Bob Mould - Modulate (2002) by Bob Mould (보컬) on maniadb.com

If you are counting down the hours til you sleep / You might be wide awake, but wading in too deep
In the morning light, you can find your way from here / As the Eastern sky begins to reappear

You can't stop the rain / let me off this plane / Normally, I'm not the first one to complain

Are you happy now? Did I make you smile? Would you hold me for a while?
(Generally, I'm not the kind of guy who likes to kiss and tell;
but everyone wants to know the story - oh well, oh well.)

When the nighttime comes and you try to fall asleep / You're so unhappy / what you did to me

Snowball rolls down the mountain side / A catastrophe is happening tonight

You never tried to see my side / so now I simply turn away
180 degrees / Look in the mirror, please / Who would you like to be tomorrow?

Mystified, fire red sky / Sundown fog lifts up and down
Feel my head get trapped inside a tangle of wires
Fighting with the undertow / Smelling salts and ocean sand

Crack the sunset safety glass another day / I could never trouble you to stay
Crack the sunset safety glass another day / Yellow ball is fading away

Come down from the second floor / My familiar memory
Devil jumping from the ledge consume my soul
Faster round the roller rink / Smell of meat and suicide
Guides me nearer to dementia

Forever fidelity / I know you're tired, so I'll let you sleep
We'll share our secret world with no one
What you feel when you're with me / Do you worry you're in love with me?
We'll undercover things our own way

That stupid lamebrain / What a little pecker, 1-2-3
Won't talk, I know they don't believe me
Bus stop, glory hole, latrine / Ollie ollie infree social scene
The novocaine fades away

There's a rumor in the base exchange / Divorcing from a daisy chain
She wouldn't know about loyalty
So do whatever it takes / I can wait a few more days
To get away from this insanity

This stupid lamebrain / It's a total fucking travesty
Listen, I don't care if you believe me
Don't stop, and don't hesitate / And you can do anything until
The novocaine wears off of me

Ripe fruit falls from the tree / Charged seed spread soylent green
It's something going somewhere
Some pure adrenaline / Might bring me back again
Back to you, stay beside me, in dreams

You think you know the animal until you strike a certain nerve
A latent homosex become so violent when provoked and now obscured

Beyond the rage you feel / There's some appeal in this
And objects in the mirror may be much closer than they might appear

Someone as beautiful as you would never look at me / Lost zoloft, lost zoloft
No one as beautiful as you could ever look at me / Lost zoloft, lost zoloft

One Miss America could never service you (Chelsea queen with tambourine)
Confined until conformity achieved humiliation (6%, a tight machine)

You punch my face again / I'll have to call the State Police
I need my fingers fro my work / Brush the dirt stains off your knees

The world, it owes you nothing / You're such a mark for yourself
No wonder no one pays attention to you now

Don't talk about me to your friends / And you've become embarrasing
So was it worse back then, or is it worse right now?

Some deadbeat dad who lives at home / And I don't like your favorite song
So please don't call me anymore / I don't wanna know you

The clock has stopped at 4:08 / And I stand, still so far away
The basement window sheds no sunlight on your fate

I took the high road for you too long / And I still hate your favorite song
So let there be no doubt what this one's all about

As the meteor flies / Ice forming in outer space
In this constellation nation / Puts a smile upon your face
You leave a vapor trail / I can find you inside the cloud
On my hands and knees / Beg and crawl around

Think about all the good times baby / Think about all the times we had
Think about what you mean to me and / Think about the days you were bad

So now you walk away / Take your keys and head to the door
Wet pavement and sidewalks / You walk the runway
You are the brightest star / You are quasar

You always chase me
You ought to be my buddy
Lie to my Face your fears
Then climb on everybody

I belong to truth so I can
Clearly see right through you
I can keep this feeling when I'm down
And out of juju

You come on, so strong
So back off, it's all wrong,
When you comeonstrong.

As the sun begins to burn
Your bullshit and decieving
I can send some dissapointment
Build-up that's unwaving

You come on, so strong
So back off, it's all wrong,
When you comeonstrong.

I can feel the teardrops bring
Your sadness on my grave here
In a minute sunshine baby
Help me back on this year

You come on, so strong
So back off, it's all wrong,
When you comeonstrong.

You realize I'm reaching higher ends
You realize I'm reaching higher ends

Sometimes we make our own choices
Sometimes we take our chances
Nowhere to walk away
Nowhere to stay

You realize I'm reaching higher ends
You realize I'm reaching higher ends

We try to find the balance
We try to keep it straight
We try to stay in tune
We modulate

You always chase me
You ought to be my buddy
Lie to my Face your fears
Then climb on everybody

I belong to truth so I can
Clearly see right through you
I can keep this feeling when I'm down
And out of juju

You come on, so strong
So back off, it's all wrong,
When you comeonstrong.

As the sun begins to burn
Your bullshit and decieving
I can send some dissapointment
Build-up that's unwaving

In a minute sunshine baby
Help me back on this year

You come on, so strong
