C'mon beautiful we'll go sit on the front lawn
We'll watch the fireflies as the sun goes down They don't live too long, just a flash and then they're gone We'll laugh at them and watch the sun go down You're so pretty baby You're the prettiest thing I know You're so pretty baby Where did you go Tell my why you don't sleep anymore Tell me what you sit up all night waiting for Are you waiting for loneliness to paralyze Are you waiting for Sister Midnight to unleash the tide You're so pretty baby You're the prettiest thing I know You're so pretty baby Where did you go Finish the prayer that started as a kiss The overwhelming dream of happiness I'll give you all of my good luck For the overwhelming dream that's killing us You're so pretty baby You're the prettiest thing I know You're so pretty baby Where did you go C'mon we'll go sit on the front lawn I'll hold you in my arms and we're gone Here and gone, firefly |

She's all dressed up and waiting for a bus
in the hot sunshine She just wants to kill some time But it looks like time's gonna kill her first So she goes to the cocktail lounge to lounge and says "I'm gonna have a real good time." As she sinks into the capitalist chair I don't think that she really cares If somewhere there's people living She finally gets on the bus and sinks next to a very nice lady Who just got out of the hospital She had a major operation The doctor left a knife in her throat And now it picks up radio waves You can turn the dial 'til it comes up in your hand Maybe you'll pick up a populated land Somewhere there's people living C'mon let's go out and really drunk tonight You can be Miss Bottomless pit of 1983 And I can be Mr. Out Like a Light C'mon we got a lot to lose So maybe we can lose it all tonight And then when they shoot us down We won't be around We'll be somewhere where there's people living |

Laughingstock proves that the world is made of rock
That some grow happily on, but that's hard for some You and your friend and all the rest of God's sweet children Never weak, always strong That's hard for some You ask me why You're just a couple of strangers in a bar Giving me the chance to explain myself away Some entertainment to give away In your eyes I see the rest of life just passes by And that's hard for some You ask me why That's your alibi Isn't everything clear No clouds in the sky The laughingstock proves that the world is made of rock That's hard for some |

Well you don't want me to touch you
You just want me to shut up You don't want me to think what I'm thinking Or the devil in my throat to come up And you get so nervous that everything's a joke If I have to be this lonely I may as well be alone So I go back to my room To my room by the freeway I fall onto my bed like snow Like the cold I never woke you And the killing followed me home Hey what's song you whistling If I have to be this lonely I may as well be alone When you wake up in the morning You won't remember that anyone was here And that life is so rewarding And I guess that you're the grand prize my dear When you wake up in the morning You won't remember that anyone was here If I have to be this lonely I may as well be alone |

I sat up all morning
And I waited for you With my blue and grey shirt on Yeah, I thought that's my lucky one And I'll sit and face the road now I don't have a heavy load now I got nothing to keep my hanging around here from now on, From now on Where's the compassion To make your tired heart sing? Because I'm tired of being a spokesman For every tired thing There's nothing in the world outside Just some things that I can see from the side I'm just a shy boy sitting in a house When everyone is gone from now on, From now on I sat up all morning And I waited for you With my blue and grey shirt on, Yeah that's my favorite one I sat up all morning So why didn't you come? Because now I just sing my songs for people that are gone From now on, From now on, From now on, From now on. |

Bad liquor, bad liquor
Who took the good out of the bottle Salt water, salt water The moon, that moon It's the saddest bugger of them all Bad liquor, bad liquor At the bottom of Niagara Falls Bad liquor, bad liquor It's pulling my strings tonight Salt water, salt water There's nothing that I do right And all you people, you people You're the luckiest people of all Bad liquor, bad liquor At the bottom of Niagara Falls Bad liquor, bad liquor It's pulling my strings tonight Salt water, salt water There's nothing that I do right |

I thought there was more life than finishing a dream
I thought gravity helped you to dance but it just makes you sink I stand in the way of people who stopped caring Numb hands and feet and ears long past hearing They sing now you're defeated baby Fall on your face in the divine way Don't worry about anything, no It's just the world having its little way Justice ain't going to be yours tonight You got a pure bright soul but Heaven don't need it Sit on your hands and talk to the friend you never had Angels laugh with joy and they make you scream At the strong open crowd, want the great fight Push up against you and then sustain the right Now you're defeated baby World revolves around you Now you're defeated baby I really showed you Now you're defeated baby Now that you're too big to hold Now you're defeated baby You're worth more to me than gold |

Here you are again
Another stupid party again A celebration for nothing Your eyes are following The kings and the queens of the zoo Immune in their black clothing They let the world down And they let you go Please don't go home now Home is a place to rob Home is alone in the mob Home is an unheard sob Jenny don't go home now Please don't you go home now Here you are again Another stupid party again Everyone here thinks that when they die You will be there to let them in Jenny don't go Please don't go home now |

Time for me to go away
I'll get a new name, I'll get a new face Time for me to go away No I don't belong in this place But I'm not gonna ask you why You think the parade has passed you by Or if everything good is gone into the western sky I hate to see you look that way All the beauty has left your face That's such an easy thing to give away That's impossible to replace So I'll take you in my two weekends And I'll throw you so high Watch you fall forever in the western sky And when you land you'll turn into some kind of prize Into somebody's sweet prize I won't see you no more Who am I to rate that high The world's a shadow of what went before The world gives off none of its own light So please be happy baby And please don't cry Even though the parade has passed us by Well you can still see it shining in the western sky So why won't you stop crying You can still see it shining |

Try and try, leave a trace
And all we ever leave is a sour taste You're half asleep when I crash through I'm like a drop of water on the dry sand I'm a scar across your face I'm an itch that's driving you mad Highway five Takes so much to make us feel like we're alive A weary traveler at a smooth seventy-five Make pretend the landscape ain't so dry Do anything to maintain a lie To the left, a beautiful California landscape Dead ends in the sky And to the right, beautiful mountains rise High and dry Another futile expression of bitterness Another overwhelming sensation of uselessness Make pretend that the landscape ain't so dry Do anything to maintain a lie Make pretend that the lover ain't so barren Though in Los Angeles things like that don't matter Highway five |

Some of them are kind and it's phony
Some of them are kind and it's okay Generous but where's the charity To lose or give away Some of them smile and it's phony Some of them smile and it's not Some of them never tell you Just how much they've got Falling Hey, I don't see the bottom Are you gonna be my last harbor She'll soon find a way to make you feel fine She's laughing and she's clapping her hands As she walks across your cup of wine She'll make it real easy for you All you have to do is remember her name She's almost your passport to the world She's almost your ticket out again Falling Hey, I don't see the bottom Are you gonna be my last harbor Some of them smile and it's phony Some of them smile and it's okay Some of them never tell you Just how much love they'll give away |
