"Moby Octopad" Locked in a kiss, outsiders cease to exist We'll shut it out (of the fist) Outsiders cease to exist We'll shut it out Eight o'clock, the lights are on at Shea Phone turned down, we've nothing much to say Dozing off the TV drones House key makes them turn and glance for home Locked in a kiss, outsiders cease to exist Flayed of the fist Outsiders cease to exist We'll shut it out "Sugarcube" Whatever you want from me, whatever you want I'll do Try to squeeze a drop of blood from a sugarcube Try to be more assured, try to be more right there Try to be less uptight, try to be more aware Whatever you want from me, is what I want to do for you Sweeter than a drop of blood from a sugarcube And though I like to act the part of being tough I crumble like a sugarcube for you Whatever you want from me, whatever you want I'll do I will try "Damage" Not much Friday night, pinball, Lower East Side Walked halfway past and into the bar I used to think about you all the time I would think about you all the time Now it just feels weird, that there you are The damage is done Feeling like a kid again, my eyes are glued to the floor I hope I mumbled goodbye as you walked out the door The damage is done "Deeper Into Movies" I may have been gazing out too late at night I see a deeper window into my eyes Every day they screech outside my window, The crashing cars never seem to collide Sometimes when I'm staring out my window To catch the stars, I watch as they go by I've been getting messages from outer space They expire light in the window in the sky There goes my mind If we dare walk onto my window I could hear them if I open my eyes Sometimes flashing lights seem soulful in the window You may have seen them circle me at night I keep sending signals into outer space They expire by your window in the sky There goes my mind Every day when restlessness takes over me I can't see it as I'm closing my eyes I keep sending signals into outer space They expire light in the window in the sky Sometimes when I'm staring out my window To catch the stars, I watch as they go by I've been getting messages from outer space They expire light in the window in the sky By your window in the sky "Shadows" Scold me, that's all you've got to say Coldly hurt me and turn away You say I'm not sorry that I'm resolved to what is next I head for the shadows Hold me, taking it back in tears You've told me, slowly confessed your fears But I've got myself to protect It's too soon for me to forget I wait in the shadows In the shadows, where I end up loved They help me see that I've finally won We wait in your heart So until I truly believe That your words convey what you mean I wait in the shadows I wait in the shadows I don't mind the shadows "Stockholm Syndrome" What's the matter, why don't you answer What's the matter with me Cause it's so hard to be Free and easy, we'll disappear completely Hardly as I've known it's glad You're heart is broken, and the doors are open As you're hoping to be There's brighter places to see Hands need warning, early in the morning Hardly as I've known a surprise No, don't warn me I know it's wrong, but I swear it won't take long And I know, you know, It makes me sigh; I do believe in love Another season, but the same old feelings Another reason could be I'm tired of aching, summer's what you make it But I'll believe what I want to believe "Autumn Sweater" When I heard the knock on the door I couldn't catch my breath Is it too late to call this off We could slip away, wouldn't that be better Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater I tried my best to hide In a crowded room, it's nearly possible I wait for you, oh, most patiently So I looked for your eyes And the waves looked like they'd pour right out of them I'll try hard, I'll try always But it's a waste of time It's a waste of time if I can't smile easily Like in the beginning In the beginning...
