================================================= 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 =================================================

================================================= 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 04:00
================================================= 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 . . .

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 . . . =================================================

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, 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 . . . =================================================

Lightside 04:11
================================================= 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 . . .

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 . . . =================================================

Suture Self 07:49
================================================= 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 . . . =================================================

================================================= 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 =================================================

about

======================================

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 . . .
