Well it starts like this
You're not like the other guests
You're a rainbow
I could see it from the time
I saw you in that dress
Well, Shame's let up
We've come so far
We were angels
Making deals with
Perfect strangers
In the backseat of some car
So tell me
You burned a little shining gold
Our skin could never feel the cold
lets turn this record over so
we can escape
We're young
Not concerned of where we'll land
Or if we'll ever come down
Leave the earth to wonder what became
Of two wild nobodys hell-bent for making it
Where they are
Oh! Where they've been
Imagine what they'd say
It carried them away
In the middle of the night
With out a site
Two wild nobodys hell-bent for leaving this tar pit town
Baby lets burn it down
Oh you're not like me
But we see each other's symmetry
Casting prayers
Soaking wet with
Thrilling dangers
I could be your highway queen
So lets go now
Before they know we're not at home
Let them wonder
Flip the rock
That they've been under
It'll do them good to know
So tell me
Spinning wheels on sinking sands
Wont do us good
No matter how we paint it
It's misunderstood
I'm the chain-link messenger
And you're that wrecking ball
One swing will take them all down
Screw this town
Baby lets burn it down

Nothing says I love you
Like your face in the window
Seems like we're out of time
Still, I hear your voice
Send my breath all akimbo
No choice but to run and hide
I heard your record made it big
You're off to a good start
I'll see you for another fix
Turn off my TV Rest my head on the wall
It's the quiet that doen't mix
Well there's no complaining
When you've got a game plan
Still this is draining
An incidental life span
Is it worth your restraining?
More than just a mad man
Reputation, we're gaining
Keep your conscious spick and span
Ah looky here
Looks like we've run out of ideas
Looking back I will remember that
It has always been this way
Oh just before
You kiss away that dying flame
Take a good look at all the things
You'll be missing out on getting
Because I'm happy to oblige you
Change the battery
Let me make you part of the decision
You could use the flattery
You're not likely to retain this
Shows your plan you see
It's pathetic
When you keep on drowning despite
Your circuitry
Gather up your clutch supplies
Meet me out front
I'll wait for your signal there
If they see you coming just
Abandon the mission
I'll meet you in the next town and
That bank on the corner's
Got a real tricky combo
I've seen it a hundred times
Shake what you don't need
Its only material
Escape from the box you're tried

It's been a year again
The time goes quick with anticipation of
Having to watch your grin
Sitting there with all your
Quiet pretentions of
There's no motion
Your head turns around the other way
For me it's every second
To you its
Just another day
Your words do no good under oath
You don't get to have that control
I'll take it as far as I'll go
Now watch as I grow what you
Stole a kiss, your hands did slip
Growing dark remember this
Sipping quiet hands did trip
Growing dark remember this
As I'm falling, I keep running this little scene
Hands on neck
See I just checked
No one's around to hear you scream
No matter what you plead its your doubt I'll feed
I hear its gonna rain today
Just look at that dress
They say you're a mess
I'm feeling such a lovely way
Your flirt you tease made me weak in my knees
Can't shake this smile off my face
No words no truth you were under my roof
But I don't have to live there anymore
Still have that scar across my hip
Where they rocks they did dig
Sipping quiet hands did trip
Growing dark remember this
It's not my burden to carry around anymore
Dropped that long ago
Like the dress you willingly tore

Be a shame to waste this day
When we're not promised more
Sky could collapse at anytime I know
You're thinking
What's it for
Can't see the lining in the rubble right now
Spread out on the floor
Take what is needed leave the rest to burn
Tomorrow will be different, I am sure
Stop and take an inventory of what is
Working for you right now
Chances are you'll end up with some idea
You would have folded anyhow
Staying in recovering bravery
I'll sit here quietly
Waiting patiently
Well I'm a little skeptical
When the colors match too well
Nature doesn't coordinate them rhythms I know
I'm an endless wishing spell
Seems almost hysterical to think about
Summer's lapsed in ignorance
Your shameless youth lost in the sediment
And washed to match the rest out on that line
And if it helps
I'll draw a map
Save us from wasting attention
We don't have a second oh no
Waiver to sign
Put down your pen
Danger's waiting
She don't look to patient Oh no
We don't hear all those old lines
Reactions depending
Its more than just me here this time
Writing these lines
Seems a little cynical
Shutting down the sea
Cutting down a forest shuts the air you breath
But its safe to fall asleep
Someone will be here when you awake
Let your head rest down on me
I tell you its just the best feeling
Knowing I can be here when you need

Nothing to See
03:17

Like a train coming out of the station
I awoke to day
I'm leaving hibernation
I can sense the changing winds in all directions
I'll be gone before they have any suspection
See I'm wanted for a crime against a code
For taking up space though I carried the load
And they wont stop until I'm hung by my wills
I refused to heed their words and swallow their pills
Nothing to see
There's nothing to see here now
There's nothing to see
There's nothing to see here now
When you're born into a life as a slave
They shove you in the skirt
And tell you to behave
Wash your hands
Suck it in
Wait your turn
You're a sin
Don't you dirty up your nose
Better keep them legs close
Always thought I's be the lucky kind
But I woke up today and saw how I was blind
In my blood, I'm not exempt
Was a worthy attempt
I'm defined by my company
And places I've slept
This is a call for
Your greatest intentions
Come off suspension
Do you like it in that box
Is it what you imagined
Four walls and a top
Just enough room to stand in
They're gonna be mad
Bring you the hatchet
No chance take it back
Gonna swing
Can you catch it
I see it in your face
You're no stranger to question
But its not a race
Did I fail to mention?
Here I am i
In your face on your screen
Making ends meet
I'm a damn good machine
But at night I'm a mess
Paid nonetheless
My body's the escape you'd never confess
Outside the jury they meets to make a claim
Think they know it right but wont ask me my name
Let your gavel down slow
Yeah you put on a show
Give me nine to learn my lesson
One more to grow

I see my own lines
With detailed dimensions
I've carried bricks around
With agile pretentions
Now we can breathe
Hard to believe
We held a place
We kept a seat
For you so long
No listen closely
Don't you cover your ears
I'll give you one bittersweet
Wish that you could be here
Well that's a lie
But we get by
On knowing that
OUr tongues were tied
When it came time to say
What happened that night
It's not hard to see
The blanket slips each time
We're wrapped inside
It's not hard to conceive
But you say you didn't know
wha-oh-oh
Thats why I'm telling you now
I'm off the rails but I like it
I came to dance
And I wont be sitting down
You cut a rug
But you ain't
Keeping time with me
I heard her voice
She said you get flies with honey
Well tell you what
Them little words
Never did much for me
When you get flies
You'll often find
It isn't time until
The maggots eat all your shit
I lace my tongue these days
With just a little vinegar
Enough to keep it all clean
But not b e particular
I'm not a nice girl
Have advice
Have your laments heard
By someone who gets paid

Why don't we take a little detour
Up to my room
Got my voice yeah
You got my understanding
Now I want to get to know you
I like your smile
I like your voice
You got me thinking
What's your choice
Are you gonna be my girl tonight?
Listen here
Let's be clear
I'm full, I've got a big life
There's no filling up the void
I got a full set of good times
What you bringing to me boy?
Got something I ain't seen?
Right
Use them words
I'm listening, I'm here
Got all night
Because I'm not trying to stay
See you walked in that way
Leave your ideas at the door
Or turn and walk away
It's not gonna make a difference today
Gotta be better than what I got
See yeah its doesn't take much for me to notice
I see you baby all the time
Have another chance
And then you'll show this
Promise that you're gonna be just fine
Have some patience
take your time
Maybe I will come around
I'm not going anywhere

Starts with a breath
And you will never be let down
This is not the last time
I will see your face in this town
Start with the breath
And we ended up a mess
This is not the last time
I will make a fool of myself
I'll never stop
I'll never stop
It's 6 am
And we are walking circles now
Around your room
I've seen that poster
About ten thousand times now
The sun's coming up
Over the bridge we saw downtown
This is not the last time
I will make a fool of myself
This is ridiculous you're breaking my heart down

New Crush

I know your type
I've seen you before
Different skin
Where have you been?
You're easy to adore
And you wont find it easy
Pull back my shades
Got all them stars
All across your chest
I'm falling in cascades
Oh my
Look who's got my
Attention now
You grabbed ahold
Of my dirty little ways
And I don't know how
Could I be
Falling for your sweet mouth candy
Wouldn't be surprised
It's a new month
Here's my new crush
My heart feels
Over sized
You got me smitten
I'm grinning ear to ear
I feel the flush of my red skin
Whenever you are near
And what will we do with
All of these sweet collides
We both know
Time's ugly blow
And how the brain misguides
Waiting by the phone today
I got excited when
I saw your name across the screen
What is it with this man
And his silly ways
Feel so blissful right now
I'm dancing on a cloud
But I know
This is gonna hurt

Third Time
03:14
|

|
You shake them bones
Seams come affray
Stitch it all yeah back together
Save the rest for another day
Little bit of heart
Just enough to shove
Sandy tombs got all the weather now
Me and you we got the love
It's crazy to think we've been here
Watching from a distance
Craving when standing so near
Didn't miss a step
Watching us
Shaking with fear
What is gonna happen
Third times the charm don't you know
Oh what was that?
Where you hiding now?
Catch you heading down
To old Columbia
Cold didn't suit you anyhow
Little bit of heart
Just enough to show
Sandy tombs got all the weather now
You and me we got the love

Rockets Set Go

Really isn't that much time for this
Still this isn't something to dismiss
Let's reminisce
I'll make a list
Of all the ways to go with this
Classically you've felt unstoppable
You never listen to what's impossible
Make it all comical
Everything's audible
Save for what is logical
There's and undetermined road
That's in your way
You could
Take a stab at it alone
Or Stand and wait
There wont be a second chance
No baby yeah it's too late
Rockets set, go
Don't hesitate
Off you go you're bar up
Oh so high
Grab the scaffold
Of which you can rely
It's worth a try
Hook and eye
If it fits
I don't care why
Doesn't matter if I should return
Just hit the gas and
Let those engines burn
I'll never learn
Breath after breath
without a concern
