how do you feel about being in love?
how do you feel about being in love?
you never seem to notice where your heart belongs
you never seem to follow where your heart belongs
how do you feel about being alive?
how do you feel about living a lie?
you never seem to notice where your mind is going to
you never seem to notice anything you do
you never seem to know that one plus one is forever
leslie and the sorken
living on the weak ends
leslie and the sorken
living on the weekends

with or without us
03:40
|
|||
well i dont know how we get along today
with all the dirty tricks we play
and i dont know why standing in line's okay
and who taught you to think that way?
there's so much beauty in our ugly world today
just look at all the stupid things we say
there's so much beauty in our ugly world today
i said it once and i'll say it again
its the farthest we been since the man on the moon
he's wavin at me but he's lookin bout you
every now and then the people change
first they change and then they fade away
know not who to believe in
know not who to agree with
theres so many people in our ugly world today
and they all think standing in line's okay
its the farthest we been since the man on the moon
he's winkin at me but he's thinkin bout you
ahhhhhhAHahhAHHH
the world is kinda lonely
dont you think?
what can you do?
the world will keep on going
with or without me
with or without you
there's so much violence on the evening news
violence is fashion and fashion's what we choose
so much changing and so little room
but no one sends flowers to the moon
i got a postcard in the mail today
it was for you but i lost it on the way
lost like lovers livin far apart
lost like letters to santa claus
its the farthest we been since the boy in the box
well he used to be me
and i used to be rocks
the world is kinda lonely
dont you think?
what can you do?
the world will keep on going
with or without me
with or without you
it's farthest we been since the man on the moon
well he's winkin at me but thinkin bout'chuuu
uuuuOOOOOUUUUUUU...

saw the big black bear a comin
grab your babe and start a runnin
up the hills
down the streets
through a field
up a big pine tree
i bet you were scared
i bet you were scared
saw the big black bear approachin
not the time of year for poachin
but you told your son
go get the gun
black bear's comin
run boy run
i bet you were scared
i bet you were scared
saw the hunters raise their guns and
shot into the firey sun and
up the hills
down the streets
came a bullet with an eagle's wings
i bet you were scared
of the bullet that shot the bear
and he whispered in my ear
man, you dropped your bag
i bet you were scared
of somethin that was never there

upside down with hands in pockets
bitin down on crystal chocolates
5 in deeper gonna save my soul
and the panther roar is sorry he ever mewed at all
kids are swimmin in dirty waters
soon they're swimmin with sons and daughters
pull the plug in the bathroom drain
and whoops goes the toy boat
swimmin in a puddle of mud
and i seen the rainman put it in you
and i seen the rainman dance before you
and i saw a little too much and whoops goes the tin man
he's rusted up and freezin again
holy man
i need your water
cuz im savin myself for you
holy man
i need your hail mary
cuz im hatin myself for you
and all of those things under my bed were your fault
sid and nancy lookin at the children
wanna run wanna run into them
stay a while in a velvet suit
til youre growin roots in the ceiling and wooden hard floors
holy man gonna take you through the motions
holy man got some magic in the ocean
sittin pretty in an atom bomb shell
diffuse to the sounds of all the holy magic at will
je m'pelle amor a jut ti adora
je m'pelle amor a jut ti adora
mona me sol esta aqui
para vivir in el sotano
y sonrei con amores y yo
i wanna take you to the lovers in the city of blow
and i feel its about time now

but my lungs wont last
so take me to that city away

take a sip of your hickory lips
and the clouds will hit
and take me to that city away

the savage
04:59
|
|||
where will we go when our bodies die?
floatin in the wind on the phosphorous skies
cuz they called him a savage
they called him a villain
a menace to society
an abuser of women
well lovers fly existence is nothin
thousands of people
without any faces
founded the city
of the civilized masses
the leaders ashamed of what they had created
bowed to the knees of their fathers to thank them
for resisting the temptation to hate them
and are you still willing to follow?
a world that is green
a world that is clean
of the art and the passion
that made it obscene
and are you still full of sorrow?
sorrow that hurt
sorrow that cured
any thing and everything of history's worth
The savage was hiding
the people were running
to see such a beast with charming and cunning
he wished to free them from bondage to dreamin
while poet's were dyin for the sake of convenience
but what would a savage know about human beings?
he was rushed to an office
and handed some tablets
as controllers gave him lectures bout playin with matches
i wont you to know friend
i did not kill your mother
she died tragically in a craze ridden stupor
nothin we can do bout life jackets made of rubber
and are you still willing to follow?
a world that is green
a world that is clean
of the art and the passion
that made it obscene
and are you still fighting babies in bottles?
drunk on their wine
in assembly lines
waiting on the prisms
through which they see nothin
they were shocked and bemused
when they found the savage
hangin from a lamppost
a martyr for madness
i want you to know friend
i did not kill your brother
he fell forty stories from the empire state building
you ought to have read what they wrote in the papers
conditioning disturbed by a savage's murder
but no one could possibly continue reading
with savages disturbing the city's peacekeeping
leaders are leadin
believers are bleedin
the only ones makin changes have the least of creedence
and are you still willing to follow?
a world that is green
a world that is clean
of the art and the passion
that made it obscene
and are you still chasing babies in bottles?
drunk on their wine
in assembly lines
waiting for the prisms
through which they see nothin
behind stained glass
where nobody goes
are the portals leading to history's doors
and the protal will only open for those
praying to ford for a little bit more
and a little bit more is why we are whores
and a little bit more is why we are whores
and are you still full of sorrow
sorrow that hurt
sorrow that cured
everything and anything in history's worth
and history's words are a little off curb
history's words are a little absurd

acid rain
03:58
|
|||
people always complainin bout acid in the rain and
people always mopin liftin middle fingers
but i dont mind them
and i dont fight them
people always bitchin bout the president
and people always sayin represent
but what for? i dont mind them
and what for? i dont mind second
i took a ride on a southbound train
departed from the artic
wound up in space
i got a call from an old friend
sayin my baby got caught
in barbed wire fence
people always complainin over landfill greases
when there's women and children bein blown to pieces
but i dont mind the masses
with their pint sized telephones
and poles up their asses
i saw my baby with deep holes in his eyes
for a choker collar gonna keep him in line
there were three coffins under an american flag
but not one of them was breathin-
breathin alive
your loves missin
mines gone too
ill let him be if i can talk about you
livin large
most satisfied
might ease the tension but wont ease the ride
people laughin at the violet rays
and people always pointin at the milky way
but i cant stop them dreamin
cuz without them seein
there aint no believin
theres a hole in the ozone i just cant fix
cuz them methane gasses already been lit
i found a how do you do
in the back of my pocket
and a pistol rocket
without the heart to cock it
your hearts black?
mines dark too
i found an ashtray
and some pictures
but i cant find you
roses in your teeth
daisys my eyes
four years late can still be a surprise
come and catch your rye
and dry your runnin eyes
its a sick
backwards
and shitty world
but you wouldnt be happy
anywhere else
so why dont you smile?
why dont you smile?
its a sick
backwards
and shitty world
but you wouldnt be happy
anywhere else
so why dont you smile?

her name
03:43
|

never know a shadow's touch
or phatom limbs can hurt that much
all ya know's her name
and pap's picture frame
daddy's stressed
can you guess?
he marks the dark spots on your dress
grown up feelins change
but you guess its been the same
here in your heart lies the answers
here in your heart lies your cancer
smell of bakin cookies honey
is never here is always only
another's window pane
but you guess it's been the same
uphill in the snow you stand
no brown bags in your hand
tears melt the frozen rain
and you dont know why again
how do you avoid self-destruction
when here in your mind you think nothin of it
well id like to know
tell me little girl
i'd like to know
if sugar, spice and puppy tails
is what makes up little girls
which is scabby knees?
and is bravery one of these?
take some time to recognize
her eyes are just a green disguise
can someone take her home?
so she wont walk alone
here in your heart lies the answers
here in your heart lies your cancer
oh i'd like to know
tell me little girl
i'd like to know
how do you avoid self-destruction
when here in your mind
you think nothin of it
i'd like to know
tell me little girl
i'd like to know

to be elated?

fetal position in the bathtub drain
head in the faucet lookin up at rain
and the curtain is closed
waitin for the blood rush up to my head

many more than once i have froze
before i let go
ooooEEEEoooEEEoo
close your eyes and ill kiss you in the mornin
ooooEEEEoooEEEoo

and laughed at what i found

03:50
|
|||
All and all
i lost my gun
i never thought id be
the only one
i did a two step
on a three by four
lost my balance
fell through a trap door
the ups man
took my package away
not til xmasis all
the postman would say
i ate a nana
feelin sorry for me
as my package
flew off on a jet plane
all has gone away
til next christmas day
i drew you a picture of me
next to an 8-legged cloud
man of chalk
lies out on the street
backyard railroad tracks
they sing to me
there's a spider
outside of my window
the crickets say
that he waits for me
i have a friend who cries when he eats
i have a brother who screams in his sleep
there's a man who's dressed in black
he holds my hand and gives my package back
all has gone away
til next christmas day
hey there anchor man
what good news
do you have now?
and you never...
healin me
and you never...
hearin me
and you never...
healin me
