I Want You to Stay

i want you to stay
but it's not ok.
please say you know what i mean
i want you to stay
but you've got to fall asleep first.
I'm not gonna share my dream
but I wanna say
I want you to stay
I want you to stay
just don't stay right by me
touch but please don't feel the animals
you could get cut by their beak

Not Getting Dark
02:37
|
|||
|
i get a drink and walk to the park
it's not getting dark, and it's not gonna be getting dark.
I did it right- I made up my mind, and gave myself time.
i look around
for things on the ground-
washers from car shops
that rolled down the sidewalk.
i wear them as rings
so all the drunks will wanna kiss me
but i don't know about these things

Said The Wrong Thing
04:22
|
|||
|
shameagain i said the wrong thing
turnaway to save your face
you don't deserve to have a race
disgrace
disgrace
disgrace
turn toward your disgrace
you don't deserve to have that face
disgrace
disgrace
disgrace
i was a kid, i said the wrong thing
the adults laughed and kept talking
their bladeofshame cut my skin
it went in
and then
nothing else really happened
you looked at me, i said the wrong thing
when you just wanted me to listen
i can't believe im still so sick
i'm sick
it's sick it's sick

Scratched Mirror
02:58
|
|||
|
you're looking at me like a mirror
you don't really want to hear
the words that would describe
the feelings outside
the reflections of your life
press the body into a square
and polish my face
until all you see is your face.
go and set myself up
over in the corner of the room...
anyone can take a look.. anyone can read my book.
i've gotta sing my selfish song, though it's wrong.

Bodies Coiled
02:44
|
|||
|
a wave of clarity like i'm sick
i step out into the bright grey
voice of the outside,
and respond the best that i can
with mine.
bodies coiled round themselves
hungry mouth bites off the tail.
bodies coiled around themselves
modern mouth bites off the tail.
the taste is right the taste is right
the taste is bitter and so right
bodies coiled around themselves
bodies coiled around themselves
i don't ever want to eat again
the more i lose the more i win
i don't ever want to suck that ring
i live above all of this...
bodies coiled around themselves...

Neither Did I
02:54
|
|||
|
i know you wanted to ride your bike
but we didn't have time
i know you wanted to stay inside
but we had to go outside
i know you didn't ask for this life
well neither did i
i know you wanted to ride your bike, you know i didn't ask for a child
you are not the boy of my dreams
sometimes that's just the way it seems
when i watch you in your sleep -
that's when you serve my needs
that's when you serve my needs, you'll make a mother out of me

You'll Wanna Talk
04:06
|
|||
|
i know
when you have a drink
you'll wanna talk
about how
you think you did me wrong
that's something that we never did resolve.
you know, just because it hurts my head
to see what you did
doesn't mean that i lay any blame
in your bed- that's not how i wanna think about it
that's not how i choose to feel about it.
i don't
know why it hurt how it did
i know
it's not wrong
but they say that i's an ugly feeling.
well then
i must
be an ugly human being
the one i love
ran off with my best friend
but i
told a joke,
stole him back again.

Score by Morricone
02:43
|
|||
|
making a movie of yourself
your a dreamfulfiller
a dream, a killer, a gunslinger who needs no armor
you wanna ride right into town
knock a few heads around
flexing for an admiring crowd
your one step toward the grave
and one cliche away from needing a score by morricone

Empty House
03:25
|
|||
|
empty house welcomes me
" don't be coy
i know you know me . i'm the goldfish that eats until it's dead.
the girl with blood on her arms".
empty house wants me
says "pride is an artifact of you're being seen
but i am no one with sharp eyes.
i'll never never tell you a lie."
