Young Savages
01:42
|

|
scraped knees
fell hard upon the concrete
i'm thinking now that i never said quite what i meant
long socks
tears falling in the sandbox
young savages
see you again
we aren't friends
i know you're almost gone
i'll be alright
watch yourself when you're lonely
i've never seen you alone like this
i know
sitting in the back
head on your neck
i never wanted to fight

I Don't Know

all my money's running out
my pockets all are empty
give the girls a twist and shout
i got nothing left to sell
sold my body all to science
sold my soul on down to hell
i don't know where i am going
you may have me by the tail
i have got you by the throat
keep your tongue up in your mouth
leave your keys locked in your car
all the trains keep running south
my directions blew away
like some seashells on the shore
leaves swept on november days
i don't know where i am going
i spent too much time from shore
to feel the sea beneath my boat
you know right where you belong
and i keep going out my mind
trying hard to turn my lightbulb on
you kids
keep your good shoes on
i don't know where i am going
you may have me by the tail
i have got you by the throat
i don't know where i am going
i spent too much time from shore
to feel the sea beneath my boat
and you know right where you belong
i'm afraid i don't know how
to keep my eyes on the horizon but enjoy the moment now
i let my heart out of its cage
try to find a way back home if home is still a place

no one knows
at the same time everyone does
no faith
we all know the name
times change
you remain the same
time for you to come with us
i wish i had been with you that evening
even more than you will ever know
though i try i just can't stop believing
even when my head is screaming no
your face
hair across your back
pictures can't make it fact
run back to montana
i wish i had been with you that evening
even more than you will ever know
though i try i cannot stop believing
even when my head is screaming no

June
04:45

i'll wake up when you need me
i'll be there when you fall asleep
if not physically
cliche song lyrics
take on personal meaning
you're still so pretty when you cry
i wish we didn't say goodbye each night
could you check my vital signs?
they're growing weaker with each mile
separating you and i
and i miss you so
days feel like weeks
when you're so far from me
my honeybee hive's without a queen
the baby bird has fallen out the tree
i need you like sunshine
i'm yours and you are mine
but telephone lines
computer screens
cannot bring you closer back to me
could you check my vital signs?
they're growing weaker with each mile
separating you and i
and i miss you so
i swear i'll come back to you this june
i swear i will
baby i miss you
more than any words can say
counting down the days the weeks the months
until you and i becomes us again

The Interstate

i don't wanna wipe this slate clean
you could be the one for me
i don't wanna wipe this slate clean
you're the only one for me
now her basement's all a-flooded
and my shoes are full of holes
kansas city's in the distance
it's in my bones
and in my lungs to sit
hollow and alone
like a circus full of silence
the interstate as of late
seems to laugh at me and say
you'll never hit your mark
you'll never reignite the spark that burned inside her
i arrived
the sun was setting
and our shadows underfoot
merged effortless together
then i awoke
to the sunlight streaming in from oklahoma
i just wanna be beside her
maybe it takes some time
for wounds to heal
tears to dry
can't time move faster
we all say this is life
move on
keep on getting by
but i just want her tonight
in this beat up old toyota
i can feel the miles pass
towns and cities
states and time zones
the broken glass
in ditches
parking lots
discarded and forgotten
i don't want our love to end like that
the interstate as of late
seems to laugh at me and say
you'll never hit your mark
you'll never reignite the spark that burned inside her
maybe it takes some time
for wounds to heal
tears to dry
can't time move faster
we all say this is life
move on
keep on getting by
but i just want her tonight
we're so close
the interstate as of late
seems to laugh at me and say
you'll never hit your mark
you'll never reignite the spark
maybe it takes some time
for wounds to heal
tears to dry
i want her tonight
i just wanna be there

Clocks

clocks don't know what time it is
and i wish that they did
my heart beats
and the empty streets are dark at night for kids
i'm the smile on your mother's face
i'm the joy rising in your throat
and the warmth in outer space
what do you see that makes you believe?
god fell down and hit his head
now i fear that he's dead
the day is long and i'm alone
it's too damn much she said
i'm the silence in your brother's room
i'm the pregnant wife and the heavy-handed groom
what do you see that makes you believe?

Moderation
04:39
|
|||
|
oh moderation
unhealthy adoration fuels me
to ignore you like a crying baby
reruns on tv
please stop the blowing
this balloon's simply growing too big
it'll burst and frighten all the kiddies
i struggle with indifference and bitterness
i hope it's helping
and my friends all had it right
when you called me the other night
it should have been the last time
now what i thought wrong was right
and our hopeful first goodbye
but i know you're holding tight
i just want things to return to how they were back then
now words i write in songs they almost make me sick
but i still sing them though i don't know why
strange commitment to how i felt at the time
sooner or later scales must balance out
i want to talk not whispering or shouts
in the end we start at the beginning again
i fall out of love so you can fall back in

see the trees sway lonesome in the wind
back and forth and back and forth again
i wish we could start over again
outside monsters slumber in their dens
timothy lies restless in his bed
i wish we could start over again
cheers the day we lived in shallow skins
caused to choke the whale that swallowed him
i wish we could start over again
blind but now i see
blood that stains my teeth
the hunger's left me
oh god
oh woe is me
hear his heart beat somewhere in my chest
screams for help on video cassettes
i wish we could start over again
struggling alive inside of me
the monster he swore i'd never be
i wish we could start over again
blind but now i see
blood that stains my teeth
the hunger's left me
oh god
oh woe is me
let your tears fall on his empty grave
as his ghost haunts fields where foxes play
we can never start over again

Clouds
01:46
|

|
the head on my neck's become clearer
the ground underfoot's become nearer
i smile when i look up at the sky
and see it hasn't fallen down yet
love tricks you into believing
she is the reason you're breathing
now she's gone and your heart's beating on
why hasn't it stopped yet
the wound in my chest's not done healing
scribbling to erase the feelings
what most people say when their love's swept away
is that they didn't want it there to start
and i know they're lying to themselves
as they stumble home and spend a drunken night with someone else
they wake up dead with the stains in their beds
empty in their chests and in their heads
and i'll always have the sun on my face
and the clouds making shapes in the sky

Evil Dead
03:45
|
|||
|
two hands on the wheel
monster in the woods watched from the hill
the tennessee border called me
all your best friends sitting in the seats
brother and a sister
got lovers in heat
they're appalled when you lose control
but now we're back on track
waving at the passerby
don't know why we can't go back
oh ashley
lovely is the ring you bought me
from a machine outside the grocery
your eyes squeezed shut
you keep stealing glances at me
now the bad dreams begin
front porch swinging
get out
you locked them in the cellar
they tore us apart
a chainsaw remedy vs. your broken heart
not another peep,
time to go to sleep
all these years they're back again
eyes rolled back inside their heads
these monsters these demons
they are us and we are them
it's never gonna be the same again
these zombies these evil dead
no one makes it out alive

Deus Ex Machina
06:19
|
|||
|
these machines are animals
their monotonous drone
they stagger thru the streets
we'll hide like rats beneath
i'll sit and watch soap operas
as the sky sets fire around us
the morning we will wake
the strength drained from our frames
to find our homes in flames
the sun won't rise again
paint your face and forget your name
we'll live like granddad did
shit like this can never change
crawl back in the womb again
save us
and the god machines will speak
cower at their feet
blinds mistakes we made will haunt us in our graves
paint your face and forget your name
we'll live like granddad did
shit like this can never change
crawl back in the womb again
let's de-evolve
run back to the oceans we crawled out of
whoa oh
