- Acid Jed
So the sky is crumbling. I am not afraid 'cause you see
this too. So my hands are shaking. I am not afraid
'cause you've got it bad. I was counting all the monsters
I am ever going to be and I was falling a thousand miles
an hour swirling around, the only sound was Acid Jed.
If this were the last day and this mind were not mine,
then I can't be ruined and that's 'cause you're all mine.
So the sky is. So my hands are.
- Anchor
The anchor is a kickstand
So I'm taking you down with me
To the wrong side of the quicksand and our flashlight destiny
You can be the walker I'm gonna be your wire
You can be the ugly truth
I'm gonna be your liar
Still the future lit up so bright for all to see
I can't look now you're all the same
- Awake
I guess it's been awhile and a long time too.
Everything's still the same and so are you.
It's only in this light that I could see what you'd be like.
If it took a million years, well, this is what I am.
You're awake and I'm asleep and we are so complete that way.
You're asleep and I'm awake and everything is so great.
Everything is so great.
Oh yea.
- because of u
I can stand here and do this again
I can say it but where to begin
I know that I'm caving in
Because I'm heavy
I'm heavy
So the wonder of you is done
I'm tired and bloody and good to be gone
- Because Of You
I can stand here and do this again
I can say it but where to begin
I know that I'm caving in
Because I'm heavy
I'm heavy
So the wonder of you is done
I'm tired and bloody and good to be gone
- Big Star
There it goes again, got a little habit.
Stay away from him.
Clinging, gnawing things tucked away like secrets.
Stay away from him.
It comes and goes.
He comes and goes.
Look he's turning around.
I can't help it - I'm still waiting.
- Boy
You boy ain't nothing but trouble
The kind I ain't seen in awhile
and I gotta get me out of here
don't go go and ask crazy questions
like I maybe don't know what I'm doin
and I gotta get me out of here
the farthest thought and I simply thought things were right from now on here
just got here and I'm leavin'
- Clear Blue Water
Cast OUT on clear blue water
Saw nothing out there at all at all
Picture a scene across to the other side
Saw nothing out there at all
Pack up some scant possessions
For this trip you’ll take to find
what’s right in front of you
- Co-Pilot
Everybody says that you're no good
I don't pay attention though
It doesn't matter though I know it should
I don't pay attention
So what's the use?
When it never ends
And you're singular it's true
So much for them
- Come Around
Don't feel small when I'm looking down.
Don't get too high if I'm looking up at you.
And if the answer looks at me I'll still say I don't know it
Not that I could come around anyway.
Look your dreams walk away with mine.
Stumble and cry, but I'm clapping on the inside.
I'm clapping on the inside.
So what your answer comes to me.
- Come On
We can talk we can talk about it
Then
If I'm wrong if I'm wrong
If I'll take the blame
We can talk
And as the hours slip away
As my own
- Cruel To Be Kind
Oh, I can't take another heartache
Though you say you're my friend
I'm at my wits end
You say your love is bonafide
But that don't coincide
With the things that you're doing
When I ask you to be nice
You say you gotta be
- dangerous type
Can I touch you, are you out of touch?
I guess I never noticed that much
Geranium lover, I'm live on your wire
Come and take me, whoever you are
She's a lot like you
The dangerous type
She's a lot like you
- Demon Rock
What say you demon, what say you demon rock of what
I'm the rock of Gibraltar.
What say you demon so say what.
If you think of it then you should know if I'm getting kind of low.
If you think of it then you should know if I'm getting kind of low.
You made the sunshine.
Then you take my air to breathe.
If I'm gonna
- Disappear
What would you do for me my sweet cherubic
Baby ideally way up high and lovely
But I had a thought that I'm not waiting for you anymore
I'm astral crystalline pure though you could disappear tomorrow
Who would care it's not like the retribution would end there you could disappear
Tell us a story tell us all about your heavenly life in detail
And don't leave out a word I'm listening
All grow up Stepford son
- Dreams
Now here you go again You say you want
Your freedom Well who am I
To keep you down It's only right
That you should Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully To the sound
Of your loneliness Like a heartbeat
Drives you mad In the stillness
Of remembering what you had
- Fast Way
Why you gotta sit in my easychair.
What makes you think that I would care?
When I say to you - what are you going to do?
So I got you to at least say please
That's how I know that you're on your knees.
But I'm thinking too.
What am I gonna do.
To not take the fast way it evens out every time.
- From Under the Dust
It gets loud down here.
Fourteen scurrying feet getting as far away as feet can carry.
From under the dust I hear every one of you, from under the dust I can feel it all.
I know what you're thinking.
I know what you're saying.
It was another time.
I guess you were a friend of mine.
It was another time but not much to recall.
- Green Eggs
If I lie just a little
If I lie to appease
Will you show me a way without taking me along...
Becoats like a gloss
Those who beg to reason
I'll be that scared back first but just don't lose me
And I'm not like that, oh no not me
- He's Got An Answer
Ten thousand years have passed
And it don't matter much to him that ten thousand years have passed before.
There's nothing he can't do.
Nothing he won't say.
'Cause don't you know he knows it anyway.
He's got an answer for everything.
So if you want to know about landlocked countries in Asia
Under the strong-arm hold of Buddhists
- He's Stayin'
Talk in sign, say something new
Talk in circles, nothing better to do
Message camouflage - same dead end
Please say just what he’s saying
He ain’t my friend.
Found him but in a world that’s not his own
A world he’d hidden pretty well
- Here and Now
Just living on a Sunday morning
Got my toast and tea and I'm warm and I just thought I'd think about.
All the things to get and keep getting, never enough not enough and never ending.
I just thought I'd think about.
And it might be...
The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above
The sky above could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the here and now.
- I Got Time
That's the greatest picture I have ever seen
So I stole it for myself
So you could see just what I mean
And this alluvial fan it represents my life
I've got the strength to move but why should I got time I got time
That's the greatest story I have heard so far
Lilies in the toilet spider
Driving motor cars
- I Want You To Want Me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
And I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
And I'd love you to love me
- I'm A Fool
It would be nice to know everything but I never said I did
And now that I'm a moving target with nothing to admit
What will I find when I cross that line
For now it's fine just say goodnight
Though it would be a kick to get my way
I hardly ever do and the closest that I ever get is nothing on you
Like what happened when I said you'd never go
But now I know that I'm a fool to think that you could ever be that true
- Jennifer
Started out with defeat.
Everyone was asleep.
And now you know that it's time to make up you mind like me.
Now I'm not one to complain but you're driving me insane.
And now you know that it's time to make up your mind like me.
Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer
Open up your door.
If there could be last bliss
- Laudanum
It's getting harder to believe I've gotta go
But I don't want to leave.
You've got your mortality on your sleeve.
And if I'm something you've outgrown
You think that maybe I'd have know.
God I wish I'd just known.
I want you to be like me.
It would be so easy if you'd just agree.
- Little Rosa
Little Rosa was gonna shine.
Little Rosa had a real bad time.
She was not like anyone else.
She never will.
Little Rosa the boys let her know she's just not that way
She don't put on a show for nobody.
Not even you.
She gonna sit alone.
- Mellie's Comin Over
And as I stood in the place
where I once saw a friend standing,
I didn't mean to run away from you.
I almost lost the chance to save myself.
(chorus)
Mellie's coming over,
she's coming over,
- Mellie's Comin' Over
And as I stood in the place where I once saw a friend standing
I didn't mean to run away from you.
I almost lost the chance to save myself.
Mellie's coming over; she's coming over; Mellie's coming over, yeah.
Not really lucid but wide awake
A kind word to snap me out of it is all that I know it would take from you
If I knew you really wanted to.
Mellie's coming over; she's coming over; Mellie's coming over, yeah.
- Never Tell
Well I stepped off the train just the other day
I swore that I saw you
A younger man, a stronger man, but certainly the man
That you were at one time.
He stepped out of the station and into the sun
Thought that for sure
He would be meeting someone he would be meeting someone
- Pizza Cutter
I was on you side
And I can't believe that it's coming back to haunt me.
You were on that side too and I can't, no I can't go back and save you.
Why didn't you do as you were told?
Why didn't you just go home?
And what you got in the bag?
Non-recognition is the way to keep everything you want to hide.
You stay on that side now 'cause I won't
- Pretend to Be Nice
Well he looks at me with those innocent eyes,
and says it looks like your wearin some kinda disguise,
becuz your hair sticks up,
your shoes are untied,
i hope that you got that shirt at half price,
and every word i say falls flat on the floor,
i try to tell a joke,
hes heard it before,
- Rim Shak
Like a gaping hole in the universe, as obvious as anything
could be, trip and fall pants at ankles as it, as it only possible
could be. It's a cosmic thing and it's all around me dangling
like life above me, if you knew where it was headed to, I say
you'd be there already. Can't tear yourself away, can you?
If I'm different now in a brand new light, so? Darts in time
changed everything. I'm moving this, hurdle over that now as it,
only possibly could be. It's encompassing 'cause it's all around me
- Sister
When I need a place to get away,
When I need a place to hide,
That place just seems oh so far away,
Couldn't get there if I tried.
Me and a young girl chasing mosquitoes,
Rolling down them grassy hills.
Put up a sign that said "No Vacancy",
Forget the world let time stand still
- Sparklegirl
A good girl always knows what's right
Don't forget your keys now
Don't be late
I'm told that if you last the night
They'll make you drown or float
Just wait be more like fire than a firefly and that's the best way to be happy
Sparklegirl it's clear there's a lot to fear that's so up
I won't try to slow you down
- St. Peter
I know what you did.
And now he's waiting.
He knows what you did too.
You're not what you say you are.
If you were why was you head down in his car?
It's just not the same, try and try I'm still the last to know.
You get the sticker and the prize, you let me in - you showed me how.
That honey face complete with pillow case.
- Step Back
Appear and fade away, so far so good and I'll tell you the story this time.
Plan too far ahead, it's the same old thing.
Finally kicking it out this time.
Tell me where were you?
Now just where were you?
When it really mattered, like this time?
Staring down a haze it's supposed to be a better day
But it doesn't really matter, not this time.
- sunshine on my window
Sunshine,
On the window,
Makes me happy,
Like I should be
Outside,
All around me,
Really sleazy,
- Veda Very Shining
That was my heart when time was a seed
Tell me what it means
We made it out okay but soon it turned to dust
Tell me what it means
Cut it out and get off the floor
Because it doesn't make you matter more
Veda very shining who will you wait up for life
Love heaven death is that what makes you such a mess
- Wasted
The saddest sound I've ever heard;
the saddest sound I've ever heard.
The quiet that takes the place of silence that takes the place of your voice.
You're right reasons are dumb and I'm just talking too much.
And I want to be alone with what I am - wasted.
The cruelest voice comes back to me.
The cruelest thing, you think you didn't know me.
It's alright, I am on the outside now - smiling, but eyes don't lie.
- You Dirty Rat
You never write
You never call
You just stand around and smile so happily
The government could never do
as worser things as you have done to me
Well I should cry
but I've done too much already I can't lie
