- A Girl, a Boy, and a Graveyard
ooooh
oooooh
lucy takes the long way home
meets me in a field of stone
she says "i don't know how i'm s'pose to feel
my body's cold my guts are twisted steel."
- Beautiful Children
Warm house, cold hands
I was standing outside trying to find your doorbell
At 2 AM, I ran all the way hope that you weren't sleeping
You rubbed your eyes
Gently with the palm of your left hand
We talked awhile
And you told me how much you appreciated me
And I knew that it was time for me to stay or leave
- Franklin Avenue
daylight streaming on the face
but no 73547
sudden case of paralysis
just can't move my 46336
thunder crashing lighting flashing
raindrops in my hair
but it's not clearing out
better saty in bed
- John The Determinist
Polished up and standing in a row
Wind up the gears, watch them go
People made of spring and sparks
Humming with electric hearts
Hoping for a ghost inside the shell
But if it's there it's hidden well
All we are is ticks and tocks
- Knots
Black sweatband, sticks blur in her hands; she's the drummer
She weaves a beat through Kinks and Deep Purple covers
Can't shake her off
She keeps me tied in knots
I'm tangled from the inside out
Strung out and tired, a funeral-crier; I'm heartsick
- Lazy Bones
He plays all night then sleeps all day
Waves at the dawn
With a stretch and a yawn
He has to go to work at eight
But he might have a cough
So he's sleeping it off
Lazy bones
- Novocain
I used to be so young
But now I'm oh so beaten down
My friends are nowhere to be found
I find myself alone
I could have been someone
But now my name is a just a ghost
My reputation is a joke
- Repo Man
Fourteen years I was sober
And I worked hard for my pay
I left my tithe at the alter
I close my eyes when I pray
But I'm the repo man and nobody
Nobody, nobody weeps for me
Nobody weeps for me
- Snow Day
Snow Day
Act your age
Don't squirm around
Okay?
Get on the bus and someday
You'll be a scientist
Our little scientist
- Tatooine
Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know
Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know
There's room up there
For second chances
Singles are fine
- Welcome to Suburbia
Welcome to Suburbia
Welcome to the rest of life
There's no need to worry
No asking why
Never a sad day
We'll wipe those tears from your eyes
Welcome to the rest of your life
Life's been so unkind to you
