Lonesome ocean
drinking up the oxygen we breath
do you feel like somethings never change?
but now i’m older
younger than i’ll be tomorrow
guess it’s true that somethings never change
But i don’t feel the same, no
i don’t feel a thing
I’ve been on the corner walking
waiting here for half an hour
maybe i’ll feel better then
maybe i’ll feel better when i’m dead
Holy diver
blasting out the bathroom window
makes me feel like somethings never change
but now i’m older
younger than i’ll be tomorrow
guess it’s true that somethings never change
but i don’t feel the same, no
i don’t feel a thing
I’ve been on the corner walking
waiting here for half an hour
maybe i’ll feel better then
maybe i’ll feel better when i’m dead
maybe i’ll feel better when i’m dead

1994

i took a walk down by the water
and i saw things i’ve never seen
there was a face floating in space
he told me he dreamed the same dreams as me
Are you at home?
I’ve been living here since 1994
I’ve been alone for too long
Maybe next spring
you’re in california doing everything
i’ve been at home for too long
So i took a year
and looked in the mirror
I saw things i’d never seen
but there was a time
before you were mine
all the drones & the leaves they all sound the same to me
Are you at home?
I’ve been living here since 1994
I’ve been alone for too long
Maybe next spring
you’re in california doing everything
i’ve been at home for too long
Oh, i don’t mind anymore
all those apologies
oh, all the cracks in the floor
they don’t matter to me anymore

Murder In Db
02:44
|
|||
I was standing on the highway
and the taillights looked like jupiter
and the headlines all read murder, murder
all those letters that you wrote
and the silence like cancer growth
and the headlines all read murdee, murder
when you feel your eyes close softly and slowly
and the moonlight shines above all the world
but you feel like you’re dying but you ain’t old

i’m somebody new i am somebody more like you
drunk on the floor i have made myself a fool once more
good god my son you’ve been chokin here far too long
drunk on the floor you have made yourself a fool once more
cuz lately maybe mama i’ve been talkin in my sleep
searching through my whole life for something i can keep
some say that you’re the chosen one
but i don’t look at you that way
say that you’re the only one
I’m sort of hoping you’ll go away
cuz time is never
time is never here to stay
so tell me you’re the chosen one
but it’s hard to say
good god my son you’ve been chokin’ here far too long
drunk on the floor you have made yourself a fool once more
someone once said “what was once lost cannot be dead”
been here before and i’m never coming back for more
cuz lately maybe mama i’ve been talkin in my sleep
searching through my whole life for something i can keep
some say that you’re the chosen one
but i don’t look at you that way
say that you’re the only one
I’m sort of hoping you’ll go away
cuz time is never
time is never here to stay
so tell me you’re the chosen one
but it’s hard to say

Outer Space (Bang Bang!)
03:01
|
|||
pick your nose
put it in your pocket
where nothing grows
cause there is no reason
there is no reason
that you are gonna need it up in outer space
all that we believe in comes from outer space
is it really there if we don’t see it?
do we really care?
for there is no reason
that you are gonna need it up in outer space
pack your bags we’re leaving up to outer space
we sailed across the stars
and wound up where we are
our little water world
i love you all
and when our time is done
we’ll crash into the sun
our little fucked up world

MTV Revisited
03:47
|
|||
well i’m just a boy with big dreams
and like a dream i wish i could have you every night of the week
but i can’t
so i’ll have to learn to adapt
and although i feel so incomplete
all my doll parts are intact
maybe one day we’ll make the MTV
but until then we’ll have to get used to playin for pennies in the street
and they’ll give us dirty looks
and they’ll say “boy you can’t play guitar you better hit the books. better start a family be the man they say you have to be.”
well i’ve been waiting for you since morning Jack
what took you so long were you fuckin’ around in the back of nothingness
of greed and ugliness
I saw a beggar with a sign in his hand
it said “i fought just to fall so far down i can’t get back up again”
can you spare a nickel or a dime?
so i don’t have to die broke
so i don’t have to die a joke
so i don’t have to choke on this noose around my throat
You’d better mind your manners and watch your tongue
and if you forget how to apologize you’d better hope you’re never sorry again
cause these uniformed men carry silver guns
and they’ll put a bullet in your head if you don’t walk and talk and speak and think just like them

you said that you want to die today
so what’s left to say seems your minds already made
but nothings as it seems when you are living in a tv screen & you see nothing else
you said that you want to try today
but try as you may your brain is always in the way
but nothings as it was when you was happy just because
you felt better, then.
you felt better then, before.

Bug(s)
03:35
|
|||
The bugs are crawling
all across the kitchen floor where you once swore
that i was not one of them
always looking for perfecting always searching for direction
I saw sadness
in the most peculiar places and worn out faces
cut right through me
cause you don’t know me anymore
you don’t know me anymore
New York City’s cold
but i don’t feel a thing anymore
when you’re staring at the clock and i’m staring at the clock
it’s time.
cause you are not the chosen one
and i am not the chosen one
we are just another bug
I saw sadness
in the most peculiar places and worn out faces
cut right through me
cause you don’t know me anymore
you don’t know me anymore
cause you are not the chosen one
and i am not the chosen one
we are just another bug
But New York City’s cold and pretty
where have all the people gone?
when you’re staring at the clock
and i’m staring at the clock
it’s time

Highway Lines
01:28
|
|||
sometimes at night
i sit and wonder what it’s like
to be the moon
to be the stars
but those highway lines
they stretch out miles upon miles
leading you back to me
so strike a chord and let it out
hit record and let it out
and when you’re gone
i feel nothing at all
so strike a chord and let it out.

Everything Goes Away
02:58
|

in this city that i call my home
well they’re cutting down trees and they’re building new roads
and they name all the streets after all of the trees that they cut down to build all the roads that we see
cause everything goes away in time
but i won’t go away this time
so i get up at 5:45 and i put on my shoes and i go for a drive
I drive down the streets where there once was the trees that they cut down to build all the roads that we see
cause everything goes away in time
but i won’t go away this time

Tired Shoes
04:31
|
|||
when you’re driving in fancy cars
when you’re drinking at all the best bars
will you be lonely?
will you think of me?
will you want more than before?
when your world is upside down
when you can’t get two feet on the ground
will you be lonely?
will you be only what you once were
nothing more
when we crash into the sun
when it seems that our time here is done
will we be proud of the roads we choose
in our tired shoes
