Cigarette

Hey baby, lets go out and walk a little while now
Cause you know you make me feel
Like maybe, we could break it down and rearrange it
Let me tell you everything
Chorus
I fell in love with you baby, don't know when
I wanna know why you smoke that cigarette
We could be gone by tomorrow, just say yes
Don't be alone when you smoke that cigarette
Verse 2
Hey baby, there's no better time to be reminded
That we're not out of place
And maybe, we could change the world if we could find it
Here in outer space
Bridge
Is it ever enough, just turn and watch them burn away
How do they carry on, without you now
Verse 3
Hey baby, lets go out and walk a little while now
Cause you know you make me feel
Like maybe, we could break it down and rearrange it
Let me show you what I mean
Chorus
Outro
Hey baby, we could break it down
And maybe, we could break it down, we could break it down

Slip Away
03:31

Verse:
How bout a trip to the ocean, we'll take a ship into the stratosphere
If you don't feel like flying, we'll just drive away from here
It's the sadness in your eyes, makes me wanna disappear
Chorus:
Slip away, why don't we drift away from here
We'll take a trip away, why don't we slip away from here
Verse 2:
I see you're living the good lie, you gotta cling to all those things
But there's a true elation, to what imagination brings
Thats Just part of what you are, shake it loose and spit it out
Bridge:
A long time ago, I would have wanted her, to see me now
But now I'm awake and I will not hesitate
I'm bound to say what's on my mind

Pain Makes You Beautiful
03:39
|
|||
Verse 1
So you think you're going solo
And you're never looking back
Gonna change that creepy silence in your head
As your confidence reacts
Fooled yourself and learned your lesson
Now it's over and you've known for so long
Chorus
That pain makes you beautiful
You're pretty and you're best in black
Pain makes you beautiful
You'll find it when you're looking back
Verse 2
It's been on your tongue for so long
All the words that take you there
Can't connect the voice inside with what's outside your head
And you always take the blame it's a losing game
I think it's time you see the upside
Now it's over and you've known for so long
Bridge
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
Verse 3
Get inside that creepy silence in your head
As your confidence reacts, take it back

Burn
03:20
|
|||
Verse 1:
Sugar cane made me run back again, waste the day lose my soul
Have a laugh that I'd still be down for it, back again to sink like a stone
Chorus:
This perfect twisted silence, won't let me hear the truth
I'll run but I can't hide my heart cries out and I burn for you
Verse 2:
I got lost on my search for gravity, no one came to rescue me
Get in line there's always another day, put it off until it bleeds
Bridge:
Come whisper into my ear, can't get it out of my head no
I'm bound to sink like a stone

Better
04:05
|
|||
Verse 1
I don't know what you've been told, but you've been searching all night
For something you will never find
Promises that you've been sold, will never make you feel right
Changes have to come from your mind
Chorus
Up and out of bed she said
So much earlier than usual
Up and on the streets again
Gonna take what she's been given in her life, and make it right
Got to make it better, got to make it better
Verse 2
You can't believe everything they say, it's part of your disease now
They don't care much anyway
Or you can do what's in your heart, never look behind again
Don't live to miss what you threw away
Chorus
Up and out of bed he said
So much earlier than usual
Up and on the streets again
Gonna take what he's been given in his life, and make it right
Got to make it better, got to make it better
Bridge
Better, got to make it better yet, better still
Don't hold on to what you threw away
Chorus
Up and out of bed they said
So much earlier than usual
Up and on the streets again
Gonna take what they've been given in this life
And make it right, take this life, got to make it right
And make it better, got to make it better
Got to make it better, got to make it better yet, better still
Don't hold on watch it all float away
Make it better, got to make it better

Michael Mastro Cleveland, Ohio
Michael grew up around influences of classic rock, pop and jazz. Early on he was exposed to a variety of musical styles from Grand Funk, Parliament Funkadelic, Jimi Hendrix, Sinatra, Steve Earle and everything in-between. "I remember making my dad buy me the Parliament album with Maggot Brain on it because I was the kid who was fascinated by the song with the cool guitar sound and solo." ... more
