Oh, for the sake of momentum
I've allowed my fears to get larger than life And it's brought me to my current agendum Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive And I know life is getting shorter I can't bring myself to set the scene Even when it's approaching torture I've got my routine Oh, for the sake of momentum Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day But I hate to think of effort expended All those minutes and days and hours I have frittered away. And I know life is getting shorter I can't bring myself to set the scene Even when it's approaching torture I've got my routine But I can't confront the doubts I have I can't admit that maybe the past was bad And so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death So it can match the past. when I can't confront the doubts I have I can't admit that maybe the past was bad And so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death So it can match the past. |

She's been a long time on the phone Courting disaster in an undertone She's feeling nostalgic and feeling that fall How could anyone ever fight it Who could ever expect to fight it when she Builds that Wall Maybe it's one where time will tell Maybe it's one where it's just fare-thee-well I hear her coming As she walks down the hall How could anyone ever fight it Who could ever expect to fight it when she Builds that Wall I know the choice is made I can tell, I said By your guilty face And I never was one to fight it How does anyone ever fight it You couldn't pin this one on me You knew my thoughts so far as I could see Well, I'd say it's hopeless But you make the call 'Cause I never was one to fight it And if given the chance I guess I'll learn to Build that wall Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Oooooooooo Build that Wall Ahhhhhh Build That Wall |

Now that I've met you
would you object to never seeing each other again cause I can't afford to climb aboard you no one's got that much ego to spend So don't work your stuff because I've got troubles enough no, don't pick on me when one act of kindness could be deathly deathly definitely Cause I'm just a problem for you to solve and watch dissolve in the heat of your charm but what will you do when you run it through and you can't get me back on the farm So don't work your stuff because I've got troubles enough no, don't pick on me when one act of kindness could be deathly deathly definitely You're on your honor cause I'm a goner and you haven't even begun so do me a favor if I should waver be my savior and get out the gun Just don't work your stuff because I've got troubles enough no, don't pick on me when one act of kindness could be deathly deathly definitely |

At least you know
you were taken by a pro I know just how you feel She talked a perfect game deflecting all the blame you took the jack and changed the flat and got behind the wheel-- now you're Driving sideways taken in by the scenery as you're propelled along And your companion will not help you to navigate for fear she may be wrong And you will say that you're making headway and put it in overdrive but you're mistaking speed for getting what you need and never even noticing you never do arrive cause you're Driving sideways if you roll down the window you'll see you're where you don't belong And your companion will not help you to navigate for fear she may be wrong And you're powered by the hopeful lie that it's just around the bend and when this, by default comes screeching to a halt let's hope that you know what to do to start it up again Driving sideways hitting scan on the radio so she can sing along and she'll sit thinking you're going to handle it until she's proven wrong until she's proven wrong until you prove her wrong |

You stay the night at his house
with no ride to work and I'm the one who tells you he's another jerk but you're the one who can succeed you've only got to prove your need-- and you do you really do The sex you're trading up for what you hope is love is just another thing that he'll be careless of but though there are caveats galore you've only got to love him more-- and you do you really do even when it's all too clear You write a little note that you leave on the bed and spend some time dissecting every word he said and if he seemed a little strange well, baby--anyone can change and you do you do you really do |

Once upon a time is how it always goes
but I'll make it brief what was started out with such excitement now I'd gladly end end with relief in what now has become a familiar motif: That nothing is good enough for people like you who have to have someone take the fall and something to sabotage-- determined to lose it all Critics at their worst could never criticize the way that you do no, there's no one else, I find, to undermine or dash a hope quite like you and you do it so casually, too Cause nothing is good enough for people like you who have to have someone take the fall and something to sabotage-- determined to lose it all Ladies and gentlemen-- here's exhibit A didn't I try again? And did the effort pay? Wouldn't a smarter man simply walk away? It doesn't really help that you can never say what you're looking for but you'll know it when you hear it, know it when you see it walk through the door So you say-- so you've said many times before But nothing is good enough for people like you who have to have someone take the fall and something to sabotage-- determined to lose it all |

It's not what you thought
When you first began it You got what you want Now you can hardly stand it though By now you know it's not Going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up you're sure there's a cure And you have finally found it You think one drink will shrink you 'til you're underground and living down But it's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up Prepare a list of what you need Before you sign away the deed 'Cause it's not going to stop It's not going to stop It's not going to stop 'Til you wise up No it's not going to stop 'Til you wise up Now it's not going to stop So just give up |

You look like a perfect fit
For a girl in need of a tourniquet But can you save me Come on and save me If you could save me From the ranks of the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone 'Cause I can tell You know what it's like The long farewell of the hunger strike But can you save me Come on and save me If you could save me From the ranks of the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone You struck me dumb like radium Like Peter Pan or Superman You will come to save me C'mon and save me If you could save me From the ranks of the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone 'Cept the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone But the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone C'mon and save me Why don't you save me If you could save me From the ranks of the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone Except the freaks Who suspect they could never love anyone Except the freaks who could never love anyone |

It was an early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an achor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger, it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behavior That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger, it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain |

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, Joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, Logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, Clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, The questions run too deep For such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, Liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! At night, when all the world's asleep, The questions run so deep For such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am. |
