Jack'S Mannequin - Everything In Transit (2005) by Jack'S Mannequin (보컬) on maniadb.com

She thinks I'm much too thin
She asks me if I'm sick
What's a girl to do with friends like this?
She lets me drive her car so I can score an eighth
From the lesbians out west in Venice

Oh, California in the summer
Ah, and my hair is growing long
And fuck yeah, we can live like this

But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be a holiday from real
We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun
We'd fry our brains
And say it's so much fun out here
When it's all over
I'll come back for another year

I look for work today
I'm spilling out the door
Put my glasses on so no one sees me
I never thought that I'd be living on your floor
But the rents are high and LA's easy

Oh, it's a picture of perfection
Ah, and the postcard's gonna read
Fuck yeah, we can live like this
We can live like this

But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be a holiday from real
We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun
We'd fry our brains
And write it's so much fun out here

Hey, Madeline (Hey, Madeline)
You sure look fine (You sure look fine)
You wore my favorite sweater
Being poor was never better
A safety buzz (A safety buzz)
Some cheap red wine (Some cheap red wine)
Oh, the trouble we can get in
So let's screw this one up right

But if you left it up to me
If you left it up to me
Everyday would be a holiday from real
We'd waste our weeks beneath the sun
We'd lie and tell our friends
It's so much fun out here
When it's all over
I'll come back for another
When it's all over
I'll come back for another year

This is morning That's when I spend the most time Thinking 'bout what I've given up This is a warning When you start the day Just to close the curtains You're thinking 'bout what I've given up Where are you now? As I'm swimming through the stereo I'm writing you a symphony of sound Where are you now? As I rearrange the songs again This mix could burn a hole in anyone But it was you I was thinking of I read your letter The one you left when you broke into my house Retracing ever step you made And you said you meant it And there's a piece of me in every single Second of every single day But if it's True then tell me how it got this way Where are you now? As I'm swimming through the stereo I'm writing you a symphony of sound Where are you now? As I rearrange the songs again This mix could burn a hole in anyone But it was you I was thinking of And I can't get to you I can't get to you I can't get to you Where are you now? As I'm swimming through the stereo I conduct a symphony of sound Where are you now? As I'm cutting through you track by track I swear to god this mix could sink the sun But it was you I was thinking of And Where are you now? And Where are you now? And this is my mixed tape for her It's like I wrote every note With my own fingers

I've got my things, I'm good to go
You met me at the terminal
Just one more plane ride and it's done

We stood like statues at the gate
Vacation's come and gone too late
There's so much sun where I'm from
I had to give it away, had to give you away

And we spent four days on an
Island at your family's old hotel
Sometimes perfection can be
It can be perfect hell, perfect...

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised

I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle
I take my pills, the babies cry
All I hear is what's playing through
The in-flight radio
Now every word of every song
I ever heard that made me wanna stay
Is what's playing through
The in-flight radio, and I
And I am, finally waking up

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
Don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised, yeah

So read your books, but stay out late
Some nights, some nights, and don't think
That you can't stop by the bar
You haven't shown your face here since the bad news
Well I'm here till close, with fingers crossed
Each night cause your place isn't far

And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah...

Yeah, yeah, she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised, bruised, bruised

(And today was a day Just like any other) I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge Unraveling with every word With every word you say, make me believe That I won't feel your tires on the street As I'm finding the words... you're getting away I come undone, oh yes, I do Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you And every word you say, say something sweet Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth As I'm finding the words... you're getting away Well I'm ready I'm ready to drop Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop I'm ready so don't stop, Keep pushing I'm ready to fall, Oh, I'm ready I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call I am aware, I've been misled I disconnect my heart, my head Don't wanna recognize when things go bad The things that you'll accept Except that I am finding the words... to say I'm ready, I'm ready to drop Oh oh oh oh oh, I'm ready I'm ready so don't stop I'm ready so don't stop (I wake up to find it's another Four aspirin morning, and I dive in I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday. When did society decide that we had to change And wash a tee shirt after every individual use : If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it. I take the stairs to the car And there's fog on the windows. (And I'm Fighting the words....) I need caffeine in my blood stream, I take caffeine in the blood stream. I grip the wheel and all at once I realize : (And you're getting away...) My life has become a boring pop song And everyone's singing along.) Well, I'm ready, to drop, well, I'm ready I'm ready so don't stop, oh Well, keep pushing, I'm ready to fall Well, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't call I'm ready so don't call, oh....oh....oh......

Guess what, I'm done writing you songs
You give up your job at the bank
Proving money's not fun when you're gone
So this is the first verse
It's not very long
But I'm ready to move on

Guess what, I'm done writing your book
The ending got twisted around
But for all of the hell that it took
The electrical wires
That hung on the walls
In the room that I rent now

Without you I've got friends who (La, la, lie)
Will help me pull through (la, la, la, lie, la, la, lie)
A spaceman that can't get high
I'm comming back to my girl by July
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's right

So guess what, I'm done drawing your pictures
I'm dulling the day with a drink
In the parking garage by the theater
We met for a movie
Every scene was a sign
We made out through their meaning

Well I've got friends who (la, la, lie)
Will help me pull through (la, la, la, lie, la, la, lie)
A spaceman that can't get high
I'm comming back to my girl by July
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Guess what, I'm done writing you songs
Far too unstable to settle
I doubt that the doctors are wrong
So I'll wait by a palm tree
A palm tree, a palm tree

Well I've got friends (la, la, lie)
To help me pull through (la, la, la, lie, la, la, lie)
A spaceman that can't get high
I'm comming back to my girl by July

(Well I've got friends who) La, la, lie
Friends to help me pull through (la, la, la, lie, la, la, lie)
The song for a long goodbye
I'm comming back, I'm comming back to my girl (la, la, la, lie)
Back to my girl (la, la, la, lie, la, la, lie)
The song for a long goodbye
I'm comming back to my girl by July

I have, I have you breathing down my neck, breathing down my neck I don't, don't know what you could possibly expect under this condition so I'll wait, I'll wait for the ambulance to come, ambulance to come Pick us up off the floor what did you possibly expect under this condition so Slow down, this nights a perfect shade of Dark blue, dark blue Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you I said the world could be burning and burning down Dark blue, dark blue Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you I said the world could be burning 'tll there's nothing but dark blue Just dark blue And this Flood, this flood is slowly rising up, swallowing the ground Beneath, my feet. Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition so I'll swim, I'll swim as the water rises up sun is sinking down and now All I can see are the planets in a row suggesting it's best that I Slow down this nights a perfect shade of Dark blue, dark blue Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you I said the world could be burning and burning down Dark blue, dark blue Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you I said the world could be burning dark blue We were boxing, we were boxing the stars we were boxing(we were boxing) you were swinging for Mars And then the water reached the west coast And took the power lines, the power lines And it was me and you ( at your hotel) and the whole town underwater There was nothing we could do And it was dark blue Dark blue, dark blue Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you I said the world could be burning and burning down Dark blue (dark blue...) Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you I said the world could be burning now there's nothing but dark blue If you're ever been alone you'll know dark blue If you're ever been alone you'll know, you'll know

Finally, I'm letting go of all my downer thoughts
In no time there'll be one less sad robot
Looking for a chance to be something more than just metal
Now I'm going part time with a film projectionist
And she's the vinyl queen from the surfer dream
She likes the beach boys more than radio metal
And she's so good
But she's no good for me

Oh, Miss Delaney
Whats the matter?
You waited by the window
(You waited by the window)
I waited by the door
Oh, Miss Delaney
Wheres your boyfriend?
He isn't up in heaven
So why treat him like he's dead?
Like he's...

It's not that everyday
Everyday is comming up with the green grass
But the times pass
When I think of you whenever I'm at dinner

Finally, I've found someone to duel this lonely sea
I don't spend my nights searching for earthquakes
Oh, it's biblical how fucked my sleep can be
But she won't sleep with me

Oh, Miss Delaney
Whats the matter?
You waited by the window
Waited by the window
I waited by the door
Oh, Miss Delaney
Wheres your boyfriend?
No, he isn't up in heaven
So why treat him like he's dead?
Like he's dead, like he's dead

From here you can't find everything
Erin, I would never lie to you

Oh, Miss Delaney, Miss Delaney
Whatcha sad for?
Well, you waited by the window
And I was kicking down your door
Oh, Miss Delaney
Wheres your boyfriend? Wheres your boyfriend?
He isn't up in heaven
So why treat him like he's dead?
Oh, Miss Delaney

Oh my god, this hurts like hell
I had that dream again
Where I was lost for good in outer space
Tell me, doctor, how to shake
A waking nightmare that is only worse
When I am sleeping

Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someone I used to know
And get to church cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send alittle rain your way
I'm gonna send alittle rain...

It's not so easy, caving in
I walked by your appartment twice today
While you were gone at work
And all the colours got so down
It's not as cold out here
But come quick, I am losing feeling

Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someone I used to know
And get to church cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that leaves me locked up here forever
I'm gonna send alittle rain your way
I'm gonna send alittle rain, send alittle rain

I'm gonna send alittle rain
To pour down on you
Rain that makes the flowers bloom
Rain to leave you all alone
But keeps eyelashes falling
The rest is washed away

Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someone I used to know
And get to church cause you're a good girl
And he never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send alittle rain your way
I'm gonna send alittle rain, send alittle rain
I'm gonna send alittle rain
I'm gonna send alittle rain your way
I'm gonna send alittle rain
I'm gonna send alittle rain

Two to one
Static to the sound of you and I
Undone for the last time
And there this was
Hiding at the bottom of your
Swimming pool some September
And don't you think
I wish that I could stay

Your lips give you away
I can hear it, a jet engine
Through the center of the storm
And I'm thinking I'd
Prefer not to be rescued

Two to none
Roads that lead away from this
I'm following myself just this once
And I got spun
It appears you're spun as well
It happens when you pay attention
This could take all year, but

When it's quiet, does she hear me?
A jet is sent to the
Center of the storm
And I'm thinking I'd
Prefer not to be rescued

And ohh-oh, I can feel her, she's dying
Just to keep me cool
I'm finally numb, so please
Don't get me rescued... rescued...

And it's unclear
But this may be my last song
Ohh-Oh, I, I can tell
She's raising hell to give to me
But she got me warm
So please don't get me rescued

And ohhh-oh, say you'll miss me (say you'll miss me) one last time
I'll be strong, but whatever you do
Please don't get me rescued...

Cause I'm feeling like
I might need to be near you
And I feel alright, so please
Don't get me rescued...
