Fish

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
02:37

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

Fifteen Knives
03:56
|
|

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

in love
in love
in love
with the animals

When I'm Sleeping Part I
03:10

when i'm sleeping
i don't care where you have to go
and when i'm sleeping
you can ring the bells and run, i'll never know
so take a number and i'll get with you
as for now, i have to think about some issues
she never gave me her number
i wonder if she saw me coming
from another girls apartment
sometimes mistakes can happen
what can i do?
i can't help it
i was born the right side of pretty
only one that people say
yeah i was born the right side
but i won't let go now
holy moly
x2
and when i'm sleeping
i don't care where you have to go
and when i'm sleeping
your destinations aren't for me to know
so take an hour and spend it with you
as for now, I have to think about some issues
i never gave her my number
i wonder if she saw me running
i'll get her name next summer
sometimes mistakes can happen
what can I do?
i can't help it
i'm callin' out all the true believers
i'm callin' out the hope in your heart
just look around we're all in this together
and don't forget...
all these seeds planted our heads
fluoride in the water
suckin' out my head
yes i'm lonely
and i'm the only one who longs
i'm callin' out all the true believers
i'm callin' out the hope in your heart
just look around we're all in this together
and don't forget the last are first to god

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?

The Ballad Of Stupid Kid
05:24
|
|
||
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)
