Lyrics to Losing A Whole Year :
Losing a whole year
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year
Hiding in your room we'd lay like dogs
The phone would ring
Like a joke that's left unsaid
Losing a whole year

Rich daddy left you with a parachute
Your voice sounds like money
And your face is cute
But your daddy left you with no love
You touch everything with a velvet glove and
Now you want to try a life of sin
You want to be down with the down and in
Always copping my truths
I kind of get the feeling like I'm being used
And now I realize that you never heard
One goddamned word I ever said
Losing a whole year

Took your stuff and put it in the basement
When I found out what the smile on your face meant
I've seen you pop that check
Craning your neck at the car wreck
It always seems the juice used to flow
In the car, in the kitchen you were good to go
Now we're stuck with the tube
A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year

And if it's not the defense then you're on the attack
When you start talking
I hear the Prozac
Convinced you've found your place
With the pierced queer teens in Cyberspace
When you were yourself it tasted sweet
But it sours into a routine deceit
Well this drama is a bore
And I don't want to play no more
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year

Lyrics to Narcolepsy :
I'm on a train,
But there's no one at the helm
And there's a demon in my brain
That starts to overwhelm,
And there it goes,
My last chance for peace,
I lay me down,
But I get no release,

I try to keep awake,
I try to swim beneath,
But still I find this narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare

And there's a demon in my head
Who starts to play,
A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday,
And I hold my breath
'Till it's more than I can take,
And I close my eyes; I dream that I'm awake

I try to keep awake
I try to keep awake
But still I find this Narcolepsy slides
Into another nightmare

I read dead Russian authors
Volumes at a time
I write everything down
Except what's on my mind
Cause my greatest fear
Is that sucking sound
And then I know I'll never get back out
And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink
In a crowded room where the glasses clink
And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep
Because that keeps me from falling asleep

How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
How'd you like to be alone and drowning
Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide slides
Into another night mare
Keep awake
Keep awake
Keep awake
Still I find this narcolepsy slides...

Lyrics to Semi-charmed Life :
I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
She lives for me, says she lives for me
Ovation, her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile, like a drug for you
Do ever what you wanna do, coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said...
I want something else, to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth, will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm, I bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
I said...
How do I get back there, to the place where I fell asleep inside you
How do I get myself back to the place where you said...
I want something else, to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right, all right
And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city, we tripped on the urge to feel alive
Now I'm struggling to survive, those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties they pass the test
Slide up around the belly, face down on the mattress
One
And you hold me, and we're broken
Still it's all that I wanna do, just a little now
Feel myself, head made of the ground
I'm scared, I'm not coming down
No, no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws now, locked down in a smile
But nothing is all right, all right
And I want something else, to get me through this life
Baby, I want something else
Not listening when you say...
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Someplace back there, in the place we used to start
I want something else

Lyrics to Jumper :
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies,
That you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again,
I would understand,
I would understand,
The angry boy,
A bit too insane,
Icing over a secret pain,
You know you don't belong,
You're the first to fight,
You're way too loud,
You're the flash of light,
On a burial shroud,
I know something's wrong,
Well everyone I know has got a reason,
To say,
Put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies,
That you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again,
I would understand,
I would understand,
Well he's on the table,
And he's gone to code,
And I do not think anyone knows,
What they are doing here,
And your friends have left,
You've been dismissed,
I never thought it would come to this,
And I, I want you to know,
Everyone's got to face down the demons,
Maybe today,
We can put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies,
That you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again,
I would understand,
I would understand,
I would understand...
Can you put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
I would understand...

Lyrics to Graduate :
Can I Graduate,
Can I look into the faces that I meet,
Can I get my punk-ass off the street,
I've been living on for so long,
Can I Graduate,
To the bastard talking down to me,
Your whipping boy calamity,
Cross your fingers,
I'm going to knock it all down,
Can I Graduate,
Echo fading,
We can't let go,
She goes walking by in slow mo',
Sell your heart out for a buck,
Go on,
Fade out,
Before I get stuck,
Talking to somebody like you,
Do you live the days you go through,
Will this song live on long after we do,
Can I Graduate,
Can I look into the faces that I meet,
Can I get my punk-ass off the street,
Won't die on the vine
I want to knock it all down,
Can I Graduate,
Echo fading,
Candle blow,
Did you flash out long ago,
Cross my fingers,
I don't know
Someone poked you down below,
Can I Graduate,
Can I get my punk-ass off the street,
Can I look into the faces that I meet,
I'm not waiting here for you to die,
Will this song live on long after we do

Lyrics to How's It Going To Be :
I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore,
Before you take a swing,
I wonder
What are we fighting for?
When I say out loud,
I want to get out of this,
I wonder
Is there anything
I'm going to miss,
I wonder how's it going to be,
When you don't know me,
How's it going to be,
When you're sure I'm not there,
How's it going to be,
When there is no one there to talk about,
How's it going to be,
'Cause I don't care,
How's it going to be,

Where we used to laugh,
There's a shouting match,
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch,
A silence I can't ignore,
Like...
The hammocks and the doorways we spent time in,
Swing empty,
Don't see lightning like last fall
When it was always about to hit me,
I guess that's how it's going to be
Want to get back in again
The soft dive of oblivion

Lyrics to Thanks A Lot :
It's all in your mind,
She said
The darkness and the light,
The clock, it bleeds for you
But you never got the time in right,
I woke you up
And I slit the throat of your confidence,
And we laughed in the night,
And I felt all right,
All hands on deck boys
'Cause this ship was made to sink,
Your swabber salutes you now,
But I know what he's thinking,
I woke you up
And I slit the throat of your confidence,
And we laughed in the night,
And I felt all right.
Thanks a lot,
The clothes she wears mis-fit,
And she's nervous when she speaks,
Her zombie mom and dad
Live in a separate house of freaks.
I woke you up
And I slit the throat of your confidence,
I'm the one for you,
'Cause I know all the dirty things
You like to do,
I'm the fear in your eyes,
I'm the fire in your flies,
I'm the sound that's buzzing around your head,
Thanks a lot

Lyrics to Burning Man :
The rise and fall of my sloppy love,
The smatterings, and splatterings,
They'll get you,
I'm not the one you were thinking of,
Maybe you thought I'd call,
Instead of crashing down your hall.
Hold me down,
But I'll find out,
You know you will never get what you need,
Blue Diamond strike 'em anywhere,
First we caffeinate, then incinerate,
We'll get you,
And sparks will fly in the summer air,
Did you pull out of your stall,
Maybe I'll see you after all,
Say we don't,
Know who we are,
We say no,
I live my life like the burning man,
Like a burning man,
Like a burning man,
And I won't get enough,
'Till my legs are broken,
The stars they shine,
In an empty void,
Life is not to fear,
Lfe is to enjoy,
He'll get you,
Mr. Death catches all someday,
Baby I thought you'd call,
Or leave a light on in the hall,
Hold me down,
But I'll find out,
We say no,
I live my life like a burning man,
And I won't get enough,
Till my legs are broken

Lyrics to Good For You :
Hey, will you stay awhile
My smile will not mislead you,
Cause I've been alone,
And my faith turned to stone,
Still there's something in you,
I believe in,
Close to the pierce,
I go wild and fierce,
Still I let you be,
I feel you next to me,
'Cause outside I feel,
A wind it starts to blow,
I'm taken in your undertow.
Everything is fine...
But I'm lonely all the time,
All I want to do is be there,
For the things that you're going through,
Is that good for you,
Is that good for you,
You haunt my nights when,
I don't know where my life should go,
Is that good for you,
Hey child please stay awhile,
My smile will not mislead you,
And roll me out,
I go wild with doubt,
I grab at you,
I can't stop grabbing at you,
Cause I feel you cross my mind in disarray,
Intoxicated ricochet,
There's nothing wrong
Just don't take too long,
All I want to do is be there,
For the things that you're going through,
Is that good for you,
Is that good for you,
You haunt my nights when I don't know where my life should go,
Is that good for you

Lyrics to London :
Through the satellites,
I fight with you,
That local brew is spillin',
I know just how you spend your time.
I want to get my hands on him,
Somebody's party in a London flat,
You're where it's at and I know,
You want to see me loose my mind,
I'm tired of chasing after you,
The residue is jealous,
See me on the dark side of your mind,
I want to get my hands on him,
To a club that's pounding in the London rain,
The world could end,
We wouldn't hear it,
I know just what's on your mind,
I see the way your face has changed,
We're no good for each other,
You tricked me into coming here,
So let go,
l don't want to go to London,
I told you I don't care,
I don't want to go to London,
To live there,
I don't want to go to London,
All your friends afflicted,
I don't want to go to London,
She's addicted,
I saw you with him,
I know where you've been,
That nose is broken wide open,
Your way has got me out of line,
I want to get my hands on him,
You're so sick just to make me prove,
It takes a fight to move you,
I know just what's on your mind,
It's been this way a thousand years,
We torture each other,
So why the hell did you call me here,
And you know,
l don't want to go to London,
I told you I don't care,
I don't want to go to London,
To live there,
I don't want to go to London,
All your friends afflicted,
I don't want to go to London,
She's addicted,
l don't want to go to London,
I told you I don't care,
I don't want to go to London,
'Cause you're not there,
Even when I see you,
You're somewhere else in London

Lyrics to I Want You :
The suckers lose themselves in the games,
They learn to play,
Children love to sing but then their voices slowly fade away,
People always take a step away,
From what is true,
That's why I like you around,
I want you,
Yeah you do,
You make me want you
An open invitation to the dance,
Happenstance set the vibe that we are in,
No apology because my urge is genuine,
And the mystery of your rhythm is so feminine,
Here I am and I want to take a hit,
Of your scent and it bit,
So deep into my soul,
I want you,
You do, you do,
You make me want you,
Send me all your vampires
And I can't get enough,
And I can't get enough,

The village church yard is filled with, Bones weeping in the grave,
The silver lining of clouds shines,
On people Jesus couldn't save,
You want to know how deeply my soul goes,
Deeper than bones,
I want you,
And I can't get enough,

After we did it by the windowsill,
Smoke rings drift into the midnight sky,
Presently in the quilt that your mother made,
And a candle burns to fight off the gloom,
I said to live in this way is not for the meek,
But you talk real soft and kiss me on the cheek,
And like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep,
There'll be no regrets when the worms come,
And they will surely come,
You do you do,
I want you,
Send me all your vampires,
I want you

Lyrics to Background :
Everything is quiet,
Since you're not around,
And I live in the numbness now,
In the background,
I do the things we did before,
I walk Haight Street to the store,
And they say where's that crazy girl?
You don't get drunk on red wine,
And fight no more,
'Cause I don't see you anymore,
Since the hospital,
But the plans I make
Still have you in them,
Then you come swimming into view,
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do,
The words they use so lightly,
I only feel for you,
I only know this cause I am,
Way back down,
In the background,
Words they come
And memories all repeat,
I lift your head while,
They change the hospital sheets,
I would never lie to you,
No I would never lie to you,
I felt you long after we were through,
And the plans I make still have you in them,
Cause you come swimming into view,
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do,
The words they use so lightly,
I only feel for you,
I only know this cause I am,
Way back down,
In the background

Lyrics to Motorcycle Drive By :
Summer time and the wind is blowing,
Outside in lower Chelsea,
And I don't know
What I'm doing in this city,
The sun is always in my eyes,
It crashes through the windows,
And I'm sleeping on the couch,
When I came to visit you,
That's when I knew,
I could never have you,
I knew that before you did,
Still I'm feeling stupid,
And there's this burning,
Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive,
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
Cigarette ash flies in your eyes,
And you don't mind,
And you smile,
And say the world doesn't fit with you.
I don't believe you,
You're so serene,
Careening through the universe,
Your axis on a tilt,
Guiltless and free,
I hope you take a piece of me with you,
And there's things I'd like to do that, You don't believe in,
I would like to build something,
You know it's never going to happen,
And there's this burning,
Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive,
And there's this burning,
There is this burning,
Where's the soul,
I want to know,
New York City is evil,
The surface is everything,
But I could never do that,
Someone would see through that,
And this will be the last time,
We'll be friends again,
I'll get over you and you'll wonder,
Who I am,
And there's this burning,
Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive,
I go home to the coast,
It starts to rain,
I paddle out,
On the water,
Alone,
Taste the salt and taste the pain,
I'm not thinking of you again,
Summer dies and swells rise,
The sun goes down in my eyes,
See this rolling wave,
Darkly coming to take me,
Home,
And I never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive

Lyrics to God Of Wine :
Every thought that I repent,
There's another chip you haven't spent,
And you're cashing them all in,
Where do we begin,
To get clean again,
Can we get clean again,
I walk home alone with you,
And the mood you're born into,
Sometimes you let me in,
And I take it on the chin,
I can't get clean again,
I want to know,
Can we get clean again,
The God of Wine comes crashing through,
The headlights of a car that,
Took you farther than you thought you'd ever want to go,
We can't get back again,
We can't get back again,
She takes a drink and then she waits,
The alcohol it permeates,
And soon the cells give way,
And cancels out the day,
I can't keep it all together,
I know...
I can't keep it all together,
And the siren's song that is your madness,
Holds a truth I can't erase,
All alone on your face,
Every glamorous sunrise,
Throws the planets out of line,
A star sign out of whack,
A fraudulent zodiac,
And the God of Wine is crouched down in my room,
You let me down, I said it,
Now I'm going down,
And you're not even around.
And I said no...
I can't keep it all together,
I know...
I can't keep it all together,
And there's a memory of a window,
Looking through I see you.
Searching for something,
I could never give you,
And there's someone who understands you,
More than I do,
A sadness I can't erase,
All alone on your face

Lyrics to Don't Believe A Word :
Cigarette's make an ember stain
Notes scribbled on paper chain
Ever get the feeling that you've been cheated?
You busted out you been defeated
All strong bones we hold no water
A big fake smile and you try harder
Time wound down and you've been cached
Half measures are all half-assed!
How did I ever end up this way?
Cause I go numb in disarray
I cultivate my ignorance
Didn't I have some standards once?
I hate you down to your boots
We wanted clever, we settled for cute and
Remember the times I looked in your eyes
All the times we rhapsodized
Do not love you will find no trust and
Do not touch you will find no such
Give me back my photos, will you?
You fucking whore I'll kill you!

Don't believe a word
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'
Don't believe it!
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'

Every fake is everything
Some dull ache replace the sting
Rap stars brag and shoot each other
And entertain just like no other
We love thugs when they attack and
We love crime all black on black and
Isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?
Isn't this more than you can take!

Don't believe a word
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'
Yeah don't believe it!
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'

Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'

Found a bomb with big lich pins
Yay for the bullies they always win
All sensation makes no sense
Some insane confidence
Isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?
Isn't this more than you can take?
Scandalize now with such ease
Stress this secular disease
Sermon tells a soldier squeeze
The trigger on our enemies
We're all alive, all alone
Til you come home
Please come home

Don't believe a word
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'
Yeah don't believe it!
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'

Lyrics to Anything :
Anything for you
Turn my castles blue

Turn my bones to sand
Just to see you
I'll give you anything
I'll give you anything
I'll give you anything

Jackie O with the top down, open
All the words to what’s unspoken
I'll put together everything that's broken

Just to see you
I'll give you anything
I'll give you anything
I'll give you anything

Jackie O with the top down, open
A king’s horse for what's been broken
I'll bring back even what’s unspoken

Just to see you
I'll give you anything
I'll give you anything

Lyrics to Wounded :
The guy who put his hands on you
Has got nothing to do with me
And the bruises that you feel will heal
And I hope you'll come around
'Cause we're missing you
And you used to speak so easy
Now you're afraid to talk to me
It's like walking with the wounded
Carrying that weight way too far
Concrete pulled you down so hard
Out there with the wounded
We're missing you
Well I never claimed to understand what happens after dark
But my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of touching you
When you're wounded
Let me break it down 'til I force the issue
We miss your face, you know I wish you
Would come back down the Dalva Bar
You tell 'em, that's just my battle scar
I want to kiss you
And knock 'em down like we used to
You're the marigold
Till you're walking down shaking that ass again
And then you walk on, baby walk on, you walk on
On and on
You're an angel in the pit with her hands in the air
And we're missing you
Now it's fall, and your shoulders get tighter
Nervous flicks on your lighter, boots
Your pissed off poets, your women's groups
And the friends with you, we should have known this fool
Well I guess we missed the mark
Still my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of them touching you
Now you're wounded
Let me break it down 'til I force the issue
You never come around, and you know we miss you
Well nobody took your pride away
I said, that's something people say
Back down the bully to the back of the bus
'Cause it's time for them to be scared of us
'Til you're yelling, how we're living cause you got the ball
Then you rock on baby, rock on, you rock on
On and on
You're a summer time hottie with her socks in the air
You're screaming I don't care baby, I don't care, no
You say you don't know
You say you can't grow
All I know is we're missing you, you
You say you don't know
You say you can't grow
All I know is we're missing you, you
Show up
Show up wounded
Show up
Show up wounded

Lyrics to 10 Days Late :
Click your heals
And feel you come for me
Care free, she's got something big to tell me
At the ocean
Talk back at the ocean
There's no simple way
To let you know
Funny how she always cried out daddy
I got a big surprise, she said
I'm in trouble now
and it cannot wait
She's ten days late
Boy, your life got complicated
Well I can't wait
To see this through
She's ten days late
Ten days late
Low ride bicycles go cruising by
I laugh
I don't even know why
Talk back at the ocean
Consequence and ozone
Catch a glow
Oh no, baby, oh no no
Give me a minute now
To figure out my state
Oh I know
She's ten days late
And I don't know
Where to take it
But it's still great
Knowing you
She's ten days late
Ten days late (Choir)

Time has come for you to choose
Baby daddies keep your boo
Many blessings come to you
Baby daddy keep your boo

Your eyes look to me for what to do
I can't lie
I don't know
No one’s laughing now
What do I say
You walk away
No don't go
At the ocean, talk back at the ocean
Give me a minute now
To figure out my state
She's ten days late
And I'm never going to fade it
I guess I'll always be
Knowing you

Lyrics to Never Let You Go :
There's every good reason for letting you go
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show
I never let you go

I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other

You say that I’ve changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it
I never let you go

I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other

And our friends are gone and gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
If there's a reason, it's lost on me
Maybe we’ll be friends, I guess we'll see
I never let you go

I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other

I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine, did you cash in all your dreams
You don't dream for me, no
You don't dream for me, no
But I still feel you pulse like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
The girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
She's like a sunburn

Lyrics to Deep Inside Of You :
When we met light was shed
Thoughts free flow you said you've got something
Deep inside of you
A wind chime voice sound, sway your hips round rings true
Echo’s deep inside of you
These secret garden beams changed my life so it seems
Fall breeze blows outside, I don't break stride
My thoughts are warm, and they go deep inside of you
Oh yeah
And I never felt alone
Alright, alone...alone
Till I met you
Friends say I've changed
I don't listen cause I live to be
Deep inside of you
Slide up her dress, shouts in darkness
I'm so alive I'm
Deep inside of you
You said boy make girl feel good
But still
I’ve never felt alone
Till I met you
I'm alright on my own
Till I met you
And I’d know what to do if I just knew What's coming
I would change myself if I could
I’d walk with my own people if I could find them,
And I would say that I'm sorry to you,
I'm sorry to you, but I don't want to call you,
But then I want to call you cause I don't want to crush you,
But I feel like crushing you and it's true
I took for granted you were with me,
I breath by your looks and you look right through me

But we were broke and didn't know
But we were broke and didn't know
But we were broke and didn't know
But we were broke and didn't know

Something's gone you withdraw and I'm not strong like before I was
Deep inside of you
I can go nowhere I burn candles and stare at a ghost
Deep inside of you
And some great need in me, starts to bleed
I've lost my self there's nothing left, it's all gone
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you

Lyrics to 1000 Julys :
Planning my attack just before you come back around
Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t know how to back down
I never fit in, you know I don’t belong
But you I don't care when you and me are strong
Cause I’m a vampire y’all
We toast the blood of our enemies
You’re still scaring me no,
Still scaring me no,
And we don’t fit in
Wonder what it’s like when you’re living with someone like me
I’m a freak and I’m nervous when it’s easy
Feral days, and I’m sex crazed
I put it in with my animal ways
That’s the sign I was born to be living in
I ran around and gave the finger to the Ritalin
You know you calm me down and I can’t say why
You say goodbye and burn my eyes
A thousand July’s
I hope you find
I’d give you the words, but no words come to mind
But you turn me so cold, so I tell you lies
When you let me in, it’s like a thousand Julys
When you left, I felt the drop like a boom
Wintertime all alone in your bedroom
I don’t blame you and I know I’m not your friend
How we live, young American
I guess I’ve always known, I’d be on my own,
I’d be on my own, and I don’t know why, I don’t know why
A thousand Julys
I know you’ll find
I’d say the words, but no words come to mind
But you let me in, and I don’t know why
But when you come, it’s like a thousand Julys
A thousand Julys
That’s what you are
I’d tell you to come back now, but we’ve gone too far
And we’ve burned it out now
I don’t even try
But I feel you gone
I lost a thousand Julys

Lyrics to An Ode To Maybe :
Lead in night at a Laundromat
And I'm staring at you pulling clothes from a dryer
And I'm wondering how I got here
But it seems some how I keep getting stuck in the mire
I needed this more than I knew
And I let you down and I said I'm sorry
But the light that falls on my castle walls
And my basketballs pelt me with bricks in my dreams
Tonight
Oh, maybe
What you need I hope it finds you
Oh, I might
I might be
Well, maybe
Maybe someday you'll get it right
If I could bottle my hopes in a store bought scent
They’d be nutmeg peach and they’d pay the rent
And I’d ride a horse, and I’d teach a course
On how I got to be a star crossed pimp
Tonight
Oh, maybe
What you need I hope it finds you
Oh, I might
I might be
Well, maybe
Maybe someday you'll get it right

Lyrics to The Red Summer Sun :
There’s a big red sky over you and I
And it’s coming down and we’re pumping over ground
In desert air I hope you’ll be there
Cause it’s coming down
Pumping over ground
I’ve seen car wreck kids walk away from it
Laughed from within
I know these days will end
It’s been a long time, a long time
To walk with the mighty
I won’t be a martyr
So let me go, let me go
On my own
I’ll make do with none
I will blame no one
Slept on packing foam
I’ll make it all my home
And I’ll take on anyone
It’s been a long time, a long time
To walk with the mighty
I won’t be a martyr
So let me go, let me go
And I’ll take on anyone
These days they’re not done
The red summer sun

Lyrics to Camouflage :
Justice comes into your life and then you’ll know
You’ll know
Justice comes, justice let it come
I get the justice coming for you and I
I get the joy joy when it comes my joy, I get joy
When justice comes to everyone
Why does a willow weep when all I see’s a tree grow
All in camouflage everyone I know
We walk along like sequel, you’re a cameo
You’ve got your joy
So find the people of your own
I’ll take in anyone who’s taking off their camouflage
Go on check it
I’ll take in anyone who’s messing up the sabotage
To yourself don’t destroy
I’ll take in anyone who’s taking off their camouflage
Gimme the ball, gimme it all, big orange ball
Roll up over fields
I shame the devil cause I throw it down so hard
I rock the big line, I rock the back yard
Be a dream in color even on a winter’s night
Thinking George Seurat, afternoon bathed in light
Get your joy no matter who says it’s right
Their cover’s blown
Find the story of your own
Check it
I’ll take in anyone who’s taking off their camouflage
Go on check it
I’ll take in anyone who’s messing up the sabotage
To yourself don’t destroy
I’ll take in anyone who’s taking off their camouflage
Ok, ok, ok
In the geometry of, prism of my of my eye will flow
I ask the questions and wonder why,
Only to roll in a big arrange ball that floats in a summer sky
(secret words never to be printed)
Take it up from the underground, proactive and soul,
Play a vital roll that’s what you are
Check it
I’ll take in anyone who’s taking off their camouflage
Go on check it
I’ll take in anyone who’s messing up the sabotage
To yourself don’t destroy
I’ll take in anyone who’s taking off their camouflage

Lyrics to Farther :
Nothing much matters much to me
So I don't see why I should hold so tightly
To a memory I can't speak of
I think about it nightly
How you opened up your life for me
Why are you still lonely?
Though I’m not the type who begs
I’m thinking how you’d open up your legs
But I’m farther from you every day
I'm farther from you every day
And a woman talking to herself gathers up the shit she couldn't sell
Chances don’t bode well tomorrow and
Talking to myself pass by,
I miss you but know the face you make
Like when you found me out for the fake I am
So easily you see through me
What do you do to me to make me treat you so bad?
I keep hoping that you’ll speak to me
But I’m farther from you every day
All I think about is waiting and the people we are changing into
Farther from you every day
Farther from you every day
There was a sound but I don't know how it goes
There was something we went through, blew in from the coast
You said, you are of the earth,
I am of the sky
I don't even know what the hell that means
Farther from you every day
All I think about is waiting and the people we are fading into
Farther from you every day
And I think about you dying years from now never having known
Who you are
Farther from you every day
