have you got a minute?
can you fit me into it?
have you got a minute?
have you got a year?

have you got a year?
have you lost your sight?
have you lost your strength
just to prove your might?

chorus
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 way too slow
i see you in slow motion
you've got muscles--use them

do not hand me a chapter
do not hand me a story
i will only lose them

chorus

from the curve:

is this what you expected?
flat and empty, how i feel?
the brain is emptied out and clean
clean is not a state that's real

so take what you are given
just forget what you deserve
people think you're out there living
but you fell from the curve

chorus
give me a name
right now i'm just a cycle
waiting to end
right now i feel recycled
and i'm ready to leave again

some tree in bloom like crazy hair
some man in feathers flying
i want to stay i don't i'm lying
getting used to it's what i feel

so much to answer for
we have so much to answer for
so sick of talking about it
falling asleep on the floor

chorus

and i'm ready to leave again

for tension:

i've got bruises from where you brushed against me
they feel good and i'm history
here comes a shower of sparks
that will one day give us away

chorus
for tension
guess what i use?
for tension
you can use me
for tension
your attention

for tension your attention's all i ever need

do something wrong you must be joking
do something right i'm only kidding myself
you take a look down off the shelf
and change address and i can't help myself

chorus

for tension your attention's all i never need

mower:

nothing gets in my way today
no one has the power of steel beneath them
i'll leave the world ??
and left to rot beneath the bay

chorus
it was a robin's egg and it was blue
it was a robin's egg and it was blue
it was crushed to bits and you saw it, too
and you say about these things
we say about these things
we have no idea what we're saying

don't you stay in one place to long
they will crawl inside your shoes
they will eat you from the inside
they will make you play to lose

chorus

cut it short, we take the easy way every time
we have no idea what we're saying

package theif:

running with both hands outstretched
accepting the package
only a son understands
he's in the basement

the kids around are scared
they keep their distance
room after room stolen goods
it means nothing to her

chorus
i've been home
i've been out
something's kept him off (from) his route
the boxes never reach my house

all the kids around are scared
they keep their distance
she's got a deal no one removes it
it means nothing to her

chorus

swallow that:

spreading out
it could be tar
it could be blood
it could be
not fluid at all

and if it helps you sleep
and if it helps you to get to sleep
swallow that
swallow that until you're full

you'll find it true
you'll find it to be true
that all you're little deaths
are more imagined than not

and if it helps you to live
well if it helps you to stay awake
swallow that
swallow that until you rot

it's wrapped and tied
just like it should be
it's wrapped and tied
enough to fool ?? me

i'm pretty sure there's someone near me
it's just a body
it's just a body
it's just a body
it's just a body

it looks without life
it looks lifeless enough to me
it's inside out
like a carpet should be

who helped with this one
i mean what brought this
particularly to the floor

there is always a trigger
things don't just happen
they don't just happen
by themselves
it's just the wind
it's just the hinge
it's not an angry ghost
closing that door

i guess i remembered it wrong:

i remember flying
straight over the top
when the car it hits the ??
how could we had stopped

passed right over, went around
passed right over, went around
?? up into my eye
up from the ground
i know there is no way
it could have happened that way
there is no way it could've
happened in any other way

chorus
i guess i remember it wrong
i guess i remember it wrong
i think that my memory's strong but
whatever you say

i remember digging up the yard
i remember carrying you from the car
and i stuffed the valuables into the seat
everything was brighter than it seemed

chorus

it's all coming back to me now . . .

new low:

come on follow me ??
i will run straight home
when i can't be true (betray you)
to you i turn to go

say you wanna be in my shoes
you must be crazy
say you wanna be in my shoes
well you must be crazy

chorus (x3)
we are reaching a new low

come on shake me down
and i will run your drug
i don't want to sleep alone
i wanna sleep in your bunk

tell me you are not forgotten
tell me you are not forgotten
tell me are you feeling rotten now?
tell me you are not forgotten
tell me that you want it and how
tell me are you feeling rotten now?
YEAH!

untied:

i stand on one end of the board
she drops the rock hard on the other end
and i'm flying through the air
and it's a trip i never planned

and i didn't bring much with me
you wouldn't let me bring much with me
but you're riding now beside me
so where will we land?

chorus (x2)
pull the string and i come untied

it's always me coming to your door
with some stuff i found in the trash
and these things i brought you before
well i guess they didn't match

so now whenever you are down
take me down with you

chorus

what's the use if this thing has died?

the question is how fast:

the hair is blonde and falls
down your face
an unsuccessful attempt
to try and erase

the fog(?fall) is blue and settles
settles with the heat
this bitching is familiar i can
trace you with my feet
chorus
the matter is not where we go
but how long it will last
the question is how fast
this is not a test, it's just an ask
and the question is how fast

a bird that's small enough
to winter in your ear
bleeds you draining cup of oil
it's bitter, makes me cheer

??grasping body front
??cleaning into moon
sheets are wrapped around i will be
joining you there soon
chorus

and the question is...

trash heap:

??days by color
by palette and knife on
you write things in their place
there's room for a new one

chorus
pardon this a trash heap
your smile and caress all i keep
pardon this a trash heap
caught in your dress i can't sleep

i need a name, i need a number
i need a piece of paper
i need a button marked static
and i feel better

chorus

hold the mirror up to me
hold the mirror up to me
hold the mirror up what do you see?

flawless:

your skin is so thin
that i can see right through
and you don't think i can
cause my heart is made of stone
and i'm kicking just for hurt
and you don't like that hurt
it's more than i can stand

chorus you just watch the band and you think that you can
tell me how it is
i will not be there when the curtain comes down

and you think that you're not fooled
like everybody else
and i can see the world
destruction is a bore
and i'm mad about the business
and i'm mad about my projects
it's taking me apart

chorus

flawless

the only piece that you get

what do you mean
this is the only piece that i get
just let us sleep
and you'll hear everything that's been said
and the languages change in the dark
but on paper it makes perfect sense
in a box on some wheels in a room
we use any word but intent
this is the only piece that you get

if the right side eludes you this time
there's another one standing in line
if the right side eludes you this time
there's another one standing in line
and the languages change in the dark
but on paper it makes perfect sense
on paper it makes perfect sense
