6 am day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark The smell of cold Car seat is freezing The world is sleeping I am numb Up the stairs to her apartment She is balled up on the couch Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte They're not home to find us out And we drive Now that I have found someone I'm feeling more alone Than I ever have before She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly They call her name at 7:30 I pace around the parking lot Then I walk down to buy her flowers And sell some gifts that I got Can't you see It's not me you're dying for Now she's feeling more alone Than she ever has before She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly As weeks went by It showed that she was not fine They told me son it's time to tell the truth She broke down and I broke down Cause I was tired of lying Driving back to her apartment For a moment we're alone Yeah she's alone I'm alone Now I know it She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly |

Won't you look up at the skyline
At the mortar block and glass And check out the reflections in my eyes See they always used to be there Even when this was all was grass And I sang and danced about a high rise And you were laughing at my helmet hat Laughing at my torch Go ahead and laugh all you want I got my philosophy And I trust it like the ground That's why my philosophy Keeps me walking when I'm falling down I see that there is evil And I know that there is good And the in betweens I never understood Would you look at me I'm crazy But I get the job done I'm crazy but I get the job done So go ahead and laugh all you want I got my philosophy And I trust it like the ground That's why my philosophy Keeps me walking when I'm falling down I pushed you cause I loved you guys I didn't realize That you weren't having fun And I dragged you up the stairs And I told you to fly You were flapping your arms started to cry too high too high Now you take this all for granted You take the mortar block and glass And you forget the speech that moved the stone And it's really not that you can't see The forest from the trees You just never been out in the woods alone So you can laugh all you want to But I've got my philosophy And I love you you're my friend But you got no philosophy Now it's time for this song to end |

I was never cool in school
I'm sure you don't remember me And now it's been 10 years I'm still wondering who to be But I'd love to mix In circles, cliques, and social coteries - that's me Hand me my nose ring (Can we be happy?) Show me the mosh pit (Can we be happy?) We can be happy underground Who's got the looks, who's got the brains Who's got everything I got this pain in my heart, that's all Hey you with the long and lonely face There's got to be something else Let me tell ya something else There was this girl who passed me by She gave a smile but I was shy I looked down, so down Don't look there no no, go go underground But now there's a place to go It's the morning, it's the evening It's everything I click my heels and I'm there Underground, underground Everything's happy underground You been kicked around Did life bring you down here Everything's heavy underground We'll be decked in all black and Slamming the pit fantastic Officer Friendly's little boy's got a mohawk He knows just where we're coming from It's industrial, work it underground Get down, get down, get down Underground, underground Everything's happy underground You been kicked around Did life bring you down here Everything's heavy underground |

We'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault And in a way I guess it was I'm just now finding out What it was all about Moved to the west coast away from everyone She never told me that you called Back when I was still I was still in love Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door And the clouds came tumbling down And it's bye bye goodbye I tried And I twisted it wrong just to make it right Had to leave myself behind I've been flying high all night So come pick me up I've landed The daily dramas she made from nothing So nothing ever made them right She liked to push me and talk me back down Until I believed I was the crazy one and in a way I guess I was But I opened my eyes and walked out the door And the clouds came tumbling down And it's bye bye goodbye I tried Treading a sea of a troubled mind Had to leave myself behind Singing bye bye goodbye I tried If you wrote me off I'd understand it Because I've been on some other planet So come pick me up I've landed And you will be so happy to know I've come alone it's over But I opened my eyes and walked out the door And the clouds came tumbling down And it's by my goodbye I tried Down comes the reign of the telephone czar It's OK to call Now I'll answer for myself Come pick me up |

I don't get many things right
the first time In fact I am told that a lot Now I know all the wrong turns The stumbles and falls brought me here And where was I before the day That I first saw your lovely face Now I see it everyday And I know that I am I am I am the luckiest What if I'd been born fifty years before you In a house on the street where you live Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike Would I know And in a wide sea of eyes I see one pair that I recognize And I know that I am I am I am the luckiest I love you more than I have Ever found a way to say to you Next door there's an old man who lived to his 90's And one day passed away in his sleep And his wife she stayed for a couple of days And passed away I'm sorry I know that's a strange way To tell you that I know we belong That I know that I am I am I am the luckiest |

Throw this book away All the sadness all the rage Throw this book away Rip out the binding tear the glue all of the grief we never even knew We had it all along Now its smoke The things we've written in it Never really happened All the things we've written Never really happened All of the people come and gone Never really lived All of the people have come have gone No one to forgive smoke We will never write a new one There will not be a new one Another one another one Here's an evening dark with shame Throw it on the fire here's the time I took the blame Throw it on the fire Here's the time we didn't speak it seemed for years and years Here's a secret No one will ever know the reasons for the tears They are smoke smoke smoke We will never write a new one There will not be a new one Another one another one Where do all the secrets live They travel in the air You can smell them when they burn They travel Those who say the past is not dead Stop and smell the smoke You keep on saying the past is not dead stop and smell the smoke You keep saying the past is not even past You keep saying We are smoke smoke smoke |

The squirrels and the birds come Gather 'round and sing the guitar Oh I have you got nothing to say When all words fail she speaks Her mix tape's a masterpiece Walks through the garden so the roses can see Oh I have you got nothing to say And you can see Daisies in her footsteps Dandelions butterflies I wanna be Kate Kate Kate Kate Everyday she wears the same thing I think she smokes pot She's everything I want she's everything I'm not Oh I have you got nothing to say She never gets wet she smiles and it's a rainbow And she speaks and she breathes I wanna be Kate Kate Kate Kate Down by Rosemary and Cameron She hands out the Bhagavad Gita I see her around every couple days I wanna see her so that I can say hey Kate She never gets wet she smiles and it's a rainbow You can see I wanna wanna wanna wanna be Kate Kate Kate no no Kate Kate Kate No no no no no no |

They even looked at each other
once across a crowded bar He was with Martha she was with Tom Neither of them really knew what was going on Strange feeling of never Heartbeats becoming synchronized and staying that way forever Most of the time it was just near misses Air kisses once at a bookstore once at a party She came in as he was leaving And years ago at the movies she sat behind him A 6:30 showing of While You Were Sleeping He never once looked around It's so easy from above You can really see it all People who belong together Lost and sad and small But there's nothing to be done for them It doesn't work that way Sure we all have soulmates but we walk past them every day oh no And it's not like they were ever actually unhappy in the lives they lived He married Martha she married Tom Just this vague notion that something was wrong A naked absence a phantom limb An itch that could never be scratched It's so easy from above You can really see it all People who belong together Lost and sad and small But there's nothing to be done for them It doesn't work that way Sure we all have soulmates but we walk past them every day oh no Neither of them knew what was going on A strange feeling of never Heartbeats becoming synchronized And staying that way forever Who knows whether that's how it should be Maybe our ghosts live in that vacancy Maybe that's how books get written Maybe that's why songs get sung Maybe we owe the unlucky ones It's so easy from above You can really see it all People who belong together Lost and sad and small But there's nothing to be done for them It doesn't work that way Sure we all have soulmates but we walk past them every day oh no Maybe that's how books get written Maybe that's why songs get sung Maybe we owe the unlucky ones Maybe that's how books get written Maybe that's why songs get sung Maybe we owe the unlucky ones |

I met this girl
she looked like Axl Rose Got drunk and took her home and we slept in our clothes In the morning put my feet on the floor and thought Being awake never felt like this before And Julianne y'know she wouldn't approve Spent all day on the phone 'cause I had nothing to do Got rid of Axl by the afternoon Being awake never felt so clear and blue That's all I knew Guess that I was innocent too I'll sing a song and it won't be the blues I don't miss Julianne A friend she told me she felt sorry for me She said the truth would come crashing down on me That I'd be sorry but the truth of it is That I feel guilty for not giving a shit That's all I knew Guess that I was innocent too I'll sing a song and it won't be the blues I don't miss Julianne I got my bag of trash I got my bag of trash I drag it up and down I drag it up and down the road How could she miss a man Who drags a bag of trash down the road This week I feel like I been born again I know that Julianne would have a fit She'd find a reason for the things that I did she gave me credit for the things that I've never been That's all I knew Guess that I was innocent too I can try just as hard as I can But I don't miss Julianne |

Barren stares as they
light up the screen Bearing teardrops that shatter in slow motion No vocaine our brains and we're out like lights But as I'm growing older I'm bored I remember when misery thrilled me much more When I can't relax And I'd like to go back But that's gone Yeah that's gone Turn around Turn the volume down We're counting the days down Till the day when we live in a video I'll be stone faced and pale You'll pout in stereo 24 hours every day of the year Oh what fun I can't wait 'til the future gets here Closing in on the pain and the torture He's slamming the doors like it's something to strive for The girl tearing the curtains down looks funny as hell And of sense of humor can there be any doubt But that natural selection has weeded it out Used to keep me from laughing out loud But that's gone We don't think that way no more That's gone turn around turn the volume down We're counting the days down Till the day when we live in a video I'll be stone faced and pale You'll pout in stereo 24 hours every day of the year Oh what fun I can't wait 'til the future gets here I've seen some old friends sort of die Or just turn into whatever Must've been inside them And whatever all of us had then in common Grew up and left home We don't think that way no more Turn around turn the volume down We're counting the days down Till the day when we live in a video I'll be stone faced and pale You'll pout in stereo 24 hours every day of the year Oh what fun I can't wait 'til the future gets here |

All is quiet his tired eyes
see figures jotted down And clothes all strewn around the bedroom floor Now nothing's adding up And nothing's making sense She's sleeping like a baby She doesn't know he wasn't meant for this I'm missing the war I'm missing the war all night Missing the war Missing the war He drove home again Pissed and beaten Its really no big deal It happens all the time Its no big deal I'm missing the war I'm missing the war all night Missing the war I'm missing the war 'Till beads of sunlight hit me in the morning So much time so little to say Time may fly And dreams may die The shaking voice that tells him go Still thinks he might He knows he won't I'm missing the war Missing the war all night Missing the war I'm missing the war Missing the war Missing the war |

from the back of your
big brown eyes i knew you'd be gone as soon as you could and i hoped you would we could see that you weren't yourself and the lines on your face did tell it's just as well you'd never be yourself again saw you last night dance by the light of the moon stars in your eyes free from the life that you knew you're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground you're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round trading places with an angel now saw you last night dance by the light of the moon stars in your eyes free from the life that you knew saw you last night stars in the sky smiled in my room |

Fred sits alone at
his desk in the dark There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall He's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes Things that remind him Life has been good Twenty five years He's worked at the paper A man's here to take him downstairs And I'm sorry Mr. Jones It's time There was no party there were no songs 'Cause today's just a day like the day that he started Noone has left here that knows his first name And life barrels on like a runaway train Where the passengers change They don't change anything You get off someone else can get on And I'm sorry Mr. Jones It's time Streetlight shines through the shades Casting lines on the floor and lines on his face He reflects on the day Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement Projecting some slides onto a plain white Canvas and traces it Fills in the spaces He turns off the slides and it doesn't look right Yeah and all of these bastards Have taken his place He's forgotten but not yet gone And I'm sorry Mr. Jones And I'm sorry Mr. Jones And I'm sorry Mr. Jones It's time |

in this restaurant What do you think they weigh look out the window to the parking lot At their SUV's taking all the space They give no fuck They talk as loud as they want They give no fuck Just as long as there's enough for them Gonna get on the microphone down at Wal Mart Talk about some shit that's been on my mind Talk of the state of this great nation of ours People look to your left Yeah look to your right They give no fuck They buy as much as they want They give no fuck Just as long as there's enough for them Son look at the people lining up for plastic Wouldn't you like to see them in the National Geographic Squatting bare assed in the dirt eating rice from a bowl With a towel on their head and maybe a bone in their nose See that asshole with the peace sign on his license plate Giving me the finger and running me out of his lane God made us number one because he loves us the best Well he should go bless someone else for a while Give us a rest They give no Yeah and everyone can see They give no We've eaten all that we can eat alright |

Do you not hear me anymore
I know it's not your thing to care I know it's cool to be so bored It sucks me in when you're aloof It sucks me in it sucks it works I guess it's cool to be alone Will you never rest Fighting the battle of who could care less Every day you wake up late Sometimes I wish I was that way You think Rockford Files is cool But there are some things That you would change if it were up to you So think about your masterpiece Watch the Rockford Files and Call to see if Paul can score some weed Do you never rest Fighting the battle of who could care less Unearned unhappiness That's alright I guess I've got this great idea Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin fucking Mint Fine pewter portraits of General Apathy and Major Boredom Singing whatever and ever Amen Oh well maybe not I'll try again This should cheer you up for sure See I've got your old ID And you're all dressed up like the Cure You never rest Fighting the battle of who could care less Unearned unhappiness You're my hero I confess |

It's just a thought
but where did it come from What does she do with it if it comes back A note from his assistant is there by the telephone She sees it again as she turns out the lights Kylie is calling from Connecticut She says you've got the number It said Kylie is calling from Connecticut It's there on her mind as she closes her eyes She believes there are things you should know about When you've been married for thirty five years And her heart belongs to a man that she hadn't seen Since a magical night when the children were small Kylie is calling from Connecticut She says you've got the number It says Kylie is calling from Connecticut It's back on her mind as she closes her eyes Kylie is calling from Connecticut It's probably nothing yeah nothing at all Kylie is calling from Connecticut It's back all mine as she's reading old letters That she'd left in the closet with the pictures she cherished She never shows some for the last thirty years when she closes her eyes |

If there's a God,
he is laughing at us and our football team Effington could be a wonderful effing place I can see it from the highway and I'm wondering Are they effing in their yards Effing in their cars Effing in the trailers in the back roads and the parking lots of Effington Making my way to Normal, Illinois Maybe I should ditch this little white rental on the interstate start a new effing life in Effington I could change my name grow a beard start a family or I could just keep on moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on and not stop 'til I get to Normal I want to live in Effington I want to die there too Please bury me in Effington in Effington, in Effington, oh I've got this movie in my mind of Effington and the soundtrack to it sounds like this I want to live in Effington I want to die there too Please bury me in Effington in Effington in Effington, oh If there's a God he is laughing at us and our football team. And then the people who live in Normal can buy the movies that I'll make in Effington that's what Normal people do Do Normal people do it too Normal people do it, Normal people do it, people do it, people do it people do it I want to live in Effington I want to die there too Please bury me in Effington in Effington, in Effington, in Effington, in Effington, |

They checked into the hospital
New Year's Eve Nothing to be done about that Rainbows, daffodils she's not naive Symbolism's all crap There's a big picture window in their room On the ward, with a view of a parliament hill But the view offers more joy than they can afford When there's this much pain to kill You know what hope is Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar A cheat and a tease Hope comes near you Kick it's backside Got no place in days like these At dusk the darkness surrenders to color As the fireworks streak the sky And their window gives them the prettiest picture Their useless luck makes her wanna cry Then it turns midnight the shitty old year spent Another Mom gives her some sparkling wine And she nearly gives in to the moment But he'll still be sick in 2009 You know what hope is Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar A cheat and a tease Hope comes near you Kick it's backside Got no place in days like these Just as she's thinking of pulling the blind down A rocket bursts in front of her eyes The city lit up London the give it up bright crown she tries and fails to stop spirits rise You know what hope is Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar A cheat and a tease Hope comes near you Kick it's backside Got no place in days like these You know what hope is Hope is a bastard Hope is a liar A cheat and a tease Hope comes near you Kick it's backside Got no place in days like these in days like these |

There's a moment in my mind
I scribbled and erased a thousand times Like a letter never written or sent These conversations with the dead I used to be a sentimental guy Now I'm haunted by the left unsaid I never thought so much could change Little things you said or did are part of me, come out from time to time Probably no one I know now would notice But I never thought so much could change You drifted far away Far away it seems Time has stopped, the clock keeps going People talkin' and I'm watching As flashes of their faces go black and white And fade to yellow in a box in an attic But I never thought so much Could change, now I don't miss anyone I don't miss anything What a shame cause I used to be a sentimental guy |

You took a trip and climbed a tree
At Robert Sledge's party And there you stayed 'till morning came But you were not the same after that You gave your life to Jesus Christ And after all your friends went home You came down, you looked around And you were not the same after that You were not the same after that You were not the same after that You see 'em drop like flies from the bright sunny skies They come knocking at your door with this look in their eyes You've got one good trick and you're hanging on you're hanging on To it You took the word and made it heard And eased the people's pain and for that You were idolised, immortalised you were not the same after that Walking tall, you'd bought it all And you were not the same after that Till someone died on the waterslide And you were not the same You see 'em drop like flies from the bright sunny skies They come knocking at your door with this look in their eyes You've got one good trick you're hanging on hanging on to it You see 'em drop like flies from the bright sunny skies They come knocking at your door with this look in their eyes You've got one good trick you're hanging on hanging on You're hanging on You're hanging on |

I feel like a quote out of context
Withholding the rest So I can be free what you want to see I got the gesture and sound Got the timing down It's uncanny, yeah, you think it was me Do you think I should take a class To lose my southern accent Did I make me up, or make the face till it stuck I do the best imitation of myself The problem with you speech You gave me was fine I liked the theories about my little stage And I swore I was listening But I started drifting Around the part about me acting my age Now if it's all the same I've people to entertain You know I juggle one handed Do some magic tricks and The best imitation of myself Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole Wondering, who I am when I ought to know Straighten up now time to go Fool somebody else, fool somebody else Last night I was east with them And west within Trying to be for you what you wanna see But I can't help it with you The good and bad comes through hanging out with No one but me But it's all the same It comes from the same place And if my mind's somewhere else You won't be able to tell I do the best imitation of myself Yes it's uncanny to see You'd really think it was me The best imitation of myself The best imitation of myself |

I met this girl, she looked
like Axl Rose Got drunk and took her home and we slept in our clothes In the morning put my feet on the floor and thought Being awake never felt like this before And Julianne y'know she wouldn't approve took all day on the phone 'cause I had nothing to do Got rid of Axl by the afternoon Being awake never felt so clear and blue That's all I knew Guess that I was innocent too I'll sing a song and it won't be the blues Cause I don't miss Julianne A friend she told me she felt sorry for me She said the truth would come crashing down on me That I'd be sorry but the truth of it is That I feel guilty for not giving a shit That's all I knew Guess that I was innocent too I'll sing a song and it won't be the blues Cause I don't miss Julianne I got my bag of trash I got my bag of trash I drag it up and down, I drag it up and down the road How could she miss a man Who drags a bag of trash down the road This week I feel like I been born again I know that Julianne she would have a fit She'd find a reason for the things that I did And gave me credit for the things that I've never been That's all I knew Guess that I was innocent too I can try just as hard as I can But I don't miss Julianne I can try just as hard as I can I don't miss Julianne |

What I've kept with me
And what I've thrown away And where the hell I've ended up On this glary random day Were the things I really cared about Just left along the way For being too pent up and proud Woke up way too late Feeling hung over and old And the sun was shining bright And I walked barefoot down the road Started thing about my old man It seems that all men Wanna get into a car and go Anywhere Here I stand sad & free I can't cry and I can't see What I've done no God What have I done So don't you know I'm numb, man No I can't feel a thing at all Cause its all smiles & business these days and I am indifferent to the loss I've faith that there's a soul whose leading me around I wonder if she knows Which way is down Here I stand sad & free I can't cry and I can't see What I've done no God What have I done I poured my heart out I poured my heart out it evaporated see Blind man on a canyon's edge of a Panoramic scene Or maybe I'm a kite That's flying high & random Dangling a string Or slumped over in a vacant room Head on a stranger's knee I'm sure back home They think I've lost my mind Here I stand sad & free I can't cry and I can't see What I've done no God What have I done |

Some summers in
the evening after 6 or so I walk on down the hill And maybe buy a beer I think about my friends Sometimes I wish they lived out here But they wouldn't dig this town No they wouldn't dig this town Try not to think about it, Alice Childress Try not to think about it anymore Try not to think about it, Alice Childress Anymore, no not anymore Alice, the world is full of ugly things That you can't change Pretend it's not that way It's my idea of faith You can blow it off And say there's good in nearly everyone Just give them all a chance Now let's give them all a chance Try not to think about it, Alice Childress Try not to think about it anymore Try not to think about it, Alice Childress Anymore, no not anymore No it didn't work out No it didn't work out the way we thought it would No it didn't work out An arranged marriage is not so good Thank God it's you Y'know your timing is impeccable I'm not fooling you I don't know what to do Some dude just knocked me cold And left me on the sidewalk Took everything I had Everything I had Try not to think about it Alice Childress Try not to think about it anymore It's getting late where you are, Alice Childress Anymore, no not anymore Anymore, no not anymore |

I'm not one to look behind I know that times must change
But over there in Barrytown they do things very strange And though you're not my enemy I like things like they used to be And though you'd like some company I'm standing by myself Go play with someone else I can see by what you carry that you came from Barrytown Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard I just read the Daily News and swear by every word And don't think that I'm out of line For speaking out for what is mine I'd like to see you do just fine But look at what you wear And the way you cut your hair I can see by what you carry that you came from Barrytown In the beginning we recall that the world was round Barrytown people got to be from another world Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will meet They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street And don't you scream or make a shout It's nothing you can do about It was there where you came out It's a special lack of grace I can see it in your face I can see by what you carry that you came from Barrytown |

Hey, something is new
It got into me and I hope that it got into you The way my covers are made Trumpets will play And I hope that it's inside I hope that it got into you There's no doubt Here lies Amelia Bright In a red 50's dress From a thrift shop nearby I laid on the ground and stared at the sky With Amelia Bright There's clothes That hide them away There's me spread All over the floor And I'm lost in one place, I'm stuck, and I'm straight, And I hope that you feel the same way There's no doubt Here lies Amelia Bright In a red 50's dress From a thrift shop nearby I laid on the grass and stared at the sky With Amelia Bright There's no doubt There's nothing to work out You're alone 'Cause you're always on your own When you yawn, It makes me want to yawn, too Plain, expressionless view It got into you with a necklace, no shoes, The promise of truth And a life to be bright and new There's no doubt Here lies Amelia Bright Over the bars of the graveyard at night I laid on the grass And stared at the sky With Amelia Bright With Amelia Bright With Amelia Bright |

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes Are mirror images And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate That God Himself did make Us into corresponding shapes Like puzzle pieces from the clay And true, it may seem like a stretch But it's thoughts like this that catch My troubled head when you're away When I am missing you to death When you are out there on the road For several weeks of shows And when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home. They will see us waving from such great heights "Come down now" they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away "Come down now" but we'll stay I tried my best to leave This all on your machine But the persistent beat It sounded thin upon listening. And that frankly will not fly You'll hear the shrillest highs And lowest lows with the windows down while this is guiding you home. They will see us waving from such great heights "Come down now" they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away "Come down now" but we'll stay They will see us waving from such great heights "Come down now" they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away "Come down now" but we'll stay They will see us waving from such great heights "Come down now" they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away "Come down now" but we'll stay |
