Don't Fight

Well I used to live
By the mountainside
There were so many
Places to hide
Now I can't hide there
Don't hide there anymore
There's no hope running
From that storm
Now I'm all grown up
And the forest is gone
And you have built
Such a terrible machine
And we're all just a spinning cog
I answer to a plasma screen
You got your boots
You got your rubber love
Your bags are packed
Your headed out
That door
Oh what do you do
When your friends are sad
And stoned
You can't get the wine stains
Out of your rug
Now I sail off
On the softest wind
And I don't know where I'm going
But you should have seen the storm
I'm going out to meet myself
Well I don't fight it, don't fight it anymore
I'll only go and hurt myself
Well I don't fight it, don't fight it anymore

Black Eyed Susan
You really are a wreck now
Where do you get those craters for your eyes
That slug for your spine
Oh black eyed Susan
There's no shame to claim
That it's the last time again
The last time again
Whoa black eyed Susan
Oh don't you lie
You say you try
You must be on the losing side
Running from the tide
Oh black eyed Susan
Oh now's the time
Whoa black eyed Susan
Oh now's the time
To end the lie

Where Ya Been

Baby where you been
I'm locked in your prison
Your sorry singin' dragged me in
And three months ago
You had me laying in a hole
You had me laying in a hole in the ground
Now I'm the colour red
But I'm better off dead
I'd be better off dead than with you
Don't see ya coming down those tracks
Ain't no turning back
There can be no turning back for you
Now I'm no politician
No master mathematician
I can do the addition it's true
And all those men you been kissin'
Well I have not been missin'
The sorry old sight of you
Now I'm the colour red
And I'm better off dead
I'd be better off dead than with you
Don't see you coming down those tracks
Ain't no turning back
There can be no turning back for you
Just a lonely pet
Forever in your debt
You called my name
I came
Forever a slave
Until I'm in the grave
You call my name
I came
Came
Oh I came
I've been livin' in the ocean
Livin' in slow motion
With absolute devotion to you
Acting all emotional
Being such a social
Being such a social life for you
Now I'm the color red
But I'm better off dead
I'd be better off dead than with you
Don't see me coming up those tracks
Ain't no turning back
There can be no turning back for you
I'm just your pet
Forever in your debt
You called my name I came
But no longer a slave
No longer in the grave
You called my name I came

Dirty Air
05:49
|
|

Kiddies keep on playin'
In the sand while you can
Before too long
You'll be pressed against
A glowing iPad
You don't know what you're doing
You don't know what you're doing
Fukushima radiation
Leaking into my brain
But how do we hang the leader
If we're all to blame
Well I just lay there on the couch
Too petrified to come out
Till my commuting forces me
To take a new route
Till my commuting forces me
To take a new route
Well I'm not one
To give advice
To strangers or kin
But look at where we're goin
And how it's bound to end
Poppin pills and dining bottles
Work for us in the past
But I'm afraid
This dirty air could never last
Well I'm afraid
This dirty air could never last
You could see
The desperation coming from their eyes
But where could we be tomorrow
Without our thin disguise
Well I just lay there on the couch
Too petrified to come out
Till my commuting forces me
To take a new route
Till my commuting forces me
To take a new route

Well I got a problem
And you've got one too I bet,
But I know just what to do
You got to shove it
Deep down in side and
Hope that one day it dies
When finally we're old and wise
You gotta agitate to procreate
Dump my baby in toxic waste
Dump my baby in toxic waste it's fine
Whats the use in debating
All the time it's taking
Debating wasted time
But we're all doing fine
Try an be honest from time to time, well
The sunshine lifts
And every things left behind
Behind, behind
What's this thing that living in the back of my mind
Slithers it's way down my spine
All these english ways that we've got to sustain
I sure hope I don't discorporate
Why's it taking so much time to sort out all our things
You got to carry them around until you're drunk and crippled
So you're drunk and crippled now
We're just fine
Try an be honest from time to time
You'll find
When you open up
And let others in
You can begin
To finish what is in
What is he in

People Are Lame
04:16
|
|

The people who know me are fewer and few
I'm so far from lonely
To explain is no use
Much rather be inside my own head
Than seeking approval
And wasting my breath
I can't revert back to my crooked past
The longer I wait
The harder the task
Deep blue trees
Orange leaves
Exploding stars
phosphorescent oceans
