POPtical Illusion

  1. God Made Me Do It (don't ask me again)
  2. Davies and Wales
  3. Calling You Out
  4. Edge of Reason
  5. I'm Angry
  6. How We See The Light
  7. Company Commander
  8. Setting Fires
  9. Shark-Shark
  10. Funkball the Brewster
  11. All To The Good
  12. Laughing In My Sleep
  13. There Will Be No River

How We See The Light

It's a lot like magic
It's a lot like friendship
It's the best of everything
Everything I've found

Sometimes you learn a thing or two
You learn a lesson
Then in the quiet ways of love
You wasted time

You tried to track me down
And now you finally found
The way we heard you
Call me out again

In between the way we see the light
Then we lose our minds and jump a fence
In between the way we see the light
Then we lose our minds and jump a fence

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Here goes a better idea
In the way we saw our lives
Were they more decisive now
Than in the future time

Can I close another chapter
In the way we run our lives
More decisive in the future
Or deliberate in the end

In between the way we see the light
Then we lose control and jump a fence

In between the way we see the light
Then we lose control and jump a fence

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Shark-Shark

You said that before...

Pedro eats his breakfast on the roof
Talks about it all the time
Cesar sharpens knives in the back of the van
Black black, sing it again

Shark shark, take me down

Shark shark, take me down
(Lucy got a gig)
Shark shark, take me down
Shark shark, take me down
(Lucy likes to sing)

Talk talk, in the back of the room
Hard work, at the end of the day
Learn how to be a winner in the end
Faster than the speed of light

Shark shark, take me down
(It's the way you think)
Shark shark, take me down
(It's the way you dance)
Shark shark, take me down
(It's the way you see)
Shark shark, take me down
(It's the way you go)

(End up in jail, end up in jail)
(End up in jail, end up in jail)
(End up in jail...)

Shark shark, take me down
(Lucy got a gig)
Shark shark, take me down
(Lucy got a gig)
Shark shark, take me down
(That's the way to go)
Shark shark, take me down
(Lucy likes to sing)

(Shark, shark, shark...)

Shark shark, take me down
Shark shark, take me down
Shark shark, take me down
Lucy got a gig (Lucy got a gig)
Shark shark, take me down
(Got a gig, got a gig, got a, got a, got a gig)
Take me down, take me down
Take me down, take me down
