You Promised You'd Die
02:21
|

|
Way back in 1995
You promised us all you would die
But now it’s much later and I
Can see that you’re still alive
In the morning when you took a bath
You thought that you needed an axe
But really you just needed a good, clean razorblade
And when you gave your money away
You thought everyone would show you love
But they just showed all of their guns
And all of the guns in the world could not take away your spirit
But they could make your heart stop beating

In My Brain
04:03
|

|
(vary from the recording, but here's the latest version):
Verse:
In my brain
It never worked out right
In my brain (down my drain)
The were no holes for light
Tried to live the rules
But I couldn't keep it down
Tried to stay in love
But there's crosses all around
Chorus:
I think that I was born that way.
(Born to betray but still full of faith)
I think that I was born that way.
Verse:
To my friends
Well, look how we’ve grown up
We’ve had our bones
But let’s not dig them up
I tried to to be so heavy
That life would turn so light
Couldn't help but see
What could happen in the night
Extra Verse:
These aren’t tears
Never cry alone
My best fears
We’re never ones I owned
I tried to twist the pipe
Tried to light the switch
And the heavy load
With an ice cream hitch

Red Horse
02:18
|
|||
|
It’s not too amazing
You look for the rest of it
If you were the right one
You would make the best of it
All these implications
And all your complications too
When you were finally down
When you were a red horse
Riding on a red horse
And if you wrap around me know
You might see I’m full of surprise
If you’re pulling up to me
Baby we could make it right
This is on the the way I was going

Grey
02:06
|
|||
|
(again, vary from recording a bit):
Gray are your blue eyes
When the sun dies
Gray like the old times
On your TV
Shame on the secrets
For existing
Shades of the storm clouds
You were wishing for
Gray lights lead the way
Pray for grayer days
Exploding on beaches
In the summer
Sending us each when
Time is still
Steathily creeping
Like a kitten
Gray is the heap in
Which old metals lay
In the sun
In the summertime
(I feel it, I feel it, too)
In the sun
In the summer time
I still feel twice as
Blue
Gray is the color
Of your blue eyes
When the sun dies
When the sun dies
Color my mind
Like the films in
Blue

Mytholove
02:25
|
|||
|
Another pause to sit around
Never take another town
See me watch you roar
This is not a lover's snare
This is all I have to spare
You see me now
You see me sober now
I still believe in myths you see
I still believe that you can fall for me
And I just wanna share these silly lines
I still believe in myths you see
I still believe you'll fall in love with me
And I just wanna hold your hand at night
Not afraid of ever being trite
Yes, I just wanna hold you in the night
Been around with love before
I've seen it be a frightening bore
Seen it slowly trickle (or trick me) over time
I can spread a joke around
Worn the crown of flirt and clown
I'm just trying to put thoughts in a line

Sitting in Shanghai
00:55
|
|||
|
City of Shanghai
Sit in the sunshine
Something just ain't right
I see my soul fly
And now it's all the same
Nothing's in my brain
(may vary from recording)

Never Say Enough
02:42
|
|||
|
You keep your dreams
Like they were rings
Never would you ever sleep enough
My plastic brain
It melts with blame
Straight on through the hands of the one
You
Never fall
This is no tune
You get my June
When you keep love in my cup
Your skin I breathe
So scared to leave
where is the will not to jump?
Will you ever fall?
You never say enough
Will you ever fall?
You never say enough
Still we wanna fall into the one
Still we just believe there is the one
Time with you's not soon enough

He thought he was a loner
He thought he could be cool
But he never saw her till he started the school
He thought he was unkind
So then he changed his mind
And he made himself something he never dreamed of
She’s the thorn in the side of a self-made man
She was a pain in the side of a self-made man
So he…
He tried to bury himself in his books
But he couldn’t get away from her catty looks
He tried to write it away
A story every day
But she kept coming out of the page
In his face
She kept coming out the page in his face
She was the thorn in the side of a self-made man

Keeping Your Distance
03:56
|
|||
|
You’re keeping your distance
You’re keeping your distance
You never threw everything away
Did you ever throw everything?
When you’re wishing that you fell
When you’re wishing that you fell
Don’t call, don’t call on me
Does it have to be so hard to keep a crush?
He’s keeping his distance
And you’re calling long distance
He’s keeping it quiet now
Like you never knew him
Does it happen often times
Does it happen often times
You throw away your angels?
Does it have to be so hard to keep a crush?

All Over Now
01:11
|
|||
|
Lazy E, what did you do today?
Did you let another moment slip away?
Lazy E, how could you be so plain
When your moods all left on the train
It’s all over now
It’s all over now
It’s all over now
And you find your sacred cow

Cutting Ties
03:18
|
|||
|
I gotta strange hunch
You're not a simple flavor
A complicated touch
The kind I'd like to savor
There's all these cities in my mind
You're always sitting in my mind, or something
There's all these cities in my mind
You're always sitting in my mind, or something
I've been saving up these ties
To cut through to you
I've been saving up these ties
To cut right through to you
On a holy hunt
For a mystic marker
Does it seem a front
If I want it darker?
There's all these colors in my mind
You're always coloring my mind, or something
There's all these colors in my mind
You're always coloring my mind, or something
I've been saving up these ties...
I won't be crying no more nights!
I won't be crying!
