Deeper well

if i fell down a big hole
would you tell
how do you know
it's a deepening well
like the big o
i know it's a bad scene to be whole
it's a bad dream i hope
marie
to feel
they're following me

if i painted a tear
would you figure it out
would it make matters clear
would it shed some doubt
it's been happening for years
it's a roundabout
pull back from the front
there's a bigger gap than you thought
a bigger trap in which to be caught
i've got to get away from the bricks
all these straight lines are making me sick


 

The plan

there's a way to drive, i see it once in a while
i watch the tail-lights and memorize
i won't be too scared, i won't be too tired
i'm becoming hard-wired

feeling hazy, waking up inertia
i'm having dreams i'm in the wrong picture
am i older than you thought
did you get less than you bought
dan you wanna roast it dan
we're gonna kick it in the head if we can
me i'm just, me i'm just, i never got to read the plan

dan you wanna roast it dan
you know i never know the right way around
i need a map, i need a map
i need a map to get us out of this town

now your hand is flashing danger
i'm underdressed and you're getting stranger
i can't tell you i'm incomplete
you're gonna step on me

right:

no i don't care, i mean hey, i got Penny
there comes a time in every girl's life when she's truely gotta ask
herself (you've gotta decide) is she ready, to be going steady? don't faint
dead away but i honestly believe that one month should be enough. 
well, first of all, let's say you've dated johnny a few times and one day johnny
asked you to be his steady. if you decide to... 

left:

no i don't care, i mean hey, i got Penny
there comes a time in every girls life when she's gotta ask herself
sometimes sometimes you just ask yourself, steady or not
i mean, do you wanna be johnny's steady
don't faint dead away
but i honestly believe that one month should be just about enough
well, first of all, let's say you've
dated a boy named johnny a few times and one day johnny asked you to be his
steady...

three important rules for breaking up
don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
prolonging the situation only makes it worse
tell him honestly, simply, kindly but firmly
don't make a big production
don't make up an ellaborate story
this will help you avoid a tear jerking scene
if you want to date other people, say so
be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
even if you only gone together for a short time
and haven't been too serious
there's still a feeling of rejection when someone says she prefers
the company of others to your exclusive company
but if you're honest and direct and avoid making
a flaridy emotional speech
when you break the news
the boy will respect you for your frankness
and honestly, he'll appreciate the kind of straight-forward manner
in which you told him your decision
unless he's a real jerk or crybaby, you'll remain friends

i'm head of the class, i'm popular
i'm a quarterback, i'm popular
my mom says i'm a catch, i'm popular
i'm never last picked, i'm a cheerleading chick

being attractive is the most important thing there is
if you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond,
you have to be as attractive as possible
make sure to keep your hair spotlessly clean
wash it atleast every two weeks,
once every two weeks
and if you see johnny football hero in the hall
tell him he played a great game
tell him you liked his article in the newspaper

i'm the party star, i'm popular
i got my own car, i'm popular
i'll never get caught, i'm popular
i'm the teacher's pet, i make football bets

i propose we support a one-month-limit on going steady
i think it will keep people more able to deal with weird situations
and get to know more people
i think if you're ready to go out with johnny
now's the time to tell him about your one-month limit
he won't mind, he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating
and once you dated someone else, you can date him again
i'm sure he'll like it, everyone will appreciate it
you're so novel, what a good idea
you can keep your time to yourself, you don't need a date insurance
you can go out with whoever you want to
every boy, every boy in the whole world could be yours
if you just listen to my plan, the teenage guide to popularity!

i'm head of the class, i'm popular

Sleep

step in my shoes, wait 'til you see the big flash now
glued to the sheets, sleep with the sheep all month long
easy to please, hard to believe it's a tease
stuck in a rut, don't give a fuck if we're us
lie in a haze, hope it's a phase and not hate
you know that i know that you know that i know that you know
i want you to kiss me

i try to open my eyes to the days going by
but the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized
i'm hypnotized
i got the poison in me but it's amplified
no TV


Stalemate

stalemate when do i jump out of the cake
stalemate when do we admit it's a fake
stalemate when do we jump out of the cake

i'm the nervous watcher
and i watch
time to turn it on
but i turn it off
70% of the time i watch 
useless and over the line
stuck

stalemate
jailbreak
when do we admit it's not safe
it's not safe in a jail
it's not safe in a safe
should have been a wreck
might have been a wreck
i don't know how it can last
i don't know why it doesn't crash
stalemate
when do i jump out of the cake


 

Treehouse

i can see the things she does for me
i'm living in a treehouse
i live in constant fear
awakening must be near
i'm sleeping in a dreamhouse

a tine in the fork in the road is pointing to heaven
but the sky is old
a tine in the fork in the road is pointing at nothing
cause it's all been sold

i live with you
to die in a jamais vu
i love you
but this isn't true


   

Icebox

stay until You're sure that i'm asleep
warm safe and very still give all my things away
just wait until tomorrow
every afternoon
i wasted being mad at You

the things i never said the things i can't say tomorrow
after death i'll think of You somehow
i'll have an eternity to think about tomorrow

i beg of You tomorrow bury me in sorrow cover me in joy


Psychic caramel

take a look at what's been done 
the killing wound is the thousandth cut
a dead turtle on the beach puts my happiness out of reach
sea sun sand self
sea sun sand

psychic caramel dimulants they're good for the undertow
better than a psychotic stimulant
word to your mother you know
but it's a drag you know sometimes
and it drags
sea sun sand self
sea sun sand

we will always be the sea
years will be i, you will see
now i finally understand the Mother's belly is here with me
sea sun sand self
sea sun sand

i'm going deaf and peaceful, i'm going for a walk
the times i have the most to say are the times that i can't talk
psychic caramel dimulants
they're good for the undertow
better than a psychotic stimulant
word to your mother you know
but it's a drag you know sometimes
and it drags
sea sun sand self
sea sun sand


Hollywood

been trying to be cool ever since high school
cool like the stars and sexy people in bars
the stars will fall they'll line up in the hall
may sound nice, but it's ugly inside
i lost all my pride
taken apart
one more false start
how do you think we're gonna do this time around
you're the queen of sound
been trying to hear something complete
no microtones and no backbeat


Zen brain

i'm going from strange to stranger
every year
it's going from strange to stranger
every year

i take it back
you're panicking
i take it back
i just don't know
i really thought i wanted to go
but when you're close
you look through me just like a ghost
i like sleeping
i'm only safe when i'm dreaming
i need a new heart
this one's hollow always scheming
you wait for summer
and then you wait for winter
but there's a total lack of splendor

zen brain
throw away your crushes
all your childhood crutches away
super brain
never scared of nothing
violence or loving my way
 


Telescope

i think i lost some years, sometimes i don't know how
i forget to remember now
you used to tell me things that you were thinking
now we don't even talk, that's what i'm thinking
let's have a day outside for the lonely
they're gonna cry tonight

i've got some stuff in a box, maybe i'll show you sometime
but the box would think that was unwise
some days the view from here, it means nothing
i woke up with the fear again this morning
let's have a day outside in the sun
play around and have a lot of fun
we've got some telescopes in our hands
just try to keep them pointed at the land
let's have a day outside tonight

i've been distracted from the things that i wanna do
i've been distracted from the way i wanna be for you


Sea knows when

shy of blue getting through
dodging pain from me and you
it's my cave, my last ideal
to put the bed out in the hall

we're diving now
we're plotting charts and finding faults
we're making lists
down in the vaults

i have no angel to watch me fall
sky of blue and i told you
that i don't know how i should do
i wrote it down, i threw it out
now i find i'm left without
and the sea knows when it's going to end


 

Everybody lies

everybody lies
everybody all the time
i lie to go to sleep when all is wrong or right

most of it's not there
everything and everywhere
i lie about you and me too
but it's alright

everybody lies
make the wrong right
     


Nothing

i didn't do anything today
lazyhead
i didn't do anything today
stay in bed

i'm finally doing what i said i'd never do
i'm doing nothing
i'm doing it for you
and you will admire the ultimate courage
when i throw everything right in the garbage for you

i didn't say anything today
nothing said
i didn't think anything today
emptyhead
i'm finally doing what i said i'd never do
i'm saying nothing i'm saying it at you
and i will get helpers
i'm recruiting them now
i'll show them nothing to do i will show them how
and we will do nothing
we'll do it together
i don't care when we get through
we'll do it forever for you


Pressure free

i would love to be pressure free
from the weight of nothing that bears down on me
how can i assimilate two thousand years
when i can't even deal with everyday fears

i've been married and i've been a slut
and in the middle of both i said so what
gotta stop thinking like a shrink
gotta listen to my own promises
wake up you, there's nothing more
what do you think you're waiting for
but if i'm waiting for nothing, then what am i doing?

don't you ever do what i did
listen to the TV
listen to the other kids
now at stage one i'm still tying my shoes
all the time i'm missing hints
all the time i'm dropping clues
