Sweet Isolation
03:15
|
|||
Lying on the back seat I'm sick
Ashamed of the things I did
The radio is whispering and I'm hardly listening
Something is missing and it's keeping me awake
So I turn the engine on
Rubbing my hands 'til it's warm
The windshield is frozen and the stoplight is broken
And I was just hoping that you might call
My sweet isolation is pulling me apart
I feel it most when it's after dark
How did this happen and why I don't know
But I think I'm done here
I want to come home
So I hear you talking again
You don't approve of the places I've been
No I don't love her but she offered me comfort
But comfort means nothing if it don't come from you
My foolish decisions are pulling me apart
I feel it most when it's after dark
How did this happen and why I don't know
But I think I'm done here
I want to come home

The Dream Song
04:15
|

I dreamed of a shape shifting land
Want to reach out and touch with my hands
I can't take my eyes off the edge
When staying here just scares me to death
And I wish I knew a way to tell you where I've been
In a place where all the light will always let you in
I pulled what you put in me out
And sewed up your beautiful mouth
Now we've got time to think
With the needle and blood down the sink
A lost lover in the darkest water
The moon is begging me to stay
But even if I stayed here longer
I'd travel farther away
When every little moment passing
Is a question asking me
Are you wasting your time
Waiting for signs?
Would you give it up?
Would you give it up?

Heart Of Mine
03:22
|
|||
Her father was a concrete man
And her mother was a painter
Born with good hands
She was born a creator
But the coiled heat of this neon light
Won't help anyone find anything tonight
It doesn't feel like rain but you know it might
You won't find anything tonight
She said I'll leave in the morning time
The straightest road for my twisted mind
For the love that I placed on the line
I'll never understand this heart of mine
Two years in New York City
Still lost on the train
So this is what it looks like
To see a man go insane
She rents a new room and puts her mattress on the floor
The phone doesn't ring like it used to anymore
When all your life you've been waiting by the door
But you're not waiting anymore
She said I'll leave in the morning time
The straightest road for my twisted mind
For the love that I placed on the line
I'll never understand this heart of mine
And I'd repair the x-rays in your eyes
The radiation in your mind
And I'd tell you now
Don't leave me here
These walls have grown
But I'm still here
Alone
She said I'll leave in the morning time
The straightest road for my twisted mind
For the love that I placed on the line
I'll never understand this heart of mine

Chandelier Love
04:23
|
|||
In a cold water hotel
When your heart is ringing like a bell
Like the voice of the ocean living in a shell
In a cold water hotel
Oh the terrible timing of your blue eyes
Wanting more than you need
And the chandelier love high above our heads
A thing that belongs out of reach
Blue light in the highway frame
I'm standing in my way
And I don't know how to say
That noone knows where I'm from
Noone knows where I'm from
I get my lovin' on the run
I'm nervous all the time
Shaking hands under the hospital sign
What used to be your pain has now become mine
I'm nervous all the time
Oh the terrible timing of your blue eyes
Wanting more than you need
And the chandelier love high above our heads
A thing that belongs out of reach
Blue light in the highway frame
I'm standing in my way
And I don't know how to say
That noone knows where I'm from
Noone knows where I'm from
I get my lovin' on the run

Islands
04:33
|
|||
In the morning I can see for miles
Island
I'm an Island
And I'm doing fine
I'm doing fine
Can you warn them as the evening falls
Silent
When I'm silent
I'm doing fine
I'm doing fine
Just like you
Out from the cover and underneath
I walk for a moment through the cartwheel leaves
And I hold my love and I hold my tounge
As if I'd never before held a single one
I'm doing fine
I'm doing fine
Islands
Islands
Islands
I'm an island
Just like you

Better Off Dead
03:19
|
|||
I used to get so lonely in the moonlight
But now I just talk to myself night after night
I say hey good looking
Whachu got cookin' with that TV set on mute
Don't go to California where everyone is happy
You don't want to be happy now do you?
Let's go for a ride on the clean subway
It's just like a partay you know
And we'll pack in like sardines
With someone else's jeans
Rubbing the back of my leg
I think we're better off dead
I think we're better off dead
I think we're better off dead
I think we're better off...
Hey good lookin'
Whachu got cookin' with that TV set on mute
Let's go into the city where everyone's pretty
And we'll get real shitty
Hallelujah
And as the sun begins to rise we'll pass out on Broadway
In God's little hallway you know
And nobody will care
No they won't even stare
At the pigeon walking on my head
I think we're better off dead
I think we're better off dead
I think we're better off dead
I think we're better off dead

Interstate
04:33
|

Well it came along like a simple song
That won't matter by next year
A dogwood tree singing prayers to me
And for a moment the cold dissapears
Shadows are moving across the floor
And I've always known that I will always want
More
Trying to find buried alive all my troubles for you
Trying to survive the fears that I've tried all my life to lose
Like a choice I'll never choose
I've been to every state to ruminate
The poison of being young
I've used the interstate to machinate
Against my growing up
My failures are moving beneath the floor
And I love anyone that ever went back
For more
Trying to find buried alive all my troubles for you
Trying to survive the fears that I've tried all my life to lose
Like a choice I'll never choose

All Night Pharmacy
03:28
|
|||
I dreamed the current left the galaxy
Nothing here but abandonded machines
Magnified with only my two feet now
I loot the nearest All Night Pharmacy
And now I can hear the crying bloodless butcher
Carving his prayers out of the night
And now I can feel the falling bashful boxer
Forever born to lose the fight
With our small chances
Small chances
Like the tall branches
I see our small chances
Good luck - I'm always on the fence now
Soon enough it won't matter where I climb to
As the world is undergoing demolition
At the dump is where I'm going to find you
And now I can hear the crying bloodless butcher
Carving his prayers out of the night
And now I can feel the falling bashful boxer
Forever born to lose the fight
With our small chances
Small chances
Like the tall branches
I see our small chances
With every pill I'm gaining back my clarity
But I will need every single All Night Pharmacy
Every single All Night Pharmacy
Every single All Night Pharmacy…

Wasp

Wasp on the redwood
Of your red house
Slowly washing
Blood from your mouth
Isolated in your eden
Noone wonders
Why you're bleeding
Cover your eyes
You won't feel it
Swallow all your knives tonight
You won't feel it at all
Wasp on the redwood
Of your red house
Slowly washing
Blood from your mouth
