I'm packed
and I'm holding I'm smiling She's living she's golden she lives a me says she lives a me Ovation her own motivation She comes round and she goes down on me And I make her smile like a drug for you Do ever what you want to do Coming over you Keep on smiling what we go through One stop to the rhythm that divides you And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse Chop another line like a coda with a curse come on like a freak show takes the stage We give them the games we play say I want something else To get me through this Semi charmed kind of life Baby Baby I want something else I'm not listening when you say Goodbye The sky was gold it was rose I was taking sips sorry through my nose And I wish it could get back there Some place back there Smiling in the pictures you would take Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break It won't stop I won't come down I keep stock with a tick tock rhythm a bump for the drop And then I bumped up I took the hit that I was given Then I bumped again then I bumped again How do I get back there To the place who I fell asleep inside you How do I get myself back to The place where you said I want something else to get me through this semi charmed kind of life Baby Baby I want something else I'm not listening when you say goodbye I believe in the sand beneath my toes beach gives a feeling earthy feeling I believe in the faith that grows And the four right chords can make me cry When I'm with you I feel like I could die And that would be all right all right When the plane came in she said she was crashing The velvet it rips in the city We tripped on the urge to feel alive But now I'm struggling to survive The days you were wearing that velvet dress You're the priestess I must confess Those little red panties they pass the test a Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress One and you hold me And we are broken Still it's all that I want to do Just a little now Feel myself head made of the ground I'm scared I'm not coming down And I won't run for my life She's got her just now locked now in a smile But nothing is all right all right And I want something else to get me through this life Baby I want something else not listening when you say Goodbye goodbye goodbye The sky was gold it was rose I was taking sips sorry through my nose And I wish it could get back there Some place back there in the place is you the star |

Losing a whole year
Losing a whole year I remember you and me used to spend The whole goddamned day in bed Losing a whole year Hiding in your room we'd lay like dogs The phone would ring like a joke that's left unsaid Losing a whole year Rich daddy left you with a parachute Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute But your daddy left you with no love You touch everything with a velvet glove and Now you want to try a life of sin You want to be down with the down and in Always copping my truths I kind of get the feeling like I'm being used And now I realise that you never heard One goddamned word I ever said Losing a whole year Losing a whole year Took your stuff and put it in the basement When I found out what the smile on your face meant I've seen you pop that check Craning your neck at the car wreck It always seems the juice used to flow In the car in the kitchen you were good to go Now we're stuck with the tube A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube And I remember you and me used to spend The whole goddamned day in bed Losing a whole year And if it's not the defense then you're on the attack When you start talking I hear the Prozac Convinced you've found your place With the pierced queer teens in cyberspace When you were yourself it tasted sweet But it sours into a routine deceit Well this drama is a bore And I don't want to play no more Losing a whole year I remember you and me used to spend The whole goddamned day in bed |

I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
Before you take a swing, I wonder What are we fighting for When I say out loud, I wanna get out of this I wonder, is there anything I'm gonna miss I wonder, how it's gonna be When you don't know me How's it gonna be When you're sure I'm not there Hows it gonna be When there's no one there to talk to Between you and me Cause I don't care How's it gonna be How's it gonna be Where we used to laugh There's a shouting match Sharp as a thumbnail scratch A silence I can't ignore Like the hammock by the doorway We spent time in Swings empty I don't see lightning like last fall When it was always about to hit me I wonder how's it gonna be When it goes down How's it gonna be When you're not around How's it gonna be When you found out there was was nothing Between you and me Cause I don't care How's it gonna be How's it gonna be When you don't know me anymore How's it gonna be Want to get myself back in again THe soft dive of oblivion I wanna taste the salt of your skin The soft dive of oblivion How's it gonna be When you don't me anymore How's it gonna be (Repeat |

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in, And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand. I would understand, The angry boy, a bit too insane, Icing over a secret pain, You know you don't belong, You're the first to fight, You're way too loud, You're The flash of light, On a burial shroud, I know something's wrong, Well everyone I know has got a reason, To say, put the past away, I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, You could cut ties with all the lies, That you've been living in, And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand, I would understand. Well he's on the table, And he's gone to code, And I do not think anyone knows, What they are doing here, And your friends have left, You've been dismissed, I never thought it would come to this, And I, I want you to know, Everyone's got to face down the demons, Maybe today, We can put the past away, I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in, And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand, I would understand, I would understand... Can you put the past away, I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, I would understand... |

Can I Graduate,
Can I look into the faces that I meet, Can I get my punk-ass off the street, I've been living on for so long, Can I Graduate, To the bastard talking down to me, Your whipping boy calamity, Cross your fingers, I'm going to knock it all down, Can I Graduate, Echo fading, We can't let go, She goes walking by in slow mo', Sell your heart out for a buck, Go on, Fade out, Before I get stuck, Talking to somebody like you, Do you live the days you go through, Will this song live on long after we do, Can I Graduate, Can I look into the faces that I meet, Can I get my punk-ass off the street, Won't die on the vine I want to knock it all down, Can I Graduate, Echo fading, Candle blow, Did you flash out long ago, Cross my fingers, I don't know Someone poked you down below, Can I Graduate, Can I get my punk-ass off the street, Can I look into the faces that I meet, I'm not waiting here for you to die, Will this song live on long after we do |

I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads Nickels and dimes, yours and mine, did you cash in all your dreams You don't dream for me, no (goodbye, goodbye) you don't dream for me, no But I still feel you pulse like sonar from the days in the waves That girl is like a sunburn I would like to say The girl is like a sunburn I would like to say She's like a sunburn She's like a sunburn |

When we met light was shed, Thoughts free flow you said you've got something, Deep inside of you, A wind chime vocie sound, sway of you hips round rings true, It goes deep inside of you, These secret garden beams changed my life so it seams, Fall breeze blows outside, I don't break stride, My thoughts are warm, & they go, Deep inside of you, Oh yeah, And I've never felt alone, (alright ohahah) till I met you, Friends say I've changed, I don't listen, cause I live to be, Deep inside of you, Slide of her dress, shouts in darkness, I'm so alive, I'm Deep inside of you You said, boy make girl feel good, But still, deep inside, still, I never felt alone, Till I met you, I'm alright on my own, & then I met you, And I'd know what to do if I just knew what's coming, I would change myself if I could, I'd walk with my people if I could find them, I would say that I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry to you, but I don't want to call, you, but then I want to call you Cause I don't want to crush you, but I feel like crushing you and it's true I took for granted you were with me I breath by you looks and you look right through me But we were broke and didn't know (in background repeat -- 3X ) We were broke and didn't know Something gone you withdraw and I'm not strong like before I was Deep inside of you I can go nowhere I burn candles and stare at a ghost Deep inside of you And some great need in me, starts to bleed I've lost myself there's nothing left It's all gone Deep inside of you Deep inside of you Deep inside of you, |

Just an old friend coming over now to visit you and
That's what I've become I let myself in though I know I'm not supposed to but I never know when I'm done And I see you fogging up the mirror Vapor round your body glistens in the shower And I want to stay right here and go down on you for an hour Or stay, and let the day just fade away In wild dedication, take the moment of hope And let it run, and never look back at all the damage we have done now To each other Cause when I see you, it's like I'm starring down the sun And I'm blinded There's nothing left to do Still I see you I never believed that things they happen for a reason and They never go as planned I wanted to thank you for a vision that was lost that you returned but You're passed do you understand Now her appetite is blown, little else is known Except she a little angry, grabs a towel and looks away And heat fades with the day And I fall down on what to say, Oh something clean let me be clever Hey oh well whatever But that's not what I mean When where we've been has left us burned Still I won't turn now from a fight you know I'll never win So when I see you, you know all the things I've done Well I'm blinded Like I'm staring down the sun When I see you It's like I'm staring down the sun Time passes and it tells us what we're left with We become the things we do Me I'm a fool, spent from defiance, yeah you got me but I didn't give up on you Icarus is not a tee shirt or a swan song, no He is born again and it's not easy being me But I can't promise I will mend or bend When you believe that we are fixed now from our birth And I've just fallen back to earth Still you know I'll try again Cause I believe that we are lucky We are golden we're stolen manners In the days when we were one [Chorus] So when I see you, despite all that we've become I'm still blinded But I'm still staring down the sun When I see you I'm blinded |

I close my eyes and I see a freak, I think it's me and I'm afraid to speak
I keep on going from week to weakness way out in a line. I dream of lives we could have had before, but the heat is broke down open doorways. Friends of yours will tell me more what happens in your mind Can we try and take the high road though we don't know where it ends I want to be your Crystal Baller I want to show you how it ends Macrame queens in the afternoon and I'm in tune or did I speak too soon Punch drunk on somebody's joke, what happened to the time A footnote in your dance of days, In my mind that record still plays Still wonder what the fuck it says, and hoping there is time Can we try and take the high road though we don't know where it ends I want to be your Crystal Baller I can show you how it ends Can we talk about tomorrow and the promise that it brings I want to be your Crystal Baller, I want to show everything I wonder what the whole things for, I wonder what the whole things for In the moment you were screaming at me I would have been somebody else And the patrons of the pub keep singing Macrame queens in the afternoon and I'm in tune or did I speak too soon Punch drunk on somebody's joke what happened to the time I dream of lives we could have had before where the heat is broke down open doorways Like waiting for a trick to score, It seems that way some times I wonder where were all going, I'm homesick for your primal knowing I wonder why the wind keeps blowing you through my mind Try and take the high road remember we were friends I want to be your Crystal Baller I want to be your diamond ring The one I never gave you and the promise that it brings Let me be your Crystal Baller I will show you everything. I'll be your Crystal Baller |

Could you believe it
Those sapphire eyes The brilliant girl with the famous thighs Then the cameras click then we are stars Laughing in the back of chauffeured cars Phone call rings and your voice is desire Then winter moves into summer fires I promised you what's ours is ours Somewhere backstage with Sean and Lars I go crazy when you walk in the room I laugh at myself with the girl in bloom The taste of sex couldn't be too soon All afternoon then LA parties in the phony lands Phony grabs with the manicured hands I always thought you were pretty like a whip Should have watched my step Cause I keep on forgetting myself And I keep on forgetting myself Who am I we both don't know Time ticks by, where did you go You always knew Where you were going to So sweetly you said Please come with you The biggest fear running thru my head You said you loved you meant what you said I was floating, did it go to my head We always sleep with the dogs in the bed LA parties and the vodka fizz This is not my life or maybe it is I keep on forgetting myself And I keep on forgetting myself Who am I we both don't know Time ticks by, where did you go Oh, I made you doubt me Oh, you're better off without me Think I am looking over your shoulder Cause there's someone younger and you're feeling older You're crazy and you never faded I don't want to be so complicated See my life come undone Watch it go and let the damage run I'd change the song now if I could In the slickness of your blood I keep on forgetting myself And I keep on forgetting myself Whose that guy, I don't know Where did you go |

I miss the sand on the concrete floor I miss the way it was before no one even knew me your eyes looked right through me And I’m taking off your clothes And you bloom like a rose I can’t get away from you And where the ocean meets the land Is like the sliding of your hand Prickles up my skin And I can feel the changing weather While alone along that coast Sense memories of your ghost I can’t get away from you Deliver me, shut me up Deliver me Give into me, Release Deliver me, deliver me Through the airport corridors In magazines in stores If I see your face once more Cause you know I can’t ignore it I recognize that pose When you bloomed like a rose I can’t get away from you The jeep gets broke on a blown out road and I’m a tourist with a real light load Will the government hold one month away, missed our places where we always stay How come we always pick these spots Feeling like a have in the land of have nots, sleeping on cots Wishing that I had some tater-tots And there’s postcards written I know I’ll never send The moment is gone and won’t come again I ride with souls who find no peace Still I look to you to find release And the travelers return Through the panic doors Walking through the airport corridors Welcome back now from the foreign shores And I walk alone And the ghost that I carry is your Tiger shark is azure blue I hope the vision you had returns to you |

Summer time and the wind is blowing,
Outside in lower Chelsea, And I don't know What I'm doing in this city, The sun is always in my eyes, It crashes through the windows, And I'm sleeping on the couch, When I came to visit you, That's when I knew, I could never have you, I knew that before you did, Still I'm feeling stupid, And there's this burning, Like there's always been, I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive, Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by, Cigarette ash flies in your eyes, And you don't mind, And you smile, And say the world doesn't fit with you. I don't believe you, You're so serene, Careening through the universe, Your axis on a tilt, Guiltless and free, I hope you take a piece of me with you, And there's things I'd like to do that, You don't believe in, I would like to build something, You know it's never going to happen, And there's this burning, Like there's always been, I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive, And there's this burning, There is this burning, Where's the soul, I want to know, New York City is evil, The surface is everything, But I could never do that, Someone would see through that, And this will be the last time, We'll be friends again, I'll get over you and you'll wonder, Who I am, And there's this burning, Like there's always been, I've never been so alone, And I've never been so alive, I go home to the coast, It starts to rain, I paddle out, On the water, Alone, Taste the salt and taste the pain, I'm not thinking of you again, Summer dies and swells rise, The sun goes down in my eyes, See this rolling wave, Darkly coming to take me, Home, And I never been so alone, And I've never been so alive |

Used to worry for each other
No one's bothered like before We sleep with each others friends Sneak around, fall apart And come back for more We sit around drinking tables Stabilized and keeping score But my mind is somewhere out the door Oh, we have grown Maybe I've overstayed awhile In my time in exile and Oh time has flown and the Only thing I've learned I want a life now of my own We go to clubs, the songs are old The evening's blown Go our ways and take taxis home Talk of Sunday outings And medicate to fight the doubting But know we'll always be alone Oh, we have grown Maybe I've overstayed awhile In my time in exile and Oh time has flown And the only thing I've learned I want a life now of my own That's my year spent in exile Second guessed and dressed up in tatters My both feet didn't take this path And I'm still looking for a life that matters More than chit chat We listen to The Streets We're all deadbeats and these old habits Are starting to show through Sorry I didn't get to know you Oh, we have grown Maybe I've overstayed awhile In my time in exile and Oh time has flown And the only thing I've learned I want a life now of my own Bye, bye To the friends I've known In my time in exile |

Just give me a call when you feel better
but you never do and I'm just another debtor to some palm reader whose got her hands mixed up Palm readers breath smells of brandy and cigarettes As she sells me and sweet forgets, she needs something to get her through, she runs a scam like me and you yeah me and you Freud said that love was a good psychosis, but I don't know I've had too many doses He's a creep and we all know that he probably made it up Believe in me and this lie Tell me everything will be all right Cause it's so good to believe But don't turn my hope into a weapon I kept your sweater till the scent was gone wrapped up in my hands when the days where long but I'm still sniffing I walk alone in the concrete with the living Where pigeons fly till they gather round the fallen ones, they don't know why neither do I: [Chorus] There's no one to trust except maybe the two of us But that's in the past the place where I'm living is haunting broken dreams I read horoscopes in magazines especially yours in the sign of the Leo, the regal one but man you let your claws show oh it's so slow, when will they let me go [Chorus] |

We cruse high in the summer sky
I believe everything you say 'Cause you're not frightened The way I've been so So I follow you Just in case you lose your way So glad you let me stay around The chain link fence you climbed To make forbidden lakes our own Yours and mine And with ease of the sea gulls We cut the engines and we cruise high In the summer sky, baby Now I could speak to everything But there's no room for my voice When sweet feedback Is jumpin' through the hoop of your earring There goes the phone And then you're off again On what the caller brings you So I went and trashed myself at the bar Confused for nothin' Thinkin' you'd be there I'm so embarrassed 'cause it's you Who comes to take care of me Shamblin' home again with you to lead And it's not the way I wanna go And I'm mad at you and I'm mad at me Talking endlessly, not a kind word to say Till your amber beads of wisdom come And I want to write 'em down Just the way you said it, oh no So I could keep it always, always I can't forget the smell Of summer trees at midnight Bendin' backwards to please the wind You touch the tattoo of the sun On a warm belly that once Carried a baby for a while Then let that crackled leather jacket round you fold Red face saints monogrammed in gold And in this beauty I would not go any further 'Cause I suddenly remembered We can't live this way forever Idle daylight, oh I've never caught you in a lie Not until now I feel somehow I felt the passing of these days goin' by What will you do when the feeling That you have is through I need to know 'Cause I'll never stop hangin' on to you And it's times like this that I dread When there's everything to say And nothing left To be said To be said And it makes me sad |

Wounded
The guy who put his hands on you Has got nothing to do with me And the bruises that you feel will heal And I hope you’ll come around Cause we’re missing you You used to speak so easy Now you’re afraid to talk to me It’s like walking with the wounded Carrying that weight way too far The concrete pulled you down so hard Out there with the wounded Missing you Well I never claimed to understand what happens after dark But my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of touching you But when you’re wounded Let me break it down till I force the issue We miss your face and you know I wish you Would come back down to the Dalva Bar You tell them, that’s just my battle scar I want to kiss you And knock them down like we used to You’re the marigold Till you’re walking down shaking that ass again And then you walk on, baby, walk on You’re an angel in the pit with her hands in the air And we’re missing you Now it’s fall, and your shoulder’s get tighter Nervous flicks on the lighter, boots Your pissed off poets, your women’s groups And the friends with you, we should have known this fool Well I guess we missed the mark Still my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of Them touching you Now you’re wounded Let me break it down till I force the issue You never come around, and you know we miss you Well nobody took your pride away That’s something people say Back down the bully to the back of the bus Cos it’s time for them to be scared of us Till you’re yelling, how we living cause you got the ball Then you rock on, baby, rock on, you rock on On and on You’re a summer time hottie with her socks in the air Screaming I won’t care, baby, I don’t care, no You say you don’t know You say you can’t grow All I know is we’re missing you You’re the marigold Show up wounded |

Every thought that I repent,
There's another chip you haven't spent, And you're cashing them all in, Where do we begin, To get clean again, Can we get clean again, I walk home alone with you, And the mood you're born into, Sometimes you let me in, And I take it on the chin, I can't get clean again, I want to know, Can we get clean again, The God of Wine comes crashing through, The headlights of a car that, Took you farther than you thought you'd ever want to go, We can't get back again, We can't get back again, She takes a drink and then she waits, The alcohol it permeates, And soon the cells give way, And cancels out the day, I can't keep it all together, I know... I can't keep it all together, And the siren's song that is your madness, Holds a truth I can't erase, All alone on your face, Every glamorous sunrise, Throws the planets out of line, A star sign out of whack, A fraudulent zodiac, And the God of Wine is crouched down in my room, You let me down, I said it, Now I'm going down, And you're not even around. And I said no... I can't keep it all together, I know... I can't keep it all together, And there's a memory of a window, Looking through I see you. Searching for something, I could never give you, And there's someone who understands you, More than I do, A sadness I can't erase, All alone on your face |

Losing a whole year I remember you and me used to spend The whole goddamned day in bed Losing a whole year Hiding in your room we'd lay like dogs The phone would ring like a joke that's left unsaid Losing a whole year Rich daddy left you with a parachute Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute But your daddy left you with no love You touch everything with a velvet glove and Now you want to try a life of sin You want to be down with the down and in Always copping my truths I kind of get the feeling like I'm being used And now I realise that you never heard One goddamned word I ever said Losing a whole year Losing a whole year Took your stuff and put it in the basement When I found out what the smile on your face meant I've seen you pop that check Craning your neck at the car wreck It always seems the juice used to flow In the car in the kitchen you were good to go Now we're stuck with the tube A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube And I remember you and me used to spend The whole goddamned day in bed Losing a whole year And if it's not the defense then you're on the attack When you start talking I hear the Prozac Convinced you've found your place With the pierced queer teens in cyberspace When you were yourself it tasted sweet But it sours into a routine deceit Well this drama is a bore And I don't want to play no more Losing a whole year I remember you and me used to spend The whole goddamned day in bed |
