One Big Joke 03:07
lyrics
buy track
I told you ‘bout my misery Now I don’t want your sympathy I just want to disappear Before I change my mind You said I wasn’t serious Now I want to get off the bus Another year has disappeared I’m leaving it behind I can remember all of your lines So filled with wonder and such a waste of time What a fool I’ve made of my heart You tore my soul apart I think it’s safe to say I want to get away If it’s all the same to me I’ll spare you of my company A better man will take your hand And lead you to the wine I’m sleeping on your bed of nails And passing out it’s bound to fail I’m giving you an IOU And bidding this goodbye I can remember all of your lies You wanted some purpose what a waste of time What a fool I’ve made of my heart You tore my soul apart I think it’s safe to say I want to get away

Sounds Like Summer 02:29
lyrics

This is all I am I tried to make you smile But all I got was “Oh my God, oh my God” I want a better world One that doesn’t sigh I’m tired of feeling terrified, terrified This sounds like summer Bring back the girls Throw away the winter in my world She opened up the door I turned around and smiled Now all I’ve got are butterflies, butterflies Standing on the ledge A planetary swirl Lifted up my eyes This sounds like summer Bring back the girls Throw away the winter in my world Good God don’t you realize Good God don’t you realize Good God don’t you realize I was a man now I’m nothing but an empty shell You got me hook, line, and sinkin’ down the wishing well This is all I am I thought I’d make it shine But all I got was a different line, a different lie I dreamed a girl I dreamed a girl I dreamed a girl

Yours Is The Only World 04:35
lyrics
buy track
I wish I was part of the witches curse Or the fahrenheit of a fireburst Or the coldest night or an endless thirst But of all of the fates in my universe Yours is the Yours is the only world Her unfaltering trust filling every glass His insensitive heart saying every drops the last Maybe it’s better to say nothing than to tell the truth In the gutter fell down the lost souls of youth Yours is the Yours is the only world From two shades below I’ve seen your Elysian Fields With no hope of heaven to you I’ve appealed A love citadel shutting out the light In this city of ruin oh my paragon of the night Yours is the Yours is the only world A season in hell is the permanent lie Scratching his back as you kiss him goodbye

Happy Home 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Time to rise up, but no time to shine Swim a few laps in the shallow end Of my happy home Fear, my happy home Blue eyes, satisfied, smiling with the son The little girl cries at the porky pies In my happy home Tears, my happy home I never wanted to go far, I’m satisfied Pull up a thought and have it barred, I’m satisfied To tell the truth would seem so Novela de Guadalupe And now I’m running round and round, dissatisfied Surprise. It’s alive. The virus and the gun Will take a few lives but they’re not my guys From my happy home Fear, my happy home No one answers, they all pretend Another day lost and at such a cost In my happy home Tears, my happy home

I'll Drink To That 04:30
lyrics
buy track
I’ll drink to that You won’t be coming back I’ll drink to that I don’t regret the fact And hardly a day goes by Without a nod to my good friend Give a whiskey to the men in the back She says Jimmy’s all she needs Why’d he go and flip the car Now he’s hanging on a star without me I’ll drink to that Close my eyes can’t bring ‘em back I’ll drink to that You won’t be coming back As everybody knows You gotta find your way out alone Don’t give me one, don’t give me two; decline I will hang on to my mind I’ll drink to that Close my eyes can’t bring ‘em back I’ll drink to that You won’t be coming back

I'm Feeling Fine 02:35
lyrics

I’m feeling fine Watching the teardrops fall With your hand in mine We stumble until we fall I want to believe it’s all okay I want to take you back home god damn I’m feeling fine Watching the teardrops fall And she’s feeling like running around the block And the millionth time I settle into a shot of Tequila The mockingbird does sing I’m feeling fine Watching the teardrops fall With your hand in mine We stumble until we fall I want to believe it’s all okay I want to take you back home god damn I’m feeling fine Watching the teardrops fall

Going, Going, Gone 02:33
lyrics
buy track
Annie was trying to find an expressive quote One that would compliment Steven’s anecdote A terrible writer His goal was to slight her Telling all her friends that he’d changed his mind Then what she said was not enough To want to take her home If I was the one to turn these walls to rubble Then you were the one to trip me when I stumbled Another “God, I’m sorry” Another blue Monday We always were that married couple And what he said was just enough To make her walk away She’s having too much fun So Annie got her gun She left the keys inside and turned to walk Don’t forget to turn the lights off Where are you going now... Where are you going now... And don’t forget to write

Supernatural Gurl 02:49

How do you find a supernatural girl How do you get to know her And all the things in her world Don’t take me How do you find a supernatural girl How do you get to know her And all the things in her world Don’t take me Feeling fine Getting lost in her one-track mind Realize we’re high How do you find a supernatural girl How do you get to know her And all the things in her world Please tell me How do you know she thinks you’re funny I’ve seen this all before How do you know she’ll take his money Silly man don’t do her favors How do you find a supernatural girl How do you get to know her And all the things in her world Don’t take me Feeling fine Getting lost in her one-track mind Realize we’re high How do you find

The Good Soldier (Trilogy) 02:12
lyrics
buy track
I’ve tried to mend The love that ended Long ago although we still pretend Our love is surely coming to an end Don’t waste the time you’ve got to love again We tried to lie But you and I Know better than to let each other lie The thought of lying to you makes me cry Counting up the time that’s passed us by I’ve sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand And if it does I hope that you will understand that I must leave In a while And though I smile You know the smile is only there to hide What I’m really feeling deep inside Just a face where I can hang my pride Goodbye... Goodbye... Goodbye...
