If you found the words, would you really say them?
Or stutter through the verse, with mumbled punctuation? Remembering the line, an empty metaphor That you savored by yourself, you're never cured If I forgot the lines, is it easy enough to fake it? Or do you need a moment to re-memorize And model it like a curse half-disguised? Leers, jeers, whispers and the tears That final taste before you're taken away Odds, ends, final amends It's all right to say it Just as long as you don't really think so Give me a little room To get on with concentration Just enough to know What I'm missing in education Borrowing all the hours that you gave to me It's a wonder I could ever breathe Under all your thoughts You'll hear the floating whisper Of all the things you were that have been paralleled All the voices that were raised and finally fell Leers, jeers, whispers and tears That final taste before you're taken away Odds, ends, final amends It's all right to say it Just as long as you don't really think so No lights No show No sex That's all you get No waits No calls No written tests for what you know Leers, jeers, whispers and tears That final taste before you're taken away Odds, ends, final amends It's all right to say it Just as long as you don't really think so |

Holes barely spent
Crossed T's never read Etching away 'til the end of the day Save up for the rest And you'll hope for the next Hot spill Cheap thrill You're the last of the line And wasted your time You're too eager to stall A bit too sure of it all But left with your empty fate You pick up a paperweight So work it, baby, work it Work it, baby, work it Mix and blend Words are written again and again Oh, cycle the air You swallow and stare Alone at the setting sun Well there goes another one Counting down For a night on the town Now work it, baby, work it Work it, baby, work it Yeah, work it, baby, work it Work it, baby |

Every bit has its time
Too many pieces to keep over With every shape and design That won't fit in Match the best of your peers If you can make it through the summer Forget the paint on the walls The dizzying view There's barely the room (Oooo-Ooo) I see you better when the lights are out (Oooo-Ooo) I see you better when the lights are out (Oooo-Ooo) Just give a second and I'll figure it out, yes, I will (Oooo-Ooo) 'Cause practice is over Quick stop, then the sticks So he don't Know how to keep this thing on rollin' out We will jam 'n curse so it wouldn't begin Find a space on the floor Tape down the edges of your waistcoat Remember the words, the lighting cues It's all up to you (Oooo-Ooo) I see you better when the lights are out (Oooo-Ooo) I see you better when the lights are out (Oooo-Ooo) Just give a moment and I'll beckon it out, yeah, I will (Oooo-Ooo) 'Cause practice is over (Oooo-Ooo) I see you...I see you better when the lights are out (Oooo-Ooo) I see you...I see you better when the lights are out (Oooo-Ooo) I see you...Just give a second and I'll figure it out, yes, I will (Oooo-Ooo) 'Cause practice is over |

With every morning chore
You look around once more So that your eyes will adjust To all the grain and dust All the time Spent over nothing Seems like you're done You are I was pacing around And just recording it down I had nothing to say I'm done for another day 'Cause I don't wanna share you So don't say goodnight Nooo Don't say goodnight It's too dull to pause And to remember the cause It's just to dull to care So we cue from the northern air And the icy edge Will steal our reflections When we pass on by When we pass by |

The days were open lately
Yet they ran on and on Mistakes are never likely And colors hardly run But now they're all mixed up And I don't know just what I see You're over everything All the lines escaping free A moment interrupts me And I can't find my place Some voices all around here But I won't back away Instead I talk to you And you're so hard to figure out One minute into fear The next you have me breathin' out It's a hard wait (yeah) Hard wait (yeah) Hard wait (yeah) It's a hard wait (yeah) When every second takes its toll With every kiss you kill me more But I'm here and I decide So come close and watch me 'til I die It's true I understand too well This press of touch and go Still search your heart for secrets That I'll find out on my own Come on just give me something Or let me be left alone And hide my face in the crowd Just keeps me moving, yeah moving, yeah It's a hard wait (yeah) Hard wait (yeah) Hard wait (yeah) Hard wait (yeah) When you can never feel at home 'Cause you've been off and away too long And it's too much just to leave again So you figured that you'll stay instead Ooooo-Oo-Ooo Ooooo-Oo-Ooo Ooooo-Oo-Ooo Ooooo-Oo-Ooo Ooooo-Oo-Ooooo, Oo Ooooo-Oo-Ooooo, Oooo Ooooo-Oo-Ooooo Ooooo-Oo-OooooooooooOW Hard wait (yeah) Hard wait (yeah) Hard wait (yeah) Oh, it's a hard wait (yeah) Just to teeter on the falling edge And in the end it's just another stretch To find someone you could understand Find someone who's got their tact in hand With every move and every stance Every wink and every glance You get caught up in another night And you hit me with those hazel eyes |

Game over it's a new owner
Punches dripping off your pride Move slower you're one day older, Find the darkest side of the night Sneak a picture Above my shoulder Don't make a sudden move You'll spoil the light Oh, no Once, double stride Roll again till it's right Twice, sudden start Move around, find the part Pan forward and frame the border Clean up every matching line She looks perfect in every color Find the one that's not too bright Sneak a picture Of a cheap performer Don't let it go too far 'cause it's not the art Oh, no Oh, noo Once, double stride Roll again till it's right Twice, sudden start Move around, find the part Once, double stride Find your pace deep inside Twice, sudden start Sleep it off, where you are Once, know your smile Add some more on your bedroom pile Twice, trick your heart Show the lens who you think you are Sneak a picture Catch an empty corner And dress it with a set of your past regrets Then go Then go Till it's right, once double stride, Find the part, twice sudden start, Deep inside, once double stride, Where you are, twice sudden start, Bedroom pile, once know your smile, Who you are, twice trick your heart |

Thank you once again
I can barely get through it I can't draw a line without it falling off the page And I can't hold a face Without it moving from the frame 'Cause there's a tremor in my lips and an itching in my eyes It's all 'cause of you So take the covers off They been keeping off the dust Steady down the arms Hold then sudden cut I see you in the dark See you dancing with the lights Copying your breath Tracing so you know that it's all 'cause of you Hole, follow from the wire Where it goes Somewhere down the hall In through your hands Out your mouth In a whisper In through the walls Where you start Tell me what's the time And how far left to go 'Cause all these dirty blinds Keep us way to slow So baby let it out Let it burn into the sky Watch it as it goes Say you trust me then I know That is all 'cause of you |

Women like you
Know what to say You know when to move And know when you shouldn't stay Women like you Are never alone but never too fast and careful 'cause you say so That's what your face shows Women like you Don't need to hear it or whisper through the door 'Cause you know what your heart's for Know what your heart's for Blind men like me can never hold on (Then it's gone) Blind men like me Don't know how to behave (at all) Whatever you choose The broken voice that I'll assume Just creep to a crawl And kiss me under each new moon |
