Innocence & Opposites
06:46

=================================================
Can't tell if I'm a man or mosquito;
A mansion in need of a ghost
Old-timey in a new tuxedo;
The noose I was fearing the most
There's a bold fine line
Between opposites & compliments
There's a bold fine line
Between innocence & opposites
9 minutes on a real vacation;
The re-location of home
Brain freezing on the go-cart speeding;
The cold heart's beating alone
There's a bold fine line
Between opposites & compliments
There's a bold fine line
Between innocence & opposites
Say no more . . .
She's looking
Say no more . . .
Say now
Everybody's looking at you
Say no more . . .

We're losing life
I've lost the fear that guides us
It's hidden well inside of
Some listen to
She's got a feeling that I do
We're living proof
Why are moths attracted to flame?
Don't they know that it's not the Sun?
I saw a mask in the mirror behind me;
I was scared so I had to put it on
We had it made
She had a knack for spending
I didn't mind depending
On what she bought
That didn't pique my interest
She never knew
Until the end
Why are moths attracted to flame?
Don't they know that it's not the Sun?
I saw a mask in the mirror behind me;
I got scared so I had to put it on
Why are moths attracted to flame?
Don't they know that it's not the Sun?
I saw a mask in the mirror behind me;
I was scared so I had to put it on

Ram's Head Stone
04:31
|
|||
=================================================
Evil light
In my corner
In your sight;
What a way to
Spend the night
Common sense
Over pressure
Out defense;
It doesn't make
Any sense
Yet again I've come
To call you home;
It don't matter to me
You got rid of the Ram's Head Stone
And I can't help but notice
How you've grown
To be more like a stranger
I have known . . .
Lucky day
In your future
In my way;
We'll treat it like
Another day
And all at once
Nothing's sacred
Nothing's wrong;
You were back
Now I'm gone
Yet again you've hidden
What I've shown;
It don't matter to me
You got rid of the Ram's Head Stone
And I don't know if this
Was ever my own
Or am I just a stranger
You have known?
And so it goes
It's gotta be
Easier alone;
Let it just
Set in stone
We'll take it slow
It's gonna be
Easier than most;
Trust the
Ram's Head Stone
Yet again I've come
To call you home;
It don't matter to me
You got rid of the Ram's Head Stone
And I can't help but notice
How you've grown
Now that I'm a stranger
You have known . . .

Road Lizard

|

=================================================
Dark figures I don't remember
Sand blizzards in hot November
There were only gravel roads
So we had to drive slow
Down below the border . . .
'Cause a road lizard got my nose;
Crazier than an ol' Eskimo
Road lizard let me go;
Took it on down to Mexico
Well, the more you say
The less I know;
So twist my tongue
And talk real low . . .
No, the Sun goes down
But doesn't die;
Cold blood it runs
But never hides . . .
And a road lizard got my nose;
Crazier than an ol' Eskimo
Road lizard let me go;
Took it on down to Mexico
Road lizard got my nose;
Crazier than an ol' Eskimo
Then that road lizard let me go;
And took it on back to Mexico
He took it on back to . . .
Don't trust no good gold-digger;
Crazier than a road lizard
Don't trust no good gold-digger;
Crazier than a road lizard
Don't trust no good gold-digger;
Crazier than a road lizard
Don't trust no good gold-digger;
Crazier than a . . .
Road lizard got my nose;
Crazier than an ol' Eskimo
Road lizard let me go;
Took it on down to Mexico
Road lizard got my nose;
Crazier than an ol' Eskimo
Then that road lizard let me go;
He took it on back to Mexico
Took it on back to . . .
Dark figures I don't remember
Sand blizzards in hot November . . .

Michigan
02:42
|
|||
===================================================
They tell me not to make believe
I can remember when I could
Forget about the way it seems
And lord knows that I should
Because there's an impostor in the sheets;
The fortune cookie told
Me not to get caught beneath
The wheel now once it's rolled . . .
I know you think the way we were
Was better than we are;
Avoiding all the fatal curves
In the backseat of my car
It's costing me an arm & a leg
To know what state I'm in
But now that we're so far away
It feels like Michigan . . .
They told me not to make believe
I can't remember when I could
Forget about the way this seems
But lord knows that I should
Because there's an impostor in the sheets;
The fortune cookie told
And now I know you're caught beneath
The wheel so there you go . . .

Stale Sugar

|

=================================================
Told my sister
To call me mister;
Sent myself in the mail
Sold my dozen
Phoned my cousin;
Found out he's in jail . . .
Break my heart in a day
Stale sugar
Breaks my heart in a day
It takes all day & a day
Stale sugar
Break my heart in a day
Stole my mother's
Latin lover's
Gold teeth as a prank
One to mingle
The rest to jingle
All the way to the bank . . .
Break my heart in a day
Stale sugar
Breaks my heart in a day
It takes all day & a day
Stale sugar
Break my heart in a day
Break my heart in a day
Stale sugar
Breaks my heart in a day
It takes all day & a day
Stale sugar
Break my heart in a day . . .

No Hobos
02:31
|

=================================================
No hobos, no hobos
We're the only hobos . . .
No hobos, no hobos
We're the only hobos . . .
I spent all day lookin'
For a piece of paper
To write down the number
She told me yesterday
When I couldn't find one
I had to give up tryin'
I sat down & drew it
On a dirty windowpane
No hobos, no hobos
We're the only hobos . . .
No hobos, no hobos
We're the only hobos . . .
The last time I saw her
Was out in Carson City
She told me to meet her
Up in Reno the next day
I went there & hung out
Down around the station
She left me with nothing
Just a-waitin' on a train
No hobos, no hobos
We're the only hobos . . .
No hobos, no hobos
We're the only hobos . . .
No hobos, no hobos
We're the only hobos . . .
No hobos, no hobos
We're the only hobos . . .

=================================================
I'm going blind
In the lightside of my eye
Going blind;
So talk to me . . .
From the bereft side
To the bright
I'm going blind . . .
Blink twice
If you see through what I do
It's so nice;
You see through me . . .
From the Niece side
To the Night
I'm going blind . . .
Watch what he says!
Watch what he says!
Come alive at least I'll live again
Watch what he says!
Watch what he says!
When I'm lost at last I'll leave again
Watch what he says!
Watch what he says!
Come alive at least I'll live again
Watch what he says!
Watch what he says!
When I'm lost at last I'll leave again . . .
In the lightside of my eye . . .

Sunday
04:53
|

=================================================
Hold your tongue but not completely
Over stars aligning neatly
String you wrapped around my finger
Only now reminds me sweetly
Steal my words & give them meaning
More like falling down than leaning
Face you made to lay in memory
Only needs a little cleaning . . .
Sunday
Oh, Sunday
Come she will . . .
By Sunday
Oh, someday
Yes she will . . .
Open up the skies you shut
And resurrect the scenes you cut
I'll hand them to their rightful owner
Never mind the now for what?
I drove all night to repossess you
Hoping that the last forgets to
Scratch the lines that we were singing
Knowing it's the end that gets you . . .
Sunday
Oh, Sunday
Come she will . . .
By Sunday
Oh, someday
Yes she will . . .
Bite my tongue but not completely
Over stars aligning neatly
String you wrapped around my finger
Only now reminds me sweetly
Steal my words & give them meaning
More like falling down than leaning
Face you made to lay in memory
Only needs a little cleaning . . .
Sunday
Oh, Sunday
Come she will . . .
By Sunday
Oh, someday
Yes you will . . .

=================================================
5, 6, 7, 8 . . .
I've done it now
I've got a reason to give out
It's not about the race . . .
Wonder who wins
One more addiction to live in
It's not a sin to taste . . .
But you turn it around;
It comes more like a question to me
Losing sight of the sound
Like I'm down, to say the least
Knocking on wood
I should've cashed in when I could
Misunderstood your face
But you've done it now
You've got a reason to give out
Without a doubt or trace . . .
You turn it around;
It comes more like a question to me
Losing sight of the sound
Like I'm down to say . . .
When you turn it around;
Becomes more like a question to me
We're losing sight of the sound
Like I'm bound to say the least
. . . Suture self . . .

String it Along
08:18
|

=================================================
Somebody's gone;
Take it away
Or string it along?
Somebody's gone;
Give it away
Don't string it along
You should come back when you want;
No I've not made it very far . . .
Last time I was a stranger there;
The last time you were here . . .
The first time you were in danger here;
The last I was there . . .
Don't we all string it along?
Don't we all string it along?
String it along . . .
Don't string it along
String it along . . .
Don't string it along
