2.	Broken Wing (DittyTV Version) 04:36	lyrics	buy track
I’m overwritten The weight is alive Comes down like an ocean And I just realized You’ve had a broken wing so long I couldn’t fix you A gift wrapped up quiet I didn’t ask you Running out of steam Trying everything Trying to take off with a broken wing They try to write you down And you come in waves Blue eyes towards the ocean There’s truth in your game You’ve had a broken wing so long I couldn’t fix you A gift wrapped up quiet I didn’t ask you Running out of steam Trying everything Trying to take off with a broken wing I wanna be with you on the night The stars fall out and empty out the sky We laugh cause it brightens up the eyes we’re looking into We’re looking into
3.	On Satellite (DittyTV Version) 05:44	lyrics	buy track
I made up my mind To go back to the place Where I can lie My head until It slips down every aisle On Satellite You’re out of time You can’t find a bed or a Shape to fit in Just drop a line In the back And your head will spin On satellite You’ll be cool I can be your fool And I’m always on time Love breaks your heart And you knew it from the start I’m always on time But so what, so what, so what So what, so what, so what You’re in the world Your dropping out Like you did in school Your dropping out And that ship is Sailing soon into a light But you’re still out of time Can’t find a bed or a shape to fit in Just drop a line In the back and your head will spin On satellite You’ll be cool I can be your fool And I’m always on time Love breaks your heart And you knew it from the start I’m always on time But so what, so what, so what So what, so what, so what You’ll be cool I can be your fool And I’m always on time
4.	Hollywood Gold (DittyTV Version) 04:00	lyrics	buy track
I caught your name on the display Walking the metallic park The same moon shone that day And the lights of your eyes were sparks Lighting up the boulevard And you were on You and I were meant for the weather You and I have years to get old You and I have plans for the summer Living in the Hollywood gold They say you live in the clouds Counting each beating heart Where the music is too loud And you come and go as you want But you don’t know what you want You and I were meant for the weather You and I have years to get old You and I have plans for the summer Living in the Hollywood gold You and I were meant for the weather You and I have years to get old You and I have plans for the summer They tell you you need Hollywood gold You and I You and I You and I You and I
5.	Somewhere in the Middle (DittyTV Version) 03:37	lyrics	buy track
You were always looking around With the eyes in the back of your mind Tripping over your ideas Somewhere in the middle Automated heart Unplug, restart Living in a house antebellum Prescription drugs And toys in the cellar In the backseat of the car Somewhere in the middle Automated heart Unplug, restart You found a moving antecedent Australia or Indonesia In a lions den of love Somewhere in the middle Automated heart Unplug, restart
6.	Setting Sun (DittyTV Version) 04:33	lyrics	buy track
I am a setting sun I am a setting sun And I’m going down I am searching for ways I am searching for ways To stay above ground I’ve been on the fall and I’ve Seen the rise I’m hanging on like I should Lying in the background every night Are you gone for good? I shine through rain I shine through the rain And blue up the sky I feel the same way I feel the same way All the damn time I’ve been on the fall and I’ve Seen the rise I’m hanging on like I should Lying in the background every night Are you gone for good? You want me to stay You want me to stay With you for all time But you forgot to say Goodnight Goodnight
7.	His Songs (DittyTV Version) 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Everybody is a mathematician Calculating and deriving things I think he is just a sad magician Being sad and making beautiful things And he takes Takes all he wants from us It was always there in the night Water flowing from a mountainside I think I just want to let you know I’ll be trying until I go And I’ll take Take all I want from us I’ll sing it tonight I’ll sing it tonight I’ll sing it tonight
