LYRICS

COURSE CORRECTION

have you gone wrong?
no one is meant to know
is it too long?
i’ve waited so long for you
every little thing that i wanted to say
i can never keep you out of this rain
course correction always will take my place
brother
you’re gonna die
and i cannot help you
i don’t know why
get on the chopper and fly
’cause you will always know that she turned out okay
never ever doubted you any which way
course correction always will take my place
brother

SWEAT LODGE (DO THE HYPNIC JERK)

(instrumental)

CHECKMATE, MR EKO

never mistake coincedence for fate
never assume you’re just a pawn to play
have a little faith in what locke has to say
he may be wrong but so will you one day
so will you one day
no, you’ve gotta hit that key
so the world doesn’t wait for me
oh, our memories are so short
oh, the apple IIes we fought over down there
checkmate, mr eko-oh
lift your eyes and look north, oh
never mistake coincedence for fate
never assume you’re just a pawn to play
have a little faith in what locke has to say
he may be wrong but so will you one day
so will you one day
no, you’ve gotta hit that key
so the world doesn’t wait for me
oh, our memories are so short
oh, the apple IIes we fought over down there

DUMB BACKWARDS GOVERNMENT

if you don’t wanna be living inside of a box
then you had better get out of here
the government does not care about any of you
because you’re never gonna vote for them

so if you don’t wanna be left in the lurch
you had better be one of them

if you don’t wanna be another stick in the mud
then we have got a little spot for you
just do it anyway, no matter how dumb backwards
it makes us look around all the world

so if you don’t wanna be left in the lurch
you had better be one of us

BURIED

no, i don’t want you to know
i have them in a place
that no one we will know
will ever dare to go
never will tell any one
never will tell any one
i know this isn’t right
but we can’t wait all night
this is a plan to keep
so secret and so deep
never will tell any one
never will tell any one
now there’s another way
off this island, no way
and if you had the time
how would you do the crime?
never will tell any one
never will tell any one

NEVER KNEW

never been one to put faith in
things i don’t know
never been one to revel in
drugs i don’t know
father i wanted to know her
i never knew
what it was that i was meant to
i never knew, never knew, never knew about us
and we’re living our lives in ease
things have never been worse
why were you down in the under
i never knew
who she was, i never found out
until you were
dead in the air, never buried
i never knew
father i wanted to be there
i never knew, never knew, never knew about us
and we’re living our lives in ease
things have never been worse
and we’re living our lives in ease
things have never been worse
and we are living our lives in ease
things have never been worse

RADIO TOWER

valenzetti he said we’re all gonna die
numbers cannot be changed
numbers never lie
can you count on the truth?
can you count on me?
can you count to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9?

can you live in the past?
there’s no other choice
and the numbers are here, using hurley’s voice
can you count on the truth?
can you count on me?
can you count to 4 8 1 5 1 6 2 3 4 2?

signal jamming under water
looking glass
i punch in the numbers
music of the past
can you count on the truth?
can you count on me?
can you count to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9?

alert the boat we’re here, although locke said don’t
and just ignore the fear it’s not penny’s boat
can you count on the truth?
can you count on me?
can you count to 4 8 1 5 1 6 2 3 4 2?

THE NEW MAN IN CHARGE

there’s a new man in charge of this place
and he’s not about to be erased
so if you’ve got a problem then you should just go
unlike under jacob’s rule you can
come and go as you like
please understand this isn’t like it was before
you can just go
i am the most unlikely leader yet
i know i’ve never been the one to go
so far out of my way and out of my depth
i need someone who knows their way around here
someone with experience
so will you be my number two ben?

VINCENT

(instrumental)

IN OVER MY HEAD

i love you, and you don’t know
what you got yourself in to
all of this, i know it’s all a dream
second chances they have come before
i never tried to hurt you
so so so i have changed
you have changed
i am not the one who is deranged
so so so i have changed
and and and you have changed
so i am in over my head,
i love you, i don’t know what to say
maybe i will write it down
second chances they have come before
i never tried to hurt you
so i have changed
you have changed
i am not the one who is deranged
i have changed
and and and you have changed
i am in over my head, head
let’s pretend we’re all anew
let’s pretend we’re all anew
i have changed
you have changed
i am in over my head

I DON’T KNOW

glass that shows my face and a home i left
came back to this place, why? i just don’t know
have you never been called upon
to play a game that can’t go on
i don’t know
mirrors up the stairs are a door
in a place i haven’t been before
i don’t know
i don’t know
i don’t know
what are all these words? oh, they look like names
numbered every one, no, we’re all the same
have you never been called upon
to play a game we know can’t go on
i don’t know
listen up i’ve got one request
i never wanted to be the best
i don’t know
i don’t know
i don’t know
