TABLE FOR GLASSES
Sweep the dirty stairs, the ones I waited on
This is just for me, I felt it watching her
And it happens too fast to make sense of it, make it last
It happens too fast to make sense of it, make it last
Where do you intend to go with your dirty dress?
Lead my skeptic sight to the table and the light
It happens too fast to make sense of it, make it last
It happens too fast to make sense of it, make it last
Lead my skeptic sight
Lead my skeptic sight
(Lead my skeptic sight)
Not asking of me anything
Saying nothing about what it means
Without anybody telling me
How I should feel
(Lead my skeptic sight)
Not asking of me anything
Saying nothing about what it means
Without anybody telling me
How I should feel
What I should feel
Lead my skeptic sight to the table and the light
LUCKY DENVER MINT
This time it's on my own
Minutes from somewhere else
Somewhere I made a wish
With Lucky Denver Mint
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
Hurry go on ahead
Good things won't let you wait
I'll catch up when we get home
At home I'll leave
A dollar under water keeps on dreaming for me
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
Why can't I learn? (why can't I learn..?)
Why can't I learn, learn, learn?
Learn, learn, learn
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn? (why can't you learn?)
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn? (why can't you learn?)
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn? (why can't you learn?)
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
YOUR NEW AESTHETIC
We're lowering the standard in a process selective
The formula's too thin
But it takes more than one person, so everyone jump on
I'll miss you when you're just like them
Imitate and water down
(Selection breathes on its own)
Before we crash I'll write it out
(Selection breathes on its own)
Make them open the request line
And let selection kill the old
(Take back the radio)
I remember back then thinking easy comes but doesn't stay
What comes easy never stays
But the politics need means and business never leaves
You better sing now while you can
Imitate and water down
(Selection breathes on its own)
Before we crash I'll write it out
(Selection breathes on its own)
Make them open the request line
And let selection kill the old
(Take back the radio)
Sing now, while you can, while you can
Sing now, while you can, while you can
Imitate and water down
Selection breathes on its own
Before we crash I'll write it out
Selection breathes on its own
Make them open the request line
And let selection kill the old
Turn off the radio
But it takes more than one person, so everyone jump on
I'll miss you when you're just like them
BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU WANT
Don't bother going through your motions
Nothing that makes sense ever works out
Don't kid yourself, you know they want money
Well nothing can be good on its own merit
Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing in plastic shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?
Put your trust in simple acts
Make the flyers, get them up all over town
Don't kid yourself, you know it's for money
Please keep in sight what makes you care
You have it always
Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing in plastic shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?
Your camera flash (your camera flash)
On us, meaningless (on us, meaningless)
You cannot waste (you cannot waste) a single night
You cannot ignore a single night
What you ignore is priceless to me
Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing in plastic shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?
A SUNDAY
On a Sunday I'll think it through
On the drive back I'll think it through
What you wish for won't come true
Live with that, with that
And on a Sunday she thought it through
Now as I drive back
There's thiry-six less hours I have to change the course I send myself
Live with that, with that
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
On a Sunday go once around
Because when the rides done, the hopes that you have carried
They fall out from your hands back to the ground
Live with that, with that
They fall out from your hands back to the ground
Live with that, with that
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
Learn as the drugs leave
Learn as you lose it, you will
Learn as the drugs leave
Learn as you lose it, you will
And the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
Yeah the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
Yeah the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday, on a Sunday
CRUSH
Faintest snow keep falling, falling... yeah
Hands around your waste
Nameless, standing cold, standing cold
Like a breath, like a breath
Take in restraint like a breath
My lungs are so numb from holding back
Walk close to the fence, feel it hit your clothes
Turn and smile nice, smile say goodnight, say goodnight
In a breath, in a breath
Simple discourse breaks you clean
Simple discourse breaks you clean in half
Regret
Do try it once and then you know
It's your move
Settle for nothing less again
Again...
Like a breath, like a breath
Like a breath, like a breath
Take in restraint like a breath
My lungs are so numb from holding back
Yeah from holding back
12.23.95
Didn't mean to leave you hanging on
I didn't mean to leave you all alone
I didn't know what to say
I didn't know what to say
Didn't mean to leave you hanging on
I didn't mean to leave you all alone
I didn't know what to say
Didn't know what to say
Merry Christmas baby (Merry Christmas baby)
Merry Christmas baby (Merry Christmas baby)
Merry Christmas baby (Merry Christmas baby)
Merry Christmas...
TEN
We left behind the busy crowd
So it seems we slow down
Meet me with a way out through the lies
Nowhere, going nowhere in the fake yellow light
Blame no one
Blame no one
The feelings change so fast
Safety scares them away
I can't bring myself to say it's my own advice I need
Nowhere and then nowhere, living trapped inside the chase
Blame no one
Blame no one
Would you look in my eyes and
Blame (so blame) no one
Blame no one
Our weekness is the same
We need poison sometimes
Our weekness is the same
We need poison sometimes
So take another drink, with me
Blame (so blame) no one
Blame (blame) no one
Would you look in my eyes and
Blame (blame) no one
Blame (blame) no one
JUST WATCH THE FIREWORKS
Here, you can be anything
Anything that scares you
I think that scares you
I've been here before but only by myself, by myself
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you, now
What giving up gives you
And where giving up takes you
I've had and I've been
Here in center frame, here, there's only air
And just enough space to fit
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you, now
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
I said, said, said but what do I know?
I said, said, said it out loud but it did not help
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
I said, said, said but what do I know?
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
I'll stop now
Just so I can hear you
I stay up as late as it takes, as long as it takes
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you, now
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
I said, said, said but what do I know?
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
Just so I can hear you
I stay up as late as it takes, as long as it takes
I stay up as late as it takes
I stay up as late as it takes
I stay up as late as it takes
As late as it takes
As late as it takes, yeah yeah yeah
I stay up as late as it takes, as long as it takes
FOR ME, THIS IS HEAVEN
The first star I see may not be a star
We can't do a thing but wait
So let's wait for one more
The time such clumsy time in deciding if it's time
I'm careful but not sure how it goes
You can lose yourself in your courage
When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
And the mindless comfort grows
When I'm alone with my great plans
This is what she says gets her through it
If I don't let myself by happy now then when? If not now when?
When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
La la la la... la la la la la
La la la la la
Close my eyes and believe wherever you are, an angel for me
When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round, again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
BLISTER
Take advantage of these times, you said
You let me down, it hasn't been the first time
As I'm falling in the pit of fire
My mind's made up, I'm never coming back here
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States, all alone?
The West coast has been traumatized
I think I'm the only one still alive
Is it just a coincidence
To see you by yourself with no direction?
Now it's time to move on
And don't you know that things aren't getting better
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States, all alone?
The West coast has been traumatized
I think I'm the only one still alive
When the world caves in what are you gonna do?
When the world caves in what are you gonna do for me?
When the world caves in what are you gonna do?
When the world caves in what are you gonna do for me?
Don't try and stop me
Because I'm falling fast into this pit of fire which surrounds us all
In a blanket of fear that I've been wrapped in for years
You can't stop me
When the world caves in what are you going to do for me
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States, all alone?
The West coast has been traumatized
I think I'm the only one still alive
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States, all alone?
The West coast has been traumatized
I think I'm the only one still alive
CLARITY
I'll take your words as if you were talking to me
Say what I know you'll say and say it through your teeth
Now in the deep and down, your heart moves
Now in the deep and down, I don't know how, but I know I want out
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better
I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
And with pride, keep every failure in
And with pride, hold on to the sinking
Now in the deep and down, your heart moves
Now in the deep and down, I don't know how, but I know I want out
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better
I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means us
Stop...
Stop...
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better
I shouldn't, it's not enough
GOODBYE SKY HARBOUR
Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest?
(How could you know just what you did?)
Like all the rest
(How could you know just what you did?)
So full of faith yet so full of doubt, I ask
Again
I shall ask you this once again
He said
I am but one small instrument
(Do you) Do you remember that?
Time and time again you said don't be afraid
"If you believe you can do it"
The only voice I want to hear is yours
Again
I shall ask you this once again
He said
I am but one small instrument
(Do you) Do you remember that?
So here I am above palm trees
So straight and tall
You are smaller, getting smaller
But I still see you
