It's Over

Sorry sir, I stole your money,
Sorry sir, I feel, but it's so, so twisted,
So unreal
It was what I'd heard of
And what I didn't have
But I cannot give what I do not have
I can't take it.

Don't stultify.
Don't hold me high.
Don't stultify.
Don't hold me high.

Too many things held precious,
Too many things held dear;
That's what I hate,
That's what I fear.
Too much to ask for
May leave me feeling lonely.
But too little leaves me nothing, nothing.

But the drone in your voice, and the fly on the wall said,
"It's over, it's over, it's over, it is."
And what do I wish for you, what do I wish?
It's over, it's over, it is.
And are we still solemn and bleeding?
And are we still swimming to water that was wet?
You can't give away certain things that you get.

From the outside
To the inside I couldn't tell you how it really was
There has to be more on one hand,
Keep your head above water on the other, the other.

But the drone in your voice, and the fly on the wall said,
"It's over, it's over, it's over, it is "
What do I wish for you, what do I wish?
It's over, it's over, it is.
And are we all still solemn and bleeding?
And are we still swimming to water that was already wet?
I can forgive, but I won't forget.

I'll wish for you, I'll plead and I'll steal.
Hold me precious and hold me dear.
I'll wish for you,
I'll sing and I'll feel.
Don't stultify, don't hold me high.

Like a Gothic staple, a last good-bye,
One way to float is if you die.
And it's over, it's over, it's over.
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over, it's over.

Sandalwood

She can't tell me that all of the love songs have been written
Cause she's never been in love with you before
Your skin smells lovely, like sandalwood
Your hair falls soft like animals
I'm tryin' to keep cool, but everyone likes you
I want to kiss the back of your neck
The top of your spine where your hair hits
And gnaw on your fingertips and fall asleep
I'll talk you to sleep

But I'll be the one, I will have chosen
I'm tryin' to keep cool, but everyone here likes you
I'm not the only one
Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood
Your hair falls soft like animals
And nothing else matters to me

She can't tell me that all of the love songs have been written
Cause she's never been in love with you before,
In love with you before

Your hand, so hot, burns a hole in my hand
I wanted to show you

Snow Day

It's a bad day
It's a train ride
It's a bad day
You're my medicine

It's a snow day
It's a full moon
It's a snow day

When'd you get down to my bones?
And where'll I find that wishing stone?
The beads, the records
All the calls, and the drinks alone

First by mind, then by music
You'll make this all less confusing.
It's a slow dive down,
It's a fast distraction,
It's a strange fall forward
My lame reaction.

It's a bad day.
It's a long ride.
It s a bad day.
And you're my medicine

It's a sinking feeling,
Pulls me through the seat of chairs.
When will you come rescue me,
Find solace, and then take me there?

Say, "You re not too tired for this life,
And it's not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
You're not too tired for this life, and
It's not gonna matter if you fall down twice."

When'd you get down to my bones?
And where'll I find that wishing stone?
The beads, the records,
All the calls, and the drinks alone.

It's a bad day.
Two miles to go.
It's a bad day.
You're my medicine

You say, "You're not too tired for this life,
And it's not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
You're not too tired for this life,
And it's not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
You're not too tired for this life,
And it's not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
If you fall down, if you fall down
Cause you're my medicine.
You're my medicine.
You're my medicine.
You're my medicine.
It's a long ride

Alone

I want to be by myself, sometimes I do
I don't want to be left behind, but sometimes I'm left by you
I press my tongue to the top of my mouth
Cause my jaw, was tired from the thinking
And I stretched my toes to the end of the couch
Cause my back, it was aching from sleeping
So what is this weather, and what is this darkness,
And why do I feel so alone?
And when will it snow, it's been raining for hours
And why do I feel so alone?

And when I'm left at home, when you're with someone else I'm all alone
Do not cheat me of my childhood
You bring me blankets for the walls of my forts
There is no anger with the eyebrow raised
When you do the fantastic I am amazed
So what is this weather, and what is this darkness
And why do I feel so alone?
When will it snow, it's been raining for hours
And why do I feel so alone?

You were leaving some bar, and you're coming downtown
You're not ripping out stitches, but you want me around
Just to call you my love, just to call you my love
You are the treasure custodian cleaning the moon for me
Scouring the sky so the stars would shine bright
You stand straight-faced, and tip-toed on top of a ladder
And I, I wait and I, I wait, and I, I wait

And when I'm left at home, I'm all alone but I'd rather be alone with you
So what is this weather, and what is this darkness
And why do I feel so alone?
When will it snow, it's been raining for hours
And why do I feel so alone?
Oh why do I feel so alone?

Taffy

My friend's got a bruise on his leg, a bruise on his leg
Everytime you speak
My friend's got a bruise on his leg, where I press my knee
Everytime you speak
Actually, bottom line, you tell the truth sometimes
Sometimes you tell the truth like you're pulling taffy

My friend's got a bruise on his arm, a bruise on his arm
Everytime you speak
My friend's got a bruise on his arm, where I shove my elbow
Everytime you speak
Actually, bottom line, you tell the truth sometimes
And sometimes you tell the truth like you're pulling taffy

My friend's got a bruise on his ribs where I poke my finger
Everytime you speak
My friend's got a bruise on his rib, his rib cage is now numb
Everytime you speak
Actually, bottom line, you tell the truth sometimes
Sometimes you tell the truth like you're pulling taffy

Waiting for Wednesday

Waiting for Wednesday, my stomach doesn't hurt enough
Pain always is the sign
Waiting for Wednesday, no proof of mine exists
So l don't have to take it back
Don't want to show you good-bye,
Show you good-bye, show you goodbye
Show you good-bye

But you're waiting for Wednesday, waiting for Wednesday
Waiting for Wednesday, I pray you'll put me on the spot
I do believe you, that you'll love me that you'll leave me
Don't want to show you good-bye, show you good-bye

What will I do when you come near to me?
You'll put me on the spot
You've been doing this a long, long time,
Not that you're better than me, but that you do it a lot
Now I'm waiting for Wednesday, waiting for Wednesday
Waiting for Wednesday, I'm waiting for Wednesday.
I'm gonna show you good-bye,
Show you good-bye, show you good-bye
Show you good-bye

Now I'm waiting for Wednesday
You're back from out of town, the West is dry, your mind is clear
And I don't want to be here, I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here
To show you good-bye

And I'm waiting for Wednesday, waiting for Wednesday
I'm waiting for Wednesday, to show you good-bye
I don't want to be here
Waiting for Wednesday, I don't want to be here.
Waiting for Wednesday, to show you good-bye, to show you good-bye
I don't want to be here
Waiting for Wednesday to show you good-bye
To show you good-bye

When All the Stars Were Falling

When all the stars were falling
I reached up like you said
All the stars were falling, one hit me in the head
And I fell down, down, down, I fell down, down

When all the stars were falling, they fell from above
And I thought of hate, and I thought of hate and then I thought of love
And I fell down, down, down, I fell down, down
And I've learned how to dance from a Vincent Van Gogh
And the nights were wrapped in a white sheet
And now no one even says hello,
Cause I couldn't stand on my two feet
I fell down, I fell down
Down, down, down, down, down down

Now the peace you will find, in your own you have found
Lights of the city are the stars on the ground
"I may not be a quaalude living in a speed zone,"
But I could be restful, I could be someone's home if I fell down
And I fell down, down

Now all the stars have fallen

Lisa Listen

Who would steal on Sunday?
Who'd made them believe make believe?
Who'd buy a prayer when you can pray for free?
If the way you drank your coffee was the way you looked at me,
Then I could take both my hands off the TV.
I've been sleeping on half of my bed lately,
And thinking about what you said to me,
You're tipsy, you're turning, you are alive, you are burning oh

Lisa, won't you listen?
The moon shines for you.
You're tipsy, you're turning, you are alive, you are burning oh

A sweet man will sing a seafaring song,
And a dear, strong woman coos gently along.
Good guys at the Cozy are servin' folks for free.
Did you ever notice there are so many people in bands in the city oh
I've been sleeping on half of my bed lately,
And thinking about what you said to me,
You're tipsy, you're turning, you are alive, you are burning oh

And I will not judge you by the way you play your instrument.
No, that's true as fiction, sometimes I do,
But the moon shines halfway sometimes too oh
Lisa, won't you listen?
The moon shines for you
You're tipsy you're turning, you've got one foot on the floor
You're alive, you are burning oh
You always wanted more oh

Do You Sleep?

Do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore?
Do you sleep, do you count sheep anymore?
Do you sleep anymore?
Do you take plight on my tongue like lead?
Do you fall gracefully into bed anymore?

I saw you as you walked across my room
You looked out the window, you looked at the moon
And you sat on the corner of my bed
And you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head

No I don't know, and I don't care if I ever will see you again
I don't know and I don't care if I ever will be there oh

Do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore?
Do you sleep, do you keep me anymore?

You kick my foot under the table, I kick you back
I can't say I'm able to stand for you or fall for you ever again
Wish for a perfect setting
Wishing that I am letting you take me where you want me
All over again?
You can't give yourself absolutely to someone else

And I don't know, and I don't care if I ever will see you again
I don't know, and I don't care if I ever will be there

I saw you as you walked across my room
You looked out the window, you looked at the moon
And you sat on the corner of my bed
And you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head

Do you eat, sleep, do you breathe me anymore?
Do you sleep, do you count sheep anymore?
Do you sleep anymore?

I don't know, and I don't care if I ever will be there
Will be there

Garden of Delights

I see the lights move on the ceiling.
And I see the stars up in the lights.
I see the moonbeams on your forehead there,
And I think about the Garden of Delights.

You see the curtains draped in front of me.
And you see the sun come up alone.
You want to show me just what you can see ,
And I, I turn away

You see my face, you hate my words, I hate you too.
You see my heart, it likes the feeling that it gets when I'm with you.

I look right at your eyes I look right through your eyes.
And I change conversation thought for you.
And I throw a look that you can't catch from far behind,
And you, you turn away.

You are my Jesus boy, you're laying on a bedly cross,
I've got you taped up to the wall.
But really don't feel bad cause you do to me all the things I do to you.
I do to you.
(Ba ba da ba ba)

I see the lights move on the ceiling,
I see the stars up in the lights.
I see the moonbeams on your forehead there
And I think about the Garden of Delights.

I see the lights move on the ceiling,
I see the stars up in the lights.
I see the moonbeams on your forehead there
And I think about the Garden of Delights.

Hurricane

Skeleton boy by the side of the road
He warned me, he told me
He said "There's this woman, she's a hurricane
She will heal your heart up, she is hurrying."
He said, "Don't look for holidays
Don't look, just run away
Go suffocate, and choke your own cry
Go where the water, where the water, seeps from the pink sky
But behead this woman, she's a hurricane
She will heal your heart up, she is hurrying
Remember your reflection in a pool, in a puddle"

And the leaves sped top-speed towards me
And my image was muddled
I'm a lightheaded wonder, she said
Don't you see my mind slow down?
I'm a lightheaded wonder, don't you see my mind slow down?
Slow down

I've compassion for strangers
An affinity for danger
Won't you be my sacrifice?

I'm a lightheaded wonder, she said
Don't you see my mind slow down for you?
And for you?"
You're a headless woman, you're a hurricane
You will heal my heart up
No, I will heal my own heart up, because you are hurting
I'm a sunburn slap upon your arm, I'll twist you til you break
You're a hurricane

Stay

You say I only hear what I want to
You say I talk so all the time so
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong cause I missed you
Yeah yeah, I missed you

And you say I only hear what I want to
I don't listen hard
Don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
To anyone, anywhere
I don't understand if you really care
I'm only hearing negative no, no, no
So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
Lover's in love, and the other's run away
Lover is crying cause the other won't stay
Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
Dying since the day they were born
Well, well, this is not that
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown
And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure
You try to tell me that I'm clever
But that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you

You said that I was naive
And I thought that I was strong
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, cause I missed you
Yeah, I miss you
You said, "You caught me cause you want me
And one day you'll let me go
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me
Cause you know you're just scared to lose
And you say, "stay."
You say I only hear what I want to

Rose-Colored Times

Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed
Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide
Shabby tried to comb her hair with the gift from her grandma
Her blood tangled she got halfway
Sticky and powdered with dirt from the ground
Where her mama had left her
Had left her, had left her

Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed
Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide
With your eyes open wide

Rusty the screen door, she opened it
Raised from the ground
Mama left me her ring, mama left me no family
Just barstools, and boyfriends, and whiskey at nighttime, and bedtime
Bedtime, bedtime, bedtime

I'll go with the man who looks like my father
The neighbors all tell me to go with him
He better take caution, he better take care of me
Cause if he don't, he better beware of me

Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed
Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide
With your eyes open wide, with your eyes open wide
Wide, wide, wide,
Eyes open wide open wide
Eyes oh eyes open wide
