Black
Hey...oooh... Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread 
out before me as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul As 
the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Ooh, and 
all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And 
now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything? Oh, the 
pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... I take a walk 
outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do 
I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm 
spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken 
glass Of what was everything? All the pictures have all been washed in black, 
tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed 
all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah... Uh huh...uh huh...ooh... I 
know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star In somebody 
else's sky, but why Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine

about you Bugs on my window Trying to get in They don't go nowhere Waiting, 
waiting... Bugs on my ceiling Crowded the floor Standing, sitting, kneeling... A 
few block the door And now the question's: Do I kill them? Become their friend? 
Do I eat them? Raw or well done? Do I trick them? I don't think they're dumb Do 
I join them? Looks like that's the one I got bugs on my skin Tickle my nausea I 
let it happen again They're always takin' over I see they surround me, I see... 
See them deciding my fate Oh, that which was once...was once up to me... Now 
it's too late I got bugs in my room...one on one That's when I had a chance I'll 
just stop now I'll become naked And with the...I'll become one

Satan's Bed
It's not all been said...been said and done... I've never slept in Satan's bed 
Although I must admit...still visits my place Uninvited, as you know, he don't 
wait Funny how he always seems to fit in Funny how I always want to give in 
Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same Sometimes the special guest, he 
don't like to leave Already...in love... (3x) Already... Who made, who made up, 
made up the myth That we were born to be covered in bliss? Who set the standard, 
born to be rich? Such fine examples, skinny little bitch Model, role model, roll 
some models in blood Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us I shit and I 
stink, I'm real, join the club I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in love 
Already...in love... (3x) Already... In love...Ah ha ha ha... ...follows 
torture...follows reward... (2x) Oh, oh my butt... Never shook Satan's hand, 
look see for yourself You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off I'll rise 
and fall, let me take credit for both Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so 
back off I'll never suck Satan's dick... Again, you'd see it, you know, right 
round the lips I'll wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath 'Magine 
they're busy, think I'm doing okay... Already...in love... (6x) Already...

Off He Goes
1, 2, 1, 2... Know a man, his face seems pulled and tense Like he's riding on a 
motorbike in the strongest winds So I approach with tact Suggest that he should 
relax But he's always moving much too fast Said he'll see me on the flipside On 
this trip he's taken for a ride He's been taking too much on There he goes with 
his perfectly unkept clothes There he goes... He's yet to come back But I've 
seen his picture It doesn't look the same up on the rack We go way back I wonder 
about his insides Its like his thoughts are too big for his size He's been 
taken... where, I don't know? Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope And 
there he goes... And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned Seems my 
preconceptions are what should have been burned For he still smiles... And he's 
still strong Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown And 
now he's home And we're laughing like we always did My same old, same old friend 
Until a quarter-to-ten I saw the strain creep in He seems distracted and I know 
just what is gonna happen next Before his first step He's off again.

to Lukin's... I got a spot at Lukin's... I knock the door at Lukin's... Open the 
fridge, now I know life is weird I find the key, but I return to find an open

I'm Open
A man lies in his bed in a room with no door He waits hoping for a presence, 
something, anything to enter After spending half his life searching, he still 
felt as blank As the ceiling at which he's staring He's alive, but feels 
absolutely nothing So, is he? When he was six he believed that the moon overhead 
followed him By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact No 
tradebacks... So this is what it's like to be an adult If he only knew now what 
he knew then... I'm open (2x) Come on in (4x) I'm open (2x) Come on in (4x)

Around The Bend
I'm wishing you a-well Mind at peace within your cell Covers up, I cast you off

dream, my little child There's a sun around the bend (yes) There's a sun around 
the bend All the evenings close like this All these moments that I've missed 
Please forgive me, won't you, dear? Please forgive and let me share... With you

Screaming

And echoes... that nobody hears
It goes (x3)

Just be a darling

No Way

Here's a token of my open-ness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to be there for.. me

All the static in my Attica
shoots down my sciatic nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
I just need someone to be there for..
I just want someone to be there for..
Someone to be there for me

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way

Ooh, let's call in an angel
Ooh, let's call in an angel
Ooh, let's call in an angel

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way, no way

Given to Fly

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up out of there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw,
Delivered him wings, "Hey look at me now..."
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, oh, oh... 

He's flying, Whole!
High! Wide! Oh...

He floated back down cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well fuckers... He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away;
the love he recieves is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly...

Flying! Whole...
High! Flying! Whole...
He's flying! Woah...
High... Woah... Oh...

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament that you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For fifty million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off of a Camaro's hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souviener your kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended upon
I wish I was the verb to trust that never let you down

I wish I was a radio song the one that you turned up
I wish I wish...

Looking in, drawing circles down
Falling off the south marking ground

Mini Fast Car
Sliding out of reverse into drive
This wheel will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can remember a time denied, stood by
The side of the road, spilled like wine, now
She's out on her own and line high

There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
She's disappeared

They said timing was everything
Made him want to be everywhere
There's a lot to be said for nowhere

There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
He's disappeared
There's no leaving here
Ask, i'm an ear
Fuck it, we'll disappear

Lowlight
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way
Wind goes by
Low light
Sidetracked
Low light
Can't see my tracks
Your scent--way back

Can I be here all alone
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
I will feel calm
Voice blows by
Low light
Car crash
Low light
Can't wear my mask
Your first, my last

Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by
Low light
Eyesight
Low light
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong
What's real, our dream I see

In Hiding
I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth
of every club around

But nothing's sound
oh.. nothing's sound

I'd stay here where my last cab left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions,
and cracks along the walls

They were upside down

I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow my face just to keep from biting... biting, biting
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my being was enlightened

Now...I'm
I'm in hiding, yeah (x2)
I'm in hiding, yeah yeah
I'm in hiding 

It's been about three days now since I've been aground
No longer, overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
It's funny when things change so much
It's all a state of mind

I swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting... biting, biting
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving
I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened

Now I'm

I thought I came here to stay
We're all just visiting
All just breaking like waves
The oceans made me, but who came up with me?
Push me, pull me, or pull me out {2X}

So if there were no angels, would there be no sin?
You better stop me before I begin
But let me say: if I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground
Somewhere nice, make it nice
Where the land meets my pride
Push me, pull me, or pull me out {4X}

Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm like an opening band for the sun
Push me, pull me {6X}
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough, I'm fine

All those Yesterdays

Don't you think you oughtta rest
Don't you think you oughtta lay you head down
Don't you think you want to sleep
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down, tonight

Don't you think you've done enough
Oh, don't you think you've got enough, well maybe...
You don't think there's time to stop
There's time enough for you to lay your head down...tonight, tonight

Maybe it'll wash away
All those yesterdays...

What are you running from
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches you
Drifting off and doing all the things
That we all do

Let them all wash away
All those yesterdays...
All those yesterdays
All those paper plates
All those yesterdays

You've got time, you've got time to escape
There's still time
It's no crime to escape (x3)
There's still time, so escape
It's no crime...
All those yesterdays (x10)

I Got ID
My lips are shakin' my nails are bit off Been a month since I've heard myself 
talk All the advantage this life's got on me Picture a cup in the middle of the 
sea And I fight back in my mind Never lets me be right I got memories I got shit 
So don't you go show Oh I walked the line when you held me in that night I 
walked the line when you held my hand that night An empty shells seem so easy to 
crack Got all these questions don't know who I could even ask So I'll just lie 
alone and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and your lookin' at me And I 
stayed in bed Oh in a little while I'll see you If just once I could feel love 
Oh I'd say it like I mean it But I walked the line when you held me in that 
night Oh I walked the line when you held my hand that night Oh I walked the line 
when you held me close that night I paid the price never held you in real life 
My lips are shakin'

The Long Road
And I wished for so long cannot stay All the precious moments cannot stay It's 
not like wings have fallen cannot stay But still something's missing I cannot 
say yea Holding hands are daughters and sons And their faiths are falling down 
down down down I have wished for so long How I wish for you today Will I walk 
the long road the long road Cannot stay the long road There's no need to say 
goodbye say goodbye All the friends and family All the memories going round 
round round I have wished for so long How I wish for you today And the wind 
keeps roarin' And the sky keeps turning grey And the sun is setting The sun 
won't rise another day I have wished for so long How I wish for you today I have 
wished for so long How I wish for you today Will I walk the long road We all 
walk the long road Will I walk the long road We all walk the long road Will I 
walk the long road Will I walk the long road We all walk the long road Will I 
walk the long road We all walk the long road Will I walk the long road
