Staple my hand
Staple my hands to my heart Staple my hand Staple my lips shut Staple my hand Staple my lips shut I'm staying right here I won't move 'til I'm dead I'm staying right here You can cut me in two instead I'm staying right here I won't move 'til you're dead But you can move me over my head I'm raking up threats here I've left the gypsies outside I'm make bets dear I just woke up one morning and died I'm staying right here Your staples have stitched deep inside And you can move me over my head But you can move me over my head But you can move me over my head And you can move me over my head |

Sister can you hear me now
The ringing in your ears I'm down on the ground My luck's been dry for years I'm lost in the dark And I feel like a dinosaur Broken face and broken hands I'm a broken man I've hit the wall I'm about to fall But I'm closing in on it I feel so weak On a losing streak Watch my taillights fade to black I read a thing about this girl She was a hermit in her world Her story was much like mine She could be my valentine And although we've never met I won't forget her yet She cut herself off from her past Now she's alone at last I feel so sick Lost love's last licks But I'm closing down on it I feel so weak On a losing streak Watch my taillights fade to black Lost my life in cheap wine Now it's quiet time Cappy Dick nor Jesus Christ Could not help my fate But I'm underneath a gun I'm singing about my past Had myself a wonderful thing But I could not make it last I've hit the wall I'm about to fall But I'm closing in on it I feel so small Underneath it all Watch my taillights fade to black ..Watch my taillights fade ..Watch my taillights fade ..Watch my taillights fade |

I've been turned on
In that little room And I am all caved in now like a cat I've woken up 'Cause you've spoken up I'm catatonic but ready to roll Drift sense of time Turning round on a dime Crossed the thin line As I'm waving goodbye You saved my life Now once or twice And I'm not willing to let it go Mountains of your head Come back in dreams And I'm thinking true pencil thoughts Hell hath no fury I'm restless but weak What's on your mind If it's on your tongue you should speak Speak It's true She was spinning and She was hinting at And sweeping dust in and out of rooms What could I do? I'm asking you I made myself invisible to her Hell hath no fury I'm restless but weak What's on your mind If it's on your tongue you should speak Speak It's true |

All spangled up, glittering on
There's a monster in the kitchen - his lights's turned on Thanks for coming - it meant a lot But you sure do know how to put me on the spot You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You came into the kitchen - a rose held high I never want to see young flowers die And hearing all that made me feel like a spy To tell you any different would be to lie You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green "Merry Christmas" you said to me Empty drawers - nothing left for me We turned around now and what did we see? All our whispers and transparencies You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green You're so green So green So green So green |

I'll let the angels bore ya I'm just tryin' to understand 1,2,3,4,5 I'm callin' Julie you just keep on walkin' I can't laugh at all that matters I can't sleep at night without a stare But I'm not cryin' for ya Is that a big box for ya I'm just tryin' to make some change Make some change I am sick of your goldfish manners I am sick of being in my head No one talks about my problem No one really cares if I'm not here But I ain't cryin for ya My greenest eyes are for ya I'll get up and fly some... Someday Hold my hand and hold my temper Hold my ticket while I go away Cause all the earth and all the angels All the crystal crosses are the same They're the same But I ain't dying for ya Built that big box for ya Ma I'm tryin' to pre..., to pretend Mom, oh ... MOMMA 1,2,3,4,5 I'm calling Julie keep on walkin' Keep on walkin' |

When I sleep is when you rise
Get out of bed wipe the sleep from your eyes I shut my eyes - all the world drops dead Now's the time friend of mine With a passage to A passage from Your daily missal We taught that Cat to crawl When I sleep is when you rise Get out of bed wipe the sleep from your eyes My heart and soul are in your hands Now's the time friend of mine With a passage to A passage from Your daily missal We taught that Cat to crawl Now's the time friend of mine And now's the time friend of mine |

Here she comes across the street
But I'm already there downstairs to meet with her She could make my life complete But I'm already there to compete with her Climb aboard my velvet roof And smile showing me one golden tooth A simple gesture yes or no Would have been enough to let me know Scraggly hair and messed up shoes I'm looking all around for you Find you in the corner bar But you can't find the keys to your car She's as sharp as a razor blade But she could cut my wrists open just the same Softer than my velvet floor Gatherin' up the veil and going home Scraggly hair and messed up shoes I'm looking all around for you Find you in the corner bar But you can't find the keys to your car She's as sharp as a razor blade But she could cut my wrists open just the same Softer than my velvet floor Gatherin' up the veil and going home Hey man what's the matter with Hey man what's the matter with you Hey man what's the matter with Hey man what's the matter with you Hey man what's the matter with Hey man what's the matter with you Hey |

Maybe it's only - cuz I'm so poor
That you don't count me - anymore Maybe I'm tryin' to compare Take my picture - don't you dare Maybe it's only - cuz I fall I'm so much closer - but yer so tall But I'm no baby - I ain't no child I'll get to bed soon - in awhile Hear me crawlin' down your stairs Count your children - don't be scared My wooden floor is awful bare But you can't take me - I'm not there Cuz I'm screamin' - cuz I'm tired I'm a little bit lonesome, I'm not so dire But I'm no baby - I'm no child I'll get in bed now - just for awhile Hear me callin' down your stairs Count your babies - one's not there One's not there |

Broken
By words left unspoken I thought you was joking The words you say Stymied Please come untie me You're lying right beside me Don't lie to me Lying I caught you lying You caught me trying Don't let me catch you lying Lazy Open up the daisies And lay my so lazy soul to sleep Hoping I was not joking Was merely choking The words got caught Lying You caught me lying I caught you trying Don't let me catch you lying Lying I caught you lying You caught me trying Don't let me catch you lying Lazy Daisy Lazy Daisy Lazy |

Hey when the need becomes too strong or long
And drawn out for me to take Like a cigarette burn to the fleshy turbines of my heart That faded afternoon floats breezily into my memory Cool shafts of light appear and I'm left here Standing naked on my own Your voice is small on my voice mail system A million miles away But if I turned it off I would not hear the little things you say "The world must chill" And like a king I ring up old acquaintances It's like the man says "I ain't here on business" It's all work anyway On any other day They say the light has got no equal On any other day The date's irrelevant but she was drunk In the heat of the June night The faces in the windows - shouts rang out Into dawn's early light The flailing arms and scrambling eggs I fled On my two shambling legs "I gotta go" I said - they both looked dead On any other day On any other day They say the light has got no equal On any other day On any other day On any other day They say the light has got no equal On any other day The fire blazed away The kitchen porch was all that remained And I'm out here alone - beat up and pissed Until this very day That old hotel rang back in fuzzy time And I was ravaged to the bone Your voice got smaller 'til I realized It was gone On any other day They'd say the light has got no equal On any other day On any other day I swear the light has got no equal On any other day I realize I realize It was gone |

I'm between the lines just one more time
Read it in a book I almost looked In the frozen lake she comes and takes Give up my whole world she's just a girl In my frozen mind I'm stuck in time I can't get past this thing for one more spring See, she fits to me so easily I, I'm borderline almost everytime Give up my whole world She's a translucent girl In my frozen mind I'm lost in time I take one more breath it's worse than death Turn on all the lights alive with fright See, she fits to me too easily I, I'm borderline almost everytime Give up my whole world She's a complicated girl In my frozen mind I'm stuck in time Give up my whole world She's a complicated girl In the frozen lake she comes and takes |

Can't get rid of this blue sun
It's been so long since I've had fun She's wearing a special dress We're in a terrible mess It's been so long since I've been home Since I've had fun I'm coming home I'll be there soon I'll be there soon My retreat's in my head Take back those things that you said I might as well have been dead But I'm staying sane instead I've saved my face Saving grace Saving grace It's been so long since I've been home I'll be there soon, soon, soon My retreat's in my head Take back those things that you said I might as well have been dead But I'm staying sane instead I've saved my face Saving grace Saving grace It's been so long since I've been home Since I've been home I'm coming home I'll be there soon I'll be there soon Yeah, I'm coming home I'll be there soon I'll be there soon Soon |

Leaving
She came along She came a long way to see me She came across snowy fields Baby - I've almost grown somehow I'm in between the coasts But my mind My mind must be back in Boston And you're all above the moon And you're all above the moon I'm lying across the tracks And I'm on the train ride back Slowly - I turned to him and said "Well if I'm not yet dead then surely this must be killing me instead" Turning - I am turning blue In this bar with you but my mind Must be back in San Francisco And you're all above the moon And you're all above the moon I'm lying across the tracks And I'm on the train ride back And I'm in between the cars And I'm in between the stars And you're all above the moon And you're all above the moon Highways - my head is loose at last The radio's on full blast And I'm rolling In a midnight Chevrolet Snowdust - I'm caught dead in the night The stars and fire light The sky a jewel I believe I'm back in Boston And you're all above the moon And you're all above the moon I'm lying across the tracks And I'm on the train ride back And I'm in between the cars And I'm in between the stars And you're all across the moon And you're all above the moon And you're all across the moon And you're all above the moon The Moon |
