- A Shot In The Arm
The ashtray says you were up all night
When you went to bed with your darkest mind
Your pillow wept and covered your eyes
And you finally slept while the sun caught fire
You've changed
We fell in love in the key of C
- Art of Almost
I can't be so far away from my wasteland
I'll never know when I might ambulance
or hoist their hearts with my own hands
Almost... almost...
I heard a faint old age lover
I had other ways to help myself
By calling out, open up my heart and fall
- At My Window Sad and Lonely
At my window sad and lonely,
Oft times do I think of thee
Sad and lonely and I wonder
Do you ever think of me?
Every day is sad and lonely
Every night is sad and blue
Do you ever think of me my darling
- Black Moon
I was always right
About the morning
Okay, I'm an old shoe
Danced above the blaze
Never stopped crawling
Over the black dunes
- Blue Eyed Soul
You've got a blue-eyed soul,
And if you don't let it show,
It'll leave you, you won't even know,
Without your blue-eyed soul
Can you keep it simple? Can you let the snare crack?
Can you let it move without holding back?
Are you afraid to let it go,
- Born Alone
I have heard the war and worry of the gospel
Ferried fast across the void
I have married broken spoke charging smoke wheels
Spit and swallowed opioid
I am the driver at the wheel of the horror
Marching circles at the gate
Mine eyes have seen
The fury so flattered by fate
- California Stars
I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd love to feel
Your hand touching mine
And tell me why
- Capitol City
Capitol city, skyline photo
Skyscrapers shine, the sun's so
Low in the sky
Secretaries at the hot dog vendors
Cabs honk at the bicycle messengers
Rolling by
I can't call with a subway token
Anyway, the phones are all broken
- Dawned on Me
I been young, I been old
I been hurt and consoled
Heart of cold, heart of gold - so I'm told
I been lost, I been found
I been taken by the sound of my own voice
Voices in my head
[Hook]
- Either Way
Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will blow away
Maybe I won't feel so afraid
I will try to understand
Either way
Maybe you still love me
Maybe you don't
- ELT
I, I should've been listening
To every word you said
Oh, what have I been missing
Wishing, wishing that you were dead
I didn't mean to be so disturbing
So far from home
Oh, what have I been learning
- Far, Far Away
Far, far away from those city lights
Might be shining on you tonight
Far, far away from you
On the dark side of the moon
I long to hold you in my arms and sway
Kiss and ride on the CTA
I need to see you tonight
And those bright lights
- Hate It Here
I try to stay busy
I do the dishes, I mow the lawn
I try to keep myself occupied
Even though I know you're not coming home
I try to keep the house nice and neat
I make my bed I change the sheets
I even learned how to use the washing machine
- Heavy Metal Drummer
Oh I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands
I used to go see on the landing in the summer
She fell in love with the drummer
She fell in love with the drummer
She fell in love
Shiny shiny pants and bleached blond hair
A double kick drum by the river in the summer
- Hotel Arizona
Hotel in Arizona
Made us all want to feel like stars
Rental cars with tinted windows
Leave another number for me
And even if I make it through
That's just something that I have to get used to
That's just something I have to get used to
- How To Fight Loneliness
How to fight loneliness
Smile all the time
Shine you teeth til meaningless
Sharpen them with lies
And whatever's going down
Will follow you around
That's how you fight loneliness
- How to Fight Lonliness
The ashtray says
You were up all night
When you went to bed
With your darkest mind
Your pillow wept
And covered your eyes
And you finally slept
While the sun caught fire
- Hummingbird
His goal in life was to be an echo
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll
A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her
She appears in his dreams
But in his car and in his arms
A dream can mean anything
A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her
- I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
- I'll Fight
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill for you
I will, I will, I will
I'll go,I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
I'll die, I'll die, I'll die, I'll die for you
- I'm a wheel
Oh, hold on
You risk exciting me
Once in Germany someone said nein
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
Oh, hold back
Oh, don't invite me
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
- I'm Always In Love
Why I wonder
Is my heart full of holes?
And the feeling goes
But my hair keeps growing
Will I set the sun
On a big-wheeled wagon?
I'm bragging
- I'm The Man Who Loves You
All I can see is black and white
and white and pink with blades of blue
that lay between the words I think
on a page I was meaning to send her
You I couldn't tell if it bring my heart
the way I wanted when I started
writing this letter to you
- Impossible Germany
Impossible Germany
Unlikely Japan
Wherever you go
Wherever you land
I'll say what this means to me
I'll do what I can
- In A Future Age
Genuine
Day will come
When the wind
Decides to run
And shakes the stairs
That stab the wall
And turns the page
- It's Just That Simple
There's a whole lot of money that you gave me
I'd gladly empty my pockets right now
You'd parlay all that by triple
It's just that simple
Those days I'd gladly walk so long for you
Although it seemed I crawled most of the way
After some time I felt like a cripple
- Jesus, Etc.
Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can combine anything you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
- Just A Kid
Maybe I'm just a kid
Maybe I just don't fit in
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, to go now
I don't want to go to school
But don't get to I make the rules
To early, to early, to early, to early in the morning
- King of You
Wave after wave wishes unspoken
Talks like a blowtorch
Palms out and frozen
Who said it's easy language is losing
I swallow the steam and claim to be stupid
Nails on the threshold
Moon free don't make me the king of you
- Kingpin
I wanna be your kingpin
Living in Pekin
I wanna be your bigwig
Living in Pekin
I got the flu and away I flew
NYC, pediate blue
Dimetapp and spinal tap
- Less Than You Think
Your mind's a machine
It's deadly and dull
It's never been still and its will
Has never been free
Lightly tapping
A high-pitched drum
- Misunderstood
When you're back in your old neighborhood
The cigarettes taste so good
But you're so misunderstood
You're so misunderstood
There's something there that you can't find
Honest when you're tellin' a lie
You hurt her but you don't know why
You love her but you don't know why
- Monday
Charlie had a plenty good band but he couldn't understand why no
One would go
A world record players on a tour of Japan, Charlie fixing his van with the
Left arm tan
He said
Monday, I'm all high, get me out of FLA
In school, yeah, I fooled ya, now I know I made a mistake
- More Like The Moon
I see you in the morning
Wearing only one shoe
I say, I see you've lost something
What're you gonna do?
You say but no, I found one
There's another out there for you
- More...
Ah a shallow tribe is born
Ah kid counterpart
Nah he hollowed out his heart
Ah oh now he wants
More than we have
More than there is
More than we have
- Muzzle Of Bees
There's a random painted highway
And a muzzle of bees
My sleeves have come unstitched
From climbing your tree
And dogs laugh, some say they're barking
I don't think they're mean
Some people get so frightened
- My Darling
Go back to sleep now
My darlin
And I'll keep all the bad dreams away
Breathe now, think sweet things
And I'll think of all the right words to say
Because we made you
My darlin
- On And On And On
On and on and on we'll stay together yeah
On and on and on we'll be together yeah
You and I will try to stay together yeah
On and on and on we'll be together yeah
Please don't cry we're designed to die
Don't deny what's inside
On and on and on we'll stay together yeah
- One By One
One by one the teardrops fall as I write you
One by one my words come falling on the page
One by one my dreams are fading in the twilight
One by one my schemes are fading fast away
One by one the flowers fading in my garden
One by one the leaves are falling from the trees
One by one my hopes are vanished in the clouds clear
- one wing
We once belonged to a bird
We cast a shadow on this world
You were a blessing, and I was a curse
I did my best not to make things worse
For you
That isn’t true
I always knew this would be your fate
- Passenger Side
Hey, wake up, your eyes weren't open wide
For the last couple of miles you've been swerving from side to side
You're gonna make me spill my beer,
If you don't learn how to steer
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
- Pick Up The Change
If it's just your heart talking, I don't mind
If you wanna call me, darling that's just fine, that's just fine
But if it's your mind that's wandering, it'll fall in line
When I kiss your cheek, dear, everytime, everytime
We used to have a lotta things in common,
But you know now we're just the same
You always had more than I really wanted
- Pickled Ginger
Alone in the zone of the sad
Where no one gives a zig to the zag
I'll never let you rot
I'll never bet you don't know
Some might glisten the knot
I'll never let it show
I know when I'm towing the drag
- Please Be Patient With Me
I should warn you
When I’m not well
I can’t tell
Oh, there’s nothing I can do
To make this easier for you
You’re gonna need to be patient with me
- Poor Places
It's my father's voice dreaming of
Sailors sailing off in the morning
For the air-conditioned rooms
At the top of the stairs
His jaw's been broken
His bandage is wrapped too tight
His fangs have been pulled
- Pot Kettle Black
Crazy rides rockets
Who has a magic wand
Empty out your pockets
Words without a song
I myself have found a real rival in myself
I am hoping for a re-arrival of my health
- Radio Cure
Cheer up, honey, I hope you can
There is something wrong with me
My mind is filled with silvery stars
Honey, kisses, clouds of fog
Shoulders shrugging off
Cheer up, honey, I hope you can
There is something wrong wit h me
- Reservations
How can I convince you it's me I don't like
And not be so indifferent to the look in your eyes
When I've always been distant
And I've always told lies for love
I'm bound by these choices so hard to make
I'm bound by the feeling so easy to fake
None of this is real enough to take me from you
- Rising Red Lung
I saw a rising red lung
Glisten under the sun
I wonder when it will pop
In the snow
If the melody's a mistake
An embrace at the wake
How long does it take
For us to know
- Say You Miss Me
I've been sleeping alone, out on my own
I'm sure it seems like I'm taking my time to get back to you
You've been doing your part, working real hard
I'm not lying, sure it seems like I'm trying to get back at you
Do you miss me too?
Baby say I'll miss you
Just say you miss me too
Do you miss me too?
- She's A Jar
She's A Jar lyrics
She's a jar
With a heavy lid
My pop quiz kid
A sleepy kisser
A pretty war
With feelings hid
- Should've Been In Love
You been dealing with all of these feelings
Like they got you believing they have no meaning,
But they do
Your life's been stinking, your heart's been sinking,
And you're too busy thinking to stop
You blink and you're blue
- Someday Soon
Wind will blow and the sun will shine
On that hill where we used to climb
I look in your eyes and you'll be mine
Someday soon
I won't even make a scene
That will be just like a dream
Cash is gonna flow down by the old mainstream
- Someone Else's Song
I can't tell you anything you don't already know.
I keep on trying, I should just let it go.
I keep on singing, you're eyes they just roll.
It sounds like someone else's song from along time ago.
You already know the story and the chords are just the same.
You already know I love you, and I sound like whats-his-name.
But you can't stop me, I want you to know.
I know it sounds like someone else's song from along time ago.
- Sonny Feeling
I was on my way home from high school
Stuck at the crossing I dug in for a duel
But at the last moment I buried the brakes
My life split in two directions, into two separate fates
I got on the last flight to Amsterdam
But couldn't hit the runway so we took off again
Oh, there's no need to worry, the captain cut in
- Summer teeth
Like a cloud his fingers explode
On the typewriter ribbon, the shadow grows
His hearts in a bowl behind the bank
And every evening when he get home
To make his supper and eat it alone
His black shirt cries
While his shoes get cold
- Sunken Treasure
There's rows and rows of houses
With windows painted blue
With the light from the TV
Running parallel to you
But there is no sunken treasure
Rumored to be
Wrapped inside my ribs
- Sunloathe
Allo Sun
Sometimes I don't
Know how to love
Anything myself
It's hard
To become
Hold on to it all
But kill my memories
- Taste The Ceiling
Я лишь просил момент истины,
Я не могу побороть это чувство, когда зависаю с тобой.
Почему я прощаю тебя? Потому что запутался.
Я никогда не мог бросить ту часть себя, которую ты отвергла.
Я был на потолке, я почти мог прикоснуться к солнцу,
Пробовал говорить связно, но так никогда не делалось.
Почему наши неприятности медленно выползают на обозрение?
- The Lonely 1
After the show
You walked right past
Arms reached out
For your autograph
And as you flashed
Your backstage pass
I caught your eye
With a camera's flash
- The Lonely one
After the show you walked right past.
Arms reached out for your autograph.
And as you flashed your backstage pass.
I caught your eye with a camera's flash.
When the band came out they stood behind you.
Cymbals crashed, the lights went blue.
You stood alone in the halo's haze.
Shinny guitar hung on gold lamay.
- Venus Stop the Train
Venus, stop the train
For the brakeman lost his place
Satellites were spinning and out of space
They televised her feelings while the light
The light struck terror
I kept my distance because she fell in love with everyone
Smoking grass and taking Christmas trees
- Via Chicago
I dreamed about killing you again last night
And it felt alright to me
Dying on the banks of Embarcadero skies
I sat and watched you bleed
Buried you alive in a fireworks display
Raining down on me
You cold, hot blood ran away from me
To the sea
- War on War
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
There's a war on
- What can I do
You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It’s like we never met
But you and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
- What Light
If you feel like singing a song
And you want other people to sing along
Just sing what you feel
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
And if you're trying to paint a picture
But you're not sure which colors belong
Just paint what you see
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
- What's The World Got In Store
Close your eyes and go to sleep, baby
Take your head off your feet, honey
'Cause you've been working hard and I know you're tired
You been tryin' hard not to think I'm a liar
What's the world got in store?
What's the world got in store for you?
What's the world got in store for you now?
- When You Wake Up Feeling Old
When you wake up feelin' old
At this piano filled with souls
Some strange purse stuffed nervous with gold
Can you be where you want to be?
Walk down any street you can find
Look at any clock telling time
Sing some strange verse from some strange song of vines
- Where Do I Begin
Alright at least you cried
A point of pride has torn in two
What was we where we meets you
From where we end to where do I begin
We're so alone
We're never alone
Forever in debt to the stomach I get
- You Never Know
Come on, children
You're acting like children
Every generation thinks
It's the end of the world
All you fat followers
Get fit fast
Every generation
