Trying to find his way through the city
Crawling through an alley on the floor by a door
Needing help with a feeling that he's had before
Never calling anyone feeling unloved saying goodbye
Life is better when you're high, never mind when you're there
Cause they never play fair they never play fair

Maybe will, Maybe would
Turn the clock around
You think it's always better then you would
Take you away, out of here
Standing on the tracks, for someone to appear

Running with devil, Running with the devil
Running with devil, Running with the devil
Running with devil, Running with the devil instead
Running with devil, Running with the devil
Running with devil, Running with the devil
Running with devil, Running with the devil instead

Memories hurt even more when you burn
Like you're walking on a tightrope having no hope
Looking down for a face or smile
You find it there, you fell
Writing neat letters to yourself, maybe this one will help
Throw it all away and hurt yourself
When you've done see what it's all about
See the hurt in hell
Perhaps letting you down, feeling unfound
Like you're in a race and no wind inside
Everyday has a night, every night has another fight
Steal me, put me in your pocket, I'll be there
Take me out when you can't shout, can't find a reason why you're here
Send you to a place where the brave win the race

Maybe will, maybe won't
Turn the clock around now
You think it's always better but it won't
Take you away up, out of here
Standing on the tracks, for someone to appear

Running with the devil, running with the devil
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Running with the devil instead
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Running with the devil instead

You fly away, you find your way
You give it all away, give it all away
Give it all away no no no
Ba ba dum ba dumm…………………..


Maybe will, maybe won't
Turn the clock around now
You think it's always better but it wont
Take you away up out of here
Standing on the tracks, for someone to appear

Running with the devil, running with the devil
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Ruinning with the devil instead
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Ruinning with the devil instead
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Ruinning with the devil instead
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Running with the devil, running with the devil
Ruinning with the devil instead

It's okay, never really wanna stay where you staying
When you really wanna run, run, run away
Wouldn't you want a break
It's okay, when you really need to stay where you're staying
When you really run, run away

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
