Faces is Jason's 3rd album.

1. Sandra's Song


[download]

Sandra, we called it love
That’s what it was
We didn’t say it just because
We was young and dumb
And looking for some fun
But it was fun, fun, fun
Ya it was fun, fun, fun
In a delicate sort of way

Planting flowers in a garden
Hoping that they’ll bloom
But you gotta give ‘em water
And you gotta give ‘em room
So they can grow, grow, grow
So they can grow, grow, grow
Until time takes its toll
Until time takes its toll
I’m sorry I had to go

Sandra, I told you that I loved you
And you know my heart is true
So while I’m thinking of you
Darling, don’t be blue
‘Cause it was love, love, love
Life changing love
And I dream of you so much
I dream of your loving touch

2. Old Man


[download]

I’m an old man
I don’t stand a chance
I miss my friend who is dead
I miss the times that we had

I’m an old man
I only remember what I can
But thoughts, they slip like sand
Out the bottom of my hand

CHORUS
Don’t cry for me because you think that I’m sad
For I’m a happy old man
I’m a happy old man

MUSICAL BREAKDOWN

I’m an old man
I’ve lived a good life, I will swear by that
And by the wrinkles on my hand
I’ve proof of the time that has passed

CHORUS

END
I’m a happy old man
I’m a happy old man
I’m a happy old man

3. Owe (All We Have)


[download]

When I wake up, I see light
It creeps into my eyes and I’m alive

And all we have is what we do
From the time we’re born until we die
So I say, don’t we owe it to ourselves
To celebrate this life while we still can

It all seems so far away
But it’s creeping closer everyday
And I’m afraid that I’m throwing it all away
So I say, don’t we owe it to ourselves?

MUSICAL BREAKDOWN

And I’m afraid that I’m throwing it all away
So I say, don’t we owe it to ourselves?
To celebrate this life while we still can

It all seems so far away
But it’s creeping closer everyday
And I’m afraid that I’m throwing it all away
So I say, don’t we owe it to ourselves?

4. Taking the Test


[download]

I’m taking the test, there’s one hour left
Some I know, on some I guess

Think hard now for the answer
I think I read that in Chapter 3
Or was it 13? Or was it just a dream?

CHORUS 1
And in my hours of study, my head is about explode
And lately I’ve been feeling like my head is stuck in a hole

I hope the professor won’t think lesser of me
When I should have been studying
I was watching TV and smoking weed

CHORUS 2
And figuring these problems in my head
Makes me want to go to bed
But looking at the clock running
Gives a rush of blood to my head

OUTRO
I’m taking the test, I’m doing my best
But I’ve been lacking, slacking, that I must confess
But if I am blessed, I’ll beat the rest
And maybe I will get myself an A
And once I have passed, I’ll be done at last
And then maybe I can smoke myself a J

REPEAT OUTRO

5. Daisy


[download]

Daisy was shot in the head
As she lit her cigarette, she blew her mind instead
Lying on the ground dead
Daisy, I forgive you for those things you said

CHORUS
Pretty girl, why’d you make me cry?
Why’d you have to die?
We’ll always miss your smile and your sense of humor

Daisy was only 17
Growing up in Cleveland where she dreamed to be a queen
Every word she said would echo in my head
Daisy, I forgive you for those things you said

CHORUS

BREAKDOWN
I know now
That life can end in a second’s count
But I won’t cry
No, not I, I’m fine
At least while I’m alive
Daisy, you’re a friend of mine

Daisy was the gambling type
She took her daddy’s money and she lived the Vegas life
Put it all on red, now that girl’s dead
She lost her money, and she lost her mind, and she lost her cigarette

CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

END
Why’d you make me cry?
Why’d you have to die?

6. San Francisco


[download]

I've got a letter in my pocket
I've got an envelope addressed with your name
If I could only find some place where I could drop it
Well, the mailman will take my letter away

See, I’ve never been to San Francisco
But my writings have been from time to time
And with 39 cents and some soul searching
I could send my thoughts across the sky

BREAKDOWN
Oh, what a dandy system
And just like my sisters
Always growing, but never slowing
Down to Mississippi, up through Santa Fe
There’s brilliance being written, and bills being paid
Across from New York City to the San Diego Bay
Rain or snow or sleet or hail don’t stop delivery
Deliver me my mail over mountains, into townships
Through the valley deep with green
Onto main roads full of potholes
Onto sidewalks, and to your door
It’s the mailman with my letter
And a smile that’s come so far
It's a system, it makes me happy
Now I’ll wait for your reply
It's a system, it makes me happy
Now I’ll wait for your reply

See, I’ve never been to San Francisco
But maybe I will get there some day
And while I ponder golden gates and bridges
The mailman will take my thoughts away

7. Big Screen II


[download]

She made the cover of every major magazine
And all the people saw her face on the big screen

CHORUS 1
She says, “I should be happy, but my life is
One big spectacle for all these people to see.”

She made the cover of every major magazine
And now her drunken father wants a piece of the money

CHORUS 2
She says, “This ain’t what I signed up for
When they said I would be a star.
Things have gone too far.”

BREAKDOWN
I won’t miss the fighting
No, no I won’t miss the fighting
I’m just a child, I’m just a child
I won’t miss the fighting
No, no I won’t miss the fighting
So I’ll smile, I’ll just smile
Until my days are done and I’ve retired

She made the cover of every major magazine
And all the people saw her face on the big screen

8. LeBron


[download]

INTRO
Fate brought LeBron James to Cleveland
Now let’s go all the way

Take it to the hole, LeBron, you are 6 foot 8
You can do most anything with all of that strength
From behind the arc for 3 or down the lane for 2
It don’t matter much ‘long as they get the ball to you

CHORUS
You’re the kid from Akron, a prince at 17
Didn’t take long from James to become King
30 points is standard for #23
Come and see LeBron James
He’s rewriting history

Used to play some ball myself, but I will never know
What it feels like to dribble down that hardwood floor
With 20,000 fans screaming my name for MVP
At 21 years old, you’re doing more than buying drinks

CHORUS

BRIDGE
My life is sliding by
I’d like to win before I die
How about you? How about you?
How about you, you, you, you, and you?

30 points is standard for #23
Come and see LeBron James
He’s rewriting history

9. Dancing for the King


[download]

He brought me in when I was alone
I owe it to him to show him what I know

He keeps me safe and keeps my spirits high
When I need a dollar bill he gives me five

CHORUS
In this life
I’m dancing for the king
Keep him entertained
Dancing for the king
And I’d die for him

MUSICAL BREAKDOWN

In this time of Great War
He needs our support
With the bombs all flying high
His patience is being tested and tried

And now the king’s going crazy
He’s losing his mind
I don’t think that I can make it
My feet are growing tired
And I’m about to give this bullshit my resign
But I’m afraid the king will crush me and eat me alive

CHORUS

END
If I was the king, if I was the king

10. The Pez Song


[download]

My Pez are my best friends
And I don’t know what I would do without them
Ain’t it just so dandy
Pull back their heads and they spit out candy
Well I’m a sucker for things like that
Like pulling a rabbit from a black top hat

CHORUS
And I know that they’re waiting there for me
And I know that they’re waiting there for me

Sure I miss my girlfriend
But she don’t beat my collection of Pez
And while I think that she is sexier than them
She don’t got candy coming out of her neck

CHORUS

MUSICAL BREAKDOWN
