Fish 02:29
walked in the rain but i missed walked at the edge of the abyss swollen breezes fill the air would you call me again still i don't love her at all oh my darlin' now go stop the rain child, dig in your fists higher mansions are the full weight of this i bore so much to give and show love soldered down to bone and blood so hold it in because this fish can't die out of water just give it time and help me throw it outside and just wait just wait for me

someone is calling me i’m arriving on the track it’s just me and my friends packing our bags we’re on our way back as i’m walking down the street the people are crowding me they ask for my name 'cause i'm just a guy from the tv i spent four years in hollywood and look what it did to me (what did it do to you?) rich, dirty and bad broken and sad i’m heading back home though I don’t remember much i remember feeling such happiness and glee i forgot my memory show me where I’m from accept me as i was forgive for who i am i won’t forget you now i won’t forget you now no, i won’t forget you fame and it’s luxuries ain’t what they’re cracked up to be they tell you you’re cool you think you’re so bad but you’re just a fad, baby when someone is calling you and you know who it’s gonna be i swear that it’s you you say that it’s me it’s my e.s.p. they saved me and they made me they made me and they left me they left me and they hurt me please don’t accept the calls live in shadows on the wall and you will never fall don’t forget this now don’t forget this now no, don’t forget this now

what’s with joy and all the hope it brings it leads you blindly to the cause but you don't even know what's there and you know you can't just break it off 'cause that's bad bad bad and you know you can't be bad they're just waiting around to set you up they got fifteen knives for all your lust and no one even knows you're there you gotta find a way to make it up i take off all my clothes and i throw them on the floor i play dead like rabbits and let them search some more i blink my lazy eye when you walk on by and when the wall comes down i'll be behind and just so you know a long time ago your wrinkles started to show and still you grow still you grow i wore a mask but they still recognized me i turned a corner and i think they took the bait now all that's fine but it's no use to me 'cause i just want to know chameleon how do you change color? keeping all the goons at bay with hands alone powerless to hope for some deus ex machina we said our goodbyes one last goodnight and when the wall comes down i'll be behind and just so you know a long time ago your wrinkles started to show but still you grow still you grow still you grow

before you... so we sailed through the aftershave and though we never cried we never begged but those times they were so hard that we laughed and laughed so hard and i'm the only one who longs until the day breaks from the sun and when the wave breaks i'll be gone before you before you

I May Cause 02:57
i can't hold on i'm not that strong i'm stuck in all these ups and downs but pressin' on i sit and stare at the apples on this windy day and i wonder oh will they fall without you babe or beg to stay? my home is ten thousand miles from here or maybe more but away from all these ups and downs i must endure and they don't say too much as i pass by locked indoors with their whores i assume and if you go then we'll know if i'm alone drowning in these ups and downs fading in hope and so i sit and stare at the grasses a sky so blue imagining through your window what it shows to you and if you go then we'll know if i'm alone murdered by these ups and downs turning me cold i'm murdered by these ups and downs i'm murdered by these ups and downs i'm dead in all these ups and downs i'm dead in all these ups and downs

one candle in the window a silhouetted figure finger of flame keeps me at bay wet stone beneath my footsteps a cold rain keeps my hair wet too late to make the midnight bell and only time will show if all those non-believers were in the know so get up and go throw your hat don't save the last dance lights may still show but they'll burst before your last chance and make your escape before they find you're away thanks for nothin', have a nice day i don't want to live forever i don't want to live forever 'cause dreams are really all I've got and i don't think i'll reach the top today help is around the corner they always say it's just around the corner but no one wants to step up to the plate how can you play the game with no penny to your name i guess the best get famous from the grave and on my stone write this man was broken from soul to bone my last curtain call closed before my first audition and way too many days being screwed in this position i've sailed with all the sinking ships in this sea and you've heard the stories... rags to riches from the street i thought that any man could somehow find his dreams but the guy who got the princess wasn't me i don't want to live forever i don't want to live forever 'cause the one thing that i haven't got's the only thing i ever planned and dreams are really all i've got but i don't think i'll reach the top today and do you wanna be that boy who sold his dreams to get a bean?

say a prayer for the midnight rose say a prayer but don't get your hopes up and lift a glass for the old time gentleman before he disappears maybe we could learn a thing or two from all those years sittin' all alone watchin' my hour glass runnin' sittin' all alone watchin' my hour glass runnin' low i'm tryin' hard to forget one thing and start another road that leads to you because i'm just getting sick of that kind of stuff i had enough of talking faces not up to scruff i've had enough of the human races i've had too much of 'you're just not good enough boy' well, it's good enough for me and rickie don't mind, rickie don't care what she do cigarettes at the club on 2nd avenue oh she's a star, she's got it all but rickie don't know that she'll die at 32 and at the start of the 21st century i've got a bit of a problem all the wisdom's died, all the wisdom dies and the sense gained with years is replaced by naive angry children all the wisdom's gone the cycle moves on and on and on protest anything hot and sexy cola can plagiarized point of view don't wanna be another stupid kid and at the start of the 21st century i've got a bit of a problem all the wisdom's died all wisdom dies and the sense gained with years is replaced by naive angry children all the wisdom's gone the cycle moves on and on and on protest anything hot and sexy cola can plagiarized point of view don't wanna be another stupid kid protest anything (you ruin everything) hot and sexy cola can (you ruin everything) plagiarize my point of view (you ruin everything) don't wanna be another stupid kid (you ruin everything)
