2. One of their songs is the perfect anthem for me:
I see life and it's passin' right before my eyes
And the past is the past don't regret it, time to realize
I need to walk on the wire just to catch my breath,
I don't know how or where but I'm goin' it's all that I have left

It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling runnin' through, my soul

Never took this road before -- destination unknown
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
Won't be coming back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown

See a chance gotta take it wanna meet my fate
'Cause the last thing I ever wanted was to find out it's too late
No way out when you're in it deeper than the night
There's a light at the end of the tunnel and I see it burning bright

It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling soarin' through, my soul

Never took this road before -- destination unknown
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
Won't be comin' back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown

7. Here's one of my anthems:
Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?

My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said

You look at me as if you're in a daze
It's like the feeling at the end of the page when you realize
You don't know what you just read.

What are words for
When noone listens anymore
What are words for
When noone listens what are words for
When noone listens
There's no use talking at all.

I might as well go up and talk to a wall
Coz all the words are having no effect at all
It's a funny thing.. am I all alone?

Something has to happen to change the direction
What little filters though is giving you the wrong impression
"it's a sorry state" I say to myself

What are words for
When noone listens anymore
What are words for
When noone listens what are words for
When noone listens
There's no use talking at all.

Do you hear me?
Do you care?
Do you hear me?
Do you care?

Let me get by over your dead body
Hope to see you soon
When will I know?
Doors three feet wide with no locks open
Walking always backwards in faces of strangers
Time could be my friend
But it's less then nowhere now....

Pursue it any further and another thing you'll find
Not only are they deaf and dumb they could be going blind
noone notices
I think I'll dye my hair blue.

Media overload bombarding you with action
It's getting near impossible to cause distraction
someone answer me.. before I pull the plug.

What are words for
When noone listens anymore
What are words for
When noone listens anymore

5. Absolutely nothing to feel guilty about, my good man.
I like "Missing Persons". How can you NOT like a song like "Destination Unknown"? :-)

10. Any band with four Zappa alumni simply can not suck. It's impossible. nt
