Down came the sky
And all you did was blink I would cry like I never do In order to stay true But everybody has their own opinion on such They're all much alike alike alike One hundred of a million is worth penning dead down So why am I writing to the moon? Down came the sky to whack us to attack While we cried in-between our cheeks I was red and bleak We often joke it's over but it's never enough I take it you are afraid afraid of everything I am and of some things I am not A fear I share before I go to bed When tears are pretzels pouring down each time the sweetness is returning at times when you appreciate that you survived Tricks tend to track you down Even when you're high It's the reason they made it all easier You'll never know the hit Tricks they track you down Tricks they track you down Down came the sky And everything went black I saw you, you saw me And you were naked, which was weird But in that space in time we played the strangers again In oceans of oh I see I see When my words lost their meaning on their way to your door yours lost their way out of your I don't want to want you to go But I think you've left me without options Things that you should know by now That I never told Tricks tend to track you down Even when you're high It's the reason they made it all easier You'll never know the hit Tricks they track you down Tricks they track you down |

If that's a tear I see
If it's because of me Then I may well have to tell you what I would do But to play is easier than to set the groove And to think is more simple than changing the mood Is it more, is it less? What's that thing on your chest? Won't you whisper your blues as heartfelt as you can? Meet me halfway By the bedrock On the tower If I translate you wrong when I complete your song That would be my two feet stumbling ahead of me I could tell you the tricks that I think hurt you best About the house packed with people and their loneliness But the hour is so late Take some weight off your chest Let's just pray for our fates and then give it a rest Meet me halfway By the bedrock On the tower Go get yourself up straight I'll throw a melody That is as serious as it is simple On the tower On the tower On the tower Meet me halfway By the bedrock On the tower |

Ma
All the other options that you had in mind stun me 'Cause I'm optionless and turkey-free and blind Pa Won't you listen and I'll let you in on this Blind me Won't you listen and I'll reduce advice to dust Oh no I shouldn't have to spell my name Ma If it's worth the made up smiles, the quiet fights Oh, mother It is hard not to look in the mirror's eye I have come to this while you have come along So it's alright if you change your mind the other way around again I shouldn't have to spell my name So start the two way monologues that speak your mind We're talking two way monologues with words that rhyme We We can't reclaim the shirts we threw away last twirl Uncurl the note-in-pocket, personal brochures that dust Machine-washed, that's how paper rusts Days you spend wanting some of Michael Landon's grace strike back, now they shape your life as stony as his face Oh no I shouldn't have to spell his name So start the two way monologues that speak your mind We're talking two way monologues with words that rhyme Start the two way monologues that speak your mind We're talking two way monologues We were chasing rabbits on the hill Oh that prairie-life was great, but never real 'Cause we never saw no rabbits out there, ever, no, not once All we did was put a fire up and watch it burn for months I miss the sound of stairs and walls and maladjusted doors and too little space for holding all the soldiers and the war Start the two way monologues that speak your mind Start the two way monologues that speak your mind We're talking two way monologues |

One hundred thousand cars have passed this house
The celebration starts with laughter Can it be that we're not clean? The days have turned to haze Tell me how we should have lied to keep away this space To keep from snowing in Keep from lingering Keep our worlds apart When it come to letting go Let the quicksand flow When I write it in the sand There is something wrong Days that are over Will not continue to last If you try to construct the past I leave the heat on to leave a trace of all the things the air was filled with All the things I never knew and all the words I know Now they all come out too late for you to realize Satisfy my luck This director's cut doesn't spare an inch I have never seen this place and no surrounding walls As the party turns to dust they all understand Days that are over Will not continue to last If you try to construct the past |

Wet ground and the snow is still not falling
Circumstances are alarming, darling The future's just a word, that's how I recall it The past is much more present in our yawning But I heard you right Something was lost from the start Oh babe, what should we do, what should we say? Should we give it away? The future looked so bright then What happened tonight? Now aeroplanes are crashing Who turned out the light? Seemingly, it seems to me, I'm subject to a joke And it's not a test It's not a test Wet ground and the stars are still out shining Neon lights were never oh so blinding Prosecute the ones who stand accused and Let the others go and leave them dying But I heard you right Everything was here before We shouldn't add or put away a thing Let nobody win The future looked so bright then What happened tonight? Now aeroplanes are crashing Who turned out the light? Seemingly, it seems to me, I'm subject to a joke It's not a sin It's not a sin |

You could be sad but never torn
You saw the light when it was on You never turned or looked away Your eyes were focused, mine were grey Your sentences were concentrated You made your points so understated Where I would mumble, you would say Your eyes were focused, mine were grey I made up conversations with my symbolic language Saying everybody wants to be like you But I'd rather fall in love with you You got the picture from the start You saw right through me in the dark You saw that I couldn't behave with eyes so focused, yet so frail I chose you from a million You were the choice of billions wishing they would try to be like you But I'd rather fall in love with you Ba-ba-ba baa-ba... You questioned men and called them whores But you would never burn your bras You held your head up in the rain Your eyes were focused, mine were grey You had relationships that worked and yet experience with jerks So well adjusted, but with charm Your eyes were focused and yet calm I'm fairly realistic But my thoughts are out of lip-sync when I say that I'm not one of those who pass you by and fall in love with you who pass you by and fall in love with you who pass you by and fall in love with you I'll pass you by and fall in love with you Ba-ba-ba baa-ba... |

It's not over at all
You're just trying to smile I know perfectly well Such are things we both know and we think we should say just to organize the stains Systems reveal their construction these days as we escape to drift further away We know the stars go out one night but I can't tell you anything you wouldn't know So nothing has been lost It's not over at all If my thoughts could be here they'd advise you to leave It's not easy, I know making hard things look small But we're dying to try You have revealed your conclusion by chance I have replaced you at little expense We know the stars go out one night but I can't think of anything I haven't told Still, nothing has been lost When you could use the words reserved for a sad song You'll find you've spent them up on God and everyone Like anyone before It's not over at all You're just trying to smile I know perfectly well It's not over but oh, if my thoughts could be here They'd advise you to leave We will be cold where the lights are all out but at least we can think without reason or doubt I don't know much about this world but I can tell you one thing as I pass you by Nothing has been lost |

All alone in pink
All the carpets fade to grey Amplifiers burst out the deal that I have made What's there to say I cannot say by myself? Thinking about writing it down seems pretentious And helplessness may be the word they nail to my name In a while Stupid memory Must you bring up these things? Stupid memory Can I forget all of that? All of that crap All embarrassment In addition to the talk In each crowded court there's a spot where I fall in love and short on public demand There are no words they can't hear Stupid memory Must you bring up these things? Stupid memory Can I forget all of that? All of that crap I think I forced a smile upon her mouth I know I dreamt that, hollowness aside everyone's a winner if the stadium is right But rarely anything good comes out Oh yo! Memory! Must you bring up these things? Only stupid words Make me forget all of that Stupid memory Can I forget all that crap? Stupid memory Can I forget all of that? |

Let it go, everyone's bound to know that I've lost you again
This time you wound up with someone else Your own will let me down Put your arms around me for the first and last time and say sincerely that you'll keep me in mind 'Cause time won't wait 'till it's too late to find out who you were If you had let me make one honest mistake I'd try to change your mind I try to set an example for all of those who blame their luck You seem to know where you're heading now I know this and that's not much Tell me all the things that you never dared to say Say you're glad you told me that he isn't going to stay 'Cause time won't wait 'till it's too late to find out who you were If you had let me make one honest mistake I'd try to change your mind We've sent letters out there but you don't care You know you'll manage alone We've sent letters to you They never get through 'Cause you'll get by on your own If you are to change your mind Don't think I'll forget where I have been I'll stay 'till this torment's over and I know not where I'm going Make It Easy On Me Please I have no choice but to let it go 'though I know you'll still be here But I'll never know you the way he does Let me know if I will 'Cause time won't wait 'till it's too late to find out who you were If you had let me make one honest mistake I'd try to change your mind We've sent letters out there but you don't care You know you'll manage alone We've sent letters to you They never get through 'Cause you'll get by on your own |

I was floating on a stream
Words came easy as the seemed And as conversations go I let this one go off enough Tonight I'll just sit here on my back When you're applauding your fine mind Darker corners come to shine The quality control I run The filters that I use What I've forgotten.is now forgotten What I've forgotten.is now forgotten But I think you're in my soul And it warms me to know that you'll still be in charge of the heart's content It's our job It's our job to breathe Yes it warms me to know that I'll still be in charge of your heart's content It's our job It's our job to breathe |

You have been waiting all your life
You use your patience to stay fine Time moves on as you prepare to tell yourself be reasonable Then come the times you can't foresee you cannot leave, you can't release to keep you far from those dreams Ignoring the right times Oh, waiting was my life For now it's too late for you may not wait and things that I have yet to know vanish before they're complete I may turn around to see if you're still there but as for now, it's just not safe Maybe you'll wait for me Maybe you're gone You've been preparing all your life You've had some trouble getting it right And you try to tell yourself it may work, as it should But something good can do much harm The good may kill for your embrace to keep you far from those dreams you know you cannot dream I'm stuck for now, it seems |
