"Saturday Morning"

"Saturday Morning"



Saturday morning
And who's gonna play with me
Six in the morning baby
I got a long long day ahead of me

The parents are sleeping soundly
The neighbors are dead as wood
I'm getting up and coming over
We gotta rock the neighborhood

Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But i got something that i gotta do

It's saturday morning
And this ain't the place for me
I'm giving you warning baby
We got a whole big fat world to see

Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But i got something that i gotta do

It's saturday morning
And who's gonna play with me
Six in the morning baby
I got a long long day ahead of me

"Selective Memory"

"Selective Memory"



If i lay my head down
I will see you in my dream
Wearing that polka dot dress
And sitting by the stream
Leaning in to hear you
You will whisper in my ear
And everything i need to know
I finally hear

I wish i could remember
But my selective memory
Won't let me

When i was a baby
We would go out to the park
And sit out in the fountain
Splashing 'round until it's dark
The days go on forever
When you only know that much
And everything you need to know
Is answered with one touch

I wish i could remember
But my selective memory
Won't let me

"Series Of Misunderstandings"

"Series Of Misunderstandings"



Like a dying man who you tell
You will be alright that is the sell
When you know full well it isn't true
That's what's happened between me and you

I know how you don't want to see
That bored look on my face but you see
I don't think you know how to change it
Inching towards the end bit by bit

It's worth noting that it could be saved
If not for the recent events
A series of misunderstandings
Set the course for a crash landing

If I could do just one thing
Set the clock back many years ago
I'd teach that motherfucker that raised you
How to treat you right

"She Loves A Puppet"

"She Loves A Puppet"



Don't know why
She thinks she loves him
Don't go cry
He's just a toy

She calls it only love
Her love it is not pure

She loves a puppet
She loves a puppet
And all that i can do is cry

Got no soul
Only a haircut
He's no man
Barely a boy

Why can't she understand
That i am her true love

She loves a puppet
She loves a puppet

He's made of flesh and blood
His footsteps make a heavy thud
His porch light's on
But no one's home

I'd love to make her mine
But i have to wonder why

She loves a puppet
She loves a puppet
And all that i can do is cry

"Shine It All On"

"Shine It All On"



Tarot cards
Said i'm already dead
Crystal ball
Fell down onto my head
Tenderness
If i want it i pay
My true love
Well she threw it away

But i can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
And still be amazed

Had some money
And a hole in my pocket
Had a house
But i forgot to lock it
Took a drag
From a smoke that may kill me
What a drag
How the winter wind chills me

I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
And still be amazed

I'll shine it on just like macbeth
In the face of certain death
Of a salesman or a king
And when the palm trees are on fire
I'll take my boat out on the sea

Had a face
But i never could save it
Had a kid
But i never would name it
Have a life
Well that's what they call it
It's a road
But I guess i could crawl it

"Skywriting"

"Skywriting"



Don't cry
All the songs you sing
All the flowers you bring
I'm part of everything there ever was
And will be

Go on
You've got places to be
So many things to see
Don't worry 'bout me
I'm already where i should be

Look up
A plane writes in the sky
For every passerby
No one ever dies
They just write things in the sky

If you
Wanna think about me
Look out above the sea
And you can see that I am doing
Just fine

"Some Friend"

"Some Friend"



Loyalty is easy when you're king
Doesn't matter who's around to bring

Some friend you turned out to be
Looking cool but anyone can see
That you don't know where you're going to
But I have some idea

Kowtow to everybody's whims
That's what'll finally do you in

Some friend you turned out to be
Looking cool but anyone can see
That you don't know where you're going to
But I have some idea

Sorry but I've got a train to catch
Gonna leave you and your schemes to hatch

Some friend you turned out to be
Looking cool but anyone can see
That you don't know where you're going to
But I have some idea

"Somebody Loves You"

"Somebody Loves You"



Woke up with a bang
And a bug on your face
It crawled in your mouth
And gave you a taste of
The good life you left behind
But i think you're gonna be fine

Somebody loves you
And you're gonna make it through

This nagging malaise
Is more than a phase
It feels like a job
But no boss ever pays you to lay there
And think how you'll die
While the tears start to well in your eyes

Somebody loves you
And you're gonna make it through

One more saturday
All alone through the night
You've got to be sure
When you turn out that light
That it's going to turn on again
You've got to be your good friend

Somebody loves you
And you're gonna make it through

"Someone To Break The Spell"

"Someone To Break The Spell"



You up there
Don't you think there's something you can do
Well no one ever told me it was gonna be this way
Me down here
Well look at all the things i try to do
Every day's another day
But nothing else is new

Everything i see is broken
There's no water in the well
Oh won't you please send me
Someone to break the spell

Well is it me
Or is it everyone that comes around
They always stay a little while
But they're gone before too long
Hey you up there
Looking down upon this sorry scene
Is it what it's all about
Or is this some bad dream

Everything i see is broken
There's no water in the well
Oh won't you please send me
Someone to break the spell

I've got a million dreams stuck in my head
If i could live a few before i'm dead

"Something Is Sacred"

"Something Is Sacred"



Taking a walk down to the mall
Smelling piss and beer and gas
That could be me in a couple years
Suckin' fumes under the highway pass

On a rainy day
While i wear newspaper for pants
And a t-shirt that says
"damn i'm good"

People look funny when they cry
'cause they just can't let it hide
Typing into your little box
Press the cry button
It unlocks

On a rainy day
No one has a thing to say
Easier to look the other way

Take a look in the killer's eyes
And you see there's nothing there
But something is sacred in your eyes
And something to believe

On a rainy day
And as the world will blow to bits
I'll cradle you and hold you tight
