Traveling, swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced, breathing out Listerine I've said what I'd said what I'd tell you And that you've killed the better part of me If you could just milk it for everything I've said what I said and you know what I mean But I still can't focus on anything We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves Traveling, swallowing Dramamine Look at your face like you're killed in a dream And you think you've figured out everything I think I know my geography pretty damn well You say what you need so you'll get more If you could just milk it for everything I've said what I said and you know what I mean But I still can't focus on anything |

Does not exist, take an exit
Does not exist, take an exit I hear voices insinuating Feeds me lyrics to these songs that I am saying Sunlight, 7:20 PM, early September Standing looking at a photograph that you do not remember, being taken You look out of breath and me like I am faking As a matter of fact I don't recall this photo being taken You don't even actually exist so I just started shaking Does not exist, take an exit |

A surf rock band from the land of plenty
Surf rock bands with no surf, just pine trees Struck by being ashamed of your old space Just wanted that mean heat You bleached your hair and you pawned your skis And then you sold out for the shade of the palm tree scene And said, oh what a drag, oh what a backwards scheme Cause here things go from gray to gray, then back to gray again And they get green then go to gray and go back to gray again, so he said Head south, head south, head south, head south Head south, head south, head south, head south Head south, head south, head south, head south Head south, head south, head south, head south Struck by being ashamed of your old space Just wanted that mean heat You bleached your hair and you pawned your skis And then you sold out for the shape of the palm tree scene Sit around in cut off jeans and cut off jeans are what you mean, when you say Head south, head south, head south, head south Head south, head south, head south, head south Head south, head south, head south, head south |

He don't remember how it got there he had a number written on his forearm it spelled disaster
He entered the club scene All hoping, all hoping for dancing He was looking, a looking so stunning His clothes reflecting light, all right she She sat, she sat in the backseat The car was plush but had no heat And no, not no one was blushing Their technique was so damn right, all right and He read the note in the black light He thought he read minds and was not right That line still made him seem charming His clothes were shining, shining |

When I can work out how it was then I'll tell you
TV stained my memories, yeah I don't fit the shoes Remember through sounds, remember through smells Remember through colors, remember through towns With fear and fascination on what was here And what's replacing them now Interchange plazas and malls and crowded chain restaurants More housing developments go up named after the things they replace So welcome to Meadow Brook and welcome to Shady Space Well it all seems a little abrupt, well no, I don't like this change of pace |

Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio
Took a bus straight to Baltimore, on the way he took a nap Dropped off a note that said I'm giving this note back P.S. there's a lot going on underneath There's roots, there's pipes and there's drainage leaks, oh yeah You're on, you're wrong Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio Truly sorry, I see clearly Calmly crashing, I pace faster than anyone Hinges rusting, they swing louder than anything Truly lonely, this place is flatter than it seems I'm upset and I leave the door open wide Our hearts are used up, cracked and dry Pulled the scabs off of regrets We haven't learned to eat our conscience yet Truly sorry, I see clearly Hardly hoping, I spend it all on game machines Calmly crashing, I pace and I figure it out again One hand clapping, awake but napping Rows of lights to illuminate lines Why don't they turn them off and let us see night Drove crazed, grooming my lies You can't look in on one-way eyes Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio |

Won herself a pass to some far off moon
It was second class but what's to lose And looking out her window she could more than assume That you can't see air or time She's the only rocketeer in the whole damn place They gave her a mirror so she could talk to a face She still got plenty lonely but that's just the case With time, time, time Started hearing voices sometime in June She knew she could go crazy but didn't think that soon Now she doesn't feel lonely but she'd just as soon Try, try, try Man shot to the moon I bought a paperback and want to go real soon I'm shot to the moon Been there a half an hour I wanna come home soon |

Well all the apostles, they're sitting in swings
Saying I'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings And some sandals With the style of straps that cling best to the era So all of the businessers in their unlimited hell Where they buy and they sell And they sell all their trash to each other But they're sick of it all and they're bankrupt on selling And all of the angels, they'd sell off your soul For a set of new wings and anything gold They remember the people they loved, their old friends And I've seen through 'em all, seen through 'em all, seen through most everything All the people you knew were the actors All the people you knew were the actors Well, I'll go to college and I'll learn some big words And I'll talk real loud, goddamn right I'll be heard You'll remember the guy Who said all those big words he must've learned in college And it took a long time 'till I came clean with myself I come clean out of love with my lover I still love her Loved her more when she used to be sober and I was kinder |

Everyone's afraid of their own life
If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? No one really knows the ones they love If you knew everything they thought I bet that you'd wish that they'd just shut up Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math When you were alive No ones gonna play the harp when you die And if I had a nickel for every damn dime I'd have half the time, do you mind? Everyone's afraid of their own lives If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? Am I right? And it's our lives It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember We're alive for the first time It's hard to remember were alive for the last time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember To live before you die It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember That our lives are such a short time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember When it takes such a long time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember: My mom's God is a woman and my mom she is a witch I like this My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself Why fight this Everyone's afraid of their own lives If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? |

If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? No one really knows the ones they love If you knew everything they thought I bet that you'd wish that they'd just shut up Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math When you were alive No ones gonna play the harp when you die And if I had a nickel for every damn dime I'd have half the time, do you mind? Everyone's afraid of their own lives If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? Am I right? And it's our lives It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember We're alive for the first time It's hard to remember were alive for the last time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember To live before you die It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember That our lives are such a short time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember When it takes such a long time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember: My mom's God is a woman and my mom she is a witch I like this My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself Why fight this Everyone's afraid of their own lives If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? |

It's the big show tongue tip tied to the roof of my mouth bad naughty little angels come rushin' out. I don't know but I been told you never die and you never grow old. I guess you guessed that I"d catch hell. I just caught a cold but now I'm feelin well. It's the big show it's big show Looked like we were photographed at gun point so I had to laugh. Ha ha. You said "I hope you live forever." Don't you wish that on me. You said "don't be clever." I don't know but I been told you never die and you never grow old. It's the big show. It's the big show! Three inch horses watching them drown (in the tar pits). We're kneeling down. They see us talking out both sides of our mouths. Two faced monsters. aaawh. |

"Here it comes (the place and the time that we knew that things could go wrong)" Walk to your house on my lunch break Here it comes "Come inside and pour a drink" You'll probably tell me everything you think Here it comes The place and the time that we knew that things could go wrong The grass grows green, could you step away from the screen, it doesn't mean I don't want you to be seen, just not like everyone. Grass grows green and it's everyone. You always told me life's a dam that breaks Here it comes If you sit still or if you run Here it comes. So now we're drownin' in birthday cakes Here it comes The place and the time that we knew that things could go wrong Keep it clean. I didn't mean to be mean. Why does it always seem that I've never won. Keep it clean and no one's ever won. The empty promise makers said "Here it comes" Make a point to make no sense Here it comes Speak about the future in the past tense Here it comes "Don't look down." So what'd we do?" Here it comes Walkin' around with shit on our shoes Oh, here it comes The place and the time that we knew things would go wrong. |

Well I don't know but I've been told
he's baking cakes inside our souls Stayed awake, took a nap Got myself my bottles back I'm breaking down out on the street Walkin' round my own bare feet I do not need you to tell me That I'm not a cat I caught a rat, we caught some air He's never gonna cut his hair He takes more time to make a fake We now swim down in the lake And wash the dirt off our intentions Paddle on with our bad inventions I came as ice, I came as a whore I came as advice that came too sureI came as gold, I came as crap I came too clean, and I came as a rat It takes a long time, but God dies too But not before he'll stick it too you I don't know but I've been told You'll never die and you never grow old I came as a call, I came as flat I came too soon so I came back I came as flowers, I came as nice I came as dirt, and I came as a surprise It takes a long time, but God dies too But not before he'll stick it too you I don't know but I've been told You'll never die and you never grow old |

Out of breath and out of cash, find yourself watching M.A.S.H., every night on the couch. Woman says let's take a drive down south, roll down the windows and open our mouths taste where we are and play the music loud. Stop the car, lay on the grass, the planets spin and we watch space pass.Walk a direction, see where we get. I never knew nothin' so there's nothin' to forget. Get real drunk and ride our bikes. There's so much beauty it could make you cry. The rich get money but never what they want. Find ourselves a new place to haunt. Climb up the fire escape do it 'til the ground looks far away. Go night swimming, leave our clothes on the ground, when we get busted we just stand there proud. It's the truth we all been wrong make it up and let's move on. Playing cards we all get to act sly there's so much beauty it could make you cry. |

Yeah, I need a scapegoat now No my dog won't bite you, though it had the right to You oughta give her credit cuz she knows I would've let it happen Blame it on the weekends. God I need a cola now Oh we mumble loudly, wear our shame so proudly Wore our blank expressions, trying to look interesting Blame it all on me cuz God I need a cold one now All them eager actors gladly taking credit for the lines created by the people tucked away from sight is just a window from the room we're bound to If you find a way out, oh would you just let me know how? Would you just let me know how? Blame it on the web but the spider's your problem now Language is for liquid that we're all dissolved in Great for solving problems, after it creates a problem Blame it on the Tetons. God, I need a scapegoat now Everyone's a building burning with no one to put the fire out Standing at the window looking out waiting for time to burn us down Everyone's an ocean drowning with no one really to show how They might get a little better air if they turned themselves into a cloud |

Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in. In my head, in my heart, in my soul. And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again. Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so.
Well that is that and this is this. You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get. You get away from me. You get away from me. Collected my belongings and I left the jail. Well thanks for the time. I needed to think a spell. I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile. The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in? In your head, in your mouth, in your soul. And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old. Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so. Well that is that and this is this.

I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile. Well that is that and this is this. Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed, when the ocean met the sky. You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye. When the earth folded in on itself. And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath." You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death? You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death? The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in? In your head, in your mouth, in your soul. The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind. Well I don't mind. I don't mind. How the hell could I mind? Well that is that and this is this. Well that is that and this is this. You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.

I'm just a box, just a box in a cage. I'm just a box in a cage. We have one chance, one chance to get everything right. My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me. I just don't think that it's right. I've seen so many ships sail in, just to head back out again and go off sinking. |

You were laying on the carpet
Like you're satin in a coffin You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?" Yeah right now, but not that often Are you dead or are you sleepin'? Are you dead or are you sleepin'? Are you dead or are you sleepin'? God I sure hope you are dead Well you disappeared so often Like you dissolved into coffee Are you here right now Or are there probably fossils under your meat? Are you dead or are you sleepin'? Are you dead or are you sleepin'? Are you dead or are you sleepin'? God I sure hope you are dead Now the blow's been softened Since the air we breathe's our coffin Well now the blow's been softened Since the ocean is our coffin Often times you know our laughter Is your coffin ever after And you know the blow's been softened Since the world is our coffin Well now the blow's been softened Since we are our own damn coffins Well everybody's talkin' about their short lists Everybody's talkin' about death You were laying on the carpet Like you're satin in a coffin You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?" Yeah right now, but not that often Are you dead or are you sleepin'? Are you dead or are you sleepin'? Are you dead or are you sleepin'? God, I sure hope you are dead |

Ice-age heat wave, can't complain. If the world's at large, why should I remain? Walked away to another plan. Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand. I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way. Went to the porch to have a thought. Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop. You don't know where and you don't know when. But you still got your words and you got your friends. Walk along to another day. Work a little harder, work another way. Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan. We'll float on maybe would you understand? Gonna float on maybe would you understand? Well float on maybe would you understand? The days get shorter and the nights get cold. I like the autumn but this place is getting old. I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast. It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most. The days get longer and the nights smell green. I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave. I like songs about drifters - books about the same. They both seem to make me feel a little less insane. Walked on off to another spot. I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want. Did I want love? Did I need to know? Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow? The moths beat themselves to death against the lights. Adding their breeze to the summer nights. Outside, water like air was great. I didn't know what I had that day. Walk a little farther to another plan. You said that you did, but you didn't understand. I know that starting over is not what life's abo |

Call it education
It was somewhere in between You gave me some sound advice But I wasn't listening After we had capsized I could tell you how you thought Well, I'm not sure But laid to rest on the city on the wall Not quite conversation It was somewhere in between You said everything is taught And I listened patiently All this talking pony Still monkies the whole time We could not help from flinging shit In our modern suits and ties Our instincts, they were cringing About how we lived our lives It didn't seem we'd lived enough To even get to die All these diss distractions So beautifully complex Well, I loved life's surprises so much I don't want to know what's happened Stubborn shouting, said "I don't do what you do" I don't know Could it really hear highly if you highly care? And you don't Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty I've been away Hardly education It was somewhere in between Oh, I hit the roof but I had Aimed for the ceiling Hardly education All them books I didn't They just sat there on my shelf Looking much smarter than me Good old Nostradamus He knew the whole damn time That always being east from west Someone is there fighting Stubborn shouting, said "I don't do what you do" I don't know Could it really hear highly if you highly care? And you don't Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty I've been away Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty I don't know anyway Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty I don't know Could it really hear highly if you highly care?

Is there enough? Is there enough? Fire it up, fire it up When we fine the perfect water We'll hang out on the shore Just long enough to leave our clothes there Fine enough, fine enough Oh, we ate all of the oranges Off the navels of our lovers Grabbed a book and read the cover It honestly was beautifully done Like trying to hide the daylight from the sun But even if we had been sure enough, it's true, we really didn't know Even if we knew which way to head, but, still, we probably wouldn't go Fire it up, fire it up We pushed off, we're rolling boulders Crashing down the mirrored stairways To a blast basement canaries Fire it up, fire it up When we fix the carburetor Then we'll push off once again In an hour or so later It honestly was beautifully bold Like trying to save an ice cube from the cold But even if we had been sure enough, it's true, we really didn't know Even if we knew which way to head, but, still, we probably wouldn't go Well we always Well we always Had it all Had it all Had it all Well we always Well we always Had it all Had it all Had it all Well we always Well we always Had it all Had it all Had it all |

Although we often wondered
It was no thing of wonder The shit that flew from our minds Grass stains and fresh fruit Reminds our shoes of horse glue On this ridiculous climb With great tall vision We built ourselves a mission To ride out motives decide Oh, with vague description Of what we have been missing So why would anyone try? It was always worth it That's the part I seem to hide And the busy ant empire Put all your clothes inside I wasn't always cargo I guess I'll pack up my mind It took so much effort Not to make an effort Oh, what a flawless design It was always worth it That's the part I seem to hide And the busy ant empire Put all your clothes inside Even as I left Florida (Yee-ha) It was always worth it That's the part I seem to hide And the busy ant empire Put all your clothes inside Even as I left Florida Far enough, far enough Wasn't far enough Couldn't quite seem to escape myself Far enough, far enough Far from Florida We were all drowning in cruise control Far enough, far enough Wasn't far enough I stood on my heart supports thinkin' 'Oh my God, I'll probably have to carry this whole load.' I couldn't remember if I tried I couldn't remember if I took my brain out, threw it so directly at the goal I couldn't remember if I, I could have my mind erased And still not know exactly what I don't already know Even as I left Florida |

Of part and parcel
So, well, we're already dead Well, it's probably been said That it's always been said That One wing isn't even enough It isn't even enough It isn't even enough It isn't even enough To leave One wing isn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough To leave I'm gonna shake myself right out the door I'm gonna take myself when it's finally over I'm gonna let my own bad self take over I'm gonna move my arm out with my shoulder And One wing wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough To leave One wing wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough To leave One wing wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough It wasn't even enough To leave First off, Gary was on trial, and drunk before we left bed As things got better, was it hard to say that he had no idea? Well, I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around So, we all just opened up our mouths and walked to this town Well, I was walking just a little bit sideways, and you were walking sideways too Well, I hadn't learned when a front door can be used Here it goes now We had darkened doors, so we didn't read what the sign read Though simple enough, it was to me really tough; the ground needs to be fed Well, I hadn't noticed, but the people really noticed that they didn't really want us around So, not a single one of us will ever leave town Here we go, sir Our bodies were laid out They were laid for fifteen yards Well, two feet above each of our heads was a fly trapped in a jar Well, I hadn't noticed, but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around So, every single one of us hit the ground Here we go now One wing wasn't even, uh One wing wasn't even enough Oh, pardon, pardon So, well, it's already been said That it's always been said that We're already dead |
