1.Lament

You told me all about you, without ever saying a word.
Every time you opened your mouth it was my voice that I heard.
At least that's what I thought, or maybe I'm just lonely.
Believing every minute of every day, that you're the very only.

You led me on 'cause all your songs, were stuck onto my heart.
Why don't you finish what you start?

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna' change like that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna' change that way.

Before, you had to sing your songs, there was nothing else you
could do.
Well, I know all about it, 'cause I do it too.
I waited and waited and waited and waited for you to return
again.
And when you finally resurfaced, it was like I'd lost my best
friend.

You led me on 'cause all your songs, were really dear to me.
Ohhh!
I wish your words were still clear to me.

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna' change like that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna' change that way. No.

It's a fact and I can't fight it, it will always be unrequited.
If I had a bullet, I would bite it.
If you didn't mean it, why'd you write it? It will always be
unrequited.
If I had a bullet, I would bite it.

You can't come back that many times, there's no such thing as a
dull roar.
I promise I'll never make you wish it was like it was before.
I'll stop it before it gets like that, it doesn't matter how.
You'll only have good memories, the only time is now.

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna' change like that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna' change that way.

People wishing I'd come back.
I don't wanna' do that.
People crying for old days.
I don't wanna' change that way.


2.Cesspool

They took it away, they won't put it back.
They made all the water turn to black.
Their deed is washed up on my shore.
It was better the way it was before.
Check out this place I used to go.
None of my children'll ever know...never know.

Something's wrong but it could be right.
It's not like the day turning into night.
I'll tell you about it, I'll take you there.
You think about it, but you don't dare
To act for what we all deserve.
All we need is a little nerve...lot of nerve.

They'd do almost anything if the price was right enough.
Well, I might do anything to clean it up.

Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
Ooo, ooo-ooo.

They took it away, they're not gonna' put it back.
They think they've got me in a trap,
But there's one thing I'm prepared to do
To make this cesspool as good as new.
I'll get my guns and both of my friends.
We'll make some righteous amends...maybe we'll start a trend.

Take it, this cesspool.
Make it good as new.
Take it, this cesspool.
Make it good as new.

'Tis the circle of woe.
Summertime at home.


3.Your Way or the Highway

Well, you can look down your nose and tell me I'm no good,
But I'm just doing all I can, like I know I should.
Every time I stand, you tell me I should sit.
All the things that I try on, never seem to fit.

It's your way or the highway, either way you win.
I'm about to give up hope for you, you can't come in.

You open your mouth and make a fist before you know the facts.
Maybe you should see your face or look between the cracks.
You think I will respond when you tell me what to do.
I wish we weren't connected, 'cause I'd get along great without
you.

It's your way or the highway, either way you're right.
Everything I do is wrong, like sunbathing in the night.

It's your way or the highway, either way you win.
I'm about to give up hope for you, you can't come in.
It's your way or the highway, either way you're right.
I'll never be able to please you, you won't even let me fight.


4.Grateful

Somebody gave me this song, I just supplied the links.
I don't like to sit too long, for fear that I might sink.
I don't like to fly too far, for fear that I might fall.
Why can't I be steady, is there no middle ground at all?
All-all, all-all.

I need too much sleep, the days are always hazy.
Maybe I'll wake up some day, or maybe I'll get crazy.
Don't complain, you have it all, all there is is this.
Don't ever blink, just think of what you might miss.
Miss, miss

I have to go vomit now, but my mother isn't calling.
I don't like cliffs or roofs, I'm scared of jumping and falling.
Yesterday was years ago, I don't remember when I grew.
It might stop today, so can I spend the time with you?
You, you. You, you.

When I die, will I get to see everyone crying over me?
When I die, will I get to see everyone crying over me?
Oooooo!
When I die, will I get to see everyone crying over me?


5.Rain

You're lost beneath the sea
And you didn't wait for me.
You left me here, left me hangin' on.
When I knew you'd drowned,
Did you think I'd wait around?
When I woke up, you were already gone.

You could waste your life feeling lonely
Or you could waste your life feeling pain.
When you carry the weight of one too many yesterdays,
You won't know to come in from the rain.

You dug up your own grave.
You've no life left to save.
You're always saying, saying you can't go on.
Well, I've been beneath the sea
And I couldn't hardly see.
When I woke up, you were already gone.

I've wasted time feeling lonely.
I've wasted half my life feeling pain,
But at least I feel the weight upon my shoulder.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
At least I know to come in from the rain.
You won't know to come in from the rain.


6.Alright

How is it on the inside? They say you can't see the sun.
Do they lock up all the doors at night? Did they take away your
farm?
Do they stare at you? Do they make you talk? Do they watch you
every hour?
Wish I could hold you up, but I don't have the power.

Will you really be alright?
Promise me you'll sleep tonight.
Get back up off the ground.
Stop falling down.

They're slowly sucking from your bloodstream day by day.
Your eyes are tired and I don't like to look at you that way.
Bodies are walking back and forth. You can hear them moan.
Wish I could give you hope, but I can't do it alone.

Will you really be alright?
Promise me you'll sleep tonight.
Get back up off the ground.
Stop falling down.

Will you really be alright?
Maybe you'll come home tonight.
Get yourself up off the ground.
Stop falling down.


7.Dead and Gone

It was getting cold and I felt like I was drifting away.
So I pulled the wool over my eyes, it was heavy and warm
And when you acted like this was how it was supposed to be,
I really let it cover me.

But soon as you're dead and gone I'll see,
What wasn't always clear to me.
I will be free to bury you.

I woke up early and I looked into the sunny expanse of the sky,
Then I took one look at you and I knew that it was time for
something to die.
I'm giving back the sugar that you offered up.
It covers up the ache and the cavity, but it's not enough.

Soon as you're dead and gone i'll see,
What wasn't always clear to me.
I will be free to bury you forever.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ohhhhhh! Ohhhhh!

Now that you're dead and gone I'll take back
All that I always thought I knew.
They'd be the best things I can give away.


8.Don't Suck My Breath

Bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
Everybody hates me.
Take me with a grain of salt.
Everything bad will be my fault.

Angel bright, life and death.
Get off the world.
Don't suck my breath.
Don't suck my breath.

Cloud of doom on my head.
Land on someone else instead.
Your voice is all around.

Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna' die?

No matter, no form, I can't grab on
To me or you or anyone.
I wanna' float back to my friends.
I wanna' come back home again.

Angel bright, life and death.
Why don't you get off the world?

Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?

Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?
Oooooo!

Come on inside.
Come for a ride.
Do you wanna die?


9.You Don't Give Up

There you go again as soon as the going gets tough.
Are you finding that a diet of fluff won't fill you up?
That's a nice line, from where did you lift it?
You talk like heaven, you're amazingly gifted.
Show me a reason why your promises fall through.
Your kisses were okay, but you stole them too.

You don't give up, you're a loser disguised.
You voice your concern, but it's a pack of lies.
You don't really care, don't say that you do.
Save your breath for when you tell the truth.

You draw 'em all in and then you turn around and throw 'em away.
Better watch out for all of them who misconstrued your little
games.

You don't give up, you're a fool who really tries
to make innocent people think you're some kind of prize.
You don't really care, don't try to tell me you do.
Save your spit for when you shine my shoes.


10.Loose

( The Stooges Cover )

I took a ride with a pretty music.
I went down and, Baby, you can tell...uh-huh.
I took a ride with pretty music,
Now I'm putting it to you straight from hell.

I'll stick it deep inside.
I'll stick it deep inside,
'Cause I'm loose.

I feel fine with dancin', Baby.
I feel fine, I'm gonna' shake it, Lou...woooo!
I'm real fine with dancin', Baby,
'Cause it's love, yeah, I do believe.

I'll stick it deep inside.
I'll stick it deep inside,
'Cause I'm loose.

I took a ride...pretty baby.
I went down...Baby, you can tell.
I took a ride...pretty baby.
And I'm all...straight from hell.

And I will stick it deep inside.
And I'll stick it...huh.
'Cause I'm loose, 'cause I'm loose, 'cause I'm loose.


11.Outta my Head

It's my island, get off.
It's where I'll live.
I'll shake your face off my mind.
There'll be no trace of your kind.

I'll put it outta' my head, it's all I can do.
Nothing ever happens, where are you?
I'll try not to think, today's the new day.
I'll waste my time some other way.

I had a feeling or so I thought.
What seems true is often not.
I'll take my body and go away
and if I want to, I can stay...I can stay.

I'll put it outta' my head, it's all I can do.
Nothing ever happened, who are you?
I'll try not to think, today's a new day.
I'll waste my time some other way.

I'll put it outta' my head it's all I can do.
Nothing ever happened, where are you?
I'll try not to think, today's a new day.
I'll waste my time some other way.


12.Take Your Head Off my Shoulder

How many times does it take to know?
How many inches will your nose grow?
How many girls will you pull in tow?
How many minutes until you go?

Take your head off my shoulder, I'm asking you to.
I'm tired of all your charm, I'm tired of waiting on you.

Yeah, you're a pretty and a fascinating boy
but friends are people, they're not toys.
I'll take my pencil and I'll render you void.
All my tears are gonna come from joy.

Take your head off my shoulder, I'm asking you nicely.
I'm tired of all your charm, I'm tired of waiting for you.

I know a liar. His name is Cupid, I may be dumb but I'm not
stupid.


13.Not Just a Wish

(Take off)

Not just a wish-bone place to go
And it's not a sunhouse though.
Oooo-oooo-oooo.

Not just a wish-bone place to play
At the end of your working day.
Oooo-oooo-oooo.

Not just a wish-bone place for flight
And a chance for something real this night.

Not just a wish-bone, show you hair,
Hats and picks and cold underwear.

Not just a wish-bone, some airs like mine
People say I'm bound to all the time...oooo.

Not just a wish-bone, find me some fun.
Food and booze for everyone.
Oooo-oooo-oooo.
Oooo-oooo-wah.


14.Steamie Gregg

Oh you like so fine in your shaven head.
Not a hairdo but a hat instead.
Your shadow dances on that tv
Like no one did before.
You never look into the camera at me.
You're hiding something for sure.
Ooooh, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg.

Do you dream about me like I think about you?
You know that we'll meet someday.
You like me a lot and I'll move to your town.
We'll live happily forever that way.
Ooooh, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg, Steamie Gregg.

Laugh a little and sing some more.
Your sparkling eyes are only yours.


15.From Here to Burma

Thick as a wooden block, white-walled tire.
Thin as a blade of grass, pointed spire.

From here to Burma, The time it takes to get to you.
From here to Burma, How far it is from me to you.

Black as three a.m., chocolate swirl.
White as milk and snow, mother-of-pearl.

From here to Burma, The time it takes to get to you.
From here to Burma, How far it is from me to you.


16.Rain(Aka Better'n You)

You're lost beneath the sea
And you didn't wait for me.
You left me here, left me hangin' on.
When i knew you'd drowned,
Did you think i'd wait around?
When i woke up, you were already gone.

You could waste your life feeling lonely
Or you could waste your life feeling pain.
When you carry the weight of one too many yesterdays,
You won't know to come in from the rain.

You dug up your own grave.
You've no life left to save.
You're always saying, saying you can't go on.
Well, i've been beneath the sea
And i couldn't hardly see.
When i woke up, you were already gone.

I've wasted time feeling lonely.
I've wasted half my life feeling pain,
But at least i feel the weight upon my shoulder.
At least i know to come in from the rain.
At least i know to come in from the rain.
You won't know to come in from the rain.
