beneath me
its not easy
but i try to get to sleep
and i'll tell you the end
of the story if i want
well i slide down
between the seats
where your unwanted change
and dust retreats to
well i slide down
and my heart gets caught
now i slide down
and my heart gets caught
and i try to get this down
and i try to get to sleep
and i try to get this down
and i try to get to sleep
ribbon
my path is a wide ribbon
each bow cuts a circle into it
its clearance you're not given
given 'til you're through with it
my path is a wide ribbon
it's mapped out but it's all even
and this power is self given
and it's clear and it's bright and it's thick
and it's without
without edges
when will everything be quiet?
when will everything be quiet?
when will our fucking hearts cease to riot?
when will everything be quiet again?
each bow cuts a circle into it
?the inside sometimes full of ???
and it's easy for people to read things into these
shattered wings, but who knows
who knows really?
when everything will be quiet?
when everything will be quiet?
when our fucking hearts will cease to riot?
when everything will be quiet again?
foolish
it would be nice to breathe
[it would be] nice to breathe
[it would be] be nice to [leave] sometimes
nail the windows shut
leave on the [heat]
we have bowls to burn up and back
it would be nice to breathe
it would be nice to leave sometimes
i remember miami beach
i remember you under the umbrella
i remember dc
i remember you with your bicycles
it would be nice to leave
it would be nice to breathe sometimes
it would be nice to leave
it would be nice to bring it all back
unfold the map again and drive
take 40
take 95
it'd be nice to leave
it'd be nice to breathe sometimes
i remember our lies
i remember the liquor i helped you buy
i remember no lights
i remember you with your glasses off
i remember tv
i remember the couch sucking me in
i remember dc
i remember wanting you to laugh again
i remember how foolish i was
it would be nice to breathe
it would be nice to leave sometimes

fireflies
i have a mandolin
i play it all night long
it makes we want to kill myself
i also have a dobro
made in some mountain range
seems like a mountain range in love
but when i turn up the tone
on my electric guitar
i'm afraid of the dark
without you close to me
i went out in the forest and caught
100,00 fireflies
as they ricochet round my room
they remind me of your starry eyes
someone else might not
have made this so sad
but this is the worst night
i've ever had
cause i'm afraid of the dark
without you close to me
you won't be happy with me
give me one more chance
you won't be happy anyway
why do we still live here
in this repulsive town
all our friends are in new york
why do we keep shreiking
when we mean soft things
we should be whispering all the time
invitation
the way i told you
i never thought you'd believe me
and you took my offer
and doubled it back [above me]
and now it

expect you
decision
pull her tightly]
never said the same thing
but they don't mean the same thing
please accept this invitation
please do not accept this invitation
please do not accept this invitation
please accept this invitation
and we will have our little scene
set it up with lots of cameras
for one minute we will be
just for the sake of being
and then we'll try hard to forget it
please accept this invitation
please do not accept this invitation
please do not accept this invitation
please accept this invitation

into the room
it's gray
it's covered with flowers
he keeps his golden cup
he makes jewelry for his daughter
he's always happy about something
he hands the drill to his son
and he says go to it
he's collected his share of pain
and he puts you through it
he hands the drill to his son
and he tightens the soder
he keeps his golden cup
he makes jewelry for his daughter
he's always happy about something
he hands the drill to his son
and he says go to it
he's collected his share of pain
when he puts you through it
and he puts you through it

try my best waste my time
yeah all that i do more or less
is for some womans sake
thoughts of a maniac
saturday is lying in state
your cigarettes burned down
and your eyes avoid mine
yeah youre sitting praying hoping waiting
putting on your pained today face
you dont talk and whats worse
you take the car keys out of your purse
well did you see too much
or did you shoot the horse
and then close the gate
thoughtless minds that taverns find
saturday is lying in state
throwing
things
i'm blowing up the street
like a leaf
i skinned my back
a few times, you'll see
head over heels
my hand's on my heart
i'm making a promise
and that's a start
you're leaving a trail for me
i see you up in the tallest tree
you're throwing things down at me
i'm starting to climb
well i'm starting on my knees
somewhere along the way
the dusk it turns back into day
the sky is orange
the trees lie down against it
you're leaving a trail for me
i see you up in the tallest tree
you're throwing things down at me
i'm starting to climb

night
of chill blue
sitting watching clouds go by
falling across a very wide sky
its the night of the chill blue
and i'd like to say how I love you
but it's all been said in other songs
and if i try to say it new
then i'll say it wrong
so I think of you, the only one
i wish that it was just us two
but it's you and me and us - that's three
twinkling stars over foreign lands
silent camel train on desert sands.
Its the night of the chill blue
and I hope to god you feel this too.
forged
it
lie on down is a retail [trip]
i don't want it and you won't take me
got the handle when i smoke
got the handle voices in me
got my answers at home
got my answers from the voices in me
lay me down down with your [thing]
lay me down, well i wish you would
and i forged that mostly
and i forded it all
what's the point of the race?
color blind i had to survive
selling my good taste
take me home and i'm doing fine
and i forged that mostly
and i forged it all
you never figured it out
can't turn me off that way
and i forged it mostly
and i forged it all
home
at dawn
turned over and spun around
take me back you've got it down
reciting lines out of a book
who wrote it? i forgot to look
i tried to grab a bunch
but there was only one
i tried to crawl away
but gravity made me run
i tried to resist
i tried to resist
you held me by the arm
i tried to make a list
but there was only one
two hours of sleep
think that's enough
straining my eyes to see
to find my stuff
i'll leave you sleeping
turn off the light when i'm leaving
i tried to grab a bunch
but there was only one
i tried to crawl away
but sudden words make me run
i tried to resist
i tried to resist
i end up walking home at dawn
i tried to make a list
but there was only one
precision
auto
have you got a minute?
can you fit me into it?
have you got a minute?
have you got a year?
have you got a year?
have you lost your sight?
have you lost your strength
just to prove your might?
chorus
do not pass me just to slow down
i can move right through you
do not pass me just to slow down
i have precision auto
i see you way too slow
i see you in slow motion
you've got muscles--use them
do not hand me a chapter
do not hand me a story
i will only lose them
chorus
