.under the pink.

*pretty good year*
Tears on the sleeve of a man
don't wanna be a boy today
heard the eternal footman bought himself a bike to race
and Greg he writes letters
and burns his CDs
they say you were something
in those formative years
hold onto nothing as fast as you can
well still
pretty good year

Maybe a bright sandy beach is gonna bring you back
may not
so now you've off you're gonna see America
well let me tell
you something about America
pretty good year
some things
are melting now
well what's it gonna take till my baby's
alright

and Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen
sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in
Lucy was pretty
your best friend agreed
well still pretty good year



*god*
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through

You make pretty daisies pretty daisies
love I gotta find what you've doing about
things here a few witches burning gets a little toasty
here I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
tell me you've crazy maybe then then I'll understand
you got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case
heard you've gone south well babe you love your new 4 wheel
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows

Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
will you even tell her if you decide to make her sky





*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 we're blanket friends
can't stop what's coming
can't stop what's on its way

and through the walls they made their mudpies
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 girls always there
through that and this there's nothing we cannot ever fix I said

can't stop what's coming can't stop what's 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's 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 ettes
who can't find their thread and their bare

can't stop loving can't stop what is on its way
and I see it coming and it's on its way





*past the mission*
I don't belive I went too far
I said I was willing she said
she knew what my books did not
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 I smell the roses

She said they all think they know him well
she knew him better
everyone wanted something from him
I did too but I shut my mouth
he just gave me a smile

Hey they found a body
not sure it was his but they're using his name
and she gave him shelter
and somewhere I know she knows
something only she knows





*the wrong band*
I think it's perfectly clear
we're in the wrong band
Ginger is always sincere
just not to one man 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
Senator let's be sincere as much as you can
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'



And she gets her cigars from the sweet fat man
I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band
Heidi says she'll be sincere as much as she can
I called her up and I said you know that I'm drowning
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'

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*
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

But I belive in peace I belice in peace Bitch
I belive in peace

I want to kill this waitress I can't belive
this violence in mind and is her power
all in her club sandwich

I want to kill this killing wish they're too many
stars and not enough sky Boys all think she's
living kindness ask a fellow waitress
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 kind of gross
and I go at sleepy time
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is

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 musta paid her a nice price
she's puttin on her string bean love
this is not really happening
you bet your life it is

Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl and the man with the golden gun
thinks he knows so much
thinks he knows so much
Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl



*icicle*
Icicle, Icicle, where are you going?
I have a hiding place when spring marches in
Will you keep watch for me I hear 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
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 p.j.'s
lay your book on my chest
feel the word feel the word
feel the it

I could have I should have
I could have flown you know
I could have I should have
I didn't so




*cloud on my tounge*
Someone's knocking on my kitchen door
leave the wood outside
all the girls here are freezing cold
leave me with your Borneo
I don't need much to keep me warm

don't stop now what you're doing,
what you're doing, my ugly one
bring them all here, hard to hide a,
a hundred girls in your hair
it won't be fair if I hate her,
if I ate her you can go now

You're already in there
I'll be wearing your tattoo
you're already in there

Got a cloud sleeping on my tongue
he goes then it goes and
kiss the violets as they're waking up

leave me with your Borneo
I said leave me the way I was before

You're already in there
I'll be wearing your tattoo
I'm already in circles and circles and circles again
the girl's in circles and circles and circles again
got to stop spinning
circles and circles and circles again
thought I was over the bridge now

*spacedog*
Way to go Mr. Microphone
show us all what you don't know
centuries secret societies
he's out 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 recieving
your eager call
there's Colonel Dirtyfishydishcloth
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 those girls now are in the Navy
those bombs our friends can't even hurt you now
and hold those tears cause they're still on your side
don't hear the dogs barking
don't say you know we've gone

Andromeda stood with those girls before the hair in pairs
it just got nasty and now those girls are gone



*Yes, Anastasia*

I know what you want the magpies have come
if you know me so well then
tell me which hand I use Make them go make it go
Saw her there in a restaurant Poppy don't go I know
your mother is a good one
but Poppy don't go I'll take you home show
me the things I've been missing show me the ways I
forgot to be speaking show
me the ways to get back to the garden
show me the ways to get around the get around show me
the ways to button up
buttons that have forgotten well we can't
have that forgetting that
girls girls what have we done to ourselves
driving on the vine over clothes
lines but officer I saw the signs thought I'd been through this
in 1919 counting the years of ten thousand men and gathered them
all but my feet are slipping there's something we left on the windowsill
there's something we left yes
We'll see how brave you are we'll see how fast you'll be running we'll see how
brave you are yes, Anastasia and all your
dollies have friends
Thought she deserved no less than she'd give well
happy birthday her blood's on
my hands 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 in the mall in the date-mines in the knot
still in her hair on the bus on my way down all the
girls seem to be there
Come along now little darlin' come along now with me
come along now little darlin'
we'll see how brave you are
