Always Goodbye

I looked into the sleepless white light
bathing everyone I knew
I was bored but I couldn't scream
I just sniffed it's glue
In a dream I was lying to be caught
practicing to be a black hole's door
give me one more night on Earth
I'll go poor
After two weeks of buddha and buddha
I heard my cell phone ring
it could not have been no one calling
it was always buddha calling
I saw the flower in a photo
bloomed more fully than I could recall
I touched my hand against the surface
nothing at all

Last Year

last year was harder than any before you kept your watch
by the door, I've nothing to say to the past anymore, awhattamoment is
if you knew only how heavy I feel after you left
it got real, stuck to the highway through mountains and fields, a whatta tease, love
answer me answer me, say what you will
don't be so still,
it scares me
drink what you want and the glass will stay filled
oh whatta drink

All that I can or could be, a feeling for life
I'm a pig
The pig who walked away

everyone's wild about moloch
uh I think I should be
dreaming all about moloch
and what it means to me
but oh if I only knew him
then I think I'd see
I can't hide
I can't...

Million Dollar Bill
02:43
|
|
||
|
I want to touch you like a million dollar bill, roll you up
and hold you close to me until your time comes,
your time is coming
you can give me everything I want
you could give everybody something they ain't got
you and me, people don't like what they see
I'll take you out on friday anyway
we'll be the best kept and most arrived
people talk and I know you hear them
taking ad space in the bathroom mirror
I got small change but when I look at you
your big eyes, they hold me like glue
You want to leave me but before you go,
give me one chance...

The Price On Your Head
02:25
|
|
||
|
if I had a lot of money I could do you very well, with a diamond for the trouble in your heart
but I could not rescue you, I couldn't even tie your shoe the price on your head now
you really think you wear it well coming in and out your door
the crown somebody thought that you could use
they give you little bows politely seeing how to judge you
by your shoes
now it's getting heavy and there's bags under your eyes
i could only ask, do you understand
there ain't no living in the money given in the price on your head now

When You're Down
01:41
|
|

|
when you're down drive me round, we're together now
when you're down you can tell a lie even compromise,
oh wow.
people say everything carries a meaning
don't you know there's no such thing as hate only love for something that would take it's place
when you're down you make me down too, I really like what you do
when you're down you really part the scene people say they know what you mean
people say people say people say...
don't you know there's no such thing as people only something
to help you solve for equal

No
01:32

|

|
I can't go along with you, do you
know there's nothing I can do, do you?
I can't go on in your direction you're
throwing money at a life, I get in your face
for inspection so you can see me crying
No
do you?
you'll find somebody, anybody, who can fill your void
I couldn't turn away,
thank god I've been destroyed
