Life is bigger
It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm Choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool Oh no I've said too much I set it up Consider this The hint of the century Consider this The slip that brought me To my knees failed What if all these fantasies Come flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream |

This here is the place I will be staying.
There isn't a number. You can call the pay phone. Let it ring a long, long, long, long time. If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more. If I don't pick up, pick up... The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. There are scratches all around the coin slot Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up, But this machine can only swallow money. You can't lay a patch by computer design. It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs. Tell her, Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding. That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me. Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial. A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice, A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of Doctor Seuss; Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way, Always had a smile and a reason to pretend. But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream. The sidewinder sleeps on his back. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her. Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her. I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her. I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her. |

When the day is long and the night,
the night is yours alone, When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on. Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes. Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along. When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on) If you feel like letting go, (hold on) When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on. Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends. Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand. If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long, When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on. Well, everybody hurts sometimes, Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes. And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.

I've found a way to make you smile
I've found a way A way to make you smile I read bad poetry Into your machine. I save your messages Just to hear your voice. You always listen carefully To awkward rhymes. You always say your name, Like I wouldn't know it's you, At your most beautiful. I've found a way to make you smile I've found a way A way to make you smile At my most beautiful I count your eyelashes, secretly. With every one, whisper I love you. I let you sleep. I know you're closed eye watching me, Listening. I though I saw a smile. I've found a way to make you smile I've found a way A way to make you smile |

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago, Turned around backwards so the windshield shows. Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse. Still, it's so much clearer. I forgot my shirt at the water's edge. The moon is low tonight. Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. I'm not sure all these people understand. It's not like years ago, The fear of getting caught, Of recklessness and water. They cannot see me naked. These things, they go away, Replaced by everyday. Nightswimming, remembering that night. September's coming soon. I'm pining for the moon. And what if there were two Side by side in orbit Around the fairest sun? That bright, tight forever drum Could not describe nightswimming. You, I thought I knew you. You I cannot judge. You, I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly underneath my breath. Nightswimming. The photograph reflects, Every streetlight a reminder. Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night. |

Chance, chance, chance, chance.
Friday bank card, yours got stuck I loaned you a phone quarter, said good luck Where are you now? Me and glasses, Saturday slump You and your shopping, I looked up Our eyes met, mine are green You'd had a peroxide thing Call now, look me up. Sunday walk, Weaver's Park, I was on the lakeside Where the playgrounds meet In bare feet You said, "Mighty cold today" You never see what I think You didn't like your daytime job I was born to travel You were a camera, I dropped my keys I'm on the northbound, you were asleep I said, "Are you holding?" "You wanna ride the silent sky?" I wrote a story on the fly You on the tabletop I said, "I've had enough of the city." I held a bag of apples You at the last table I had had a soy dog Cafe streetside, Tuesday bloom You wanna be on fire, I said I hung the moon Wednesday grocery, corner of Vine, You were in the checkout line I dropped my frozen dinners, you helped pick them up. Thursday cab rush, our block, You with broken accent, my heart stopped You laughed, I worry Chance, chance, chance, chance. Swarming like a dozen crushing blows All those glances, midtime dances Chance I never looked it up You hit the sidewalk talking I said, "I read the ads" Do you? Where are you? Will you read this? Can I see? This is surely moving faster than I can think. A minute shy, a passing eye I know I saw you there Will you read this? Can I see? What did I see? Chance, chance, chance, chance. Swimming like a dozen crushing blows All those midtime dances Chance (Guys, this is very tedious...stop!) |

Dreams come three for the price of one
Nothing's free but guaranteed for a lifetime's use have changed our lives And you can have one You, you know the other two The brakes have worn so thin that you can hear I hear them screeching through the door from our driveway Hey love, look into your long lost heart, letters there from me in time, as love is sired, I've changed the locks, have I misplaced you? Have we lost our minds Will this never end? It could depend on your take You, me, we used to be on fire If keys are all that stand between Can I throw in the wind the gasoline Just fuck me kitten You are wild and I'm in your possesion Nothing's free, so fuck me kitten I'm in your possesion So fuck me kitten |

Nothing could be bring me closer
Nothing could be bring me near Where is the road I follow? Believing, leave It's under, under, under my feet The scene spread out there before me Better I go where the land touches the sea There is my trust in what I believe [Chorus:] That's what keeps me, That's what keeps me, That's what keeps me down, To leave it, believe it, Leave it all behind Shifting the dream Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time Shifting the dream Charging the scene I know where I marked the signs Suffer the dreams of a world gone mad I like it like that and I know it I know it well, ugly and sweet A temperament who said believe in his dream That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down I set it on there lightly I sent it off in an airplane That never left the ground [Chorus] Lift me, lift me, I attain my dream I lost myself, I lost them Heartache calling me I lost myself in sorrow I lost myself in pain I lost myself in gravity, Memory, leave, leave, leave [Chorus:Repeat x2] Midnight hands, my eyes are still I walk into the scene Shoot myself in a different place Leavin' Longed for this to take me, Longed for my release Waited for the coming Leavin', leave Leave, leave Leavin', leavin' Leavin', leave |

The concrete broke your fall
To hear you speak of it I'd have done anything I would do anything I feel like a cartoon brick wall To hear you speak of it You've been so sad It makes me worry Why not smile? You've been sad for a while. Why not smile? I would do anything To hear you speak of it. Why not smile? You've been sad for a while. You've been sad for a while. |

grounded, 5 a.m.
the nitelite is comforting, but gravity is holding you. once settled into sleep you have watched, on repeat, the story of your life across the ceiling; and in review, you?ve said the air was singing it?s calling you you don?t believe these things you?ve never seen "good morning, and how are you? the weather?s fine, the sky is blue- it?s perfect for our seminar..." "now close your eyes, and start to breathe, allow the noise to recede... ...allow yourself to drift and fly away." but you just stay. You?ve said the air was singing it?s calling you you don?t believe these things you?ve never seen, never dreamed did you hear these voices callling locked into the conference room, "we?re only what our minds assume..." and rationale is leaving you. this conceit, these systems of belief, your counselor agrees, "you?ve always marked these boundaries, now you?re free..." and with relief. you?ve said the air was singing it?s calling you you don?t believe these things you?ve never seen, never heard, never dreamed you?ve said the air was singing it?s calling you you don?t believe these things you?ve never seen never, never, never. once you had a dream of oceans, and sulken cities; memories of things you?ve never known and you have never known |

The sun reflected in the back of my eye
I knocked my head against the sky The dragonflies are busy buzzing me A seahorse as if we were in the sea Half way from coal Half way from diamond My fall knocked a mean chip out of me Gathering as far as I can reach Perched up on a precipice And this is what I've seen This is all I want, It's all I need This is all I am This is all I want, It's all I need A bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree Doctorate in science and a theologians dream The dragonflies are trying to lecture me The seahorses as if we were in the sea But this is all I want, It's all I need This is all I am, It's everything This is all I want, It's all I need Beat a drum for me Like a butterfly wing Tropical storm across the ocean But don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know Don't forget we're just half way from coal This is all I want, It's all I need This is all I am, It's everything This is all I want, It's all I need.. . |

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind A simple prop to occupy my time This one goes out to the one I love Fire This one goes out to the one I love This one goes out to the one I've left behind A simple prop to occupy my time This one goes out to the one I love Fire she's comin' down on her own, now This one goes out to the one I love This one goes out to the one I've left behind Another prop has occupied my time This one goes out to the one I love Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now |

This flower is scorched
This film is on On a maddening loop These clothes, These clothes don't fit us right I'm to blame It's all the same It's all the same You come to me with a bone in your hand You come to me with your hair curled tight You come to me with persistence You come to me with excuses Ducked out in a row You wear me out You wear me out We've been through faith, breakdown Self hurt Plastics, collections Self help, self pain, Guest psychics fuck off I was central I had control I lost my head I need this I need this A paper weight, junk garage Winter rain, a honey pot Crazy, all the lovers have been tapped Hotline, wanted ad Crazy what you could have had It's crazy what you could have had It's crazy what you could have had I need this I need this |
