OFFICIAL LYRIC SHEETS

FOR SPRUCE MOOSE

BAD APPLE

Walked through the doors

Was not expecting more

Was not ready for a war

When she called

Drop off your bag

Said the holy sinner hag

Wasn’t sure if I’d come back

At all

But it’s one bad apple

At the top of the barrel

Of a gun that’s aiming at me

She’s cocked and she’s ready

Couldn’t keep my voice steady

And pretends not to know what I mean

She began to talk

Attacking like a hawk

Voice screeching like chalk

Breaks in my hand

She wanted me dead

For doing what she said

The voices in my head

I couldn’t stand

(Chorus)

Yeah uh huh

Yeah uh huh

Yeah uh huh

Right

Yeah uh huh

Yeah uh huh

We didn’t go down

Without a fight

Struggles to control

Who she thinks an imbecile

Silence I was told

About this tirade

No one ever sees

What happens after three

But I think we can speculate

It was at this time

That I found my true allies

Who brought me back to life

After the battle

Those talking over when we leave

The pathetically naïve

Are led to believe

That she’s infallible

(Chorus)

You know who you are (4x)

   

Gasoline

The day was done

The night begun

As we orbited

Another sun

Some on logs

Some on the ground

Further beyond

Sirens sound

Knew the source

Had to be there

Trudging through

The thick evening air

Four shadows walked

Through the night

To see if they could find a can (of)

Gasoline (3x)

Back to the fire

It was brought

One of the four

Had the thought

We all rose

Began to unload

We came to close

The can explodes

We were scorched by

Liquid hell

One tried to smother

One tried the well

The flames dances

Towards the house

Thwarted by pants

By Levi Strauss

Gasoline (3)

   

Big Shot

I’m kinda pissed

Been on a short leash

For too long

Working hard too long

For you to tell me

I’m wrong

Yeah uh huh (4x)

Cause you’re a big shot (4x)

One day your dictating ways

Will come to an end

And at that time

The cup will be passed again

(Refrain)

   

Loner

Am I a loser

For not breaking down

They get high in their vacuum sky

And leave me standing my ground

The familiar one is back

From the unknown

I am here

But this is really my home

Man you’re on your own (3x)

When you’re on your own

When you’re all alone

When you’re in your zone

Hoping there’s still hope

Gonna take it easy

Maybe I’ll grow my hair long

The crowd will come to me

Not moving if I’m wrong

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Am I a loser

For not breaking down

They get high in their vacuum sky

And leave me standing my ground

Am I a loner

Aren’t we all

2,000 outcasts

Roam the halls

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus) (3x)

   

Not Anymore

The land is not stable no more

It trembles heaves and shakes

Because of the cruel and senseless wars

That haunts the widows they make

The land is not green anymore

In this desolate winter aflame

This sulfuric fog won’t burn off anything

But the life from a man’s name

Not anymore (2x)

The sky isn’t blue anymore

But endless shades of gray

When not filled with the cannons roars

It’s by that of the aeroplane

Man isn’t good anymore

He knows that this is true

Because when he’s not killing himself

There’s nothing for him to do

Not anymore (to finish)

   

Absence

Nothing seems the same

The world changed by a phrase

Go on green, jet on red

It doesn’t matter what she said

She’s gone (4X)

Time is hard to kill

And I’d rather have it dead

If I can’t have it no one will

If I can’t have it no one will

It’s gone (4x)

I’m not myself these days

My body’s here but my heads in space

Maybe it’s just my lack of sleep

Maybe it’s something much more deep

I’m gone (4x)

   

Alright

I can’t seem to pay attention

To anything you say

My mind is gone and I am lost

Somewhere in the fray

All right (3x)

Everything’s gonna be alright

I am so happy

Please don’t move

Now I understand

This stuff is crappy

I am good isn’t life so grand

All right (3x)

Everything’s gonna be alright

All right (3x)

Everything’s gonna be alright

 

Burn

Let it up, let it out

Thats not what its all about

You said to me

I believed everything you told me

I bought and used all the shit you sold me

 

And what it taught me yesterday

And what I was supposed to say

And what i was supposed tto learn

Now I wanted it to burn

 

you told me that you were mine

And now I use the same old line

I gave you everything you could need

And when I needed you you let me bleed

 

Chorus (2x)

 

Fireants

I was born of fireants

I have a fire in my pants

We dont really have home

We just want to be left alone

 

Because were fireants

We dont know any better than what we do

Because were fireants

 

We live beneath a maple tree

We have a warped mentality

We come around to make you sick

And now were gonna come and ruin your picnic

Chorus (2x)

 

The Time Youre on

Seek a peace thats not your own

Turn around and then youre home

The time youre on is not your own

 

Speaking what should be concealed

Feelings cannot be reveled

Playing which cannot be dealed

 

Yeah yeah speak to me in colors

Yeah yeah speak to me in lies

You dont conform to any others

The time youre on is not your time

 

You try and point out what is wrong

Youre unable to sing that song

The road is hard, the day is long

 

What was said was said before

Maybe now, maybe never more

You lock hte key and turn the door

 

Chorus (2x)

 

Mr. Toms Wild Ride

Once I saw a moose

I thought it was great

I thought it was good

Yeah yeah yeah

We went back to my house

And no one was there

So we watched the TV

 

Mr Toms Wild Ride

Mr Toms Wild Ride

 

So there was nothing on

So we went to my room

And we lay on the bed

We took off all our clothes

And we went for a ride

 

Mr. Toms Wild Ride

Mr. Toms Wild Ride

 

Happiness is a warm moose

Happiness is a warm moose

 

Ashes and LAce

Just anotherSunday

Like the one we started on

I knew that something had to be wrong

 

I felt sorry both times

I used you once and then you died

Those were tears you never cry

 

Maybe on the inside its worse

Maybe its not quite as rehearsed

There does remaing the sentiment of ashes and lace

I couldnt see that look opon your face

 

Words of color rise

And tremble to the sky

And stir the echos you leave in your wake

 

chorus

 

Everything dies and crumbes down

Everything falls to the ground

Thats the way you wanted it

With ashes and lace

It all burned down adn put me in my place

 

Chorus(2x)

 

Cigarettes and Suicide

12:01 AM on the fourth of July

A day-glo god was born and lit the sky

And all the poeple left their beds

Drawn by the light

Television had come to them in the night

 

The crowd fell silent in admiration

The flickering light of their salvation

"You are the new neon idol" they cried

Deliver us

Deliver us

Deliver us

Deliver us

From our lives

 

And television did provide

For cigarettes and suicide

And branded slogans into their eyes

Int otheir eyes

Into their eyes

 

Their need for television began to rule their lives

They cut down their homes to build power lines

They would feed their need in any way they can

But little did they know they were all part of the plan

And when death and despair spread liek a cancer

They turned to their oracle for an answer

But the TVs were silent and they gave no light

They died alone

They died alone

They died alone

They died alone

In the night

 

They died waiting for their salvation

On their knees

In desperation

With terror burned into their eyes

Into their eyes

Into their eyes

 

My Song

This is my song

It has no words

Just endless babble

To make your mind turn to mush

(Repeat infinitely)
