Long Live The Future

Long live the wide open future, right? • Drew a picture of this place • just to have it to erase • like an ordinary girl • And she gave me a smile • took a taste of my tear • cause she only lies awhile • and then she disappears • No explanation, nothing to explain • just rearrange his face back into what's his name • What I want is out of reach • You knew a lot of funny jokes • till your television broke • got a sudden attack - now you're back flat on the mat • I bet your mom is thrilled you found a guy that pays his bills • you don't regret what you had to kill • you ain't afraid of it • It's a dying little smile that takes a couple years • she only lies awhile and then she disappears • Dirty information, something to explain • before you rearrange my face back into what's his name • What I want is out of reach • What I want is over • Long live the wide open future, right? • It's a dying little smile that lasts a couple years • she only stayed awhile and then she disappeared • off to a vacation where nothing has a name • Blow apart the planet and begin again • What I want is out of reach • What I want is over

Brand New Broken Heart

I don't believe in accidents • I don't believe in accidents • I don't believe I'm a living accident • We fell asleep inside the park • We fell asleep inside the park • We fell asleep and woke up in the dark • Didn't know we drifted out this far • I got a brand new broken heart • I got a brand new broken heart • I got a brand new broken open heart • I had a drink and now I'm free • I had a drink and now I'm free • I had a drink and now I'll show you me • Maybe something you don't wanna see • So long • California's all gone • I wish there was a way for me to stay • but it's wrong • Move along • Remember when you ran to me? • Remember when you ran to me? • Remember when you ran away to me? • I didn't do what I said I'd do • I didn't do what I said I'd do • I didn't keep my promises to you • I didn't keep my promises to you • So long • California's all gone • I wish there was a way for me to stay • but it's wrong • Always thinking of the old days • I wish there was a way for me to stay • but it's gone

My Museum

You're in my museum • you're in the biggest room there is • under the thickest glass there is • sharing my saddest laugh • You're in my museum • you're in the biggest room there is • under the thickest glass there is • sharing my saddest laugh • But you remind me of a friend, though • I met him falling out a window • we were both falling real slow • we had some time to talk, you know? • And he's a typical offender • a professional pretender • on a life long bender • he thinks it makes him friendlier • So • Every day • feels the same • fading in a frame • You're in my museum • up on the screen repeating lines • dressed up as everybody else • a different echo every time • You're in my museum • up on the screen repeating lines • collecting accidents like treasures • buried under time • But you remind me of a friend, though • I met him falling out a window • we were both falling real slow • we had some time to talk, you know? • And he's a typical offender • a professional pretender • on a life long bender • he says it makes him friendlier • So • Every day • feels the same • fading in a frame

Quiet Surrender

Snapped a twig and found wires inside • scratching noises in the walls • they call 'em roof rats • laid out the big traps • Aim messages at the unreachable man • There is something in my wall • I can hear it move and crawl • like a giant secret thought • Always near, but never caught • Never caught • These are the days we'll never remember • These are the days we'll never remember • Dead castle in the tropical slums • Know the melody your enemy hums • It isn't love we're feeling - fallen ceiling • So leave the good map out tonight • The hero's ready for his fight • In his car he'll disappear • into night time, far from here • It might be years • These are the days we'll never remember • These are the days of the quiet surrender • Oh,my friend • we'll never go back there again • Gotta get out where there's something happening • we're not winning alone • It's time

House On The Highway

Glen passed his house on the highway • He was doing 80, it was doing 65 • hmm... • It came in pieces, he came in pieces • They went to pieces • mmm... • I passed you on the highway • I passed you on the highway • I passed you on the highway • You passed me on the highway • Just make it quick and understand • I'm not a man who gives a shit • Those days are gone • You win, you won, again • Glen passed his house on the highway • he was doing 60, it was doing 85 • mmm... • I found you on the highway • I found you on the highway • I found you on the highway • You found me on the highway • Aren't you ashamed of what you became? • Do you feel proud to see all the trouble that you made?

Two In The Ruins

Set fire to yesterday • chop this robot and drop it in a box and in a plot • You are just a game to play • and there's not a lot of winners, but anyway • Walk tall past talking walls • the collisioneer all broke and busted • Hold me up before I disappear • it's the ghostess with the mostest • We're two in the ruins • Looked up and suddenly • this place is under siege and I'm surrounded • Such a comedy • a good idea but unamounted • No one knows how to ride the ride • grown up machinery is leaving me in pieces • on the mountain • We're two in the ruins • You ask why I want it and I don't know • Just come along, it can't be wrong • We're two in the ruins

Only A Tool

Your heart is only a tool • only a tool to feel love with • Feel love and pain - feel love and pain • And love is only a tool • only a tool to feel life with • Love is a car • Love is a car that'll take you away • take you away • take you away to the place that • you wanna believe • you wanna believe is your real home • your home is your heart • your heart is a tool to feel life with

Sleepyface

I fell asleep today • in the middle of the afternoon • again • I was thinking and thinking makes me tired • so I closed my sleepy eyes and thought of her • again • I'm alone but I'm not scared • I'll sleep today - peaceful by myself • I'm alone but I'm not scared • I'll sleep today - till tomorrow comes • I dreamt of a landscape • with people laying in the grass • I floated past and everybody waved • They knew my name and they knew my face • And everybody loves me in my dreams • I'm alone but I'm not scared • I'll sleep today - peaceful by myself • I'm alone but I'm not scared • I'll sleep today - till tomorrow comes

The Captain's Dead At The Controls

We fell across the borderline • disintegrate a little bit at a time • nobody there to hear the sound • of what I had smashing into the ground • Yeah, stuck in the middle of you • taking a shot at the truth • but I had no proof • in your eyes • We just pretended not to know • that we were twisting through the cold • The captain's dead at the controls • Nothing to do but wait around • pick it apart looking down at the clouds • nobody there to see the leaves • burning away, swirling off of the trees • Yeah, you know I wanted to stay • as I was walking away • disappearing in the gray • of my mind • We just pretended not to know • that we were twisting through the cold • The captain's dead at the controls • The captain's dead at the controls

Black Limousine

Take a little for yourself • pass it on to someone else • there's not enough real love I know of • everyone is someone else • Remember when we were ten • my complicated friend • it's all the same - fun and games • come over • you can show me how you play • Black limousine • trailing me • through the streets • dark and clean • All your worries in a box • hiding under locks • they're onto you - maybe not • we're older than I ever knew we got • Quick and easy to replace • just a body and a face • you're number's up - good enough • a picture and a letter that you love • A dying dream • we're laughing at nothing • My final scene • just waiting for something • Black limousine • trailing me • through the streets • Remember me?

True

Painted all the walls a brand new color, something true • In your overalls, I paint an angry mouth on you • True • Sit here next to me, I'll be a puzzle you can do • I'm not afraid to bleed and you can be my puzzle too • And it's alright - we don't belong • to anything or anyone - now • Got it now, we got it now • There's nothing we can do • Got it now,we got it now, • I did it all for you • True • Garbage overspilled, I found a bottle we can drink • Eat another pill, another universe to shrink • And sit so still - and feel the kiss • of perfect thoughts, of burning bliss(ters) • Got it now, we got it now • There's nothing we can do • Got it now, we got it now • I did it all for you • True
