Say you were split, you were split in fragments
And none of the pieces would talk to you Wouldn't you want to be who you had been Well, baby I want that too So better take the keys and drive forever Staying won't put these futures back together All the perfect drugs and superheroes Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero Baby, you're great, you've been more than patient Saying it's not a catastrophe But I'm not the girl you once put your faith in Just someone who looks like me So better take the keys and drive forever Staying won't put these futures back together All the perfect drugs and superheroes Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero So get out while you can Get out while you can Baby I'm pouring quicksand And sinking is all I had planned So better just go Oh better take the keys and drive forever Staying won't put these futures back together All the perfect drugs and superheroes Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put baby together again All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put baby together again |

The monkey knows how you'll react
Creating want by holding back Like some reverse pyromaniac Let me try, baby, try I propped my window up and then I turned my back to lure you in To rifle through what I might have been Let me try, baby, try Baby please, let me begin Let me be your heroin Hate the sinner but love the sin Let me be your heroin We have crossed the Rubicon Our ship awash, our rudder gone The rats have fled but I'm hanging on Let me try, baby, try Baby please, let me begin Let me be your heroin Hate the sinner but love the sin Let me be your heroin |

Lost in space
A bubble drifting Into a place Where planets shift and The moon's erased Its features lift in the glare But I'm the stuff Of happy endings Though mostly bluff Belief suspending But close enough For just pretending to care And I'm pretending to care When I'm not even there Gone, but I don't know where Well, she's the face And I'm the double Who keeps the pace And clears the rubble And, lost in space Fills up the bubble with air By just pretending to care Like I'm not even there Gone, but I don't know where You split like a cell And then cannot tell The line from its parallel So baby, beware I'm just pretending to care Like I'm not even there Gone, but I don't know where Gone, but I don't know where Gone, but I don't know where |

This is how it goes
You'll get angry at yourself And think you can think of something else And I'll hear the clanging of the bells 'Cause I can't stop you baby... 'Cause I don't have the bribery in place No bright shiny surface to my face So I won't go near the market place With what I'm selling lately 'Cause this is how it goes 'Cause it's all about drugs It's all about shame And whatever they want Don't tell 'em your name This is how it goes: One more failure to connect With so many how could I object? And you, what on earth did you expect? Well, I can't tell you, baby When this is how it goes 'Cause it's all about drugs It's all about shame And whatever they want Don't tell 'em your name So I'll try to hold on While you try to let go You won't tell me it's gone But, baby, I'll know Baby, I'll know Baby, I'll know |

Guys like me
We don't know how it feels Absentee Even closing the deal With every player there's a payoff in the final reel But never with guys like me Cause guys like me We look good at the gate But you'll agree With the odds on the slate And put your money on a bona-fide heavyweight And take it off guys like me Take off guys like me They'll pull you close but never really Looking warm but feeling chilly You'll describe us as "impassioned" When it's just a front we've fashion Cause guys like me We all vow to become Clear and free of the fife and the drum And block the circulation till we're all completely numb Let's hear it for guys like me Let's hear it for guys like me Let's hear it for guys Guys like me |

Oh Mario, sit here by the window
Stay here 'til we reach Idaho And when we go Hold my hand on take-off Tell me what I already know That we can't talk about it No, we can't talk about it Because nobody knows That's how I nearly fell Trading clothes And ringing Pavlov's Bell History shows There's not a chance in hell, but Oh Mario. we're only to Ohio It's kinda getting harder to breathe I won't let it show I'm all about denial But can't denial let me believe? That we could talk about it But we can't talk about it Because nobody knows That's how I nearly fell Trading clothes And ringing Pavlov's Bell History shows but rarely shows it well Well, well, well Oh Mario, why if this is nothing I'm finding it so hard to dismiss If you're what I need, Then only you can save me So come on baby. give me the fix And let's just talk about it I've got to talk about it Because nobody knows That's how I nearly fell Trading clothes And ringing Pavlov's Bell History shows Like it was show and tell So tell me That's how I nearly fell By ringing Pavlov's Bell So, baby, show and tell Oh Mario, Mario |

You don't know, so don't say you do--
You don't You might think that things will change, But take my word-- They won't You paint a lovely picture, But reality intrudes With a message for you And it's real bad news I was undecided like you At first But I could not stem the tide of overwhelm And thirst You try to keep it going, but a lot of avenues Just aren't open to you When you're real bad news I've got love and anger They come as a pair You can take your chances But buyer beware And I won't Make you feel bad When I show you This big ball of sad isn't Worth even filling with air And baby, let me tell you You can get some things confused Like whose secrets are whose And that's real bad news Real bad news Real bad news |

There comes a time when you swim or sink
So I jumped in the drink 'Cause I couldn't make myself clear Maybe I wrote in invisible ink Oh, I've tried to think How I could have made it appear But another illustration is wasted 'Cause the results are the same I feel like a ghost who's trying to move your hands Over some Ouija board in the hopes I can spell out my name What some take for magic at first glance Is just sleight-of-hand depending on what you believe Something gets lost when you translate It's hard to keep straight Perspective is everything And I know now which is which and what angle I oughta look at it from I suppose I should be happy to be misread Better be that than some of the other things I have become But nobody wants to hear this tale The plot is cliched, the jokes are stale And baby we've all heard it all before Oh, I could get specific but Nobody needs a catalog With details of love I can't sell anymore And aside from that, this chain of reaction, Baby, is losing a link Though I'd hope you'd know what I tried to tell you And if you don't I could draw you a picture in invisible ink But nobody wants to hear this tale The plot is cliched, the jokes are stale And baby we've all heard it all before Oh, I could get specific but Nobody needs a catalog With details of love I can't sell anymore |

Better pack your bags and run
Or stay until the job is done Or maybe you can sit and hope That providence will fray the rope And sink like a stone Or go it alone And isn't it enough - for you? Isn't it enough? So better pack your bags and run And send it to oblivion Where you don't look like anyone That anyone would care about And do what you do 'Til it buries you And isn't it enough - for you? Isn't it enough? And baby - isn't it enough? Like Major Reno at the bluff Wondering aloud if help is on the way And baby, isn't this your chance To make a break with circumstance Isn't it enough to prove today's the day? Isn't it enough to prove today's the day? |

I keep going round and round on the same old circuit
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot Where something I can't see interupts the current And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot And from behind the screen, it can look so perfect But it's not So here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light I keep waiting for a change, but I don't know what So red turns into green turning into yellow But I'm just frozen here on the same old spot And all I have to do is to press the pedal But I'm not No, I'm not People are tricky, you can't afford to show Anything risky, anything they don't know The moment you try, well, kiss it goodbye So baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator And let me fall into the dream of the astronaut Where I get lost in space that goes on forever And you make all the rest just an afterthought And I believe it's you who could make it better though it's not No, it's not No, it's not |
