1.Black Heart Inertia

Walking alone tonight
'Cause I've only got room for two
Me and my burdened black heart
It's all we know how to do

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see
Sick of all this inertia ow
Won't you mend me?

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A black heart pollutes me
And I think

You're a mountain
that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer,
but to share in the view

Pulled by a false inertia
Pushed out by circumstance
Pistol firing at my feet
That's coercing me to dance

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I'm sorry to know.
Here I am, first foot of the climb
Watch me go.

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A lit path eludes me
And I think

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
Send it away ...

You're a mountain
That I'd like to climb
Not to conquer,
but to share in the view
You're a bonfire
And I'm gathered 'round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
Set it aflame, send it away


2.Drive

Sometimes, I feel the fear of...
Uncertainty stinging clear.
And I can't help but ask myself
how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.

It's driven me before,
and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I,
should be the one behind the wheel.

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there.

So if I decide to waiver my
chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive?

It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that
when I drive myself my light is found.

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes, yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there.

Would you choose water over wine...
Hold the wheel and drive?

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes, yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there.


3.Megalomaniac

I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen
It's unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself baby
Step down
Step down
Step down

If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself baby
Step down
Step down
Step down


4.Anna Molly

A cloud hangs over this city by the sea.
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be
out there and sober as well from loneliness.
Please do persist, girl it's time we met and made a mess.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

A cloud hangs over my head and mutes my happiness.
A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress.
Wish you were here I'm a wounded satellite.
I need you here, put me back together, make me right.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes.
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

I'm calling your name up into the air.
Not one of the others could ever compare!
Anna-Molly, Anna-Molly.

Wait... there is a light...
there is a fire defragmenting the attic.
Fate? Or something better?
I couldn't care less, just stay with me for a while.

5.Love Hurts

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
I don't want to lose what I had as a boy
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
As common as a cold day in LA
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
Is it a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts'
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart And try me,
'cause without love I won't survive

I'm fettered and abused
I stand naked and accused
Should I surface this one man submarine?
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth
I'll never lose what I had as a boy
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
Is it a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts'
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me,
'Cause without love I won't survive

Love hurts'
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart And try me,
'cause without love I won't survive


6.Wish You Were Here

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind,
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy....(happy)

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were.......here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm Counting U.F.O's
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy.....happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were....here
wish you were here

The world's a roller coaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air, (sing)

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were....here
Wish you were here.....


7.Warning

Bat your eyes girl
We'll be otherworldly
Count your blessings
Seduce a stranger
What's so wrong with
Being happy
Kudos to those who
See through sickness yeah
Over and over and over and over and ooooo

She woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by

I suggest we
Learn to love ourselves before it's
Made illegal
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to
See it all knock down
Those left standing...will make millions
Writing books on the way it should have been

She woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by

Floating in this
Cosmic jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious

Soon the water
Starting to boil
No one flinches
We all flow face down

She woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
Pass you by


8.Stellar

Meet me in outerspace
We could spend the night, watch the earth come up
I've grown tired of that place, wont you come with me
We could start again
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew

Meet me in outerspace
I will hold you close, If your afraid of heights
I need you to see this place, It might be the only way
That I can show you how, it feels to be inside of you
How do you it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do

You are stellar
You are stellar
How do you it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, make me feel like I do, Yeah.


9.Talk Shows On Mute

Take a bow
Pack on powder
Wash 'em out with buzzing lights
Pay an audience to care
Impress me personality

Still and transfixed
The electric sheep,
Are dreaming of your face
Enjoy you from the chemical
Comfort of America

Come one
Come all
Into 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, camera, transaction

Quick, your time is almost up
Make all forget that they're the moth
Edging in, towards the flame
Burn into obscurity

Still and transfixed
the electric sheep
are dreaming up your fate
We judge you from
the card castle
comfort of America

Come one
Come all
Into 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, camera...

Come one
Come all
To 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, camera, transaction

Come one
Come all
To 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, camera, transaction

The foundation is canyoning
Fault lines should be worn with pride
I hate to say it
You're so much more
You're so much more
Endearing with the sound turned off.


10.Pardon Me

A decade ago,
I never thought I would be,
at twenty three,
on the verge of spontaneous combustion.
Woe-is-me.
But I guess that it comes with the territory;
an ominous landscape of never ending calamity.
I need you to hear,
I need you to see
that I have had all I can take and
exploding seems like a definite possibility to me.
So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and it's people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me....
I'll never be the same.

Not two days ago,
I was having a look in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees.
I said, 'I can relate,'
cause' lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcomed vacation from the burdens of the planet earth.
Like gravity, hypocrisy,
and the perils of being in 3-D...
and thinking so much differently.
So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and it's people's mindless games.
So pardon me
while I burn
and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me....
I'll never be the same.


11.Dig

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.

We all have something that digs at us
At least we dig each other.
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.

We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.

We all have someone that digs at us
At least we dig each other.
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh, each other
When everything else is gone

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh, each other
When everything else is gone.
Ohhh, each other
When everything else is gone.


12.Oil And Water

You and I are like oil and water
And we've been trying, trying, trying...
Ooooh to mix it up

We've been dancing on a volcano
And we've been crying, crying, crying
Over blackened souls

Babe, this wouldn't be the first time
It will not be the last time
There is no parasol that can shelter this weather

I've been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
But I've been dying, dying, dying
Oooh to let them go

Babe, this wouldn't be the first time
It will not be the last time
There is no parasol that could shelter this weather

Babe this wouldn't be the first time
It will not be the last time
We tried to believe everything would get better

We've been
Lying to each other
Hey babe
Let's just call it, call it, call it
Oooh what it is
Oil and water (wouldn't be the first time)
Oil and water (wouldn't be the first time)
Oil and water (wouldn't be the first time)


13.Are You In

It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
Youuuuuu ooooh
Are you in?
Youuuuuu ooooh
Are you in?

It's so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much easier
When sea foam green is in fashion
Yooouuuhhhh yooouuuooh
Are you in?
Yooouuuuh oooh oooh ooh
Are you in?

Are you ...


14.Nice To Know You

Better than watching Geller bending silver spoons
Better than witnessing newborn nebulas in bloom
She who sees from up high smiles and surely sings
Prospective pries her once weighty eyes and it gives you wings

I haven't felt the way, I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like a waking limb
Pins and needles, nice to know you
Good-bye, Nice to Know You

Deeper than the deepest Coustou would ever go
Higher than the heights of what we often think we know
Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees
To obtain a birds eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze

I haven't felt the way, I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like a waking limb
Pins and needles, nice to know you
Good-bye, Nice to Know You

Could it be that it had been there all along

I haven't felt the way, I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice
How much this feels like a waking limb
Pins and needles, nice to know you
Good-bye, Nice to Know You


15.Midnight Swim

A midnight swim
Is what I'm needing
A careless will
A fast for feeding

I take to the deep
Where the lights been til now
Gotta break out and find
What the day left behind

So into blue
Begin an ark
The man was you
True and spark oh

I take to the deep
Where the lights been til now, safe
Gotta break and out and find
What the day left behind

Water and salt
Secrets like new
Arrive salt
A midnight swim

I take to the deep
Where the lights, until now, asleep
Gotta break in and find
What the day left behind


16.Neither Of Us Can See

I am... One big...
Walking chemical reaction
A buzzing... Hive of...
Cell synapsis and nascent self-perception

Isn't it... Disdainful and curious...
That both of us...
Think we know... everything?

We both have brains, we both have eyes
We both have pains, we both have eyes
One in the same, two of a kind
Yet neither of us can see

I am... Just a...
Blinking neon roadside attraction
I sow... Future...
Wrinkles and I'm told I'm tapped potential

Isn't it... Disdainful and curious...
That both of us...
Think we know... Everything?

We both have brains, we both have eyes
We both have brains, we both have eyes
One in the same, two of a kind
Yet neither of us can see

I am... One big...
Fleeting errant contradiction
So good... To meet you...
We are one in the same

Isn't it... Disdainful and... curious...
That both of us...
Think we know... Everything?

We both have brains
We both have eyes
We both have pains
We both have eyes
One in the same
Two of a kind
Yet neither of us can see...


17.Look Alive

The hardest thing is rendering a
Moment moving too fast to endure
But you abide and smile wide cause
I want to remember this for sure

You can give me guns and politics and
I'll just make a mess of it, you know
Give me all the sustinance and
The wiser wider part of me will show

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses

A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
The wider angle's yours

Yeah every empty one of us have methods
To quell the madness of this pace
But yours have bled and are running south
Like jealous Dior mascara down your face

You could take that wait and all that fuss so
Now just get the best of us, you know
Give me love not suicide and
The wise wider part of me will show

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses

A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
The wider angle's yours!

Look alive, smile
Smile and look alive
Smile, smile and look alive

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses
A picture will survive
So smile and look alive

A picture says with sight
What we can't say with words
But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses

A picture will survive
So smile and look alive
The camera lens is opening
The wider angle's yours

Look alive
Smile, smile and look alive
Yeah, smile and look alive


18.While All The Vultures Feed

The Future is on Fire
of a dying breed.
Don't understate our relevance,
We're the eyes and the Walls
and we witness the Vultures feed.

Stay wide awake.
Stay wide awake.Yeah!
Make haste 'cause predators precede.
Stay wide awake.
Stay wide awake.Yeah!
While all the Vultures feed.

Like angles in a sphere,
of our own design.
No more perpetual innocence.
With words we make shapes,
and our angles can align.

And our appetite's careless and menacing.
It humbles me...
We breath softly ?as like the predator?
Such is a sight to see.

Stay wide awake.
Stay wide awake.Yeah!
Make haste 'cause predators precede.
Stay wide awake.
Stay wide awake.Yeah!
While all the Vultures feed.

Stay wide awake.
Stay wide awake.Yeah!
Make haste 'cause predators precede.
Stay wide awake.
Stay wide awake.Yeah!
While all the Vultures feed.


19.Pantomime

In my fantasy
Im a pantomime
I'll just move my hands
and everyone sees what I mean
Words are too messy
And it's way past time
To hand in my mouth
Paint my face white
and try to reinvent the sea
One wave at a time
Speak without my voice
And see the world by candle light

I ain't afraid to let it out
I'm not afraid to take that fall
But I've found beyond all doubt
You say more by saying nothing at all

In my fantasy
No such thing as time
Minutes bleed into days
of avant garde art show
Be your heresy
and I'll show you mine
We only speak in pantomimes
on this carpet ride

I ain't afraid to let it out
I'm not afraid to take that fall
But I've found beyond all doubt
You say more by saying nothing at all

In my fantasy
You look good entwined
In my hair and skin and spit
and sweat and spilled red wine
You're my deep secret
I'm your pantomime
I'll just move my hands
I promise You'll see what I mean


20.Anything

I met the day
Feeling cheaper than usual
I guess you could say that I'm on sale

So take what you can while you can
Shop now (????)
I could snap at any moment
And I might feel more expensive

I don't owe anything to you
I don't owe anything to you
You don't you know me half as well as you think you do
I don't owe anything, anything to you

I met the mirror
(????) and hanging from my ear
And in that moment I went unfazed

So take what you can while you can
(??????)
I could snap at any moment and remember
I was not born to be sold

I don't owe anything to you
I don't owe anything to you
You don't you know me half as well as you think you do
I don't owe anything, anything to you

I don't owe anything to you
I don't owe anything to you
You don't you know me half as well as you think you do
I don't owe anything, anything to you


21.Punch Drunk

Did I park my car?
If I found it I would drive so far from here
The city streets are dim
And my hands are tempted once again
To give in

I'm having trouble seeing
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige
I will survive
On this island i am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?

On the road my thumb is out
I'm hitchin home tonight I am without a name
Where was it that I lived?
Well nevermind just take me with you and forget

The lack of information
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige

I will survive
On this island i am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?

I will survive
Tonight I wander and I roam
Just lookin for a way back home tonight

The sun is coming up
I think I've had my fill
Wait, who the fuck are you?
Where did I park my car?
Please forgive my

Lack of information
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a miracle, ohhh

I'm having trouble seeing
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a mircale if you'd oblige

I will survive
On this island I am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?

I will survive
Tonight I wander and I roam
Just lookin for a way back home tonight

Spare me, a ride, a ride tonight
Spare me, a ride, a ride tonight


22.Admiration

Could you move in slow motion?
Everthing goes by so fast,
Just slow down a little,
Save the best part for last,

You speak in riddles,
Your intentions turn me old,
I'm yours forever,
Will you love me when I'm gone?

When I'm gone,
You're an undiscovered!
(When I'm gone,)
Over walls we've trampled!
(When I'm gone,)
It's you I admire!
(When I'm gone,)
My living example...

Your eyes are an undi-
scovered ocean far away,
Any minute now keeping,
Both poets and priests at bay,

Don't get ahead of me, could we,
Just this once see eye to eye?
Could you want perhaps me?
Ask me how it feels to vie?

To vie,
You're an undiscovered!
(To vie,)
Over walls we've trampled!
(To vie,)
It's you I admire!
(To vie,)
My living example...

It's a photograph discovered,
A decade after,
It's a cannon-blast disguised as a, firecracker,
It's enough to bring a brick wall,
To its knees, and sing,
Please, oooo...

Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast,
Just slow down a little,
Save the best part for last,

For last,
You're an undiscovered!
(For last,)
Over walls we've trampled!
(For last,)
It's you I admire!
(For last,)
My living example!
My living example,

It's you I admire!
My living example...


23.Martini

she was a new mean beauty queen
money, drugs, magazines
that didn't do nothin'
that didn't do nothin'
they gave her diamonds
shiny boys, city speak, every toy
that didn't do nothin'
no nothin' for her
you can
lead a horse to water
but you can't expect it to drink
now ain't that somethin'?
now ain't that somethin'?
yea when the world is
at you're gate that won't satiate
why are you crying
if you work for nothing at all?

don't be a fly in my martini baby
come on down
that roof is high and I'm not climbing
tonight, come down and I'll give you something,
hey! to cry about

.....


24.A Certain Shade Of Green (Acoustic)

A certain shade of green
Tell me is that what you need
All signs around say move ahead
Will someone please explain to me
Your ever present lack of speed

Are your muscles bound by ropes
Or do crutches cloud your day
My sources say the road is clear
And street signs point the way

Are you gunna stay around till 2012 A.D
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green
I think I grew a grey watching you procrastinate
What are you waiting for
A certain shade of green

Would a written invitation
Signed choose now or lose it all
Sedate your hesitation
Or inflame and make you stall
You've been raised in limitations
But that glove never fit quite right
The time has come for hand-me downs
Choose a new, please evolve
Take flight

Are you gunna stay around till 2012 A.D
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green
I think I grew a grey watching you procrastinate


25.Monuments And Melodies

My hands are trembling
and my eyes are on fire
this house is crumbling
left brain, left out on the wire

you make me happy
you magnify my better half
you make me certain
though all I have today is you photograph

my past is perilous
but each scar I bear sings
monuments to where I have been
and melodies to where I am going

you make me happy
you magnify my better half
you make me certain
though all i have today is you photograph

where will i see you again
still life can only go so far
need you in front of me
saying my name, saying to me
saying to me, say to me
i want you the way you are
you, the way you are

you make me happy
you magnify my better half
you make me certain
though all i have today is you photograph


26.Let's Go Crazy
