"Dandelion Seeds"

"Dandelion Seeds"


Floating on the air
Never seemed to care
Worries have they none
See them drift upon the breeze
Dandelion seeds

Blow them and they're gone
Fly up to the sun
Come be with me
Where the air is always clean
Dandelion seeds

I tell the time for you
Twelve o'clock or noon,
It's still true
I know it's true

Up above the trees
Looking down on leaves
Birds fly by my side
People look up hopelessly
At dandelion seeds

"Dawn Can't Decide"

"Dawn Can't Decide"


Dawn can’t decide if there should be more of this porch
She’s sick of being inside, he reads the signs
And now they’re making out in Lancaster, just to pass the time

Curtis C called, left a message in Japanese
Dawn returned the call, reviewed the newest Taang release
Joe shoulda known that the Long Island Lolita would be the cause

Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning

And you strike, strike the right chord
The right chord in me, strike the right chord

Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
No paperwork

Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah

Dawn can’t decide
Dawn can’t decide

"December"

"December"


I'm not keepin' up your side of the bargain
As we all know, a woman's will can harden
You try and soften up the blow
Still I hate to see you go
I beg your pardon
A swimming pool that used to be a garden

Get it started
Bake someone a cake and fold my heart in
Drive around the lake and roll my car in
Roll my car in

Is it time to pull my chestnuts from the fire?
Oh my my
Should I diversify or keep my powder dry
It's early in the day
Still it's late enough to say you were a liar
And the truth becomes more clear as I get higher

Find a buyer
Claim yourself exempt and wear a wire
Sleep around until you're good and tired
Good and tired

Watch it bubble out of sight
Tell me psycho where's the knife
Set your watch to ruin my life
Yeah, tell yourself you're not my type

You're not keepin' up my side of the bargain
As we all know, a woman's will can harden
Try and soften up the blow
Still I hate to see you go
I beg your pardon

"Die Right Now"

"Die Right Now"


And it's so good to hear him whispering his wishes inside you.
Play along, there is no wrong,
you've got to let him guide you.
You're the first sweet little girl to have this love of mine.
Forever with me till the end of time.
Time!
Wake up baby to the fact that you're poor soul's unclever.
Change your mind give me your life,
and you can live forever.
Play along, there is no wrong,
you've got to let him guide you.
It's so good to feel him whispering his wishes inside you.
Inside you!
I got to protect it,
I got to keep it in my soul.
I got to protect it,
I must believe it,
it's my code.
I got to protect it,
I got to keep it in my soul.
I got to protect it,
I must believe it, it's my code.
[spoken:]
And then I went to the end of it, and the old man, well, he's ready to die.
And he said, "Well, Tom, sincerity's the best gimmick. Remember that."
And I say, "All right, be sincere, that'll win it?" He said, "That's it.
Sincerity and honesty," he said, "will do it. It'll trick 'em every time."
I said, "Well, sincerity and honesty; I never tried that."

"Different Drum"

"Different Drum"


You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh, can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me

You cry, and moan, and say it'll work out
But honey child, I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'd knock it
It's just that I, I'm not in the market
For a girl who wants to love only me

And I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying's I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So, goodbye, I don't believe
And I see no sense
In this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

"Dirty Robot"
(feat. Kate Moss)



You're a dirty robot, you're a dirty robot

No, I don't care for your metal looks
I don't care for your bleeps and bloops
Go away, why don't you just shut up?

Your crazy smile, digital dial
I hate your every bolt and screw
I don't like anything about you

You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot

Yes, everyday I've been thinking 'bout you
In my dreams, we've been making out
Isn't that what human life's about? No

My circuitry comes off the scale
Baby, got the hots for you
My index sent a shock right through
My body needs you, my body needs you

You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot

You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
You're a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
You're a dirty robot, you're a dirty robot

I'm a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
I'm a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
I'm a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
I'm a dirty robot, I'm a dirty robot
I'm a dirty robot

"Don't Tell Yourself"

"Don't Tell Yourself"


Don't tell yourself it's okay.
Don't tell yourself it's not true.
I don't want you to hurt me,
but I want to hurt you.
Why would I wanna hurt you,
when you make me cry so?
Why would I wanna do that?
It makes you want to die so.
Oh. Oh.

Don't tell yourself it's okay.
Don't tell yourself it's so fine.
Why not what a fine day,
I'm so glad that you're mine.
Why don't you try more?
You're ringing in my ears.
I'm going to try more.
Try to buy back my tears.

Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."

Oh. Oh.

Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."
Stop telling me, "It's okay."

"Don't Wanna"

"Don't Wanna"


All my friends have gone away
Gone away for a long stay
I love you or so I say
Today, today

Yesterday I felt no shame
Now my state is plainly tame
Day to day, today today
I said hey, hooray

I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel ev'rything
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel everything

Yesterday I felt no shame
Now my state is plainly tame
Day to day, today today
I said hey, hooray

All my friends have gone away
Gone away for a long stay
I love you or so I say
Today, today... hey

I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel everything
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel everything

I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna feel everything
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna.

"Down About It"

"Down About It"


Gotta own up on my own somehow
Toss the beginning and try to live it down
'n work my way out
I been so down about it
It gets the same every time I shy
Away from the blame and I stand my time
You can understand why
I been so down about it
She's gonna give me all the time I need
to finish it
and if I can't I'll sleep
over
And out like a light when it's not plugged in
fading around if it starts again
you just don't get it when
I get so down about it
I drop you a hint so I hope you don't catch
You fumble your keys and I throw the latch
You'll still worried that
I been so down about it
Out of it so I'd hope she'd be there
Talk to her as I climb the stairs
I told her
gotta own up on my own somehow
gotta own up on my own somehow
gotta own up on my own somehow

"Ever"

"Ever"


We hit the highway in the shimmer glare of summer
And past the window all the trees moved by behind her
She tuned the radio ‘til music was around us
A rushing calm around our heart I knew had found us

It feels so good to me
I have to make you see

Why does this ever have to end?
I know commitment is not the trend
Don’t misunderstand what I intend
When I say this doesn’t have to end

We washed the dishes knowing everything was alright
And then together in the curtain drifting twilight
I know your laughter shouldn’t make me feel so scared
How could I doubt you? I know how much you cared

I hear it when you sigh
But I still don’t know why

Why does this ever have to end?
Why can’t I give you my heart and hand?
I think you’re too scared to understand
This doesn’t ever have to end

I see you standing by a window in the hall
Our eyes collide without a single word at all
The record asks: will you still need me when I’m 64?
I can’t imagine that I wouldn’t need you more

Too many tears to cry
I just won’t let it die

This doesn’t ever have to end
Life is so long and my heart won’t mend
You are my lover, you’re my best friend
This doesn’t ever have to end.
