With it
I'm not staying with it
But there's a place
Near the town
That's got
The rhythm
And it goes like
Dance for your life
Big bloodshot eyes
Pull off that face
This time of day
Another time
And I'm not ready to go yet
I'm not ready to sit and watch at home yet
I'm at a loss for words and I cry
"What's the point of doing this every night?"
Keep me safe
Keep me kind
Keep my secrets in the light
When it's over
I'll be gone
And this whole place
Keeps spinning along
Dance for your life
Big bloodshot eyes
Pull off that face
This time of day
Another time
Dance now
To the rhythm
It's everywhere
Ears ring
In the quiet
And it's keeping you wired
Hold on
To the spirit
It's coming back up
Sleep in
To the evening
'Cause you'll probably go back again
Dance for your life
Big bloodshot eyes
Pull off that face
This time of day
Another time

Please

Please
If it's not too much trouble
Please
If I could have just minute
I've always been the kind
To confuse myself
With something that I did
I'm sure that I did
I can't settle down
Now I'm running out of time
The reasons that we change
They were never really mine
Just sympathize
With what you’ll be
Accept the terms
We come in peace
Don’t wait up for me my head is on fire
I couldn’t handle
I couldn’t be there
I’ll be writing out the lines
Before the day
I should have listened when you said that this was trouble
This was trouble
I should have listened when you said that this was trouble
This was trouble
And will somebody save me from the pieces of man
That are too hard to swallow?

Rabbit Hole

Rabbit hole
Taking all my mind’s control
Taking on another role
Feeling so original
Part of me
Laughing cuz I’m supposed to be
At the trailer joke of the movie
The only part you have to see
Having you
Never know what I should do
Looking like I’m trying to
Keeling over right on cue
Oh, I was wrong
Over it to bring you
Home, I was gone
Coming back to calm you
Down, help me out
Some direction here would
Do, pull me up
As I’m falling down the...
Rabbit hole
Taking all my mind’s control
Taking on another role
Feeling unoriginal
Part of me
Laughing when I shouldn’t be
Practicing my eulogy
The only part I’ll never see

Forget It
03:23

Stop,
I can’t talk anymore i’ve been talking all day
Baby,
I’m just forgetting what I’d taken out of context the other day
Oh,
It’s been a little too much of the same old thing.
I’m,
Getting over everything that I’ve been doing everyday
Forget it,
There’s a problem with my mind that I really can’t say
I read it,
I try to read between the lines from the words of a better me
Ahhhh
I’ve been a little a little too high I’ve been a little too weak
Ahhhh
I’m sorry that all I can say is I’m sorry
Oh,
I’ve been a little to frightened
Been a little too scared
From the words in the air
Oh,
Afternoons are so fragile I’ve been thinking of you and laughing to myself
Oh,
I’ve been a little to frightened
Been a little too scared
From the words in the air
Oh,
I’ve been thinking bout tomorrow and the places we’ll be
Just wait and you’ll see
Oh!
I’ve been a little to frightened
Been a little too scared
From the words in the air
Oh!
I’ve been thinking bout tomorrow
I’ve been thinking bout tomorrow
I’m still thinking bout today
Forget it,
There’s a problem with my mind that I really can’t say
I read it,
I try to read between the lines from the context the other day

Animal

Hey now
Lock me outside
In the pouring rain
I’m an animal
Take me
To the farm
I can finally
Stretch my legs
I tried
Rub my nose in it
Clean it up yourself
I do not have thumbs
Outside
There’s a language
That we both can speak
In a gravel fight
Take me
Take me on a walk
Talkin to yourself
Out loud
Wish I could respond
But you muzzled me

Basement
04:52
|

|
Perfectly stable
Perfectly fine
In the basement of your mind
Come for the coffee
Stay for the wine
And all we do is cry
Cause everything’s fine
Terrible winters
In second hand cars
You’ve been quiet for way too long
Empty time building up
We’re on the clock, we’re going nowhere
Empty time building up
I’ll be right in. I just need a second
We could fill notebooks with feathery writing
But talking out loud just drives us insane
Throughout
So try
This out
Empty time building up
We’re on the clock, we’re going nowhere
Empty time building up
I’ll be right in, I just need a second
No not again baby
On again off again on again
Woh
Some other time
No not again baby
On again off again on again
Woh
Some other time

Living Room Parade
04:08
|

|
Blow me up and paint me red
Floating high I hit my head
Tired of living on a string
Sinking into cushion cracks
Was it time or should I have
Waited for my chance to speak?
Oh
I mix it in with perfect taste
I pour it out, evaporates
Trying out my auteur side
I'm killing vows, I'm wasting time
Another life to undermine
Couldn't breathe in that disguise
I'm in a living room parade
Highly overpaid
I'm in a living room parade
Play it safe
Pick me up but be sure to use a plastic bag
So content
With an idle body, a restless brain and a supplement
Grandiose
A badge for headaches, a trophy for some self control
I'm in a living room parade
Highly overpaid
I'm in a living room parade

Talking to You
03:14

Save your sob stories for your mother
I never wanted to hear them anyway
Save your drama for your sister
But keep me in mind if you ever run into somethin
Feel for the light switch
We’re caught in the dark
Take the next exit
We’re really getting somewhere
Talking on couches
And playing the part
I’m a sucker for your kissin’
But you kept me up all night
Something falls around next Tuesday
It worked well before
Now you never seem into it
Feel for the light switch
We’re caught in the dark
Take the next exit. We’re
really getting somewhere
Talking on couches
And playing the part
Works every time but never does anything
Save your prayers for a sinner
Save my lovin’ for your dinner
I’m over it now, could we ever act any different
Feel for the light switch
We’re caught in the dark
Take the next exit. We’re
really getting somewhere
Talking on couches
And playing the part
Works every time but never does anything

Believe
04:31

Shake me up
I had lessons, that I’m trying to
forget, creeping in. I can’t remove the
brand. My brain has a mark on it
And it’s burned in
I can’t escape
This slight pain
Behind my eyes
Caused by stopping thinking before thinking gets my thoughts out loud
And all you wanted
Was a chance to just get out
A chance to just believe
If a chance was
burdened by the record... well
“How you do anything
(is how) you do everything”
And all your sincere conversation
Has disappeared from where it was
And I had to let go of the stereo
It had a way of echoing
If a chance was
burdened by the record
Well it’s not
looking good for you
I can’t put the pieces in
The pieces in
The pieces in
Cuz I can’t find the pieces of
The pieces of
the pieces of
I can’t put the pieces in
The pieces in
The pieces in
I can blow the pieces up
The pieces up
To pieces

Space Turtle

Drifting off to see I could have gone anywhere
Drifting off to sea
I could go back to that place. I don't want anything
Back into the sea I don't see light/life
Drifting off to see I could have gone anywhere
Drifting off to see
Space Turtle
Swimming high
He lived to be 100
Did he have love that whole time?

Take Me Down
04:58
|
|||
|
Pick up the pieces
I’m coming to meet you
All cozy and losing control
Blue silhouettes in the
Frame of your door you’ve been in there for hours I know
Twist and I turn again
friends all around you cause
We haven’t seen them in weeks
With all of my efforts I
wind up with useless small
talking on couches somewhere
And how could I know
You were
Feeling fuzzy feelings
Out with the rest of the town
I pare off my skin with an
Extra special peeler
And nobody here could look down
Pack up that suitcase it’s overflowing
With all my t-shirts that I could untuck
And where was it today
We just had it Monday
You just should have ran from the start
But how could I know
You were
Feeling fuzzy feelings
Out with the rest of the town
I pare off my skin with an
extra special peeler
Nobody here could look down
Nobody here could look down
Ooooooooh
Right down
Take me down
with you when you
Take me down
with you when you
Go
Home
