Sweep the dirty stairs
The ones I waited on This is just for me I felt it watching her It happens too fast To make sense of it Make it last Where do you intend To go with a dirty dress? Lead my skeptic sight To the table and the light Not asking of me anything Saying nothing about what it means Without anybody telling me How I should feel What I should do |

This time it's on my own
Minutes from somewhere else Somewhere I made a wish With lucky Denver mints You're not bigger than this, not better Why can't you learn? Hurry, go on ahead Good things won't let you wait I'll catch up when we get home At home I'll leave A dollar under water Keeps on dreaming for me |

We're lowering the standard in a process selective
The formula's too thin But it takes more than one person, so everyone jump on I'll miss you when you're just like them Imitate and water down, selection breathes on its own Before the crash I'll write it out: selection breathes on its own Make them open the request line and let selection kill the old Take back the radio I remember back then thinking: Easy comes but doesn't stay, what comes easy never stays But the politics need means and business never leaves You better sing now while you can |

Don't bother going through your motions
Nothing that makes sense ever works out Don't kid yourself, you know they want money Nothing can be good on its own, its own merit Spinning and spinning Do you believe in what you want? Dancing, in plastic shake-up snow Do you believe in what you want? Put your trust in simple acts Make the flyers get them up all over town Don't kid yourself, you know it's for money Please keep in sight what makes you care, you have it always Your camera flash On us, meaningless You cannot waste a single night What you ignore is priceless to me |

On a Sunday I'll think it through.
On the drive back I'll think it through. What you wish for won't come true. Live with that, with that. And on a Sunday she thought it through. Now as I drive back, there's thiry-six less hours I have to change the course I send myself. I've gotta live with that, with that. The haze clears from your eyes, on a Sunday. The haze clears from your eyes, on a Sunday, on a Sunday. On a Sunday go once around. Because when the rides done, the hopes that you have carried, they fall out from your hands back to the ground. Live with that, with that. They fall out from your hands back to the ground. Baby, live with that, with that. The haze clears from your eyes, on a Sunday. The haze clears from your eyes, on a Sunday, on a Sunday. Learn as the drugs leave. Learn as you lose it. You will. Learn as the drugs leave. Learn as you lose it. You will. And the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday. The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday, on a Sunday. Yeah, the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday, on a Sunday. Yeah, the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday, on a Sunday, on a Sunday. |

Faintest snow keep falling, falling
Hands around your waist Nameless, standing cold, standing cold Like a breath, like a breath Take in restraint like a breath My lungs are so numb from holding back Walk close to the fence Feel it hit your clothes Turn and smile nice Smile, say good night, say good night In a breath, in a breath Simple discourse breaks you clean... Simple discourse breaks you clean in half Regret to try it once But then you know it's your move Settle for less again Again |

We left behind the busy crowd
So it seems we slow down Meet me with a way out through the lies Nowhere, going nowhere in the fake yellow light Blame no one, blame no one The feelings change so fast Safety scares them away I can't bring myself to say it, it's my own advice I need Nowhere and then nowhere, living trapped inside the chase Blame no one, blame no one (so blame no one, would you look in my eyes and) Blame no one, blame no one Our weakness is the same We need poison sometimes So take another drink with me Blame no one, blame no one (so blame no one, could you look in my eyes and) Blame no one, blame no one |

Here
You can be anything Anything that scares you I think that scares you Here I've been here before But only by myself Myself I promised I'd see it again I promised I'd see this with you now What giving up gives you And where giving up takes you I've had and I've been Here, in center frame Here, there's only air And just enough space to fit I said, said, said it out loud Over and over I said, said, said it out loud But what do I know? I said, said, said it out loud Over and over I said, said, said it out loud Over and over I said, said, said it out loud But it does not help I'll stop now, just so I can hear you I stay up as late as it takes |

The first star I see may not be a star
We can't do a thing but wait So let's wait for one more And the time's such clumsy time In deciding if it's time I'm careful but not sure how it goes You can lose yourself in your courage When the time we have now ends When the big hand goes round again Can you still feel the butterflies? Can you still hear the last goodnight? And the mindless comfort grows When I'm alone with my big plans And this is what she said gets her through it If I don't let myself be happy now then when? If not now when? When the time we have now ends When the big hand goes round again Can you still feel the butterflies? Can you still hear the last goodnight? I close my eyes and believe Wherever you are, angel |

Take advantage of these times, you said
You let me down It hasn't been the first time As I'm falling in the pit of fire My mind's made up I'm never coming back here And how long would it take me To walk across the United States, all alone? The west coast has been traumatized And I think I'm the only one still alive Is it just a coincidence To see you by yourself with no direction? Now it's time to move on And don't you know that things aren't getting better? When the world caves in What'cha gonna do? When the world caves in What'cha gonna do for me? Don't try and stop me Because I'm falling fast Into this pit of fire which surrounds us all In a blanket of fear that I've been wrapped in for years Don't try to stop me You can't stop me |

I'll take your words
As if you were talking to me So say what I know you'll say Say it through your teeth Now In the deep and down Your heart moves Now In the deep and down I don't know how but I know I want out Wait for something better Will I know when it can be us? Wait for something better Maybe that doesn't mean us Wait for something better I shouldn't, it's not enough Pull one excuse from another And with pride keep every failure in And with pride Hold on to your sinking Pull one excuse from another This time it means stop Pull one excuse from another This time it means us |

"Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest?"
Like all the rest So full of faith yet full of doubt I ask Again I shall ask you this once again He said "I am but one small instrument" Do you remember that? Time and time again you said "don't be afraid" The only voice I want to hear is yours So here I am above palm trees So straight and tall You are smaller, gettin' smaller But I still see you |
