nope, enlighten us.......

last week i had the strangest dream
where everything was exactly how it seemed
where there was never any mystery
of who shot john f. kennedy it was
just a man with something to prove
slightly bored and severely confused he
steadied his rifle with his target in the center
and became famous on that day in november

don't wake me i plan on sleeping
don't wake me i plan on sleeping in
don't wake me i plan on sleeping
don't wake me i plan on sleeping in

then last night i had that strange dream
where everything was exactly how it seemed
where concerns about the world getting warmer
people thought they were just being rewarded
for treating others as they like to be treated
for obeying stop signs and curing diseases
for mailing letters with the address of the sender
now we can swim any day in november

don't wake me i plan on sleeping
don't wake me i plan on sleeping in
(now we can swim any day in november)
don't wake me i plan on sleeping
don't wake me i plan on sleeping in

don't wake me i plan on sleeping in
don't wake me i plan on sleeping
oOo oOo oOo

[Best Friend] It's been 10 days
It shouldn't last this long
The doctors' mystified
Nothing's physically wrong...

[Wife] But maybe inside his head
He's struggling to survive
Would it help if we talked to him?
Bring him back to life...

[Best Friend and Pride] Do you remember that time
We were showing off our brand new flashy bikes
[Wife and Love] You looked so fine
Until you both fell over and then started to cry!
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you recall that day
Fearlessly we climbed the highest tower
[Wife and Love] Then you became afraid
Too scared to climb down you stayed up there for hours!
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you remember that time?
[Wife and Love] Do you recall that day?

[Wife and Love] Do remember that time
Alone at last, naked by the fire
[Best Friend and Pride] Then all your friends came by,
They rushed in the room and you had no time to hide
[Wife and Love] Do you recall that day,
You proposed to me fell down to your knee
[Best Friend and Pride] You didn't know what to say,
So she knelt down too, for she thought you'd lost your keys!
[Wife and Love] Do you remember that time?
[Best Friend and Pride] Do you recall that day?

[Passion] Can you see her light
Shining through the black
She's reaching out to you
What's holding you back?

[Reason] Can you feel her warmth
Glowing on your skin
Don't repress the memories
Let them all in...

[Ksyrup]

Carrying your ashes from bar to bar
I'm in a mess & you're in a Mason jar
With you under my arm like a football
I'm not ready to let go & that is all
You were never big on conversation
And that hasn't changed since your cremation

And I feel most times like you do
You know I feel most times like you do
I wish that I was hardnosed
Fight a forest fire with a garden hose
And be brave enough right now to start on something new

You were right there in the urn, light as a feather
If my hands weren't shaky I'd glue you back together
This watering hole was our favourite stop
So I'll take off the lid and pour a drink down the top, for you
And I'll pull down on that magic lever
That makes it stay the past forever

And I feel most times like you do
You know I feel most times like you do
Someone's stabbed my voodoo doll
Now it hurts each time that nature calls
And you're lucky that nature's finished calling out to you

You were down to your very last little belt loop
But you were tougher than a pitbull in the paratroops
And if you're afraid of getting hurt, you suffer more ills
Like the hypochondriac who dies choking on his pills
So I should swallow really hard & deal with this pain
Cause I'm as wasted as a neatfreak in a hurricane

And I feel most times like you do
You know I feel most times like you do
I thought I was the one that died
And this was heaven's weird amusement ride
But you pinched me in the dream & I saw it wasn't true...

So now I'm dumping your ashes on the floor
And we'll laugh as people slip on you while coming in this door
And I'll drink on what you said to stop my feet draggin'
"No one dog's bark should ever stop the wagon."

[TLK]

A deep dark secret down at the bottom
But this bay can't keep it unforgotten.
And a story that was told has now grown taller than we'd ever wish to be
Beyond belief...

I'll grab the boat if you go grab the anchor,
The tarp and twine and the weights that sank her.
They weren't enough look who showed up
A new light shed is shining through. Illuminating you as we lay

Side by side, dead and broken
Our lives aren't the same since the night yours went stolen.
Blood ran black beneath the moonlight. Your lover's blood ran cold,
Cutting off the hands he used to hold.

A deep dark secret down at the bottom
But this bay can't keep it unforgotten.
And a story that was told has now grown taller than we'd ever wanna be
Beyond Belief...

Side by side, dead and broken
Our Hearts aren't the same since the night yours went stolen.
Blood ran black beneath the moonlight. Your lover's blood ran cold,
Cutting off the hands he used to hold.

We used to hold.

[korme]

Well I'm blowing smoke out of your window
And you're slipping back into your dress
You know you were always such a lady
I've always been impressed

But gentlemen
They don't ask questions
Just keep quiet
She'll pay attention
Gentlemen don't ask questions
We could pay attention

I said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."
Said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."

Well I pictured you in blue
But I have to say I'm more partial to the red
Deep, dark, and devastating
Leaving no question as to where you've been

I calm the crowd by keeping quiet
Move like a shadow up to your matress
Gentlemen don't ask questions
We could pay attention

Do you think he'd be better ('Cause we're down for competition)
Doing what I do best?
Do you think he'd be better (This could all be on purpose)
Doing what I do best?

I said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."
Said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."

Do you think he'd be better
Doing what I do best?
Do you think he'd be better
Doing what I do best?

Do you think he'd be better ('Cause we're down for competition)
Doing what I do best?
Do you think he'd be better (This could all be on purpose)
Doing what I do best?

I said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."
Said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."

Said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."
Said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."

[TLK]

She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed
And can she take me for awhile
And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
But maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend
We're here and now, but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again
She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools who fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'Til I break at the bend
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away...
Guess I'll let it go

[mckerney]

Can you still remember
How it seemed that we could live forever in a lovers dream?
And falling was the best part
But now you know the things you cling to
Your heart can start to grow.

You, you're walking away.
I've been there now I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday.

A silly little love song for myself.
It's all I ever do you know I shine the shell.
A pretty little picture, the face of you.
You were my setting sun and now you're every view.

[Ksyrup]

Oh its so hard to believe
Like a bad dream you cannot wake from
Cause we used to sing songs together and weather the changes that come

If life apart is impossible
And I know anything's possible
We'll wait five years and meet on the very spot we once called home

And I went from passionate lover to father and brother to her
And she kept her magic from me for what seemed like an eternity

If life apart is impossible
And I know anything's possible
We'll wait five years and meet on the very spot we once called home

Now you have got to understand we had dropped each other's hand so long ago
And sunk into a deep despair nobody in love should ever know or feel
It's sad but only in the sense we were young and innocent back then

And we were a story book couple the kind of stuff dreams are made of
Yeah living proof that love exists we could have inspired you
But something failed in our master plan
And far away our happiness ran
It took so long to see what I'd never really seen before

Now you have got to understand we had dropped each other's hand so long ago
And sunk into a deep despair nobody in love should ever know or feel
It's sad but only in the sense that we were young and innocent back then

I never once towards the end saw the friend that she could have been
And she was too angry to see all the patience she needed from me

If life apart is impossible
And I know anything's possible
We'll wait five years and meet on the very spot we once called home

Now you have got to understand we had dropped each other's hand so long ago
And sunk into a deep despair nobody in love should ever know or feel
It's sad but only in the sense we were young and innocent back then
And if there is a change of heart let me introduce you to the plan

[VPI97]

They love me like I was their brother
They protect me, listen to me.
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine, made me happy
nice dream, nice dream
Nice Dream

I call up my friend the good angel
But she's out with, her answer-phone.
She says that she'd love to come help but
The sea would electrocute us all
nice dream, nice dream
nice dream, nice dream

Nice dream, if you think that you're strong enough
Nice dream, if you think you belong enough
Nice dream, if you think that you're strong enough
Nice dream, if you think you belong enough

(Now come home, now come home)
(Now come home, now come home)

nice dream, nice dream
nice dream, nice dream

[korme]

We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious
That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
That's why I'm instrumental
Vibrations is what I'm into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I'm talking to you, my many inspirations
When I say I can't, let you or self down
If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped down the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
I would never, ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love
That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out

[Frozenrope]

And if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
and I'll go chasin' the nuns out in the yard
and I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
and I will never need umbrellas in the rain
I'll wake up in strawberry fields everyday
and the atrocities of school I can forgive
The happy phantom has no right to bitch

Oo who- The time is getting closer
Oo who- Time to be a ghost
Oo who- Everyday we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will we pay for who we've been

So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
They'll be my ticket to the universal opera
There's Judy Garland taking Buddha by the hand
and then these seven little men get up to dance
They say Confucius does his crossword with a pen
I'm still the angel to the girl who hates to sin

Oo whoo- The time is gettin closer
Oo who- The time to be a ghost
Oo who- Everyday we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I've been

Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back
You found a girl that you could truly love again
Will you still call for me when she falls asleep
or do we soon forget the things we cannot see

Oo who- The time is getting closer
Oo who- The time to be a ghost
Oo who- Everyday we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been

And if I die today
And if I die today
And if I die today
Chasin' nuns out in the yard

[Ksyrup]

Please, mom, tuck my football comforter in stove
warm. Gloss photo Jaworski. I'll sleep dreams boy
seven. Destroying surface mars. Camping T. Ben
Johnson. Cub scout tames autumn Michigan. We'll
sleep, troop eleven catching snipes. Flashlight.

Jane's kissing my blushing cheek. I'll learn. Only
ten years later cursed to see me lay dead. Dumbest
fatality. Auto crash. She could do anything except save
me.

Kindergarten leisure suit. Brother, stitches tin can
thrown cuts. I'll sleep lofty tree fort. Shot my pellet
gun. Dad, two sons fish turtle lake. Blue gills caught
below the damn line. We'll sleep. Small tent
campground. Watch the heat lightning.

Jane's wearing my class ring. I'll learn. Sixteen.
Driver's license. Car. She'll breathe me dead. Dumbest
fatality. Turned too late. They could do anything except
calm her.

Now it's time to fly. Celebration. Triumphant.
Jubilation. Atheist.

M-66 faint sirens. I'm left eating my steering wheel.
I'll sleep. Worms will listen. Worms underground.

Whisper softly drowsiness. My turn. Tribute should
be drunk and pissed off, my friends. Dead. Dumbest
fatality. Burn the husk. If you do anything, think fondly
of me.

[mckerney]

Hip hop has blown my mind
John Cash has done his time
When you and I were in the weeds drinkin wine
With that English singer and your hip hop thighs
From guns on the roof to the acid jazz
To the reels and rhymes of that Gaelic trash
Dancin with the ex-lead singer of the Clash
Guns on the bar and his hands on your American ass

[TLK]

Ooooooh - stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me

Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind

Way out in the water
See it swimmin' ?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind
Where is my mind
Where is my mind

Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

[VPI97]

While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance

And this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
My body is floating down the muddy river

[TLK]

I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't lie
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi
New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel 11
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
And there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry
But at the right place at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place at the right time
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for anyone but me
Your private eye

[VPI97]

You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through

It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied

It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell

You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

[TLK]

I've got a book of matches
I've got a can of kerosene
I've got some bad ideas involving you and me
I don't blame you for walking away
I touched myself had thoughts of flames
I shat the bed and laid there in it
Thinking of you wide awake for days
Wide awake for days

And I found you tongue-tied in my twisted little brain
You couldn't crack a smile
I didn't catch your name
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
In four short steps we can erase this

Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
I swear to God it's not contagious

Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop off at Lake Michigan and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

This could be love - love for fire
This could be love - love for fire
This could be love - love for fire
This could be love for fire forevermore

Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop off at Berkeley Marina and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
One by one

[VPI97]

That there, that's not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah, it's gone

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here....

[TLK]

I thought that you were joking
When you said you couldn't breathe
You said you couldn't breathe
Turns out that you were choking
On a town you couldn't leave
You knew you'd never leave
It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old
You were only 8 years old
From then on there was no removal
From that one way dead end road
That one way dead end road

I thought that you were laughing
When you cried your eyeballs out
You cried your eyeballs out
And i don't mean to be prying
But what were you so sad about
What are you still sad about
Met your disappointment at the age of 9 years old
You were only 9 years old
From then on there would be no ointment
To take away these burns
To make that pain grow dull and forever ain't that long
When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song
All you think about is death
Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now
For way too long now

I thought that you were sleeping
When i found you there in bed
I found you there in bed
When i touched you you were freezing
It turned out that you were dead
It turned out that you were dead
It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old
You were only 8 years old
From then on there was no removal
From your fucked up head and your broken home and forever ain't that long
When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song
All you think about is death
Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now
For way too long now
For way too long now
For way too long now

[VPI97]

Are you hungry?
Are you sick?
Are you begging for a break?

Are you sweet?
Are you fresh?
Are you strung up by the wrists?

We want the young blood

Are you fracturing?
Are you torn at the seams?
Would you do anything?
Flea-bitten? Motheaten?

We suck young blood
We suck young blood

Won't let the creeping ivy
Won't let the nervous bury me
Our veins are thin
Our rivers poisoned

We want the sweet meats
We want the young blood

[TLK]

emma appeared like an angel
emma fell like rain
into my lap like a heart attack
like lightning from her name
im running dry of bad excuses
don't wanna lie or seem intrusive
but time hasn't told me anything
and neither has she

a pointsettia in poison rain
traded true love for insult and injury
we washed it down the drain
with one silver bullet and two vicodin

emma woke up in darkness
suitcase already packed
note on the bedstand signed in blood
'sincerely never coming back'
a nightmare on my street the day she arrive
a nightmarish househole in which she died
cause it made her feel at home
somehow made me feel at home

a pointsettia in poison rain
traded true love for insult and injury
we washed it down the drain
with one wooden stake to the heart and two vicodin

a pointsettia in posion rain
traded true love for insult and injury
we washed it down the drain
with one silver bullet and two vicodin
we watched the sun fall crown
on a city that sleeps in a world upside down
a slow ticket straight out of town
you went out with a bang when you took
with you all my dreams underground
with you all my dreams underground
with you all my dreams underground
with you all my dreams underground

[cthomer5000]

*working off of running, nightmare, silver bullet I'm thinking 'monster'...

She had an horror of rooms
she was tired
you can't hide beat
When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home

She could've been a killer
if she didn't walk the way she do,
and she do
She opened strange doors
that we'd never close again

She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean

Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared

She asked me to stay
and I stole her room
She asked for my love
and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now she's stupid in the street
and she can't socialise
Well I love the little girl
and I'll love her till the day she dies

She wails
Jimmy's guitar sound
jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean

Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared

Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared

Run, Run, Run

[TLK]

(an old *wink wink* classic.... off the jealousies line... )

Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
She took my heart
There's only one thing I couldn't start

[Ksyrup]

That's luck, she led, we should be dead
We eyed the wreck. Good god, we said
She plants one kiss, for the road, on my chest
Sirens came after we left

Christine, come crash on my floor

That's life, she said, we should be dead
We should be stars and perfect tens
And that's just three off the top of my head
Once again, you're a godsend

Christine, come crash on my floor

That's true, she said, we should dead
I should be sleeping in your bed
Instead, I'll crash on your floor

Christine, come crash on my floor

[korme]

Shut out, pimpled and angry.
I quietly tied all my guts into knots.
Gave up on trying to make them,
I figured it'd take them too long to look up and besides...

It was undeniably clear to me i don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew what worthless dregs we've always been.

Lucked out and found my favorite records
Lying in wait at the birmingham mall.
The songs that i heard,
The occasional book
Were the only fun i ever took.
And i got on with making myself.
The trick is just making yourself.

But when they're parking their cars on your chest
You've still got a view of the summer sky
To make it hurt twice when your restless body
Caves to its whims
And suddenly struggles to take flight...

Three thousand miles north east
I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads.
"what kind of life you dream of? you're allergic to love."
Yes i know but i must say in my own defense
It's been undeniably dear to me, i don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew the worthless dregs we are,
The selfless, loving saints we are,
The melting, sliding dice we've always been.

[MrBug708]

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say,
"Please share my umbrella."
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
under my umbrella.

All that summer we enjoyed it,
wind and rain and shine.
That umbrella we employed it.
By August, she was mine.

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop.
Sometimes she'd shop,
and she would show me what she'd bought.
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane.
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same.

That's the way the whole thing started.
Silly, but it's true.
Thinking of a sweet romance
beginning in a queue.

Came the sun the ice was melting,
no more sheltering now.
Nice to think that that umbrella
led me to a vow.

That's true, she said, we should dead
I should be sleeping in your bed
Instead, I'll crash on your floor

Christine, come crash on my floor

wow... AC Newman?

[Ksyrup]

Damn straight! Slow Wonder is a top 10 album for me so far this year (and the year is almost over...).

[Ksyrup]

This is from another top 10 nominee, Ken Stringfellow's (ex-Posies) Soft Commands:



On this side a man, his hand on the free world
An army at his command
Driving to the make-out point on the shores
Of the lake of the Damned
And we say "Ain't love grand?"

When you find someone who loves you like that
You want them back in your life

He calls from the car
He speaks through a speechwriter
Trying to sound less needy
Hoping to hear "I'd love you to lead me"
"Show me your strengths and
I'll show you what surrender can be"

When you find someone who loves you like that
You want them back in your life

"If I have to burn the world to get your attention
Don't make it tempting, don't make it tempting"
"We'll be together, someday, I know this
I promised it to myself
Playing old records over and over
High
On a mountain somewhere
Breathing in that desert air, somewhere, where
No one can touch us
Sharing a dream as a prisoner screams
Hands on the switch as we throw it - together"

When you find someone who loves you like that
You want them back in your life

[korme]

Half smoked cigarettes and you're the trash that infests my sheets
can't make a wife out of a whore, don't want your skin on me
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust
A de-tox in the cold sweat of shame
and I love your pain

I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on a dusty shelf

So this love's been worn down, like songs on a tape
The sex has lost all of its fun, like gum loses taste
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust,
A de-tox in the cold sweat of shame
and I love your pain

I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on the shelf

I'm here lying in your bed babe
Remember what you said to me
"You can be my james dean, I'll be your sweet queen"
I said that you were my first, but you weren't even close now
Like a frame in a movie, you're just one of many
Can you grant me one last wish
Play russian roulette as we kiss
I'll be your cheap novelty
Blow your brains out on me

I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on the shelf

[revrew]

Golden bars of sunlight come sneaking through the shutters
Laying stripes on my back like a zebra.
Sweaty fingers turning pages
And clinging to the bedlight
"It's a bride, and I never want to leave her"

Paul calls me a saint,
And the mattress shakes with laughter
While the sheets let out a chuckle,
And the pillow holds one in.

I don't believe a word I read
But the man is so convincing
Says he's callin' me a winner of a game I never win.
But with every word I read I feel your eyes upon me
And I don't mind at all

I love the way you look at me,
The way you turn your eyes to see the bride beneath the harlot's skin
The virtue underneath the sin
I love the way you look at me
When you lift the veil and you repeat your vows

Step out of the shower
Wash and scrub and scour every part
As if a cleaner man could better bear the shame
I step out into the sunlight,
A frightened fool, there's reason for my fright
For I'm a messenger whose forgotten why he came

But with every step I take I feel your eyes upon me
And I don't mind at all

I love the way you look at me,
The way you turn your eyes to see the bride beneath the harlot's skin
The virtue underneath the sin
I love the way you look at me
When you lift the veil and you repeat your vows

For when you look at me
You see every drop of blood you spent
Like the color that comes creeping to my face
It such sweet embarrassment
To see the dowry that you paid
For my cold embrace
But I'll never, never, never let you go because

I love the way you look at me...

[TLK]

Ive got a book of matches
Ive got a can of kerosene
Ive got some bad ideas, involving you and me
I don?t blame you for walking away
I touch myself at thoughts of flames
I shat the bead and layed there in it
Thinking of you, wide awake for days
Wide awake for days
And I found you tounge tied
My twisted little brain
You couldnt crack a smile
I didnt catch your name
I don?t blame you for walking away
Id do the same if I saw me
I swear it?s not contagious
Four short steps we can erase this

Step one, slit my throat
Step two, play in my blood
Step three, cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing
Out of the house
Step four, stop at lake michigan and wrinse your crimson hands

You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldnt meet them so you cut off my fingers
One by one
One by one
Im like a broken record
Ive got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alchohol iv
I don?t blame you for walking away
Id do the same if I saw me
I swear it?s not contagious
I swear to God it?s not contagious

Step one, slit my throat
Step two, play in my blood
Step three, cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing
Out of the house
Step four, stop at berkley marina and wrinse your crimson hands

You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldnt meet them so you cut off my fingers
One by one

This could be love
(love for fire)
This could be love
(love for fire)
This could be love
For fire, for ever more

Step one, slit my throat
Step two, play in my blood
Step three, cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing
Out of the house
Step four, stop off at pittsburg peir and wrinse your crimson
hands

You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldnt meet them so you cut off my fingers
One by one
One by one

Drip strawberry juice. Open shutters. Death birds.
Elated. Elected. Universe. Sedative vein. Whole grain
layered. Brightest sunshine. Brightest day. Spills the
kitten's milk. Cuts my hands. I place the knife to the
ham of her face. Her face.

Say you have to die and I'll keep cutting. Say you
have to die and I'll keep cutting you. It's a magic world.
Swim erratic in the water. Thick as gelatin. No skin.
No skin.

Mick my friend. Some day our understanding will
be described as lovers swapping lies. As how man and
dog relate. I'm under the table. Drop the plate.

Butterfly. Maggot.

Do you remember the story of the boy and his first date?
She took him to the lake and he fell in love
She spent one summer waking up between his arms
She told him how good that felt, told him he was the one

And then she went away, his calls were not returned
He went to see her
but her eyes were burning a different stare
The focus was somewhere else
And that feeling had somehow disappeared

Do you remember when they both drove out of state?
Stealing kisses behind her cousins back,
with a love so strong tell me who could wait
When it seems so right and it feels so right
Man, it had to be right
When it seems so right and it feels so right
Man, it had to be right
gotta be right

When it seems so right and it feels so right
Man, it had to be right
But then she went away and she's not coming back
and I'm pretty sure that boy is staying in tonight

[Ksyrup]

Nobody told me, guess I could've just asked how you were, how you were
It seems like forever since you told me you dropped out of school
And came back to the west where they say life's the best

And I haven't heard a thing about the boy
No I haven't heard a thing about the boy
Though I try to understand this
I don't know what it is
Cause I haven't heard a thing about the boy

I tried to remember you and me and how it was way back then, before him
With morning come the birds, with birds come the light
Au revoir, adios, good night, sweet night

And I haven't heard a thing about the boy
No I haven't heard a thing about the boy
Though I try to understand you
I don't know who you are
Cause I haven't heard a thing about the boy

Good night, sweet night
Good night, sweet night
Good night, sweet night
Good night, sweet night

[TLK]

You were like a toilet bowl at the end of the rainbow
Something like a pot of gold stuck under my pillow
Keeping me up at night you kept my head spinning
And wishing there were windows to throw you from
Throw you from
Day or night
Fuck if I know
Hard to tell with no fucking window
And sundials
What good are sundials once the sun is gone?
What are you good for?

And we laid in my bed like a train wreck
And we both got laid like concrete
And we fought like soldiers
But we died.. we died like flies
Day or night
Fuck if I know
Hard to tell with no fucking window
And sundials
What good are sundials once the sun is gone?
What are you good for?

[mckerney]

I got a letter today
An invitation
And the writing looked like you
Hello how are you and by the way
Please RSVP I do

I thought of writing sad words of how it used to be
But I didn't want to bring you down
I guess the bells will ring pretty well there without me
Don't worry 'bout me baby I'll wear the thorny crown
I will play the clown

If you think that I don't love you, you're just wrong
And that don't matter now anyway
I couldn't bear to see you up there
with a white dress on
Here's my vow to you
I'll stay away

I remember when in a lover's whisper you said
No other man would ever share your bed
Well we both know that's not been so
And I wish I'd never let you go now
You found a better man instead

I wish you health and wealth and a white house on the hill and I
I hope you raise a family
Little boy and a little girl, a little more joy in this little old world
Well, that'd be enough for me

If you think that I don't love you, you're just wrong
And that don't matter now anyway
I couldn't bear to see you up there
with a white dress on
Here's my vow to you
I'll stay away

Time rolls on
And dreams they die
And I've thrown out the pictures I had of you and I
And if you're ever wondering if love can be true
Well, think of me remember darling like I, like I do

Ole friendships fade away, love falls apart
But you've not spent a single day outside my heart
And there's just one more dream that I have left for you
I hope you're smiling when he turns around and says I do…
I do

[mckerney]

Kenesaw Mountain Landis was a bad mother fucker
He was seventeen feet tall, he had a hundred and fifty wives
He didn't do that much except he saved the game of baseball
He put two and two together and he noticed it was four
Now the treachery of Shoeless Joe can't hurt us anymore
And he'll always be remembered as Kenesaw Mountain Landis

Fellow named Joe Jackson was a fielder for the Black Sox
And he always wore his black socks, but he never wore no shoes
He weren't the nicest fellow and he had a couple problems
Cause he drank a lot and he beat his wife and he always acted rude
He killed and ate some babies and he copped an attitude
And the one man that he hated most was Kenesaw Mountain Landis

The mafia said Shoeless Joe
You should really run this show
You should be the guy who owns baseball
And all you really gotta do
Is help us make a buck or two
We'll bet on the other team
You'll lose the game but make it seem
Like nothing could be further from the truth

Shoeless Joe did what they said he dropped a couple fly balls
And he walked up to the pitcher and he poked him in the eye
And in the seventh inning with the Black Sox nearly beaten
There was someone who was watching from his blimp above the stands
Cradling a rifle in his thick and meaty hands
And as if you hadn't guessed yet it was Kenesaw Mountain Landis

Kenesaw said drop that glove
Or I swear by God above
I'll make you regret playing baseball
And Shoeless Joe looked up and saw
The silver rifle's gaping maw
And though no one had noticed yet
His underwear was getting wet
He peed himself in front of everyone

Shoeless Joe was finished but he couldn't quite admit it
So he raised his middle finger up above the other four
And Kenesaw took careful aim and fired a single bullet
And he shot that dirty finger off and he dropped his trusty gun
And everybody in the stands knew that he had won
And today they still refer to him as Kenesaw Mountain Landis

Shoeless Joe left baseball and because a famous pop star
And he asked the musical question is she really going out with him
He had a couple albums and a comeback in the 80's
But he never won a Grammy and he never was the same
And he never could be satisfied with critical acclaim
Cause the critics all confused him with the great Elvis Costello
Yes the critics all confused him with the great Elvis Costello

[TLK]

my favorite Costello song....

Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?
What goes on in that place in the dark?
Well I used to know a girl and I could have
sworn that her name was Veronica
Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own
and a delicate look in her eye
These days I'm afraid she's not even sure if her

name is Veronica

Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes,
Veronica has gone to hide?
and all the time she laughs at those who shout

her name and steal her clothes.
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica

Did the days drag by? Did the favours wane?
Did he roam down the town all the while?
did you wake from your dream, with a wolf at
the door, reaching out for Veronica
Well it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea
With a picture of Veronica

On the "Empress of India"
And as she closed her eyes upon the world and
picked upon the bones of last week's news
She spoke his name outloud again

Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes,
Veronica has gone to hide?
and all the time she laughs at those who shout

her name and steal her clothes.
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica


Veronica sits in her favorite chair
she sits very quiet and still
and they call her a name that they never get right
and if they don't then nobody else will
well she used to have a carefree mind of her own
with a devilish look in her eye
saying you can call me anything you like
but my name is Veronica


Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes,
Veronica has gone to hide?
and all the time she laughs at those who shout

her name and steal her clothes.
Veronica, Veronica, Veronica

[korme]

hard to find a connection, all i got was devilish-> hell

I'm on fire
And the day is feeling hopeless
You'd see me burning but the burning's turning smokeless
Soon I won't feel at all
No

It's electric the neon hurt inside your phone call
The layered sadness and the madness it revolves
Bringing down the walls where you found her
No

Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days my... reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much

And now I'm static
As your sky is turning purple and gray
I'm learning that the further that I crawl
The farther that I fall, is that ok?
No

And you're in pieces
As your world becomes a rainstorm
You've got no shelter I'm a thousand miles away
If you survive the day

You say your leaving
You say your leaving

Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days my... reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much

So you don't hurt so much

Never again will we fire this gun
No never again your the only one
No never again but you're already gone.

I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid

Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days my... reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much

So much
So much
So much
So much

[TLK]

I gave up on you a long time ago
How can you blame me?
We made plans to meet and you never showed
You kept me waiting
They said everything would work out just fine
They said you'd help me
But as it turns out it was all a lie
And they're off someplace far away laughing at me

You've been there for me one time in my life
But it didn't matter
You came and went so fast all my hope
And faith in you shattered
And now here I sit alone in this room
No one to confide in
You watched all my dreams come apart at the seams
You laughed, you left, you waited in hiding

Bless me dark father I have sinned
I've done it before and I'll do it again
Cuz it keeps me warm, and makes you smile
Been beneath me all the while
Hell yes

You gave up on me along time ago
I can't say I blame you
I rejected the faith in your holy rays
Is what it comes down to
They said everything would work out just fine
I just went crazy
But I'm better now having a good time
Being selfish, and drunken, and vulgar, and lazy

Bless me dark father I have sinned
I've done it before and I'll do it again
Cuz it keeps me warm, and makes you smile
Been beneath me all the while

Bless me dark father I can't win
Without you I'm as good as dead
Cuz you keep me warm, you make me smile
You've been on my shoulder all the while

Whispering sweet nothings
Whispering sweet nothings
Whispering sweet nothings
You've been whispering sweet nothings

[VPI97]

Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn't succeed, thank the Lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, it's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine

Summer's day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her mother's eye

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

[mckerney]

When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they looked away,
And drove to the beach 'cause I knew you'd want it that way.

And you were standing on the hood of the car
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
And I know I wasn't right, but it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing in my mind.
And three and a half minutes, felt like a lifetime

It felt like a lifetime

[Coffee Warlord]

While I loved my aunt. But she died.
And my Uncle Lou. But he died.
I'm searching for something which can't be found, but I'm hoping.
I still dream of dad. Though he died.

Everything Dies!

[korme]

You must die I alone am best!

I hope ya flip some guy the bird
He cuts you off and you're forced to swerve
In front of the Beatles' tour bus
A Bookmobile and a Mack truck
Hauling hazardous biological waste
The light turns red you have no brakes
And "Hard Copy" gets it all on tape
So you can see the look on your face

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die
Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

I hope your Pinto begins to spin
Takes out a disabled Vietnam Veteran
Mows down a Nobel Peace Prize Winner
And maybe some orphans having Christmas dinner
Perhaps even the British Royal Family
And the Rabbi that's clutching the bottle-fed puppy
And we can't forget the newlyweds
And those Jerry's Kids are as good as dead

I hope this helps to emphasize
I hope this helps to clarify
I hope you die

I hope your cellmate thinks he's God
But C.N.N. refer to him as "Bowling Ball Bag Bob"
Serving time again for abuse of a corpse
Only this time the victim's a Clydesdale horse
While he masturbates to photos of livestock
He does the "Silence of the Lambs" dance to Christian Rock
Eats feces and quotes from "Deliverance"
And fights with his imaginary playmate Vince

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die
Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

I hope he grins like Jack Nicholson
And forces you to play a game called "Balls On Chin"
And whatever happens next is all a blur
But you remember "fist" can be a verb
And when you finally regain consciousness
You're bound and gagged in a wedding dress
And the prison guard looks the other way
Cause he's the guy ya flipped the bird the other day

I hope this helps to emphasize
I hope this helps to clarify
I hope you die

I hope you die

[Karlifornia]

I had a brother once who drowned in a bathtub
before he'd ever learned how to talk
And I don't know what his name was,
but my mother does,I heard her say it once

Padraic my Prince,
I've all but died
from the sheer weight of my shame
you cried but noone came,
and the water filled your tiny lungs.
Appear my dear, and sing for me.
Six years ago today I laid you in your grave.
Your sweet young skin was shining then, too

And so tonight to celebrate
I will poison myself
Another coughing, shaking fit
In a bathroom that is spinning
So I close the door
and my rest my head on the tile floor
Sickness and sleep turning me cold
And I'm still not sure
Is there a better place I could be headed towards
Where the selfishly sick and self absorbed are welcome.

I saw the future once,
I was drunk in a phonebooth
My eyes were wet and red,
but I could not tell what was said.
And through the screams of the traffic voices carried
saying I am sorry
On a day so gray it's black inside
watching churches on TV
In a coma you don't dream,
you just hope that someone sits with you
babies turn blue when they're ignored
like the sky on a summer day
Before you turn and walk away it has changed you

And so tonight to compensate
I will poison myself
Another coughing, shaking fit
In a bathroom that is spinning.

[Coffee Warlord]

The psychotic woman, who lives downstairs.
Is out in the hallway, with curlers in her hair.
She talks through the door. She talks a little more.
I can't really see I think she's talking to me, and I said.

What did you say?
What did you say to me?
What did you say?
WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?

Killing spree! Killing spree! The only kinda party that interests me!
Killing spree! Killing spree! They'll show it live on NBC.

I want to go on a six state killing spree with you baby.
I wan to roll into Cheyenne Wyoming covered in the entrails of those we've slaughtered.
I want the stench of death arriving in the air with us.
I want a halo of flies.
I want literary references.
I want the wind to rull up behind us like a dark cloud, glittering with lightning.
I want the townspeople to run.

What did you say?
What did you say to me?
What did you say?
WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?

Killing spree! Killing spree! The only kinda party that interests me!
Killing spree! Killing spree! I blame it all on MTV!

[Ksyrup]

That's my boy
American son
Hope I'm not around
When he gets the idea
To buy a gun.

That's our boy
America's son
Hope I'm not to blame
When he gets the idea
To kill someone.

Have you ever really loved someone?
Have you ever really loved someone?

The flag's been broken
By an enemy
Raised on MTV
Raised on you and me

Have you ever really loved someone?
Have you ever really loved someone?

Gone, yeah, he's gone
And I have known nothing 'bout you
Yeah, he's gone
And he's never coming back.

Where's our saviour?
I'm looking for a sign
Just need something to clean
The blood from my numb, weary mind

Have you ever really loved someone?
Have you ever really loved someone?

I've seen those eyes. I've watched them close at night.
And you breathe in and you breathe out again.
Sister's coming over and I'm afraid to tell her secrets that I know.
Painting without colors, it tends to make it better, it bleaches out the world.

Was it the end - the end that kept you up till the morning?
Was it the boy - the boy who stole your heart?
The summer goes on and then dies quick without much warning. All things ordinary.
Will you stay near my now? Don't leave this town until we've figured out,
Between the two of us, we're strong enough - I feel that in your touch.

Full from the dinner, but feeling somewhat thinner, aching in the chest.
Kids behind the windows, calling out the answers to questions never asked.

Was it the end - the end that kept you up till the morning?
Was it the boy - the boy who stole your heart?
The summer goes on and then dies quick without much warning. All things ordinary.
Will you stay near my now? Don't leave this town until we've figured out,
Between the two of us, we're strong enough - I feel that in your touch.

I've seen those eyes. I've watched them close at night.
And what queen comes in? Always goes out again.

Will you stay near my now? Don't leave this town until we've figured out,
Between the two of us, we're strong enough - I feel that in your touch.
