FIND YOUR FATE It's never too late to find your fate Life is good but love is great You never will discover either one Unless you leave Before your days are done It's never too late to leave your town It's hard to leave when settled down But one day you may find that you must go That somewhere soon You have to fight your foe You have to find the love of your true life You have to find your fate before you die Fa la la la la, la la la la It's never too late to cross the country It's never too late to see the unseen It's never too late to find your only one It's never too late Unless your days are done It's never too late to find your fate It's never too late to find your fate Rediscover 50 states But you can only walk to 49 Unless you walk on water You can't walk to Hawaii [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

Bike Ride 02:19
BIKE RIDE It's just like riding a bicycle The time I got hit by a car The way that I feel It's just like riding a bicycle It's just like riding a bicycle The time I got hit by a car I'll never forget It's just like riding a bicycle The time I got hit by a car Bicycle riding in the street I felt so bad I was broken from head to feet Tonight I got home to the note You left me Don't know where you are I feel like I did The time I got hit by a car It's just like riding a bicycle The time I got hit by a car The way that I feel It's just like riding a bicycle It's just like riding a bicycle The time I got hit by a car I'll never forget It's just like riding a bicycle The way that I feel I haven't felt so bad for so long My left is broken down My right is wrong The way I appear Less bloody than bleeding in the street But this time I feel despair and defeat And fear is always near It's just like riding a bicycle The time I got hit by a car The way that I feel It's just like riding a bicycle It's just like riding a bicycle The time I got hit by a car I'll never forget It's just like riding a bicycle I'll never forget It's just like riding a bicycle It's just like riding a bicycle It's just like riding a bike [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

CIRCLE IT YET Electrical current spells electricity Spread yourself throughout the circuit To people it seems instant But to you it seems to be eternity Electrical current spells electricity Electricity spells it eternity Think it's gonna last forever? Think again Circle round I love you power Keep you safe from fire and water Think it's gonna last forever? Think again The circle always fills up with you In the end You just wait and see You're gonna circle it yet Electricity You're gonna circle it yet (circle round) (I love you power) (keep you safe from fire and water) [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

Get Lost 01:46
GET LOST I get lost in trouble Way out I try to find I get off when I feel like getting on Gonna burst the bubble And set this house on fire I don't care Burn the chair I'm sitting on [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

STAY AWAY FROM YOUR HEAD Stay away from your head 'Cause it's poisonous Keep me out of your mind 'Cause it's dangerous Let me out of your sight 'Cause I don't like the way that I feel When I'm staring in your eyes I feel undone inside No matter where I hide You always know to seek My will is weak Stay away from your head 'Cause it's poisonous And I'm worried about The infectiousness Stay away with your kiss 'Cause it might be contagious And catching And spreading inside me When we play seek and hide My will is weak inside I can't find the strength to fight Please stay away tonight You're darker than The purest evil in the land I've felt your sting Your mind is a terrible thing Stay away from your head 'Cause it's poisonous Stay away from my head With your head you bitch Stay away from my mind with your mind And my heart from the hole in your heart Where your soul died You're darker than The purest evil in the land I've felt your sting Your mind is a terrible thing [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

Secret Place 04:52
SECRET PLACE Thought I'd never Find your secret place again But now I have Thought I'd never See your pretty face again But now I have And you're just like I remember Only prettier and harder to find Thought I'd never Find a way to make you feel The way I do Thought you'd never feel the same And still I think I wish I knew But I never know the truth Until it slaps my face and boggles my mind A long and narrow alley In the city In the darkness There's a doorway And it leads into a place You keep a secret But I found the key Was it left for me? This we've been through Feels like déjà vu Thought I'd never Find your secret place again It always moves Now I think I'll find it every time That's what this key you left me proves Yes I know I'll always find your secret place again It's easy to find A long and narrow alley In the city Always different Every time you leave a key Where I will find it With the vaguest of directions In a code You know I know We made it up together Now I know You'll always be so close to me Your secret place is always down A long and narrow alley [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

CIA 05:10
CIA I want to take you to The place that you adore I want to take you to Atlanta I want to see your city From the plane before we land To see the bird's-eye view of Atlanta I want to see your city But only if you're sitting with me As we look out at Atlanta from the plane I want to take you for a drive On Christmas Eve I'll take us wherever you want us to be And when you feel it's time To leave the place you've led us to I'll take you to your home with me I want to see Atlanta I want to be your man What do you say? I'll be your Secret Santa every day I want to take you to The place that you adore I want to give you all my love And so much more I want to take you to The place I've never been before The place that you adore You love Atlanta The night before we fall asleep We must be sure To write our Christmas lists to Santa And if we wake up With our stockings filled with coal It's fine with me We'll still have Christmas in Atlanta I want to take you to The place that you adore I want to give you all my love And so much more I want to take you to The place I've never been before The place that you adore The place that you adore The place that you adore I want to see Atlanta I want to be your man What do you say? I'll be your Secret Santa every day I'll be your Secret Santa every day I'll be your Secret Santa every day It's no secret You love Atlanta [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

GENERAL SLOCUM Cracked your window years ago A sudden stop I hit my head That's when I cracked your window Your fake cousin's my best friend On Halloween A blizzard stray (no way) The next day was a snow day Spent the day with General Slocum On a mighty ship Don't lose your grip Of the mighty steering wheel Without you, don't know what to feel It can't be real Dreamed it's not your funeral But someone close You showed up too Another chance to see you Hear me shouting out your name It makes no sense I can't believe it Things will never ever be the same Something tells me General Slocum's burning Burning bright in the dead of night Through the skylight shining through Without you don't know what to do It can't be true Not you General Slocum Polish Wedding Mascot A.P. Gym Alum Heard you freed the frayed balloons You severed strings to float away They're still floating to this day Space technicians bow your heads On spaceship Earth Your General speaks But your General is dead Thinking of the reign of General Slocum It will still go on 'Til your friends are gone Like you went We will join as one But you won't- You won't join us now that Your days are done You've wandered from The world we live in Now your time has come Slocum General Slocum Polish Wedding Mascot A.P. Gym Alum (things will never ever be the same) (hear me shouting out your name) (General Slocum) [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

Not No More 02:25
NOT NO MORE He's up to feed the dog He's sleeping like a log Sleepwalking through Holly's kitchen It hasn't happened since the boy was 8 You thought it went away And then you heard him say The dog's not hungry, not no more Not no more Not no more, not no more This place is not your house You shouldn't scream and shout You shouldn't wake him sleeping Especially when he's walking He could go mad You're going mad right now He's taking dishes out He's feeding the dog you left at home It's not alone Not no more, not no more The dog's not hungry, not no more Get out the door Go back to Maine The dog's got rabies on the brain The dog's got murder on the mind Its hate is blind On second thought just stay away There's nothing left for you in Maine What's done is done Whatever will be will be You'll see 'Cause you won the lottery -based on the book CUJO by Stephen King [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

MADNESS IN THE METHOD Madness in the method Go mad, go meet, go make Take what you can keep and Keep track of what you take All that I know is I'm in love with everything about her It doesn't make much sense to me either Madness was our meeting We met, we made, we slept Darkness is our weakness 'Twas in the dark we met All that I know is I'm in love with her All that I know is I'm in love with her All that I know is I'm in love with everything about her It doesn't make much sense to me either But nothing makes much sense When I am beneath her All that I know is I'm in love with everything about her Madness in the method Somehow it works for us Why not try to lose your mind? Methodical madness All that I know is I'm in love with everything about her All that I know is I'm in love with everything about her All that I know is I'm in love with everything about her It doesn't make much sense to me either [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

THINGS FALL APART I wrote my epitaph in finger and sand I signed sincerely With the palm of my hand I fell asleep For what I thought would be forever time Awoke delirious dehydrated dead Or so I thought Until I though with my head I'm still alive There's still a mountain that I have to climb Goodbye everyone remember Sometimes things seem fine But every time you think you're safe The center doesn't hold Things fall apart Things fall apart Things fall apart The center cannot hold Things fall apart I lay awake another day in the sun The sole companion of an unloaded gun I see a demon in the distance It's my destiny If I'm to die I'll die in search of my fate The world is moving on It's madness to wait for Death to come Already met but He has yet to take me Goodbye everyone remember Sometimes things seem fine But every time you think you're safe The center doesn't hold Things fall apart Things fall apart Things fall apart The center cannot hold Things fall apart Say your prayers tonight Before you fall asleep Pray with all your might The Lord your soul to keep Don't discourage Just because things fall apart (things fall apart) Don't be worried Don't break pieces of your heart (things fall) Things fall apart Things fall apart The center cannot hold Things fall apart Things fall apart Things fall (things fall apart) Things fall apart The center cannot hold (things fall) [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

Trashcan Man 06:07
TRASHCAN MAN What did old lady Semple say When you torched her pension check? You burned the church You should have burned the school Carley Yates he hated you But you survived the plague And Randall Flagg Don't treat you like a fool Trashcan Man The Trashcan Man The world's a tire you set on fire One layer at a time Scarred by scalding Cheery Oil When you burned the Cheery plant You couldn't find a shelter from the blast Searching something bigger 'Cause you swore your life for him And three pillars of fire just won't last Trashcan Man The Trashcan Man You found your fate when Carley Yates And most of humankind Were horrified to find There was no cure No cure for Superflu The sheriff shot your father 'Cause your father shot your sister And your brothers not your mother no She married the man that shot your father What did old lady Semple say When you torched her pension check? You burned the Earth From the East to the West The people in Las Vegas Treat you just as mean as home But give your gift to Randall He's your best friend until the end Trashcan Man The Trashcan Man The West expired You set on fire the West on accident If you can't stand the heat Stay out of the world (Trashy can't, the Trashcan Man) -based on the book THE STAND by Stephen King [words & music by Sean Schuyler]

Flight 19 03:44
FLIGHT 19 "Both my compasses are out. I'm over land, but it's broken. I'm sure I'm in the Keys, but I don't know how far down and I don't know how to get to Fort Lauderdale. All planes close up tight. We will have to ditch unless landfall. When the first man gets down to 10 gallons, we will all land in the water together. Even the ocean doesn't look as it should. Don't come after me. It looks like-" - Lt. Charles Carroll Taylor December 5, 1945 [music by Sean Schuyler]
