Lyrics offa Semisonics new one, Feeling Strangly Fine, featuring the number one hit, Closing Time(i sound like some sort of buisness dude, huh? Shuddup)! Great great great awesome good CD, buy this!

closing time

Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world

Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl

Closing time
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer

Closing time
you dont have to go home but you cant stay here

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from

Closing time
This room wont be open till your brothers or your sisters come

So gather up your jackets
Move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend

Closing time
Every new begining comes from some other beginings end

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home

singing in my sleep

Got your tape and it changed my mind
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time
Where nobody ever goes

All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now Im falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose

And all the stars
Play for me
Say the promise you long to keep

I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep

Ive been living in your cassette
Its the modern equivalent
Singin up to a capulet
On a balcony in your mind

In the city the lion sleeps
Pray to Sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet
Did you ever look so nice

And all the sounds
Dream for me
Dive me down in the soul so deep

I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep

made to last

Made to last a while
And roll on
Made to move in style
And move along

Made to dream of flying
So high
Made to wake up crying
I dont know why

Beautiful one
Asleep in the sun
Secret sweet and sublime
I hope you last a long long time

Made to come along
And pair up
Flash like a rolling stone
Seventy-one

One time love affair
With the earth
Waiting on the air
For some rebirth
(for what its worth)

Wherever you are
Nearby or far
Black white lemon or lime
I hope you last a long long time

never you mind

Saturday morning alone and barely feeling
Sitting at home after rocking and areeling
All night in a cat fight
With the only one who can make me cry

Open the blinds and the world is in rotation
Shaking my mind like an Etch-a-Sketch erasing
Sunshine you were bad
Im still mad but i cant remember why

I believe you know me well
I react like youre ringing a bell
Are you sory that you treat me unkind
Never you mind

Rolling along to this song that aggravates us
Beckoned on by the mirage of an oasis
Hurry, Im getting blurry
And its no longer clear in my mind

I believe you know me well
I react like youre ringing a bell
Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
Never you mind

I believe Ive got you down
You react like any body else around
Are you sorry that you treat me unkind
Never you mind

Sometimes it takes all my time guessing why
I cant figure it out
Sometimes it takes all my energey just to forget about
All the memories that I'd be better off without
I believe you know me well

Switch on the box Mr. Spock is on the table
Dr. McCoy is unable to connect his brain
Sweatin and strainin
Well it seemed so simple at the time

secret smlie

Nobody knows it but youve got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but youve got a secret smile
And you use it only for me

So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling madness
Im losing Im bluesing
But you can save me from madness

Nobody knows it but youve got a secret smlie
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but youve got a secret smile
And you use it only for me

So save me Im waiting
Im needing hear me pleading
And soothe me improve me
Im grieving Im barely believing now, now

When you are flying around and around the world
And Im lying alonely
I know theres something sacred and free reserved
And recieved by me only

dnd

DND
Now theyll leave us alone
DND
Now you turn off the phone

How like yuo to make the whole world disappear and
How like you to make everything seem so clear and
How like you to make me want to stay forever
Here behind your door

DND
HAng the sign on the door
DND
Dont disturb us no more

How like you to make your love my hideaway and
How like you to make make my troubles slide away and
How like you to make me want to play forever
Here behind your door
Minute I got some space and time I wanted to get me back
In the crowd
Minute I got some peace you found me trying to make my
Way to the loud
What a clown...

DND
Leave the hotel at noon
DND
Will I see you soon
How like you to make the who world disappear and
How like you to make everything seem so clear and
How like you to make me want to stay forever
Here behind your door

DND
DND
DND
Now theyll leave us alone

I want to give you something priceless and free

this will be my year

Thursdays crush is a friday night rush
And a monday morning cry
Its the tail that you keep chasing
And it gets away every time

New Years Eve and its hard to believe
Another Zodiacs gone around
While you drank yourself high on hoping
And watched the cieling spin from the ground

Counting down from ten its time
To make your anual prayer
Secret Santa in the sky
When will I get my share

So you tell yourself
What yuo want to hear
Cause you hava to believe
This will be my year

Pound your first and cross it off your list
But you know youre not that strong
When the man at the stoplight catches you
Singing along to a brand new song

Well maybe it's
Trash or an over nightsmash that brings your
Ship crashing through the wall
So you can make your grand departure
From a world getting way too small

One wheel in a ditch another
Spinning in the air

Put your pedal down to the floor board but youre not Getting anywhere

Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year

all worked out

Shes got it all worked out in her mind
And youre part of the plan
And you dont have the final word

Shes got a long head start on your brain
And your heart is afraid
And you dont get to say youre thinking

Come on make it easy now
Come on make it easy on us all
Come on make it easy now or tears may fall

Shes got it all worked out
And your time is arranged
And its strang but youre feeling fine

california

Driven through the canyons I was
Dazzled by the mountains and we didnt go very far
Close enough to heaven if you
Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star

I tried to get inside I bought a
Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head
I went out for a ride to go
Across a great divide but I ended up at home instead

California
I thought I should see
Now Im back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me

I was just a passenger a
Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night
A visitor a stranger thought I
Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights

Tore my heart out from my chest
Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul

Chose the ones I loved the most
Drove em all down to the coast
Threw em in a big black hole

California
I thought I should see
Now Im back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me
California
I dreamed I would find
Some kinda sorta pick-me-up
Twelve little pieces of my mind
California
I thought I should see
Now Im back home, yeah
With twelve little pieces of me
California
I dreamed I would find
Some kinda sorta pick-me-up
Twelve little pieces of my mind

she spreads her wings

At night she spreads her wings
She dreams of bigger things
She floats aboe the town
She sings without a sound

She can be anywhere at all
She can be anyone at all

A glow and then a shine
What she thought she would find
Tonight tonight

Shes got a picture in her mind
She can be anyone at all

At night she spreads her wings
She left the world behind

gone to the movies(another vastly underplayed semisonic song)

Now the rain comes down the windows and it
Drops onto the forehead of the waiting boy
He surveys his rental kingdom and he
Wonders if hes really lost his one joy

Another fool would go down to the
Only place she ever went to lose herself
Shes gone to the movies now and she dont need your help

Now the rain turns into snowfall as the
City sky reflects the silver streets below
And it covers up the cars and the Wall-
Flowers cd ended half an hour ago

Another fool would dig the broken car out from the snow
And drive to find the show
Shes gone to the movies now and shes not coming home

Now he looks around his place and anyways
Theres no where she oculd sit besides the bed
And he wonders if the car will start tommorow
Or hell have to take the bus instead

Any other fool would be out on the roadway
Trying to spot her rusted Pontiac Shes gone to the movies now and shes not coming back
Shes gone to the movies now and shes not coming back
