infinite loop
i'm in an infinite loop
i'm in an infinite loop
i'm in an infinite
i'm in an infinite
i'm in an infinite loop...
this all happened once before
this all happened once before
and i ain't learned nothin'
but I love you more than words can say
i love you much more than words can say
and that's gotta count for somethin'
it's gotta count for somethin'
but i'm in an infinite loop...
i love just 'bout everything about you
even the things that i don't understand
and i ain't got any cause to doubt you
no i don't doubt you
but i'm in an infinite loop...
this all happened some other day
who the hell are you anyway
but i'm in an infinite loop...
let's break the cycle
let's break the cycle...
let's break the cycle...
let's break the cycle...
blue dress
she was wearing a blue dress
and that's what i remember best
she was wearing a blue dress
and that's what i remember best
practical in design
functional and yet sublime
at times when i remember best
i think of her and her blue dress
she was wearing a blue dress
and that's what I remember best...
sometimes
i don't understand these scenes
that play in my mind
and though i won't feel the warmth of her caress
i'll think of her and her blue dress
she was wearing a blue dress
and that's what i remember best...
it always seemed a bit unfair
the way that she'd let down her hair
but thoughts like this are put to rest
when i think of her and her blue dress
she was wearing a blue dress
and that's what i remember best...
you know i still recall the time
when i looked deep into her eyes
but i remember more what happened next
when i saw her in a blue dress
sometimes it seems
like she was made just for me
but there are times when i remember best
when i think of her and her blue dress
she was wearing a blue dress
and that's what i remember best...
simple practical
effortlessly magical
at times when i remember best
i think of her and her blue dress
there are times
when thinking of her
leaves a pain in my chest
but there are times when i remember best
and i'll think of her and her blue dress...
folk music
what's the folk music gonna sound like?
what 's the folk music gonna sound like?
maybe some politicians have put a tax on the oxygen
or someone's just been sentenced there for bootlegging railroad gin
what's the folk music gonna sound like?
what's the folk music gonna sound like?
on some distant planet do you think the people there have had it?
on some distant planet do you think the people there have had it?
what's the folk music gonna sound like?
what's the folk music gonna sound like?
maybe someone's true love died when he was out in the asteroid mines
maybe someone's true love died when he was out in the asteroid mines...
what's the folk music gonna sound like?
what's the folk music gonna sound like?
romantic composer
i am a romantic composer
in a dream of how it feels to be
in the nineteenth century
i am a romantic composer
i am a romantic composer
and it's getting hard to keep my composure
i am a romantic composer
now i'm standing in the concert hall
waiting for my curtain call
and it's getting hard to keep my composure
i am a romantic composer
and i know i should feel a sense of elation
but i don't hear the standing ovation
and it's getting hard to keep my composure
i am a romantic composer
and there's a woman i could love i guess
but i hear she is a baroness
and it's getting hard to keep my composure
i am a romantic composer
and i guess you could say
i know how it might feel to be
alive in the early nineteenth century
and it's getting hard to keep my composure
i am a romantic composer...
one of four players
i'm just one of four players
in a band that's lost its man
i'm just one of four players
in a band that's lost its man
where did he go?
time and time i've asked this question
and sometimes i think i know
but it's much too painful to mention
i'm just one of four players
in a band that's lost its vision
i'm just one of four players
in a band that's lost its precision
where did it go?
time and time i've asked this question
and sometimes i think i know
but it's much too painful to mention
i'm just one of four players
in a band that's lost its persistence
i'm just one of four players
in a band that's lost its insistence
where did it go?
time and time i've asked this question
and sometimes i think i know...
i'm just one of four players
in a band that's lost its man...
where did it go?
it's so hard to understand...

to adelaide
i'm livin' my life for adelaide...
the rest of my life for adelaide

people can change
people can't change right away
but people can change
if people can change
people can't change right away
but people can change
if people can change
they're saying things that you just can't say
cause people can't change, people can't change
they've got you thinkin' there's no other way
cause people can't change, people can't change
people can't change right away
but people can change if people can change...
i know you'll really want to prove me wrong
cause people can't change, people can't change
i know you'll curse me
cause i wrote this song
cause people can't change, people can't change
people can't change right away
but people can change if people can change...
there's a darkness and it's here to stay
cause people can't change, people can't change
you say you've always kind of felt this way
yeah people can't change, people can't change
people can't change right away
but people can change if people can change...
sometimes i miss the people that i used to know
sometimes i miss the people that i used to know
people can't change right away
but people can change if people can change...
