[solo throughout song]

How can you tell me?
I still believe in sometime
You don't have to make it a show or a begining
Just have to move yourself today

Alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

Wish you were there to tell me
I still need your sunshine
I'll go over and I'm bare foot
Can't believe I'm in the ?????

Alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

Now won't you tell me?
I still believe in some [?]
I try it oh so many ways to get to you
And it could never [?] [?] [?]

Alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

Why wont you tell me?
Now in the time, by my side
Re-tell the story
Guess I cant take it this time

Alone...
Alone...
Alone...
Alone...

I been thinking through the night
Everybody's so uptight
People hurt and that's their right
Cut 'em all loose, think I might
Stewin', hangin' out in town
And my head whirlin' around
Don't trust your mind, it'll let you down
Don't have a thing to go on

I don't know a thing to say to you...

There's a time and there's a place
It's not now, it's time to pace
Things I'd say but just can't face
All it means to say them
I could believe the things I feel
Then tomorrow get the same deal
Am I acting on something real?
Or am I blowing it again?

Grab a ride
See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
Let's stop
We can crush at high speed
Hope we can feel enough for two
Yeah I gave you a nudge
Not sure what to touch
Hey, made my last nudge
Why won't you just budge
Grab a ride
See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
We can gaze
Then trade to space plane
Tons of rubble to sift through
Yeah I need a bug
Not sure what to touch
Hey, made my last nudge
Why won't you just budge
Grab a ride See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
We can gaze
Then trade to space plane
Tons of rubble to sift through
Let's stop
We can crush at high speed
Hope we can feel enough for two

I sit queasy, jittered, uneasy.
The toll that looms, the loss I dread.
I buckle when my judge clutches,
Questioning my treatment of an ego underfed.
Bulbs of passion, bulbs of passion.

Place it here on the bureau,
Let the interests rip apart the understood.
No one's satisfied with merely a cut,
So they sabotage their own livelihood.

The feeble structure is teetering, but intact.
The parts all function but the fuse is lit.
Teeth scrape on the last remaining fossil.
I wanna crumble but instead I slit.

And hold it in my hand, but they're sweating.
Trained for now, but soon forget.
The tears are flowing from the love in her eyes,
The hated feeling gonna eat me alive.
Bulbs of passion, bulbs of passion.
Bulbs of passion, bulbs of passion.

Time has left off for me
And I came back for your offer
Can't you know what I need
You mean everythign to me
But you left to seek it
??????????????
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Tell me if you laugh at me
As the world leaves it to me
??????????????? you see
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Tell me I'm your man
I don't wanna live without it but I can
Your ???????????? even stand
You can mount it to my chin????? if I can
I sure love the way the feelings ?????

[solo]

Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Can't we move this along?
Can't we get it on [wrong?]
Tell me I'm your man
I don't wanna live without it but I can
Your love me but I can barely even stand
You can mount it to my chin????? if I can
I sure love the way the feelings get???

Hit me like a kick to a thickening gut
The beat has done beaten me up
No one's gonna lift me out of this rut
The groove has done ground me to dust
I'm knocking on the wrong cocoon
Spun another web of lies

And then you break through
And dry before my eyes
Take me with you
Where you hide tonight

Did you feel the beat in a fetal curl?
Could you be original, caterpillar girl
Crawling up the vine
Splitting your spine

Flowing through the motions
Leave your shell behind

And then you break through
And dry before my eyes
Take me with you
Where you hide tonight
Away...
Look out
The birds like me
They want you now
They want you now
Caterpillar Girl

And then you break through
And dry before my eyes
Take me with you
Where you hide tonight

Scraped along the sidewalk, looking for a face.
Had to get out of my room for a bit,
Tension is in town and I'm ready to quit.

Can't fall out of this hole, it's just like cats in a bowl.
And I can't climb out of this hole, it's just like cats in a bowl.

See the same old hares running to the same old holes.
Price of licorice has doubled -- teetering, would it finally fall?

Can't fall out of this hole, it's just like cats in a bowl.
And I can't climb out of this hole, it's just like cats in a bowl.

Ever-changing scenery drifting this town.
Even if I leave, someone just like me popped out of the ground.

Loose thoughts go, he slits his hand.
They'll be a problem, well, ride it.
Gathering, giggling, staggering, hoping,
People have been left from last night.

Scraped along the sidewalk, looking for a face.
Had to get out of my room for a bit,
Tension is in town and I'm ready to quit.

Can't pull out of this hole, it's just like cats in a bowl.
And I can't climb out of this hole, it's just like cats in a bowl.

See the same old hares running to the same old holes.
Price of licorice has doubled -- teetering, would it finally fall?

Can't climb out of this hole, it's just like cats in a bowl.
And I can't climb out of this hole, it's just like cats in a, just like cats in a bowl.

Nowhere to run, every town's the same.
So keep on running along, hope the sidewalk won't break for me.

I've been up, down, knees, cloud
Fading into view
Rise and fall, don't we all, love to be confused

Make it natural naked fun
Force it make it wrong
Wait a day, a year, far too long
Don't you feel abused?

Drifting through the night, nodding at the moon
Waited till the day withdrew, confused

Are you here to give it back?
Are you afraid I won't let go?
That I'm a warm denier, a cold desire
Remote without control

Cross the border through your room and into mine
If there's something you want
Let it tell you what to do
Tonight let's feast on you, confused

(these have been confirmed by Lou Barlow)

The rain has washed my dog away again.
Closest to a breathing thing I'd call a friend.
Hope the next wave brings a valentine.

Its been so cold and lonely here,
Ever since that cloud appeared.
I keep wishing the lamp would shine,
Feed me any piece of you.
I'll find a way to prop it up alone.
Cause I care about the way you stand,
But I think you'd look nicer if you had a few bones.
Waiting for the tree to cry
Blow a kiss as the mountains wave bye.
And the turtles are running free.
Blind man has got a whip
It's more fun than that white stick.
He bought a carrot, but he still can't see.
You know I've waited forty-six years,
For a ray of hope to pierce me through.
Then I could bleed the sunshine.
And wriggle chest high in mountain dew.

There's only so much to endure.
There's only so much space here on my skewer.
Sick of second billing to that magic goat.
All I wanna know, baby.

Does it float? (x6)
Does it float? (x4)
Why does it float?
Does it float?

Why

Why don't you like me

Why

Why don't you like me

Why

Why don't you like me

Why

Why don't you like me

Do you know that it's alright?
I been thinkin', seein' that's not how it's gotta be
Ain't sayin' if it's worth the fight
I'm a space but you can count on me to save your place
And I know it's all to do with you and me
Do you know if you're against the deal?
We'll wait and see
But I'd love to hear that story once again
It's the only part of me you still defend

Did you know I heard your voice?
When I call to see if you're around, I have no choice
Then the news is in my face
Took a step to let the feeling go and lost my place

And I swear I hear the same thing every night
Once again no accounted for the hours I spent
Baked as any time I drifted out of sight
Remember when you didn't need this time to mend

Anywhere you'd like to go
Would it help to be inside the life I couldn't know?
If you shake it, it won't show
Hold out for me, 'cause bailin' at this point is really low.

And I know it's all to do with just a friend
And I can't decipher messages you send
But I'd love to hear that story once again
It's the only part of me you still defend [Solo]

A time was when it seemed appropriate to walk away
And now you got to try to stay
They all asked me, then you asked me I was kind of stunned
Now it's me who wants to run

I've no right falling all around you
Suffocating bugs surround you
It's a shame that's what it's done to you

It came so easily, I let it follow me right down
Crept in close without a sound
They all told me, then you told me but I stayed around
Then it hit, I hit the ground

No discussion could improve this
Next time gonna have to lose this
No way in I'm not gonna hate it
I'll try not to overstate it

When I finally plan my trip
I know you're gonna be there
When it's time I finally flip
I know you're gonna be there

It seemed immediate
You stuck me and you walked away
It upsets me either way
I do anything if anything won't come too late
Not the best way to set things straight

No discussion could improve this
Gonna be a pain to lose this
Even you could not excuse this

Hey lady, why ain't it snowing? Were you riding the chair alone? Hey lady, where's your friend? Hey lady, blew you off again Don't worry, I'll ride you up to the top Hey lady, sorry, that's the last stop I'll see you I'll see you All the way down I'll see you In the large flying cloud I'll see you I'll see you All the way down In the large flying cloud

It's floating through the abyss.
Under the brig, my head swings down.
Beware her wrath, the image gone.
The shell is crumbling, fix my frown.

This spell would be clear in non-tradition,
And stepping on these pieces of pain and smirk.
And rape goes through to sin my eyes,
And shapes know where the heartache will lurk.

Forget the swan, a stone swims near.
A stone has come, if I could cheer.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.

Drifting among this rubble,
I guess the waiting wished I would.
I found a box, untethered and true,
Possession it understood.

Forget the swan, a stone swims near.
A stone has come, if I could cheer.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.

How I tried to warn my neighbor, but the corn was much too high.
In confusion up and threw him, woke up every day,
But it's not too late, brother, I'll still say you were mine.

Forget the swan, a stone swims near.
A stone has come, if I could cheer.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.

Forget the swan, the dreams are gone.
The pain goes on, they fly at dawn.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.

Freak Scene

Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen to much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and free us?

Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen to much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and leave us?

So fucked I can't believe it
If there's a way I wish we'd see it
How could it work just can't conceive it
Oh what a mess, best just to leave it

Sometimes I don't thrill you
Sometimes I think I'll kill you
Just don't let me fuck up will you
'Cause when I need a friend it's still you

What A Mess

I see you every once in a while
Forget where I was standing stood
Eyes glazed with apprehension
Could it ever have been that good

The virgin's escaping
Will is fading
Another couple locks ones attention
How did I believe this fool
Non-stop degradation waiting until
Nothing can ever be the same

The virgin's escaping
Will is fading
Everyone tries their hand at love
It's just up to hope that all in amour
Everyone in which you've found
Best known by it's ? cure

I see you every once in a while
Forget where I was standing stood
Eyes glazed with apprehension
Could it ever have been that good

Will is fading

I don't see you, I won't call you
I don't know enough to stall you
Is it me, or is it all you?
Guess, it's on and on

On a day, maybe I'd show you
But it's the least of all I go through
But the thing is I don't know you
And it's on and on

Trembling words
Don't make my eyes close
And if anyone then you'd know
I can't find out 'cause it won't show
And it's on and on
Every dream is shot by daylight
And I pray that maybe you're right
But if you don't, maybe I might
'Cause it's on and on

When it takes too long
I lose it I'll just hang while you abuse it
If you knew then why'd you choose it
'Cause it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this are you
You're not gonna get me through this are you

Anytime I'm there to show you
But if it takes too long I know you
Out the door just leavin' me screwed
And it's on and on
Everytime I try to fight it It's so hard to seem excited
And if you don't turn I'll bite it
And it's on and on

You're not gonna get me through this are you
You're not gonna get me through this are you

[Solo]

I don't see you, I won't call you I don't know enough to stall you

Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I saw you
It's the hardest thing for me I started shakin'
Wonderin' where could you be from

And it figures
That the only thing I want is already taken
Cut him off let's get it done

I know, I know
Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I know you are the one I miss
I try to figure How I get out of this

I know, I know
Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I know about the way you tried to tell me
It was sticky
And settled in their tea

So I freaked out
Blank stared into my heart
Just like you killed me
Thinkin' they're still picking the key

Don't know how to break it to me
Don't know how to take it to me

Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I know you are the one I miss
I try to figure How I get out of this

I know, I know
Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I saw you
It's the hardest thing for me I started shakin'
Wonderin' where could you be from

And it figures
That the only thing I want is already taken
Cut him off let's get it done

I know, I know
Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I know you are the one I miss
I try to figure How I get out of this

I know, I know
Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I know about the way you tried to tell me
It was sticky
And settled in their tea

So I freaked out
Blank stared into my heart
Just like you killed me
Thinkin' they're still picking the key

Don't know how to break it to me
Don't know how to take it to me

Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

And I know you are the one I miss
I try to figure How I get out of this

I know, I know
Will it come to me?
Will it come to me?

I know you're waiting
I'm through relating
I've had enough
I'm sick of reading
My interest fading
It's looking up
I know I've been that way too long
Between our own useless
Tide it over
It's getting slower
Time for a change
Falls the prison
Don't wanna live in
Expand my range
I know I've been that way too long
I know it's useless
The charm is gone
Time to move on
I'm ready now
The questions, how?
I'll keep on pushin'
Throw out the cushion
I need to do this
Beyond the darkness
There must be one kiss
So give me hope
I know I've been that way too long
Get the move on

I (looked) all around
Open my eyes I found
You crying, crying on the ground
If I told you then
Now, were you listening?
Now just tell me where, can't pretend

Slippin' through my mind
Letting go this time
Will I find you?
It's a special place
It's been hard to taste
If you let me, it won't go to waste
If I let you go, will I ever know
Cause I gotta know, gotta know

You've been through my mind
Letting go this time
Need to find

When I held you close
Felt my mind explode
At that point, that point my whole life froze
Can't go back from here
Feelings far from fear
It's over, take my hand, we'll disappear

I looked all around
Open my eyes I found
You crying, crying on the ground
If I told you then
Were you listening?
Now just tell me where, I can't pretend
It's a special place
It's been hard to taste
If you met me, It won't go to waste
If I let you go, will I ever know?
Cause I gotta know, gotta know
We've been through my mind
Not letting go this time
Still not fine

Help me off your back
I found it's so futile to attack
So what else you got
You won't tell the truth until you're caught

I'll be in your room
You'll be comin' soon
I'll be gone all day
Grab it, that's your way

I wish I could pretend
But you'll fire one off at me again
Revenge me
Now don't it seem like you're a little sweet

In your room
Who was willing
Got to assume
Felt too hard
Pain is chilling
Caught off guard
And now should I fall apart

I'll be in your room
You'll be comin' soon
Take it out of me
Grab it, that's your scene

I'm not feeling well
It's not goin' so good, oh can't you tell
It's a crazy time
Fire one off at me and I'll be fine

In your room
Who was willing
Got to assume
Felt too hard
Pain is chilling
Caught off guard
Soon should I fall apart

It's so crazed
You were swingin'
Still amazed
What's in your laugh?
You're still clingin'
You're so unphased
I'd no idea you'd go this far

[Solo]

If I look back, would you hear
If that's what you decide to believe

Help me off your back
I found it's so futile to attack
So what else you got
You won't tell the truth until you're caught

I'll be in your room
You'll be comin' soon
I'll be gone all day
Grab it, that's your way

I wish I could pretend
But you'll fire one off at me again
Revenge me
Now don't it seem like you're a little sweet

In your room
Who was willing
Got to assume
Felt too hard

Caught off guard
And now should I fall apart

I'll be in your room

It's so crazed

What's in your laugh?
You're still clingin'
You're so unphased
I'd no idea you'd go this far

[Solo]

If I look back, would you hear
If that's what you decide to believe

what are you doing over there
did we just talk about sensation
then you walk in wrapped in a towel
one almost answered invitation

i'm way more trouble than i'm worth
don't you be sinking in my quicksand
we're lucky nobody got hurt
i'm glad i left it to my right hand

don't let it gravitate
soon there'll be no escape
bound for the game we two can play

my mind is open not my arms
half the world ago is locked out
i led you on, you did no harm
this story ended when you walked out

I picture things a certain way.
Then go back to it another day.
The green mind said it's okay...
Cause you know where they're gonna be.
All's you have to do is come with me.
It's cool, they're probably asleep.

On the outside,
that's where they always hide.
Come to my side
and I'll introduce you to...
some of their kind.
I know you've always tried.
And now it's your time to take in their point of view,
though it's nothing new.

I been bouncin' off the wall,
I can't handle them for long.
They're cool, but I need you...
On a certain level I think they're great,
but on another I can't relate...
to anything they do.

On the outside,
might be with them tonight.
Unless you decide to come n' I'll check out you.
Hangin' heavy such a routine,
I've just begun to forget
why I seldom try to break out of their scene.
And now I gotta work on you,
so the frogs will hang and they'll always be hangin'...
Now we're here, what do we do?

I've been sortin' through the pros,
and cons of your eyes, farewell toads.
Can't you help move it along?
I been pickin' through my thoughts,
it's a shame my judgement rots...
and I sure feel rotten long...

[Solo]

On the outside...
well, it'll be a while.
I gotta unfry 'fore I pick it up with you.(Help me)
Do I need that stable care?
Don't I know that they'll be there?
Does that count now you've appeared?
Do I need that stable core?
Or do I jump for something more?
Are you all that I fear?

I been pickin' through my thoughts,
it's a shame my judgement rots...
and I sure feel rotten long...
It's a call that's tough to make.
It could be a big mistake.
Can't you help move it along?
If I keep stewin' 'bout how I feel,
eventually you'll split,
then I won't have to deal.(Sounds like a plan)
But it's kind of lame to let it slide,
knowin' either way I haven't tried.
Can't figure out where it all stands...
In a green mind...

You know it hurts me To see those people hangin' 'round you all the time What about someday? To know you're laughin' there is messin' with my mind Damage setting in Tell me where you been Try not to ask again Breakouts I can't defend Twisted messages I send I walk over and we smile and all get set Where we take up Is where I wake up It's a vice that's feelin' tight around my head I can't place it Still can't waste it It's kind of useless To tell you everything that needs to end today I'd be confused less If you'd just grab me your way, then be on your way I can't let it go Starting to really show Don't you think I've tried?

Don't you want it inside? What could be left to hide? [Solo] You know it hurts me To see those people hangin' 'round you all the time It sure seems lonesome But you're still hangin' there, it's messin' with my mind You can't expect much Not so out of touch If I ask again Nothing I'll defend But I can pretend I walked over and we smile and all the rest Where we take up Is where I wake up It's a two ton weight that's wrapped around my chest I just knew it Can't get through it And now it's finally just inches from my eye I can't place it Still can't waste it When you stomp on the last thing I've left to try Is where I wake up

Rollin from your brat sarcastic eye
A California tear, a drop of gold
Maybe you were cold, yah, so was I
Holding back Holding back the year
The year before the poison took its toll
Made you paper thin, me wrinkled old
Eventually, yea finally it caught up
Held you back, grabbed you by the arm
Played upon your fear
But rollin down the window won't I

Order up some breakfast if I can
Hold me back hold me by the arm
Wipe Away my tear
The story ends with friends and early nights
Kitten grown to cat and no more fight
How'd we ever stay together love...
Holdin back, holding back the year
Hold me back grab me by the arm
Whisper in my ear Holdin back the year

Look at you hiding behind your sweater
What I want to say
Let it fall away
I don't care

If we're alone, can be trusted on my own
I can never bring you home

Second guess I drift in all directions
Once impressed, half undressed all day
I'm not strong You don't believe
I may be wrong
That I can never bring you home


If I do and don't resist you
I'm too in love to really miss you
In fact I'm frozen over joy

Yes I did and yes I want to
But nothing good can come to
Someone pretending he is alone

Yes I did and yes I want to
But nothing good can come to
Someone pretending he is alone
Who can never bring you home

Hey, what's on your mind? Hey, what's that got left behind? Tension running, how?, what for? Don't think I'm into you anymore Falling off the pace Run into you most every place And I hardly go outside Let's take a little ride I don't know, man, you decide How'd you pin that one on me? Haven't even done it yet How can that be? My move or do I chuck it? Stare it in the face or duck it Get me a bucket I disappear I would agree That's a distinct possibility Wrap my leg around the table I'll make the trip when I'm more stable Gotta cut that one leg free Hobblin' around, hold out for me I'll leave the house when I'm less scared Don't make me go, I'm not prepared Hey, what's on your mind? Hey, what's that got left behind? Was it me you saved that for? What's down at the core? Hey, I seen that look before Weren't you using that on me? Do you slap that glaze On every guy you see? My move or do I chuck it? Stare it in the face or duck it Get me a bucket [Solo] I don't know why you see me I don't know a thing to be My m

Come on it's over now, run for you
I give the last of me
To catch a glimpse it's true
Are you water?
Is when you call me
I can't decide if you
Grasp the concept
Cuz I lost it
Still, I hope it's true for you
I don't talk when you're around it
I don't blame enough to ask the questions
I don't know different if you doubt it
There's not much to think or say ???????
Too late, wish I could wait
Still nothing's understood
Inside, so much to hide
When will you let it through?

Are you water?
Is when you call me
I can't decide if you
Grasp the concept
Cuz I lost it
I hope it's true for you

I don't mind if you think about it
I don't talk to too much ????????????????
Know enough just not to doubt it
Are you waiting?
Just the same-old?
Everything I know

I don't wanna think about it
Know enough just not to doubt the thing and let it come to you
F--- (WHAT?)

In the morning
It's the last time that I saw her face
In that special way to me
Without a warnin'
She pulled every trick to name a few
What was I supposed to be?

I'd like to think she cried for me
But I don't know
Her memories won't let me be
Just can't let go
In the morning
Is when I think about her
Could it be she cried for me?
I don't think so!

In the evening
I don't think it was a peaceful scene
Seemed to me a little rough
She was leavin'
But she forgot to leave a piece of me
I didn't know she was that tough
I don't know why she'd see me
I don't know what else to be

I'd like to think she cried for me
But I don't know
Her memories won't let me be
Just can't let go
In the morning
Is when I think about her
Could it be she cried for me?
I don't think so!

Is there something
That I could do to make her feel a thing?
I don't know what to expect
Guess there's one thing
I got left but then I could be wrong
Maybe that's the thing she wrecked
I don't know why she'd see me
I don't know what else to be
Hope she's diggin' being free

But does she cry for me?
I don't know
Her memories won't let me be
Just can't let go
But in the morning
Is when I think about her
Could it be she cried for me?
I don't know...
I'd like to think she cried for me
I don't think so!

Every see to came
I use such restraint
What's left around me
Is there to me
Cant walk with you
This is overdue
And it spills from inside
Into and all over you
Come on out
Feel the pictures
As they warn you
Bottom out, it's good for you
It can be real
Nothing like a picture of you
Can not follow you along


So you have a ways to grow
Can not follow you alone
Dreams are not themselves
Dreamnt withotu living it
It's hard to tell
When the day begins
It's the evil twin
Let it out
? ? ?
All the doubt has been good to me
You can't be this
Nothing like I picture it
Giving me a chill
Nothing like I picture this

Hey, I live for that look
Hey, is that all it took?
I know why, I know why

Hey, it's all on your head
Hey, is that what you said?
I know why, I know why

You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A time to even say

Hey, it's goin' no place
Hey, don't give me that face
I know why, I know why

Hey, be better this time
Hey, get out of my mind
I know why, I know why

You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A single thing to say

Tell me now, tell me now

Hey, I live for that look
Hey, is that all it took?
I know why, I know why

Hey, it's all on your head
Hey, is that what you said?
I know why, I know why

You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A time to even say

Hey, it's goin' no place
Hey, don't give me that face
I know why, I know why

Hey, be better this time
Hey, get out of my mind
I know why, I know why

You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A single thing to say

Tell me now, tell me now

If I ran away today
Will you pull me back tomorrow?
Took some time to arrange
With trust, space will follow
Out to find the things you need
Your connections hard to swallow
Still things you tell me when
Your eyes track me down, keepin' you hollow

Throat starts to drain
I've done it way too many times to go away
Gone in a state, by my water
Can you bring it back to me
Will you follow?

And how'd you get away
If I ran away today
Will you pull me back tomorrow?
Took some time to arrange
Your connections hard to swallow
I know you're somewhere, I'm Insane
It's your needs on my brain
Smack me out, Our eyes exchange
To have the strength to stake my claim

Have you placed it?
I can't taste it
Will I waste it?
Can't trace it
Time to face it

Now gonna go away

I know you're somewhere, I'm Insane
It's your needs on my brain
Smack me out, Move on with change
To have the strength to stake my claim
I know you're somewhere, I'm Insane
To have the strength to stake my claim
I know you're somewhere, I'm Insane
To have the strength to stake my claim

If I could be your lover, be your lover true
One day to be discovered lying next to you
But I know my lack of grace continues to turn you off
and this could be my fate here never to be touched

Wish I could be, if I could be
I feel it in the morning, nothing going on tonight
and I get the feeling that my love for you's not right
and I can't help thinking that you might not like my style
watching television let me chew on you awhile

Then face down,
so face down
love me tonight
love me tonight.

But what if my fortune turns, will I turn away?

The battle of the heart we wage, the quiet game we play
What if it's me unequal? I'm the one who's not,
excited forever with it in your touch
I'd miss you way too much.

But you'd feel it in the morning, nothing going on tonight
and you'd get the feeling that your love for me's not right.
We're always turning but never turn away,
I'll try to be patient tell me everything's OK.

Hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm
Hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm
Hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm
love me tonight
Hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm
love me tonight

My blood ran hot, I turned to liquid
The day I held your hand in mine
It happened so slowly
Then there wasn't any time

You held the air between us carefully
The season turned behind the wheel
I became what you believed me to be
Fell the way you made me feel

Out of my imagined life
The circle in my brainn
The pattern trap that holds me back
If you could love me I could find a way

Now what of what the heart is wanting
That this day may not allow
Changes, planning
Things that cannot happen now
Change is happening right now

Out of my imagined life
The circle in my brain
The pattern trap that holds me back
If you could love me
I could find a way, away

I'll be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
I just want to find out what you're nice to me for
When I look up, don't think I don't know
About all the scabs you dread
It's hard to stomach the gore

I know you don't have the patience
To peel 'em off no more
In a jar where you fed me
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar the scars are plain to see
I hope somehow you'll know I understand

I'll be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
I just want to find out what you're nice to me for
Then you smile and decide to take me in
'Cause I look cute by your bed
But I can feel it's just a little more

I'll watch you fall apart, babe you know it
You know I'm your new start, babe, don't blow it
Just unscrew the top, yeah
Pick me up now just can't stop

In a jar where you fed me
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar the scars are plain to see
I hope somehow you'll know I understand
Scabs collect beneath your bureau
From the knife wounds you got

'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,' she said
'The one that makes me laugh,' she said
And threw her arms around my head
'Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you...'

Spinning on that dizzy air
I kissed her face and kissed her hair
And dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
'Why are you so far away?' she said
'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you,
That I'm in love with you?'

Soft and only

Lost and lonely

Strange as angels
Sitting in the deepest oceans
Sitting in the water, you're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
I found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,' she said
'The one that makes me laugh,' she said
And threw her arms around my head
'Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you...'

Spinning on that dizzy air
I kissed her face and kissed her hair
And dreamed of all the different ways

That I'm in love with you?'

Soft and only

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
I found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

Hey babe, where'd you go
Just left it sitting in the road
You can drape it all over your room
Sit back and let it shower you
Left it, hoping you'd see it, and wanted to stay
Wish someone told me there's a better way

The past will blow away
Don't mind if i have to borrow
Long as i come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all i could think of

Found this thing out back
Hope it makes it up for all i lack
They've all got a shot with you
Chance i had, i kinda blew
It's all there in that bag
Didn't turn out like i hoped
Guess it's a drag

The past will blow away
Don't mind if i have to borrow
Long as i come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all i could think of

If you won't take my hand
Keep the glove

Hey babe, where'd you go

Come on babe
Come on set me free
I've paid for my crime
Come on babe
Come on rescue me
Just this last time

I plead the case
I need to space
Don't let it wait
I plead the case
I need to space
Don't let it wait

Come on babe
Come on set me free
I've paid for my crime
Come on babe
Come on rescue me
Just this last time

I know you've given all that you can give to me
I know there'll come a day I understand
Until then I'll be trying to solve your mystery
And Wonder why I couldn't make you stay

Smiling through denial , my specialty
I thought that was a good thing for a while
You gave me all your secrets were you testing me?
How could I do anything but smile?

Reenact your legendary tragedy
And do to me what has been done to you
Is that the only point to all this misery?
Is there any reason I should cry?

Heal takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you
Did you love me?
Did you love me?

Heal it takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you
You loved me
You loved me

I'll be by your side Thought you knew, thought I'd try What's there to decide? Put everything into it Time to throw it on the heep All the times I almost spilled it Now it's something gotta keep Found a way, heared all the things I've tried to say Hate to see it washed away, dragged down among the drain But if it stays, all the things about to pay All doubts I've stashed away, kept down until you say Letting it all slide Stood too long, far too gone Can't you let it ride? Put everything into it Time to throw it on the heep All the times I all most spilled it Now it's something gotta keep Found a way, heared all the things I've tried to say Hate to see it washed away dragged down among the drain If I don't move, there won't be a thing to prove And all I'm bound to lose my thing for hangin' out But if it stays, all the things about to pay All the doubts I've stashed away kept down until you say I'll be by your side Stood too long, far too gone Can't you let it ride? What's there to decide? Thought you knew, tho
ught I'd try Letting it all slide

What is it?
Who is it?
Where is it?

A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

I stopped to call, tried to feel it all
Stuck my hand and pulled real hard
Got stretch in miles, not in yards
Then I read, about all those who believe all of your lies
Sunlight brings the rage right in your eyes

A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

A rabbit falls away from me, I guess I'll crawl
A rabbit always smashes me, again I'll crawl
Tried to think what's over me, it makes me crawl
Then she runs away from me, faster than I crawl

I know why you came here
I know it's the same fear

It seems loaded
It seems true, true [through me?]
Got no hand what can I do
I've been strumming [struggling?]
You've been blew [blue?] through
I don't get what you need to do
I know why you came here
Please don't be ashamed of you [here?]
And should I lay a claim here
I know it's the same fear

[solo over vocals]

I put me out here
I move through too
Will I get the same from you?
I know why you came here
Please don't be ashamed here
I know it's the same sheer [fear?]
Should I lay a claim here?

Can't believe a single word I've said
And every subject's the only one that's dead
And there's nothing from my side
Just yourself
You'll split
I'll begin
'Bout to fight

Greatest stories pass, in my mind
Must be a better way to pass my time
To think the focus just belongs to me
Selfish man, I know I'm nothing to me

So when I thought I had more to say
Swimmin' in my head
Chained to this corpse
For one more day

Little lies start around
Not a show, feel so down
And I struggle right inside out
Reach the wall, and spiral down
Retchedness
And I'm hardly standing still
I'll be there

Sometimes thinking right
I can't believe I was chosen to exist
'Cause only Jesus Christ himself can even exist, he says
So though we kill this need to always understand
Cut the world and tell me it fits on the back of your hand

Immaculate conception, yeah right
Crazing Mary, good that you lied
A test tomb baby, seed of the lord
Breaking the law with the man next door

Blame it on it an angel, they'll believe
Joseph will wonder but you know he won't leave
Cause they all love you, I still do
Magic in the air swirling all around you

Mary, Mary under a veil of stars
You changed the world,
You broke my Heart
Thank you Mary, you saved me too
They'd stone us both if they ever knew

You sold out the manger, well all right
They Mystery
They say that he's the one
Brother Joseph got a king for a stepson

Mary, Mary under a veil of stars
You changed the world,
You broke my Heart
Thank you Mary, you saved me too
They'd stone us both if they ever knew

Mary kissed me, we lost control
The oldest story never told
Crazy Mary, ever divine
They'll never know the baby was mine

Mary, Mary under a veil of stars
You changed the world,
You broke my Heart
Thank you Mary, you saved me too
They'd stone us both if they ever knew

When you find a girl
You found a friend
If you wait too long
The story ends

If I look to you, you wave to me
I can't take it, honestly
But I found you, and there you are

If the tides have turned
And wash ashore
But you gave me pain [this?]
I still adore

Now I ran them all, around for you
Can't believe that's all you do
And it kills me, and there you are

I can't take myself
I'm trying to help somebody else
Come along [on?]
Let's just get it straight
This is gonna have to wait
Too long

Make me strong
Hand it along
I don't have too long

If I found the truth
You would lie
Cause the place I move
Is on the side

And I wish for all these things for you
Keep it special, make it true
Cause I found you, and there you are

I can't take myself
I'm trying to help somebody else
Come along [on?]
I can't get it straight
This is gonna have to wait
Too long

Spread upon the seas
?????????????????????
I'm stuck

I can't take myself
I still need a lot of help
And love....

It's been runnin' for a long time
And it's runnin' out in my mind
I can't explain it all to you
It's really jumbled up
So for longer now I'm messed up
And I'm wishin' now I'd 'fessed up
That concern's no use to you
It feeds the pain that stung

So forget how I am dealin'
Explain to me the feelin'
It gets to that point instantly
You're ready to unload
And I'm the one you're spitting at
I'm ready for my fitting at
Doesn't make much sense
But when I get it calm it's slow

It's hard to admit anything
I'm sorry for the weight I bring
I'll do whatever's necessary
To make your mind glow soft
It's played out too far to stew
And I've run out of grace with you
So I'm out and take a walk
And we'll be better off

Whether I lied
As much as you tried
Whatever you decide
I hope it's good to you
For everybody's sake
Lord knows we all need a break
Do what you got to
This is hard to take

To the time I spent discussin'
I'll sit back and stop the fussin'
I won't mention it to anyone
And we'll be better off
I won't admit to anything
Sorry for the weight I bring
Do whatever's necessary
To make your mind glow soft

Whether I lied
As much as you tried
Whatever you decide
I hope it's good to you

Hey, I gotta start it
MCs be carted, off
ya soft
Dinosaur Jr. will flood that's gotta warn ya
what in blazes
hey this, is phat
weigh this
I'll portray this
photographs, so the last laugh
is mine, you're behind
for the mind, and for the soul
that's how I roll
now I hold
the mic, with my life
depended on it
I'm doin' ya bond it
my non gets warts it
and I'm apart from wackness
I'm separated
did you like how I spiked the ball
despite ya all
you could come bite a small portion
there's more in the vault
halt, have a malt
I alta your brain patterens
yet it's my fault
I sustain phatter blends
of words heard, stampede
damn he the speech with two teach?

"Just me, no simile, never flow simpily, cause it was meant
to be, the
truth, the truth, and nothing but the truth, I tell it to
the youth,
propelling with the proof, in the puddin', wouldn't you like
to know?
Oh, no you didn't, my flows never quittin', and that's the
truth, the
mothephfuckin' truth my man."
I'm on the scrimmage
waitin' for you phucking imitations
and I'm not descriminating
myself, when I'm making my wealth
pure facts
it's hard for me to endure wack MCs
I lay my tracks with ease
I'm tellin' you that Del is truth
appelin' through your arteries
you scar your knees
bowing, praising, now when I phase in
like Kitty Pride
city wide
confer to kick the rumor
him admit he lies
the truth will set you free
when I upset MCs
execute MCs
I do my best to mute MCs
all it takes is intelligence
I'm great with embellishments
they need a savior
so Del is sent...
"Yeah, the truth, the truth, the nothing but the truth, I
tell it to
the youth, propelling with the proof, in the puudin',
wouldn't you
like to know?, Oh, no you didn't, my flow is never quittin',
and
that's the truth, the motherphucking truth my man, the
truth, the
motherphucking truth, I'll punch you in your tooth, ass drop
the roof,
bitch..."
You know my attributes
so don't act cute
it's moot
a closed casket
the most massive
fluff, just me
no simile
never flow simpily
cause it was meant to be
never concluded
sever your crew with
microlazer surgery,
I get Adam split up like atoms like the Molecule Man
now all of you stand
like a congregation
on the basement titric
hip-hop
not carin' sharin'
tearin' Jones here in clones
wearin' bones
skeletons, your plasma is like gelatin
and tell a friend
who's developin'
cause Del's intelligent...
"Yeah, my lyrical technique, will make ya body freak, my
lyrical
technique, will make ya body tweak, my lyrical technique,
will make
ya body seek, the beaning, double-teaming, on your
motherphuckin'
brain. Yeah, see that hoe, too, yeah, bitch phuck
it...slammin'

For balance and control, a battle rages in my soul
Am I monkey, am I man?
One finger holding back the dam
Confusion was alright, until it kept me up at night
Heavy breathing ok, until you took my breath away

Now I feel like I've just begun
I feel I've just begun
There's no worry, we're all undone
I feel I've just be.. feel I've just begun

Am I ever overconfident?
Have I ever been untrue?
I've been over and under and through
Nothing much at all, oh there's so much more to do

Now I feel like I've just begun
I feel I've just begun
There's no hurry, no race to run
I feel I've just be.. life has just begun

Something ended, before it ended
(Feel a sunset in your eyes)
We're alright

Not yet, no heart or flower
Nothing speaks to me
I am your indolent soldier
No authority have I
Daydreaming, fetal feeling, on the void again
I am close, getting closer, closer to the end

Oh my lover, morning's after me
No more running
Face the dawn and turn your back on me

Blue eyed lizard, I am ordered to withdraw
Strip mined my own mind
With a needle needle crawl
Replace, abandon a love that couldn't give no more
Is it wrong?
To be long for a world I've never seen before

Oh my lover, morning's after me
No more running
Face the dawn and turn your back on me
A crack in the brances hung from the family tree

Morning's after me
The other side, the boy the soldier be
Into the light, into the void, I am free
Another life morning after
A crack in the branches hung from the family tree

I know these things have passed you by I know it's tough to even try It's such a different kind of scene I know you don't know what I mean Yeah well, I tried to tell you before I know all you want is more I'll always tell you different stuff No matter what won't be enough I figure it'll be cool sometime After I've cooked everyone I find I can only take it to that certain place It's just not cool, look at your face Whenever you get in my face There's something strange I start to taste Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back It's all restrain I'm gettin' these days Is it okay or am I out of place So everytime you see me now You psyche for a minute Till you remember how I crawl here inside In mind with muck You stopped smiling Remember how everything sucked Dancing around what I could say Cause I just can't live that way Hold back, that's not enough to stay Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back Hold back, hold back, hold back
