“The Beautiful People”

Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
With lack of memory I fail to question why
With perfect sound you bring me down hey I’m not listening
You’re through killing me with all your facts and late night therapy
Like “Paul’s Boutique” on empty streets parked and
Waiting for lights to turn on for the good luck
And drunk on your parents’ favorite wine

All the things I remember
Were they worth writing down
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T’s
Like air guitar in muscle cars with “perfect teeth”
The way we are

Back in ’95 more def than alive
I wrote the screenplay to lack of direction
Late night movie “dates” with girls who skate and I just can’t relate
I’m through with school ’cause I broke the rules
Now I work for the man and I’m drunk once again
Watching reruns of night court on cable TV

All the things I remember
Were they worth writing down
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T’s
Like air guitar in muscle cars with “perfect teeth”
The way we are

Wake up, thought that everybody loved me
Wake up, thought that everybody cared
Wake up, thought that I might have the strength to carry on
Wake up, turns out that I’m barely barely holding on

Hey hey hey it’s been quite a long time
I I I don’t miss last November
Alright, yeah it’s time for a high-five
Hey hey hey it’s been quite a long time

Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
With lack of memory I fail to question why
Why?

Dark Blue

I have (I have) you breathing down my neck (breathing down my neck)
I don’t (don’t know) what you could possibly expect under this condition so
I’ll wait (I’ll wait) for the ambulance to come (ambulance to come)
Pick us up off the floor
What did you possibly expect under this condition so

Slow down.. this night’s a perfect shade of
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning ’til there’s nothing but dark blue..
Just dark blue

This flood (this flood) is slowly rising up swallowing the ground
Beneath my feet, Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition so
I’ll swim (I’ll swim) as the water rises up, the sun is sinking down
And now all I can see are the planets in a row
Suggesting it’s best that I slow down

This night’s a perfect shade of
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning dark blue

We were boxing
We were boxing the stars
We were boxing (we were boxing)
You were swinging for Mars
And then the water reached the West Coast
And took the power lines (the power lines)
And it was me and you (this could last forever)
And the whole town under water
There was nothing we could do
It was dark blue

Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning now there’s nothing but dark blue

If you’ve ever been alone you’ll know dark blue
If you’ve ever been alone you’ll know (you’ll know)

“Acoustic #3”

The Greener Grass

When you cry
Try not to smile
You could fill up a lake

With the tears of a crocodile
We were too young
To be eating crow
As if I would know

(I’m scared)
11 hours till the electric arcs
(I’m scared)
Send scorches through the sky
(I’m scared)
Than the whole earth opens wide

And I cannot wait for the earthquake
That buries us in a warm grave
The one-legged race, on our last leg
The will is yours, so just take it

The will is yours
I’d rather find jesus outside of a book
The same thing goes for robin hood

Never darken my door again
If opportunity knocks, let’s make him beg
Let’s make him beg

Yeah, where did you go?
I promise I will kill you right now
Oh, where did you go?
Bring a match while you feather your nest
Yeah, where did you go?
I promise I will kill you right now

You could fill up a lake
With the tears of a crocodile

You lead by the nose and always get lost
(I cannot wait for the earthquake)
We always get lost
(to bury me in a cold grave)

Get outta this town
Hatchet men yelling timber
Will get us chopped down
Get outta this hell
Off this rusted train track
You still take lying down

So swing us around
While you’re armed to the tooth
Keep yourself in the dark
Of some deep cobalt blue
So swing us around
By the skin of your teeth
Writing us off in invisible ink
So swing us around
While you’re armed to the tooth
Keep yourself in the dark
Of some deep cobalt blue
So swing us around
By the skin of your teeth
Writing us off in invisible ink

You can still find me
Between devils and deep blue seas
In the desert’s hands
On a sheet of sand
A dry tidal wave
Over my feet of clay
On unfinished glass

Looking for greener grass

Trying to make the welkin ring
But all my sounds are boomerangs

Yeah, where did you go?
I promise I will kill you right now
Oh, where did you go?
Bring a match while you feather your nest
Yeah, where did you go?
I promise you I will kill you right now

Not today, not again
Dress it up in stolen silver and garbage
