Yo La Tengo

everybody knows
that you've been untrue
you've gone and broke my heart
and made me blue

turn my head around
when you tore me down

if I had a choice
I might be sad
'cause when I hear yr voice
it makes me glad

baby's not around
but she's leaving town

baby
baby
don't run away
I want you to stay
Im sorry
so sorry
I made you blue
and now you should be sorry too
should be sorry too

now Im so alone
yr far away
I sit here at home
no words to say

to anyone around
'cause you tore me down

tore me down
tore me down
tore me down

If you want, want my love
Take it baby
If you want, want my heart
Take it baby
You can have it all

If you want, want my time
Take it baby
And if you want my last dime
Take it bay
You can have it all

Take it baby, you can have it all

A man in the moon,
Taps at the window,
How will we know your silhoutte?
How will we reach you?

Waving his hands,
Shouting,
Is there anymore to that yellow sarong?
It's more than just a bit of grass,
What a landscape.
(What a landscape)

Yeah yeah yeah.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Yeah yeah yeah.
A man in the moon,
Taps at the window,
How will we know your silhoutte?
How will we reach you?
(How will we reach you?)

Yeah yeah yeah.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Yeah yeah yeah.

I love this light in winter time,
The frost cakes in the carpet
in winter time we'll have our ways
tombstones the mean belong in
No falls snowfalls that ruin my day
It’s masked up from the street wire
and winter’s glow where could she be
She’s warm underneath my pocket
Just a calm and modern day
In early, early morning
Rush to her, and rush to him,
Am I a better person?
even in the whole take on
the loss is better said
I pulled the boy out of above
She made that boy a man

On the beach overseas
Icy water slaps at our knees
And the buoy was signaling
As if it knew we were far from home
And you looked at me
And all I could see
Were the lights that were flickering
And suddenly we were all alone

It's not an impossible thing to do
And I'm helpless to do anything for you
Can't keep from wondering

You were under a spell
Waiting for time to tell
If I could, you know I would,
Accept this moment and sympathize
Then you looked at me
And all I can see
Were the walls closing in again
And the desperation in your eyes

It's not an impossible thing to do
I know there's a better life for you
I can't keep from wondering

It's not an impossible thing to do
And I'm helpless to say anything to you
I want to see a better life for you
I can't keep from wondering

Spun out in the world
Just in sync to break out of my mind
Out of this in the world
Nothing seems to take me out of my mind

Night time in
But with wind
Cold winds always push me back inside
I'll hide

When the sun comes in
Will you smile at me
And call my name
When it's dark
Will I come apart?

This day where we've been alone
I can't seem to get out of my mind
We'll win this race alone
Sometimes it really drives me out of my mind

Night time in
But with wind
Cold winds always push me back inside
I'll hide

When the sun comes in
Will you smile at me
And call my name
When it's dark
Will I come apart?

And when I see you
See you far up higher than me
I can hear it turn and look the other way

When the sun comes in
Will you smile at me
And call my name
But the rain she comes
Let the clouds come in
And the clouds will break
When the stars are overhead
Will the clouds come in
And carry me away?
When it's dark and it rains
Will I come apart?

I been back and forth

Around and 'roudn

Taking back the last thing that i say

And it made me wonder

Made me wonder just where i went wrong

On a lazy drive i don't know where

Didn't even care if i got home

And it made me wonder

Made me wonder how i could be good

Time won't wait for you

I'll wait for you always

Some things should never change

And it made me wonder

When you wonder just what happens next

Driving in the south, the motor's on fire
Let's put it out, before the flames go higher

Monday matinee, in pull we are life's throb
So hard to choose between conceit and rock

Some college in the spring, the sound is all wrong
Reset the mate to our Flamin Groovies song

Driving, night again, they're late, car crash
We'll turn to look unless we're going too fast

I walk a tight rope
and live with a high hope
that somehow we still feel the same
through this catastrophe it's quietly telling me welcome that first word again

I don't care if the worlds upside down if you're lost or you're found
I know your feet will stay far from the ground
If you just stick around

I know the shots you call gentle
cause I could fall and break
you'll hear what they say

I read between the lines
It's just like a hate crime
And tell me the dateline today

I don't care if the worlds upside down if you're lost or you're found
I know your feet will stay far from the ground
If you just stick around

Stopped awhile this morning on my way back home
I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone
Cause she is moving somewhere far away not slow
And though I tried so hard to please her
She said she really had to go
Even though this time it really hurts me bad
I've been through similarities it's not the first break I've had
And I just can't let it bring me down too low
And though I tried so hard to please her
There must be something more to know
Never thought that we would find our end this way
It seemed that everything was going fine
Still with all the things that I can do or say
It won't change the fate I know so well is mine
So I'll stop and look right past the pain
Cause I've been in love before and I can love again
While she's moving somewhere far away not slow
And though I tried so hard to please her
She said she really had to go

Julie Christie, the rumors are true
As the pages turn, my eyes are glued
To the movie star and his sordid life
Mr. X and his old-suffering wife
I spent so much time dreaming about Eleanor Bron
In my room with the curtains drawn
See her in the arms of Paul
Say it, I can say no more
As the music swells somehow stronger from adversity
Our hero finds his inner peace
So now I'm looking for a lucky charm
With a needle hanging out of its arm
..

As time goes by I know it's gonna happen
I know it's going away
Gonna take its toll, gonna take its toll
Gonna take my time
And I'm thinking about the way things are
And I'm thinking about the way things were
Thinking about Eleanor Bron
And I'm thinking about a lucky charm
And I'm thinking about the needle
Oh, I'm thinking about the needle
And I'm thinking about...

i followed you...foolishly
you were at a smoky bar, you were out til three
sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
couldn't wait for you all night
so i locked the door

i was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay
we were gonna talk all night, till i went away
remember how you used to say, can't stay up late
a minute later we're older now, i can't stay awake
i'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet
i remember that rusty car, like it was yesterday

saw my brother driving by, the other day
i wished that i'd go out to him, but he drove away
saw my sister standing there, standing in rain
then i thought about nothing, that it feels the same

another day, come and gone
don't think i can ever sing that song
little secrets we bring along
i'm taking my time, trailing behind, i thought of you
today is the day i think of you

i followed you...foolishly
you were at a smoky bar, you were out til three
sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
couldn't wait for you all night
so i locked the door

i was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay
we were gonna talk all night, till i went away
remember how you used to say, can't stay up late
a minute later we're older now, i can't stay awake
i'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet

saw my brother driving by, the other day
i wished that i'd go out to him, but he drove away
saw my sister standing there, standing in rain
then i thought about nothing, that it feels the same

another day, come and gone
don't think i can ever sing that song
little secrets we bring along
i'm taking my time, trailing behind, i thought of you
today is the day i think of you

I will go if you say you'll go, do you want to go?
I won't talk at all, but I'll go for a ride
I will go if you just let go, do you want to go?
Is it all because of the time I took your advice?

I will go if you still want to go, do you want to go?
And I will show what you want me to show, do you want to know?
Until there's nothing left in the world to show you

On we go, but where I don't know, do you want to go?
You don't talk at all but it's alright
Feeling bold but your nose is cold like it's made of snow
Is it all because of the time you took my advice?

If you put your hand in my palm, I won't let it go
Until there's nothing left in the world to make me

Summer stinks and summer stays too long
Autumn comes and all of a sudden it's gone
Tiny birds sit patiently
Side by side on a wire

Darker days and leaves in shades so true
Wind unfolds on nights so black they're blue
Tiny birds fly by silently
Side by side in the sky

Don't be sad when it's time to say goodnight
I'll be there to make sure that you sleep tight
I'm your friend when you need a friend
Until there's nothing left in the world to make you cry

You've been watching over me
Saying you're keeping me company
I should be grateful, I suppose
and compare you to a summer's rose

You've been talking sweet to me
about peace and loving harmony
But I know what you say about me
So now I tell you cause I gotta break free

That I can't give you no false affection
I can do without your phony charm
This train ain't moving in your direction
This piece of poetry is meant to do harm

Please don't give me no warm reception
What you call peace to me is a call to arms
Some are singing to raise affection
But this piece poetry is meant to do harm

So with what shall I compare thee?
Summer's clay or winter's sleet?
You made a non-believer out of me,
Now you ask for my sympathy?

No, take your words and take your vows
Take your flake-fuelled buddhist bows
Let the cool winds roughly shake
out all darling buds of fake

I can't give you no false affection
I can do without your phony charm
This train ain't moving in your direction
This piece of poetry is meant to do harm

And don't you give me no warm reception
What you call peace to me is a call to arms
I'm not singing to raise affection
This piece of poetry is meant to do harm

Wanted to be near you
through any situation
The horrors and the pleasures
you know I'd be there
If you have one doubt
I'd harrow through
these treasures, live only
for your leisure… you know
I'd always be there.
Won’t you come into this house

Believe in all you think and
what is real, wont you see
all the fillowy pillowy stuff
that you thought you wanted
was a dream,
Contact every spacial being
tell 'em we need some space down here
Won’t you come into this house...

Well, I used to have the notion I could swim the length of the ocean
If I knew that you were waiting for me
I used to have the notion I could swim the length of the ocean
I'd plumb the depths of every sea for you

I'd escape from my chains
And I'll reach out for you

Maybe I'm in love with you
Maybe, maybe I'm in love with you
I had to contact you, found out I was in love with you
I had to contact

That's it, that's the law, that's the whole of the law
The whole of the law

Stars will burn
When the sky
In a day that you realize
Your plane(?) would subside
If not for the weakest part

Of your heart
Of your heart

Bells ring out
When you sleep
Too hard to ignore
But kneel like a fool
Just don't see
He plays on the weakest part

Of your heart
Of your heart

(GUITAR SOLO)

If not for the weakest part

Of your heart
Of your heart

Some sunny day
The wind will come along
And stand through dusty sa--?
And your love
? your eyes

Stars could fall right out of the sky
(If not for the weakest part)
Bells could ring till the end of time
(If not for the weakest part)
Someday soon it'll be all right
(If not for the weakest part)

La, la, la….

on darkened streets tonight
i see a simple time
i see the warning light
and the summer comes undone
no sorry closing eyes
no cutting down to size
no other thoughts arise
and the summer come undone

on darkened streets tonight
i make a wrong turn right
take in the lonely sight
and the summer comes undone

and i won't wait
and i won't have to
i just waste me time alone
'til the summer comes undone
'til the summer comes undone
'til the summer comes undone

We stared at the sun, too long
until the shapes before our eyes
turned into the sun, in our eyes
We lied to ourselves for awhile
in our usual style
I wish we could ride
To ourselves again

We made up our minds
to lose and never once looked back
We only looked back
just once
We opened our hearts, it's true
But not to any of you
Sold out of the myth
too soon

And we tried, we tried with all our might
We tore the playhouse down
We ran headlong in our way
We tried so hard

We stared at the road ahead
Closed our eyes and then
sped up to the turn, around the bend
With nothing to lose, we lost
Suffered every cost
It still causes pain to calm

And we tried, we tried with all our might
We tore the playhouse down
We ran headlong in our way
We tried so hard

And we tried, we tried with all our might
We tore the playhouse down
We ran headlong in our way
We tried so hard
And we tried, we tried with all our might
We tore the playhouse down
And we ran headlong in our way
We tried so hard

Refused to let go
of the air
There was something there
Sparks foam with gold
A million strong
and match forever lights in a row
I'm still flushed from the glow
I'm down on the road
back home
We stared at the sun, too long
until the shapes before our eyes turned back into the sun, into the sun in our eyes
We lied to ourselves for awhile
in our usual style
Now I wish we could ride, we wish we could lie to ourselves again
And we tried, we tried, we tried with all our might
we tore the playhouse down
We ran headlong, headlong in our way...
we tried so hard...
we tried so hard...

the room got heavy
with a lamppost looming
we were driving in a circle
somewhere near the station
shoot me in the bushes
my eyes aren't focused
??
parsing through the tunnel
??
summer after dark
??
to a party invitation
and the room got heavy
but only for a minute
the barroom was wearing thin
ohh

the room got heavy
all the concrete in the air
had to park around the corner
at the yellow light blinking
she said "i wouldn't do that"
but we all know that she did
from the look on her face
her arms slightly folded
and he headed for the door
reach across the floor
hands in my pocket
my eyes aren't focused
and the room got heavy
but only for a minute
while we were waiting for you
ohh

We were young
No one could figure out
Things we said
There was so much to laugh about

Now at the end of the day
Wish I could hear you say
We're at the starting gate
And the race is on again

Just last night
I couldn't sleep at all
Lost my mind
Lost my footing scaling the wall

Now at the break of day
Wish I could hear you say
We're at the starting gate
And the race is on again

Now at the end of the day
Wish I could hear you say
We're at the starting gate
And the race is on again

Now at the end of the day
Wish you would say
And the race is on again

What am I doing now?
What am I doing now?
What am I doing wrong?

Will you wait for me?
Or will you run away?
I swear that I knew yesterday
Yesterday

What am I doing now?
What am I doing wrong?

Will you wait for me?
Or will you run away?
I swear that I knew yesterday

I told you if i ever caught you fooling round again
That if you were untrue
That you and I are through
But now i've caught you and i know that this should be the end

Though i should tell you so
My heart keeps saying no
Oh if i say goodbye then i am gonna be the one to cry

Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry

Oh i can't bare to be the one to keep you from my side
How could you be so cruel
You played me for a fool
But if i change my mind then i would throw away my pride

So now what should i do
Oh how i wish i knew
Oh if i say goodbye then i am gonna be the one to cry

Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry

So now what should i do
Oh how i wish i knew
Oh if i say goodbye then i am gonna be the one to cry

Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry
Cry cry cry cry

Talking words, angry words
Hang in the air, we don't dare
Sky went gray, wake in white
Hangs in the air, we don't dare

And there's a thousand reasons
I don't need them to help the fired flare
And even as we near it, I can't hear it
Files in the air
We don't dare

As he fired up the drum machine
He stole a glance at the empty seats
He took a minute to retune his guitar
As the hour grew late

I wanna send this out to Richie Vey
In his thrift-store corner of the world
His soul is my cheap laugh
As the hour grows late

And if I go
Leaving much of life
Somewhere
Beyond the fireside
Somewhere

And when I'm gone
Lemme imagine life
Sometime
Please think of me
Please think of me

It's a lot of time
It's a lot of time
For a man who walks on me
For a man who walks on me

That's the way it is
That's the way it is
When a man walks on me
When a man walks on me

It's a lot of time
It's a lot of time
For a man who walks on me
For a man who walks on me

That's the way it is
That's the way it is
When a man walks on me
When a man walks on me

It's a lot of time
It's a lot of time
For a man who walks on me
For a man who walks on me

That's the way it is
That's the way it is
When a man walks on me
When a man walks on me

Too unpressed for strategy so dignity must be spared
Watch the leaves in the empty pool as the widow drew her shade

Season was here
No drums to calm their fear
Let's drink the leper's beer

The leper's playing his salsa game and tempest swept dark land
The lover's turns and parasites over the frying pan

Coffee's brewed
And the men playing cards
And the mystery plane
And the forest winds
Their searching out overy the sea

What did I miss here?
What can't you take anymore?
Expecting a whisper, I heard the slam of the door
You say that all we do is fight and I think,
Gee, I don't know if that's true
And then I wonder, am I right or is that part of our problem?
Maybe I'm out of my mind, maybe I'm blocking out the truth
But it seems like just a little thing
You don't want to listen, I don't what to shut up

Don't have to smile at me, don't have to talk
All that I ask is you stop and remember it isn't always this way

You have the problem, there goes one of our private jokes
When you're in a fury, laughter gets stuck in my throat
I wonder why we have so much trouble cheering each other up sometimes
when one or the other or us is down
Instead it's like you know if you're in a bad mood
I look at you and I think maybe she knows something I don't know
Maybe I should be upset

Don't have to smile at me, don't have to talk
All that I ask is you stop and remember it isn't always this way

The way that I feel when you laugh is like lauging
The way that I feel when you cry is so bad

I wonder what's on your mind
I wonder what's on your mind
Look around and see
What it does to me
I wonder what's on your mind

I think I'll throw it all away
I think I'll throw it all away
And if dreams come back to me
I'll pretend that I don't see
I'll just cover my eyes instead

It'll surely come
It'll surely come
Here it comes again

You tell me summer's here
and the time is wrong
You tell me winter's here
And your days are getting long

Tears are in your eyes
Tonight

You tell me that you haven't slept in days
You tell me sleeping only makes your tired anyway

Tears are in your eyes
Tonight
Tears are in your eyes
Every night

Although you don't beleive me, you are strong
Darkness always turns into the dawn
And you won't even remember this for long
When it ends alright

Please tell me how you know tomorrow staring at your shoes

Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Tears are in your eyes
Every night
Tears are in your eyes
Tonight

Take care not to hurt yourself
Beware of the need for help
You might need too much
When people are such

Take care, please
Take care

Some people read idea books
And some people have pretty looks
But if your eyes are wide
And all words aside

Take care, please
Take care

This sounds a bit like goodbye
In a way it is, I guess
As I leave your side
I've taken the air

Take care, please
Take care
Take care, please
Take care

Whatever you want from me, whatever you want I'll do
Try to squeeze a drop of blood from a sugarcube

Try to be more assured, try to be more right there
Try to be less uptight, try to be more aware
Whatever you want from me, is what I want to do for you
Sweeter than a drop of blood from a sugarcube

And though I like to act the part of being tough
I crumble like a sugarcube for you

Whatever you want from me, whatever you want I'll do
I will try

Will you stare, will you stare as the final curtain starts to fall
Will you watch, will you watch with closing eyes,
with closing eyes
Everyone, everyone's a little worried, you know I am
But I hate to watch the days go by, watch the days go by
Another day, another time, another way for the moment, watch it for a sign...

Well I don't know,
but I'm pretty sure that I want to shoot it in the back

As the days go by, I'm stepping on them all like ants
I've seen the way that they look at you
Maybe you, or maybe not a guess,
we'll know it after a while
I'm wondering just how this will stop,
how's it gonna stop
Another day, another time, another way for the moment, watch it for a sign...
when to be mine

What's the matter, why don't you answer
What's the matter with me
Cause it's so hard to be
Free and easy, we'll disappear completely
Hardly as I've known it's glad

You're heart is broken, and the doors are open
As you're hoping to be
There's brighter places to see
Hands need warning, early in the morning
Hardly as I've known a surprise

No, don't warn me
I know it's wrong, but I swear it won't take long
And I know, you know,
It makes me sigh; I do believe in love

Another season, but the same old feelings
Another reason could be
I'm tired of aching, summer's what you make it
But I'll believe what I want to believe

Six for the frightened child
On the day we die
Five for the search for meaning
In the tears we cry
Le lie le lie
Tonight

Four from the shadows
Hiding just out of sight
Three for the disappearence
In the morning light
Le light le light
Tearing your arms to hold you tight
Tonight

One for the kiss
Before we say goodbye
Six for the frightened child
On the day we die
The light, the light
Tonight, tonight

Sometimes I don't get you
It's like I understand
All I do is a waste
And the look on your face
??
And I'm feeling myself make it be
Together was one happily...
Sometimes I don't get you
??

Sometimes I don't know you
It's like we never met
And what seems fine by me
Is your littany of regrets
Am I'm clinging to something that's passed
That was never intended to last
Sometimes I don't know you
Lessons with my ??

Sometimes I think I don't know
How to be on my own
Sometimes I won't answer the door
Or talk on the phone
With you by my side
I don't have to mind
???
So that it can continue to grow

???
So that it can continue to grow

Sometimes I don't get you
It's like I'm lost at sea
Then you say you're okay
And I know that you'll stay with me
Oh it never comes soon enough
We'll get through the difficult stuff
??
I'll be there for you
And maybe I'll get you
And you'll get me

Well just-a look at that girl
With the lights comin' up in her eyes
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
All the guys on the corner
Stand back and let her walk on by
She's got to be somebody's baby
She's must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's baby
She's so fine

She's probably somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby all right

I heard her talking with her friend
When she thought nobody else was around
She said she's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
'Cause when the cars and the signs
And the streetlights light up the town
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's baby
She's so...

She's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

I try to shut my eyes
But I can't get her out of my sight
I know I'm gonna know her
But I gotta get over my fright
Well I'm just gonna walk up to her
I'm gonna talk to her tonight

Yeah she's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
Gonna shine tonight
Make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight
Make her mine tonight

The sidewalk is rushing at my head again
I’m lying on the street in the rain and wind
From doing forward rolls down Avenue A
With my guitar on my back don’t let it end this way

Somehow I dialed my cell I didn’t know
I could get service in hell
How quickly can you get here
Don’t know where I am dear
Finally the world actually seems to be revolving around me

Shooby dooby doo op I overdid it at the sodashop
thanks for being my girl at the I don't know when to stop sock hop

you held my head over the edge of the bed
I remember it now but at the time I thought I was dead
you put a pan there and held back my hair
how can I repay you for saving me? and my hardwood floor

Shooby dooby doo op I overdid it at the sodashop
thanks for being my girl at the I don't know
when to stop sock hop
and when the world stops spinning round
I pick the pan off of the ground
I read my upheaves they're much like tea leaves
they said its over so get sober or you'll die

again

Shooby dooby doo op I overdid it at the sodashop
thanks for being my girl at the I don't know
when to stop sock hop

Scold me, that's all you've got to say
Coldly hurt me and turn away
You say I'm not sorry that
I'm resolved to what is next
I head for the shadows

Hold me, taking it back in tears
You've told me, slowly confessed your fears
But I've got myself to protect
It's too soon for me to forget
I wait in the shadows

In the shadows, where I end up loved
They help me see that I've finally won
We wait in your heart

So until I truly believe
That your words convey what you mean
I wait in the shadows
I wait in the shadows
I don't mind the shadows

In the middle of nowhere
Thought I heard a sound
Went to seek it out
Track it down

In the middle of nowhere
Broke out in sweat
And I don't know how I got there
All I knew was I was wet

There was no one, nobody there
I was tired and I was scared

Maybe next time I'll know better
Maybe I've learned nothing at all
Nothing at all (x2)

I should have known...(x3)

Do you need someone to hide behind?
Well, I don't mind, well, I don't mind
Do you need to be alone to unwind?
Well, that's alright, that's alright

Sure I know it's hard
You know that it's that way for everyone, for everyone
Some things go wrong
Sink so low you even blame the sun

You blame it as the cause
Of the shadows on the wall
They're not as bad as they appear
Could it be that it's the season of the shark?

Do you need someone to help you through?
Well, I don't know, I don't know
Someone to take questions for you
I don't know, I don't know

I want to be
The one to make you feel okay right now, someway, somehow
When I fall short
I sink so low I even blame the clouds

For blocking out the sun
And the shadows on the wall
That's why you feel alone
Could it be that it's the season of the shark?

Please don't be afraid
No matter how much out there scares you so, scares you so
Just look around
If it's not me then someone else you know

You're not alone at all
Ignore the shadows on the wall
They don't mean a thing
Could it be that it's the season, I believe that it's the season of the shark

Could it be that it's the season of the shark?

The room was filled with talk
For anyone listening
I found a spot by the door with no one around
Let my mind go out of tune

I kept a smile on my face
For anyone looking
Tried to turn away questions
Before being asked
Let my mind go out of tune, out of tune

I was engrossed in the film
Without really watching
Said "Who's the guy with the gun?"
As if I was involved
Let my mind go out of tune, out of tune

one of these days
i'm gonna get myself a gun (ahh)
i might just shoot you down (ahh)
we know sometimes justice moves too slow
i'll be the judge, give it a gentle nudge

don't want to live my life
compassionate and humane (ahh)
it doesn't hurt to dream (ahh)
for some, love and justice never come
but the blind and both can be unkind

(ahh) love is in the air
nobody's love is blue (ahh)
all you need is love (ahh)
and to our friends
thinking of you as we look ahead
and to all the people
that we want dead (ahh)

Never read Proust
Seems a little too long
Never used the hammer
Without somehow using it wrong
I've got time on my hands
That I can't wash off
I'm guzzling vitamin C but
I can't shake this cough

Walls are closing in
They often do
I'm seeing double and triple
Does this ever happen to you?
I don't have to make it rain
But I never argue with improving the view

Never wear a helmet
When I'm riding a bike
Never recall a face
To me, they all look alike
I've got a hole in my brain
Where what I meant to say lives
I'm livin' in the past
The gift that gives and gives

Walls are closing in
They often do
I'm seeing double and triple
Does this ever happen to you?
I don't have to make it rain
But I never argue with improving the view

Sometimes
In the future tense
I hope that you are safer
Put up an electric fence
Then and only then
We can all get along
Get it down in writing
Judge Judy tell me if I'm wrong
Walls are closing in
They often do
I'm seeing double and triple
Does this ever happened to you?
I don't have to make it rain
But I never argue with improving the view

Walking on 10th Street
The guy in front of me, Walkman, headphones on,
Stones cranked
The thing that caught my ear, singing loud and clear
Well every couple of steps I heard "Woo-woo"
And he said it so un-self-consciously
That never it would occur to me that
He revealed himself
and I'd offer a blue

I was drunk the night we met, I might try to forget
Except I know so were you
I don't really care, cause we went on from there
And I try not to hide from what is true
The other night I had this dream
You told me what you want from me
I gave it to you instantly
and I woke up without a clue

Unplug the microphone
The ticker tape scream
They're all desensitized
Grown so backwards
Crush a ??
Well it's slide slide slide
Down the water slide
Slide slide slide
Down the water slide

Unplug the microscope
The ticker tape stream
??
It's easy to be quiet
But harder than it seems
While I slide slide
Down the water slide
Slide slide slide
Down the water slide

Unplug the microphone
The ticker tape screams
??
Can't see for miles
Can't see the pavement for the street
Well it's slide slide slide
Down the water slide
Slide slide slide
Down the water slide

Slide

Show me where you keep all your secrets upstairs
Night after night you sleep while they're setting off flares

Someone came and took all the roses away
Now you'll sit showing me tears if you want me to stay
Cause down the street all the meters have run out of time, run out of time

I waited for you as the trees swayed out of time
In a crowded room I pick up your lonely stare
I'll cover for you like a slipcover covers a chair
But someone came and took all the roses away
It was only 5 minutes but it felt like it stretched into a day
Someone came and took all the roses away

I remember a summer's day
I remember walking up to you
I remember my face turned red
And I remember staring at my feet
I remember before we met
I remember sitting next to you
And I remember pretending I wasn't looking

So we try and try
Even if it lasts an hour
With all our might
We'll try and make it ours
Cause we're on our way
We're on our way to fall in love

I remember your old guitar
I remember I Can't Explain
I remember the way it looked around your neck
And I remember the day it broke
I remember song you sang
I remember "The Way You Looked Tonight"
And I remember the way it made me feel

So we try and try
Even if it lasts an hour
With all our might
We'll try and make it ours
Because we're on our way
We're on our way to fall in love
