- All My Love
I wish that we were always high
I wish that we could swim in the sky
If we believe then we won’t fall
We’ll leave our lives and rise above it all
You never love when you never trust
It’s hard to love when all you embrace is dust
I’ll be the match that holds your fire
- America Loves the Minstrel Show
My life is a sham
I pretend that I'm me
My life is a sham
I pretend that I'm free
Wake up wake up
Its time for me to go
America Loves The Minstrel Show
- Can You Help Me
I tried to run away but I was frozen in place
My body was mad of sawdust and my heart just split
My old friend rigor mortis started to breathe in my face
The air started to drain out of my spirit
Help me, can you help me?
A century of my tears wouldn't even fill a thimble
The war of the class clown is never won
But nothing makes me laugh anymore
- Cape Canaveral
I should trade my heart in for a watch
'Cause all I do is watch the numbers slip away
My lips silently repeat the countdown
'Cause it's so hard to say
I always knew, I always knew that you would leave
Do you know where the hell we are
- Fearless
Lost again, lost again
I closed my eyes and kept on going
Now I'm gone and nothing's gonna endure
Unless I love you even more
Found again, am I found again
By your hands, my home is in your hands
But that's a touch I don't deserve anymore
- Gary's Song
Gary, tell me why the leaves on the trees
Are falling this early as the spring?
Why the leaves on the trees that are falling on us
Are like the words to the song
I've lived my whole life to sing
If you swim too much, you'll drown
- Hello Amsterdam
Hello amsterdam my name is fernando
Hello amsterdam I bet you've seen my kind before
Another sad tourist with his eyes rolling in his head
Another sad tourist who never had a drink before
Hello amsterdam you didn't like my waterloo
Hello amsterdam I wish I had something to offer you
Tail between my leg I crawl back to the canal
- I'll Be Gone
It was a long hot summer day
We're in the living room watching the light drain away
Hey you're too tired to read what your cards foretold inside of a yawn
When she said, "The first time you show me your true heart I'll be gone"
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
- Last Harbor
Some of them are kind and it's phony
Some of them are kind and it's okay
Generous but where's the charity
To lose or give away
Some of them smile and it's phony
Some of them smile and it's not
Some of them never tell you
- Love Is
Love is only a light in the sky
A shadow of a star flying by
We're so small compared to our hearts
We're so small compared to a lullaby
I didn't mean to make you cry
I'm sorry I made you cry
- The Hopes And Dreams Of Heaven's 10,000 Whores
When I spend too much time alone, I get afraid
Afraid that you're gonna leave me breathing
Afraid of what they'd throw in the way
In the way of something simple like leaving
- Wish The World Away
I don't need anybody's love, I couldn't afford it anyway
With my penny's worth of hope, that's not funny but it's a joke
And I got a good one for the collection agency
It's a wish that I could wish the world away, I could wish the world away
Don't watch TV, it's all lies, I watch TV day and night
I believe everything I see and I can't turn it off
The only thing that kept me together in the good old days
