"Lonely Lockdown Hurricane"

"Lonely Lockdown Hurricane"



That wind a-blowin'
It's getting strong
The rain a'fallin'
Been falling too long

The pressure in the clouds has changed
Death rattles our window panes
Honey, we're in a lockdown hurricane

They tried to warn us
I didn't care
Said don't be stupid
Get out of there

And now I know it's much too late
Who will discover the remains?
Honey we're in a lockdown hurricane

Don't you see it?
We're goddamn fools
We always had to break the rules

That wind a-blowin'
It's getting strong
The rain a'fallin'
Been falling too long

The pressure in the house has changed
Death rattles our window panes
Honey, we're in a lockdown hurricane

"Looking Out The Window With A Blue Hat On"

"Looking Out The Window With A Blue Hat On"



Oh she comes on like a fog
And then she goes out
Like a neurotic dog
So now i'm sitting here
Thinking all day long
Looking out the window
With a blue hat on

Find me an open grave
Just push me in
Then let me up to live again

So she bought a little book
And filled it up with names
She never shook
So i'm just one of them
Thinking all day long
Looking out the window
With a blue hat on

Find me a sky high cliff
Just let me try
To jump right off
Maybe i'll fly

"Looking Up"

"Looking Up"



Oh, it's looking up
Let me tell you what I mean
Used to be kind of bitter
Always had a babysitter
But I'm feeling much fitter

Now I'm kind of sweet
Back on my feet
Walking down the street
Yeah, I'm looking up
It's looking up

I used to be cruel
Kind of a tool
Like a damn fool
Now I'm oh so kind
'Cause the world's mine
I'm a real find

Yeah, it's looking up
I'm looking up
I'm looking up
It's looking up
Yeah, I'm looking up

I never had a clue, man
How it was gonna go
But it goes to show you
You just never know

It took a little while
But I'm a real fine man now
Never could, but I always can now
Time has healed me

Can you feel me looking up?
(Looking up)
Yeah, it's looking up
(Looking up)
I'm looking up
(Looking up)

Looking up
(Looking up)

Time has healed me
(Looking up)

Can you feel me looking up?

I'm looking up
(Looking up)
Looking up
(Looking up)

It took a little while
But I'm a real fine man now
(Looking up)
Never could but I always can now
(Looking up)

I'm looking up
(Looking up)

I'm looking up

"Losing Streak"

"Losing Streak"



Was i wrong about the world
It's a beautiful new place
Where else could a creep like me
Meet such a pretty face

Meeting every day with the rising sun
Looking up it's looking like
My losing streak is done

Used to always feel like
Wished that i was dressed better
Never had a lot of luck
Until i finally met her

Feeling like the weight that weighed a ton
Lifted off my shoulders now
My losing streak is done

Always felt like giving in
To the feeling i can't win
But i took it on the chin
Now i'm finally cashing in

Meeting every day with the rising sun
Looking up it's looking like
My losing streak is done

My losing streak is done
I said my losing streak is done
Did you hear me
I said my losing streak is done

"Love Of The Loveless"

"Love Of The Loveless"



Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
If there's a god up there
Something above
God shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless

Don't have too many friends
Never felt at home
Always been my own man
Pretty much alone
I know how to get through
And when push comes to shove
I got something that you need
I got the love
Love of the loveless

All around you people walking
Empty hearts and voices talking
Looking for and finding
Nothing

Don't got a lot of time
Don't really care
Not selling anything
Buyer beware
If there's a god up there
Something above
God shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless

Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
Love of the loveless

"Man Up"

"Man Up"



In my heart of hearts I know it well
Been giving myself the soft sell
Anyone can see that i've been running away
Not facing the day that's here

It's time to man up
I'm man enough
It's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you
It's time to man up

The phone is off, the blinds are down
Me and my heart are out of town
The sign is hammered up
Do not disturb
Don't say another word to me

It's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you
It's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you
It's time to man up

In my heart of hearts I know it well
I hit the ground hard when I fell
Not licking wounds but more like sewing them up
Man it was rough for me

But it's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you
It's time to man up
I'm man enough
I'm man enough for you
It's time to man up

"Manchester Girl"

"Manchester Girl"



She hides in the library reading
Henry miller books
'til they flash the lights it's time to go
When she was a little kid she said
"dad, i don't know why
I feel so penniless inside"

She's on the promenade
She's looking for a dress
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl

Oh i'll meet you there
By the old newsstand
Oh i'll meet you there tonight

Shoot-out at the neighbor's house
She pulls the covers on her head
She's counting the shots as they go by
And pandora's litter box
Well it's gettin' mighty high
That cat's gonna keep her up at night

Another scary dream
Another cigarette
She's locked outside a world
Just a manchester girl

Oh i'll meet you there
By the old newsstand
Oh i'll meet you there tonight

"Manchild"

"Manchild"



And every time you crave for me i'm here
And anything you hunger for i'll share
And i will be quietly standing by
While slowly i am dying inside

Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one
Who can feel like i am a child in love

Every time i talk to you you're down
And every time you need a laugh i'm around
And when you forget i'm here i'm not
It isn't really me that you forgot

Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one
Who can feel like i am a child in love

Whisper now and tell me how
You'll watch me and tell me
Somehow i'm gonna be alright

"Mansions Of Los Feliz"

"Mansions Of Los Feliz"



Well it's a pretty bad place outside this door
I could go out there but I don't see what for
And I'm happy living here in the dark
On the edge of my mind
And it's nobody else's business
Now it's just me myself and the secrets that live within the walls
of the mansions of los feliz

Well the city's on fire you can smell the flesh
And the screams like dogs in the wilderness
And where all the poor souls go
Looking to mend their hearts
Like it's everyone else's business
And at best they'll find the secrets that live within the walls
of the mansions of los feliz

Well he's gone out again and left you all alone
Come on over I'm always home
And where do the poor souls go
Looking to mend their hearts
Well I do mean to make it my business
And it's just me myself and the secrets that live within the walls
of the mansions of los feliz

"Mass"

"Mass"



It's really more than i can say
Looking at this tower
Angels are off duty and asleep
In these wee hours

And there's no place i can go
And this noise inside my head
It comes and goes
It comes and it goes

There's really nothing you can stop
So i guess i'm gonna try
Climbing up this tower
Walking up the stones
Stocking feet
To the clock

This is one place that i know
And the face in front of me
It comes and goes

Not some lucky charm
But something to hold onto
That could hold onto me

And there's no place i can go
And this noise inside my head
It comes and goes
It comes and it goes
