Got the shakes, too much gravy
I'm so fried What did I do? Knuckles scraped, please don't blame me Can't hurt a fly I couldn't hurt you Change my shape when I'm crazy Flat stones skim the surface of water Three strikes, and then they go under Don't tell me it's over Please wait for me, I swear I'll go sober Please wait till this hell freezes over Some people shouldn't mess with the thunder I'll go sober Don't mess with the thunder I'll go dry I'll go dry I'll go dry I'll go dry It's not over |

Dust motes in a beam of light
They slow down time Snowflake on a black wool glove Melting in the sunlight Dust motes in a beam of light You left without a fight Dust motes in a beam of light, they slow down time It's cold outside I'll forgive you I'll forgive you I'll forgive you Your transgressions There's a vulture at the end of my bed It's 5 a.m., it thinks I'm dead There's a vulture at the end of my bed Against the window, in silhouette There's a vulture would have me asleep It's looking at me like I'm some piece of meat I'll forgive you I'll forgive you If you die If you die Everybody says I'll be alright I don't think so Cried over my supper It revived, got off the table, started to fly If you die If you die I'll forgive you I'll forgive you I'll forgive you Dust motes in a beam of light They slow down time |

Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life For the end, I'm in a home All my friends have long since gone The staff are cold but rules are rules How can children be so cruel? If I could leave I wouldn't stay Never thought I'd end this way Death is welcome, why'd she wait? Tell her I said so Tell her I said so Tell her I said so Tell her I said so Out the window seasons change Here inside it's all the same With the snow the birds have flown Tell her I said so Tell her I said so Tell her I said so Tell her I said so We all pray for longer life Longer life, stuck in some home Home's a word, cuts like a knife No one chooses to grow old Put your mark upon my door I don't play here anymore This delay is just a bore Tell her I said so Tell her I said so Tell her I said so Tell her I said so Tell her I said so Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a life That's lived so long Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a life That's lived so long Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a long life Here's to a life That's lived too long |

Glazed eyes turning away
Is it true you're seeing him again? E-mail swiftly erased Is it true you're seeing him again? I caught you on the telephone You've no answer to my question Who's on the line? You were crying on the telephone Is it me, is it him? Show me how to survive Can't afford to divorce I'm so scared, show me how To accept we've run our course Loved you the best of our years We'll survived the sting in this tale Last call, numbers erased We'll survived the sting in this tale After dark when you got home You were walking, said you're walking down by the pier Feel that I'm the last to know There's the children, not the children Show me how to survive Can't afford to divorce I'm so scared, show me how To accept we've run our course Blindfold my love Adjust to betrayal of trust Blindfold my love Adjust to betrayal of trust You left a message on my answer phone There is something you can't tell me Don't have much time Test came back and doctor said There's no answer to the cancer Don't have much time |

My life
Is just a fake Put my fist right through these walls If I concentrate The paint is wet But I forget I keep drifting off The floors can't take my weight But my pen moves on, keeps writing No mistake What we have, we share all in together Always come prepared whatever the weather What we have, we share all in together Always come prepared whatever the weather I'm late, I'm always late I'm somewhere else Not here and now In time and space I'm lost on a map Where the satellites won't track In an altered state Which leaves no trace I'm late in time And lost in space What we have, we share all in together Always come prepared whatever the weather What we have, we share all in together Always come prepared whatever the weather Rabbit hole, rabbit hole Rabbit hole Rabbit hole, rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole Rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole Ooh, rabbit hole, rabbit hole Rabbit hole, rabbit hole Rabbit hole, rabbit hole |

Stand at the curbside and watch the world go by
In this town no one looks you in the eye Where is the place not driven on by time? Where's the city of dreams, a city made of light? Where people laugh more than cry Leave their doors open Fall in love everyday Brave hearts get broken This city aims to love regardless of the bruise We love and marry any sex or race we choose Make for this city Make for this city On the underground, we all look so worn down On the circle line forever going 'round We love our children, not school down, open minds We learn that happiness is the aim of life Make for this city Within our minds Make for this city City of light within our minds Where's the connection to the heart of living? Where's the connection to life? The life we are living is unforgiving Less like a flower than a knife Where's the connection to heart living? Where's the flower of life? We aren't defined by our work and what we own If you can find your way here, you've made it home We love and marry any sex or race we choose There's no one here who use their gods to exclude Make for this city Make for this city Make for this city Make for this city Make for this city Make for this city |

I pretend that I know where I'm going
I pretend I know where I came from Or the fear will engulf me completely I chose to waltz this bridge of sighs Act my age in an age of indifference I'm as big as I can dream I forget in the truth of my nature I forget to forgive, so I look away Look away Look away Look away Look away Look away Look away I can't stop, so I carry on I don't trust God is on my side Indirect as the gaze of a geisha I'm still that lost and lonely child Look away Look away Look away Look away Look away Look away All mirrors shattered Poor plastic clown All that really matters You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down All mirrors shattered Poor plastic clown All that really matters You weren't in the building when the walls came crashing down All mirrors shattered Poor plastic clown All that really matters |

Fear takes my breath away
I'm saving my skin Dogs bark at a stranger's feet I act without thinking Fear fights for the driver's seat Keeps breaking the chain Next time he rides in the boot We got wise to his game We be giant or small Satellite's askew Compensate for fear of falling I'm afraid of you Shadows on the wall I'm afraid of you They dissolve when we start talking You must want it too Fear, fear, fear Fear, fear Fear, fear, fear Fear |
