in blizzard of '77
the cars were just lumps on the snow and then later tripping in 7-11 the shelves were stretching out of control on a plane ride the more it shakes the more i have to let go now the signals still getting all mixed up we're always doing damage control but in the middle of the night i worry it's blurry even without light i know i have got a negative edge that's why i sharpen all the others a lot it's like flowers or ladybugs pretty weeds or red beetles with dots (chorus) i miss you more than i knew (repeat) |

I'm just a happy kid
Stuck with the heart of a sad punk Drowning in my id Always searching like it's on junk No matter who I hang out with I can hear the clack-clunk Of the chains that pull the cars up The roller coaster mountain top so high When it comes down it shoots back up Straight back to the sky I gotta laugh and then I'm asleep And then I walk around and wanna cry Out at night to do the strand The little candles make the bottles glow Got ink all over my right hand Getting crushes with no chance to grow It's like I'll never ever land There's always too much sun Or too much snow Chorus: I get slow days and no days I get rusty and it's hard But I get notions and oceans Are coming to my call (interlude) You can learn to get along (x4) Chorus (x1) And I'm just a happy kid Stuck with the heart of a sad punk Drowning in my id Always searching like it's on junk No matter who I hang out with I can hear the clack-clunk Of the chains that pull the cars up The roller coaster mountain top so high When it comes down it shoots back up Straight back to the sky I gotta laugh and then I'm asleep And then I walk around and wanna cry I'm just a happy kid (x4) |

Watching terrible TV, it kills all thought
Getting spacier than an astronaut Making out with people I hardly know or like I can't believe what I do late at night I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I'm standing at the gates I see the beauty above Only when we get to see the aerial view Will the patterns show, we'll know what to do I know the last page so well, I can't read the first So I just don't start, it's getting worse I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I'm standing at the gates I see the beauty above I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I can't find my way in I try again and again I'm on the outside of love Always under or above I can't find my way in I try again and again I'm on the outside of love Always under or above Must be a different view To be a me with a you I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I'm standing at the gates I see the beauty above I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love Of course I'll be alright I just had a bad night I had a bad night |

left some food wrapped up
in a plastic bag on the kitchen table way too long i sat down to eat next to the bag i was too tired to throw it out i saw a swarm of fruit flies i took the bag downstairs when i came back they were still there flying jerky patterns like snowflakes in the air i'm sorry you've got nowhere to go. (X2) left straight right straight i can't find a reason i know i'll keep going but i can't find a reason nothing looks right nothing smells right and i can't land geometric patterns smearing out of control only have enough gas left for the beer can to the bowl what can you do but go on? (X3) oh no you make your own mistakes i cannot bring them back to you oh no you make your own mistakes i cannot measure up to you. (X2) |

Do you ever feel like you just landed on this earth?
You see the creatures all do their dances back and forth You get restless and then you join them on the floor Suddenly it's tomorrow It's not today anymore (X2) Chorus: You talk to the ceiling every day The speakers are shaking Why do i hear you okay? They're playing soul at the wrong speed It sounds right now What are you doing to me? D'you ever feel like what we call real life is not so real? Tripping up on the same old problems you had last year We'll pretend it's another planet not so uptight The stars are shining above the city every night They come every night Chorus (x1) Where are we going? I don't care Our friends all left Let's go anywhere It's getting late I don't care It's just you and me Let's go anywhere |

I'm putting this night down to bed
'cause I was sitting at the bar Hoping you'd walk in the door That says Killian'S red 'cause I left you a note that said Come on out and we'll both get Right off of our heads And float up off the chair We'll go on vacation tonight Under a sun of neon light And I almost love this town When I'm by your side You woke me from a long sleep And I'm almost back Closer than ever To finding the hidden track If I told you the truth You wouldn't like what I said I almost believed I was dead There'll be no more waiting You're gonna melt all the ice in our heads There'll be no more crying You're gonna make it all better instead ... I get secrets at night But they don't stay I get secrets at night But they go away ... |

So quiet
It's neither heaven nor space, it's just high And the ring around the moon looks like light and love Neither of which I get enough of Down there Where alot of people lie, In a deep sleep And months on end go by, in a single week Down there But much too slow Can't you see I'm trying so hard to plug up this hole The air is running out we're sinking much too low And if you sit long enough you can hear ghost trains As if the city speed is just in our brains And coke's close as we get to sugar cane Down there But much too slow Can't you see I'm trying so hard to plug up this hole, The air is running out we're sinking much too low So quiet, So quiet It's neither heaven nor space, It's just high And the ring around the moon Looks like light and love Neither of which I get enough of Neither of which I get enough of |

Movies like zoos
Try another me and I will Try another you Or put my arms around you Like I think you want me to But tell me what you're thinking I so often misconstrue Treading water Treading white wine Seeing borders seeing straight lines I get these feelings that I don't have much time Always rushing always late (x2) Movies like zoos I talk to missionaries when they're standing at my door They tell me what I should be reading I still can't see what for We both stand there politely trying to change each other's core When other angels float by They seem likely to fall from the sky What I want is difficult I must try I see traces when you walk Other voices when you talk When you talk When other angels float by They seem likely to fall from the sky What I want is difficult I must try I see traces when you walk Treading water Treading white wine Seeing borders seeing straight lines I get these feelings that I don't have much time Always rushing always late (x2) always late (x2) I'm always rushing always late (x4) I'm always rushing (x2) always late |

Main:
Sit on a train, reading a book Same damn planet every time I look Try to relax and slow my heartbeat Only works when I'm dead asleep Been thinking and drinking all over the town Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown Chorus: All I am is, a body floating downwind (x2) -What's wrong? -Nothing -Are you sure nothing's wrong? -Yeah -But you're sad about something? -Yeah -So tell me what -I don't know I can't tell you (x4) Chorus (x1) Main (x1) As the express train passes the local It moves by just like a paper boat Although it weighs a million pounds I swear it almost seems to float And as we pass by each other Our heads all full of bother We can't look, we can't stop We can't think, we can't stop Because we're stuck in our own paths And it's the way it always lasts But I need something more from you All I am is, a body floating downwind (x2) floating downwind... |
