
You don't know me, you don't wear my chains...

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see you
You said...

You don't know me, you don't even care,
She said
You don't know me, you don't wear my chains...

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...
Boston... where no one knows my name...

augustana - borrowed time

Standing in the doorway of forgiveness
Just like a sinner in the sun
But the sky above her, she hard lover
She donâ??t know which way to run

Weâ??re only here, weâ??re only here,
Weâ??re only here on borrowed time

Weâ??re only here, weâ??re only here,
Weâ??re only here on borrowed time

If I took too much for granted
If the dark must come before the light
Like the years have followed, leaves me hollow
God knows I need you by my side

Weâ??re only here, weâ??re only here,
Weâ??re only here on borrowed time

Weâ??re only here, weâ??re only here,
Weâ??re only here on borrowed time

I know my days with you are numbered
When the dust around is clear
You discover a hard lover
You got nothing left to fear

Weâ??re only here, weâ??re only here,
Weâ??re only here on borrowed time

Weâ??re only here, weâ??re only here,
Weâ??re only here on borrowed time

augustana - bullets

Come fly down, like a singing bird
Sings your name, I am still the same
Black and white, no you're not to blame
Holly sweet, put me down to shame

Lights in the car in the park
I'm falling on my face I know who we are
And I ain't looking down for the rest of the night
A bullet in my head ended late last night

Jack and coke, please take off your coat
Come and smile, please stay here a while
Come and dance, shuffle with a glance
When you're gone, bring in for the dawn

She's shaking in the car with the gun in her hands
Falling over love and a sweet romance
And I ain't never thought it could come down to this
A bullet in my head, with the sweetest kiss
it's in my head

It's in my head
(My head) (x2)

She's shaking in the car with the gun in her hands
Falling over love and a sweet romance
And I ain't never thought it could come down to this
A bullet in my head, my head, my head
It's in my head
It's in my head
It's in my head
It's in my head
It's in my head

augustana - california s burning

California's burning, burning, burning to the ground...
and my heade is turning, turning, turning round and round...
alie's stomach's churning, churning, like a storm today...
and your mother's crying, crying, closing up the safe...

and I'm here, wondering where the sun has gone...
driving through a Midwest storm,
asking why there's no one home...

Encinitas likes to miss me, like nobody's child..
and my eyes like rainy Tuesdays, like to watch you smile...

and I'm here, wondering where the sun has gone...
driving through a Midwest storm,
asking why there's no one home...

augustana - coffee and cigarettes

Wake up, take your pills dear, I know this time of year ain't
right for you...
you came with a sickness, shot down back in Christmas,
Kamikaze rain...
and I'm sure you've lost that weight again,
I'm sure the pills keeping pouring in,
like smoke that falls, it's caving into you...
so put me on a plane, and fly me to anywhere...with you...

one night...when you woke up, you bled...till you spoke up,
oh this ain't pretty dear,
with clocks, watch the time go...till spring, when the sun can
finally be free...
and I'm sure you've lost that weight again,
I'm sure the pills keeping pouring in,
we'll scream at night, to make it go away...
so put me on a plane, and fly me to anywhere...with you...

augustana - counting stars

Everything has a reason
Everything has a start
Anything that ever burned
Had a spark
Anything I ever wanted
Anyone I ever needed
Always seemed to leave me standing in the dark

Suddenly I'm caught in your light
Opened the door, and you stepped inside
And I'm watching the hours
Looking for reasons
Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart
'Til you're back in my arms,
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars
Counting the stars

Nothing could ever touch us
Nothing gonna shake my faith
Nothing in this big, bad world will ever take you away
Like a rolling hurricane
Nothing's standing in our way
Full of life, full of grace, in a perfect place

Suddenly I'm caught in your light
Opened the door, and you stepped inside
And I'm watching the hours
Looking for reasons
Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart
'Til you're back in my arms,
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars
Counting the stars

Like a rolling hurricane
Nothing's standing in our way
Full of life, full of grace, in a perfect place

Suddenly I'm caught in your light
Opened the door, and you stepped inside
And I'm watching the hours
Looking for reasons
Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart
'Til you're back in my arms,
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars

Counting the stars
Counting the stars
I'll be waiting 'til you're back in my arms
I'll be waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting up
Counting the stars

augustana - devil s blue eyes

I pull up my blanket
Up to my ears
In an old Irish prison
Stained with tears

I'm trapped in a jail cell
Black and grey
But I ain't afraid man
So see that I leave

But I ain't been locked here
More than my crime
He used to be walking
With faith by my side

I went and lost it
On a warm summer night
The night that I saw him
With the Devil's blue eyes

See I was a good man
A long time ago
Born and raised in surreals (??)
New Mexico

See I had a mother
Sweet as could be
She said son don't you follow
Your daddy's bad ways

So I found a woman
She was my wife
We made a living
And a beautiful child

Damn we were happy
With plenty of cash
But then my sweet lord
Took my babies and left

See I was just walking
On a cold winter eve
Took the train home then
And took out my keys

Unlocked the front door
Only to find
My wife and my babies
And the blood had run dry

He raped them and shot them
And shot them through twice
I screamed through the ceiling
And ran through the house

I saw his face covered
With the blood of my wife
That's when I saw him
With the Devil's blue eyes

And before I could catch him
He had escaped
I got on my knees
And I started to pray

I said what have we done here
To deserve such pain
Sweet lord you're a liar
And I'm alone once again

Lord if I may ask you
For one simple thing
I'd pray that I'd find him
You did these deeds

I'd kill that man slowly
So he no longer breathes
Oh and if I am hell bound
Then so let it be

Some 40 years later
I was barely alive
Travelling the world
With revenge by my side

I was passing by Dublin
On a carnival ride
And that's when I saw him
With the Devil's blue eyes

It took me a moment
To round supplies
So I pulled out my black gun
And I shot him through twice

He fell down quite slowly
No resistance or tears
He looked in to my eyes
And then it was clear

As I watched him there dying
A thought came to mind
What good had I done here
I'd taken his life

His blood run across me
And soaked me through, right
Then I'd become
The Devil's blue eyes

So I pull up my blanket
Up to my ears
In an old Irish prison
Stained with tears

And although I've done wrong
And cursed the skies
So now I will die here
With the Devil's blue eyes

augustana - dust

So Go on tear it off
Black and cold with the dust
Cause I believed in the Lord
But he don't show up anymore

If you can't trust the wind,
Who can you trust?
If you can't love sin,
Who can you love?
If begin will you let me finish up?
If I fell down would you pick me up?
If I don't drink from a silver cup, like you
Would you say so long, farewell, goodluck?

So Go on tear it off
Black and cold with the dust
Cause I believed in the Lord
But he don't show up anymore

If a man can't lie,
How can he speak?
If the sun don't rise,
Would the moon be out of reach?
If I came home
Would you get down on your knees?

So Go on tear it off
Black and cold with the dust
I believed in the Lord
But he don't show up anymore

Cause I believed in the Lord
Said I don't wanna know
Cause I believed in the lord
Said I don't wanna know
I believed in the lord
He don't show up
He don't show up
He don't show up anymore
Anymore

augustana - either way

You're all I have
that's the way things go
but I don't know
I just don't know
Make up some simple lies
And compromise how I live

Cause either way
I'll break your heart someday
And leaving you's the last thing on my mind
so when i go baby kiss me slow
so i don't forget to make my way back home
when it's cold

Sail away
on a wayward ship
Candy lips in my grips
Cheap perfume
oh it never lies
can't supply and it could advise

Cause either way
i'll break your heart someday
and leaving you's the last thing on my mind (uh huh) yeah
so when i go baby kiss me slow
so i don't forget to make my way back home
when it's cold

I'll miss you in the winter
your friends say I should listen
Can't you see I've loved you all along
if america dont like me
you can say I finally
I'm the cableman who only knocks on the door
should anyone, should anyone.

augustana - empty days

she is walking on the clouds
and falling in between the crowds
she's trying and crying and dying but i don't stick around
i don't know where i came from
i don't know where i'm going
all i know is won't you take me, won't you take me, won't you take me away?

what would it be
turn out the lights
what would it be
to try to not try
what is the answer
to all my spiders
spirits gone, pushed it away

i tripped on these roads everyday
it seems like they never ever change
they don't know how i got here
oh and neither do you
all these days they go so fast
no they go so slow
all i know is won't you take me, won't you take me, won't you take me away?

what would it be
turn out the lights
what would it be
to try to not try
what is the answer
to all of my spiders
spirits gone, i pushed it away
saying, spirits gone, i pushed it away

oh i'm singing,
na na na na na na na na na na na
away, oh away
and we're singing,
na na na na na na na na na na na
away, oh away
and we're singing,
na na na na na na na na na na na
away, oh away
and we're singing now,
na na na na na na na na na na na
away, oh away

augustana - feel fine

Tonight...I am.

So far away, say what you say,
I am afraid, I'm so afraid...

Tonight...
I'm running away tonight...
Tonight...I am.

Throwin' all my calls away,
You don't need me, you don't need me
Drink at night and sleep all day,
Well I don't need you, I don't need you
I drove on every interstate,
You don't need me, you don't need me...
Well anyways, yeah anyways,
It's over, over, over, over now...

Tonight...
I'm running away tonight...
Tonight...I am.
