Saturn's Rings
03:38
|
|||
|
Saturn's rings are slowly slipping down your finger
Will they linger longer, or get stronger?
And how will I know?
It's not hard, just tell me which way to go.
Orbiting, like thirty-three tiny diamonds,
you can find them shining, but they're blinding
your view of the sun.
I guess it's hard to see the brightest one.
And I'm green with envy,
red with anger
white with fear from an imagined danger.
But most of all, I'm blue with loneliness.
Can it be, that we are on separate journeys,
and we're turning slowly? So I'm going
in for the approach.
But it's so hard, when I'm limited by Roche.
And I am a lonesome, lonely volcano.
But I breathe no fire, my desire
comes through just as ice.
I know it's hard, but would it kill you to be nice?
And it's hard to know (I will)
which way you'll go (always)
when you dance around in circles (wonder, wonder)
Why won't you confess (What could)
you want to say yes? (have been)
You just dance around in circles. (always, always)
It's so hard to know (If you)
which way you're gonna go (had been)
when you dance around in circles (closer, closer)
And I'm so depressed, (But you)
'cause you won't say yes. (were so far)
You just dance around in circles. (always, always)
So it goes, the slaughterhouse will devour
every hour of mine, and I'm resigned
to a Goya-ish fate.
But it's so hard, when I know I'm to late.

Emo Kid
04:28
|
|||
|
Every single night
I cry out my eyes.
But let me be clear,
I don't mean with tears.
I don't wanna see
myself in the mirror.
I am too ugly.
Can't I disappear?
Every time that I feel up, I fall down.
Every time I hit the ground, there's mud.
Sarah missed the squad,
But they made her mascot.
Went to every game,
Just to feel the pain.
'Cause the quarterback
Didn't know her name.
They both wore their masks,
Were they not the same?
Every time that she felt up, she fell down.
Every time she hit the ground, there was mud.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, we know,
It's not okay to be so emo.
Yeah yeah yeah just cuff me,
I'm depressed and feeling grumpy.
Sammy's heart had sunk,
He'd become a punk.
Trying to impress,
He never looked his best.
But the stupid girl,
She sold out I guess.
Sarah joined the world,
And made his life a mess.
Every time that he felt up, he fell down.
Every time he hit the ground, there was mud.
Trite as it may be,
I'm just so lonely.
And every time I find a dime,
Some dork has glued it to the floor.
And every time, I fall apart inside.
I can't take any more.

Cold Was the Night
05:55
|
|||
|
Cold was the night
that he left you behind
without a trace
except the tear
that is sliding down your face
Your pulse picks up the pace
as your heart pushes anger through your veins.
He was vain. And conceited.
You know that now.
You know that now he's off with someone else,
and you're alone.
And you're alone.
He seemed so sincere,
When he told you that he loved you,
but underneath the veneer,
he thought himself above you.
Bright is the light of the fire in your mind,
Once you've doused his whole house in gasoline.
Hard are the bullets that are riddling his brain.
You're shaking, and taking your ritalin again.
Soft is the bed, where you now lay down your head.
Where you spoon-fed him your ice cream,
and then spooned into a wet dream.
It was the first place that he said it,
and you wish you could forget it,
'cause as sure as you're alive,
you know it was a lie.
He seemed so sincere,
When he told you that he loved you,
but underneath the veneer,
he thought himself above you.
He held you tight,
as the sun was descending,
but, your friends were right -
he was so condescending.
Descending down your face
are a thousand little tears,
that drip into your ears
as you lay down on your back,
looking back
staring at the ceiling.
Wondering if this feeling
will ever pass, go,
and collect two hundred dollars.
But why even bother,
when all you can do
is cry?
and cry.
So cry until there's no tears left,
until your hearts at rest,
until you want to die
until you don't know why
you ever cried.

Selfless Doubt
05:18
|
|||
|
Well, I'm having trouble finding out
if there's such a thing as selfless doubt.
But I'm in love with you,
yeah I'm in love with you.
And I'm holding down the fort tonight,
all alone, I know, but it's alright.
Cause I'm in love with you,
yeah I'm in love with you.
When I see your eyes descend on mine,
and suddenly I realize you're mine. You're mine.
And I know that you're out there somewhere,
in a dance hall filled with musty air.
But I don't even care.
No I don't even care.
'Cause I know a girl just needs her fun,
and you'll come back home when you are done,
Cause you know you know I'm the one,
and I know you're the one.
When I see your eyes descend on mine,
and suddenly I realize you're mine. You're mine.
And I temporarily go blind
but it's okay, I stay inside. I'm fine, I'm fine.
And I'm waiting for that very day
when you come right through that door and say
"I'm in love with you, yeah I'm in love with you"
And the tears roll down in pools and lakes,
and I kiss them right up off your face.
cause I'm in love wtih you, yeah I'm in love with you.
And you're winding away,
and I'm wasting away
so I'm finding a way
to bring you back
And you're backing away,
and you're backing off,
but I'm not backing down.
Let's see how this winds up.
Just please don't break me up.

50 Years From Now
02:53
|
|||
|
Fifty years from now,
I'll be watching your eyes,
holding your hand.
And I'll wonder how
we lived our lives.
I won't understand.
I know that I have made mistakes,
But I'll do whatever it takes.
Fifty years from now,
we'll be out on the beach,
nothing in mind.
And I'll wonder how
we'll ever be reached.
But we won't mind.
Imagine forgetting, just leaving all your cares behind.
Imagine our wedding, I see it right now in my mind.
Fifty years from now.

Elizabeth
03:11
|
|||
|
And I take a breath
of sweet oxygen
and I hold it in
for a while.
When Elizabeth
passes by.
And I say hi
with a smile.
I can't seem to keep straight
the difference 'tween heaven and your face.
But, I will sing to you every night, my child.
And I let it out
breath and tears
but I keep the fears
deep inside.
And I go without
food and sleep
so that I can keep
my new bride.
I can't seem to keep straight
the difference 'tween heaven and your face.
But, I will sing to you every night, my child.

The Plight of Mr. Atlas
03:43
|
|||
|
I am under the world,
but I don't know if it's crashing down on me
or if I'm holding it up, by sheer will.
But I sure will,
if it needs be, to save humanity
from the plague of ever touching me.
I am not responsible
if everything crumbles and falls
Why should I be
when it means that I have surely fallen too?
I have fallen for you,
but I don't know which way I've fallen to.
Was it towards, or away, from the world?
Maybe it was both,
and I fell away, and the world came tumbling after
crashing down. crumbling. crushing me.
Oh, I don't have anywhere to run.
Run some tests to see what I've become.
Come away with me and we'll be free.
Come away with me, and we'll be there.
Their a million miles away from us.
Assuming we're somewhere, we can leave.
We'll be free.

Pirates y Ninjas
05:29
|

|
She was a girl with a mustache.
I just got off a pirate ship.
And I don't think that I was being brave,
but I do think she could have use a little shave.
I didn't feel very desperate,
so I politely declined.
And I knew right away, I could tell
she wasn't gonna take it very well.
And I don't wanna hurt you, but I'm not a pirate.
I don't plunder, or steal. When I want something I buy it.
Turns out that she was a ninja,
with judo chops and upper cuts.
And my friends just stood back and laughed
as she kicked my butt.
So long, so long, so long, so long.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Blackbeard's Delight
04:25
|
|||
|
I got to heaven
and my name was Kevin.
I thought, that's pretty weird.
And I had a beard
that was full grown.
But I was all alone.
You see, everybody
had disappeared.
So I let myself in,
and found a chair.
But when I closed my eyes,
they were all there.
Waiting for me
to start the surprise party.
Cool.
I can't remember
when I have felt better.
It's much cooler than here.
It's not just the beard,
because up there
they all have facial hair.
The girls, they have it too.
Just kidding dude.
But do not be afraid,
you will not care
about things like dates,
sleeping, or food -
it goes straight through ya,
worse than diarrhea.
gross.
And it's funny,
once you get there
then you won't care
about money or fame.
And your teeth will
not be rotten.
Light like cotton.
Only peace will remain.
I don't think I will ever go back, don't send me back.
I'm finally happy more than I'm sad, don't send me back.
Don't send me back.

Fish Song
07:27
|
|||
|
A fish in a bowl
can grow very old
and still stay small.
still stay small.
But put in the sea,
then he will be
not as small,
no not at all.
Oh how I wish
that you were a fish
who still stayed small,
still stayed small.
But I know some day
you will swim away,
and never call,
never call.
Then you'll have a life,
and find a fishy wife,
but that's not all,
that's not all.
Then you'll have a kid,
just like your daddy did,
who won't stay small,
won't stay small.
Oh how you'll wish,
that you were a fish,
oh don't we all,
don't we all,
who had grown old,
inside a bowl,
and still stayed small,
still stayed small.
If I were a fish in the sea
with friends and fish family,
then I wouldn't have any cares,
and I could piss anywhere.
I drove to the bay,
from San Jose,
to Monterey,
Monterey.
Where they have a tank,
not from an army base,
where fishes play
every day.
To smell the smell
of fish and kelp
every day,
every day
would make me sick,
but it'd be worth it
to keep you safe.
Every day.

So Warm
04:36
|
|||
|
When I look at you,
I know that we will be okay,
because there's not a worry on your face.
And it may be true,
that you worry all the time,
But you don't have to worry that you're mine.
I can't think of anyone I'd rather be with now,
and I know that that won't change.
Let me tell you this,
Just as long as you're around
I know I'll have my feet down on the ground.
And when we kiss,
It sets off fireworks at the fair,
and I am floating in the air.
I can't think of anyone I'd rather be with now,
and I know that that won't change.
When I come home through the door,
to a scene I've seen before,
So warm,
I have to wonder
Where in the world I would be
If my wife were not with me.
You see,
I'd be torn assunder.
So just take this calloused hand
'Cause I do not ever plan
To land
Back on that earthly mother.
We'll stay on this asteroid,
with nothing to fill the void
Except each other.
