this story

val is stuck on base and calls me,
i don't want to be there i know
how we gonna make a move, it's come to,
buying nothing, leave it, go...

you caught effects on the side
you want to guess
and it's like this, my wish,
know what's on your mind...
your so delicious,
and so malicious
it's like this, i guess right,
between your eyes...

everybody crowds in couples,
one time could i leave it with you?
surely division lacks of grace,
just carry me back to my own...

everybodie's sinnin',
give out, like you've been given
and i saw only,
what was owed me
crazy was my thinking,
way out past the mischief
and i would find you far, this story goes...

love is poor vision in funny places,
got myself a good look at you
long as i don't raise it too high, maybe,
meet me in the waiting room...

everybody feels like it,
god, you got to deal with it
know your business,
write them from your life
and don't mention too far,
i've got to play it too cool
and round and round this story goes...


someday always comes

glad to kind-admit to know it
long before we had to show it
still might shine before it's gone

big enough to be a cow, boy
dumb enough to try it now, boy

see my fine little friends
when you gonna fly, away
someday, someday always comes

everybody finds a home, and
somehow less inclined to moan, and

ain't nobody calls for prizes
could have been a fine old more-or-less
still might shine before it's gone


...a velvet sun

and i want a velvet sun
and it would shine hello
and it won't be the same,
if we ever say so...

green grass could have graced it
now come back and finally face it
don't define, or offer reason,
i'm coming down from my highest season

i want the whole world to see.
you ran your self into me...

green grass would be wasted
and your smile just seemed so pasted
seems to me we've been two places,
stupid words and ugly faces...


like poverty

thought about you
and the rain it had to
until the clouds could slip away
and I'd never leave
so you could not stay

bored and crazy
everything was maybe
let's take a different point of view
if you'd save my life
then I'd save yours two

disapproving
taking sides and losing
a little more of us each day
if I turned around
then you'd turn away

all the bad days
got drunk and drove the long way
to find lost things got found as well
and we're glad to be
in this show and tell...

so I'm left, gone like poverty


inside a bomb

bury the doubt
kiss the mountain top
breathe with the fault lines' drift,
danny comes up...
found an original sign,
written inside a bomb
finally got started tonight,
should've enjoyed the show...
to hell with mister right,
he died of a need to know...
she's on original time,
so I'm gettin' ready to go...


i don't think so

(instrumental)


east n west

crash down the steps like they're magic
fuck the pain, 'cause pain's never lasted
everything about you was spastic
got to pee, and we're stuck in traffic
life is short for something so graphic,
and we began to finally grasp it...

east and west down boulevards,
dark skies dream, no moon, no stars...
east and west seems just as far,
and we began to finally catch it...

kinda slowly formed a path for it
stopped to goddamn rest, you were laughing
and only fools would wait but who's asking?
'cause surely here's a train that's worth catching
I'm for love, your strictly not much,
and we began to finally touch it...

-love's not much too much too hard
east and west down boulevards,
and we began to go much faster...

days out,
informed and balanced, never,
yes indeed!
days out...

we begin to fight and blister and
love's not much too much too far...
we begin to fight and blister and
she began to go much faster...
and we began to go much faster...


everybody wants to know

god forgive impatience living
never played by never giving

time gathers all,
gonna stay my way, finally gone...

pushing all the way to get there
raining all the way, it's wet there

could've been a fighter,
should've been around...
everybody wants to know,
how to get it down...

who needs somber nations dealing?
you beyond the way to healing...

time gathers all,
gonna stay my way, finally strong...

don't bother,
some jailor,
some guardian,
some tailor,
some yardstick,
some failure,
some hardship,
should've been alright with it...
(and the stars, they shine above...)

could've been a friday
should've been along...
everybody wants to know,
how to get it gone...

call me

sweet talk, truth decays, paint the corners...
backed off, moving slow, start to think...
crowd outside, it's cool, changing tunes...
I'm all, see you later, check your weapons...
panic free, super true, stand up close...
miss your, shakey shots, breathing badly...
- (and) don't you get it?

call me anytime...

it so may be,
or might just found
a simple wish,
restores the earth to ground...
and if i wait,
or would come down...
a simple prayer,
restores the earth to ground...
and wouldn't that be nice?

hand made, solid state, i pick - you're perfect!...
set back, paint it slow, guilty looks...
streetwise, tinkerbell, talk us ugly...
i need, what we need, under counter...
midnight, traffic's light, moving muscle...
...(and) don't you get it?

hey! there's a nudge, a wink, a hope,
a hint, of a chance, then it's over...
hey! there's a tear, a rip, a break,
a hole, in the world, then it's over...
hey! there's a drip, there's a drop, a tear,
a plunge, off the bridge, then it's over...
hey! there's a bust, a bash, a crunch,
a punch, in the gut, then it's over...
then it's over...


try me

it's over, it's better,
it's out of your hands
been waiting, for something,
to crash down or land
it's easy, to burn out,
there's nothing to say...

(so long,
i found out,
it's been nice as well...)

this summer, they'll find out,
I'm broke, out of jail,
all over, the word is,
not thinking too well
it's easy, to crawl out,
the sun's in your eyes...

try me
(no-one's left)
try me
(no-one's right)
trie me
(catch on yet?)
(could've told em'
betch'ya sold em'
very scary,
silence golden...)

it's over, complaining,
has brought down our side
you're waiting, i know this,
I'm stick in your eye
it's easy, to strike out,
so please let this pass...

(panic over, where you go..ahh
rc, tab, and flesh crayola...)

i just might be,
home at last...
I'm walking free,
from my own past...
feels right to me,
so last i laugh.....


feed

comes with a price,
you know, that's good advice
got to me twice,
fucking nice, such good advice

i found a way to the ground,
and this days always mine...
feel like i got all i want,
but i need what is right...

you gotta feed, the fight,
the change, and we will make it happen...

found it dead as a map,
nasty glove 'cross the face
of the gods, I'm a fan,
and i want'a come along

just like a tease,
or a smile on a trap,
i could live, i could talk,
i could play, i could be, what you want...

you gotta feed, the fight, the change,
'cause we can make it happen...
you're gonna need, to fight, to change,
and we will make it happen...


why not?
