Angry as I Am
03:36
|

|
I'm too old to be
as angry as I am
If I could steal a thing
it'd be the heart of a dying man
that's holding on to gravity
escaping the damned
I'll say what I need
to justify the means
when I take what I need
Do you need me?
shouting in your ear
the truth is hard to find I know
but you my dear
nothing but a crystal lining
just trying to shine

Candle to Burn
05:00
|

|
a blind compromise
so we fantasize
of peace and quiet
rules, too big of shoes
to fill, your woos
are hard to prove
I ain't waiting for the candle to burn
I ain't waiting for the young to learn from you
I ain't waiting for my lover to leave
I ain't waiting 'round to button your sleeves for you
although you want me to
your bed is nice and dressed
with pillows to rest
your head and breast
the floor for the dirty and poor
a cough and a snore
keep rowing the oars
been a while now but everybody knows
tunnel underground where everybody goes
and for you a perfect jewel
for when times are cruel
and you're praying for blue
moons, your relief is soon
so build your cocoon
we'll prepare balloons

No Answer

when you come up short or worse
in between
when you come up short or worse
in between
tell me what that means
when you're colored in
but not quite evenly
when you're colored in
but not quite evenly
tell me what I seem
no answer
you should know by now it's not your first
time asking
I can't even stand to hear your voice
right now
well I can't even stand to hear your voice
right now
so I won't
when your only light
is one side of the room
when your only light
is one side of the room
tell me where to move
you should know by now
I can't even stand
you should know by now
you should know by now
you should know by now
I can't even stand
your voice
right now
so I won't

Blue Moon
05:38
|
|||
|
well we started the 1st being up all night
with a couple of friends and some bottles of wine
until we ended up at a fancy bar downtown
and my new job is pretty good I'd say
you see a few shows and the money's ok
but the best thing's after work, you get free beer
well I'm pretty stoked
on a plane ticket that I bought to New York City
maybe we'll grab a bike and ride around central park
in a few more weeks we'll be waiting on
a visit from another Biggie
yeah we'll drive out to the mountains, hike in the dark
full moon, blue moon
full moon, blue moon
so we're gearing up for a summer trip
out on the cold, cold water
baby we'll get tossed and somehow come to life
and we'll drive up north, the coast again
it's always a good good feeling
but before we go lets fill up this time
full moon, blue moon
full moon, blue moon
full moon, blue moon
full moon, blue moon
yeah I know
some things last forever and some things don't
some things don't
yeah I know
some things last forever and some things don't
some things don't
well the lights went out and I've been dedicated
every night medicated
I can't remember anything that's true
but you pulled me up by my hair
and we ran all the way down the stairs
and stared up at that moon and it was blue
yeah we stared up at the moon and it was blue
full moon, blue moon
full moon, blue moon
full moon, blue moon
full moon, blue moon

and I
I try and speak
but I am weak
yeah I am weak
and we
we'll forget the act
remember that
remember that
in my lily white castle
I'm sound asleep
in our lily white castle
we're sound asleep
and you
you won't say a thing
because it makes it hard
hard to think
and we
we won't stir the rest
we halt the brain
ignore the chest yes
shouting now and no one hears it
shouting now and no one hears
shouting now and no one hears it
shouting now and no one hears
shouting in my lily white castle

I'm a Little Strange
04:39
|
|||
|
I knew this woman
she was out of her skull
she kept on tripping
until she broke her bones
she'd call me late at night
to see what's going down
dirty woman
I don't want you around
I don't want you around
time for a needed change
bullet straight to my brain
I'm a little strange
I knew this woman
she was walking for miles
she'd turn in her keys
every once in a while
she'd either fake a smile
or wear a frown
dirty woman
I don't want you around
I don't want you around
I don't want you around
I knew this woman
she was out of her skull
she kept on tripping
until she broke her bones
she'd either fake a smile
or wear a frown
dirty woman
I don't want you around
I don't want you around
I don't want you around
I don't want you around

I'm on the run
won't you help me out
I'm on the run
won't you help me out
she's on to me
she's on to you
she's on to me
she's on to you

Born in the Summer
04:22

I bet you were born in the summer
I bet you're in love with the sea
I bet you're as cold as ever
I bet you tore your lover
I bet you were born in the summer
I bet you're in love with the sea
I bet you're as cold as ever
I bet you tore your lover
afraid of the morning heat
afraid of the morning heat
I bet I know what will happen
I bet I know what you'll be
tying knots but unable to fasten
the strings that are left hanging
afraid of the morning sting
afraid of the morning sting
what you want
what you want me to be?
I can only base my beliefs
on what I've seen and those reactions
what you want
what you want me to be?
I can try and change my decree
but what tell me are your intentions?
I bet I know what will happen
I bet I know what you'll be
tying knots but unable to fasten
the strings that are left hanging
afraid of the morning sting
afraid of the morning sting
afraid of the morning sting
afraid of the morning sting

Your War
03:39
|
|||
|
I can understand obsession
I can understand your greed
but when you're breaking your own limit
and you're passing your own peak
we won't pay you for your war
your death is nothing I can use
we won't pay you for your war
your death is nothing I can use
I can understand preemptive
filing charts privately
but when you're passing your own limits
and by the time you break capacity
