Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

i fell for the promise

but i know that thats impossible

So then I got this idea about driving a cheesecake truck,
Because I figured at the end of the day I could take some of the leftover cheesecakes home,
And I love cheesecake.
So I went to the cheesecake company,
And they asked me if I could drive a truck,
And I said yes and they said you're hired.
So the next day I got in the truck with all the cheesecakes,
And I drove about a block and I just had to have a cheesecake.
So I pulled over and I opened the trunk and I got a cheesecake,
And I also took one for later,
And I took one for my friend Farmboy,
And I took one to bring home,
And by that time I had eaten one of the cheesecakes.
So I took another one.
Then I figured I might as well stop at my house to drop off all the cheesecakes.
So I take five cakes to eat on the way,
And I drive another block and a half to my house.
Now it's lunchtime so I eat ten cheesecakes and a cheesecake for desert.
I should point out by the way that all of these cheesecakes were very delicious.
Anyway, I decided that the only thing to do would be to eat all the rest of the cheesecakes and hide the truck somewhere and leave town.
And I miss everybody a lot,
But I'm not really sorry,
Because they were very delicious cheesecakes

The drunk kids, the catholics
They’re all about the same
They’re waiting for something
Hoping to be saved
Well I have been happy the past couple days
Just thinking of the women who’ve taken your place
And every night I think I certaintly won't ever sleep sober or alone
And then suddenly it occurs to me
I've slept alone before you
And so I pour myself the stiffest drink my stomach can stand
And convince myself to lay back down again
I’m gonna lay back down, I’m gonna lay back down again

True hunting is over.
No herds to follow.
Without game, men prey on each other.

True leaders gone, of land and people.
We choose no kin but adopted strangers.
The family weakens by the length we travel...
All of us with wings...

it's different when you're lonely
the whole world's in love
holding hands between barstools
you're holding your tongue

hold on
your so f*cked up
your so fickle
isn't this what you want?
so simple
so single

but it's different when your helpless
and the bars close their doors
growing hostle towards your waitress
those extra tips went ignored

it's different cause your desperate
banging lucy on the sidewalk
to a sea of glass colors
keep the conversation quick
and people will just think your different
and they sense it
your eyes can't disguise it
so glassy and empty
ready to spill

hold on
please don't leave here
i can't go home alone
it doesn't go over so well
hold on
just a little longer
at least through the night
at least through the morning

it's different when you're lonely
the whole world's in love

so hold on
hold on to me
i can hardly stand
much less the sight of myself
so, hold on
hold on tight to me
put your foot on the gas

and get me the f*ck out of here

Said young James. in my opinion, there's nothing in this world
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do
They don't have a soul like a Vincent 52
He reached for her hand and he gave her the keys
He said I don't have any further use for these
I see angels and ariels in leather and chrome
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
He gave her one last kiss and died
And he gave her his Vincent to ride.

I was at a funeral the day I realised
I wanted to spend my life with you
Sitting down on the steps at the old post office
The flag was flying at half-mast
And I was thinkin' 'bout how everyone is dying
And maybe its time to live

I don't know, where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Walked into the Thrif-tee
Saw a man with the hollow eyes
who didn't give me all my change
But it didn't bother me this time
'cause I know I've only got
this moment
And it's good
I went to the gas station
Old woman honked her horn
Waiting for me to fix her car

I don't know, where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Laying in bed tonight Im was thinking
and listening to all the dogs
and the sirens and the shots
And how a careful man tries to dodge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk

And maybe it's time to live

Travelling swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced breathing out listerine
I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya
And that you'd killed the better part of me
If you could just milk it for everything

But I still can't focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves

We're on our own in every way

Freaking out, the street car is stopped
And I ****ed up

[cosmo949]

You tried to make me doubt, to make me guess, tried to make me feel a little less,
Oh, I like you when your soul was bared, I thought you knew how to be scared,
And now it's amazing what you did to make me stay,
But truth is just like time, it catches up and it just keeps going.

I just want another chance to live.

and now im sitting out here on my porch

something about you
something about spending the afternoon
asleep in you arms

Watch as she lies silent for soon that will be gone.

Oh, I will make my way through one more day in hell.

How much difference does it make?

I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm.
Oh, I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired.
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind.
Hey, I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.

How much difference does it make?
Mmm, how much difference does it make?
How much difference...

I'll swallow poison until I grow immune.
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room.

I fell in love and
I needed a roadmap
To find out where you lived
So excited now
Sleepwalking, cuz I'm sleepwalking
The white trash boys
Listen to the headphones
Blasting white noise
In the convenience store parking lot
I hung around there
Wasting my time
Hoping you'll stop by
Cuz I'm sleepwalking, I'm sleepwalking
A mutual friend's parents
Left town for a week
So we raided their liquor stash
And walked down to the riverside
Sleepwalking, cuz I'm sleepwalking

[noxxville]

Where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves its broomstick arms
And does a parody of each unconscious thing you do
When you turn around to look it's gone behind you
On its face it's wearing your confused expression
Where your eyes don't go

Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering
It's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering
You're free to come and go or talk like Kurtis Blow
But there's a pair of eyes in back of your head

Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders
What the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of
Should you worry when the skullhead is in front of you
Or is it worse because it's always waiting where your eyes don't go?

no-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
one their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks

when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?

I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

of playing
playing with this bow and arrow

Close to me
No good-bye suicide mystery

The rat
In your brain
Turns a wheel
Connected to your guts and

Besides all the things they told you to
And all the things they told you to

mesmerised you get sucked in by the hype
headlights in your eyes
flame burns fast then your soul goes up in smoke

now what would you do if there was no tomorrow
and where would you go if you knew this was your last day on earth

having the time of your life
but you don't realise

play to win so you got to roll the dice
it's a vicious game
one false move that's how fortunes change and you're going down

now what would you do if there was no tomorrow
and where would you go if you knew this was your last day on earth

this is the time of your life
but you don't realise

now what would you do if you knew this was your last day on earth

i lost all my faith in love
on those stairs that november
i know it meant a lot at the time
now i can barely remember
it’s been a long time
it’s been a long time

you said i’ve been alone so long
that i’ve got big theories of lonely
and that i drag them all over town
just to look occupied
but i’m learning something
i’m doing time

red light, green light, one, two, three
have you come to conquer me?
it’s been a long time

hey i know how to take in all kinds
of heartless offers
and i’ve learned how to hand back a few
and i’ve come as close to love
as to walking on water
so what could i do with you?
what will i do with you?

i’m going out now i’ll send you some
postcards from downtown
i’ll show you all the apartments
where i got my degrees
where i’d fall like small dreams
where i’d fade like bright leaves

[laughingbuddha]

A dream is alive
As sprighty as it can be
the oceans are angry
As far as you can see

But the storn shall come to pass
And the calm shall return
Your dream shall then be painted on glass
At last, it will be yours to be

Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

There’s some days that I want to stay another day,
And there’s some days that I just want to escape.
And everyday just gets a little further from where I want to be.
I just want to sit alone and contemplate my own fate,
For today I hate everyone.

Let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Shell smashed, juices flowing
wings twitch, legs are going,
don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel.
One day, I'm gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless
hysterical and

crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Let down,

I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

Never will go so well
But why should I try to resist
When darlin' I know so well
I've got you under my skin

I'll give the world
To you
I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right

And the songbirds are singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before

And I wish you all the love
In the world
But most of all,
I wish it from myself

And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this before I go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this and more?
Baby, maybe its 'cause you didn't know me at all
Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, not consolation
Oh, you know it makes me so angry
'Cause I know that in time, I'll only make you cry
this is our last goodbye
Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"
Did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes
And the memories offer signs that it's over
Over...

Hast du etwas zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst du vielleicht g'rad an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass sowas von sowas kommt

99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für Ufos aud dem all
Warum schickte ein General
'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn's so wär
Dabei war'n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons

99 DüsenJäger
Jeder war ein grosser Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Das gab ein grosses Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

99 Kriegsminister
Streichhole und benzinkanister
Hielten sich für Schlaue Leute
Witterten schon Fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons

99 Jahre Krieg
Liessen keinen Platz für sieger
Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh ich meine Runden
Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab' 'ne Luftballons gefunden
Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I’m dying

Are the best I’ve ever had

I find it hard to tell you

'Cuz I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It’s a very very

Mad world

If the sky above is fallin'
And sun is on the wing
You could hear the angels calling
You could even hear'em sing

Gotta loose the brakes
Cause it's all about decisions
That only you can take
Makin' it real, and
Makin' it last
It's time to reveal
We'll get us there...

On nights like this
when the world's a bit amiss
and the lights go down
across the trailer park
I get down
I feel had
I feel on the verge of going mad
and then it's time to punch the clock

I put on some make-up
and turn up the tape deck
and pull the wig down on my head
suddenly I'm Miss Midwest
Midnight Checkout Queen
until I head home
and put myself to bed

I look back on where I'm from
look at the woman I've become
and the strangest things
seem suddenly routine
I look up from my Vermouth on the rocks
a gift-wrapped wig still in the box
of towering velveteen.

I put on some make-up
and some LaVern Baker
and pull the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963
Until I wake up
And turn back to myself

Some girls they have natural ease
they wear it any way they please
with their French flip curls
and perfumed magazines
Wear it up
Let it down
This is the best way that I've found
to be the best you've ever seen

I put on some make-up
and turn up the eight-track
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Farrah Fawcett
from TV
until I wake up
and turn back to myself

Shag, bi-level, bob
Dorothy Hammil do,
Sausage curls, chicken wings
It's all because of you
With your blow dried, feather back,
Toni home wave, too
flip, fro, frizz, flop,
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

I put on some make-up
turn up the eight-track
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm this punk rock star
of stage and screen
and I ain't never
I'm never turning back

standing in the dark outside the house
breathing the cold and sterile air
well I was thinking how it must feel
to see that little light
and watch it as it disappears
and fades into
and fades into the night

so I know you're going pretty soon
radiation sore throat got your tongue
magic markers tattoo you
and show it whare to aim
and strangers break their promises
you won't feel any
you won't feel any pain

and the streets are jammed with cars
rockin' their horns
to race to the wire
of the unfinished line

thought that I'd forget all about the past
but it doesn't let me run too fast
and I just wanna stand outside
and know that this is right
and this is true
and I will not
fade into
fade into the night

Music won't save you from anything but silence - not from heartbreak, not from violence



And there were those films, made in the Seventies where dolls ran through fields, late at night, after men
His shirt is my dress
I lost my knees and hands
He drowned my make-up in the white sand
And I'm too tiny for a heart this big
It swells like an ocean/It's breaking the jail of ribs
And he said it won't hurt
And he said it won't hurt
And he said it won't hurt - a lie the size of the sky
And this hotel is dusty and he's locked the door and the sea's gone so far out I can't see it anymore
I was baking when he kissed me
I put flour in his hair
He rolled me like a bottle, whispering wrong French in my ear

Through the rails I spied
Your ponytail. I tried
With sugar cubes - And they're O.K.
But I don't think
I'll catch you that way
I hate myself 'cause you're so cool
With your mocking eyes
"Won't you look at the old fool"
Wild horses - I want to have
Look at you - Unflawed.
Now look at me - Plain overawed
Grace and looks take no credit for
Girl you're young
And they're part of the score
Like the chemicals at war in me

I met a caveman in the library
And I asked him, "What was your life like?"
He said, "For the most part, we were appropriately named.
Mostly we just hung around in caves hoping for some food to come along
And waiting for the dinosaur to die."

I met Moses in the tavern, and I bought him a beer
I said, "Mo, there's something that I've always wondered about.
For forty years you wandered out in the desert.
Didn't one among you think beforehand to have brought some kind of map?"
He said, "We waited that the ones who knew firsthand of slavery could die out,
Be left behind, buried in the ground.
So that no one but the innocent could reach the Promised Land.
We waited for the children of slavery to die."

Now the young ones, the young ones
Begin their wandering through the desert
Through TV news, legal claims, and taxes
With one eye on the missiles, and one on the obituaries
Waiting for the children of the Cold War to die

"For we have mortgaged our very future on this defense
Anything is negotiable.
It is the soviets who have stirred up this crisis.
We must undertake air attacks.
The greatest need is confidence.
Communism is an aberration.
I want to do what is principled.
Anything is negotiable.
Communism is an
Communism is an aberration."

Helmut Kohl and Maggie Thatcher
Yasser Arafat, George Bush and Gorbachev
Are of the desert, they will not pass through
They will leave their bones behind
To vanish into dust
And one day bloom again as wheat stalks
Beneath the boiling sun

As the young ones
Begin their wandering
Through crack houses, leveraged buyouts, TV news, legal claims, and taxes
With one eye on the missiles, and one on the obituaries
Waiting for the children of the Cold War to die
One eye on the missiles, and one on the obituaries
Waiting for the children of the Cold War to die

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around broken in two
'Till you eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
'Till my hand shook with the way I fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

It was you breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust

Two weeks in a Virginia jail
For my lover, for my lover
Twenty thousand dollar bail
For my lover, for my lover

And everybody think
that I'm the fool
But they don't get
Any love from you
The things we won't do for love

I'd climb a mountain if I had to
Risk my life so I could have you, you, you, you...

Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed
For my lover, for my lover
They dope me up and I tell them lies
For my lover, for my lover

I follow my heart
And leave my head to ponder
Deep in this love
No man can shake

I follow my heart
And leave my head to wonder
Is this love worth
The sacrifices I make

here's the silhouette the face always turned away
the bleeding color gone to black, dying like a day
couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy
shook your head to say no no no
and stopped for a spell
and stayed that way
oh well, okay
i got pictures, i just don't see it anymore
climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
with the one i keep where it never fades
in the safety of a pitch black mind
an airless cell that blocks the day
oh well, okay
if you a get a feeling the next time you see me
do me a favor and let me know
'cos it's hard to tell
it's hard to say
oh well, okay

She rides with the gods of the night,
She rules the tides in me.
She crushes the waves with her sigh,
And she...oh lord... becomes a part of me,
But her care is as sharp as a knife.

How can you just walk away from me?

A family of foxes
Came to my yard and dug in
So I looked in a book
To see what this could possibly mean
'Cause there's fate in the breeze
And signs in the trees
And possible tragic events
When forces collide
With the damage strewn wide
And holes blasted straight through the fence
The sky starts to crash
The rain on the roof starts to drumming
And laid out like cash
Your take on my list of shortcomings
The show starts to close
I know how this goes
The plot's a predictable showing
And although it seems grand
We're just one speck of sand
And back to the hourglass we're going

I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it
no one else around even seems to be noticing
it's only small enough for me
I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it
it feels like fingernails across the moon
or do you rub your wings together
there's a mean bone in my body
it's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer and I won't take that from you
because I'd
hurt a fly let you go to sleep
feeling bad as me
let you go to sleep feeling bad

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.

Already I'm so lonesome I could die

I believe, I believe what the old man said
though I know that there's no lord above
I believe in me, I believe in you

no matter what you put me through
I'll still believe in love
and I say

I love your love action
lust's just a distraction
no talking, just looking
watching your love action

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
I try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

i'm going out sleepwalking
where mute memories start talking
the boss that couldn't help but hurt you
and the pretty thing he made desert you
i'm going out now like a baby
a naïve unsatisfiable baby
grabbing onto whatever's around
for the soaring high or the crushing down
with hidden cracks that don't show
but that constantly just grow
i'm looking for the man that attacked me
while everybody was laughing at me
you beat it in me that part of you
but i'm gonna split us back in two
tired of living in a cloud
if you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud
it's 2:45 in the morning
and i'm putting myself on warning
for waking up in an unknown place
with a recollection you've half erased
looking for somebody's arms to
wave away past harms
i'm walking out on center circle
the both of you can just fade to black
i'm walking out on center circle
been pushed away and i'll never go back

turn the ugly light off god
wanna feel the night
everyday it shines down on me
don't you think that i see what it's all about

hard to look the other way
while the world passes me by
and everyone is trying to bum me out

it's a pretty big world god
and i am awful small
everyday they rain down on me
flower in a hailstorm
i'm living for the drought
i could throw it back at them
but then i play their game
everyone is trying to bum me out

when i came into this world they slapped me
and everyday since then i'm slapped again
tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
you see, I know i'm gonna win

turn the ugly light off god
don't wanna see my face
everyday it will betray me
don't you think that i know what they're talking about

Recollect me darling raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure then you can't inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying I fit nearly
Surrounds me though I get lonely
Slowly

In my home no chrome as clear as
See me now with my nearest dearest
Been there when I'm over careering
Room shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Would you found my irritant's itching
Been here before
Been here forever

She comes
I make no sound in my eidertown
Awake I lie in the morning's blue
Room is still my antenna in you
Nylon burns the bedspread with two
Gravity's zero see me stall
I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall
It can be sweet though incomplete though
And the frames will freeze
See me on all four's
It's been a long time

I caught your radio waves
I caught your radio waves
Will you take a string
Say you string me along
Say you string me along
Say inertia creeps
Inertia creeps and she comes

tall dark stranger of the restless kind
shadow of a shadow

he's hard to get to know
he wakes you up in the dead of night
to tell you he's in love
he can give a heavy sleeper a terrible fright

and no one can keep up

with the mood swinging man
he'll be back down again

I hear a noise, I hear a noise, well I hear something
I am alone, you win again, I'm paralyzed
I drift away, I'll drift away, am I asleep yet
I hear a scream, I see me scream, is it from memory
Am I awake, am I alone, when it is sunrise
A baseball bat, a thing of mace
That thing of mace, the thing of mace, where did I leave it
A psychopath, a psychopath, he says he loves me
And I'm alone, and I am cold and paralyzed, I can't move

How does her world spin
Without me in her nest
Could there really be
Such happiness

But she's got a dark side too
even murderous
But I love that, just like her

I don't have a chance of writing the book,
I just want to be a page.

[moel]

Breathe it in and breathe it out
And pass it on, it's almost out
We're so creative, so much more
We're high above but on the floor
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side

The deeper you stick it in your vein
The deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain
I'm in heaven, I'm a god
I'm everywhere, I feel so hot

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

It's over now, I'm cold, alone
I'm just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

Free me, leave me
Watch me as I'm going down
Free me, see me
Look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling.

It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive I feel...
It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
I'm not an addict...

Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that... (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy

Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does....

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

Good night
Sleep tight
Here with me
And in the morning
We'll open our eyes
And look at each other
And sunny skies
And when you think
Of getting high
I'll think of nice things
To make you smile
'Cause when you drink
It makes me cry
And when you get high

[Buckley]

It's good to get high
And never come down

Not much Friday night, pinball, Lower East Side
Walked halfway past and into the bar
I used to think about you all the time
I would think about you all the time
Now it just feels weird, that there you are
The damage is done
Feeling like a kid again, my eyes are glued to the floor
I hope I mumbled goodbye as you walked out the door
The damage is done

I love all the dirty tricks
And twisted games you play on me

sometimes i climb high above the city
to see the lights shining they're so pretty
and think of the millions of lives going on
and this present moment and those come and gone
and it makes me float free
to feel how small my life must be

whenever i can
i go down to the sea
and wonder at how many miles there must be
and all of the peoples on all of its shores
and this present moment and those gone before

and it makes me float free

[sybil]

and every night i think
i certainly
won't ever sleep
sober
or
alone
then suddenly
it occurs
to me
i've slept alone before you

and so i pour myself the stiffest drink
my stomach
can stand
and convince myself
to lay
back down again.

[moel]

I wish i was a neutron bomb
for once i could go off
i wish i was a sacrifice
but somehow still lived on
i wish i was a sentimental
ornament you hung on
the Christmas tree, i wish i was
the star that went on top

I wish i was the evidence
i wish i was the grounds
of fifty million hands up raised and opened toward the sky

****ER

Came home tonight
i felt like i died of lonliness
strange you think
popularity
looking for a simple life
life ain't simple
im tired and sick but i
dont want to be alone

i go to a party
but i dont really want to
and now im sitting out here on my porch
riding in the dark air
listening to
my little black cat meow

trying to vent some of the terrible passion
thats coursing through me
something about you
something about spending the afternoon
asleep in you arms
i hate you
****er

If they were right,
I'd agree.
But it's them they know not me.
There's a way,

My heart is broke
but I have some glue
Help me inhale
and mend it with you
We'll float around
and hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
and have a hangover...
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up...

relax
come near me
dont pretend you cant hear me
sometimes difference is the only thing we have
sometimes difference is the biggest thing we have

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Sometimes I feel
like I am drunk behind the wheel
the wheel of possibility
however it may roll
give it a spin
see if you can somehow factor in
you know there's always more than one way
to say exactly what you mean to say

Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an indication
it was hard to find
Don't matter what I say only what I do
I never mean to do bad things to you
so quiet but i finally woke up
if you're sad then it's time you spoke up too

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Rico was a short man
Wants to live with a long haired girl
In Cosa Meda
Rip off fruit stands
During the getaway
She will drive the Vespa

He's gonna buy a parrot
That speaks her language
But all it'll say is what are you doing with him
Let's take off, take off, take off, take off

Everyone's gotta be something
Me, I'm garbage
It's all I ever wanted to be
Shock me again and I'll say
Anything you want me to

Let it play out
Buy the rights to endless love
If your friends don't like it
You can tell them from me to
**** off, **** off, **** off, **** off

Everyone's gotta be something
Me I'm stupid
It's all I ever wanted to be
Shock me again and I'll say
Anything you want me to

Everyone's gotta be something
Me I'm loaded
It's all I ever wanted to be
Shock me again and I'll stay

Working all day for a mean little guy
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie
He's got me running around the office like a gerbil on a wheel
He can tell me what to do, but he can't tell me what to feel
Hey Julie look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up, trying to wear me down
Julie I swear it's so hard to bear it
and I'd never make it through without you around

What she said
"How come someone hasn't noticed
That I'm dead
And decided to bury me ?
God knows, I'm ready !"

What she said was sad
But then, all the rejection she's had
To pretend to be happy
Could only be idiocy

What she said was not for the job or
Lover that she never had
Oh ...
No no no ...

All heady books
She'd sit and prophesize

To really really open her eyes)

No time to flck
But you like the rush
And where would we
Be without sums
Deals we make
Brown paper bag makes for a hat
When it rains on

When you laugh
I'm inside
Your mouth
Baboons and birds
Sucking the sun
With the weight of you dear

Went out last night to take a little round.
I met my little Sadie and I brought her down.
I ran right home and I went to bed
With a forty-four smokeless under my head.

I began to think what a deed I'd done,
I grabbed my hat and I began to run.
I made a god run but I ran too slow;
They overtook me down in Jericho

Standing on a corner ringin' my bell,
Up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville.
He said "Young man is you name Brown?
Remember the night you blowed Little Sadie down."

"Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee.
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree.
First degree and second degree,
If you've got any papers will you serve them to me?"

Well they took me down town and they dressed me in black.
They put me on a train and they brought me back.
I had no one for to go my bail;
They crammed me back into the county jail.

The judge and the jury they took their stand.
The judge had the papers in his right hand.
Forty-one days, forty-one nights;
Forty-one years to wear the ball and the stripes.

One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm headed for a land that's far away
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
There's a land that's fair and bright,
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night.
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
And the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around it
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
The jails are made of tin.
And you can walk right out again,
As soon as you are in.
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws nor picks,
I'm bound to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

[moel]

Some bright morning, when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away, in the morning
When I die, hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

When The shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away, in the morning
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away, in the morning
When I die, hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away, in the morning
When I die, hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away, in the morning
When I die, hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away

Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain and a guitar and a stereo
And while he wishes he could escape this
But it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul

I remember feeling low
And I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are all
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are all

Oh, and Gina's losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music, hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
Every calorie's a war,
And while she wishes she was a dancer
And that she never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful

I remember feeling low
And I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are

One day you'll have to let it go
You'll have to let it go
One day you'll stand up on your own
You'll stand up on your own
Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are

We are, we are all innocent

I am alone
But adored by 100,000 more

My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide 'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will you know I will

Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself

My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness

Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release in peace

I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give your love
No matter what she said

Then I got fired for reading High Times
My license expired in almost no time
Now I'm retired, and I think that's fine

Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine.

Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line

If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something

I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time

Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know

The season is long and I've got the chills
The city steps back, replaced by the hills
There's snow on my heart and snow on my pills
The season is long and this season kills
Don't you ever think that you might love me?
The season is long and I'm coming home
I captured your ghost in the throat of the phone
There's snow on my heart and snow on my pills

Don't you ever think that you might love me?

All that's to come
