On the Floor (demo)

I'm sorry if I took it too far
I'm the sorta guy who just wants more
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
The night was young and I was the star
But you should have shown me the door
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
It's all too easy to make mistakes
We try and try to live and learn
But when you're a hot youngblood
You always think it's your turn
Now I can't look in the mirror
Because I feel like such a bore
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
It's ironic how the tables have turned
I wonder what else you have in store
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
It's so easy to have regrets
My consciousness can be so stern
Perhaps I should think things over
What reputation will I earn?
So why do you keep badgering me
About the things I've apologized for
I didn't mean to cause such harm
I've never really done this before
Time to do what I do best
Gotta see if I can settle the score
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
You need to catch me when I'm vulnerable
When I'm asking who, why and what for?
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor
On the floor ...

Can't Go Back Now

Wasn't it so simple
When I didn't have to think
You made the decisions
And painted the walls pink
You made me kneel
All for my daily bread
You stole my psyche
And screwed with my head
In need of an out
You declared me safe
It was a ruling
That made me chafe
And isn't it any wonder
Why I can't go back now
I can't go back now
Can't go back now
Tried to explain my needs
But all you did was balk
I saw my shadows on the wall
They were outlined in chalk
I made my suggestions
You said take it or leave it
Now did I bite my lip
Or just pack up and quit?
Expected to live this way
I couldn't take anymore
The honeymoon is over
When co-existing becomes a chore
And isn't it any wonder
Why I can't go back now
I can't go back now
Can't go back now
Years have gone by
Maybe I have grown wise
But she cannot let go
She keeps her eye on the prize
She cannot control me, I declare
Though I know it to be untrue
Because I can only remember
All the victims that she slew
I used to think if she wondered
Why I began to never drop by
The truth of the matter is
I can no longer beg nor can she lie
And isn't it any wonder
Why I can't go back now
I can't go back now
Can't go back now

Pretty Heavy Lifting

Woke up, it's quarter to eight
Oh no, I'm gonna be late
Called you up to say I'll be there
A courtesy call so you know I care
Got to work at half-past nine
It's alright, hey, I'm feeling fine
I could do this all day or night
Did I mention I'm doing alright?
Pretty heavy lifting
Pretty heavy lifting
All night long
Pretty heavy lifting
Pretty heavy lifting
Gonna sing you this song
Hey ho, it's time to go home
But in case you're feeling alone
Place out a bottle and some sweets
We'll make a night of it, tout suite
Did you wanna play a game of chess
Or did you simply want to undress?
It really doesn't matter to me
I'm only here to see what I can see
Pretty heavy lifting
Pretty heavy lifting
All of the time
Pretty heavy lifting
Pretty heavy lifting
Gonna make you mine
8:45, get up and back to work
Can hardly move, I can only jerk
Sometimes I think I'm going nowhere
Have to ask myself if I care
Then you come to me in my dreams
And all is not just as it seems
I think I could get used to this
Keep me supplied and life will be bliss
Pretty heavy lifting
Pretty heavy lifting
All night long
Pretty heavy lifting
Pretty heavy lifting
Gonna sing you this song

I wandered about the town
And there just happened to be
A man standing on a roof
I was reminded of you and me
I could run 20 miles
And I could bring home the bread
But I don't really think that
Would register in your head, and
Only the crickets seem to care
Only the crickets seem to care
I stepped outside of myself
And the world was how I thought it should be
All my friends know I love to daydream
But you think I'm out of my tree
Now I could be a scholar
I could have a PhD in the arts
But my dear, I fear that you will
Fail to see me as the sum of my parts, and
Only the crickets seem to care
Only the crickets seem to care
I shouldn't be so sensitive
I know that you actually have a life
But if it's all the same
Why am I walking on the edge of a knife?
So here we are at an impasse
And I feel that I'm much to blame
Yet I can't help but cringe
When you tell me that I'm insane
But I could jump off the Eiffel Tower
Just like that dude back in 1912
And I could fall flat on my face
And my broken body you would delve
Only the crickets seem to care
Only the crickets seem to care
Only the crickets seem to care
Only the crickets seem to care
