"Take Her Down"

"Take Her Down"


Water falls to hold me up
Center of the sea
Someway that you'll never be

I wanna change but I don't know how
How can you let him touch you now?

Darkness folds to draw me out
Bottom of the sky
Drowning eyes they turn to die

Collector knows, forever lie
Acid in your throat, don't cry

Fire on the ocean go
Sun is sinking far below
Glowing cold but always gone
Numb and flashing off and on
Dying in your heart
Dying in your heart
Dying in your heart

Grab a hold and don't say when
Shattered on the floor
Trying not to lose it all

Your eyes like an iron wall
Waiting for the axe to fall

Fire on the ocean go
Sun is sinking far below
Glowing cold but always gone
Numb and flashing off and on
Dying in your heart
Dying in your heart
Dying in your heart

"Tenderfoot"

"Tenderfoot"


This is the place where I save face
This is the spot where I jump off
This is the part where I lose heart

Over the pain and I’m past the bleeding
It’s not the tracks, it’s where they’re leading

This is my best king carnivore
This is my scream, it’s just a dull roar
These are my hands I’ve shown you before

Over the pain and I’m past the bleeding
It’s not the tracks, it’s where they’re leading

Hasn’t been so bad, yet I’ll do it again
Error of my ways, maybe one of these days

It’s irrelevant
I’m an elephant
She’s a mouse

It’s irrelevant
I’m an elephant
She’s a mouse

"The Great Big No"

"The Great Big No"


Lover don't turn your head.
Just let me walk away.
I thought I might have to say,
You're asking the wrong guy.
She wonders how.
Thinks she knows now.
She'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. great big no.
Great big no. great big no.
Is nothing okay with you.
Is nothing okay with me.
Is anything happening to have to go to sea.
He wonders why. the indigo guy,
He'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. great big no.
Great big no. great big no.
Everyone knows everything
Everyone knows everything
Nobody, nobody has got no one to go to.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Whoah (lover don't turn your head.)
Lover don't turn your head.
No. (lover don't turn your head.)
Is nothing okay with you?

"The Green Fuz"

"The Green Fuz"


In we come, we're coming fast
All of the others are in the past
Jump to your feet
Let us get you high with a green fuz
Not too fast and not too slow
Come along baby lets see where we go
Jump to your feet
Let us get you high with a green fuz
Coming fast, I'll tell you why
Jump to your feet
Let's get your eye
Here we come baby and you'd better run
With a green fuz
Coming fast, I'll tell you why
Jump to your feet
Let us get your eye
Here we come baby and you'd better run
With a green fuz
Here we come baby and you'd better run
With a green fuz
Here we come baby and you'd better run
With a green fuz

"The Outdoor Type"

"The Outdoor Type"


Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
I never, set foot inside a tent
Couldn’t build a fire to save my life
I lied about being, the outdoor type
I’ve never slept out underneath the stars
Closest that I came to that was one time my car,
Broke down for an hour
In the suburbs, at night
I lied about being, the outdoor type
Too scared to let you know
I knew what you were looking for
Lied until I’d fit the bill
God bless the great indoors
I lied about being, the outdoor type
I’ve never owned a sleeping bag, let alone a mountain bike
I can’t go away with you on a rocking climbing weekend
What if something’s on TV and it’s never shown again
Just as well I’m not invited
I’m afraid of heights
I lied about being, the outdoor type
Never learned to swim
Can’t grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being, the outdoor type

"The Turnpike Down"

"The Turnpike Down"


I’m lost in the see-through
Pane always needs a bath
Between a want and a need to

Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path

My country was of three
So why d’ya have to leave?
How’d this come have to pass

Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path

Mark my path, mark my path down
Mark my path, mark my path down
Mark my path, mark my path down
Mark my path, mark my path down

"Two Weeks In Another Town"

"Two Weeks In Another Town"


All the houses look the same to me
Dogs bark in the driveways
There's the garden I've seen before
Bright porch, dark doorway

Two weeks in another town
Wake me up when it's over, again
Night turns into morning
A walk in the spring rain

Climbing up to the attic
Smell the dust and the sunshine, again
You just said a mouthful
You can't take it with you, you know

"Uhhh"

"Uhhh"


I know a girl, and she's
all that I love in the world
and I don't even know
what she's thinking now

If I could be with
her tonight
I know the arguing
and the spite

We'd shout together and fight
about whatever was wrong
or what's right, it seems
that doesn't matter, but

If we could slow down
and listen hard
Stupid arguing
disregard

Love is heat with a light
love's a sound you can't hear
When we're far far apart,
when we're too near

If I could show you
the picture in my heart
If I could stop the words
before they start....

"Waiting Around To Die"

"Waiting Around To Die"


Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is takin' me
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
I guess I keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
Well, it's easier than just waitin' 'round to die
One time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
She told him to take care of me and headed down to Tennessee
It's easier than just waitin' 'round to die
I came of age and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
But the posse caught up with me and drug me back to Muskogee
It's two long years of waitin' 'round to die
Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name is codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die
Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die

"Year Of The Cat"

"Year Of The Cat"


Everything is clicking, things are locking into place
It’s like clockwork and I’m stood sitting again, staring at your eyes, your eyes
I put my eye out come to see things half as well
I suppose it’s time to try and put my ear against a shell myself I’m not simple

You’re so sweet it tickles
Yeah

It’s all so clinical, clinical, so clinical, clinical

Peeling paint to understand why it’s falling off
Grab my hand and kiss it baby, try and call a stop
I put my eye out come to see things half as well
My clothes are finally dry and I place them on myself, myself I’m not sinful

You’re so sweet it tickles
Yeah

It’s all so clinical, it’s clinical, it’s all so clinical, clinical

All these things in my way
There are things in my way
All these things in my way
Things in my way
