(I guess this goes here.) With the upcoming album I thought I might post the lyrics as they were last time I heard them live, so we can all see how they've changed (Deja Vu) and haven't changed so much (Losing My Mind). And lyrics are always nice to have when someone else works them out. 
ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
some highway at night
i'm not driving the car
i drift among the headlights
by my somewhere else now
i drive off the end of the earth
and every light on your street
comes back to me
in few a more days,
i won't let them get away
cause this is how i come and go
with ghosts for memories and memories for ghosts
but no one sees anything
i drive under the billboards
a sight to make my eyes sore
and wooden birds fly over
every bright blue corner
going nowhere
in few a more days
i'll be out of your way
cause this is how i come and go
with ghosts for memories and memories for ghosts
but no one sees anything
no one says anything (X2)
cause this is how i come and go
with ghosts for memories and memories for ghosts
but no one sees no one sees no one
where did everybody go
and would anybody tell me if theres something i should know
but no one sees anything
ANCHORMAN PART 2
through the narrow break
i imagine i see your face everywhere
your face like a diagram
count yourself lucky
then you leave as fast as you can
as fast as you can (X3)
did you hear the news?
your voice moves through me like velvet
and i can't stop listening, listening
shut up, before you undo everything
when the heroes are all tied to the tracks
i know you will save me
save me (X2)
did you hear the news? (X2)
did you hear the anchorman,
screaming from the other room
crying from the other room
now who will save me
save me (X2)
BEST WEAPON
from a walk to a run, by the time they're done
there's only rust
and the official language of fucked up and static and..
before he speaks, his machine all agree
lets wind them up and march them out
history repeating and read out loud
this could be our, best weapon now
hey don't look, don't look, don't look now
stripes and suits, pushing the numbers through
they treat them like they don't exist
and they count them up like they're matchsticks
and they don't recognise, until spoken in a headline
it's just more words, just more words
i can't wait to unlearn, i can't wait
this could be our, best weapon now
their nonsense is out
our only weapon now
our best weapon now
hey keep your head down
yeah don't look, don't look, don't look now
they're brining out, their best weapon now
best weapon now
CAUSE AND EFFECT (DEJA VU!)
light globes wash upon the beach
and they lock me up with certainty
space just sleeping in museums
stones and skeletons
i stopped looking for patterns
'cause there's a reason, reason nothing happens
this train i ride will never get caught
in a train-wreck of thought
baby can see through
all this matter and make-up and deja vu
yeah we drift here alone with nothing to do
until one of us makes the other one come true
cause and effect, whatever you say
i'm only half believing anyway
and i'll be the luckiest man in the universe
if cause and effect doesn't get there first
baby can see through
all this matter and make-up and deja vu
yeah we drift here alone with nothing to do
until one of us makes the other one come true (X2)
baby can see through
all this matter and make-up and deja vu
yeah we drift here alone, we drift here alone
we drift here alone, we drift here alone
we drift here alone with nothing to do
until one of us makes the other one come true
yeah one of us makes the other one comes true
she says this question don't answer like other questions do
so just let me be here with you
EAST
i cut my hair, and i am a foriegner
stamped on arrival, and stamped on departure
i told the man at the check-in desk, i am heading east
and he pretended know what that means
and it's always east, around and over
it's always been east, across and under
and i'll never fail to be on time
and i will always be the first one and the last one, in the longest line
i meet people like a foreigner meets people
they remember being young and nervous
people in high places, in low places
sit by the road with me, staring up and down
'cause i am everybodies friend
anybodies friend
i'm everybodies friend
friend
i kept on walking east
until i found something, something
something that i thought was perfect
perfect (X2)
EYE OF THE STORM
so you dance and you shuffle into the eye of the storm
eyes are on fire as if you've never been here before
and you say it's all nothing, you tell yourself quietly
that i hear you for miles, breathing differently
when it all falls down
you wont just stand there, looking at the ground
and holding your breath, holding out
so you drive to the water, changes from blue to green
and you wait there until the wind knocks you out of your body
you can stay there forever
counting the stars, try separate yourself from how things are
but you know you wont get very far
until it all falls down
so don't just stand there, looking at the ground
holding your breath, holding out
LOSING MY MIND
i was watching this monkey, this monkey watching me
and i needed a friend or some company
some days i just can't flick the switch, some days my skin just isn't so thick
i'm just here, and i'm just hearing
i get lost inside the endless wires, helpless as the neurons fire
and i'm up all night waiting for the punchline
waiting for the punchline
so i turn the house upside-down, to find something worth thinking about
and patiently i watch the walls close in on me
i stare into space until i see, it's space that's staring into me
and we talk a while, and we say our goodbyes
if i'm losing my mind, one day at a time
from talking to myself
if i travel through time, one day at a time
then i wont hold my breath, hold my breath, hold my breath
then i wont hold my breath (X2)
if i'm losing my mind, one day at a time
from talking to myself
if i travel through time, one day at a time
then i wont hold my breath
MOVING RIGHT ALONG
yeah what happened to you
when you couldn't ignore the line, that got marked across your life
what did you do?
did you get angry? did you get scared?
no i didn't think so
you were just getting some air
and you're moving right along
yeah they were asking about you
how were you gonna cope? and was there any hope?
they thought they knew
yeah they thought you'd falter, they thought you'd fail
but i knew better, you were just setting sail
and you were moving right along
moving right along
yeah where did you go, what did you do?
when it all just changed so fast
and the ground just came right out from under you
ah, did it get you down
the things they say
well you know they've got nothing better to do
and anyway there's another morning, there's another day
with a little time my friend you know that you can get yourself,
back on your way
and you'll be moving right along
moving right along
moving right, right along
ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
