Pretty Good Year
Tears on the sleeve of a man, don't wanna be a boy today.
I heard the eternal footman bought himself a bike to race.
And Greg, he writes letters, and burns his CD's.
They say you were something in those formative years.
Hold on to nothing as fast as you can.
Well, still, pretty good year. Ah ha, pretty good.
Maybe a bright sandy beach is gonna bring you back, back, back.
Maybe not, so now you're off, you're gonna see America.
Well let me tell you something about America.
Pretty good year. Ah ha, pretty good.
Some things are melting now. Somethings are melting now, well.
Hey, what's it gonna take 'til my baby's alright?
What's it gonna take 'til my baby's alright?
And Greg, he writes letters with is birthday pen.
Sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in.
Lucy was pretty, your best friend agreed.
Well... still pretty good year. Haha... pretty good. Haha... pretty good year.

Bells For Her
And through the life force and there goes her friend,
On her Nishiki it's out of time. And through the portal they can make amends.
Hey would you say whatever were blanket friends.
Can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on its way.
And through the walls they made their mud-pies.
"I've got your mind," I said, she said, "I've your voice."
I said, "You don't need my voice girl you have your own."
But you never thought it was enough of.
So they went years and years, like sisters blanket, blanket girls.
Always there through, through that and this.
There's nothing we cannot ever fix, I said.
Can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on its way.
Hey, can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on its way.
Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls,
Brothers and lovers she and I were.
Now she seems to be sand under his shoes.
There's nothing I can do.
Can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on its way.
Can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on its way.
And now I speak to you are you in there?
You have her face and her eyes but you are not her.
And we go at each other like blank-etts, blank-etts who can't find their,
Their thread and their bare.
Can't stop, can't stop loving. You... can't stop loving.
Can't what is on its way. And I see it coming, and it's on its way.
Past The Mission
I don't believe I went too far. I said I was willing, willing, willing.
She said she knew what my books did not. I thought she knew what's up.
Past the mission; behind the prison tower.
Past the mission; I once knew a hot girl.
Past the mission; they're closing every hour.
Past the mission; and I, I smell the roses.
She said they don't think they know him well.
She knew him better, better, better.
Everyone wanted something from him.
Well, I did too, but I shut my mouth. He just gave me a smile.
Past the mission; behind the prison tower.
Past the mission; I once knew a hot girl.
Past the mission; they're closing every hour.
Past the mission; and I, I smell the roses.
Past the mission; and I, I smell the roses.
Hey, they found a body. Not sure it was his still they're using his name.
And she gave him shelter. Somewhere I know she knows.
Somewhere I know she knows. Some things only she knows.
Past the mission; behind the prison tower.
Past the mission; I once knew a hot girl.
Past the mission; they're closing every hour.
Past the mission; and I, I smell the roses.
Past the mission; behind the prison tower.

Baker Baker
Baker, baker, baking a cake, make me a day, make me whole again.
And I wonder what's in a day, what's in your cakes this time.
I guess you heard he's gone to LA. He says that behind my eyes I'm hiding.
And he tells me I pushed him away, that my hearts been hard to find.
Here. There must be something here. There must be something here... here...
Baker, baker, can you explain if truly his heart was made of icing.
And I wonder how mine could taste. Maybe we could change his mind.
I know you're late for your next parade. You came to make sure that I'm not running.
Well I ran from him in all kinds of ways; guess it was his turn this time.
Time. Thought I'd made friends with time. Thought we'd be flying... maybe not this time.
Baker, baker, baking a cake, make me a day, make me whole again.
And I wonder if he's okay, if you see him say hi.
The Wrong Band
I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band, oh, oh.
Ginger is always sincere, just not to one man, oh, oh.
She called me up and she said, "You know that I'm drowning."
It's the dog trainer again he says that he thinks that she needs more hands.
I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band, oh, oh.
Senator let's be sincere as much as you can, oh, oh.
He called her up and he said, "The new prosecutor,
Soon will be wanting a word," so she's got a soft spot for heels and spurs.
And there's something believin' in her voice again, said there's something believin'.
Instead of just leavin', 'stead of just leavin', instead of just leavin'...
And she gets her cigars from the sweet fat man.
I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band, ow, oh.
Heidi says she'll be sincere as much as she can, oh, oh.
I called her up and I said, "You know that I'm drownin'."
Put on your raincoat again 'cause even the sun's got a price on it.
And there's something believin' in her voice again, said there's something believin'.
Instead of just leavin', 'stead of just leavin', instead of just leavin...
She said it's time I open my eyes, don't be afraid to open your eyes.
Maybe she's right, maybe she's right, maybe she's right, maybe she's right.
The Waitress
(Uhuh... uhuh...) So I want to kill this waitress.
She's worked here a year longer than I.
If I did it fast, you know that's an act of kindness. (Uhuh...)
But I believe in peace, oh I believe in peace bitch.
I believe in peace, oh I believe in peace.
Oh I believe in peace bitch, I believe in peace.
(Uhuh... uhuh... uhuh...) I want to kill this waitress.
(Uhuh... uhuh...) I can't believe this violence in mind.
And is her power all in her club sandwich. (Uhuh...)
Oh I believe in peace, oh I believe in peace bitch.
I believe in peace, oh I believe in peace.
Oh I believe in peace bitch, I believe in peace.
(Uhuh... uhuh...) I want to kill this killing wish.
There're too many stars and not enough sky. (Uhuh...)
Boys all think she's living kindness.
Well ask a fellow waitress...
(Uhuh... uhuh...)
Ask a fellow waitress...
Cornflake Girl
Never was a cornflake girl.
Thought that was a good solution hangin' with the raisin girls.
She's gone to the other side givin' us a yo heave ho.
Things are getting king of gross and I go at sleepy time.

You bet your life it is, you bet your life it is.
Oh honey, you bet your life it's a-
Peel out the watchword, just peel out the watchword.
She knows what's goin' on.
Seems we got a cheaper feel now all the sweeteaze are gone.
Gone to the other side with my encyclopedia.
They must'a paid her a nice price she's puttin' on her string bean love.
This is not really, this-a-this-a-this is not really happening.
You bet your life it is, you bet your life it is.
Oh honey, you bet your life it's a-
Peel out the watchword, just peel out the watchword.

Icicle
Icicle, icicle where are you going, where are you going?
Icicle, icicle where are you going,
I have a hiding place when Spring marches in.
Will you keep watch for me, I here them calling.
Gonna lay down, gonna lay down.
Greeting the monster in our Easter dresses.
Father says bow your head like the Good Book says.
Well I think the good book is missing some pages.
Gonna lay down, gonna lay down.
And when my hand touches myself I can finally rest my head.
And when they say, "Take of his body," I think I'll take from mine instead.
Getting off, getting off while they're all downstairs,
Singing prayers, sing away, he's in my pumpkin PJ's.
Lay your book on my chest, feel the word, feel the word,
Feel the word, feel the word, feel the word, feel it.
I could have, I should have, I could have flown you know.
Well, I could have, I should have, I didn't, so...
Icicle, icicle where are you going,
I have a hiding place when Spring marches in.
Will you keep watch for me, I here them calling.
Gonna lay down, gonna lay down, lay down, I'm gonna lay down.
Cloud On My Tongue
Someone's knocking on my kitchen door, leave the wood outside what,
All the girls here are freezing cold. Leave me with your Borneo.
I said I don't need much to keep me warm.
And don't stop now what you're doing, what you're doing my ugly one.

Space Dog
Way to go Mr. Microphone, show us all what you don't know.
Centuries, secret societies, he's our commander still, Space dog.
So sure we were on something, your feet are finally on the ground, he said,
So sure we were on something, your feet are just on the ground, girl.
Rain and snow, our engines have been receiving your eager call.
There's Colonel Dirty-fishy-dishcloth, he'll distract her good don't worry so.
And to the one you thought was on your side.
She can't understand, she truly believes the lie.
Lemon Pie, he's coming through our commander still,
Space dog, lines secure, Space dog.
Deck the halls, I'm young again, I'm you again.
Racing turtles the grapefruit is winning.
Seems I keep getting this story twisted,
So where's Neil when you need him?
Deck the halls, it's you again, it's you again.
Somewhere someone must know the ending.
Is she still pissing in the river now?
Heard she'd gone moved into a trailer park.
So sure we were on something,
(So sure those girls now are in the Navy.)
Your feet are finally on the ground, he said,
(Those bombs, our friends, can't even hurt you now.)
So sure we were on something,
(And hold those tears 'cause they're still on your side.)
Your feet are just on the ground, girl.

Your feet are finally on the ground, he said,
(Stood with those girls before.)

Girls, girls, what have we done, what have we done to ourselves, yes, mmm...
Hmm Driving on the vine, over clothes lines, but officer I saw the sign.
Thought I'd been through this in 1919.
Counting the tears of ten thousand men and gathered them all, but my feet are slipping.

It's kind of a shame 'cause I did like that dress.
It's funny the things that you find in the rain,
The things that you find, yes...
In the mall and in the date-mines, in the knots still in her hair.
On the bus, I'm on my way down, on my way down,
All the girls seem to be there...
We'll see how brave you are, oh yes.
We'll see how fast you'll be running.
We'll see how brave you are. We'll see...
