Mystified lyrics - Better Than Ezra
She must have been a hell of a princess
Brush fire burning out of a Midwest town
A cosmopolitan place, Topeka, Topeka, Topeka
Daddy got a new job in Lodi
SF became a mighty fine place to drown
But such a waste of grace, when I think about it now
She's 16 again in a summer dress
Driving with a new permit
Then life came along and ruined it
I'm mystified
She ain't Miss America
Won't be a blushing bride
In my dirty mind
I'm the game-winning quarterback
She's cheering from the sidelines, yeah
She lookin' wonderful
And knowing it
Take me to heaven
For the hell of it
She lookin' wonderful
And knowing it
Joyriding in the mother ship
We used to be the hometown heroes
I bet they're wondering, where are their heroes now?
A million miles from a place like Topeka, Topeka, Topeka
Another sad story in the Tenderloin
Or heavy hitters riding high
I'll leave it all to you to make up your minds
I'm mystified
She ain't Miss America
Won't be a blushing bride
In my dirty mind
I'm the game-winning quarterback
She's cheering from the sidelines, yeah
She lookin' wonderful
And knowing it
Take me to heaven
For the hell of it
She lookin' wonderful
And knowing it
Joyriding in the mother ship
Now you're 16 again in a summer dress
Choking on a cigarette
Then life came along and ruined it, yeah
I'm mystified she ain't Miss America
Won't be a blushing bride
In my dirty mind
I'm the game-show heart attack
I'm taking home the grand prize, yeah
You're lookin' wonderful and knowing it
Take me to heaven in your burned out crypt, yeah
You're lookin' wonderful and knowing it
Joyriding in the mother ship
I'm mystified, yeah
Live A Little lyrics - Better Than Ezra
I got a million things to do
I got so much I wanna prove
But life is like a Rubik's cube and
I'm stuck and I don't know which way to move
There's a moral to the story
We all need a taste of glory
So don't bore us, hit the chorus
Go big, get loud or go home
You gotta wake up every morning
See the day as a gift
You gotta check that bucket list
Before you go to the crypt
'Cause if you wanna light a fire
Then you gotta get lit
You gotta live a little bit
Live a little bit
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
You wanna go home with the prize
You wanna see your name in lights
You better learn to sacrifice
Take your love and your blood and
Put 'em on the line
There's a moral to the story
We all need a taste of glory
So don't bore us hit the chorus
Go big get loud or go home
You gotta wake up every morning
See the day as a gift
You gotta check that bucket list
Before you go to the crypt
'Cause if you wanna light a fire
Then you gotta get lit
You gotta live a little bit
Live a little bit
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
I don't know where the future goes
8 billion people who feel alone
Ain't no time to feel broken love
Life is waiting, why be patient
Life is waiting!
You gotta wake up every morning
See the day as a gift
You gotta check that bucket list
Before you go to the crypt
'Cause if you wanna light a fire
Then you gotta get lit
You gotta live a little bit
Live a little bit
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
Wake up you gotta live a little
Live a little
Wake up you gotta live a little
Live a little
Wake up you gotta live a little
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little
Live a little

Super Magick lyrics - Better Than Ezra
I break apart your elements
The soul, your spirit, bone and skin
There's something undefined
I'll never recognize
It's running through my mind
I wanna give it a name
It's rewiring my head
The current in this bed
Electromagnetic pulling me
Back in again
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's super magick
Distill you down see what I find
My god I can't believe my eyes
It's in between the light
A whisper in the night
Somehow I know it's right
I gotta give it a name
I'm feeling it again
The words we leave unsaid
Electromagnetic pulling me
Back in again
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's super magick
Out of the thin air
You're everywhere
Out of the thin air
You're everywhere
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's super magick
It's where I don't need to understand
Your soul holds the sweetest sleight of hand
It's where I don't need to understand
Your soul holds the sweetest, the sweetest
Sleight of hand
This Time lyrics - Better Than Ezra
After all the empty starts and beautiful illusions
How can I be sure you're even here
Maybe I'm too cynical to fall until it's proven
Or maybe you're my year after year
Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay, don't let me go
I'm waiting for a sign
So tell me that it's real this time
Open up the curtains, yeah
Clear off all the tables
I'm hoping we can change my history
'Cause who am I to recognize the truth from a fable
When you're the one I'm wanting to believe
Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay, don't let me go
I'm waiting for a sign
So tell me that it's real this time
Make it true
Kill this doubt
'Cause from such heights it's a long way down
Break my fall
Catch me now
Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay don't let me go
I'm waiting on a sign
Tell me it's real this time
I'm waiting for a sign
I need to know it's real this time
Contact High lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Layin' up somewhere in the desert
Rock bottom of the golden state
Pappy and Harriet's is little
But what you working really ain't
You blow a little smoke in my face
My inhibitions evaporate
Don't you look special
Don't you look sweet
Cooking up something I wanna eat
Whatever shit that you're on
I gotta contact high
And now you're crawling up on the bar
You make a dead man grab his heart
I gotta contact high
You blew a fortune on a startup
That desert dust went to your head
You say wanna go to Marfa
You're tired of following the Dead
So raise a bottle up make up a toast
And shake the hand of the holy ghost
Don't you look special
Don't you look sweet
Cooking up something I wanna eat
Whatever shit that you're on
I gotta contact high
And now you're dancing up on the bar
You make the young dogs grab their heart
Well yeah
I was in the desert for awhile
But it's spiritual, you know
Like Sedona and the vortexes
Don't you look special
Don't you look sweet
Cooking up something I wanna eat
Whatever shit that you're on
I gotta contact high
And now your reaching out for my guitar
As you're falling right off the bar
You shoulda seen the look on your face
When I floated off to outer space
I gotta contact high
Contact high
I've got a contact high
I've got a contact high
I'm making contact
Grateful lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Where's the silver linin'
I wake up to the sound, of the sound
Of the whole world cryin'
You hear it long enough, long enough
And your hope starts dyin'
Got a million things to do
What's the point in tryin', tryin'
I'm tryin' anyway
I'm gonna be grateful every day
Make a little wave and we'll ride it
I'm gonna keep shakin' off the shade
Make a little ray and we'll shine it, shine it, shine it on
We may never get a halo
It don't look like heaven, but you're always gonna be my angel
Everybody keep runnin' till they get to the end of that rainbow
There may be no pot of gold
But that's okay though, 'kay though
That's okay though
I'm gonna be grateful every day
Make a little wave and we'll ride it
I'm gonna keep shakin' off the shade
Make a little ray and we'll shine it, shine it, shine it on
Yeah we keep on rising, never gonna stop
Yeah we keep on shining, shining on
Yeah we keep on rising, we're never gonna stop
Yeah we keep on shining, shining, shining, shining on
I'm gonna be grateful every day
Make a little wave and we'll ride it
I'm gonna keep shakin' off the shade
Make a little ray and we'll shine it, shine it, shine it on
Sensation lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Trouble is all the plans you made
And the walls you paint are crumbling to the ground
And medicine she's a bitter pill, wanna another taste

Bad Communication lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Glad that I picked up your call
Cause your voice is like a chemical
Sinking 'til it numbs my brain
Now your words are sounding heavenly
Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
I love it when you speak
And I don't understand it
What?
Bad communication
Tongue tied in your mouth
But if you move in my direction
Betcha words spill right out, don't it feel right
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy
Take me somewhere I don't know
From the Beach to the Hills from the North to the South
Anywhere you wanna go
From your lips through your teeth
Spinning round and around
Huh?
Bad communication
Tongue tied in your mouth
But if you move in my direction
Betcha words spill right out, don't it feel right
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy
Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
I love it when you speak
And I don't understand it
Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
I love it when you speak
And I don't understand it
What?
Bad communication
Tongue tied in your mouth
But if you move in my direction
Betcha words spill right out, don't it feel right
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-talk to me
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy
Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy
Talk to me in French
Talk to me in Spanish
Cause I'm oh so needy
I'm oh so needy
Fuzzy lyrics - Better Than Ezra
I been thinking counting reasons
Even wrote 'em down in a ball point letter
I'm not drinking but I'm seeing double
Every time you wear that hot pink sweater
I like your yoga arms
In your sun dress
You read to me in bed
Quoting the Alchemist
You make me tongue-tied
I keep you laughing
Every single time you come around me
Baby I get
Fuzzy, honey, funny how you got me feeling
Fuzzy, honey, got me dancing on the ceiling
And you know exactly what to do
You got me fuzzy
Hey, you got me feeling kinda righteous
Like I took a hit of nitrous in a dentist's office
Wait, I'm not implying you're a dentist I'm just
Dizzy with a feeling and I think you know what I meant
Fuzzy, honey, funny how you got me feeling
Fuzzy, honey, got me dancing on the ceiling
And you know exactly what to do
You got me fuzzy
I'm not drinking but I'm seeing double
Every time you wear that hot pink sweater
Fuzzy, honey, funny how you got me feeling
Fuzzy, honey, got me dancing on the ceiling
And you know exactly what to do
You know exactly what to do
Yeah you got me fuzzy
Omens lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Everything has a double meaning
Nothing's ever what it seems
Spend eternity still believing
What becomes of you and me
Are you a friend of mine
Or just a warning sign?
If we could go back in the past, love
Crazy what we could find
DVR decisions good and bad, love
Make those wrong things right
Were you a friend of mine
Or just a warning sign?
Omens, omens, telling me to run
Louder than life but I don't listen
Darling I'm a sucker for disaster
Spinning on a razor's edge
Nobody can see into the future
Why should we live with regret?
Are you still a friend of mine
Or just a warning sign?
Omens, omens, telling me to run
Louder than life but I don't listen
Nothing that I want is ever what I need
Somewhere in the middle of two extremes
Happiness and horror in a lucid dream
What are you holding for me now?
Tell me the future
What are you holding for me now?
Omens, omens, telling me to run
Louder than life but I don't listen
Omens
Omens
Louder than life but I don't listen
Killing It lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Staring at this setlist
I been here before
I'm sleepless and I might forget
The words to this encore
We've been from Baton Rouge to Boston
Chi-town down to Austin
Made friends with saints and convicts
They both'll keep you honest
They say it's three chords and the truth
And I'm the living proof
Don't ever trust the writing on the wall
We've had bad nights, dying under stage lights
No one left to blame fights
We could have called it quits
We've had girlfriends breaking up the band times
Spending all our last dimes
On the misses and the hits
But we're still killing it
Oh, yeah, we're still killing it
Oh, yeah, we're still killing it
Staring at this guest list
Some names I've seen before
I guess I'm getting jaded
I ain't impressed no more
We've been from London down to Rome
From Sydney back to home
But anytime I'm there too long
I'm jonesing for the road
They say it's only rock 'n roll
But man it shakes my soul
So you can keep your writing on the wall
We've had bad nights, dying under stage lights
No one left to blame fights
We could have called it quits
We've had girlfriends breaking up the band times
Spending all our last dimes
On the misses and the hits
But we're still killing it
Oh, yeah, we're still killing it
Oh, yeah, we're still killing it
30 years from now I hope I'll be
On a stage with my guitar when my heart
Finally drops the beat, yeah
We've had bad nights, dying under stage lights
No one left to blame fights
We could have called it quits
We would've been fine
We've had girlfriends breaking up the band times
Spending all our last dimes
On the misses and the hits
But we're still killing it
But we're still killing it
But we're still killing it
Oh, yeah, we're still killing it
Oh, yeah, we're still killing it
Crazy Lucky lyrics - Better Than Ezra
There are six and three quarter billion people in this world
And 51 percent of them are girls
You roll your eyes like I'm full of it,
But I Googled that shit
And if the world is four times bigger than the moon
Then tell me, how on Earth did I find you
With just two grains of sand blowing on the beach
Damn that's deep.
It's like faith, God, or The Big Bang
It's just one of them things that you can't explain
And I don't need to know why
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky,
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky.
And I'm just one in a billion guys
But the way, the way you love
Has got me feeling crazy crazy lucky
Feeling like oh oh oh
Like we're crazy lucky
There are so many reasons that we shouldn't have met
I could've turned right when you turned left
But the world's got a funny way of stacking the deck
Don't forget
Too much heartache, too many nights
So many coulda, woulda, shoulda but you never tried
I can't figure out if we were meant to be
Or just crazy lucky
It's like faith, God, or The Big Bang
It's just one of them things that you can't explain
And I don't need to know why
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky,
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky.
And I'm just one in a billion guys
But the way, the way you love
Has got me feeling crazy crazy lucky
Oh, whoo whoo, hey, whoo ooo hey, crazy crazy
It's like faith, God, or The Big Bang
It's just one of them things that you can't explain
And I don't need to know why
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky,
Maybe we're crazy crazy lucky.
And I'm just one in a billion guys
But the way, the way you love me
Has got me feeling crazy crazy lucky
But the way, the way you love me
Has got me feeling crazy crazy lucky
Feeling like oh oh oh
Like we're crazy lucky
Crazy lucky
Gonna Get Better lyrics - Better Than Ezra
It's 4 am you drunk again
Blowin' up my phone
You say I know it's late
But this can't wait
I don't trust myself alone
You getting loaded ever night
It's getting harder to watch you die
It's 4 am and as your best friend
I refuse to let you go
You know it's gonna get better
You know there's gotta be stars behind those clouds
Yea it's gonna get better
Even though it's hard to see it now
I'm on your side
Promise me you'll try
To make it through the night
It's gonna get...it's gonna get better
It's gonna get...it's gonna get... better
We've had each others back
For the last 20 something years
But right now I don't recognize
The stranger standing here
Where is the light in your eyes
Where did the person go that I idolized
It's 4 am, it's your best friend
Come on, let me in
You know it's gonna get better
You know there's gotta be stars behind those clouds
Yea it's gonna get better
Even though it's hard to see it now
I'm on your side
Promise me you'll try
To make it through the night
It's gonna get...it's gonna get better
It's gonna get...it's gonna get... better
Look at the sky
It's getting light
You never have to apologize
If you wanna stay
That's okay
As long as it takes to be alright
Better...
You know it's gonna get better
You know it's gotta get better, better
Even though it's hard to see it now
You know it's gonna get better
You know there's gotta be stars behind those clouds
Yea it's gonna get better
Even though it's hard to see it now
I'm on your side
Promise me you'll try
To make it through the night
It's gonna get...it's gonna get better
It's gonna get...it's gonna get... better
Undeniable lyrics - Better Than Ezra
I'll put my head inside an oven
If I need some air
But you can save me that frustration
By just comin' over here
Cause you're more than just a little
Hypnotic and morose
I'm in a compromise position
And the doctor at my throat
What I want, what I need
Are two different things
And I want, what I see
So give it to me
It's undeniable
Straight up unstoppable
The way you do it it it it
The way you move it it it it
It's undeniable
Better than natural
The way you move it it it it
The way you do it
When you're doin' it to me
There's a thrill in isolation
In the center of my chest
You're a blue bird of obsession
You're a cardiac arrest
Pick a number and a number
Put your back against the wall
It's a power sensation
When you're feeling vulnerable
Simmer down
Take a breath
And wait for the rest
It's undeniable
Straight up unstoppable
The way you do it it it it
The way you move it it it it
It's undeniable
Better than natural
The way you move it it it it
The way you do it
When you're doin' it to me
Low down, what I see
Got more body than a money got green
Low down, what I see
Got more body than a money got green
Low down, what I see
It's undeniable
Straight up unstoppable
The way you do it it it it
The way you move it it it it
It's undeniable
Better than natural
The way you move it it it it
The way you do it
When you're doin' it to me
Insane lyrics - Better Than Ezra
(Oh...)
Hey...
Back and forth, around and around in your head
Your big day coming but you're hiding in bed
No, daddy's girl's crying in an elegant wedding dress
Cause she's starting to show but the baby ain't his
If that don't sound insane
Here's another lie to fill up your heart
If that don't wreck your brain
Wait a minute, there's another love coming
(Oh...)
Hey...
Now, she loves him but he never loved her
Can't nobody say why they stay together (always something)
The vows they swore were easily crossed
And time goes by but the meaning gets lost
If that don't sound insane
Here's another lie to fill up your heart
If that don't wreck your brain
Wait a minute, there's another love coming
(Oh...)
Hey...
Red rover, red rover, let your lover come over
(Ain't honesty in short supply?)
Red rover, red rover, let the right one come over
(Don't it make you wanna cry?)
[Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again
and hoping for a different outcome.]
If that don't sound insane
Here's another lie to fill up your heart
If that don't wreck your brain
Wait a minute, there's another love
If that don't sound insane
Here's another lie to fill up your heart
If that don't wreck your brain
Wait a minute, there's another love coming
(Oh...)
Hey...
Sunflowers lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Alligator bitch slap so correct
Mississippi love bites on my neck
I woke up in L.A., bouncing rubber checks
I need you to correct my navigation
Brushing your teeth with a cigarette
Devil horns growing from your silhouette
I know I should run but I can't quit
I need you to squeeze me
Is it something, honey, that I said?
You put the sunflowers in my bed at night
You put the lemonade in my head
You make me ooo, baby, ooo when you squeeze me tight
There ain't nobody else I want to be with
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Bouncing baby dynamite on your knee
She got me in a corner but I don't bleed
You always got another trick up your sleeve
Darling, you got a sick imagination
Fixing me breakfast in your underwear
Shaking that mon petite derrière
No, no, no, don't give a damn if the neighbors stare
I know you gonna thrill me
Is it something, honey, that I said?
You put the sunflowers in my bed at night
You put the lemonade in my head
You make me ooo, baby, ooo when you squeeze me tight
There ain't nobody else I want to be with
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
(Ooo, you put the sunflowers
Ooo, lemonade in my head
Ooo, you put the sunflowers
Ooo, lemonade in my head
You put the sunflowers in my bed at night
You put the lemonade in my head
You make me ooo, baby, ooo when you squeeze me tight
There ain't nobody else I want to be with
Oh oh, oh oh, oh)
You put the sunflowers in my bed at night
You put the lemonade in my head
You make me ooo, baby, ooo when you squeeze me tight
There ain't nobody else I want to be with
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
The Great Unknown lyrics - Better Than Ezra
Hannah left for Burning Man
With a bag full of contraband
She said, "The stars look better in the desert
When you're rolling with a friend
Ain't got shit to do in Baton Rouge
So, what have I got to lose?"
Hannah left for Burning Man
With a bag full of contraband
Singing ay oh, whoa...
Singing ay oh, whoa...
(I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there)
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
Hand hanging out the window
And Petty playing on the radio
Singing, "Oh, my, my, oh, hell yes."
Only a thousand miles to go
I bet back at home they're waking up
Wondering where the hell I've run
Hand hanging out the window
And Petty playing on the radio
Singing ay oh, whoa...
I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
Into the great unknown
(Oh...)
Hannah left for Burning Man
With a bag full of contraband
She took a long trip on a moonless night
And she never came home again
I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
I'm gonna get a little out there when I get there
Find myself in that desert air
Sink like a feather, float like a stone
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
(Ay oh, whoa...)
Into the great unknown
