The best advice to give you measured pound for pound Is to take the freeway straight, avoid the round and round The best advice to give you really pound for pound Is to take the freeway straight, avoid the round and round And if you get into your car and get a spark to start Gotta put it into gear because it's time to depart You take control of the wheel and drive it round the bend Then you get acceleration as you start to ascend And if you see a warning sign as you're driving the road That says the going gets steep, you'd better lighten your load Cause then the engine starts humming likes it's gonna explode All your gauges start flashing cause you're on overload You want to beg your lucky charms but there's no time my friend And just when you are thinking this is how it will end You find yourself shooting up there into the night Your instinct tells you, "Grab the wheel and hold on tight" You ratchet up a notch to break the speed of sound But are you sure it makes a sound if there is no one around? You ratchet up a notch to break the speed of sound But are you sure it makes a sound if there is no one around? And if you see a warning sign as you're driving the road That says the going gets steep, you'd better lighten your load And when your engine starts shaking likes it's going to explode All your instruments are flashing cause you're on overload You find yourself soaring up there into the night Your impulse is to grab the wheel and hold on tight But now you know it isn't you who's really flying the kite Your thrusters engage and shoot you outta sight And as you wonder what it is that makes the stars so bright You finally get to travel at the speed of light And I'll see you on the other side of life

Sugar Rush 03:39
I'm in love with this brilliant little girl If you asked me then I couldn't say why I'm in love with this sugar rush girl If you asked me then I couldn't say why There's something in the way that she walks And she's talking in a way that's brand new to me Maybe you would think that she's crazy but She wouldn't be her any other way I'm in love with my cotton candy girl If you asked me then I wouldn't deny I'm in love with this ice cream girl If you asked me then I couldn't deny I love the way she dances in circles And the songs she sings to pick out which clothes to wear Baby, you would think that I'm crazy but Aren't the best a little wild anyway? That's why I'm so glad I've got this ice cream Flowing through my blood stream Doesn't stop at nothing Taking care of everything I've got this sugar cane Rushing through my blood veins Doesn't stop at nothing Taking care of everything

Dreaming 03:55
I watched an angel walk out of my life She went slow She didn't want to go Love had held out her hand Sweetly beckoning to me Doubt came from behind And knocked her down There's some part of me That is gone That's been torn Searching for what I should do Was I dreaming of you? I've been spending my time contemplating Searching around in my mind For the needle I feared that I would find I was doubting my love for her Didn't understand why I was doubting my love for her Didn't understand why I realized the truth When I finally knew The reason I do what I do It's the promise of you Now I'm with you All my concerns melt And I'm conscious of you I know nothing else Now I'm with you So I let an angel Now I'm with you Walk out of my life Now I'm with you I didn't know but I hoped Now I'm with you That I would be meeting up with you Now I'm with you Now I'm with you Now I'm with you So I let an angel Now I'm with you Walk out of my life Now I'm with you I didn't know but I hoped Now I'm with you That I would be meeting up with you Now I'm with you Meeting up with you Meeting up with you

I know a place where we can go I know a place where nobody's home I know a place where we can be all alone I know a place we'll steal away I know a place at the end of the day I know a place I tell you it's the only way And if you go there we'll meet at dawn And if you go there we'll be the only ones And if you go there we'll see the rising face of the sun And the two of us will be as one I know a place where it's light as sky I know a place where gravity does not apply I know a place where both of us can learn to fly high I know a place we'll steal away I know a place at the end of the day I know a place I tell you it's the only way And if you go there we'll meet at dawn And if you go there we'll be the only ones And if you go there we'll greet the shining face of the sun And won't we be the lucky ones? And if you go there we'll meet at dawn And if you go there we'll be the only ones And if you go there we'll greet the shining face of the sun And won't we be the lucky ones?

Reasons 02:51
I don't mind talking I don't mind thinking Don't mind reasoning as well But when you go talking about reasons And when all the reasons are for leaving I don't believe that you're thinking Of what is good as well We help each other through the hard times When we lack confidence we bolster each other When things get crazy we work it out in the end And aren't the crazy things what keep us sane anyway I wish that you could Stop dwelling on our failings And start thinking of what is good Because baby what we've got is worth saving And you know you should And you know you should Stop dwelling on our failings And start thinking of what is good Because baby what we've got is worth saving And you know you should And you know you should And you know you should And you know you should now

Going back home Been away so long Don't know who I'll see there But I know I wanna be there Going back home Of all the places I've been Nothing compares to My England dream of Standing upon Richmond Hill You can see the skies above you River flows along below you You can feel the music ringing Colors blue and green are singing Going back home Of all the places I've been Oh haven't you seen My heimat dream Going back home When I need to be there Hoping that I see you And you know we're gonna meet where? Standing upon Richmond Hill You can see the skies above you River flows along below you You can see the music ringing Colors blue and green are singing And when I can't make it back I can close my eyes and dream Pretty soon I drift away And once in awhile it seems like I'm Standing upon Richmond Hill You can see the music ringing Colors blue and green are singing Skies are shining up above you Rivers dancing down below you

There are so many things to say And also tragic things to tell Let's remember all the good But some of the bad as well Now it's the end of the day And at the end of the day It's on the company's bill So we won't have to pay At the end of the day It's at the end of the day It's on the company's bill So we won't have to pay And now I fly But how can I? You only reach so high Try and touch the sky Before you come back down I fly But how can I? You only reach so high Try and touch the sky Before you come back down There are so many things to say And there are tragic things to tell Let's remember all the good But some of the bad as well Now it's the end of the day And at the end of the day It's on the company's bill So I won't have to pay At the end of the day At the end of the day It's on the company's bill So we won't have to pay

Star 04:27
You are sun You are moon You are far You are my star If you and I warped space and time I could be back home in no time You are sun You are my killing moon You are far You are my star My star My star

about

Late Arrivals Salt Lake City, Utah

In 1999, Later Rivals was poised to unleash their debut album "A Spark To Start," a sonic prophecy. Then their enigmatic band manager lured the band into cryogenic chambers, all in the name of safeguarding them from impending Y2K doom.

Fast forward 24 years. The timeless tunes had retained their melodic power. However, they embraced a subtle alteration, rechristening themselves Late Arrivals.
