well you're barking out what you think
and you're drinking your expensive drinks
you're in your car and you're on the phone
think you better follow that cord back home
is that a pearl i'm supposed to keep
cause you are putting me to sleep
well i know you think you're deep alright
but you should stay in your shallow end
now you're feeding me watery drinks
and i'm singing while your sunfish sinks
you got a ponytail dragging you down
like the cloud that follows you around
is that a call i'm supposed to keep
cause you are putting me to sleep
well i know you think you're deep alright
but you should stay in your shallow end

[bumming
[ah hell]
you say i'll use any excuse
[i am not that fine
[every word]
[and i will feel a bad, bad high]
lying in state:
every thing that i've done
make them laugh make them cry
thoughts of a maniac
your cigarettes burned down
you dont talk and whats worse
thoughtless minds that taverns find
throwing things:
i'm blowing up the street
you're leaving a trail for me
somewhere along the way
you're leaving a trail for me
i'll be your sister:

twinkling stars over foreign lands
Its the night of the chill blue

chorus
i see you way too slow
do not hand me a chapter
chorus
to think
not me
when its this clear
and the ru[g] begins to stink
its not easy
but i try to get to sleep
of the story if i want
between the seats
where your unwanted change
and dust retreats to
and my heart gets caught
now i slide down
and my heart gets caught
and i try to get this down
and i try to get to sleep
and i try to get this down
and i try to get to sleep
each bow cuts a circle into it
its clearance you're not given
given 'til you're through with it
it's mapped out but it's all even
and this power is self given
and it's clear and it's bright and it's thick
and it's without
without edges
when will everything be quiet?
when will our fucking hearts cease to riot?
when will everything be quiet again?
?the inside sometimes full of ???
and it's easy for people to read things into these
shattered wings, but who knows
who knows really?
when everything will be quiet?
when our fucking hearts will cease to riot?
when everything will be quiet again?
nail the windows shut
leave on the [heat]
we have bowls to burn up and back
it would be nice to breathe
it would be nice to leave sometimes
i remember you under the umbrella
i remember dc
i remember you with your bicycles
it would be nice to breathe sometimes
it would be nice to leave
it would be nice to bring it all back
take 40
take 95
it'd be nice to leave
it'd be nice to breathe sometimes
i remember our lies
i remember the liquor i helped you buy
i remember you with your glasses off
i remember tv
i remember the couch sucking me in
i remember dc
i remember wanting you to laugh again
i remember how foolish i was
it would be nice to leave sometimes
i play it all night long
it makes we want to kill myself
made in some mountain range
seems like a mountain range in love
on my electric guitar
i'm afraid of the dark
without you close to me
100,00 fireflies
as they ricochet round my room
they remind me of your starry eyes
have made this so sad
but this is the worst night
i've ever had
without you close to me
give me one more chance
you won't be happy anyway
why do we still live here
in this repulsive town
all our friends are in new york
when we mean soft things
we should be whispering all the time
i never thought you'd believe me
and you took my offer
and doubled it back [above me]
and now it
[hold on
expect you
decision
pull her tightly]
never said the same thing
but they don't mean the same thing
please do not accept this invitation
please do not accept this invitation

putting on your pained today face
you take the car keys out of your purse

and then close the gate
saturday is lying in state
like a leaf
i skinned my back
a few times, you'll see
head over heels
my hand's on my heart
i'm making a promise
and that's a start
i see you up in the tallest tree
you're throwing things down at me
i'm starting to climb
well i'm starting on my knees
the dusk it turns back into day
the sky is orange
the trees lie down against it
i see you up in the tallest tree
you're throwing things down at me
i'm starting to climb

falling across a very wide sky
and i'd like to say how I love you
but it's all been said in other songs
and if i try to say it new
then i'll say it wrong
i wish that it was just us two
but it's you and me and us - that's three
silent camel train on desert sands.
and I hope to god you feel this too.
i don't want it and you won't take me
got the handle when i smoke
got the handle voices in me
got my answers at home
got my answers from the voices in me
lay me down down with your [thing]
lay me down, well i wish you would
and i forded it all
color blind i had to survive
selling my good taste
take me home and i'm doing fine
and i forged it all
can't turn me off that way
and i forged it all
take me back you've got it down
reciting lines out of a book
who wrote it? i forgot to look
but there was only one
i tried to crawl away
but gravity made me run
i tried to resist
you held me by the arm
i tried to make a list
but there was only one
think that's enough
straining my eyes to see
to find my stuff
i'll leave you sleeping
turn off the light when i'm leaving
but there was only one
i tried to crawl away
but sudden words make me run
i tried to resist
i end up walking home at dawn
i tried to make a list
but there was only one
can you fit me into it?
have you got a minute?
have you got a year?
have you lost your sight?
have you lost your strength
just to prove your might?
do not pass me just to slow down
i can move right through you
do not pass me just to slow down
i have precision auto
i see you in slow motion
you've got muscles--use them
do not hand me a story
i will only lose them
