"EVERYONE CAN FLY"
(Gibbs/Hurley)

Turn off your mind
And go back with me to a better time
Do you see the same moon I do
When I'm thinking of you

Well that's ok
We can try again another day
Do you feel the same breeze I feel
Lifting you up
Lifting me up
Lifting us up

'Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try

Turn off the lights
And don't be afraid of another night
Do the promises you couldn't keep
Make it hard for you to sleep

Well that's ok
Everybody makes the same mistakes
As the stars shine the night away
Let them lift you up
Let them lift you up
Let them lift you up

'Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try

Did you ever stop and think when you were twenty ?
You'd be where you are today
Isn't it funny how things change
Some things never stay the same
What a shame...

Forget the grade
I can see you turning a greener shade
Do you feel the same faith I feel
Let it lift you up
Let it lift you up
Let it lift you up

'Cause everyone can fly
Everyone can fly
You just have to try
Everyone can fly

"THE SHIFT TO SUPEROVERDRIVE"
(Gibbs/Hurley)

Track info: I always liked this one because it rocked, but we rarely played it live. I knew when I wrote it that we already had "Super Ultra" and there didn't seem to be room for two "super" numbers. i just couldn't help myself. -Steve Hurley-

"TO WHOEVER"
(Gibbs/Hurley)

Track info: Someone kept calling my house and hanging up, so I got out my frustrations by writing this. This one was a big live number for a long time. The end really rocks. Adams Duritz really wanted us to include this song on "Minor Chords", but we weren't sure that it fit the vibe. Who knows, he may well have been right? -Steve Hurley-

"SULK WITH ME"
(Gibbs/Hurley)

Track info: This is the first song Fred ever played with us. We recorded it several different times, but this version has the best energy. A different version (featuring Jon's "Middle Earth" guitar solo) was actually slated to be on "Minor Chords" until Dave came up with "The Big Lie" and knocked this one back down to Triple A Pawtucket. -Steve Hurley-

"THE BIG LIE"
(Bassett/Gibbs/Hurley)

I could charm the skin right off a snake
Twist the truth around and watch it break
But I still can't get through to you

I could talk a Zebra from its stripes
Convince today to turn into tonight
Still there's something I just can't do

And you see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Is something I could never be

I could talk the clouds down from the sky
I could stop the breeze as it blows by
But you know this act is nothing new

I could be the dream you had last night
And whisper every word exactly right
But you know dreams don't always come true

And you see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Is something I could never be

I could steal your heart but not this time
You deserve much more than worn out lines
But that's all that I've got to give

You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
You see
Everything you think I might be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anything that you could need
Anyone that you could need is something I could never be
Everything that you could want
Everything you've never had
Anyone that you could need is something I could never be

"HALF A CHANCE"
(Gibbs/Hurley)

Half a chance
Of getting halfway back
Maybe half the heart
Always I put in

Twice as much
Spilling twice the time
Maybe twice the guts
Where do I begin ?
Getting something done
Letting in the

Sunday rings
Monday brings
Half a chance again

Half the night
I'm lying half awake
Dreaming half a dream
It's always my mistake

A quarter mile
Beneath my beating chest
The lies a quarter rest
I can't seem to fake
Getting something done
Letting in the

Sunday rings
Monday brings
Half a chance again

You know
Blue sky, hopes and horoscopes
Agree in the end
That timing is
Your real friend
Your only friend

Half a chance
Of getting halfway back
To cracking half a smile
Once in awhile
Once in awhile...
Gimme half a chance
Of getting halfway back
To cracking half a smile
Once in awhile
