Track Name: Kangaroo Court
There's a dark part of town where the girls get down
And I cannot wait for a chance to go
Wait for a chance to go

I got my bad luck shoes and every excuse
To dance these blues away, ain't comin home
I ain't comin home

Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Sit up, sit up, sit up!
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

In a dusty room I come to assume
That I've been doomed to lose my mind tonight
Too weak to fight

So I try to save face then I rest my case
The judge pulls me aside, says 'c'est la vie'
Let your darker side come out to feed

I commit the crime of wasting time
Always trying to rhyme, yes, I am guilty
But don't misunderstand me

I admit defeat then I move my feet
My history will never be repeated
I won't ever be repeated
Track Name: New Town Crier
Wake up, wake up
Show me your eyes
You slept through the morning
Now it's time to rise

Wake up, wake up
Show me your heart
Your life's just a moment
Now it's time to start

Cross the river
Jump the fire
We are walking on a tight-rope wire

Think deeper, climb higher
Even you could be the new town crier

Wake up, wake up
Show me your face
You slept through the night
You're gonna miss the race

Wake up, wake up
This is your time
To leave all your worries
and excuses behind
