hanging up portraits on a gallery wall
everything's blooming in color
stuck in a cell in the back of your mind
the storm starts to gather with thunder.
stuck in the valley, i don't wanna drink
so we started smoking again
seeing the world through a thin pane of glass
i swear i won't break if i bend.
i don't know if you noticed my hesitation
when you said what i thought you could see.
i've been told i'm a narcissist
but babe, you remind me of me.
cup filling up with a snake and a stem
i bathe all my anger in aloe.
the spiders are back in the back of my head,
they bloom out my mouth like a willow.
i don't know if you notice my concentration
as i tried not to sink where i sleep.
i've been told i'm a narcissist
but babe, you remind me of me.
walking down wilson, walking through smoke,
i'll meet you at father knows best.
two gems in your eyes i won't say as a joke
illuminate all i have left.

i was too young for sucking my thumb
i thought i was happy
you were okay with showing restraint
i'll waltz til you want me
but i don't how
i'm gonna get down
i was too old, rotten and cold
i'll wait til you take me
i was in chains, there's blood in my brain
i want to be holding you
somehow
i've gotta get down
but i don't know how
i'm gonna figure it out
but something's still coming
my way, i know
i'm making a lot of mistakes
i'm gold
i'm gonna get down
it's just a little too loud
i was too young for sucking your thumb
i thought of chicago
we got a little too drunk, too lost and in love
no shadows here to bother us
somehow
are you talking me down?
i don't know how
i'm gonna figure it out
but sometimes i swear
it's never gonna come my way
i'll meet you right here
and i'll be your golden chain
that's how i know how
it's gonna shake down
i said i swear i know how
it's gonna shake down
doot doot doot doo doo doo doo

Blue Love
02:38
|
|||
|
split the distance every night
while you lie awake and fly
aint no candle in the wind
i'm first in line for second best
with your finger on my chest
wanna sink but try to swim
but here she comes, "miss misery"
between the bars is where i'll be
between the tables turning tame
so between the bars i lay
forever knocking, never late
tell me how i look today.
turn me on with your blue love
i'm tried and true, i am new love
i hear a voice, is it you love?
turn me on with your blue love.
i'm high as hell, it's heaven time
in the autumn of my eyes
forever red but never seen.
i twist the sea just like a knife
and try to anchor in your life
cut the chain, come back to me.

First Time Tomorrow
03:35
|
|||
|
i left it all tangled up
lying in my bed alone
you see i saw a quiet moment
carve a mirror, close the door
turn the light off, leave me now
i don't want to hear your voices
i'll see you
for the first time tomorrow
i will see you
again.
i left it all half finished
half baked, it wasn't mine
new ideas, let the noise in.
i'm laying down on the carpet
nothing's fine, i'm not torn.
here i am, riding rockets.
but i'll see you
for the first time tomorrow
i will see you again
i'll see you
under blue skies tomorrow
i will see you again
cuz you're not in my head.
patterned blanket, patterned thoughts
i trace my line across these words
wonder how i'm gonna get out
photo picture in my room
tell me yellow: who you are
now i know what's been missing.
now i know what's been missing.
but i'll see you
for the first time tomorrow
i will see you again
i'll see you
for the first time tomorrow
i will see you again
i'll see you
under blue skies tomorrow
i will see you again...

The Boat I Am Building
03:34
|

|
i love what you wasted for me
moondust, now you fade into my life
glow up through the waving wheat
i show up but you turn away from me
something is coming, i wait and i wait for the sun
i'm trying to be someone but i feel like i am no one
slide down, another green-eyed wonder
lights off, how i hate to let you down.
(hate to let you down)
turn to hear the blue sky plunder
drift off, will you wait and wait for me?
something is coming, i wait and i wait for the sun.
(you're waiting, there's nothing)
i'm trying to someone but i feel like i am no one.
(you're nothing, you're no one)
the boat i am building will never be done.
won't you build a forest for me?
can't i ever lie between your leaves?
when will i become my maker?
what now: is there something to believe?
something is coming, i wait and i wait for the sun.
(you're waiting, there's nothing)
i'm trying to someone but i feel like i am no one.
(you're nothing, you're no one)
the boat i am building will never be done.
(you see me, you know me)
now i may be sinking but they haven't won.
(you need me, just show me)
the boat i am building will
never
be
done.

Lily in the Shower
03:00
|

|
take me to chicago
take my breath away
i've got time to wonder
how you came to stay
all my friends are wasted
and i'm just wasting time
i'm looking for a sunset
to digest in your eyes
if you can't believe in everything that i believe
if you can't believe in everything that i believe
i see you, mother of my children.
valley full of flowers
never better, i don't mind
lily in the shower
restless here tonight
if these are not good people
who sleeps in every bed?
i walk across your footsteps
drowning in your head
but if you can't believe in everything that i believe
but if you can't believe in everything that i believe
i see you, mother of my children.
but if you can't believe in everything that i believe
but if you can't believe in everything that i believe
i won't leave you, mother of my children.

Goodbye For Now
03:16
|
|||
|
it's time that i leave this city behind
she doesn't care she's closing her eyes
she doesn't mind she's losing her minds for me
i pack you up so before i go
i ring you up on the telephone
i'll ring you up like you wrang me out before
i hate you so you know
i needed a reason to go
maybe i'll see you in hell
the crystal ball is cherry red
i'm barely keeping myself fed
i'm barely keeping myself out of bed
cigarette smoke in my mind
you told me you love me, that was a lie
forever doesn't mean anything this time
i hate you so you know
i've got a good reason to go
maybe i'll see you in hell
if i don't fly
into your arms tonight
i'm gonna get high somehow
cuz i wanna die
on burnside tonight
guess i'm gonna say
goodbye for now.
[ripoff pastiche instrumental break]
if i don't fly
into your arms tonight
i gotta get high somehow
(not again)
cuz i wanna die
on burnside tonight
guess i've gotta say
goodbye for now
(fade away)
goodbye for now
(run away)
goodbye for now.

Juniper
02:23
|

|
something slipping turning me away
i drank my way back to your place
everybody's begging me stay
but there's a growing look of darkness on your face
when i met you by the station
i thought we'd meet in isolation
oh, why is he here too?
are you trying to tell me baby that i'm not
enough
for you?
i'll meet you down at juniper tonight
i'm coming back from jersey, want a ride?
you're crushing little diamonds in my eyes
i'm blacking out, i'm seeing summer skies
cuz when i met you by the station
i thought we'd be in isolation
oh, why is he here too?
i'm drowning here, baby am i not
enough
for you?
juniper, never again
juniper, i'm losing a friend
juniper, never again
juniper, black out: the end.

Been Someone
04:08
|
|||
|
i submit my resignation
to the department of desperation
and i submit my new reflection
that you're beautiful
and i submit this last confession
i have obsessions with obsession
and i tender for collection
this heart of gold
but i believe a voice
and you're not listening
if i collect the coins
i'll be there listening
you coulda been someone
you coulda been someone
you coulda been someone
you coulda been someone
and i submit for consideration
a life without occasion
and you know that i've been lost
there's no coming home
cuz i fell in love from branches
into the arms of all romantics
and i bloom at your touch.
but i believe a voice
and you're not listening
surrender to the boys
i'll be their witness.
you coulda been someone
you coulda been someone
you coulda been someone
you coulda been someone
been.
some.
one.
i believe the voice
the light's not flickering
i fell in love by choice
i'll stand up swinging
i coulda been someone
i coulda been someone
i coulda been someone
i coulda been someone
i wanna be someone
i wanna be someone
i gotta be someone
i'm gonna be someone.
gonna be.
some.
one.
