Lyrics
"More than I need"
-James C. Clemetson
Yes, I confess, it's a flaw
I'm always tempted by greed
I've got less than I want
but I've got more than I need
Chorus:
Let's not go running into the night
Let's not go stand out in the rain
It will get better when it gets light
I do believe that we will change
I'll come to rest where I fall
I'll find the words for the deeds
It's for the best after all
I've got more than I need
Chorus:
Bridge:
Let's turn the lights out
Don't think the night is like the day
I've come to like doubt
And it's all right when it's not ok
Break:
I've got more than I need
More than I need
More than I need, yea
I've got less than I want
but I've got more than I need
I've got more than I need
but I'm not giving anything away today
Oooh la la
I've got more than I need
Maybe tomorrow I'll give it away
but I'm keeping what's mine today

"Moonless night"
-James C. Clemetson
Night has fallen
silently from the sky
shadows of streetlights
play tricks with my eyes
Chorus:
Moonless night
I'm singing out of tune
but I can't wait
I can't wait for the moon
No sense calling
lunacy, please come by
damn your chocolate
flowery, diamond lies
Chorus:
Moonless night
am I too late, so soon
hey I can't wait
I can't wait for the moon
Bridge:
You might think that
I've got nothing better to do
than to stand here in the rain
waiting for you
Break:
Moonless night
I'm wrapped in your cocoon
but I can't wait
I can't wait for the moon

"Maybe Next Time"
-James C. Clemetson
I wonder what I'm doin'
how in the world did I wind up here
I find myself on the road to ruin
and my mind ain't exactly clear
Maybe next time I will do better
Maybe next time
I will follow all the rules
right down to the letter
Maybe next time
The devil's right behind me
he's wearin' my old runnin' shoes
He's tellin' me it was hard to find me
I can't believe he thinks that's news
Maybe next time I will do better
Maybe next time
I will follow all the rules
right down to the letter
Maybe next time
Give me some kind of omen
Let me see the sun from the night-time side
I'll stay away from these awful women
or at least, you can say I tried
Maybe next time I will do better
Maybe next time
I will follow all the rules
right down to the letter
Maybe next time
Maybe next time
Break:
It doesn't seem to matter
if I am awake I am counting sheep
Can't tell the former from the latter
and I can make mistakes in my sleep
Maybe next time
I will do better
I will follow all the rules
right down to the letter
Maybe next time
Maybe next time
Maybe next time
Maybe next time
