Concrete Bed
The world's locked up in your head
You've been pouring in a concrete bed
Your habits ossify
You don't realise you're fried
So fried
To find someone you love, you gotta be someone
you love (x2)
The reason's somewhere in the din
But it takes 'till it sinks in
You used up the easy streets
And you lost your taste for treats
You're so fried
To find someone you love, you gotta be someone
you love (x2)
For someone to be enough, you gotta call your own bluff
To find someone you love, you gotta be someone you love
(x3)
Do It Again
Well I'd snap to attention if I thought that
you knew the way
I'd open my mouth if I had something smart to say
I bought a stack of books, I didn't read a thing
It's like I'm sitting here waiting for birds to sing
Let's do it again
Come on, let's do it again
Please, let's do it again
Come on, let's do it again
The hum of the clock is a far away place
The azalea air holding your face
You're lying down and the moon is sideways ( *** cold that
never gets old)
It's like I'm sitting here waiting for birds to sing
I spend all my energy staying upright
And I like the masking noise quiet of your breathing nearby
Let's do it again
Come on, let's do it again
Please, let's do it again
Come on, let's do it again
I want your lazy science, I want some peace
Are you the future? Show me the keys
I spend all my energy walking upright
I like the masking noise quiet of your breathing nearby
When I accelerate I remember why it's good to be alive
Like a 25-cent game
Maybe this weight was a gift
Like I had to see what I could lift
I spend all my energy walking upright
Always Love
To make a mountain of
Your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Don't wait 'til the finish line
Slow demands come round
Squeeze the air and and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out
Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Even when you want to fight
Self-directed lives
I want to know what it'd be like to
Aim so high above
Any card that you got dealt you
Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Hate will get you
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said
Hey you good ones
Hey you good ones
To make a mountain of
Your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love
Hate will get you everytime
Always love
Hate will get you
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
I've been held back by something
Yeah
You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said
Hey you good ones
Hey you good ones
Hey you good ones
What Is Your Secret?
So we sat and talked
And then we walked and talked
Tought it was the truth
What is your secret?
Dragged it on and on
Even favorite songs
But your division's wrong
What is your secret?
I don't care about you anymore
The people got tired
Our movies don't play much anymore
The actress was fired
You said you were yourself
Not being someone else
That this was new for you
What is your secret?
You said just what i said
Like it came from your head
So why's the needle pegged?
What is your secret?
I don't care about you anymore
People got tired of
Our movies don't play much anymore
The actress was fired
I don't think about you
I try not to think about you
You want to control
You want to be controlled
You're like a little switch
And then you take your toll
Your every reckless twist
I wasn't made for this
Thank god that life is so long
And the city's so big
Your Legs Grow
If you were here
baby we'd increase the dose
there was no fear
in my room when we got close
call me anytime you've got a ghost
you're the only person in the world
i feel that way about
and if you move off to the side
i'll get swept back out
where it's cold but not that deep
cos your legs grow
cold but not that deep
cos your legs grow
there's a lot that rises up
from the bottom of the lake
and its beam has hit me hard
now i'm wide awake
where it's cold but not that deep
cos your legs grow
cold but not that deep
cos your legs grow
if you were here
baby we'd increase the dose
there was no fear
in my room when we got close
call me anytime you've got a ghost
All Is a Game
do you wake up and lie there
and think it through?
is the weight of your own life
too much for you?
well
[it all is a game, yeah
you forgot to play
you did ]x2
woke up and hour after the clock
remembered the details
and wanted to stop
the stakes in my life
are going so far up
that my fingers are like
haven't you had enough
but first i gotta find money
i gotta get lunch
tell me something funny
coz i'm cracking up
and later when i see stars
i'll know i'm alright
i go scary far
from the dark to the light
but
[it all is a game, yeah
you forgot to play
you did ]x2
the stove is open coz it's cold
got a stack of posessions to be sold
there's a hallway to a doorway
to a room that you're in
and in there all day
the walls are you say
the sky's whatever you say
[it all is a game, yeah
you forgot to play
you did]x4
Blankest Year
Ah, the hell with it...
I'm gonna have a party [x2]
I had the blankest year
I saw life turn into a T.V. show
It was totally weird
The person I knew I didn't really know
Time don't remove
We're the only ones who do
Bendin' reason
'Cause its all we hold on to
I had the blankest year
I saw life turn into a T.V. show
It was totally weird
The person I knew I didn't really know
And I was lonely
They got the best and went
But you're only
I'd like to return this spell
'Cause it's not my size
And your lies are so much bigger than my lies
And your ties are made of things that shouldn't be ties
Ah, fuck it (fuck it)
I'm gonna have a party [x3]
Comes a Time
Comes a time when,
You can't judge nomore
Go outside, babe
Can't see the storm
I can't believe that
We're really all good
One of us has gone,
They never should..
Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh..
Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh..
Comes a time when
You really can't judge,
You should go walking
You don't even budge,
I can't believe how
Far we have gone
One of us has none
Now come along,
Get up and tell the sun
That you don't feel loved
Get up and tell the sun
That you don't feel loved
Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh..
Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh..
How long can you
Keep circling round'
Like paris texus
'til she found out
Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh..
Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh..
Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh..
In the Mirror
I look in the mirror
To see what my hair is doing
Is it kind of skywalker
Or is it kind of stupid?
But that's not the real
Reason i'm looking
I need a reminder
Of what i'm doing
I need a reminder
That i'm human
In my dreams i look through a
Snowstorm in the night
The windows open wide
Here comes your septic lie
Keep the covers up
We betted all our love
But two dreams have been damaged in life
When you need so much you can't get it right
Who else is here today
All the lonely can't obey
Swim on my back at night
Near my clothes with a flashlight
I look in the mirror
Why i'm i complicated
Try to see clearer
The sun has faded
In my dreams i look through a
Snowstorm in the night
The windows open wide
Here comes your frantic lie
But two dreams have been damaged in life
When you need so much you can't get it right
Who else is here today
All the lonely can't obey
Swim on my back at night
Near my clothes with a flashlight
I look in the mirror
I look in the mirror
Armies Walk
I was about to change
But you stay the same
I was about to change
But you stay the same
I was about to change
But you stay the same
I was about to change
Make ???? somebody else
????
Can't foresee it ends ???
Armies Walk, listen to me
Armies Walk, listen to me
I was about to change
But you stay the same
I was about to change
But you stay the same
I was about to change
Woohoo
But you stay the same
I dreamt that we woke up
You've gotta miss ???
???
???
Armies Walk, listen to me
Armies Walk, listen to me
Imaginary Friends
Hey, calling all imaginary friends!
Today, don't want no one to tell me how it ends
Took breathing for granted
and now i don't know how to breathe
something that you planted
just won't get up and leave
Hey, i'm bewildered and writing myself notes
Say if you fake happiness then no one knows
Convince yourself
and then you've got it made
There'll be no black of night,
just the turned out lights
You only get to play one time
Lenny Bruce 's bug eyes stare from a LP
Asking me just what kind
of fight i got in me
I harbored some ambition
to turn it up like that
I already had roadblocks so
Why'd you have to cheat?
It's a long story I'll tell you later
And now the sky looks like Turner
From specifics to the dawn
i've got so many backburners
that keep on.
You laughed out loud about someone who
couldn't get their shit together
I laughed along, ha-ha
I almost wish you knew me better
Hey, calling all imaginary friends!
