Pick up the phone
Don't you know I've been away
For such a long, long time, my love
You're not at home
Don't you know that I get so lonely?
Yes, I get so lonely
When you say that you owe me
I know I'm in control
I burn the things you show me
Take turns corroding souls
As the years go by
Don't write your name
For if you do, I will walk so slowly
I will walk so slowly
It's all the same
He comes to me like he didn't know me
Like he does not know me
Don't call me when you're down on your knees
For I could not bear to see the form of love you have decreed
And to this place I shall go, wading through your fallen snow
Find out fast you're not to know
Then we will kiss and it will show we've had our fun
When you say that you owe me
I know I'm in control
I burn the things you show me
Take turns corroding souls
As the years go by

Red Wine Summer Parade
02:00

All day fun, it doesn't matter
Seven glasses in, mad as a hatter
Walk through the neighborhood, I'm feeling so damn good
With Up The Junction blaring, and all the kids are staring
With my bucket hat, Hawaiian pink
I give myself a coy little wink
The sun is beating, I got my glasses on
A walk in paradise, I stumble through the lawns
Insults come so cheap
(It's time to go, I've had my fill)
And I've pushed out all those who I cared for
(My perfect smokescreen, if you will)
It's the morning I'll meet
Because after the fact is when I don't know quite what to say
Another greatest hits, another fight to pick
I'd try and play a song but I can't play it slick
And in my lovely haze, the sunny summer days
I'd hear the buzzing trees make noise for you and me

Feel Regretful

Look at him
He's walking so damn fast it hurts
To make a move in his direction
I've always been
(I never see, I never thought that it could be)
Talking so damn meek it kills
Chance of love with indiscretion
Eternity
(When I come home wonder why I'm all alone)
Why won't you spend your twilight years
With me and him you won't take chances
Sit right now
Can't afford to crack a smile
And we'll take turns exchanging glances
But when we get home
Who will be there to protect us?
And when I aim high, which of them will knock me down?
In this game we play
All the labels, they mean nothing
I will find my way
But you're screaming, yes, you're screaming oh so loud
I've come to terms
The problem's always been within
Outside force can't help competing
Everyone
(Now the lost is found, you come up short, you come around)
Says I have the perfect smile
But when I'm in the room they're leaving
It's everyone
(Don't tell me twice, I'll pack my bags, I'll give advice)
It's the whole damn modern world
Please cry for me, I am so helpless
Don't ask why
The question is without response
A tragedy in 21 acts
But when we get home
Who will be there to protect us?
And when I aim high, which of them will knock me down?
In this game we play
All the labels, they mean nothing
I will find my way
But you're screaming, yes, you're screaming oh so loud

Country Boy

She moans
A serving for a country boy I know
And I can't afford the tickets to his show
So you had better lay off
I speak
Overwhelmed with my companion's inner needs
And the way he cuts her hair, it makes me see
That when you go it pays off
When you turned to me, well it caused such a fright
Don't tap my shoulder till you make it through the night
She moves
Away from distant memories of you
Blinded by the causalities, it's true
Now you've won, you step off

Darling, come see me
You'll find I'm the only one
Who'd want to come see me
Decisions made oh so fun
Yes, you're locked and dreamy
Our table set for three
Decisions made easy
Results that we'd never see
Well I hear you sleep talk at night
Never once knowing who it's for
I guess you should be me
Before you walk out that door
In this time we could do what we wanted
Find out fast nothing's under the gun
Petty lies, they would kill and leave haunted this love
When you cry try to see it through my eyes

Oh, I want to tell you these crazy things
Oh, I want to make you love my eyes
Why don't we try?
Why don't we try?
So when you're lonely
Too full of shame to call me up
Maybe you'll see
How fuckin' cute I am
And how sad you are
That it can't be
And I said I love you, I hate you so much
Said I love you, I hate you so much
Said I love you, I hate you so much
Said I love you, I hate you so much
So I bummed a smoke off Saturn's rings
And took a ride down cosmic drive
And when you tell me these crazy things
Please consider looking in my eyes
Why can't you?
Why can't you look me in the eye?
Look me in the eye and be sincere if you wanna say what you mean
So when you're lonely
Too full of shame to call me up
Maybe you'll see
How fuckin' cute I am
And how sad you are
That it can't be
And I said I love you, I hate you so much
Said I love you, I hate you so much
Said I love you, I hate you so much
Said I love you, I hate you so much

Just Go On And Leave
02:54
|

Just go on and leave, it won't hurt at all
And count out the times I broke your fall
Crying out won't do no good
Find out fast, do what you should
Hedonistic holes plague my soul
Don't surrender yourself, you're not backed by gold
You knew the lesson from the start
Just another loser burning out for his own art
Just go on and leave, it won't hurt at all
And count out the times I broke your fall
Crying out won't do no good
Find out fast, do what you should
Now my world is flashing by
I see the future and it crumbles in my eyes
There's nowhere left for me to fly
I'm never satisfied, I'm never satisfied
Just go on and leave, it won't hurt at all
And count out the times I broke your fall
Crying out won't do no good
Find out fast, do what you should

You've Heard The News
02:09

I sit all day in squalor
Burning out this man of wealthy taste
I used to have desire
Non sequiturs will orbit, enter, smack me in the face
You sad, poor man you can't pretend
To unravel my self-inflicted love letters
It bleeds out and it permeates
Don't even try to clean it, man you know better
And if I had a million
I'd fold them into little people
I'd give them all new faces
Set them straight, watch them run
If I'm having fun, I've done it right

I never took you for an outcast
But now you spend all day at home
I only want to see you outlast
All of those losers on your phone
And when the conversation stops now
Which one of us has walked away?
But if you walked by
And had a chance to see
That we'd look so fly
We'd find eternity, eternally
And when you close yours
And have a chance to find
The way you get off
It makes me lose my mind
The flowers pop up in the springtime
And every now and then I'd see
Another petal being pulled off
In the place of you and me
You never wanted to grow up here
I never had a chance to try
But if you walked by
And had a chance to see
That we'd look so fly
We'd find eternity, eternally
And when you close yours
And have a chance to find
The way you get off
It makes me lose my mind
