Sumner's coming around again
But it wont be much fun
'cause I'm working a steady job
Still on the run
And I remember back in school
Summer was sitting by the pool
We didn't have to follow rules in the summer
Don't know why I took this job
I work 8 hours a day
And when I look out my window
My mind slips away
I wish I could take a ride
Or just go out and hide
I just hate staying inside in the summer.
Summer's coming around
Still on the run
Summer's coming around
Still on the run
Summer's coming around
Still on the run

The Paper Train

The paper train goes rolling down the mountain side
On board the pirate sleeps
Out of tune with forgotten tides
On through darker canyons
Willows fall from mountain trails
Hallowed are the stories
Of paper trains and pirate tales
Sitting in a box car is a man who hides his eyes
For in there are reflections that open up forbidden lies
He ship sailed the waters
That fed his greedy thirst
By bringing ships of cargo
To minds that bled the worst
The paper train rolls on its beaten track and through abandoned towns
Old saloons and general stores have rotted on the ground
It is always now or never
Old ghost towns just don't belong
Pirates live forever
For with their death there lives a song
And the paper train blows its horn
The sun is rising with the morn
It rolls on past the lake
What it gave to forget to take
The paper train goes rolling down the mountain side
On board the pirate speaks
Out of tune with forgotten tides
On through darker canyons
Willows fall from mountain trails
Hallowed are the stories
Of paper trains and pirate tales
Paper trains and pirate tales
Paper trains and pirate tales

Outlaw Willy was a big man he stood 7 feet tall
No one in town messed with Mr. Brown much at all
He ruled the town as if it were his own
And had a heart much like a stone
He owned a shack outside the town
Everyone knows and no one goes near
Outlaw Willy Brown
Tennessee Tex was a traveling man a late pioneer
He traveled around helping folks in town live outside of Fear. Then one day
after saving a kid who had almost Drowned. He heard a shout that he better
watch out for
Outlaw Willy Brown.
Will's father was a mountain man who died when Will Was young.
People say
Will shot him while playing with His daddy's gun He grew up with his
mother who lived In constant fear. Then one day when Will was away she
Disappeared. They found her body it was lying in the Ground. In tracks they
say were made and laid by Outlaw Willy Brown.
Tennessee Tex grew up in the west with his mom and Dad. His parents were
killed he swore on their will
He'd wipe out all the bad. So he took up a trade as a Bounty hunter and
brought men in by the pound
But the pounds dropped fast when he went at last after
Outlaw Willy Brown.
Outlaw Willy sat down outside the saloon. Waited for Tennessee Tex to come
in around noon. He waited and He drank down the evening sun. He wanted to
shot Tex Down and throw away his gun. But what Will didn't Know was what
Tex had in store. 'cause Tennessee Tex Had come to town late the night
before. Tennessee Originally wanted Will Alive. But everyone knows that
Death follows the path in which it lies. And late that Night the full
moon's light gave Tennessee the edge he Took Will's gun and started to run
up the Hill Side Ledge. You could Hear the fight for miles in every way.
And no one knows For sure who won it to this day. Once while exploring I
found written on the ground the words
"I shot the man once known as Outlaw Willy Brown."

Shot At The World

Rainbows of shadows all tossing and turning
Minds disappear with the night
Waterfalls crashing and dew drops are burning
Crystallized lakes filled with light
The queen in her castle the king on his thrown
The fool touched the wizard who turned him to stone
And here I sit always alone in my mind
Chorus
I'd like to take a shot at the world
Just open my eyes and fly
Take a shot to remind myself
That this is where I'm alive
The boy ran away to be a clown
To ride in the circus on the their merry-go-round
So he followed the laughter from town to town
Just to get thrown in the well
The mountains they opened and started to shake
The waves crashed down on the tropical lake
The fool had been kissed by a princess for sake
They were blown away by the wind
Chorus
