1. OUR HELL

First went wrong is hard to find
We're paralyzed, we apologize
Our hell is a good life
Last went wrong, where's my prize under the lights
Can we call it in ?
We'll be on the road
Can we stop ?
When we stop my back will turn your face towards the fence

What I thought it was it isn't now

All this weight, it's honest worse
We're moderate, we modernize
till our hell is a good life
All we know what to forget... how to do right
Coloring in the black hole
Can't we stop, when we stop
My hands will shake, my eyes will burn
My throat will ache, watching you turn
From me toward your friends

What I thought it was it isn't now
What I thought it was it isn't
Punishment to stall what is done
What I thought was in is missing out
What I thought it was it isn't now

There's a pattern in the system
There's a bullet in the gun
That's why I tried to save you
But it can't be done


2. DOCTOR BLIND

The one : Lack of Light
The two : Hollow Sea
The three : Poison Beaches
The four : Limousines
The five : Toothless Dentists
The six : Cops That Kill

My baby's got the lonesome lows
Don't quite go away overnight
Doctor blind just prescribe
The blue ones

If the dizzying highs
Don't subside overnight
Doctor blind just prescribe
The red ones

Hard to hold
Cold to touch
Fall to pieces
Treat the rush in hindsight
With prime time talk

All your pain
Will end here
Let the doctor
Soothe your brain, dear

My baby's got the lonesome lows
Don't quite go away overnight
Doctor blind just prescribe
The blue ones

If the dizzying highs
Don't subside overnight
Doctor blind just prescribe
The red ones


3. CROWD SURF OFF A CLIFF

Cursed with a love that you can't express
It's not for a fuck, or a kiss
Rather give the world away than wake up lonely
Everywhere and every way I see you with me

Crowd surf off a cliff
Land out on the ice
Crowd surf off to sea
float towards the beach

If you find me, hide me, I don't know where I've been

Are we breathing? Are we wasting our breath?
It won't be enough to be rich
All the babies tucked away in their beds
We're out here screaming
The life that you thought through is gone
Can't want out, the ending outlasting the mood
I wake up lonely

If you find me, hide me, I don't know where I've been
When you phone me tell me everything I did
If I'm sorry you lost me you'd better make it quick
Cause this call costs a fortune and it's late where you live

Rather give the world away than wake up lonely
Everywhere and every way I see you with me
All the babies tucked away in their beds
We're out here screaming
The life that you thought through is gone
Can't want out, the ending outlasting the mood
I wake up lonely


4. DETECTIVE DAUGHTER

She was calling around to find half an hour
She walked right into my mirror
Says she's here to waste time I said "That's fine."
Listen, to thyself be true
Every thread, every hair re-arranged to resemble
You could have her, detective daughter copy
Please don't be me
There are so many skirts under the table
None of these long legs are mine
She calls around finds me crying, wish i were capable of lying
sometimes
Love is real, real is love
Love is asking to be loved
Hell is real, real is love
Hell is living love
Hide out and then run when no one's looking

She's still calling around to find half an hour
She'll always have a place in the mirror
She's got no more time, i said "That's fine"
I'm all out too

To thyself be true


5. THE LOTTERY

I only wanted what everyone wanted since bras started burning up ribs in the sixties
Favors aflying, faces afalling and all I desire is to never be waiting
If that's a crime, let's commit it
There's a new crime, sexual suicide

When our underwire radio tears into their international airwaves
Boredom will die, ears will bleed
And all they'll desire is to give, and to please...

There's a new crime, sexual suicide
There's a new crime, let's commit it
While we're waiting on the next day
To begin it in the best way

There's a new crime, sexual suicide
There's a new crime, let's commit it

Don't worry Heather, about forever
Don't worry about me
It's the lottery, baby, everybody roll the dice
It's the lottery, baby. Everybody roll the dice

Will we always be like little kids running grove to grove, asking
Who loves me? Don't know who loves me
It's pathetic, it's impossible
Like girls in stilettos
Like girls in stilettos
Like girls in stilettos running to run



6. THE MAID NEEDS A MAID

Bros before hos
Disagree on the sideline

Fight for a fee
The man needs a maid
The maid needs a maid

Bros before hos
Is a rule read the guidelines

You trouble me
Your breasts heave when you sing
Your mouth should be working for me
For free

Sewing up the fold
Cause 've been laid off
Would you put on the fire for me,
Draw the bath and remind me to eat?
You won't need a real job
You won't need a real job because i would love to pay for you
You could be a good wife to me
I would love to pay for you
You are the maid for me


7. MOSTLY WAVING

Young, thought as I was
Thought as I was
Thought as I was
Done, thought as I was
Thought as I was
Thought as I was

Get, get the line down
Get the line down
Get the line down
Don't elaborate like that
You frighten off the frat boys,
Use your baby talk.
Frighten off, frighten on

This fog, the blues are brown
So turn your horse around now
Blue's a brown
Missing and mostly waving
Thought as I was
Done, thought as I was
Young, thought as I was


8. READING IN BED

Who's in a bad mood?
Who's in a taxi?
Turning the clock back
Avoiding a fight with this man
He is meeting, stands in the lobby
Counting his questions in the neon light

Sinking under the river
Sewer line touches the edge of the suburbs
Back to the beach where
A family is waiting
On rumors of summer
Lay out a blanket, bring something to feed the birds

With all the luck you've had, why are your songs so sad?
Sing from a book you're reading in bed and took to heart
All your lives unled, reading in bed


9. NOTHING & NOWHERE

Sketching your faces, I still don't know you are permanent, permanent
You want all of the moments stolen
Blind alleys and hallways to basements
How you gunna hide 'til you disappear?
Because nothing and nowhere is golden

Apartments are cages, I still don't know what is permanent, permanent
Maybe all my posessions were precious
Truth is all my posessions I somehow lost 'em
Been travelling so light and we're floating by
Seems nothing and nowhere is golden

Some say we're lost in space
Some say we're falling off the page
Some say our life is insane
But it isn't insane on paper

Playgrounds are graveyards and all of our scars are permanent, permanent
There's no replacement for places
I'll always love you, you're mine
Numb is the new high, old memories die out 'till
Nothing and nowhere is golden

Some say we always only wanting to get off
Some say our hands are much too soft
Some say our life is insane
But it isn't insane on paper

Some say our hair is in our eyes
Some say we're out of our little minds
Some say our life is insane
But it isn't insane on paper to have to ask


10. THE LAST PAGE

Hover through the foggy vapours
Until I see you in a dream
Singing animals to sleep...

By the way, it's over without you
I'm in the way, I'm in the way

Lights out to midnight
Sleep all day

Dark and quiet, only the owls are watching,
Only the sky is up and I'm leaving for a place
From Another time, just to be near you, just to be near you, just to be near you

I'm in the way, I'm in the way

Don't become the one you hated.
Death is absolutely safe, billion bibles mark the last page.

I've gotta move through the days without you here
I get a shock, shock hurts to heal

I've gotta move through the weeks without you here,
I get a shock, shock hurts to heal
Shock, shock hurts to heal
Hurts to heal


11. WINNING

To never open a book, always reading a magazine
Out-spent betting, if it looks like winning
You haven't been

Knives don't have your back
I wait and I count
But knives don't have your back
I wait and I count to the last breath we take
What we make doesn't make sense
What's a wolf without a pack?
Open your chest and take the heart from it
Open your chest
What's bad? We'll fix it
What's wrong? We'll make it all right
All right, It's gone, we'll find it
Takes so long, we've got time
All the time

Some part of you, too small to lose
Some part of you, too small to lose
All of us, all of you. All of us, all of you
Counting to the last breath we take
What we make doesn't make sense
What's a wolf without a pack?
Open your chest and take the heart from it
When you talk, can I tape you?
How'd you get what we don't know?
We don't know how to help
Only know how to hound
Nose to the grindstone
Grindstone to the ground

Don't even visit that place
They'll sharpen their teeth on your smile
I'm glad you didn't
All our songs will be lullabies in no time

What's bad? What's wrong? Make it all right
All right, it's gone, so long
We've got time, all the time
All the time
