I hope you don't listen to me
I don't always say what I'm thinking And sometimes I'll tell you, What I think you want to hear Most times I just talk to make a sound I wish I was here I wish I was anywhere I broke down the door to my house When I lost the keys Everything I have Has been lost, or stolen Even my good friends Have stopped coming around Since I started wearing my dragon hat I wish I was here I wish I was anywhere Where i might feel Where I might reach out to you There's a dead heart Lyin' on my doorstep I used to think I'd pick it up And use it once in a while Now I step around I step around it And try not to notice Well I see it, but mostly I don't care I wish I was here I wish I was anywhere Where I might feel Where I might reach out for you But I think you know now It's just not that easy Well I hope, you don't follow me down Cuz I never look, where I'm jumping And everyone comes along And winds up dead or broken But my rubber legs always seem to save me I wish I was here I wish I was anywhere Where I might feel Where I might see you And I think I know now That I just don't get better I'd rather die Than say I was wrong I hope you don't listen to me Cuz I never think before speaking |

Don't look now,
things just got worse I'm drunk again, I swear this crescentis just a curse I got here by killing off all my friends I think I figured it out - my life begins when the fun ends I've got my wings, I'm free to go as I please Yeah, I got my wings, now nothing really pleases me 'til Everything falls apart, then I get to try to put it back together Everything falls apart, and you can count on that like you can count on bad, bad weather again Was it good? I don't remember much about it When things start to feel right, you can count on me to start to doubt it The devil's not in the details, the devil is in my hands It's shoot first, apologize later, another quick end to a short shod romance I got what I wanted, now I don't want anything I got what I wanted, now my life is just boring 'til Everything falls apart, then I get to try to put it back together Everything falls apart and you can count on that, you can count on bad, bad weather this year I met God this afternoon Riding on an uptown train I said "Don't you have better things to do?" He said, "If I do my job, what would you complain about?" So I let it go to Hell, now I'll have something to do I let it go to Hell, does that sound familiar to you? Everything falls apart, then I get to try to put it back together Everything falls apart and you can count on that,you can count on bad, bad weather Everything that falls apart, sooner or later gonna come back together Everything that comes together, sooner or later falls apart |

Here we go again
With your hair in your face My head in my hands Hoping to find something That we've never known Looking like two little kids With our wide eyes, slow tenderness Asking,saying things that we always do When we're feeling we've been cheated Of something we deserve Then these small wonders Keep us awake at night These small wonders Hold us down the ground And show us who we are Walking side by side With our fear,our hope,our love,and our pride Two steps forward, no looking back Every chance to fall through Then its one look and the world becomes you Untouched, we know we're on our way When we're feeling we've been wasted By too much time inside Then these small wonders They keep us awake at night These small wonders Hold us down to the ground And show us who we are Just when we know we've heard it all before The world comes screaming through our door These small wonders, these wmall wonders (here we go again Your hair my face you head my hands My clumsy hands) |

Well it feels a little like a landscape
And it sounds a lot like time passing by As I watch through a window asking When will I get mine? The prince's favorite son was left sitting on a car hood With a paper tiger that he used to play with And a picture of his father whose memory was a whisper That sang to him daily as he ran away You know it started out so simply then it caught him in confusion As he pulled his head back, he looked around Said it takes so long just to get to where you're going When you start out spinning and then they would let you fall down But he said it feels a little like a landscape And it sounds a lot like time passing by As I watch through a window asking When will I get mine? With a dog's eye view it's a world full of hydrants And passing feet you never get the whole scene You read 429 books about a better world But you wake up early and you still don't know what they mean Well I'm standing in America and I'm swimming in this whirlpool My head's above but you know there's water in my eyes 'Cause it took 23 years to get this stupid asking When will I get wise? And it still feels a little like a landscape And it still sounds a lot like time passing by As I watch through a window asking When will I, when will I, when, when, when When will I get mine? |

I never meant to kick your mouth I was afraid, didn't want to hear Those words come out We agreed it was nothing I thought we agreed We would never get attached Now here we are tied at the head Wasn't it you, who said, "Love was useless?" Hey, wasn't it you said, "Love was like driving south?" Well we start out thirsty And wind up with Cottonmouth Abigail, knows Birmingham like The back of a handsome man All curves leading nowhere Because they can She gets bored sometimes All you know is she'll follow them around for a while And try to reach Heading somewhere near She says, "Wasn't it you who said love was useless?" Wasn't it you said, "Love was like driving south?" Well, we start out thirsty And wind up with cottonmouth, cottonmouth Abigail, I was thirsty I could've sworn you were a cup of water You poured out your heart I drank it, now I'm just feeling sick The scenery keeps changing But the same sad plot Keeps repeating And I always wind up, I always wind up leaving you Wasn't it you, who said, "Love was useless?" Wasn't it you, who said, "Love was useless?" I think it might have been me, who said, "Love was like driving south" Well we start out thirsty, Abigail, we always start out thirsty Yeah, well we start out thirsty and wind up with cottonmouth Abigail, I'm sorry Abigail, I'm sorry I got a bad taste in my mouth I can't sing it [Incomprehensible] I'm sorry Abigail, I'm sorry Abigail, I'm sorry Abigail, I'm sorry Abigail |

We used to live so right
We used to shine, she said Now you just work all day And i just stay in bed Dreaming of singing another song And dreaming of flying Knowing it can't, it won't be long Before i just float away I come from the cradle I'm going to the grave Like everybody else has I made the same old sins Made the same mistakes like everybody else has I'm going haywire Count me out of your prized possessions Cut me down with your best intentions And listen to me laughing I come from the cradle I'm going to the grave Like everybody else has I'm going haywire Hey,why not I'm going haywire What do i have to lose? Drop my clothes In the closest ocean And set me sailing You don't have to tell me Where i'm going Just please don't make me stay I'm going haywire Hey,why not I'm going haywire What do i have to lose? |

Would you be willing
To take me for my word? If I told you I was falling If I told you things I'm sure you've heard Would you stand up and walk away? Would you state your name? Please don't laugh at what I say Well, I'm singing you this love song I'm sure somebody's sang for someone else And I know there's nothing new about it Except maybe I haven't felt this way So don't stand up and walk away Please just state your name Don't laugh at what I say Your name Well, it's hard for me to say things Without joking around and around and around And it's hard for me to look at you Without feeling like I've been drowning at sea So please don't stand up and walk away Just state your name Please don't laugh at what I say Your name Would you be willing? Your name Would you be willing? |

All the letters I ever wrote you,
And some of them I even sent All this time we've been waiting For this moment to arrive And now it's here Now I know I could kiss you, But before I do Do we want to let go Of this magic, And let it turn to truth From mystery, Let all this hope be history And it's as fast as fear, As it cuts away the sound And slaps you when you're smiling Just how easily you lose Everything you've found At the speed of silence When you told me you loved me, And I didn't say a word I said I was sorry And you pretended You never heard at all It's funny how the tears Can well up, But neither of us ever drown How many times We bring the sun up, sure It won't fall down And there it goes And leaves us staring At our toes It's the way the wind blows the water But nothing underneath it moves When I asked you what you wanted You didn't speak and then I knew Everything was ruined again |

There are no angels
Only patronizing saints Who would gladly keep you out of trouble But never let you forget that you came There are no favors There are no truly kind deeds It's just pay now and pay more later And we'll help you get what you need And when I find myself in times of trouble I usually give up Nothing to win Nothing to lose I'll just wish you luck There are no rules here Just piles of mistakes That we say we've learned from Then we go ahead and make And faith is a lazy way of trying To get what we want Without ever doing anything at all To help bring it along And when i find myself in times of trouble I usually give up Nothing to win And nothing to lose I'll just wish you luck And did i want the freedom to be myself? Or the freedom to fuck around Did I just want the freedom to fail without bringing you down? I thought I loved you, But now I know I was just confused And going through the emotions Until we were both completely bruised I hope I'm happy Because we both know I'm not kind I just keep kicking up my heels Without thinking of you standing behind me And when i find myself in times of trouble I usually give up Nothing to win And nothing to lose You know it just gets hard to choose And when I find myself in times of trouble Always just give up And I don't know what to tell you, Well I know what I'd like to tell you I'd like to call you up and tell you What I know now What I know now, What I know... |

Send a letter home to your mother
And tell her who you've been. Don't ask for money or a favor, Just an old blue blanket That you can lay your head in 'Cause there's a pen in your hand That won't talk sense anymore There's a ceiling fan Showing movies on the floor There's a gun on the table Telling jokes about your friends, And the chairs are all laughing At this night that never ends Things are subject to change As days go by Things are subject to change tonight Take a long fall out of this slow game And blow a kiss hello good-bye By any other nick name Is "You knew me then, Now watch me go There's a picture on the wall That looks a lot like home There's a story you tell, And you wish it was your own There's a girl you met who says She's seen you before And there's a letter that you left Says that's not you anymore You were never very clever Walking straight lines Down a curved road Whisper, laugh and shout At every other pleasure 'Til you closed your eyes And disappeared without a trace |

Would you fuck yourself for money
Would you kill me for my own good Would you slap your sister if she asked you to I've seen your work, I guess you would Your here waiting for the rapture You best staying overnight Hey are you coming 'round Hey are you coming 'round Hey are you coming 'round Thought you might. You you're bulletproof and bleeding Say your dirty, now your not And you walk around town with your Jackie-O halo And that's all you got People like you is that all you will ever need Your here waiting for the rapture And me I'm praying there's a dawn Hey are you coming 'round Hey are you coming 'round Hey are you coming 'round Or are you gone. Everybody loves the man on a cliff Some hope for heroes Most of us beg for blood We all stay to see if he falls Noone stays to pick him up Much too busy for his rapture We can catch it on the news tonight instead, yea Hey are you coming 'round Hey are you coming 'round Hey are you coming 'round Or are you dead Or are you dead I heard you were dying Think it might be true I heard you were dying Good for you I hope you're dead I hope you're dead |

You cut off your toes so you might walk a little more slowly
You cut out your tongue so you couldn't say anything wrong You held yourself up to the light so you might be forgiven You held yourself up to the light and you just disappeared Now you've got a heart You've got an open window that you can't get through There's light coming in You're sitting there wondering why you don't shine You stayed in all night hoping somebody might miss you You stayed by the phone while nobody called You put on a smile so you wouldn't make yourself sadder You put on a smile now you're holding a grudge You've got a heart You've got an open window you can't get through And there's light coming in Sitting there, wondering why you don't shine Why don't you shine? Maybe if you had a little faith in your own voice You might hear something That made sense to you That makes sense to you You've waited your whole life To stand up and count yourself in But you never feel half as good Or as bad as you know you should You put yourself down on the floor So you won't be a bother You put yourself down on the floor And you just turned to wood You've got a heart You've got an open window you can't get through Sitting there wondering why you don't shine |
