1.Antonio Carlos Jobim
Why are you here？
Couldn't you tell him？
Were you afraid he'd hear？
You should have been thankful to be alone
You took off your shoes
Said anything further would be bad news
Cos you'd already started to disappear
And he couldn't complain
Just looked at yourlyric and crossed over to play
A record of quiet instrumentals
And i like what you wrote
This is a record full of sour notes
You should've been thankful to be alone
And i like what you wrote
But don't say you mean it when you know you don't
You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
You should have been thankful to be alone
2.Bastard John
Come here in silence and kiss me quiet lying on the floor
I'm acting dumb like you wanted
But i'm not your kid anymore
I'm not your bastard john
Just because i played along
I'm not your bastard john
Just because i played along
You're just a comma
You give me pause with your temporary charm
But i'm distorted
Can't you see it when i'm underneath you
Trying not to look alarmed
I'm not your bastard john
Just because i played along
I'm not your bastard john
I'm not your bastard john
So don't try to fake me out
With some bulls＊＊＊ promise that you didn't have to say
You present to me
Just keeps on giving every damn day
I'm not your bastard john
3.Busted Lip
I must have looked hysterical trying to get away
Riding on an avalanche of things you just don't say
I wanted someone's company, but to her i'm just some guy
And i got a busted lip on a silent night
I was in your car that night going out of town
I know something's gotta go and i guess i'll go now
White knuckles on the wheel and a pain above
That's how mother nature treats everyone she loves
Chorus：
So drive out
So have a drink (？)
Got a silent busted lip
You wanna make me just like yourself
Till i like ？？？？？
He's looking at you now
Like a little dove
True love blinking on and off
Like a bad bulb
And when he breaks himself in two
You say you must be high
But people just always do
It makes them feel alive
Chorus
Hey little bird sing!
Hey little bird sing!
Hey little bird sing!
Hey little bird sing!
4.Collect To Nyc
You're a silence on the phone
Yo're a song with just one f＊＊＊ing note
And i'm clued out cole
Like an off-color joke
When i call collect to nyc
Everybody learns eventually
To go hang it up
You go hang it up
It's really really easy
Yeah i put your letter down
But this graffiti finds its way around
I want to talk
Why you want to stop？
It's impossible for me
So here's my trick： when i hear your 'hello'
I know i'm listening to alcohol
Oh, i'm drunk on a call
I heard you found some other guy
Some high note you thought i couldn't hit
But i never tried
No i never did
5.Disappearing Ink
You could've rubbed me out and filled in the blanks
You're the one that wants to be the one to thank
But my body up and left me
While i was waiting to be filled in
I'm someone else
I'm not myself i'm someone else
I'm not myself i'm someone else
I haven't been seen so i'm not myself
A light bulb went off in my head
Suddenly i'm none of the things you said
Did my body up and leave me？
Or did someone finally fill me？
(oh!) i still feel like a fake
I still have to lie
Still feel like a fake
Like i could disappear befroe your eyes
You could've rubbed me out
You could've rubbed me out
You could've rubbed me out
You could've rubbed me out
The muscle in your handshake
Puts the punchline to your jokes
But your voice don't fill your throat
And i won't fall to pieces like you think
You can't cure me
Or write me off with a wink
You can't even catch me
I've been drawn in disappearing ink
6.Flame!
I always find out too late
I always find out too late
You wouldn't believe what i'm on
In all this time i found nothing to live without it for
Chorus：
Help me only
Help me only
Help me get on my feet
I feel like turning me down
I feel like turning me down
Good to see ya anne maria (？)
I never was anything
Can't be happy or unhappy
You wouldn't believe what i'm on
In all this time i found nothing to live without it for
Oh, what are you now？
Oh, what are you now？
What's wrong with you little flame？
What's wrong with you little flame？
I been trying to cool off for so long
In all this time i found nothing to stop real pain
Chorus
7.Hitting On The Waiter
I'm so sick of having hope
Pushing the envelope
With empty threats and false teeth
My drink's been poured by a cannibal
And my corpse ain't even cold
And you want to take it away from me
I know you'll take the blue ribbon
I shop myself with the starting gun
You're more cop than speeder
Hitting onthe waiter
And eating off the plate of the enemy
But i'd rather just forget about the jerking in my sleep
And the hollow words under me
But i've got second thoughts again
Second thoughts again
Or am i second guessing
Or just in second place？
I've got a one year old hangover
Feels like i never will recover
But i can keep a poker face
For the rest of the chase
8.It's Not A Prop
I'll be shutting down soon
Didn't mean to be so let down
I don't know why he left the room
Couldn't keep his attention
I'll be switching off soon
It's never going to happen
Feel like i've been put in my place
A secret admirer for life
The drink in my hand ain't no prop
It's what's left of my collapsing night
Who do i lean my ladder against
To get over my embarrassment
I want him without regret
I want it written in cement
Such a sucker for attention
To wipe the dust off my still life
The drink in my hand ain't no prop
It's what's left of my collapsing night
I'm not moving
I can't calm down
I won't say anything
I won't remember any names
I'm not moving
I can't calm down
I won't remember anything
I'm just going back to bed
Prosecute myself all night
I'm my own biggest threat
Said nothing wrong but i can't get it right
9.Nightcap
Sweet miranda made a burning in my throat
And i'm slumped in the bathtub like a sunken boat
So when will you leave me
When will you leave me
When will you leave me
Leave me alone for a while？
Cos i can't try
To be happy without you
Leave me to my bourbon
It's a private kind of thing
And don't bother to tell me what you really think
Cos i left everything that meant something
So i could become something
If you ever see me in the arms of a gutter out in the 'burbs
Just say man he's finally getting all the love he deserves
10.Sleeping Pill
I've been transformed in my sleep
Thrown into next week
I've got something i can't keep
Woke up with a shorter reach
Walking thru a concussion
And the dosage that's left of you
Throw away it's a toss up
Dropped outta the contest to throw up
Heard you dropped my name
Heard you dropped it all the time
Time
Time
Time
You smile goes around your head
Like you can see from behind
You're always hanging one step behind
It's numbing the things you don't say
Throw away it's a toss up
Dropped outta the contest to throw up
Heard you dropped my name
Heard you drop them all the time
Your smile goes around your head
So you don't have to move to show off your good side
That wasn't so hard to swallow
Went down easy as a capsule
Went down easy as a candle
As soon as you got a new angle
This town just gets smaller
And all my friends have new names
Like tylenol
Demerol
Anacin
Excedrin
11.Something To Lose
Framed hands make the moon come down
I'm sick of my plans
Tired of waiting around
I can't try cos i know that you need somebody tonight
Something to lose
I'm waiting for a sign
Something to lose
You're always looking down from a picture frame
It's sickening how we just get in each other's way
I can't be shocked like i was before
So don't throw your rocks at my window no more
12.Temper
Been digging up this ditch for a long time now
So i can push my temper underneath the ground
Where there's room for me and you
Come on, don't be a fool
I can't get out underneath this dirty cool
Die laughing
Die laughing
You just get angry, man
You just get upset
And you lie quiet but you can't get used to it
So we curl up in here in this dirty cool
And we're laughing
And we're laughing and crying too
Die laughing
Die laughing
I hear you now
Die laughing
Why can't you be happy？
Why aren't you now？
Die laughing
I can hear you now
13.Trap Door
What a monster this kissing disease
Did the paramedic bring you back？
Or was he dropping you off for the night
In broad daylight？
I can't stand up in here
I hit my head on your trap door
Can't come down to see you
Because i'm not that kind of girl
Why should i listen？
You already kissed him
And already replaced him
The telephone is my enemy now
I'm giving in if i make a call
How could i lose to a weaker hand
Lie down lie down it's bigger than i can stand
Up in here
I hit my head on your trap door
Can't come down to see you
Because i'm not that kind of girl
Why should i listen？
You already kissed him
And already replaced him
You always cut me off and in half
And think you can put it back
I know i've been had but ii'll still take you home
So lie down lie down you're leaving just standing up
14.Why Did I Decide To Stay？
Kept my coat on
While you put your empty arms around me
Kept my shirt on
And wrestled my memory down
When i put my arm around you
I had to hold my mand in place
I didn't move to keep you from feeling chased
Dropping off
You smile easy
What was i supposed to say？
Hits the ground
And it dies easy
Why did i decide to stay？
Looks like i should forget you now
Underneath the covers i'm not naked
Maybe you were never next to me
Does all recorded history start tomorrow morning？
Did you forget or were your kisses my final warning？
A spent bullet brought me down
Add me to the list you stopped with blanks
Or how about a rundown of the top 100
Where do i rank
Did i even make the list
Or did i make a big mistake？
Dropping off
You smile easy
What was i supposed to say
