"Try" & "5 to 10" by climbing vines from the 1995 album, Gripes of Wrath.

TRY

WATCHING YOU PANTOMIME WALLS THAT AREN’T THERE
DREAMING YOUR ENEMIES OUT OF THIN AIR
NO SCARY MONSTERS UNDER YOUR BED
TROUBLE AND FAILURE THEY’RE ALL IN YOUR HEAD
REAL POSSIBLITY JUST WAITING FOR YOU
REACH FOR THE CHANCES AND DON’T MISCONSTRUE
ALL OF THESE BAD INDICATIONS OF THINGS GONE AWRY
FEAR AND FRUSTRATION THAT’S NO ALIBI

(CHORUS)DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA
DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA TRY
DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA
DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA TRY

YOU WERE THE OPTIMIST NOT LONG AGO
CRIMSON ALL OVER YOU NO INDIGO
GRAB BOTH YOUR BOOTSTRAPS AND PULL REALLY HARD
GET OUT THE ROAD MAP AND I’LL DISREGARD
PRONE TO THE AVERAGE ALL OF US ARE
I’LL BE THE IMPETUS; IT’S NOT THAT FAR
DON’T SECOND GUESS THINGS; DON’T EVEN THINK
GO WITH YOUR INSTINCTS YOU’RE RIGHT ON THE BRINK
(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
I’VE SEEN YOU FLY; I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN
THE PALE HEROES IN YOU ARE FIGHTING TO GET OUT
EVEN IF IT’S ONLY FOR THEM

TRY
DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA
DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA TRY
DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA
DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA TRY
DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA
DON’T YOU THINK YOU OUGHTA TRY



5 TO 10

TRUE LOVE BORN OUT OF IGNORANCE
MIND LIKE A WHITE PICKET FENCE
SHE WAS JUMPING HERSELF
I WAS LOOKING AT SOMETHING ELSE

THAT TIME FLEW LIKE AN ACROBAT
BAD TIME HITTING THE MAT
YOU GET ONLY WHAT’S LEFT
ANGER AND MY REGRETS

PICKING FIGHTS WITH MY MIND
IT’S A FRACTURED DESIGN

WAITING FOR ZEN JUST TO TURN IT UP FROM 5 TO 10

YOU TALK PICK ME A TONGUE TIE
DRESS ME TO DINE ON MY PRIDE
I’LL BE EATING ALONE
YOU THINK IT’S OVERBLOWN
BIG DEAL MADE OUT OF LITTLE ONES
SOLD CAUSE YOU’RE SECOND TO NONE
I GET ALL OF WHAT’S LEFT
MOST OF WHICH I FORGET

PICKING FIGHTS WITH MY MIND
IT’S A FRACTURED DESIGN

I DON’T KNOW WHEN I WILL EVER FEEL SECURE AGAIN
WAITING FOR ZEN JUST TO TURN IT UP FROM 5 TO 10

JUST AS BAD AS IT BOTHERS YOU
BROKEN RECORDS FOR ME TOO
AND I KNOW THAT YOU’LL NEVER STAY
IF I KEEP MY TRUST AT BAY.

I DON’T KNOW WHEN I WILL EVER FEEL SECURE AGAIN
WAITING FOR ZEN JUST TO TURN IT UP FROM 5 TO 10
I DON’T KNOW WHEN I WILL EVER FEEL SECURE AGAIN
WAITING FOR ZEN JUST TO TURN IT UP FROM 5 TO 10
