Letters From Earth (alternative version)
It's a cold world
And I'm in the middle
Caught in the in-between
I don't belong here
So I'm writing to you
They never understand
So I'm sending you some
Letters from earth, yeah
It's a new world
And now I'm a stranger, stranger than you know
I don't belong here
And I'm writing to you
With blood on my hands
What if I send you madness
What if I send you pain
And letters from earth
Ooh
All right
I've seen through the masquerade
The secret faces, the lie behind the smile
They can make the water
Taste just like the wine
Come on, it's another game
And we gotta play on, they say it's just pretend
But did you ever ask them why
The game is called the end
I don't want your money, man
I just want a part of you
I can hear your voice again
It seems to belong in my brain
I don't want your pity, no
I just want the heart out of you
Do you think I said too much from now, hah?
Don't be afraid
What if I send confusion
What is the time and the pain worth
Oh no no, I'm only sending letters from the earth
Time Machine (Wayne's World version)
Oh what are you gonna do
When there's a part of you
That needs to chase the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
If you listen to fools and
Now it's like the chains are on
Today is never gone
Tomorrow never comes
Go on and jump, yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forget the pain
It's only there
To open up your mind
Looking at the world
Through your ears and eyes
You're seeing the promises now
They're only lies and broken dreams
Your silent screams
You're living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that you've never seen
Somewhere that you've never been
You're living in a time machine
Oh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to catch the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking at the world
Through your ears and eyes
You're seeing the promises now
They're only lies and broken dreams
I hear your silent screams
You're living in a time machine
And you can chose just where to go
Somewhere that you've never been
There's somewhere you don't know
You're living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that you've never seen
Someone you've never been
You're living in a time machine
