you stand now, on yourself
a little moon is coming in the room.
you stand there still
like you were in the arms of everyone you ever wanted.
i was watching you well.
i won't stop you; i won't speak.
the water on your cheek is the only thing smooth and
i'm ashamed that i'm ashamed of you
standing in my room, lest more water overtake you
and i was watching you, watching you well.
why won't you leave me quicker
why won't you leave me?
i'm ashamed that i'm ashamed of you
for standing in my room, lest more water overtake you
i won't stop you
and i won't speak.
why won't you leave me quicker?
You're cussing a storm in a cocktail d
ress your mother wore when she was young
Red sun saint around your neck
A wet martini in a paper cup
You're a wasp nest, you're a wasp nest.
Your eyes are broken bottles
And I'm afraid to ask
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
You're poison in the pretty glass
You're a wasp nest, you're a wasp nest
You're all humming live wires under your killing clothes.
Get over here, I wanna kiss your skinny throat
We look younger than we feel
and older than we are
now nobody's funny
no god, they took our fashion week
that's a real bad thing
cause we have scars to cover
now I forget how to think
so crack my skull
rearrange me
lover put me in your beautiful bed
and cover me
lover put me in your beautiful bed
Nothing made a sound in Williamstown that night
and all the air was empty
then what to my wondering eyes should appear
nothing, cause nothing ever happens here
now I forget how to think
so crack my skull
rearrange me
lover put me in your beautiful bed
and cover me
lover put me in your beautiful bed
nothing ever happened here
nothing ever happened here
Oh, well I just don't know
How you could go without permission
Cause where (well') if you're not there
Well I just don't care for this omission
Every moment brings me down when you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come back for just one day
So where did you go
And do you now know how to be happy
Cause here well it's pretty clear
When you're not near me I am unhappy
Every moment brings me down when you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come back for just one day
And make it worth the while just to see your smile
That's all I'm asking for
Oh I've come to know
You had to go without permission
Cause it was how, how I wore you down
And how I dragged you round my sole ambition
Every moment brings me down when you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come back for just one day
And make it worth the while just to see your smile
You had fun, but you couldn't get him out of the car
I guess mama's boy only go so far
You went in and put a record on
To make it sound like someone was home
And thanked yourself for pouring yourself a drink
Try to figure out and laugh yourself to the showers
Burn yourself alive and join the monster squad
They say in this place you can reinvent yourself
Well you've done it again, Virginia
Made another masterpiece while I was dreaming
How does it feel to feel like you?
Brilliant sugar, brilliant sugar, brilliant sugar, turn
over
A cool, tall, drink of water
is all you ever wanted to be
And if you had another wish to wish
you'd be fun and moving
But you can't talk to people, right'
You can't tell a story
You're tall, long legged
and your heart's full of liquor
And me and everybody are just ice in a glass
Try to figure out and laugh yourself to the showers
Burn yourself alive and join the monster squad
They say in this place you can reinvent yourself
Well you've done it again, Virginia
Made another masterpiece while I was dreaming
How does it feel to feel like you?
Brilliant sugar, brilliant sugar, brilliant sugar turn
She puts holes through the drift
Through the drift
She paints ceilings on stars
My lover builds drills (?)
She kisses my forehead
Then pays me to touch her
Then takes me to bed by the hand
Takes me to bed by the hand
My lover builds drills (?)
Warm singing whores
For government

No no advice
No commentary thank you
No advice
We know these days should be better than these days
We know these days should be better than these days
We know these days
She kisses the cops on the lips
And she takes them to Paris
And tucks them in
She takes them by the hand
And tucks them in
She begs me to touch her
She begs me to touch her
She dresse in rainbows
And curls over to me
My lover refuses to let me believe
That men will be me
From revenge to revenge
To revenge to revenge
Warm singing whores
For government
Warm singing whores
No no advice
No commentary thank you
No advice
We know these days should be better than these days
We know these days should be better than these days
We know these days
Leave your home
Change your name
Live alone
Eat your cake

Build a fire for Val Jester
Build a room for your love
Take your time when you tell her
How she lives in your blood
You should've looked after her better
You should've looked after her more
You should've locked the door
Fill her coat with weapons and help her get it on
Cuz one day when she goes, she's gone
You should've held on to her better
You should've held on to her more
You should've locked the door

ten years older than i was
what i brought you down to see,
what i thought would make you fall in love
wearing off on our dreams
someday man i'm gonna be no different than the other
rivers
i tried to look at you but i couldnt break the ice
you stood out there for an hour freezing
put your hand around my back
i guess you thought i needed that
i never try to find you
i hope you don't remember me
i hope your not alone
wanted me to take you home
you said you'd rather be alone
i never thought of that
car is warm and we had wine
but i couldn't find the perfect song
now our furniture for the one with crows feet and i
can't even remember the call
sometimes i can feel your weight when i close my eyes
seven times i was under you
i never try to find you
i hope you dont remember me
i hope your not alone
i don't wanna know what your thinking
i'm looking out the window
just fucking drinking
shallow frame and shaky sticks but i know there's a
river in me
shallow minded adult tricks but i know there's a river
We'll take ourselves out in the street
And wear the blood in our cheeks like red roses
We'll go from car to sleeping car and whisper in their sleeping ears
We were here, we were here, we'll set off the geese of Beverly road
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome
We won't be disappointed
We'll fight like girls for our place at the table
Our room on the floor
We'll set off the geese of Beverly road
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius

It's a terrible love
That I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking with
It's a terrible love
That I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking with
It's quiet company

It's a terrible love that I'm walking with
It's quiet company

And I can't fall asleep
Without a little help
It takes awhile
To settle down
My ship of hopes
Wait til the past leaks out
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
Company
It's quite a company
It's quiet company
But I won't follow you
Into the rabbit hole
I said I would
But then I saw
The ship of woes
They didn't want me to
It's a terrible love
And I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking here
It's a terrible love
That I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love that I'm walking here
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
Every time you get a drink
and every time you go to asleep
are those dreams inside you head
is there sunlight on your bed
and every time you're driving home
way outside your safety zone
wherever you will ever be
you're never getting rid of me
you own me
there's nothing you can do
you own me
you coulda made a safer bet
but what you break is what you get
you wake up in the bed you make
I think you made a big mistake
you own me
there's nothing you can do
you own me

there's nothing you can do
you clean yourself to meet
the man who isn't me
you're putting on a shirt
a shirt I'll never see
the letter's in your coat
but no one's in your head
cause you're too smart to remember
you're too smart
Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears
Don't ask questions, you don't know your name
Something for everyone, try to win prizes
Stay young and quiet
Tall saint I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you
Bubbles to the chandelier

Sorrow found me when I was young
Sorrow waited, sorrow won
Sorrow they put me on the pill
It's in my honey, it's in my milk
Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
Cover me in rag and bone sympathy
'cos I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
Sorrow's my body on the waves
Sorrow's a girl inside my cake
I live in a city sorrow built
It's in my honey, it's in my milk
Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
Cover me in rag and bone sympathy
'cos I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you
Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
Cover me in rag and bone sympathy
'cos I don't wanna get over you
I know you're a serious lady
Living off a teacup full of cherries
Nobody knows where you are living
Nobody knows where you are
Take a bath and get high through an apple
Wanted to cry but you can't when your laughing
Nobody knows where you are living
Nobody knows where you are
You're so far around the bend
You're so far around the bend
I'll run through a thousand parties
I'll run through a million bars
Nobody knows where you are living
Nobody knows where you are
You've been humming and I think it's forever
Praying for pavement to get back together
Nobody knows where you are living
Nobody knows where you are
You're so far around the bend
You're so far around the bend
There is no leaving New York
There is no leaving New York
There is no leaving New York

We're out looking for astronauts
Looking for astronauts
We're out looking for astronauts
Looking for astronauts
It's a little too late, too late, too late for this
Isn't it a little too late for this?
Little too late, too late for this
Isn't it a little too late for this?
You know you have a permanent piece
Of my medium-sized American heart
We're out looking for astronauts
Looking for astronauts
We're out looking for astronauts
Looking for astronauts
Are we gone?
Come on yeah, we know we're gone
Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye, we know we're gone
Take all your reasons and take them away
To the middle of nowhere, and on your way home
Throw from your window
Your record collection
They all run together and never make sense
But that's how we like it, and that's all we want
Something to cry for
And something to hunt
Are we gone?
Come on yeah, we know we're gone
Bye bye bye
Bye bye bye, we know we're gone
We're out looking for astronauts

Little too late, too late for this
Isn't it a little too late for this?
You know you have a permanent piece
Of my medium-sized American heart
So don't wear the watch
When you're out with the cunts
You can break what you have
But the rest of it's mine
Take all your reasons and take them away
To the middle of nowhere, and on your way home
Throw from your window
Your record collection
They all run together and never make sense
But that's how we like it, and that's all we want
Something to cry for
Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch
Can?t pay attention to the sound of anyone
A little more stupid, a little more scared
Every minute, more unprepared
I made a mistake in my life today
Everything I love gets lost in the drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
Way out of sync from the beginning
I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God, I?m very, very frightened, I?ll overdo it
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
And not thinking of my dick?
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
From one side of it to the other
I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God, I?m very, very frightened, I?ll overdo it
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for, for twenty-nine years
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
Sit down dear we gotta talk
your acting like a kid
we don't wanna hear about
the things you never did
you coulda been a legend
but you became a father
that's what you are today

somewhere inside your head
haunted by the important
life you coulda lead
but your kisses aren't enough
to keep your kids in line

and give your baby time
cause if you don't give her what she needs
she'll get it where she can

Don't leave yourself alone for too many days
Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping
you'll end up talking to the ghost
of your wife as if you knew her
your eyes will put her everywhere
and spending all your time
somewhere inside your head
haunted by the important
life you coulda lead
you'll fuck yourself to clear your head
you'll close your door and go to bed
you'll try to sleep without a dream
that's where she finds you
that's where she finds you
Don't leave yourself alone for too many days
Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping
Dear we better get a drink in you
before you start to bore us
Dear we better get a drink in you
before you start to bore us
Dear we better get a drink in you
before you start to bore us
"Don't forget the alcohol oooh baby oooh baby ..."
wall street jumps in the hudson

I think this place is full of spies
I think they're onto me
Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you
Didn't anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in
a room
I know you put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses, I
know
And so and now I'm sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
And now I'm sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain
I think this place is full of spies
I think I'm ruined
Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you
Didn't anybody tell you, this river's full of lost
sharks
I know you put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses, I
know
And so and now I'm sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
And now I'm sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain
And now I'm sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way

I set a fire in a blackberry field
Make us laugh, or nothing will
I set a fire just to see what it kills
Now I'm stuck in New York
And the rain's coming down
I don't feel like we'll go anywhere
Stuck in New York
And the rain's coming down
Still in line for the vanity fair
Leave our red Southern souls
Head for the coast
Leave our red Southern souls
Everything goes
All our lonely kicks are getting harder to find
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody cries
All our lonely kicks that make us saintly and thin
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody wins
Awesome prince, get your sleep
Lose your heart in history
Make us laugh or nothing will
I set a fire just to see what it kills
Don't be bitter, Anna
I know how you think
You're waiting for Radio City to sink
You'll find commiseration in everyone's eyes
The storm will suck the pretty girls into the sky
All our lonely kicks are getting harder to find
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody cries
All our lonely kicks that make us saintly and thin
We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody wins
Leave our red Southern souls
Head for the coast
Leave our red Southern souls
There's no saving anything
Now we're swallowing the shine of the summer
There's no saving anything
How we swallow the sun
But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I wont be no runaway
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the
flood?
We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the
flood?
We got another thing coming undone
But I won't be no runaway

No I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway

We got another thing coming undone
We got another thing coming undone
And it's taking forever
I'll go braving everything
With you swallowing the shine of the summer
I'll go braving everything
Through the shine of the sun
But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
What makes you think im enjoying being led to the
flood?
We got another thing coming undone
And its taking us over
We dont bleed and we dont fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We dont bleed when we dont fight
Go ahead, go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire tonight

And its taking us over
I don't wanna reveal your wrist,
give the room to tie the other
Oh, Robyn de Sade, where do you go to drown?
Your sorrow Robyn, where do you go to drown?
Her kisses cover you like water,
all on up her like a festival
Oh Robyn de Sade, I want you to break me down
I?m keeping you in mind
For the rest of years, for the rest of years
In your watery eyes I?m gonna rest all day
In your watery eyes I?m gonna rest all day
In your watery eyes I?m gonna rest some day
In your watery eyes
Tell the saint I?m gonna be a little late
Drawing lines around the river for the rest of years
All in time, but you fade away from
All in time, but you fade away from me
They can?t see what I can see
Turned away from me
I can turn everything around
I can turn everything around
They can?t see what I can see
Turned away from me
I can turn everything around
I can turn everything around
I heard you in my sleep
For the rest of years, for the rest of years
So lonely, I?m trying to hear you
So lonely, I?m trying to hear you
So lonely, I?m trying to hear you
So lonely, I?m
All in time, but you fade away from
All in time, but you fade away from me love
They can?t see what I can see
Turned away from me
I can turn everything around
I can turn everything around
They can?t see what I can see
Turned away from me
I can turn everything around
I can turn everything around
They can?t see what I can see
Turned away from me
I can turn everything around
I can turn everything around
All in time, but you fade away from
All in time, but you fade away from
You?re pink, you?re young, you?re middle-class
They say it doesn?t matter
Fifteen blue shirts and womanly hands
You?re shooting up the ladder
Your mind is racing like a pro now
Oh my God, it doesn?t mean a lot to you
One time, you were a glowing young ruffian
Oh my God, it was a million years ago
Sometimes you get up and bake a cake or something
Sometimes you stay in bed
Sometimes you go, la, di, da, di, da, di, da, da
Till your eyes roll back into your head
Your mind is racing like a pro now
Oh my God, it doesn?t mean a lot to you
One time, you were a glowing young ruffian
Oh my God, it was a million years ago
You?re dumbstruck, baby
You?re dumbstruck, baby, now you know
You?re dumbstruck, baby
You?re dumbstruck, baby, now you know
Your mind is racing like a pro now
Oh my God, it doesn?t mean a lot to you
One time, you were a glowing young ruffian
Oh my God, it was a million years ago
You?re dumbstruck, baby
You?re dumbstruck, baby, now you know
You?re dumbstruck, baby
You?re dumbstruck, baby, now you know
Caroline laughs and
It's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place
In the side of our lives
Where nothing is
Ever put straight
She turns herself round
And she smiles and she says
'This is it'
'That's the end of the joke'
And loses herself
In her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk
Through in their coats
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
All of her lovers
All talk of her notes
And the flowers
That they never sent
And wasn't she easy
And isn't she
Pretty in pink
The one who insists
He was first in the line
Is the last to
Remember her name
He's walking around
In this dress
That she wore
She is gone
But the joke's the same
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
Caroline talks to you
Softly sometimes
She says
'I love you' and
'Too much'
She doesn't have anything
You want to steal
Well
Nothing you can touch
She waves
She buttons your shirt
The traffic
Is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She gives you her clothes
These cars collide
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
Pretty in pink
i thought i'd come to you
and your long lazy scene
instate direction, finger on a magazine.
i'd call you when i need you
i can't get used to your new name.
send a body double over with your keys
she'll see you in an hour
everybody quiet please.
essex house is down the road
the actors want to be alone.
your room is still and soft
as a jeweler's.
incidental music coming down the hall
remember when i never had to wait for you at all?
i wish my hands were yours as i lay your keys
on a magazine.
take me to LaGuardia
my baby's gonna pay for me.
bottle from the duty-free
i'll drink it all across the sea.
lay me down business class
headphones and a sleeping mask.
she's gonna pay for me
she's gonna pay for me.
brother, i wish you were home
just tell me you're not alone
call me back; i'm on a plane
i think i'm somewhere over spain.
i'm in the dark without the stars
i've never seen a black suit dark
thought i'd be above the rain
somewhere on a higher plane.
oh brother, i wish you were home
my brother, i wish you were home.
baby, you're asleep by now
you never stayed awake for me
you never waited up for me,
no, you never waited up for me!
now there's nothing i can do
i lost you but i beat the sound
couldn't if i wanted to
THE COGWHEEL DOESN'T TURN AROUND!
oh brother, i wish you were home
my baby is in a room alone.
Tonight there isn't any light under your door
I guess you must be somewhere breathing
where skin and everything still know what they are for
and blood remembers where to go
I fell in love with you no matter what you say
but you were right about the reasons
to turn a magdeline into the month of May
I shoulda known the magdeline was me
so I'm turning on the stereo
and I'm lining up the names
on the mixes I made before you
and I'm turning into fairytales
with glitter and some glue
everything we ever planned to ever do
tonight there isn't any light under your door
I guess you must be somewhere breathing
in patterns unfamiliar to the one you're underneath
I pinned those patterns in my coat
so I'm turning on the stereo
and I'm turning into fairytales
yes I'm turning on the stereo
I saw my love with pretty boy
I saw my love with pretty boy
murder me Rachael I made a mistake
I loved her to ribbons
loved her to ribbons
murder me Rachael I made a mistake
murder me Rachael
murder me Rachael
I saw my love with pretty boy
I saw my love with pretty boy
so say goodbye to pretty boy
just say goodbye to pretty boy
her pretty little ribbons

her pretty little ribbons
her pretty little name

never go away
I saw my love with pretty boy
I saw my love with pretty boy
so say goodbye to pretty boy
just say goodbye to pretty boy
tomorrow won't be pretty
tomorrow won't be pretty
love her to ribbons

This is nothing like it was in my room
In my best clothes
Trying to think of you
This is nothing like it was in my room
In my best clothes
The English are waiting
And I don't know what to do
In my best clothes
This is when I need you
The English are waiting
And I don't know what to do
In my best clothes
I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope
I'm the new blue blood
I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November
I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over
[repeat]
I wish that I believed in fate
I wish I didn't sleep so late
I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders
[repeat]
I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope
I'm the new blue blood
I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November
I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over
[repeat]
I wish that I believed in fate
I wish I didn't sleep so late
I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders
[repeat]
I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope
I'm the new blue blood
I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November
You have to do it running
But you do everything that they ask you to
'Cause you don?t mind seeing yourself in a picture
As long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night
Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under
Oh, you wouldn?t want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise, they wouldn?t wanna watch
Another un-innocent, elegant fall
Into the un-magnificent lives of adults
Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts
So you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves
So you swear, you just saw a feathery woman
Carry a blindfolded man through the trees
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night
Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under
Oh, you wouldn?t want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise, they wouldn?t wanna watch
Another un-innocent, elegant fall
Into the un-magnificent lives of adults
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night
Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under
Oh, you wouldn?t want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise, they wouldn?t wanna watch
Another un-innocent, elegant fall
You're pink, you're young, you're middle-class
15 blue shirts and womanly hands
OK, it doesn't matter
But you should have seen me shoot up the ladder
You're miles behind your sister, la di da
You're miles behind your sister
Minor star of Rome
Your mind is racing like a pro
Not like when you were a kid a million years ago
It's a pity, but it comes with the uniform
You were wrong, you just couldn't admit it
But you didn't know how to do it, and everybody knew it
So you kicked yourself into the street
You could have been the skinny boy in the back seat
You're miles behind your sister, la di da
You're miles behind your sister
Minor star of Rome
Now sometimes you get up, sometimes you bake a cake or
something
Sometimes you go la da di da da da di da all day in bed
Sometimes your eyes roll back into your head
Now you're having other people's dreams
And they're really good
But you wake up just before they end
You never finish anything
You're miles behind your sister [x3]
My bodyguard shows her revolver to anyone who asks
And yeah she comes to attention when you come up to me
too fast
For a little while you'll be here, the only good part
of me
For a little while you'll be here
So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
I try to untie Manhattan
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright
I try to untie
You wear skirt like a flag
And everything surrounds you, and it doesn't fade
Nothing like this sound I make
That only lasts the season
And only heard by bedroom kids who buy for that reason
Cuz you're the low life of the party, bad blood
Bad blood for everybody
I'm in control and I believe
So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
I try to untie Manhattan
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright
I try to untie from your bad blood
From your bad blood
Cuz you're the low life of the party, bad blood
Bad blood for everybody
I'm in control and I believe
So lit up, lit up, lit up, lit up alright
I try to untie Manhattan
Lit up, lit up, lit up, lit up alright
So happy I was invited
Give me a reason to get out of the city
See you inside watching swarms on TV
Livin' and dyin' in New York it means nothing to me
I gave my heart to the Army
The only sentimental thing I could think of
With cousins and cousins somewhere overseas
But it'll take a better war to kill a college man like
I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway right now
Do you care if I stay?
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find somethin' on this thing that means
nothin' enough
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
This pricey stuff makes me dizzy
I guess I've always been a delicate man
Takes me a day to remember a day
I didn't mean to let it get so far out of hand
I was a comfortable kid
But I don't think about it much anymore
Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth
And we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture
party
I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway right now
Do you care if I stay?
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find something on this thing that means
nothin' enough
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
Losin' my breath
I was home entertaining some guests when I,
fell off the chair and cracked open my head.
Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts and they,
cracked open the window and in came the ,
I was home entertaining some guests when I,
Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts because
they wanted,
to travel the world.
These are the kinds of things we should worry about.
These are the kinds of things we should worry about.
But I keep it upstairs,
I keep it upstairs.
I just keep it upstairs,
I keep it upstairs.
I was out looking in cars practicing smiles
for the grand finale.
I got all day
in Cadillac city.
I got all day
in Cadillac city.
I was out walking,looking at posters,
someone famous to kidnap and love.
But I keep it upstairs,
I keep it upstairs.
I just keep it upstairs,

My head is a three-star hotel, oh no,
I might be missing something.
My head is a three-star hotel, oh no,
killers are calling on me.
My head is a three-star hotel, oh no,
feathers are falling on my feet.

Karen, I'm not taking sides
I don't think I'll ever do that again
I'll end up winning and I won't know why
I'm really trying to shine here, I'm really trying
You're changing clothes and closing windows on me all
the time
Well, whatever you do, listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Whatever you do
Listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone
Karen, we should call your father, maybe it's just a
phase
He'll know the trick to get a wayward soul to change
his ways
It's a common fetish for a doting man
to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand
Well, whatever you do
Listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Whatever you do
Listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone
Without warm water in my head
All I see is black and white and red
I feel mechanical and thin
Hear me play my violin again
I'm living in the target's shoes
All I see is black and white and blue.
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
Protect the title
Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink
I've lost direction, and I'm past my peak
I'm telling you this isn't me
No, this isn't me
Karen, believe me, you just haven't seen my good side
Well, whatever you do
Listen. you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone into America
Whatever you do
Listen, you better wait for me
No, I wouldn't go out alone
Without warm water in my head
All I see is black and white and red
I feel mechanical and thin
Hear me play my violin again
I'm living in the target's shoes
All I see is black and white and blue
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
Protect the title
I must be me, I'm in my head
Black birds are circling my bed
I must be me, I must be me
Black feathers are falling on my feet
Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest
Protect the title
i wanted to show you john's star
and lay down with you in strawberry fields.
you said, "you're gonna lay down here;
you're gonna lay down alone."
i thought i told you i was ruined by the stones.
i don't ever want you to come home again
i don't want to hear your call, your voice in my room.
i am divine; my arms are stronger than rivers
and when you feel that way, you want to feel that way
again.
forever.
once ruined, baby you stay ruined
yeah, once ruined, baby you stay ruined.
anything is beautiful and i blame you
i woke up in your sheets of rain
and everything you touch around here,
you leave a stain.
once ruined, baby you stay ruined.
i am good, i am grounded
davy says that i look taller
i can't get my head around it
i keep feeling smaller and smaller
i need my girl
i need my girl
remember when you lost your shit and
drove the car into the garden
and you got out and said i'm sorry
to the vines and no one saw it
i need my girl
i need my girl
i'm under the gun again
i know i was the 45% of then
i know i was a lot of things
but i am good, i am grounded
davy says that i look taller
i can't get my head around it
i keep feeling smaller and smaller
i need my girl
i need my girl
there's some things that i should never
laugh about in front of family
in a week we'll be together
try to call you when i'm landed
i need my girl
i need my girl
remember when you said i'm sorry
to the vines and no one saw it
i'll try to call you from the party
it's full of punks and cannonballers
i need my girl
i need my girl
i'm under the gun again
i know i was the 45% of then
i know i was a lot of things
but i am good, i am grounded
davy says that i look taller
i can't get my head around it
i keep feeling smaller and smaller
i need my girl
i keep feeling smaller and smaller
i need my girl
I don't mind losing a girl to herself
A quiet love is better than none
And I don't mind losing a friend to a friend
If only to be a reasonable man
And I don't mind waiting if it's for the best
A careful heart is better than none
I don't mind painting my back with the past
Pictures in resolute pain
Smoothing the laugh o'er the lane
But if it happens to you
The same kind of deal
I recommend fire
Instead of the fool
I don't mind shaking your hand at the door
If only to be a resolute man (Pictures in resolute
pain)
If only to be a resolute man
If only to be a resolute man
But if it happens to you
The same kind of deal
I recommend fire
Instead of the fool
I don't mind shaking your hand at the door
If only to be a resolute man (Pictures in resolute
pain)
If only to be a resolute man
If only to be a resolute man
If only to be a reasonable man
Take your time, use a year
That should cover what I owe you
and some things that you will never know
I wear your clothes til you come home
You'll know me by the way I'm dressed
and now they seem to fit me, better than my own
I give to you the safe side of the (cup?)
but I am tall as high beams, shine up my back
and I am straight as briars, come bending past
Just look for branches tied in bows, 'cause I love you
to ribbons
and you can take them with you as you go
I took the hairpins from your head
and tried to ask them why they led you
to believe that you should live alone
I give to you the safe side of the cup
but I am as tall as high beams, shine up my back
and I am straight as briars, come bending past
Take my brothers' (pistol?) put it in your bag
take my winter jacket and put it in your bag
Take my brothers' (pistol?) put it in your bag
take my winter jacket and put in your bag
I give to you the safe side
I give to you the safe side
I give to you the safe side of the cup
But I am tall as high beams, shine up my back
and I am straight as briars, come bending past
you (go?) shine it on (these?)
you (go?) shine it on (these?)
They?re gonna send us to prison for jerks
For having vague ideas of the way to turn each other on again
They?re gonna send us to prison for jerks
They?ll find us here, here, here in the guest room
Where we throw money at each other and cry, oh my
We miss being ruffians, going wild and bright
In the corners of front yards, getting in and out of cars
We miss being deviants
They?ll find us here, here, here in the guest room
Where we throw money at each other and cry, oh my
We can?t stay here
We?re starting to stay the same
We can?t stay here
We can?t stay this way
Just tie your woman to your wrist
Give her room to tie the other
They?ll find us here, here, here in the guest room
Falling out of touch with all
My friends are somewhere, getting wasted
Hope they?re staying glued together
I have arms for them
Take another sip of them
It floats around and takes me over
Like a little drop of ink
In a glass of water
Get inside their clothes with my green gloves
Watch their videos in their chairs
Get inside their beds with my green gloves
Get inside their heads, love their loves
Cinderella through the room
I glide and swan
'Cause I?m the best slow dancer
In the universe
Falling out of touch with all
My friends are somewhere, getting wasted
Hope they?re staying glued together
I have arms for them
Get inside their clothes with my green gloves
Watch their videos in their chairs
Get inside their beds with my green gloves
Get inside their heads, love their loves
Now I hardly know them
And I?ll take my time
I?ll carry them over
And I?ll make them mine
Get inside their clothes with my green gloves
Watch their videos in their chairs
Get inside their beds with my green gloves
