Keep 'em Coming
14 hours ahead. A head that's heavier than
lead. And I've got toothpicks in my eyes. A smile more yellow
than the sky. I've got a song stuck in my head, one that I miss more
than my bed. It's a song sung from a fallen milkman who's drinking
bleach instead. I'm much like him. 14 hours unfed. I
spent the last cents in my head. They're worth much less than pennies
now. Food for one thought shared with a crowd. And I've got
a painting in my head. A deeper blue, bled thicker red. More
red than bloody mary's coast to coast. "I hate flying", I said.
That's what I said. Sad, sorry excuse. Just like everything
that made her smile and everything I use. I won't go back to the
way it was. I'm now huffing gas and sniffing paint to take away this
buzz that I call you. 14 hours ahead. A head that's heavier
than lead. Toothpicks pry open my eyes. A smile more yellow
than the sky. I've got a song stuck in my head, one that I miss more
than my bed. It's a song sung from a fallen milkman who's drinking
bleach instead. I'm much like him. 14 hours unfed. I
spent the last cents in my head. They're worth much less than pennies
now. Food for one thought shared with a crowd. I've got a painting
in my head. A deeper blue, bled thicker red. More red than
bloody mary's coast to coast. "I hate flying", I said. That's
what I said. Sad, sorry excuse. Just like everything that made
her smile and everything I use. I won't go back to the way it was.
Cause I'm now huffing gas and sniffing paint to take away this buzz that
I call you.
Madam Me
The sunrise fills your eyes. Cannot hear
your cries. Pleading, please just go away. I can't take another
day of this. No surprise. A surplus of lies freed from the
skies. Is there something that I missed? Can't even take another
day of this. Lower than piss. Have you ever felt like this?
She can't recall the last time she avoided it. Lower than piss.
Have you ever felt like this? Judging by your eyes, like crystal
balls... madam me is predicting that your answer will be yes. The
sunrise burned out your eyes. Failed to apologize as it was eating
at your face. Took your smile away without a trace of it. Warmer
than piss. Have you ever felt like this? It just might take
a fever to encounter it. Knee deep in shit. There's no avoiding
it. From your knees, you're coated brown, to your toes. There
is no sound like this. And I will keep you warm in hell. And
I will keep you warm in hell. And I will keep you warm in hell.
Way down in hell.
You've Got So Far To Go
Soon ends our stay here and it's been fun.
So tonight I'll raise my glass to us. Cause we've talked so much
I think we filled this ashtray twice, and I'm pretty sure we emptied every
bottle in the place... so let's walk home, let's be afraid. I wanna
grab you by the arms and kiss you so hard. Let's do it right, under
the streetlight. I want it now, somehow I forgot how. Way to
go, way to go. Forgot you've got so far to go. Way to go, way
to go. Forgot you've got so far to go. I heard everybody's
voice cut out when you spoke. And I watched all the lights go dim
when your eyes opened. Well I can't believe you showed up, what do
I do now? It's last call, time to go. But before we say goodnight...
let's walk home, let's be afraid. I wanna grab you by the arms and
kiss you so hard. Let's do it right under the streetlight.
I want it now, somehow I forgot how. Way to go, way to go.
Forgot you've got so far to go. Way to go, way to go. Forgot
you've got so far to go. Forgot you've got so far, you've got so
far to go. Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go.
Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go. Forgot you've
got so far, you've got so far to go.
Fuck You Aurora
My, my what a mess we've made of our pretty little
heads these days. It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently.
Best wishes have been made for you. You never had no say, it's true.
You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen. And all your
lonely nights in the city of lights are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through. My, my what a mess
was made of my head when I heard what you'd been through that day.
It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently. Letters
meant to be sent have been torn. The phone lies off the hook, on
the floor. All these "I'm sorry"s and "I miss you"s are useless.
I fucked this one up long ago. And all your lonely nights in the
city of lights are much like all these crowded bars I so often find my
stupid self stumbling through. Fuck you Aurora. You took my
only friend. And although it's all my fault, the blaming myself had
to come to an end. So I say, "Fuck you Aurora. You took my
only friend. You won't catch me behind the wheel of a chrysler ever
again." My, my what a mess we've made of our precious little lives
these days. It appears a big, fucking tornado has twisted us up recently.

Sleepyhead
All you've been asking for has been placed in front
of you. The headaches, the shaking, the boredom the boardroom brings.
You're scratching at itching, brought by the spiders beneath your skin.
The answer in question is over before it begins. "Hey there sleepy
smile. I see you've brought your bedroom eyes." Not assuming
you wanna keep 'em. I'm assuming you reckon you won't. All

I see you've brought your bedroom eyes." Not assuming you wanna keep
'em. I'm assuming you reckon you won't. Nothing to see here
but the rain. There's nothing to hold you but the flames. Nothing
to see here but the rain. There's nothing to hold you but the flames.
Nothing to see here but the rain. There's nothing to hold you but
the flames. Nothing to see here but the rain. It's raining
flames. "Earth to sleepy smile. Where'd you take those bedroom
eyes?" Not assuming you wanna keep 'em. I'm assuming you reckon
you won't.
Maybe I'll Catch Fire
This house is full of ears, but I can't talk to
anyone. They've heard this one a thousand times. Most exciting
thing I do, hang half way out a third floor window, maybe throw lit cigarettes
down. And maybe I'll catch fire. Something warm to hold me.
Something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind.
All that evil shit's not hard to find. I guess I only claim to be
nice. This house is full of eyes, but I can't look at anyone.
They've seen this face a thousand times. Most relaxing thing I do,
hang half way out a third floor window, and look at rocks if I fall out.
Well maybe I'll fall hard. Something tough to break me. Something
sharp to rip into my insides and bleed out all that pain. Sorry,
I don't even know your name. I guess for me it's easy this way.
Maybe I'll catch fire. Something warm to hold me. Something
pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind. All that
evil shit's not hard to find. I guess I only claim to be nice.
Tuck Me In
Tuck me into where it's freezing. Tuck me
into bed with snakes. Tuck me in with the tarantulas. I wanna
let 'em in my mouth and down my throat to lay their eggs. Tuck me
into where there's bleeding. Where it spills out of the walls onto
the floor. Tuck me into where your best friend's apologies amount
to shit... they always did for ever more. I pour out onto the floor
like liquid white from fallen glass... nothing to cry over. My skin
went sour long ago. It knew it had no place left to go. Tuck
me into where I'm falling. Where I can feel the heat rise underneath
my wings. And all the fallen angels in hell will tuck me away from
you. Take me away from everything. Tuck me into where there's
dying. Tuck me in with flames and tuck me in with flies. Maybe
then you will appreciate your only friend with maggots in her eyes, or
as ashes in the sky. I pour out onto the floor like liquid white
from fallen glass... nothing to cry over. My skin went sour long
ago. It knew it had no place left to go. I pour out onto the
floor like liquid white from fallen glass... nothing to cry over.
My skin went sour long ago. It knew it had no place left to go.
She Took Him To The Lake
Do you remember the story of a boy and his first
date? She took him to the lake and he fell in love. She spent
one summer waking up between his arms. She told him how good that
felt, told him he was the one. But then she went away, his calls
were not returned. He went to see her, but her eyes were burning
a different stare. The focus was somewhere else. And that feeling
had somehow disappeared. Do you remember when they both drove out
of state? Stealing kisses behind her cousins back. With a love
so strong, tell me who could wait? When it seems so right and it
feels so right. Man, it had to be right. When it seems so right
and it feels so right. Man, it had to be right. Gotta be right.
When it seems so right and it feels so right. Man, it had to be right.
When it seems so right and it feels so right. Man, it had to be right.
But then she went away and she's not coming back. And I'm pretty
sure that boy is staying in tonight.
5-3-10-4
Schoolyard freaks are freezing, now getting teased
again. I'm looking back and down and watching it go by. Down
at the stockyards cattle screaming, the trains squeak by again. I
can see my breath and I'm so thankful I'm not one of them. The sound
of the ground freezing, is pounding once again. It comes with the
wind that once wiped off our smiles. Alarm clock bells are screaming
out the same routine again. Scrape open your eyes, rise and fucking
shine, 7 a.m. Sit down, dead weight, and wonder. Unsure, unslept,
uncovered. The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes...
through 5-3 eyes. Schoolyard freaks are freezing, pushed to the ground
again. I'm looking up and west for black to fill the sky. The
sound of bottles breaking, still breaking in my ears. They opened
just in time to empty out and gouge away the years. Sit down, dead
weight, and wonder. Unsure, unslept, uncovered. The new light
of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes... through 5-3 eyes. Schoolyard
freaks are bleeding, down getting kicked again. I can taste the earth
and feel it in my eyes. The sound of cattle screaming, still screaming
in my ears. They came in metal coffins, chained me up and hacked
me off my years. Sit down, dead weight, and wonder. Unsure,
unslept, uncovered. The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful
eyes... through 5-3 eyes.
Radio
Shaking like a dog shittin' razor blades.
I'm waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me. I'm waking
up all alone. Waking up so relieved. While you're taking your
time with apologies, I'm making my plans for revenge. Red eyes on
orange horizons. If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the
edge... I'd drive straight off the edge. Taking your own life with
boredom. I'm taking my own life with wine. It helps you to
rule out the sorrow. It helps me to empty my mind. Making the
most of a bad time. I'm smoking the brains from my head. Leaving
the coal, calling the kettle black and orange and red. This kettle
is seeing red. I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my
darling. In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying.
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you, plugged in and ready
to fall. Shaking like a dog shittin' razor blades. Waking up
next to nothing after dreaming of you and me. Waking up all alone.
Waking up so relieved. While you're taking your time with apologies,
I'm planning out my revenge. Red eyes on orange horizons. If
Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge. I'm seeing red.
I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling. In case
you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying. I wish you would
take my radio to bathe with you, plugged in and ready to fall... plugged
in and ready to fall... plugged in and ready to fall... plugged in and
ready to fall.
