--back in the hammock

so you could wipe the smile from my mouth
it to treehouse
well this is mended but less of me
and after i said it and gone
then your heart starts to crave it all
crawling beneath
and you never crawl on my knees
you sped up the pain that bleeds
never let me crawl around you
never let me fall before you
after all i'm the one that claimed you
after all i'm the one that claimed you

now that i took your heart
burning down you know i'll burn you all
crawling beneath
and i hate to love you all
back in the hammock up against the wall
i'm giving up on fighting
and you never crawl on my knees
you sped up the pain that bleeds
never let me crawl around you
never let me fall before you
after all i'm the one that claimed you
after all i'm the one that claimed you
after all i'm the one that claimed you
what about the one that sent you off
after all that made you fall

--xenophobe

i came around again, they say i lost my mind
and you'd know that i was the hardest one to find
so i'm a xenophobe, i'm a car without a mind
speeding a bee line and either or will soar this time
come around again, pretend to be my friend
because i'll be waiting for you, for the hate to end
come around again, pretend to be my friend
because i'll be waiting for you, for the hate to end

xenophobe, he drove a car with rocket fins
and he ate with his hands, he never knew where they'd been
xenophobe, he was in love with her and then
then he hated her, hated all....*
come around again, pretend to be my friend
because i'll be waiting for you, for the hate to end 
come around again, pretend to be my friend
because i'll be waiting for you, waiting for the hate

come around again, pretend to be my friend
because i'll be waiting for you, waiting for the hate
come around again, pretend to be my friend
because i'll be waiting for you
another one to be with you, another one to see with you
another one to be with you, waiting for the hate
another one to be with you, another one to see with you
another one to be with you, to bend and pound and break one more time

*Steve says: "the thing about the "then he hated her, hated allll...." see...Jon doesn't always say "words," sometimes they're just sounds that he has to get out...trust me on this one"

--not fine

western wear and polished hair
talk or stare i'm barely there
you know that i'm secretly not fine
even though my mind's in tow
i rattle off words i barely know
you know that i'm secretly not fine
and you, the one i knew
you were the only one worth talking to
guess i made you mad, better yet i made you
spoke gone through
but i can't recall who to send it to
i'm alright here, secretly not fine

opposite, we're opposite
we could be tired and barely be sick
you know that i'm secretly not fine
even though my mind's in tow
i rattle off words i barely know
you know that i'm secretly not fine
and you, the one i knew
you were the only one worth talking to
guess i made you mad, or better yet i made you
spoke gone through
but i can't recall who to send it to
i'm alright here, secretly not fine

fine enough
fine enough...

when i said i'd
fall to my knees and cry
kinda giving in on something you never know in time
find the one you want
you find out that it's not
find the one you want and you'd say anything, anytime

--barely passing

feel i'm barely passing
this could almost drag me down
my heart, it barely pounds
and breaking in my spine
this could almost drag me down
my heart, it barely pounds
cut me through the middle
i could waste you all this time
walk right off the edge i'm fine
dropping off, you're violent now
this could almost drag me down
my heart, it barely pounds

almost cut in two, broke in two
like i'm half of someone
new to things like you, barely knew
i grow into loved ones
almost cut in two, broke in two
like i'm half of someone
new to things like you, barely knew
i grow into loved ones

--feets

Written by Paul.

frightened of my home, it's good safe to be alone
a message red light blinking, but i don't want to know
stayed in bed all week, left your friends in Phoenix
i gave my heart away, but my belt still fits though
and even though i try, i'm still alone
my decision to leave is always left to the unknown
and the message in the 8-ball says so long

moving out tomorrow, next week i don't recall
i'm gonna miss this place, but i'll miss you most of all
i kept my shorts and shirts, but i'm not a little kid
you said you're coming back, well i'm sorry that you did
even though i try, i'm still alone
my decision to leave is always left to the unknown
and the message in the 8-ball says so long
and the message in the 8-ball says so long
and the message in the 8-ball says i'm scared to be alone
and the message in the 8-ball says so long
+country-ass breakdown+

--communion

i finally got a working sense this time
it's been your fear for years, it's been a crime
and i hide out half the year blocked by the sun
it's alright, we're not hurting anyone
that's fine, we're not hurting anyone
even timing mostly makes it
fine enough i suppose

and we breathe in, cause you never try and run
hiding out is all you've ever done
hiding out just four stops from the sun
and you wonder why we'd ever wanna go
it's alright, we're not hurting anyone
that's fine, we're not hurting anyone
even timing mostly makes it
fine enough i suppose you know it all
fine enough i suppose

on and on like anabuse*, what i mean it feels like self-abuse
on and on like anabuse, what i mean it feels like self-abuse
on and on like anabuse, on and on and on...
it's alright, we're not hurting anyone
that's fine, we're not hurting anyone
on and on like an abuse, on and on like an abuse
but we're all martians now

*Steve says: "its not an abuse, but that's pretty cool, its actually 'anabuse', the drug that alcoholics take that makes them sick."

--lunar

hang on it won't take long now Luna
the scientists they never know the time
fooling us is just like stealing candy
ah, you'll never know, you wake up and it's time
the sun is out, it's just another morning
to the people that bought out at christmas time
but faulty rumors kick you out of heaven
ah, you'll never know, you wake up and it's time

and giving up on people hey that's fine
like the people that bought out at christmas time
but faulty rumors kick you out of heaven-sent
ah, you'll never know, you wake up and it's time
and all of your life, you've been finding ways to hide
you're imitating life, and you'll find that you're find
ah, you'll never know, you wake up and it's time
ah, you'll never know, you wake up and it's time
ah, you'll never know, you wake up feelin' lost you know it's time
-go back to mars-*

Steve says: "the 'why don'cha go back to Mars' thing is a sample from the end of that one Descendents song from 'All'."  I guess that would be Uranus.  Cool.

--blast

Written, sung, and typed by Steven Garcia.

Could you recommend a little somethin'
Somethin' to take it away yeah, I'm sure.
'Cause I'm at the end, just like
Just like everyday yeah, I'm sure.
And a little fun never hurt anyone
And a little fun never hurt anyone.
Its alright, its alright, its alright with you..
Then its alright, its alright, its alright with you.
And I'm sure, and I'm sure it was fine.
I'm sure it was a total blast.
Well it ain't your dough
Go ahead, blow it anyway you feel, I'm sure.
I'm sure you'll find a way, and that's just where I wanna be....
(chorus)
Well its so easy for me, 'cause there's always somethin' else to do.
And its so easy for me 'cause its you, and what you're going thru.
And a little fun never hurt anyone, right?
And a little fun never hurt anyone...
(chorus)
and I'm sure it was so cool
yeah you're so cool...

--breaking down (the first time)
(red lines are sung by Chad Price)

are you alright my dear
are you alright for me
right now i'm trying patiently
right now i'm trying patiently
are we breaking, are we breaking
down are we breaking down this time

well i'll call you up every day
i call you all that i can
understanding everything that i could ever hate
for now i understand, understand
are we breaking, are we breaking
chasing down and almost breaking
are we breaking, are we breaking
down are we breaking down this time

are you alright my dear, are you
are you even in my nightmare
are you, are you afraid of me
right now, right now we shouldn't be
hey well you shouldn't be
almost there, i'm almost scared
i am the hating kind
are we breaking, are we breaking
chasing down and almost breaking
are we breaking, are we breaking
down are we breaking down this time

--truce
written and sung by Steve
thanks to Eric "Educated Idiot" Hinkle for oringally typing these

You were only kidding and I didn't listen.
I only picked up what I thought I was missin'.
and I don't know you all too well.
When you're acting I can't tell.
and I could never take a hint anyway.
So laugh with me or fight with me and then just tell me.
There's a truce and a use and a war that can't be won.
Things in the way and I just keep tripping over.
My parallel bent but I still can't get any closer.
Humor makes it all seem nice.
And I'm a worthless sacrifice.
Fly away again or stand your ground
So laugh with me or fight with me and then just tell me.
There's a truce and a use and a war that can't be won.
And now you can hate me night and day but I'd say that's okay.
With me the jokes never end until we smile from dying once again
So laugh with me or fight with me and then just tell me.
There's a truce and a use and a war that can't be-
laugh with me or fight with me and then just kill me.

--jessica suicide

jessica suicide takes me for a ride
i'm just a crazy one-armed man
strange world, dead girl
die each day or so you say it
how much death can one man stand
how much death can one man stand

i might broadcast your dull eyes
breathless like you i'm despised
and understand i just can't
help but stand up to the old lies
this time she'll do it
too late my bus is leaving
cause i don't care what you have planned
cause i don't care what you have planned

jessica suicide, never even tried
but i gave in to her demands
death threats, regrets
go ahead i heard all you've said
cause bitter always becomes bland
cause bitter always becomes bland
so scared to characterize
i've always loved your cold eyes
and now i fully realize
i just can't take this deadly surprise
this time she'll do it
too late my bus is leaving
i don't care what you have planned
i don't care what you have planned
running on...
i don't care what you have planned for me...

--blue monkey

do you recognize
this pained look in my eyes
it's painful to believe i put you out of mind
and out of sight, it's funny
tell the truth it's too easy to amuse
keeping people at a distance
they'll be your friend, they might pretend, believe it

blue monkey...
you're always strong, and your baby's gone, believe it

do you recognize
this pained look in my eyes
it's painful to believe i put you out of mind
and out of time, it's funny
tell the truth it's too easy to abuse
keeping people at a distance
they'll be your friend, they might pretend, believe it

blue monkey...
you're always strong, and your baby's gone, believe it
it's funny, you're always strong when your baby's gone, believe it
alright boys, rock!

Steve had a little more to say about himself:  "...bass guitar player on this here record (yup, even Blue Monkey) and vocals on Truce and Blast....man i wished i had a second chance to sing that one....i was all sick and it was early and Livermore was beatin' me with a stick.....you know...."
