She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I’ve been locked inside your Heart Shaped box for a weeks
I’ve been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
Hey!
Wait!
I’ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
hey
wait
I’ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I’ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
…your advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on Angel Hair and babys breath
Broken hymen of your highness I’m left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
Hey!
Wait!
I’ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
hey!
Wait!
I’ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I’ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
…Your advice
I’m the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won’t you come and save me?
Save me
Feed me my eyes (can you sew them shut?)
Jesus Christ (deny your maker)
they who try (will be wasted)
Fear in my eyes (now you’ve sewn them shut)
I’m the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won’t you come and save me?
Save me
Feed my eyes (can you sew them shut?)
Jesus Christ (deny your maker)

Fear in my eyes (now you’ve sewn them shut)
Feed my eyes (can you sew them shut?)

In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
‘Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I’ll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won’t you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won’t you come
Won’t you come
Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send Hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Hang my head, drown my fear
Till you all just disappear
If i died tomorrow
would this song live on forever?
and here is my
unopened letter to a world
that never shall reply
if i died tomorrow
would this song live on forever?
and here is my
unopened letter to a world
that never shall reply
never shall reply
from this second story window
i can hear the church bells calling out my name
this table is set for one
even angels would be homesick
in this forsaken town
on random notes of parchment
i’m scrawling my existence
dressed in white
this candle radiates throughout the night
and it’s never burning out
never burning out
from this second story window
i can hear the children down on main street
they’re singing their songs tonight
in the shadows i will listen to their every movement
Mr. Higginson am i not good enough for the world?
am i destined only to die
the same way that i lived,
in seclusion?
but high up on this mountain
i can almost see your lonely window sill
they’ll carry you off tonight
there’s a ghost in your old bedroom
and a candle burning bright
if i die tomorrow
will this song live on forever?
Sometimes life it takes you by the hair.
It pulls you down before you know it
It’s gone and you’re dead again.
I’ve been in places and I won’t pretend
Yeah, I’d make it out just to fall on my head
Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs
Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent
You know that I could not believe my own truth
Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose
Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight.
You know those days when you want to just choose
To not get out of bed, you’re lost in your head again.
You play the game but you kind of cut
’Cause you’re coming down hard and your joints are all stuck.
I’ve tried to say that’s not the only way
I never knew if I could face myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall, I’m dodging calls, hug the prison I’ve been living in.
Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight.
Robert’s got a quick hand.
He’ll look around the room, he won’t tell you his plan.
He’s got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he’s a cowboy kid.
Yeah, he found a six shooter gun.
In his dad’s closet hidden in a box of fun things, and I don’t even know what.
But he’s coming for you, yeah he’s coming for you.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you’d better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
Daddy works a long day.
He be coming home late, yeah he’s coming home late.
And he’s bringing me a surprise.
‘Cause dinner’s in the kitchen and it’s packed in ice.
I’ve waited for a long time.
Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair’s on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you’d better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
You can’t resist her.
She’s in your bones.
She is your marrow
And your ride home.
You can’t avoid her.
She’s in the air… in the air
In between molecules of
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
[chorus]
Only in dreams
We see what it means.
Reach out our hands.
Hold onto hers.
But when we wake
It’s all been erased.
And so it seems
Only in dreams.
You walk up to her.
Ask her to dance.
She says, “Hey, baby, I just might take the chance.”
You say, “It’s a good thing
That you float in the air… in the air.
That way there’s no way I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces.”
If I could give you anything
I would give you a kick
You’d rather have a dollar
Than a hug from your sis
You really fucked up this time
Your old lady’s really pissed
She’s not just laughing
She’s polishing her fist
If you could give me anything
Would you consider a fist?
Don’t give me yr soul
It’s caught is an abyss
Here’s a pack of ciggies
Fresh from the wonder lips
A dream, a wish, a heart’s desires
Cinderella is a kiss
A cold is gonna take you
And freeze away your tears
Ome a little closer honey
You can be so near
Mind your heart aside you (?)
Really got no sense of time (?)
Ninety-nine inside you (?)
That I’m scared if you were cryin’
If I could give you anything
I would give you a kick
You’d rather have a dollar
Than a hug from your sis
A cold is gonna take you
And freeze away your tears
Come a little closer honey
We can be so near
hold my head
we’ll trampoline
finally through the roof
on to somewhere near
and far in time
velouria
her covering
travelling career
she can really move
oh velveteen!
my velouria, my velouria
even i’ll adore you
my velouria
say to me
where have you been
finally through the roof
and how does lemur skin
reflect the sea?
we will wade in the shine of the ever
we will wade in the shine of the ever
we will wade in the tides of the summer
every summer
every summer
every
my velouria
my velouria
forevergreen
i know she’s here
in California
i can see the tears
of shastasheen
my velouria, my velouria
even i’ll adore your
my velouria
Hear the sound of falling love
As I wonder where you are
Hits the ground with a dead sound
Know you ain’t got far
Too stupid and sissy like
To say that you want out
You make the eyes of a million girls
And think you’ll make them shout
Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound
I used to take you on every time
That sparkle turned to black
I used to drag you through my streets
When you came crawling back
Your cheap words that you bought on sale
Won’t help you through tonight
You make the eyes of a million girls
And think that’s what they like
Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound
And now you go through a million girls
And try to pick what’s right
When nigtfall comes and you’re still alone
Do you feel it deep inside
It’s oh so cold on the other side
Where thoughts can turn you down
You make the eyes of a million girls
But I see no girl around
I play at night in your house
I live another life
Pretending to swim
In your house
I change the time in your house
The hours I take
Go so slow …
I hear no sound in your house
Silence
In the empty rooms
I drown at night in your house
Pretending to swim
Pretending to swim
long ago
and oh so far away
I fell in love with you
before the second show
your guitar
it sounds so sweet and clear
but you’re not really there
it’s just the radio
don’t you remember you told me you love me baby
you said you’d be coming back this way again baby
baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, I really do
loneliness, is such a sad affair
and I can hardly wait
to be with you again
what to say
to make you come again
come back to me again
and play your sad guitar
don’t you remember you told me you love me baby
you said you’d be coming back this way again baby
baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, I really do
don’t you remember you told me you love me baby
you said you’d be coming back this way again baby
baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, I really do
Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their home
And I’m welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn’t ask
Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
No, I haven’t got one
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Kid
Kid what changed your mood
You’ve gone all sad so I feel sad too
I think I know some things we never outgrow
You think it’s wrong
I can tell you do
How can I explain
When you don’t want me to
Kid my only kid
You look so small you’ve gone so quiet
I know you know what I’m about
I won’t deny it
But you forgive though you don’t understand
You’ve turned your head
You’ve dropped by hand
All my sorrow, all my blues
All my sorrow
Shut the light, go away
Full of grace, you cover your face
Kid gracious kid
Your eyes are blue but you won’t cry
I know angry tears are too dear
You won’t let them go
