PAINT
02:44
|
|||
|
I've been hurting, it hurts really bad
And I don't care much for the love we had
Although you're pretty you just make me sad
All I can do is just laugh
At this place
I paint my face to hide my disdain
Are you a big boy or a girl
I'm in my world so please get away
I'll buy your record for seven dollars
But to your eyes I won't say no words
And when you hold me I'm covered in spurs
I'm really cold
In a world, I'd talk to you
Get bit by you and spun on the axis
But here and now I'll say I keep my wits
And don't put up shit
And it's harsh, the way you treat me in my car
When I give you rides
I'm over, I've pulled over
Struck by things that ain't no surprise

GOODNIGHT CINDY
03:14
|
|||
|
I'll bet when I rest we'll make amends
You don't hurt souls
It hurts though
Goodbyes wilting, say it with me
Won't you keep a secret?
Won't you sleep a small bit?
Goodnight, Cindy
You said when I get a bed head then I'm read
But I won't, I don't know, cause I'm old
Or so I'm told
But shallow giftings shadow all things
Hold you in a chamber
Till I turn to cinder
Goodnight, Cindy
At least you won't have to hurt no more
My sweet girl, no you won't

THE KIDS DON'T CARE
03:07
|
|||
|
It's a shame about your house and how it's all condemned
But don't you see the ones you raise don't really give a damn?
And though I'd like to say I care about the cool new top
I never seem to notice what is ever in the shop
And the kids don't care
They never did
You can ask anyone of them
Go take a spin
And though I'm old and I've been read I don't take much to heart
I find it's mostly bullshit all right from the start
So don't you feel weary at all about the state you're in?
I think it's time that you might just embrace yourself again
Cause the kids don't care
They never did
You can ask anyone of them
Just like I did
And the kids don't care
They never did
You can ask anyone of them
Go take a spin

ELLIE
03:16
|
|||
|
Ellie, you are to me
You're saccharine
I'll meet you there
Drawing a picture of me
You sat on the leaves
So sweet to be cared
You broke open doors
Sent me things of yours
And all I really need to give you is me
You're one I adore
And i'm not really sure
If I can be the one to guide you through the sea
I'm done, I've had my fun
I tried not to run
But you'd been so far
Inside, there's not much to hide
You're there for the ride
And that's where you'll stay
I've made also friends
None like you again
But now you'll be forever swimming in the lake
Here with open arms
Leave it to your charm
I'll wait for you to give another for a while

IN MY CAR
02:02
|
|||
|
I can go anywhere in my car
Drive you around, sunroof to the stars
If only there were time to make it easier for the both of us
But oh how we live so far
You said you'd make it good
While it lasts, yeah I think you should
You know it's hard for me
Is it hard for you?
I've got a brand new plate on the back
Mirrors are clean, it's no Cadillac
But if my car can take me all the way from here back home to you
I think I'm fine with that
I'm glad to say my tires are worn
I can imply these arms have been warm
When I'm away from you all I can think about is fuel
And how I'd like it to be all gone
I may not have the tools
But what I have is you
You make it hard to stay these miles away

PLAY BALL
02:24
|
|||
|
Think fast and play ball
Or you stay out and just waste it all
You been abiding by what you said last term?
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
With no comprehension on my doubts at all
And so you know well I couldn't help you if I tried
In this place you gave up, stand your ground
No longer do you care anyhow
There was once I knew ya, long ago
But you've blacked your sights and stowed em in the cold
You're wiser than you play to be
But your presentation won't be fooling me
Cause I've known you longer than the boys in town
The fire in you shines bright when soon
Your acclimation starts to show
But it's up to you when you want to be seen
In this place you gave up, stand your ground
No longer do you care anyhow
There was once I knew ya, long ago
But you've blacked your sights and stowed em in the cold

SIGN
01:48
|
|||
|
Give a sign, but only in time
Will I realize, will I begin to see
That you're with me
I know you too well
You've been kind, I notice your mind
You make me feel a man again
A mannequin alive
You're just my speed, you're right there at home
I've walked right along, I've waited so long
Do you need it like I do?

RUBY
01:29
|

|
Ruby, Ruby
Sister, is her mind going well today?
Ruby, Ruby
Do you lose me when I tell the songs that play?
When I'm going down, won't take you with me
No, you're all that stays
You are up in town, you hopeful waitress
You are never late
Ruby, Ruby
Life comes soonly, you'll be out and on your way
April springleaf replaced by June
Then fall's when you'll start your day
Don't wait for clowns that hold you down to finally walk your mile
Just remember who you're born
And those that lift you carry your smile

MILD WINTER
03:05
|
|||
|
It's gonna be a mild winter
Fourty hours and fourty days
My dear, I wait for snowfall
My skies are marmalade
You know I'll make it last
No life was in the past
Cause I'm cold and I know why
I'm fine, no need to cry
When I'm old I'll build a castle
I'll keep the heat inside
No place for prunish hassles
I'd like them all to die
I'm home and everywhere
I've grown and so's my hair
There won't be much to keep
Then again, that's just me

BEST FRIEND
02:41
|
|||
|
Get back
You only were my best friend at the worst time
I just had a best friend
It's not bad
To ask me how I'm doin once in a while cause I do it
Inside
I hope you wait for me, just pray for me, don't make me leave like that
I think
That you will live forever, the good times
The bad times, whatever
Smiling
Let's hang out together
Someday I'll make the weather
Up there
In changing leaves let's climb a tree and be happy all the time
|

11. |
||||
|
Feel it come
Feels so sharp
In a crowded room
I worked hard for you
When I played that song
The line was long
But I got you in
And you had me pinned
You had it made
What you say
Really gets me down
On the floor I lay
My empty heart
I'm mighty tired
I could die
Though I wonder why
You still are hanging on
You've kept me for so long

ELECTRIC BRAIN
04:20
|
|||
|
He don't drive, electric brain
No kids, it's all the same
He sees with eyes inside his head
The doc surmise; soon he'll be dead
When he's a child, he wasn't read
He got his news from paper kids
He don't want his life to change
He's got that wild, wild electric brain
|
||||
13. |
||||
|
I'm so scared, I'm home in your arms
I died ten years ago
Put clothes on my lifeless body
I have no face to send a smile
I'm so pale, you're my only sun
I cannot see you but I watch
It's ages since I've been fed
I long for cheese and boar's head
I'm waking, my slumber's done
No longer will I be a mannequin
