The bridges lost in the fire I want them to be rebuilt Bring me your strongest men And find me your strongest steel We will get this city running again The buildings, they are not up to code Furnaces break and faucets Leak The street signs barely readable Delicately suggesting direction The sidewalks, they are crumbling Repairs never completed The Square is overgrown and Under-tended The Kingdom belonging to the Weeds But the Bridges we lost in the Fire They will be a sight to to see The finest bridges to these broken streets They will get this city moving again

Shaking & shifting All the time Sitting down But ready to spring Something after you? I'm not after you I promise. Tell me what's after you All the time Like a jack-in-the-box Spring! There you are! Wobbling up there Hoping to get shut back in the box Been in the box a while Jack? Gets lonely in the box, Jack. Ugly but comfortably huh, Jack? Nobody thinks they're all right At least no one interesting Just a world of shifters and shakers Twisters and turners Always fiddling and fidgeting Is something after you Jack? I think it's you Jack. Just you Jack, trying to catch you. But you can't win this race, Jack When you run, run, run From yourself Back into your box Back into yourself In that lovely little box Like two separate beings One after the other one in the jungle One is the Predator One is the Prey One trying to will his counterpart Right out of existence Shaking and shifting all the time, There he is, Jack ready to spring.

I will stand under your window I will sit outside your door I will be on guard every minute Until They're not here anymore I will never doubt that They exist These Things that keep you up at night If you can see Them I can feel Them And I'll put on my gloves and fight If there are any of Them out there I will hunt Them down I will not stop - I will take no rest Until Every One of Them is found I will check your closet I will check under your bed I will be at your side for every nightmare Until They are out of your head They may get stronger, They may come & go They may get worse, but I will get better And if it means I never sleep again, I promise They will never hurt you - EVER.

I am a train in two places Heading East and Heading West Based in the North But stationed in the South EASTBOUND I am fearful Uncomfortably unsure and uncomfortably unclear WESTBOUND I AM IN FREE FALL Unafraid and unabashed I am stationed in the North I am based in the South I am a train Bound in two directions
