I Should
03:18
|
|||
Maybe you have found
A better piece of ground
I'd feel bad if you say you did
And especially if you don't
I know I should be grateful
I should have warned you
I know I should be grateful
I should have warned you
You know I won't forget
How in your eyes the sun set
It's been said to be
That it's just me who
Still revolves around you
I know I should be grateful
I should have warned you
I know I should be grateful
I should have warned you

Sweet Marie Bee
03:32
|
|||
There is a girl
By the name of Marie Bee
The autumn leaves
Are falling for her
They are drifting off to see
Marie Bee, Marie Bee
Just like honey
To the busy bee
Even the sweet magnolia tree
Is not as sweet as she can be
With fingers on the strings
She plays sweetly on my mind
Like the snowy mantle peace
She's gentle, brilliant, soft, and fine
Marie Bee, Marie Bee
Just like sugar to a cup of tea
Even the dwarf blue atlas cedar
She is sweeter, can't you see
(buzzy bee solo)
There is a girl
With a hand upon my heart
But I only see her
In photographic works of art
Marie Bee, Marie Bee
Just like honey to the busy bee
Even the pear tree quite apparently
Has not a sweet a pear as she.

The Words
03:19
|
|||
The light I once saw
Hasn't shown since I saw you
The colors I once knew
Have begun to turn to blue
'Cause the words that you write
They are all I have tonight
And the song that I sing
That is all I have to bring to you
The dress that you wore
Does it cling to you anymore
Or does it wait for you
In a pile upon the floor
In your room, do you cry
Every time you wake up alone
In your room, do you cry
Every time you hang up the phone
The words that we write
They are all we have tonight
And the songs that we sing
They are all we have to bring to life

Halloween & Baby Jesus
01:57
|
|||
We fall in love with our own shadows
Soft and hollow by the moon
By the ants crawling up our knees
They're so ambitious
And oh, so vicious
Halloween and baby Jesus
The deep, dark truth is coming soon
Life itself is but a smoke we breathe
And what exists
But the space between us all
We fall in love with our own shadows
Halloween and baby Jesus
Soft and hollow by the moon
The deep, dark truth is coming soon

The Devil Himself
05:01
|
|||
I've got a secret to tell you
Yes, I've got a secret to tell you
When you close your eyes
The sun won't rise
When you go to bed
The moon is dead
You've been so quiet
Don't deny what you know you are
I can't believe it anymore
But I've gone too far
The devil himself
Couldn't be as happy as you
And mother told me
Always to follow the golden rule
I've got a secret to tell you
Yes, I've got a secret to tell you
When you close your eyes
The sun won't rise
When you go to bed
The moon is dead
You've been so quiet
Don't deny what you know you are
I can't believe it anymore
But I've gone too far
I remembered innocence
I've been guilty ever since

The Road We Go
02:16
|
|||
On the road we go
Lighting it up with a heavy load
Never letting go
Memories snaking make it so
The highway winding up behind her
Cigarette smoke on the balcony
The fold-up Jesus on the futon
Is shaken at the sight of me
Waiting to be born
What made me hang around
What made me hang your tears
Around my neck
Caught up in these dreams
Driving around in the same old scenes
And we never even move
Gaining the ground we are bound to lose
On the road we go
On the road we go
On the road we go

Elizabeth
04:02
|
|||
Elizabeth, I fall for you
A little bit more
Every time I talk to you
I'm a little less unsure
Of what it is I'm falling for
The breeze inside
Has come untied
Now I'm waving wild in the wind
'Cause you're blowing my way
My faraway fair-weather friend
Will I ever see you again?
You caught my eye
With the corner of a kiss
Now I've run out of oxygen
And I've run out of ignorant bliss
Before we begin
Will i ever see you again?
Elizabeth, I'm broken
I'm a worn LP
That should have stayed
Upon your shelf
But I can only sing
When the needle stings
The black heart of me
So I can scream for help
A little bit more

Foxhole
04:26
|
|||
Mmm
Down in my heart
I wait in my foxhole
With an unloaded gun
I am waiting
For the one
To come and find me
Gone are the days
When you were my mirror
Once you were near
Now you're nearer
You are closer
Than you appear
But I wish you were here
My dear

Sunday
03:47
|
|||
Sunday,
You are the little apocalypse
In every week
The small death
Set to the scent of roast dinner
You are the worst day
For worriers
Scholars and sloggers
Sport sick stomachs
Can't conceal
Feeling five days’ weight
Forward lookers fret
Meanwhile glancing back behind
Counting missed chances
From our weekend window
We're wasting
Sunday
Where the present-dwellers
Lounge in slippered feet
Relaxing, basking
In a day of rest
While the rest of us
Grimace in between
Wasted times and
Production lines
The treadmill
And the trampoline
That it’s now too late
To jump on

You Are Mist
02:54
|
|||
Father is mountain
Mother is rain
Brother is hillside
Sister is plain
And you are mist
And I am pine
You are missed
All of the time
You are missed
But what can I do
But look at the blue sky
And think about you
|

Only a Window
02:47
|
|||
Cigarettes burn,
Enemies turn,
Friends want a little too much
I am amused whenever I lose
A goldmine soft to the touch
Look at me this way, I'm only a window
Letting you into the fit of a thimble
Letting you down is easy to do today
Finally found,
Smile is a frown
See how I'm nothing but air
Nothing but fear playing by ear
Please give me something to say
Look at me this way, I'm only a window
Letting you into the fit of a thimble
Letting you down is easy to do

Scared
02:26
|
|||
Why am I so easily wrapped inside
Why am I so sensitive
Why do I fall
Why am I all emotion
Why should I try to care
When I'm scared
You can be so hard to make believe
You can be my enemy
You laugh at me
You have to see me crawling
You make it all seem so fair
When I'm scared
Why do I fall
Why am I all emotion
Why should I try to care
When I'm scared

Debra Lou

|

ooh, debra lou
this song's for only you
'cause i am crazy,
crazy for you,
crazy for you,
debra lou
when we're apart,
my dear debra lou,
i wear this mask
so i don't seem blue,
but deep down i'm crying
crying for you,
crying for you,
debra lou
(chorus)
(instrumental bit)
when we're together,
debra lou my dear,
i wear a smile
stretched from ear to ear,
and year after year,
I'll love you my dear,
i'll love you my dear,
debra lou

I Blame the Lines
01:55
|
|||
I got a little letter in the mail today,
And teardrops started falling on the pages,
And I blame the lines that you wrote to me.
Well, if I seem a sentimental fool to you,
It's only 'cause I'm seeing what words can do,
And I blame the lines that you wrote to me.
Well, I know a man ain't supposed to cry
And I know how to read the signs,
But in such regard,
You caught me off-guard,
And girl, I've got to blame the lines.
What I feel is real and true for you, too.
You wrote me that you love me and I'll write you, too,
And I blame the lines that you wrote to me.
Well, I know a man ain't supposed to cry
And I know how to read the signs,
But in such regard,
You caught me off-guard,
And girl, I've got to blame the lines.
What I feel is real and true for you, too.
You wrote me that you love me and I'll write you, too,
'Bout tears of joy I'm crying just like a baby,
And I blame the lines, I don't mean maybe,
I blame the lines that you wrote to me.

To the Sea
02:50
|
|||
I speak of love within my lips
See the sun a sinking ship
Drowned inside a silent grief
Why's the truth beyond belief
Lying far beneath
Her smile is seizing me
'Cause she told her secrets
To the sea
To the sea
But she
Never told me
Someone's whispering in my ear
Nothing changes what I hear
Waves are waving back at me
Funny, what it does to me
Oh, she's far away
See it haunting me
'Cause she told her secrets
To the sea
To the sea
But she
Never told me
She never ever told me

The Mind Game Song
03:09
|
|||
It's not a break.
We are breaking.
Done am I with the games you're playing
'Cause I am climbing the walls.
You are like giving up smoking
And I am having withdrawals
when I catch your eye
and forget.
It wasn't always bad,
drive-ins under feathers
and the hood of your car,
day drinking in Rhode Island
and sleeping in borrowed beds,
and drunken family gatherings,
riddles for hours
and long distance phone calls.
What are you doing right now?
What are you doing right now?
Two trains and a taxi wastes
this separate space.
Seven years bad luck,
God I miss chlorine soaked summer skin
Seven years driven to distraction
When I let you win
Seven years bad luck,
God I miss chlorine soaked summer skin
and long Laroe drives
asleep at the wheel.
I wanted it so bad,
so bad,
so bad,
so bad,
so bad,
so bad...

Time to Go
03:14
|
|||
You can't buy love
So I was told
Just sell your soul to me
And I might keep you warm
Warm with the fire
From the bridges
You've burned down for me
I fumbled through
The hems of her clothes
And followed my nobody nose
Until I heard
Why the sound doesn't go
With the face of your voice
And so it was time
Time to go
Now I shake time loose
With images by
My unopened eyes of you
When you said
I cry 'cause I'm worth so much
Is that not enough for you
I bask in the glow
Of the teacup, I know
My ambition is small at the most
But still, I hear
I believe in you so
Don't forget what I own
And so it is time
Time to go
