Текст песни:

We′ll correct collegiate mistakes,
A shower of formal ideals,
Completely soused, The hearts on our sleeves,
As they drowned we could hear them screaming,
"Oh what a tragic way to see our final days."

I attempt to talk up the town:
"The answers are in the arches of the 20th Century Towers and in
comfortable cars in motion."

And yet it still remains, this incessant refrain:
"You′re just like the rest. Your restlessness
makes you lazy."

Keeping busy is just wasting time and I′ve wasted what little he gave me.
(All Around) I know the conscious choice was crystal clear,
too clear the slate of former years:
When I sang softly in your ear and tied these arms around you.

Текст песни:

Synapse to Synapse: the possibility′s thin.
I′m dressed up for free drinks
and family greetings on your wedding
your wedding
your wedding date.
The figures in plastic
on the wedding cake
that I took
were so real.

And I kept a distance:
the complications cloud
the postcards and blips through fiberoptics,
as the girls with the pigtails
were running from little boys wearing bowties
their parent bought them:
"I′ll catch you this time!"

Crashing through the parlor doors,
what was your first reaction?
screaming, drunk, disorderly:
I′ll tell you mine.

You were the one
but I can′t spit it out
when the date′s been set.
The white routine to be ingested inaccurately.

Synapse to Synapse:
the sneaky kids had attached beer cans
to the bumper so they could drive
up and down the main drag.
People would turn to see
who′s making the racket.
It′s not the first time.

When they lay down
the fish will swim upstream
and I′ll contest but they won′t listen
when the casualty rate′s near 100%,
and there isn′t a pension for second best
or for hardly moving..

Crashing through the parlor doors,
what was your first reaction?
Sreaming, drunk, disorderly:
I′ll tell you mine.

You were the one
but i can′t spit it out when the date′s been set.
the white routine to be ingested inaccurately.

Текст песни:

How I wish you could see the potential,
the potential of you and me.
It′s like a book elegantly bound but,
in a language that you can′t read.
Just yet.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you′ll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you′ll find, love
I will possess your heart.

There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass,
and I long for this mirrored perspective
when we′ll be lovers, lovers at last.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you′ll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you′ll find, love
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.

You reject my... advances... and desperately...
I won′t let you... let me down... so easily.
So easily.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you′ll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you′ll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you′ll find, love
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.

Текст песни:

Just admit that you′re wrong and i′ll give back what i borrowed or stole
from your parents house, from your studio: it′s the principle
you said wait here
prove all my hypotheses
catching up w/ the band: their drummer had left to persue his career
i rode in their van. they stated, "the parting was ugly: it brought him to
tears."

Текст песни:

And I′m standing up in my practice room
I′m all alone
Speaker′s almost blown
And my new Gibson amp
Oh what the hell....
Things are not so different in my vocal master
You are the face that launched one thousand ships
Greeks and trojans and a thousand ships
The ships eyeing the shores of asia minor
Lining all the shores of asia minor
You can tell that im not a minor in asia no more
I′m standing up
This is the face that launched a thousand ships
I′m standing up
This is the face that launched one thousand ships
This is the face that shot
You′ll never have replaced
Splitting up his kids to 3 separate parts
For his sons and the 3 separate hearts

Текст песни:

Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground
And start new when your heart is an empty room
With walls of the deepest blue

Fall fades how it ages when you′re away
Spring blooms and you find the love that′s true
But you don′t know what now to do
Cause the chase is all you know
And she stopped running months ago

And all you see is where else you could be
When you′re at home out on the street
Are so many possibilities to not be alone

The flames and smoke climbed out of every window
And disappeared with everything that you held dear
And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn′t need
Cause you knew you were finally free

Cause all you see is where else you could be
When you′re at home out on the street
Are so many possibilities to not be alone

And all you see is where else you could be
When you′re at home there on the street
Are so many possibilities to not be alone

Текст песни:

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can′t take my eyes off of you
I can′t take my eyes off you
I can′t take my eyes off of you
I can′t take my eyes off you
I can′t take my eyes off you
I can′t take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We′ll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower′s daughter
The pupil in denial

I can′t take my eyes off of you
I can′t take my eyes off you
I can′t take my eyes off of you
I can′t take my eyes off you
I can′t take my eyes off you
I can′t take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can′t take my mind off of you
I can′t take my mind off you
I can′t take my mind off of you
I can′t take my mind off you
I can′t take my mind off you
I can′t take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
′Til I find somebody new

Текст песни:

there′s a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress
and i′m sneaking glances.
looking for the patterns in static
they start to make sense the longer i′m at it.

ivory lines lead
oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

your heart is a river that flows from your chest
through every organ
your brain is the dam
and i am the fish who can′t reach the cord.

ivory lines lead
oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

oh, instincts are misleading
you shouldn′t think what you′re feeling
they don′t tell you what you know you should want.

ivory lines lead
oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho
(x2)

oh, instincts are misleading
you shouldn′t think what you′re feeling
they don′t tell you want you know you should want.

ivory lines lead
oo wha-ho.

Текст песни:

what ghosts exist behind thses attic walls?
there′s got to be a simpler explanation,
′cause i scrimped and i saved just to find that
they′ve been splicing my inventions.
cold skin and bones and this latitude:
we ain′t payin′ until the heat comes through.
so you slept in a stocking cap and wool scarf.
promises of payment were upon your shoulders
constantly, but don′t forget to entertain ′cause
this is your first defense.
a four-year offense to the devoted type.
i may have got an invitation but i wasn′t invited.
but i thought that this meant something more
than broken hearts and new addictions.
we′ll leave our sins within the carpet twine.
our bodies will dissolve the chemicals in due
time

Текст песни:

We′re not the same, dear, as we used to be.
The seasons have changed and so have we.
There was little we could say, and even less we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.

We bury our love in the windsory grave
Along came the snow, that was all that remained.
But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks
And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we′d speak.

And when spring arrived
We were taken by surprise when the flows under our feet
Led into the sea
Nothing was left for you and me.

We′re not the same, dear,
And it seems to me
There′s more where we can go
With nothing underneath.
And it saddens me to say
But we both know, well, it′s true
That the ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.
The ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.

Текст песни:

You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.
With a single pillow underneath your single head.
I guess you decided that that old queen holds more space than you would need.
Now it′s in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it′s free.

And I hope you have more luck with this than me.

You used to think that someone would come along.
And lay beside you in a space that they belong.
But the other side of the mattress and box springs stayed like new.
What′s the point of holding onto what never gets used?

Other than to sit and desire for something new.

And I try not to worry, but you′ve got me terrified.
It′s like your some kind of hurry to say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye.

You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.

Текст песни:

I took the 405 and drilled a stake down into your center,
And stated that it′s never ever been better than this.
I hung my favorite shirt on the floorbaord, wrinkled up from pulling pushing tasting.
You keep twisting the truth that keeps me thrown askew.
Misguided by the 405 ′cause it lead me to an alcoholic summer.
I missed the exit to your parents′ house hours ago.
Red wine and the cigarettes... hide your bad habits underneath the patio.

Текст песни:

Sitting on a carousel ride without any music or light.
Everything was closed at coney island, and i could not help from smiling.

I can hear the atlantic echo back roller coaster screams from summers past.
And everything was closed at coney island, and i could not help from smiling.
Brooklyn will fill in the beach eventually and everyone will go except me.

Текст песни:

you′ll discover that casual friends kept
notes in their pockets to remember your
name. and all thses places we went to
see sights just gave them excuses to get
into the game.
there′s a look in the faces tonight that′s
untrustable as the hope that you′ll never return
in a while. but you′re always on time, so...
sleeping soundly: the back of the car felt more
like a home than i would ever have thought.
and through the evening the engine kept on
until we hit chicago and decided to stop.
there′s a look in the faces tonight that′s
untrustable as the hope that you′ll never return
in a while. but you′re always on time so...

Текст песни:

i can′t expel the truth
it′s much more than i thought i could do
and with time my worth with stain
and split your heart from my name...
so drive away your mouth from my ears
and waste a day so i can think clearly
and what′s left to wait for here
as my hands sleep spent this last year
choking the bottle′s neck that pulled you from my bed
