Don't you have to speak now?
Not just look and half smile All I want's to feel That I'm barely real I feel like string I feel like nothing Who's the silence for now? Can your heart still hold Everything... Untold? I feel like string I feel like nothing |

A good friend is hard to find
But you'll have one if you open your eyes A good friend is hard to find I found you Will you be mine? And time will show Time will show A good friend is hard to find But you'll have one if you open your eyes A good friend is hard to find I found you Will you be mine? And time will show Time will show And time will show Time will SHOW But not me |

On a quiet afternoon
Staring out of your room Feeling blue What am I gonna do? Look at me, just close your eyes Try to realize Look at me, just close your eyes Try to realize Coffee's there On the floor From the night before Shades are drawn Against the sun Where is everyone? Look at me, just close your eyes Try to realize Look at me, just close your eyes Try to realize |

Three angels - holes in their socks
Three angels - holes in their socks I'll take the one on the right You take the one on the left One in the middle One to forget Take a walk - 'round the block Take a walk - 'round the block Three angels - holes in their socks Two to play One to sing They know... EVERYTHING Take a walk - 'round the block Take a walk - 'round the block |

Last night I dreamt your face
The skin was falling off The flesh was turning grey This is a cave-in I said I'd stay Cave-in Said I'd stay Last night I had a dream Your eyes were lit by fire The way you tried to smile The way you couldn't smile This is a cave-in I said I'd stay Cave-in Said I'd stay These things take so long So let me help it some These things take so long So let me help it some |

Dry heave doubt
From a little dragon's mouth Split lip and split tongue Finally, cross eyed She stands next to the cigarrette machine "This device has got it made," she thinks. It has a cast iron stomach But a candle for a heart Odd the way the very stuff falls out Hard the way it makes you doubt This thing leaps up and complains, full of bile Not even starcrossed, just unlucky Odd how the very stuff falls out Hard the way it makes you smile This thing leaps up and complains Not even starcrossed, just unlucky |

D for effort
D for intent D because you pay the rent D for love D for insight D because you're heaven sent I want you to need me - not to feed me I want you to need me - not to feed me D for dishes F for floors Can't make the grade anymore D for love D for intent D because you pay the rent You kick my head Lying on your ten - your ten foot bed You say you're all alone, that's just 'cause, you don't want anybody home See a smile, make it sad Take it all so bad. |

Jon thinks I've been sad enough
But I just can't agree It's not so sad for me Things I thought might come true They never do They never do Once stood on a shore so grand Slept in a gravely bed In a kingdom so pure In a kingdom SO PURE |

Today's another day you do what you can Feel so sad, so bad today All our friends have gone away Here in my castle lines crease my face Take them away, take them far away Feel so sad, so bad today All our friends have gone away |

Walk, just walk away
And throw old things away Things don't last too long But when they do They last too long Walk, just walk away And throw old things away I, I thought I tried But what, what does that mean? Walk, just walk away And throw old things away Nothing sticks to you Not even what you WANT to |

When I see the sun
I hope it shines on me And gives me everything...well, almost Some people seem To be just small hard peas Sometimes I think it's me I try so hard for bruises on your back - just to get you back I try so hard for bruises on your back, tiny and mean Just to get you back Just to get you back Just to get you back Just to get you back When I see the sun I hope it shines on me And gives me everything To be one mile high Then I would kill you all What I gave to you, just meant nothing When I see the sun I hope it shines on me And gives me everything When I see the sun I hope it shines on me And gives me everything...well, almost |

First a kiss, then a fall
Some pale shade takes it all Tangled up in a knot One foot free, one foot caught Light the stove with a match I just wait, I just think I'm so sad, I can't stand I can't stand, I can't stand |

Loss leader, losing sight of the shore
Can't take this loss loop anymore, anymore Water - running down Water - running down Now things taste kind of bitter Two muddy shoes, far from home, far from home Water - running down Water - running down - RUNNING DOWN And as I walk back I feel the moon against my neck Loss leader, losing sight of the shore Can't take this lost loop anymore |

Takes my love from me And it takes so long But then I understand I under... STAND Put your hand in my good hand Promise not to leave this dry and barren land And it takes so long But then I understand I under... STAND |

Spent afternoons
In the smoking room. The things that I said then Still make me burn with shame. The world is frozen now It glitters, sparkles, and shines. |

My words have broken throats
Too ashamed to speak Afflicted by disease They are so weak I'll throw sand in your eye You need a reason to cry I'll throw sand in your eye I need a reason to smile I went to school to learn But it didn't work How do you learn to try Why can't I? I'll throw sand in your eye You need a reason to cry I'll throw sand in your eye I need a reason to smile |

Dream in black and white
Model cities, shooting up, in the sky Did they go to sleep, just to die, just to drown, in the air? Look under the bed There's no ghosts, that I can see Tires burning Can't go back there Can't go forward What does the word vacany mean, when you don't expect anything? Don't even try to justify, there's no way to justify |

A pile a bones Once sucked down Now come ashore Things Keep washing up Keep washing Keep washing up In the sky Spotlights search The ghosts of birds The ghosts of things gone by How can we live Forget But not forgive? |
