- American Shoes
You said I'll come back, I'll come back for you my love, wait for me
You said you're the only, you've been the only one I love, and love believes
But love is a bird that you kept in your coat, warm until it died in the dark
And death is the love of what hurts you the most
So you drink your day away till you're warm as paradise
I'm not hurt I'm broken, but I called to say I'm fine
And I heard you had another love, but I'd love you to think I don't mind
- Bare Bones
Outta town girls, they all just want a chance to see the cityscape, lead a looser game with
All the town boys, they all just want a chance with 'em, I understand you can
Bet your bare bones, she'll be coming back for more
And what for? Should've called, should've wrote, leave a note for her before you close that door
For some closure, you know she told ya she loves the way you speak
To her in the margins of a postcard she keeps from you
- Cocaine Jesus
Listen in it isn't when you're talking for your name's sake
Jesus, Mary Magdalene you are, are you okay?
Sitting by the well, Jill, your falling down the hill, Jack
And everybody laughed, Don't you pray? Don't you pray?
To a Cocaine Jesus in a black four-seater,
got a man, don't need him, but you wait
Call me when you want, or just call me when you need it
- Goodnight Chicago
twenty years to see new york reflected on subway trains
twenty more I'll be fourty four head back to Tambay
I killed a man there in spite
when he died, I took his place
18 major colors to the kisses that you gave
cost exchange a caused a blame
and I stood out in the rain
you killed a man there
- Mr. Redundant
Got on the U down to King's Cross Station where the cross kids were smoking in the street.
Mr. Redundant's got a boy in London asking questions no one had a right to be.
Say Mister are they hey hey! are dey are dey hey hey! ah dey are dey are!
I saw the crosses of empty cathedrals whose prospects were hanging out in bars.
Mrs. Facetious' got a man who preaches what the Beatles' believed. Love is ALL YOU NEED!
Say Mister are they hey hey! are dey are dey hey hey! ah dey are dey are!
Life called to say.
- Seven
I'm not satisfied, with that look up in your eyes
With that face you make, when I come down, around here lately
Baby I just wanna ride, with the cool kids kicking it
Watching all the other sixs, fools on the interstate
Sugar shaking making it, lit like Christmas Tress
Light it up, let it go, let it go, let it go up and dry, up and dry
All the sons, all this no, easy come, easy go, go up and dry, up and dry
- Shameful Company
Was I born a stone, heavy to hold and cold in the hands that you left me to warm in the sun.
Was I born alone, or have I recently developed a propensity to push people away? Am I okay with that?
Take it any way you want to, she lit a fire in your head, standing with a flower in her hair, and alcohol plus information often makes it, complicated.
So you'll hate me, make love, lately I've spent my days in daydreams waking you, me, saving every heartbeat, word, line that you ever gave to me, cause fair is a weather condition.
If you're cold, go inside, if you're tired, go to sleep, if you're weak, come to me, and find shameful company.
If you're cold, go inside, if you're tired, go to sleep, if you're weak, come to me, and find shameful company.
- That's My Shit
pray for me if you still believe
sometimes I feel like nobody's listening
or moves in a way that I cannot see
save the music now ringing in my ears
my dreams go bad, baby
my trials, they die lately
my truce they hide, wait
