1.1979

Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet

Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn

We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know

Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess

Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored

They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see

That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured

To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound

Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,

Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it

To see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess

Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around

2.UGLY

I don't look in the mirror
I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer

I'll never see what you see
It's not me

So beautiful and free
I'll never be what you need
I can't help it at all

I was born so beautiful
But now I'm ugly

And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing

I know there's nothing I can say
To change

The judgement in their ways
I'll never be what you need
I can't help it at all

My love was so beautiful
But now I'm ugly
Yeah...

I'm good enough, but I don't care
I'm good enough, but I'm not there

I'm good enough, but I don't care
The sun is out, but I'm not there
(I can go anywhere)
I'm good enough, but I don't care
(...somewhere)

(I can go anywhere)
The sun is out, but I'm not there
(...somewhere)

(I can go anywhere)
I'm good enough (...somewhere)
(I can go anywhere)

I'm good enough (...somewhere)
I don't look in the mirror

I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer

I'll never see what you see
And I rot in my skin

As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing
Because I'm ugly

3.BELIEVE

Close your eyes
Until the sunlight dies

In your head a thousand stars
Through the darkness you can see a light
And if they steal your life

Your heart is still mine
I want to believe in you and I heard you

Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday...

There's a life I hide
Well I tried to disguise

And I can take you a million miles away
I want to believe in you and I heard you

Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear
On Sunday I made amends

For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you
Oooh...oooh...oooh...oooh
and I...

I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there's no other

I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there's no other

I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, (soft) you sing, a truth, a lover

I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing a truth, there's no other

I want to believe in you, dear
Sunday
Sunday

I want to make amends
For all my mistakes
May God speed be with you

4.CHERRY

listen-wanna just start it?...ready, flood?
yeah...1, 2, 3, 4)

stay with me, i'll set you free
'cause i can tell you once were pretty

rose so sad you've lost your petals
and lost the luster of your tattle tales

i need a love to help me find my way
i need a strength that i cannot betray

i need a word to say what i can't say

i need a lover, lover
i need a lover, lover

what are we waiting for?
what are we waiting for?

time has lost its hold on me
hatred sleeps inside my bones

in the stillness of cool air
all the boys have been left for dead

'cause we know where they fear to tread
the beautiful ones, the ones we'll remember
the precious ones, our greatest pretenders

i need a love to help me find my way
i need a strength that i cannot betray
i need a word to say what i can't say

i need a lover, lover
i need a lover, lover

and if you lose yourself
could you take me, too?

could you rest inside the sleep?
stay with me, i'll set you free from you
