Still sitting there with your legs crossed,
not paying attention to me.
If we talk, just curious, would this end up like it always does?
All the wrong I've done.
All the wrong I'll do.
Keeps me from trying.
It keeps me quiet.
Throw out your arms to each side.
It's easier to let things go.
When we talk think what we say: there's questons then silence and
in silence we remain.
All the wrong I've done and all the wrong I'll do.
It keeps me from trying.
Keeps me from calling you.
Something I just found out.
Something you know by now.
Hope makes you so strong.
Strength keeps you alone and far away.

This time it's on my own.
Minutes from somewhere else.
Somewhere I made a wish with Lucky Denver Mint.
Hurry go on ahead.
Good things won't let you wait.
I'll catch up when we get home.
At home I'll leave.
A dollar under water keeps on dreaming for me.
You're not bigger than this, not better.
Why can't you learn.

The first star I see may not be a star.
We can't do a thing but wait.
So let's wait for one more.
The time such clumsy time in deciding if it's time.
I'm careful but not sure how it goes.
You can loose yourself in your courage.
The mindless comfort grows when I'm alone with my 'great' plans.
This is what she says gets her through it:
If I don't let myself by happy now then when?
If not now when?
When the time we have now ends.
When the big hand goes round again.
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
Close my eyes and believe wherever you are, an angel for me.

For your time its written out.
Work means nothing by itself.
These days are numbered, I can tell.
Until the crash I'll write you down.
Selection kills the old.
Selection breathes on its own.
Sing while you can.
Now, while you can.

She's perfect in her own way.
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey.
Shining, stepping off a silver train.
She's amazing in her own way.
Always moving to a better place
Laughing, you won't get to her better traits.
I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth
from the medicine I can't keep down.
You know time heals nothing by itself.
I see that ever so clearly now.
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center.
Take it slow and make it softer.
Easy likes it nice and steady.
She looks just a little bit different now.
Maybe a little bit softer around her eyes.

I blame it on my entrance.
It may have seen to much like confidence.
Let me start it over.
Help me get to what I can from when I did.
Had to leave my reasons.
It may have seemed to much, the consequence.
In your busy, dizzy life you'll become everything you said you would.
All that I know is how I can hold on but all that you see is how I let you go.
How about once around?

You told me don't you look at the sun,
it burns your eyes out.
I disobeyed and see a man who's going nowhere.
He fed me this: you don't got to worry, you're on your feet.
Please help me down.
Should have made room for others who can't be beat into open sea.
I brainstormed and caught up with my friend who's doing fine now.
It's been uplifting knowing you all have static sources.
I fed him this: man, am I in a hurry to break this chord of our paranoia.
Took him too long to notice and now I'm down where I can't be found.
And there's no antidote for a petty loaf.
I think we've found the lighter side of our friendly host.
I don't mean to boast, we can face all this nonsense.

It's allright to be held back by retro-man.
it's far fetched fun when you're the one.
The prize.
I knew you would come through.
I thought I could be right, number one,
but it's a lie.
It's televised in forest green.
it's been brought back by retro-man.
Hold your thoughts in.
It ain't yet over.
You won't slide under me.
The prize.
I knew you would come through.
I thought I could be right, number one,
but it's a lie.

I've got my car we could go and sit a while
I know it won't turn over but we'll get somewhere just the same
I'm through talking
(it's the strangest thing, I feel safe when I'm lonely)
don't take too much
you'll get burned if it's all at one time
take it easy don't you get it?
it's just an expression
would you raise your voice every time a little dirt gets under?
cry if you want
(it's the return of no sensitivity)
you don't have to scream to say something that you honestly mean
the world won't turn without you
and I am amazed you're standing still
your problems, they aren't problems
be glad they never will
I'm taking my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
when you hear those footsteps calling
it's O.K. if you don't answer
isn't it obvious?
I thought it was obvious.

Save the wrapping for another.
Dressing doesn't mean a thing to me.
Submission for a ladder rung. You decide what you're used for,
you decide.
I know what you are, what you are.
I see clearly what you are, what you are.

I'm glad you found the time to ring.
I just spent all day waiting.
I need to know what's happening.
Well at least we both agree.
Really don't know where to start.
Did you say you met some neighbor.
I guess I'm headed for a broken heart.
Why are you doing this to me?
It's so clear.
I can hear, and i'm not gonna share you with no one.
Surprise, I've got eyes, now goodbye.
How long have you had this planned?
Guess it shows how much you care.
Now I understand how I just played the fool.
Sure I'm gonna let you go.
I was wrong to ever trust you.
Don't think that you'll ever know how you could be so cruel.
It's so clear.
I can hear, and i'm not gonna share you with no one.
Surprise, I've got eyes, now goodbye.

Straight outta Phoenix boys.
Stay up late and listen in.
Trading insult for your time.
It breaks my heart in half to see her jumping up and down screaming:
Cash in honey, cash in now.
Lift your hands up slow.
If only you could see yourself.
Everything you are immitate and water down.
lf Just because you'll never have your politics with perfect means,
doesn't mean you talk the round and round.
Forsdale's syringe is wearing so thin.
Lift your hands up slow.
If only you could see yourself.
Everything we are immitate and water down.
They'll never know your world no matter how they try.
It's your world.
Never know, they'll never know your world
(it's above us)

Hey still staring little girl,
are you looking at or past me?
Worry.
Simple symptoms won't leave you this underweight or red in the eyes.
No more rules, the ones we make don't last the night.
So pick up the pieces.
Start again, start over tuesday morning.
Conscience clean.
This card, postmarked December 23.
The caption reads:How does he do it?
Ms. too bad he treats me like i'm dead.
Nothing works to make this easy.
No more lies.
The ones we live will work just fine.
So pick up the pieces.
Start again, start over tuesday morning.
Conscience clean, alone.
I hope you figure out what it is you want.

Porch light alone as you stepped out.
You stepped out.
It made a silhouette of your head, then you walked down.

Here we go.
(My only cold I fought.)
Here I am, frozen in time I find a way from you, pave the way.
And cause I can't stand still they'll leave you down and out.
And when your face gets here I'll stab you in the back.
Tell me now, I need to know how long.
Clear the way.
Don't make me wait all day.
With you, from you, pave my way.
And cause I can't stand still, they'll leave you down and out.
And when your face gets here I'll stab you in the back.
It's a long way home.
Can't you find your way?
I'm a trampoline.
Lift me up over farenheit.
I'm a trampoline.
I...

You say the most beautiful things,
an endless list of treasures of trimmings.
It takes all my faith just to start
I don't care now how much I'm wrong
my song it shames your ears
every sentence a failure.
Slant rhyme is all I can give half truth is all I'll get.
Show us all what grace can mean,
all of what I might be.
Close your eyes call it escape.
We'll run away from everything
Lie to me,
love me
We'll run away from everything.
