I spin off and lose my head
Throwing stray a spark instead Gather strength down in my heel And dig it in the world I peel Way down deep within my heart Lies a soul that's torn apart Tell me, tell me what you're after I just want to get there faster I don't live - I inhale I don't give - I unveil Don't want to live in your misery I don't live - I inhale Sprinkle all my kisses on your head Stars full of wishes fill our beds She said, "I'm dead" All this pain smothers me Like a bomb that you can't see Tell me, tell me what you're after I just want to get there faster I don't live - I inhale I don't give - I unveil I don't live - I inhale I don't live |

No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drown You've traveled very far Just to see you I'll come around When I'm down All of those yesterdays Coming around No matter where you are I can still hear you when you dream You traveled very far You traveled far, like a star And you are All of those yesterdays Coming around Is it something someone said? Was it something someone said? Yesterday the sky was you And I still feel the same Nothing left for me to do And I still feel the same I wish, I wish I could fly I wish, I wish I could lie I will, I will try I will, I will Goodbye |

Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to Cut that little child Inside of me and such a part of you Ooh, the years burn I used to be a little boy So old in my shoes And what i choose is my choice What's a boy supposed to do? The killer in me is the killer in you My love I send this smile over to you Disarm you with a smile And leave you like they left me here To wither in denial The bitterness of one who's left alone Ooh, the years burn Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn I used to be a little boy So old in my shoes And what I choose is my voice What's a boy supposed to do? The killer in me is the killer in you My love I send this smile over to you The killer in me is the killer in you Send this smile over to you The killer in me is the killer in you Send this smile over to you The killer in me is the killer in you Send this smile over to you |

shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
on a live wire right up off the street you and I should meet junebug skipping like a stone with the headlights pointed at the dawn we were sure we'd never see an end to it all and I don't even care to shake these zipper blues and we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess forgotten and absorbed into the earth below double cross the vacant and the bored they're not sure just what we have in the store morphine city slippin dues down to see that we don't even care as restless as we are we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts and poured cement, lamented and assured to the lights and towns below faster than the speed of sound faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope justine never knew the rules, hung down with the freaks and the ghouls no apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it to see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues and we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess forgotten and absorbed into the earth below the street heats the urgency of sound as you can see there's no one around |

(I really don't wanna look stupid when I'm sleeping
I never really liked sunny days The black wings just reach out to me over a distance And i can feel the wind from the wings I see the clouds i feel the ocean with my feet, and I'm home again It requires an ability to judge distance The aeroplane flies high, turns left, looks right) Love is a sentimental heart Life is a sentimental way Spy the fragile heart so cursed As he walks across this earth I'm disconnected by your smile Disconnect a million miles And what you promised me I hope will set you free I'm disconnected by your smile (If I knew where I was going, I would already be there (laugh) I wish I had more time Judicious, beautiful, augmented, whatever I've always been afraid to die, but I think now I'm more afraid to live) And all I gave to you is lost And all you took from me is lost Black wings carry me so high Up to meet you in the sky I'm disconnected by your smile Disconnect a million miles And what you promised me I hope will set you free I'm disconnected by your smile Wishing you were real to me Wishing I could make believe I'll take my secrets to the grave Safely held beneath the waves Always knew I couldn't save Always knew I couldn't save you And in my heart I know you're there And in my heart I know you're here And in my heart I know you're gone |

the words flow
decisions made idea's mine but the inspiration not dreams of hangers-on dreams of getting well spells of esmeralda amarose fortold splinters in the eye sentiments remain bones are never asked where are we going to it was never up to me and yet i pushed until it broke i love the open road and all that it suggests wheelwagon dust weeds and infidelities and always swore our love never questioned why in a wooden house immovable and silent and drinking strawberry wine forever lost in town and through the sleeping streets nightbound and heavy wheels in a spoke just a spoken foreign sound know my gates are high my friends even higher forgotten in my mind yet the scars still lingering cloud the blue skies i'm jealous of you birds was the only truth in a world full of words hear the prairie sound in a friend called neil the heart is pointed down but my spirit pointed up his voice the siren of greek mythology i pause with my pen i begin to defend every action taken every moment sealed when i was quick it coursed through open veins the will to live the urgency to move behind a panel door sealing cherry stain i played my guitar and lived those lonesome notes like a dog that's down in a corner just aside waiting to be called waiting to be yours ghosts of a machine without purpose or will i'll often speak of you but the you was always me 'cause when i speak of me it's me i ask of you so let there be no truth just trickery in rhymes time the only thing waiting still is death i hope for resolution pray one defining moment pause without restraint barren without child a child is who i was a child is who i'll die a child is who i'll die soot in my hair and stars in my hands soot in my hair and stars in my hands soot in my hair and stars in my hands |

the sun has blessed
the rays are gone and all the kids have left their tears and gone home sweet 17, sour 29 and i can't explain myself what i'd hoped to find you were all so kind when i was near and if you're still feeling down then maybe you need me around to love and hold you don't say i hadn't told you so maybe you need me around i had no luck i had no shame i had no cause, just 17 days of rain and you in my eyes just one more song to slay this earth and i can't explain myself just what it's worth it was all i had, but not all i need and i can't escape the fact that i still bleed and if you're still feeling down and if this seems way too loud then maybe you need me around i had no voice i had no drive i had no choice i've done my time i had myself had my band i had my love had no hand in watching it all fall apart and if you're still feeling down then maybe you need me around to lift and scold you to send you crashing alright now maybe you need me around |
