clusters of people talking secretly to each other. in a bar you cannot talk openly to anyone you don't already know. 4 year olds, they have got the right idea: they jump the line and hit it on the nose. when we sit and we get quiet, then we look and see who's home. across the way there are 80 windows we can see, it's christmastime and they all have the same tree. you tell me the patterns you a...
Do you wake up and lie there And think it through? Is the weight of your own life Too much for you? But it all is a game You forgot to play You did Woke up an hour after the clock Remembered the details And wanted to stop The stakes in my life Are going so far up That my fingers are like Haven't you had enough But first I gotta find money I gotta get lunch Tell me something funny Coz I'm crack...
To make a mountain of your life Is just a choice But I never learned enough To listen to the voice that told me Always love Hate will get you every time Always love Don't wait til the finish line Slow demands come 'round Squeeze the air and keep the rest out It helps to write it down Even when you then cross it out But Always Love Hate will get you every time Always Love Even when you wanna fi...
You made me feel like i'm ok, i could be happy turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down. now i can sit, not run away stupidly laughing wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down i walk around the city out of my way, looking for something i've got all that i need to save my day, so why'm i running? you said i should get professional help, it always makes me cry. i know i'm just an a...
And so we meet and there are sparks, Its gold it's new and free from sharks, Your house is big it seems so clean, Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet. Are you lightning? 'Cause I'm waiting. What's the timing? I'm not playing. And so I act like I'm 21, Wide eyed and drifting unto sun, Pay back is here my legs are numb, I'm back, it's square one feeling dumb. The sweet things, When do th...
I was about to change But you stayed the same Had pinned against the wall That we are pre-ordained If they gave you extra scenes You'd hit back to main Disappear by train Cut my signal chain Find a stable girl And fill it up again You can't foresee intent When the writer writes all bent Armies walk inside of me Armies walk physically Every day I steal a car That's how hard it is to Get away fr...
when you walk home from the party drunk on bacardi and listening to the voices that lie to you nightly, make you frightened of everyone, make you sorry for something. you go home and spend your life alone with the stereo, watching the late show; or force yourself out in the night to meet your generation. you feel like claymation in fluorescent light. on our knees, we made it hard to see, we ma...
i only wanna say things that are pure: now i won't be talking anymore. i only wanna do things that are true. every time i move i'm hurting you. i wanna know what is it that you do to keep from hurting anyone but you? cause i still say your name when i don't feel right, just like i used to and if most people fade to gray and black, you'll fade to light blue. i think too much and then start talk...
Leave me alone, and there'll be No one to get hurt Nobody move and there'll be Nothin' to disturb The sum of it all is that you Don't know where to turn Despite all your promises you Don't keep what you learn Beautiful beat get me out of this mess Beautiful beat lift me up from distress Sometimes all i want is another Drink or another pill If i could get anything done Maybe I'd hold still I'm ...
To hell with it I'm going to have a party I had the blankest year I saw life turn into a tv show The person I knew I didn't really know Time don't move We're the only ones who do Bending reason Coz it's all we hold on to And now it's lonely Thank god the band's doing well But you don't own me I'd like to return this spell It's not my size Your lies are so much bigger Than my lies And your ties...
in blizzard of '77 the cars were just lumps on the snow and then later tripping in 7-11 the shelves were stretching out of control on a plane ride the more it shakes the more i have to let go now the signals still getting all mixed up we're always doing damage control but in the middle of the night i worry it's blurry even without light i know i have got a negative edge that's why i sharpen al...

Comes a time when You can't judge no more Go out shopping Can't see the store I can't believe that We're really all good One of us has gone Where they never should Comes a time when You really can't judge Should go walking You don't even budge I can't believe how Far we have gone One of us has not come along Get up and tell the sun That you don't feel love How long can you Keep circling round?...
The world's locked up in your head You've been pouring it a concrete bed Your habits ossify You don't realize you're fried To find someone you love You've gotta be someone you love The reason's somewhere in the din But it takes years 'til it sinks in You've used up the easy streets And you lost your taste for treats So fried Stay high if you have to Do whatever it asks you You've got another c...

The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound Take a train to a bus, and then into the air Take a train to a bus, and then into the air If I had wings, I'd follow you up there Girl you know I hate to see you go I hate to see you go But the sunlight follows you right down the road Just th...
this time, the win is mine. my perfect life. room spin, don't know how to stop, don't know how to start. firecracker, the one you keep inside. firecracker, you don't know how to light. so sink in the tailspin of plans and sleep, or come and crush me tight, my favorite high. here comes the film, PG 13 crackdown. no net no cage, no first mistake.
The fox, the fox Lied Eyes under my prize The fox, the fox Lied Fox eyes under my prize We're in a different war With ourselves, and with some of you So many things that don't hold true With the fear that dims our light With the barnacles on our right On the grass, beachy head On the cliff to which you've been lead The curve of the hill is green and soft As if the wind would hold you aloft Its...

Hey, calling all imaginary friends Today, don't want no-one To tell me how it ends Took breathing for granted And now I don't know how to breathe Something that you planted Just won't get up and leave Lenny Bruce's bug eyes Stare from an LP Asking me just what kind Of fight I've got in me I harbored some ambition To turn it up like that I already had roadblocks so Why'd you have to cheat?

I look in the mirror To see what my hair is doing Is it kind of skywalker Or kind of stupid?

i can see the things she does for me i'm living in a treehouse i live in constant fear awakening must be near i'm sleeping in a dreamhouse a tine in the fork in the road is pointing to heaven but the sky is old a tine in the fork in the road is pointing at nothing cause it's all been sold i live with you to die in a jamais vu i love you but this isn't true
why do i feel bad again? i shouldn't be sad or miss a grin. doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out, skews the view from my cloud. troublemaker tempting fate, questioning the path i take, showing me the twists and turns, the forks and points of no return. i would hold my breath so long to wash ashore where i belong. broken roses on the steps, like promises i never kept. promises i never made but ...

Lucky
And so we meet and there are sparks, Its gold it's new and free from sharks, Your house is big it seems so clean, Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet. Are you lightning? 'Cause I'm waiting.

The Proximity Effect
clusters of people talking secretly to each other. in a bar you cannot talk openly to anyone you don't already know. 4 year olds, they have got the right idea: they jump the line and hit it on the nose. when we sit and we get quiet, then we look and see who's home. across the way there are 80 windows we can see, it's christmastime and they all have the same tree. you tell me the patterns you a...

when you walk home from the party drunk on bacardi and listening to the voices that lie to you nightly, make you frightened of everyone, make you sorry for something. you go home and spend your life alone with the stereo, watching the late show; or force yourself out in the night to meet your generation. you feel like claymation in fluorescent light. on our knees, we made it hard to see, we ma...
i only wanna say things that are pure: now i won't be talking anymore. i only wanna do things that are true. every time i move i'm hurting you. i wanna know what is it that you do to keep from hurting anyone but you? cause i still say your name when i don't feel right, just like i used to and if most people fade to gray and black, you'll fade to light blue. i think too much and then start talk...

you see yourself sitting on top so self assured - happy, but when your parents bail you out you somehow feel not free. you're bored to tears in school, it's not like what you thought at all. trouble is not the answer. i know what you want to know: slow down; why you wanna move so fast? why you wanna walk so far? i think i know what you want. your father toys with you hoping his evil game will ...

why do i feel bad again? i shouldn't be sad or miss a grin. doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out, skews the view from my cloud. troublemaker tempting fate, questioning the path i take, showing me the twists and turns, the forks and points of no return. i would hold my breath so long to wash ashore where i belong. broken roses on the steps, like promises i never kept. promises i never made but ...
why do i worry, what do they think? what is she saying to them? i can't ignore anything. you're eating up my world like my every second was haunted. were you just like this since you were a girl, cause it's all i've ever wanted. i'm just like you, peel away the layers two by two. you're just like me, piling on the pressure three by three. we're almost done shutting out the voices one by one. w...
The Weight Is a Gift
Do you wake up and lie there And think it through? Is the weight of your own life Too much for you? But it all is a game You forgot to play You did Woke up an hour after the clock Remembered the details And wanted to stop The stakes in my life Are going so far up That my fingers are like Haven't you had enough But first I gotta find money I gotta get lunch Tell me something funny Coz I'm crack...
To make a mountain of your life Is just a choice But I never learned enough To listen to the voice that told me Always love Hate will get you every time Always love Don't wait til the finish line Slow demands come 'round Squeeze the air and keep the rest out It helps to write it down Even when you then cross it out But Always Love Hate will get you every time Always Love Even when you wanna fi...
I was about to change But you stayed the same Had pinned against the wall That we are pre-ordained If they gave you extra scenes You'd hit back to main Disappear by train Cut my signal chain Find a stable girl And fill it up again You can't foresee intent When the writer writes all bent Armies walk inside of me Armies walk physically Every day I steal a car That's how hard it is to Get away fr...
To hell with it I'm going to have a party I had the blankest year I saw life turn into a tv show The person I knew I didn't really know Time don't move We're the only ones who do Bending reason Coz it's all we hold on to And now it's lonely Thank god the band's doing well But you don't own me I'd like to return this spell It's not my size Your lies are so much bigger Than my lies And your ties...
Comes a time when You can't judge no more Go out shopping Can't see the store I can't believe that We're really all good One of us has gone Where they never should Comes a time when You really can't judge Should go walking You don't even budge I can't believe how Far we have gone One of us has not come along Get up and tell the sun That you don't feel love How long can you Keep circling round?...
The world's locked up in your head You've been pouring it a concrete bed Your habits ossify You don't realize you're fried To find someone you love You've gotta be someone you love The reason's somewhere in the din But it takes years 'til it sinks in You've used up the easy streets And you lost your taste for treats So fried Stay high if you have to Do whatever it asks you You've got another c...
Well I'd snap to attention If I thought that you knew the way I'd open my mouth If I had something smart to say I bought a stack of books I didn't read a thing It's like I'm sitting here Waiting for birds to sing Let's do it again Come on let's do it again Please let's do it again The hum of the clock Is a far-away place The azalea air holding your face You're lying down And the moon is sidewa...
Hey, calling all imaginary friends Today, don't want no-one To tell me how it ends Took breathing for granted And now I don't know how to breathe Something that you planted Just won't get up and leave Lenny Bruce's bug eyes Stare from an LP Asking me just what kind Of fight I've got in me I harbored some ambition To turn it up like that I already had roadblocks so Why'd you have to cheat? I'm ...
I look in the mirror To see what my hair is doing Is it kind of skywalker Or kind of stupid? But that's not the real Reason I'm looking I need a reminder of what I'm doing I need a reminder that I'm human In my dreams I love you like A snowstorm in the night The windows open wide Here comes reflected light We can keep the covers up We bet it all on luck But do dreams ever do damage to life?

So we walked and talked Then we sat and talked Said it was the truth But what is your secret? Dragged it on and on Even favorite songs but Your division's wrong What is your secret?

You said...
If you were here Baby we'd increase the dose There was no fear in my room When we got close Call me anytime You've got a ghost And you're the only person in the world I feel that way about And if you move off to the side I'll get swept back out Where it's cold but not that deep Coz your legs grow There's a light that rises up From the bottom of the lake And its beam has hit me hard Now I'm wid...
