Dreams

When the rain washes you clean you'll know.

I Don't Know

What's pleasing to the eye
In the delusion of my sight
Is not what I find when I reach into the light
I have lost my mind
I'm walking through time
Deluded as the next guy
Pretending and hoping to find
That distant peace of mind
I don't know
Who does know
There is no
Where to go
It's not so simple as I try to wish
But then again what is?
There is no other worthy quest
So on I go

The Universal

This is the next century
Where the universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future’s been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing a long
Though the words are wrong

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

No one here is alone, satellites in every home
Yes the universal's here, here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow’s your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

Well, it really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

Just let them go.

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov’d with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.

Battle of Who Could Care Less

Do you not hear me anymore
I know it's not your thing to care
I know it's cool to be so bored
It sucks me in when you're aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks it works
I guess it's cool to be alone

Will you never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Every day you wake up late
Sometimes I wish I was
that way

And you think Rockford Files is cool
But there are some things
that you would change
if it were up to you
So think about your masterpiece
Watch the Rockford Files
And call to see if Paul can score some weed.

Will you never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
That's all right I guess...

I've got this great idea
Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin Fucking Mint
Fine pewter portraits of
general apathy and major boredom singing...
Whatever and ever Amen

Oh well maybe not try again
This should cheer you up for sure
See I've got your old I.D.
And you're all dressed up like The Cure
Will you never rest
fighting the battle
of who could care less
unearned unhappiness
You're my hero I confess

Gimme Shelter

Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today.
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away.

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away.
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away.

Ooh, see the fire sweepin'
Our very street today.
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way.

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away.
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away.

Rape, Murder, it's just a shot away
it's just a shot away
Rape, Murder, it's just a shot away
it's just a shot away
it's just a shot away, shot away, yeah yeah 

The floods is threat'ning
My very life today.
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away.

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

The Mirror Conspiracy

You hid yourself
In wondered eyes
But now I've seen
Through your disguise
From where I stand
A lovely view
Your world unwinds
You come unglued

Fair

He shouted out his last word
And he stumbled through the yard
And she shattered her last china plate
And spun off in the car
When he lunged onto the hood
She stopped to tell him she'd been wrong
He was thrown head over heels
Into the traffic coming on

But then all is fair in love

Did you get my other letters
Sometimes I think I oughta call
'cause you know I often wonder
If you open them at all
Every couple nights or so y'know
You pop into my dreams
I just can't get rid of you
Like you got rid of me
Oh but I send my best
'cause God knows you've seen my worst

But well all is fair
All is fair in love

(All this breathing in, never breathing out)

Well I guess she made her way
Through the mob too late to hear him say
That he'd gotten all he'd wanted
A crowd to watch him bear the pain
He'd been keeping in - so what -

So what
All is fair
All is fair in love

(Am I right, Am I right
Yeah, I'm right, I'm right
I'm lonely and I'm right...)

Ghost 'n' stuff

It’s been so long I’ve been out of my body with you
I feel alone, feel at home, feel like nothing is true
she took me to a place where my senses gave way
turn it round, shut it down, what the people say
climbing up, killing time, let 'em give you some
take my hand and let it come, let it come, let it…

take it back when she knows that you're doing it right
cuz everybody else knows what they're taking tonight

but I just wanna play it right
we’re gonna get there tonight

it’s been so far, I’ve been walking the line on my own
lift me up to the stars, we are coming home
I only had a taste, but we're out of time
we are souls in the cold, physical design
set me free, set me out on the run
lift me up to the sun, to the sun, to the…

we are burning down, we are burning down
it’s the way that you fake it, I know it’s too late

but I just want to play it right
we are gonna get there tonight

I just want to take you down
we are gonna bring you around

Overkill

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be all right
Perhaps it's just imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It's just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
