All of the sudden she disappears just yesterday she was here somebody tell me if I am sleeping someone should be with me here (cause I don't wanna be alone) I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand and I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult What a big baby won't somebody save me please You won't find nobody home all of these quiet battered voices wait for the hunger to come we got little revolvers and stupid choices and no one to say when we're done (Well I don't wanna bring you down) I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes `cause I know there's little things about me that would sing in the silence of so much rejection in every connection I make I can't find nobody home I wanna be the last thing you hear when you're falling asleep.... |

Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand? I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now Where'd you come from? Where am I going? Why'd you leave me 'till I'm only good for ... Waiting for you All my sins ... I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming Every night these silhouettes appear above my head Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed and whisper Every time I fall asleep Every time I dream Did you come? Would you lie? Why'd you leave us 'till we're only good for ... Waiting for you All my sins ... I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book Suck my blood break my nerve offer me their arms Well, I will not be an enemy of anything I'll only stand here Waiting for you All my sins ... I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming I'm gone, I'm gone, I'll leave the day I'm gone I'm gone, I'm gone, take me away I'm gone, I'm gone, I'll leave the day I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone I'm gone |

Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive Well I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you It's getting cold in California I guess I'll be leaving soon Daylight fading Come and waste another year All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn When we see the early signs that daylight's fading We leave just before it's gone She said "everybody loves you," she says, "everybody cares" But all the things I keep inside myself they vanish in the air If you tell me that you'll wait for me I'll say I won't be here I want to say goodbye to you Goodbye to all my friends Goodbye to everyone I know Daylight fading Come and waste another year All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn When we see the early signs that daylight's fading We leave just before it's gone Daylight fading Come and waste another year All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn When we see the early signs that daylight's fading We leave just before it's gone |

She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping She comes to me when I'm alone She comes to me She holds my head when I'm crying She comes to me She shuts my eyes She brings me home But I'm not sleeping anymore She tells me when you look at me She tells me when you're lying She tells me when you talk about me She lays me on the floor She tells me when you're whispering She lies beside me naked She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors But I'm not sleeping anymore 1-2-3-4-5-6-7a.m. All alone again But I've been through all this shit before Spend my nights in self defense Cry about my innocence But I ain't all that innocent anymore I see her on the TV I see her in the movies I see her in these animals that dance inside my head I'll follow you down baby Down into this valley I'll follow you down baby But I won't come up again But I'm not sleeping anymore |

Get away from me this isn't gonna be easy but I don't need you believe me you got a piece of me but it's just a little piece of me and I don't need anyone and these days I feel like I'm fading away like sometimes when I hear myself on the radio Have you seen me lately? I was out on the radio starting to change somewhere out in America it's starting to rain could you tell me the things you remember about me and have you seen me lately? I remember me and all the little things that make up a memory like she said she loved to watch me sleep like she said, "it's the breathing it's the breathing in and out and in and..." Have you seen me lately? |

Miller's angels in black and white Welcome everyone in Children dreaming of wrong and right Wrapped in grace and in sin They come out of the blue sky They come out of the blue They come out of the blue sky But you never know where they're gonna go Hey romeo Miller's fingers are traveling down the length of her thigh But Miller's mind is still wandering Staring up at the sky They come out of the blue sky They come out of the blue They come out of the blue sky But you never know where they're gonna go Hey romeo Don't come around here Miller's angels are hovering in between the earth and the sun In the shadow of god's unwavering love I am a fortunate son They come out of the blue sky They come out of the blue They come out of the blue sky But you never know where they're gonna go Hey romeo (for Sean & me) |

Margery's dreaming of the middle of the day Tiyuri to win Perfect Dozen to place money is the matter that's been on her mind time ticks by her one race at a time She's tryin' to be a good girl And give 'em what they want But Margery's dreaming of horses Lookin' at a green sky Sun like a red eye Bright blue horses are the fortune she lives by She's tired and lonely Scared and depressed Her visions of one day go racing the next She's trying to be a good girl And give 'em what they want But Margery's dreaming of horses Margie doesn't say anything all the way home So afraid she'll awake to find she's all alone Margery's wingspan's all feathers and coke cans, and TV dinners and letters she won't send, and Every race night is shot through with sunlight Trying to hit the big one one last time tonight for... Drunken fathers and stupid mothers and Boys who can't tell one girl from another So she takes her pills Careful and round One of these days she's gonna throw the whole bottle down But she's trying to be a good girl And give 'em what they want But Margery's dreaming of... Trying to be a good girl And give 'em what they want But Margery's dreaming of horses |

Gonna get back to basics Guess I'll start it up again I'm falling' from the ceiling You're falling from the sky now and then Maybe you were shot down in pieces Maybe I slipped in between But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see Just you and me So why'd you come home to this sleepless town It's a lifetime commitment Recovering the satellites All anybody really wants to know is ... When you gonna come down Your mother recognizes all you're desperate displays And she watches as her babies drift violently away 'Til they see themselves in telescopes Do you see yourself in me? We're such crazy babies, little monkey We're so fucked up, you and me So why'd you come home to this faithless town Where we make a lifetime commitment To recovering the satellites And all anybody really wants to know is ... When are you gonna come down She sees shooting stars and comet tails She's got heaven in her eyes She says I don't need to be an angel But I'm nothing if I'm not this high But we only stay in orbit For a moment of time And then you're everybody's satellite I wish that you were mine So why'd you come home to this angels town It's a lifetime decision Recovering the satellites Everybody really knows for sure ... That you're gonna come down That you're gonna come down |

Got nowhere but home to go Got Ben Folds on my radio right now I'm in trouble for the things I need Hey monkey don't you want to be needed too? Hey monkey, where you been? This lonely spiral I've been in Hey monkey, when can we begin? Hey monkey, where you been? |

She is trapped inside a month of grey And they take a little every day She is a victim of her own responses Shackled to a heart that wants to settle And then runs away It's a sin to be fading endlessly Yeah, but she's alright with me She is leaving on a walkaway She is leaving me in disarray In the absence of a place to be She stands there looking back at me Hesitates, and then turns away She'll change so suddenly She's just like mercury Yeah, but she's alright with me Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds For the things that die before their time For the restlessly abandoned homes The tired and weary rambler's bones And stay beside me where I lie She's entwined in me Crazy as can be Yeah, but she's alright with me |

A long December and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin' Now the days go by so fast And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would The smell of hospitals in winter And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls All at once you look across a crowded room To see the way that light attaches to a girl And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think you might come to California...I think you should Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m. And talked a little while about the year I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower, Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself To hold on to these moments as they pass And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should |
