Avalanche looms overhead
Airplane flies overhead Important man sits by the window Sucked out of the first class window Images run by, a thousand miles an hour But the time seems far away Folding clothes in a folding closet Folding money in your resume It's time to let off some pressure It's time to let off some steam All your notebooks get thrown away And you start your diary clean Crystal glass lined up in a row Watched over by the G.I. Joes Sugar in your coffee doesn't taste quite right Feeling the effects for a hundred thousand nights When civilization falls in its grave Technology throws on the dirt You realize the finest things in life Are the ones that can never be hurt Time to let off some pressure Time to let off some steam All your notebooks get thrown away You start your diary clean Crystal glass lined up in a row Watched over by the G.I. Joes Sugar in your coffee doesn't taste quite right Feeling the effects for a hundred thousand nights Shatters your brain It shatters your brain Shatters your brain It shatters your brain Shatters your brain in a million tiny pieces The sounds you hear aren't coming out right You think it might be mystic, you think I might be cryptic The crystal in your china case is breaking in a million tiny pieces |

I'm curious to know exactly how you are
I keep my distance but that distance is too far It reassures me just to know that you're okay But I don't want you to go on needing me this way And I don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know if you are less than lonely Don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know, don't want to know The day you left me, left me feeling oh so bad Still I'm not sure about all the doubts we had From the beginning we both knew it wouldn't last Decisions have been made, the die has been cast I don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know if you are less than lonely Don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know, don't want to know The phone is ringing and the clock says four A.M. If it's your friends, well, I don't want to hear from them Please leave your number and a message at the tone Or you can just go on and leave me alone But I don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know if you are less than lonely Don't want to know if you are lonely Don't want to know, don't want to know |

Time heals, time goes on and time really flies
Time hurts and time can cut you, cut you down to size There's no need to touch you now, no, I'm doing fine Life too can cut you and I've cut you out of mine You're making me sorry Sorry somehow You're making me sorry Sorry somehow There's no need to talk to you, well, to know what's on your mind There's no need to see you either, no, I'm just being kind You want me to beg forgiveness, tender an apology It's not my fault and you're not getting one from me You're making me sorry Sorry somehow You're making me sorry Sorry somehow Now I guess it's your decision, now you decide Take me to the cleaners baby, take me for a ride Whoever cares for your affairs will sort it out for you Send me a subpoena, baby, tell me what to do You're making me sorry Sorry somehow You're making me sorry Sorry somehow I don't have to think about you, think about the past Those days stand out in my mind and those days were the last I know the time is coming and I'm waiting for the day I'd give you everything in the world just to get it out of the way You're making me sorry Sorry somehow You're making me sorry Sorry somehow |

I'm down again
And I don't know how to tell you But maybe this time I can't come back Because I might be too far down I wish for real That I could turn it on and off Like hot and cold and up and down Because I'm down again I'm too far down I couldn't begin to smile Because I can't even laugh or cry Because I just can't do it If it was so easy to be happy Why am I so down? All I can do is sit and wonder if it's going to end Or if I should just go away forever When I sit and think I wish that I just could die Or let someone else be happy By setting my own self free And you don't want the emotion Because the taste it leaves is for real But nothing's ever real until it's gone And I might be too far down And is this just another thrown away Or is this the end of the whole stupid road But you wouldn't want to know how I feel anyway Because the darkest hole is at the end of the road I'm down again And I guess I'm not the only one who dreams That there's not any way to tell you Because I might be too far down |

Twenty years ago, saw a friend was walking by
And I stopped him on the street to ask him how it went, and all he did was cry I looked him in the face, but I couldn't see past his eyes Asked him what the problem was, he says "here is your disguise" Now he's hardly getting over it Hardly getting used to getting by Now he's hardly getting over it Hardly getting used to getting by Old man lays down by the railroad tracks Got no paper in his pocket, got no paper on his back I asked him what the time was, he says "to hit the road now, Jack" Went back to see him next week, he died of a heart attack and died away Now he's hardly getting over it He's hardly getting used to getting by Now he's hardly getting over it He's hardly getting used to getting by Grandma, she got sick, she is going to die And Grandpa had a seizure, moved into a hotel cell and died away My parents, they just wonder when they both are going to die And what do I do when they die? Now I'm hardly getting over it Hardly getting used to getting by Hardly getting over it Hardly getting used to getting by |

Well, I'm standing in the queue
And I can't stand any more missing you And I can't stand the pain And I can't get home 'cause of a hurricane Dead set on destruction Dead set on destruction There's no flights home today And no services out on the motorway And I can't leave the ground And I can't find a place now to put her down Dead set on destruction Dead set on destruction The Atlantic winds are high There's only one virgin and she don't fly And they can't land the plane And they can't get home 'cause of a hurricane Dead set on destruction Dead set on destruction Dead set on destruction Dead set on destruction |

If I could change my mind, what changes would it bring?
If I could change you, well, it wouldn't change a thing So now you know and now you shouldn't be afraid Oh, no promise have I made Tell me a story, tell me just another lie Well, I can tell you set your expectations high Well, now I've faced up to you facing me betrayed Oh, no promise have I made Well, there's some green and there's some white and there's some gold But brighter colors I have left you to behold It's your good fortune there's a fortune to be paid Oh, no promise have I made |

When I was younger, worrying about it
Trying to make these decisions for myself And I go on to ask myself what's right and wrong about it And I don't really know what makes it, ask yourself Now I see you, you want to ask me I want you to ask me, I want you to ask me What does it matter? What does it mean? Sometimes I don't know why you want to try and help me I get so confused I start to fall over backwards Then I ask this to myself, and see within myself And wonder what it means, and ask these questions to myself Now I'm a little bit older And I'm not a hell of a lot wiser So I've gotta sit down and contemplate it Should I talk to the mirror, should I talk to the wall? Should I even talk at all? Would a little tiny bit of action, would it make it even seem to matter anymore? I guess it matters just to you All this I've done for you |
