Wait!
We never got that far
With you always seeming to have gone away
Say!
We never got that far
'Cause you've gone and run away
You've gone and run away

Gutters lined with hooks and buoys
catching the scaled, bloated feasts
Sense of the fingers' hold and pulling
apart at the weak seams
The teeth that are sharp in the bleeding carp's heart
Give the smallest jerk for more air
You'll get revenge
on the jugular
The gravel's surrounding us, m' baby
in its insular-like radar
washing me away

You Guys

Ashes were flying, yeah
The remains of those still trying to make their mark
Got so caught up in their Art
It was hard to see their hearts trying to kick through anew
They said, "One more for the sake of the score!
Let's take turns passing 'round the urn!"
But oh no no
Little Joe-Joe, he got burned
Couldn't imagine picking him up
Must've been like an empty cup with a crack on its side
Would've cried if they'd only tried
But it goes downhill from there, see
Jack & Jill wouldn't look at me
When smoke gets in your eyes, "That's it!"

The Mountaintop Cops

And the hillside pills
turn themselves in
to the mountaintop cops
Off the beaten trail, on a binge
Inch back to the fringe
Benefits, benefits
I think I'm a veteran now

Never knew you to be so calm
How come the sudden change of heartbeat?
Are you just so lonesome giving in
to the end of the beginning?
You used to get so excited
But oh no, not anymore
Never knew you to be so calm
How come the sudden change of heartbeat?
Are you just some lonesome giving in
to the beginning of the end?

Awful lot like an awful mess
I guess it's all still new to you
Keeping up with the Joneses jonesing
Keeping up with the Jones' jonesing
It ain't ever just up to saints
(that's what I did best)
to live and then die and radiate
(never second-guessed)
in paints
(Just where I belonged)
(In my favorite song)
Keeping up with the Joneses jonesing
Keeping up with the Jones' jonesing

Has Tracey gone a-tracing
to that place that everyone's erasing
I'll bet she's gone a-tracing now
All the knuckles you'd have to crack
Jeff'd need to lead the marble attack
All the knuckles he would have to crack
If Fellini could frame the dark
I'm sure that Mark's motorini will start
If Fellini could find a place to park
Still Heather's coat is still cool
The kind of leather they make in the schools
Still Heather's coat is so damn cool
Rome is a four-letter word
Do you "cappice?" is all I've heard
Rome is a four-letter word
Nobody makes love like the birds

There'll be no golden years for us

My One & Only Sunshine
02:50
|

|
I was in the dark
with my one and only sunshine
I could hear her bark
Hands running down around my...
Just on a lark
I gave her all that I had
Forget all the stones
abducting all disfunctions
You're my calling
Coming over
like it or not
