When your faith in life is gone
Come and speak to me
When you're down and all messed up
Seek my sympathy
And everybody says no, no, no
Well it's your misfortune and none of my own
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Well it's, your misfortune that sweetens my song
I can be the friend you want
I can be your confidant
I can be the
right reminder at the right time
Throwing out the life line
Stand in the light, stand in the light, stand in the light (x2)
When your face is caked in mud
Come and speak to me
When the chill creeps in your blood
Seek my sympathy
When everybody say no, no, no
Well it's your misfortune and none of my own
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Well it's your mistfortune that sweetens my song
I can be the air you drink
Every single though you think
I can be the right notion in the mean time
Warm you like the sunshine
Oh, nectarine
You?re the one to coax the darkness out of me
Yeah, out of me
Oh, nectarine
You?re the one who showed the ghost to me
Don?t gaslight me
Oh, nectarine
Let?s run away from life and pass the can
Cash on demand
Oh, nectarine
Let?s burn and build and burn without a plan
Let?s ditch the van
Happiness is coming for you
Happiness is coming for you
When you sleep, when you?re dreaming
On your face what you?re feeling
Oh, nectarine
Are you free to lay the daylight out of me
Relentlessly?
Oh yes, I am
Yes, I truly am your true and trusted man
Please show me how to live
Please show me how to have a day
I don?t wanna wake up now
Why do I have to wake up, anyway?
Like a soap star in anguish, shrill but bland
When your white Lexus comes
Around the way idling in the long driveway
Try to feel nothing on command
When your white Lexus comes
The thrill be damned
I forgive the world right now
Still I play the chump?s role every time
My world?s the surface of the moon
My heart?s down in a diamond mine
Like the black stars of Memphis, moaning on
When your white Lexus comes to drive me out
Drive me to the edge of town
Try to feel nothing on command
When your white Lexus comes
The thrill be damned
Damn it to the last damned man
When your white Lexus comes
When your white Lexus comes
oh i could give a straight up goddamn
i could give you four or five of them
i got a thousand in my bank account
break it open let the goddamns walk out
all my traumas hinge upon
some convoluted axiom
of the cube of x plus y
equals itself divided by now
where have you gone?
i been to south of highland falls before
i am a waiter in a furniture store
i’m in demand and i’m unsure why
i get to roll with the flyest of the fly
all my limbs are sticks and lines
my head’s a point upon my spine, i can’t
get no quadrilateral
i can’t say half empty or half full now
and slapping at the angles of the shape you’re
left sleeve in velvet, right sleeve in sharkskin
all your laughs snapping like a dog bark
Boats moored in the water
The green waves are rolling at the shore
I love to see them reaching
I just wanna stay this joyous hour
Your sorrow is beautiful
To me tonight so cold and bright
And I, I don?t want to wait ?til Wednesday
So bright, so bright and cold this bitter long day
No se apoye contra la puerta
Beep Josh on Sunday
Charm him into driving in from Queens
Coming up the staircase
Bringing tiny envelopes for me
This night it is beautiful
The stars in flight so cold and bright
And I, I want to see my crush again, yeah
The magical correction
I dream the world speeds on, yeah
No se apoye contra la puerta
No se apoye contra la puerta
Maybe I?m a loser
Maybe I?m the unsuspecting lord
Maybe I?m a rapper
Maybe I?m just living by the sword
Your sorrow is beautiful
To me tonight so cold and bright
And I, I don?t want to wait ?til Wednesday
So bright, so bright and cold this bitter long day
No se apoye contra la puerta
No se apoye contra la puerta
No se apoye contra la puerta
Contra la puerta, contra la puerta
Contra la puerta, contra la puerta
Contra la puerta, contra la puerta
Saw you in the subway station
Shining with a strange light
Girl, you?re like a weird vacation
How am I gonna make you mine, make you mine?
Then I fell out on the streets
To write a love song
Your face stared out at me from an ad
On the bus stop wall
And I know that you?re fine
And that you?re right
And the moonlight shines
Like a luminous girl tonight
Saw you in the Shipwreck Disco
Ghostly drifting ?cross the floor
Wondering just where could this go
And how to get you out the door, out the door
Then I fell out on the streets
To write a love song
Your face stared out at me from an ad
On the bus stop wall
And I know that you?re fine
And that you?re right
And the moonlight shines
Like a luminous girl tonight, that's right
Shining with the lights going strong
Shining with the lights going strong on my own
Saw you in the morning sunshine
You sang 'Star Love In The Night'
Fighting all the tears that came on
Squinting in the yellow light, the yellow light
Then I met you at the station
In Ronkonkoma
Sweetly resonating
With the things you are
And I know that you?re fine
And that you?re right
And the moonlight shines
Like a luminous girl tonight
Yeah, Jesus Christ?s
Like a luminous girl tonight
Yeah, the moonlight shines
The best I ever did with my life
Said just three honest words to you
Three droplets in a pail of lies
Three gems among the alibis
Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are
The best I ever did with my love
Said your name on the microphone
You heard it at the restaurant
Cashed out and brought your tips on home
Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are
Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are
Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I are
Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I are
The best I ever did with my bucks
Put two down on your horse to show
She lost but just kept racing ?round
Kept running ?til the sun went down
Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are
Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are
Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I are
Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I are
Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I want to be your absolute ultimate
Want to be your only one now
Feel the wave come up from your sulkiness
Feel the rays you radiate now
Sweet and plain unsingable name
That rings in my mind now
That strums me like a string
Shine, unsingable name
Over everything
Beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and
Watch the breeze that snaps at you now
All the dogs that bark from the fences and
Everything is wanting for you
Smirk on the face and fists in the clenches and
Make the radiator blow now
Crack the planks and shatter the lenses and
Mix the salt, the sugar and flour
Slushing, sleeting through the blue gloom
Some long bells lonely ring
Chime, unsingable name
Over everything
I want to see the mountains in silhouette
Want to split for Singapore now
I want to see the mystery trees
Signal got lost to the satellite
Got lost in the, ride up to the plunge down
Man sends the ray of the electric light
Sends the impulse through the air down to home
And you can stand on the arms of the Williamsburg Bridge
Crying hey man, well this is Babylon
And you can fire out on a bus to the outside world
Down to Louisiana you can take her with you
I've seen the rains of the real world slam forward on the plain
I've seen the Kansas of your sweet little myth
You've never seen it, no
I'm half sick on the drinks you mixed
Through your
True dreams, of Wichita
True dreams, of Wichita
Brooklyn like a sea in the asphalt stalks
Push out dead air from a parking garage
Where you stand with the keys and your cool hat of silence
Where you grip her love like a driver's license
I've seen you, fire up the gas in the engine valves
I've seen your hand turn saintly on the radio, dial
I've seen the airwaves pull your eyes towards heaven
Outside Topeka in the phone lines
Her good teeth smile was winding down
Engine sputters ghosts out of gasoline fumes
They say you had it, but you sold it
You didn't want it, no
I'm half drunk on babble you transmit
Through your
True dreams, of Wichita
True dreams, of Wichita
Punch it
I got uh, fed
I got uh, too much things on bounce uh my head
I got to burn 'em up
I got to burn 'em up now
I got to go, uptown uptown
I got a thing
I got a little bit pushed
got to stand on the corner and bellow for mush
I got a, bomb
I got a baby bomb bomb
got to stand, on the corner and bellow, for my friend Franz
I got a thing, I got to thing it
I got to thing--team
I got to run my side
True dreams, true dreams, true dreams, of Wichita
All them tremendous brunettes around.
Slow down, don't fuck with my high
I want to be left alone here with my monsters, and
Say, now it's time to ride
To see lovely girls and to not put the moves on them
Praise now the baby genius
She skips in the shade of the lonely sour apple tree
While she snaps on her gum
Her gleaming teeth bared and the shine that she shows to me
All of your ill-gotten gains
That you have whipped up to a rich foamy lather, girl;
Nameless gnaw of my pains
Gas station neon sign, orange and white
winks an eye and it whispers 'Goodnight'
drunk on the train to Chicago, I feel alright
half-pint of dewar's white label still half full
the train lurches left, lurches right
drunk on the train to Chicago, I feel alright
I left a New York
of gas bills and cigarette burns
wasted days of whiskey
and as the world turns
Train driver, hit the gas, shovel coal, move your ass
we've got a schedule to keep
drunk on the train to Chicago, I fall asleep
And in my dreams, we're careening drunk
down the streets of my hometown
the man in the moon is on benzedrine
and everybody's spinning round
Bells ring and lights flicker
old girlfriends, good liquor
hold my hand all through the night
drunk on the train to Chicago,
I feel alright
Everything is going up.
Everything is going as planned, yeah.
Everything moves along.
Everything is fine, fine, fine.
Oh I could be
Condemned to Hell for every sin but littering.
I could
Slip on the East River and crash into Queens all skittering.
I've seen the
Cops and the robbers, and I know they dance the same.
I've seen a
Half a zillion girls and haven't spoken to a single one of them.
Everything is going up.
Everything is going as planned, yeah.
Everything moves along.
Everything is fine, fine, fine.
Oh I could be
Condemned to Hell for every sin but littering.
I could
Slip on the East River and crash into Queens all skittering.
I've seen the
Cops and the robbers, and I know they dance the same.
I've seen a
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
On a warm summers evenin on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin out the window at the darkness
til boredom overcame us, and he began to speak.
He said, son, Ive made a life out of readin peoples faces,
And knowin what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you dont mind my sayin, I can see youre out of aces.
And if you're gonna play the game, boy, you've got to learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
Now evry gambler knows that the secret to survivin
Is knowin what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
cause evry hands a winner and evry hands a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.
So when hed finished speakin, he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count you r money when youre sittin at the table.
Yeah
The dark is dropping like a spot
Of black ink squeezed into a glass of water
And now the crowds are thinning out
Into the light down in the subway station
Here this train speeds underground
This train speeds under the river
And I will drift back to the slope
Some face unlit there, stuck into the incline
Where I will sleep off all the noise
The soot accumulated all my trials
Here this train speeds underground
This train speeds under the river
And I thank you Lord Almighty up above
Just for sending out the F train to me
So thankful for all the unspent love
That I save up in the jar of money
Your Polaroid is on the wall
Stuck in the crack between the door and door-frame
Trapped in the middle of some laugh
Some drunken joke some friend of Yours was telling
Here this train speeds underground
This train speeds under the river
And I thank you Lord Almighty up above
Just for sending out the F train to me
So thankful for all the unspent love
That I save up in the jar of money
That I save up in the jar of money
That I save up in the jar of money
That I save up in the jar of money
That I save up in the jar of money
Oh, I have felt Cobain's sarcoma growing on
This will of mine drag me down into the water
The joy I feel before I drown
And the Lord's hand moves on the scheme of my nerves
In the chemicals swimming and the substance of the earth
His love's so great but the soul singers spurn him
To sing their love to some unknown reckless girl
They sing to great Queen Heroina
The comfort that she warms them with
Their music swells with all their yearning
They are ashamed to sing for him
Who has built these shells that our spirits knock inside
And weep for their release in the onrush of the tide
Of the Lord's great seas that will boil when he returns
To pluck us off the face of this sad and dirty world
I saw Sam Cooke and Ian Curtis
At the door of His golden realm
They sang His name, sweet Lord in Heaven
Sunken-eyed girl in the sandwich shop
Ladle my soup from the kettle pot, so
Swoony my self with the smolder looks
Parsin' that gaze for the right intention
Sunken-eyed girl don?t let me go
You?re the whole world and you barely know so
You are the drinks, I drink and keep drinkin' and
Fall down stumble
All of the things I think and keep thinking and
Lay down tremble
All, these tears are bound to fall
Sunken-eyed girl on the Ludlow Street
Junkie land once but they swept it up, so
Sing in my mind, singin' you?re so sweet
I need a bundle of dope just to numb it out 'cause I?m
Feelin' so good that it hurts my skin
Feelin' so good I could do myself in
You are the drinks, I drink and keep drinkin' and
Lay down tremble
All of the blinks, I blink and keep blinkin' and
Fall down stumble
All, these tears are bound to fall
No prize for you
No trophy too
Keep walkin' through
And I?m
Not worth a dime
I?ll drag you down
Don?t waste your time
Sunken-eyed girl on Delancey Street
Bulletproof glass in the KFC
So keep the man safe in his paper hat
Keep the wrong hands off the biscuit fortune
Sunken-eyed girl don?t let me go
You?re the whole world and you barely know so
No prize for you
No trophy too
Keep walkin' through
And I?m
Not worth a dime
I?ll drag you down
Don?t waste your time
And I?m
No prize for you
No trophy too
Keep walkin' through
And I?m
Not worth a dime
I?ll drag you down
Don?t waste your time
Sunken-eyed girl in the sandwich shop
Ladle my soup from the kettle pot, so
Swoony my self with the smolder looks
Oh, I will not be undersold
The grip is tight, the hand is cold
Like money thrown upon the sea
I hope my love swims back to me
And I can?t save nobody
I can?t save nobody
Save nobody
I was shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
There?s a car down on the lot
Smarter than the car I got
There I am inside the trunk
Water slowly boils to funk
And I can?t save nobody
I can?t save nobody
Save nobody
I was shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
I was shunned and falsified
I was shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
Shunned and falsified
Your back curves like a creeping vine
With the answers in the fluid in the stem of the spine, yeah
In the black-coffee bowl of your eye
Why do you overestimate the size of the lie?
I've seen the dangers of your rising sign
But I swear I'd like to drink the fuel straight from your lighter
It's all inside the wrist, it's all inside the way you time it
I resent the way you make me like myself
My nerves jump like a boiling pan
Like a skillet full of oil spits rattling on the burner
When I stumble onto the thought
Of the match you lit and dropped and set the dial to slow yearn
I've seen the dangers of your rising sign
But I swear I'd like to drink the fuel straight from your lighter
It's all inside the wrist, it's all inside the way you time it
I resent the way you make me like myself
Can I spell it out?
Ah, can I spell it out?
I've seen the dangers of your rising sign
But I swear I'd like to drink the fuel straight from your lighter
It's all inside the wrist, it's all inside the way you time it
I resent the way you make me like myself
(Vs.1)
We are lovers true and through and though
we made it through the storm
I realy want you to realize
I realy want to put you on
I've been searching for someone to
satisfy my every need
won't you be my inspiration,
be the real love that I need
(Chorus)
Real love. I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love. I'm searching for a real love
(Vs.2)
Oooh, when I met you I just knew that
you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me
you said I'm not the one
So I slowly came to see
all of the things that you were made of
and now I hope my dreams and inspirations
lead me to want some real love
(Chorus) 1x
(Bridge)
I got to have a real love
Loves so true and oh baby
I thought that love was you
I thought you were the answer to
the question in my mind
but it seems that I was wrong
if I stay strong maybe I'll find my real love
(Vs.3)
So I try my best and pray to God
he'll send me someone real
to caress me and to guide me twards
a love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful
I can be your all in all
I'll give you good luvin' though the summertime,
winter, spring, and fall
(Chorus) 2x's
(During 3rd chorus)
You see I'm searching for a real love
and I don't know where to go
Been around the world and high and low
and still I'll never know
how it feels to have a real love
'cause it seems it's not around
gotta end it in this way because it
seems he can't be found
Heart of my heart, got to leave you today
You don?t love me and you can?t understand
Cut by the thorns, oh, I must loosen my grip
Got to let your flower fall from my hand
Down, put it, put it down
Put it down, down, put it down, down, put it down
Go, let it, let it go
Let it go, go, let it go, go, let it go
Mail, drop it in the mail
Drop it in the mail, drop it in the mail
Drop it in the sauce, bottle up the sauce
Bottle up the sauce, bottle up the sauce

Love of all loves, you have made a mistake
Only saw the flaws and now you regret
My mind?s aggrieved and my belly?s ablaze
I have swallowed all the words that you said
Down, put it, put it down
Put it down, down, put it down, down, put it down
Go, let it, let it go
Let it go, go, let it go, go, let it go
Mail, drop it in the mail
Drop it in the mail, drop it in the mail

Here she comes all low to the ground
Just like the fog is a fattened cloud
Air it turns to water when
Dioxide tempts the hydrogen
Why do you seek?
Why do you seek the pink life?
How do you sleep?
How do you ever lie down?
Why do you need?
Why do you need your science?
Why am I
Your only outside line?
Who was that junk mustapha you were chilling with
Down in the bars where regretful girls drift
I feel the need to steal some rest
I feel i?m getting killed by your fickleness
And the options they are infinite
And the chance
From my hand
I feel is slipping it
Why do you seek?
Why do you seek the pink life?
How do you sleep?
How do you ever lie down?
Why do you need?
Why do you need your science?
Why am I
Your only outside line?
And the options they are infinite
And the chance
From my hand
I feel is slipping it
Why do you seek?
Why do you seek the pink life?
How do you sleep?
How do you ever lie down?
Why do you need?
Why do you need your science?
Why am I
Put my faith in the price of mud
And my Lord shall match the pounds
Ten thousand days and a night spelunking
Kill my years in the lightning round, confound it
Why not seek Ossining
These threes and foursomes abounded?
Why not seek Ossining
This time around?
Why not seek Ossining
These threes and foursomes abounded?
Why not seek Ossining
This time around?
Why not seek Ossining
This time around?
No, not a maze, but like blazed-out inner star
Disclosed completely in a plain film canister
Why not seek Ossining
These threes and foursomes abounded?
Why not seek Ossining
This time around?
Why not seek Ossining
This time around?
Put my faith in the price of mud
And my Lord shall match the pounds
Ten thousand days and a night spelunking
Kill my years in the lightning round, confound it
Why not seek Ossining
These threes and foursomes abounded?
Why not seek Ossining
This time around?
Why not seek Ossining
Upon the rails among the weeds
I had a moment of serenity
I saw you stand in all the green
Upon the rusting rail balancing
You were the only answer
My plans spun all around you
Five years in the wrong, I am assured
My name to you is just another word
In your bed in Morristown
You had magazines thrown around
From under them the phone it rang
And in the margin there you wrote the number down
You were the only answer
My plans spun all around you
Five years in the wrong, I am assured
My name to you is just another word, another word, another word
The only answer, another word
The only answer
The only answer
Ice cracking, fickle junkie
Your girl calls
Where have you been last night?
Lover boy, where you been hiding?
No peace, Los Angeles
No peace, Los Angeles
Coming down, Wilshire Boulevard
Blurry stream of light
Radio, road sign and you are more awake
Than is possible
No peace, Los Angeles
No peace, Los Angeles
And the true dope on salvation is
Two weeks in a clinic and a public testimonial
You tell them kids, tell them not to hurt themselves
Speeding fast from who you are
No peace, Los Angeles
No peace, Los Angeles
Do this for the remembrance of me
Do this for the remembrance of me
Do this for the remembrance of me
Live on the fat man?s dime
Stevedores bear the chair you ride
Show mercy girl, show the ghost to me
Your ornaments and gimcrackery

Navigating by the stars at night, na, na, na
Navigating by the stars at night

You made your bones in these dicty ?burbs
Gritty days, they mocked the words you slurred
Lemonade gulped on balconies
Giggling strange birds in the trees
Navigating by the stars at night
Navigating by the stars at night, na, na, na
Navigating by the stars at night
Navigating by the stars at night

Medicating in a minivan, ma, ma, ma, ma

Roll the road alone, roll the road alone
The road alone, the road alone
Well your man won't dance, but I will.
He's just a cup of punch that you'll spill.
You gonna hang him from the sails of a sinking sloop.
Crowded with the goons and the dopes you dupe.
You get na na nothing,
I found out that I'm a chump,
And you were cold cold hearted to me.
You got la la lucky that I told you what I did and you're so so sorry,
But not the way you want.
You're gettin na na na na na na nothing from me.
Na na nothing from me.
I was in flux, I was a clunker, I was busted cruft.
I was the swellest of the swells in the roughest rough.
Now I'm bound to the bend of your bone-white wrist.
Shun the pill popper, love the pharmacist.
You get na na nothing,
I found out that I'm a chump,
And you were cold cold hearted to me.
You got la la lucky that I told you what I did and you're so so sorry,
But not the way you want.
You're gettin na na na na na na nothing from me.
Na na nothing from me.
You get na na nothing,

Bloom like the sunlight in my song
Dum dumb, dum dumb, dum

Lead the world by smarts and compassion
By example, not coercion, force and fear
Dum dumb, dum dumb, dum

Move on, move on, dum dumb
Dum dumb, dum, dum dumb, bay
Ads for the army on cable
Between ads for soda and skin cream

Do you really love them as you claim?

When all the limbs are numb and clean,
And you're in transit, dream to dream,
I'll drift there to meet you, lazybones.
When all the world has lain and sank,
And money sleeps inside the banks,
Well I'll be there to meet you, layzbones.
Lazybones
Cameraman sways to remember how the eye dances,
Drunkenness is a hand-held
scrambling down Delancey
I come stumbling;
Well I hear you had to take a shine
and firing at random, I hear the rays fell upon mine.
Cool you, Miss Amaze, with a handful of water
trucks encircling, bearing down, coming louder.
If I could stay here, under your idle caress
and not exit to the world and phoniness and people.
Lazybones
Lazybones
When all the noise has left your head
will someday you rise off the bed?
I'll be there to lift you, lazybones.
Lazybones
Lazybones

Madeline, Madeline
Madeline and nine and nine...
Call me back when the war is over
Call me back when your boyfriends gone
I'm aware of your oscillations
Don't believe I'm the only one
Slave to the inside light
my world is burning on eternally
for the fire I lack
the flame is feeling fine
Madeline, Madeline
Madeline and nine and nine...
Give my eyes just for your intentions
Risk my back to impress you now
I'm so joyful that I have found you
All's I need's is to see you now
Slain by the words I lack
My world is bursting sappy music and
With the face so sad I long to make you mineSlave to the inside light
my world is burning on eternally
for the fire I lack
the flame is feeling fine
Madeline, Madeline
You say you don't look at me
I say you don't look so good.
I went out in the cold to buy a paper
Pushing every button in the elevator.
But I know I got my looks
and you got yours.
Must have learned them
from a million stars.
Oh looks,
Oh man.
Oh looks,
Oh man.
I get 'em on the bus
and I get 'em on the streets
and I get 'em from you.
Always looking for a reason
looking for a cure.
What can i do?
I'm just so tired of you.
And I wish the lights would dim
'cause I can see what this is leading to
and it looks real grim.
But I know I got my looks
and you got yours.
Guess you just weren't
What I was looking for.
Oh looks,
Oh man.
Oh looks,
Oh man
I get 'em on the bus
and i get 'em on the street

Always looking for a reason
looking for a cure.

That Cuban girl that brought me low
She had that skin so fine and red lips rose-like now
Her mouth was wide and sweet as well
And now relentless hours of dreaming up her smell
I feel as if I am looking at the world from the bottom of a well
I feel as if I am looking at the world from the bottom of a well

Oh all the days that I have run
I sought to lose that cloud that?s blacking out the sun
My train will come, some one day soon
And when it comes I?ll ride it bound from night to noon
I feel as if I am looking at the world from the bottom of a well
I feel as if I am looking at the world from the bottom of a well
Aimless days, uncool ways of decathecting
Painless phase, blacked out thoughts, you'll be rejecting

Head down, in the rain don't you think I want you to?
Let's play telephone, I'm the rubber, you're the glue
Drop this flattened blossom in an envelope and send it to you
To fight this, the language barrier
To fight this, the language barrier
Hey self-murderous, too much love has clogged the world
It's all dirt and flesh digging through to find a pearl
Pluck it and seal it in a pouch, now dispatch it to you
To fight this, the language barrier
To fight this, the language barrier
Oh the lips they taste like freebase and the joints of freebase too
Mean while I'm inland with Saint Russell, sniffing airplane glue
I hope somebody loves me when all of this is through
When all of this is through, when all of this is
Head down in the rain, don't you think I want you to
Head down in the rain, don't you think I want you to
Head down in the rain, don't you think I want you to
Thank you

I sing,
If you were the Baltic Sea and I were a cup(uh-huh)
Feric Street and I drove south,
With my hands on the wheel,
And your taste in my mouth,
Jesus to my left,
The Holland Tunnel on my right,
Angels shine down from the traffic light(light light light light light light)
Janine
I-I drink you up.

If you were the Baltic Sea and I were a cup(uh-huh)
*Talking*
And I fell asleep behind the blue light of the MOESHA
And as I drifted off,
I heard C.C. Deville say to me, "It was The House of Whores, but it became The House of Horrors."
*Singing*
Slap my safe to awaken,
But it's to late,
'cause the spell joined me out on my license plate.
SMILE-dont look so serious
SMILE

MOURN over your butterfly wings--wings

Scapegrace
Sordid and angular
Samshoo
Fill up the tumbler
Salpinx
Nah nah ca ne fait rien
Melodies won't
Scare the man
I'm still
Drinking in my dreams
Sailor, you have
Lost on the waves
Three doors, but you just
Hang out in the foyer
Long star
Shining my agita
Shame-faced
Banish to Waukesha
Speed-dial
All of the names I can
Recognize, but
Not recall
I'm still
Drinking in my dreams
He will
Not walk out of the river
Cold night
Feeling too stoned to shiver
We could be done
Waylaid
On the long road to heaven
Dopeman
Buzzing, quarter to seven
I'm still
Drinking in my dreams
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
Every last drop little bit
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
I wrote a song about your car
I wrote it with your hips in mind
Will you be my friend?
Will you be a friend of mine?
I wrote a song about your car
I wrote it strong and splendid and true
And all the feelings that I feel
I strive and yearn to feel them for you
And I'm giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
Every last drop little bit
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
Every last drop little bit
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
I walked up to the accident
And I chatted up the girl inside
Will you be my friend?
Will you be a friend of mine?
I wrote a song about your car
I wrote it fine and feckless and good
And all the days that I?m alive
I strive to understand, not to be understood
Dogged up by the rain
And at your door again seeking anything
I?m a roustabout
And I?m bound to roust you out
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
Every last drop little bit
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
Giving it up, don?t mind
Every last drop little bit
Giving it up, don?t mind

Frat boys gone to dogs
Brawling and sparring
Blue girl, dance for me
The empty floor and I think
I love your baby fat
Your crooked nose is where it?s at
And I assess the essence of the mess
The perfect hourglass of my loneliness, yes
And I don?t care to count my chances
I just want the girl in the blue dress to keep on dancing
What is this happiness?
It was not ever thus
I will prevail for you
Behind the mic I?m burning too
And yeah, I?m just a zip code man
I got my house and I?ll stay in if I can
But I don?t care to keep my fences
I just want the girl in the blue dress to keep on dancing
I assess the essence of the mess
The perfect hourglass of my happiness, yes
And I don?t care to count my chances
I just want the girl in the blue dress
I just want the girl in the blue dress
I just want the girl in the blue dress to keep on dancing
It will always be, the end of time
The end of law, the end of life
The dogs will howl and yank the leash
From tree to tree and from each to each
And does the man who makes the shoes own you, clown
You can?t even pry the nameplate off, now can you?
Fix it with your tiny fist there
James Van Der Beek and them sisters from sister, sister
The only one that?s ever felt this is you, the force that?s forcing you
To feel like busting up a Starbucks
Busting up a Starbucks
Busting up a Starbucks
Busting up a Starbucks
This bitter drink, has made you drunk
The thoughts you think become unthunk
The sea?s ablaze and the sky is too
The water?s red and the flames are blue
And does the man who makes the shoes own you, clown
You can?t even pry the nameplate off, now can you?
Fix it with your tiny fist there up
James Van Der Beek and them sisters from sister, sister
The only one that?s ever felt this is you, the force that?s forcing you
To feel like busting up a Starbucks
Busting up a Starbucks
Busting up a Starbucks
Busting up a Starbucks
Nyack!
Ronkonkoma!
East Orange!
Piscataway!
Busting up a Starbucks
Busting up a Starbucks
Busting up a Starbucks
I hear the bells down in the canyon
It?s snow in New York, some blue December
I?m gone to the moon about you, girl
And I?m calling to you throughout the world
And well I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
I hear the bells, they are like emeralds, and
Glints in the night, commas and ampersands
Your moony face, so inaccessible
Your inner mind, so inexpressible
I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant and
And I?m seeking girls in sales and marketing
Let?s go make out up in the balcony
Your business dress, so businesslike and I?m
Tossing the blouse over a chair-back and
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant and
You snooze, you lose, well I have snoozed and lost
I?m pushing through, I?ll disregard the cost
I hear the bells, so fascinating and
I?ll slug it out, I?m sick of waiting
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
And I can, now
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
And triumphant
And I can
Hear the bells are
Ringing joyful
I got the drop on you
But it was easy Japanesey
When I chase your lies in the light
Don?t you look so cutesy
Down in the basement
Where your captives scratch and they cry
Rattling the chains and where they long
To snap the bonds and abscond out to the night
I got the drop on you
?Cause I?m sharp-eyed and I?m shameless
Well, you knocks me out of your mind
No pity for the placeless
Sorry isn?t good enough
Sorry isn?t good enough
Sorry isn?t good enough
Sorry isn?t good enough
Sorry isn?t good enough
I got the drop on you
In the last frame of the picture
Well, I rode that I.R.T. out
No pity in the mixture
No pity in the mixture
Holiday (What Do You Want?)
Snow falls on the cars
Plows are stranded, so we're in the bars
Laughing and singing out
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want me to give you?
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want me to give you?
What do you want me to give you?
Hey, did you wish it was a holiday?
Hey, did you wish it was a holiday?
Snow falls on the streets
Strings of lights strung across the eaves
The kings and the ornaments
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want me to give you?
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want me to give you?
What do you want me to give you?
To give you
Hey, did you wish it was a holiday?
Hey, did you wish it was a holiday?
Snowflakes in your hair
Bells beat their blue wings through the air
You pulled on my sleeve and said,
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want me to give you?
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want me to give you?
What do you want me to give you?
To give you
Hey, did you wish it was a holiday?
Hey, did you wish it was a holiday?
They say that God is great
They say that God is love and I believe them
Don?t fear the random fate
I trust the hand of the Almighty and the infinite
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
Let me know your enormity
And my tininess
And help me see your infinity
And my finiteness
And I?m fucking starved for love
I deeply need to feel connection with the infinite
I want the nourishment
I need to drink it just like water, and it will sustain me
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
Let me know your enormity
And my tininess
And help me see your infinity
And my finiteness
My heart is yearning now
My arms are aching for some girl
Or other, didn?t want me
And still I need you more
Need you to soothe this searing sadness
And the nameless gnawing
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
Let me know your enormity
And my tininess
And help me see your infinity
Oh, in the grey
Grey ghost that I call home
In the grey
Stony lonesome I call home
In the grey
Grey ghost that I call home
In the grey, grey ghost that I call home
Oh, he will not
Walk out the river now
He will not walk out the river
He will not walk out the river, singing
Don?t fall through the stars
Don?t fall through them
Don?t fall through the stars
Don?t fall through them
On the docks in Memphis
With the boom box, nodding out, singing
Don?t fall through the stars
Don?t fall through them
Don?t fall through the stars
Don?t fall through them
Don?t fall through the stars
Oh, in the grey
Grey ghost that I call home
In the grey
Stony lonesome I call home
In the grey
Grey ghost that I call home
In the grey, grey ghost that I call home
In the trail of the barge
And the light upon the brine
He has staked these thoughts
And the force is undivided, singing
Don?t fall through the stars
Don?t fall through them
Don?t fall through the stars
Don?t fall through them
Sleepy-eyed, the man is wading
Out into the night, singing
Don?t fall through the stars
Don?t fall through them
Don?t fall through the stars
Don?t fall through them
Don?t fall through the stars
Embracing some hard-luck citizen
Disgraced like some strange Bob Balaban
And placing your heels down in the sand
In the grey
Grey ghost that I call home
In the grey
Stony lonesome I call home
In the grey
Grey ghost that I call home
In the grey, grey ghost that I call home
Oh, in the grey
Grey ghost that I call home
In the grey
Stony lonesome I call home
In the grey
Grey ghost that I call home
In the grey, grey ghost that I call home
In the grey, grey ghost that I call home
Sounds so wrong but I need to fake the will to get along
Feels alright when I drink to blur the day into the night
And blustery nights in through the rain
It's all alone that I am singing this anguish to you
And you're to blame, I'm still the same, I'm still the same
Sounds so wrong but I need to fake the will to get along
Feels alright when I drink to blur the day into the night
In lovely hour and in the room it's into bloom
That I have called your flower for me
And I'm to blame, you're still the same, you're still the same
Raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man
Up girl and be glad you were not born a man
Sounds so wrong but i need to fake the will to get along
Sounds so wrong but I need to fake the will to get along
And like a star that I have chosen for me
And I have placed one eye on the sky
The sky's the same, the moon's to blame, the moon's to blame
Raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man
Up man and be glad you were not born a god
Sounds so wrong but I need to fake the will to get along
Sounds so wrong but I need to fake the will to get along
Sounds so wrong but I need to fake the will to get along
There are many sad things,
Like a child drowning in a vat of molasses,
(How would a child end up in a vat of molasses?...)
Or if you were to lose the phone number of someone you find intriguing,
(I'm sure it's in the laundry...)
Or a phone that keeps ringing and ringing and ringing and no one will answer,
(???...)
Sad like a zero on the LED display of your answering machine,
(Saaaaad...That's a very melancholy numeral.)
Sad like a photograph of your grandfather at the age of twenty-seven,
But I believe, and I believe strongly,
(He's trying to make a point here...)
There is nothing sadder than
A frog plucking a banjo.
(Froooooooooogg...)
That's about as sad as you can be,
A frog plucking a banjo.
Let us contemplate the sadness,
(???...)
Of a banjo playing frog,
Let us examine the sadness,
It's extremely sad,
(When the banjo is plucked by the frog...)
Frog playing a banjo.
(Frog plucking a banjo...)
Is the frog aware that he is sad?
(I believe that he is aware...)
Well, I'm not so sure you're correct about that.
(Why is that?)
I really--don't--think a frog that plays a banjo is quite so self-aware.
(I beliiieeevvee...)
Is there anything quite so sad?
I'd rather watch movie stars get fat
I'd rather hang up the flag and be done with it
I'd rather keep the fire and the frenzy out of my mind
I'd rather take sides in an argument
I'd rather crank up the bass in a dark basement
I'd rather leave the mobs and the murder in a distant land
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
My vote's a bed and a football pool
Five on the red, six on the blue
Wake up fool, there's no time for a shouting match
I smell blood and there's no blood around
Blanked out eyes and a blanked out sound
I see them coming back motionless in an airport lounge
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
You should be getting stoned with a prom dress girl
You should still believe in an endless world
You should blast Young Jeezy with your friends in a parking lot
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
All of the girls out with their hips a sway
But I'm the loneliest man
They're selling incense and sunglasses on Orchard Street
Boatloads of bootleg Sean John
I'll dream you up in this vast, dark bed
Believe I loved you for each hair upon the back of your neck
And I want to kiss you but I can't
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Earrings weighing down the lobe and
Nose a lovely slope and the mouth turned down
Shoulders pale and beautiful and
Angle of the throat and your sweet sad stare
All of the waves that crash upon the shore
Fruitlessly shushing the world
I pledge allegiance to my displacement
My flag of doubt is unfurled
I'll dream you up on a vast, dark coast
Believe I see you walking toward me
Arms outstretched like a Ghost
And I want to kiss you but I can't
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Down on the river by the sugar plant
Down on the river by the sugar plant
