6:00 (Demo 1994)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Six o'clock and the siren kicks him from a dream

Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop

Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep

And wood to chop before he sleeps

[Pre-Chorus]

I may never get over

But never's better than now

I've got bases to cover

[Verse 2]

He's in the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car

It's nine o'clock but he can't get out

He lights a cigarette and turns the music down

But he just can't seem to shake that sound

[Pre-Chorus]

Once I thought I'd get over

But it's too late for me now

I've got bases to cover

[Chorus]

Melody walks through the door

And memory flies out the window

Nobody knows what they want

'Til they finally let it all go

[Keyboard Solo]

[Bridge]

The pain inside coming outside

The pain inside coming outside

The pain inside coming outside

The pain inside, come on outside

[Verse 3]

So many ways to drown a man, so many ways to drag him down

Some are fast and some take years and years

You can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep

He finally found the sound but he's in too deep

[Pre-Chorus]

I could never get over

Is it too late for me now?

Feel like blowing my cover

[Chorus]

Melody walks through the door

And memory flies out the window

Nobody knows what they want

'Til they finally let it all go

But don't cut your losses too soon

Cause you'll only be cutting your throat

And answer a call while you still hear at all

Cause nobody will if you won't

[Instrumental Outro]
