7 Year Itch

when yhe good times are over
you might understand
get the world off your shoulder
and the knife in your back
two tongues dry as the dessert
one heart light as a feather
Im still walking home
6 years down ones a cinch
Its just the 7 year itch
got the greatest disorder
ever known unto man
going south of no northern
Gotta fee like a man
two tongues dry as the dessert
one heart caves to the pressure
be still
6 years down ones a cinch
its just the 7 years itch.

coming back
and they know that we dont love each other
but a roof keeps you dry in the rain
and the drive is too far so i sleep in the car
when i wake nothings changed
and we aint coming back

and i look to the sky for a brother
when i think i have made a mistake
change the locks on hte door run the mile til you're sore
everything but your name
and we aint coming back

the sentimanetal blood is pumpin
and the roots are tentacles that never end
pull the heartstrings to the batteries are jumpin
pull em in and in again
no we aint coming back

 

I want you to love me 3/19/07

over here i want you to know
I left my 52 cards on your table
have no fear and dont call the law
i got to see what you have in the veil
call it weird but some call it love
im like a cigarette burn in your carpet

in the mirrow i shine like a dove
and im feeling so damn good i cant stop it

i got no place to go but home
i want you to love me
throwing all my rocks at your window
i want you to love me

to the stars and higher you go
floating up and away you are so sure
leave me here to stare as you go
and you fly fly away little vutlture
when i swim i sink like a stone
and your car pulls away like a moment
plant it here but it doesnt grow
but it makes little cracks in the cement

i got no place to go but home
i want you to love me
throwing all my rocks at your window
i want you to love me


 

LAST GIRL, 2/20/07

You are a lonely moon
a distant atmosphere
all things surrounding you
a lovely alibi
i need to live a lie
you leave me hot and dry

and i feel good tonight

beneath the plexiglass there stand my naked ass
all feelings come to pass
one heart im gonna miss
reward me with your kiss
behind the sun eclipse

and i feel good tonight

and you're the last girl on earth
yah your the last and the first

(lame organ solo)

you are a lonely moon
a distant atmosphere
I wanna shelter you
beneath the loney blue
a diamond oh so clear
you cut my heart in two

and i feel good tonight

and you're the last girl on earth

ANOTHER MOON 02/02/07

theres another moon in the sky
it shines on your roof but it passes you by
you stop looking up cause you dont want to cry
theres another moon

there are certain things you dont say
they fall from your mouth when you're looking away
you stop speaking up when you hear the delay
there are certain things

theres another heart deep inside
it beats on your ribs and it busts up your mind
you stop feeling strong when you start feeling fine
theres another heart

theres another moon in the sky
it shines on your roof but it passes you by
you stop looking up cause you dont want to cry
theres another moon


New Medication 12/20/06

when joe got home he waved to all the neighbors on his street
he slams the door and looks around for something he can beat
the stack of envelopes is getting higher i got to get my feet out of the fire
the devil lays more orders on the borders im going up the river without oarers
im changing all the locks i pulling out the stops lets walk him til he talks and shop em til the drop
and im gonna miss all you good neighbors
im gonna need new medication
the devil puts more orders on the borders im gonna miss your little shop of horros
im gonna need new medication

 

I'm ready 12/03/06

im through advertising the thoughts in my head
and im ready for what lies ahead
theres no alchemizing the gold isnt lead
and im ready for what lies ahead
when nobody really likes you
theres no prophetizing confetti in bed
and im ready for what lies ahead
when nobody really likes you
you could believe its all true

im through advertising the thoughts in my head
and im ready for what lies ahead

when nobody really likes you
you could believe its all true


Right Behind You
, 9/30/06

you're like a baby safe in the stroller
but so afraid to turn out the light
all hands on deck you want to jump over
a hundred miles in
you got to run the mile like a loner
and break your heart one beat ata time
you pull anight shift and you go solar
a floating island

and we are right behind you

caveman painting in the wet sand
sitting on an ace hand waitiing on a train

and we are right behind you

and you are a long long way from home
when you get the money you'll be gone
no one there to tell you right from wrong
blowing sparks into the flight path

spaceman miles above the good land
bombing with your right hand

and we are right behind you
oh we are right behind

 

WORTH ANALYZING 9/5/06
and it should have meant a lot little gifts id give
reolling round the parking lot growing rashes on my skin
it aint worth analyzing dont you pay it any thought

aint a pill you havent popped let the love begin
finding new hats for your god you cant make the old hat fit
it aint worth analyzing dont you pay it any thought
i have waisted my life trying and i get what i got

burning candles on your lawn when the sun has set
dinner time has come and gone but i havent eaten yet
it aint worth analyzing dont you pay it any thought
i have waisted my life trying and i get what i got

TRUSTED FIEND 8/29/06

Im afraid that i might fall off

thin veneer heavy coat

oh black widow close your eyes

belly up belly flop
take a dive from the bee hive and watch me drop
souvenir momento insincere jaques coustau

black widow...

Im so afraid that i might fall off jump on the table for your stuff
oh black widow close your eyes i still think were in danger
and im afraid that im a fiend

we are swimming in the flames
and the waves are red as blood
and the taste sweet as lemonade

LALALALALALALA

or they'll beat you like an ape
and you got a plan and you get er done
but it never tastes sweet as lemonade

mining intravenous

rain on parades
my lips are crackin like jesus saves
Lets start unpackin

in a lake baby of the sun
we are swimming in the flames
and the waves are red as blood
and we're swim in red lemonade



PULL IT TIGHT 7-20-06

I dont care how bad you treat me
tell myself that its alright
when the hook as cut me deeply
you pull it tight

jump the ship and drown tonight
spittin out the one love potion
pull it tight the anchor sways beneath the hull
cut the line beneath the waves not long enough

the hook has cut me deeply


THE OTHER WORLD

t 6/21/60
i feel so good about myself in another world

I know this aint the end but i am going

THE WALLS OF DENVER
6/1/06

the walls of denver are slowly caving in
long drive december with just a month to live
i didnt go there for the traffic or the scenery
i didnt go there with chains around my feet

but mother lies in the bed tubes are tied

i wanna know whos operating this machinery

long arms can hold you clouds full of butterflies
the black horizon is sailing in the sky
nobody knows whos operating
the doctor puts you under
the family sits in the room waiting
but no one knows

and mother lies in the bed tubes are tied

snowboardng motherfuckers i wanna throw a hand grenade in your ski pants
i wanna take all the snow off your moutntain and stcik it in your basement so it will melt and create a swamp where alligators will suck your childen down liketangerine clowns

THE walla fo denver we gotta bring em down everybody

im handing out the sledgehammers now you can stand up and take a shot at this little brick wall here i got a hole started we just need the manpower you can use a high heeled sneaker


NO SHAME 5/19/06

when they aint nailin somebodies cross they are wiring your chair
but who cares no one you know

we are headed for trouble soon when they get the sky they're gonna want the moon

and i got the time to watch gonna drop my dime

and we give em the mouthwash

CHORUS
give em the mouthwash for the double talk

I am waiting i can count the days were gonna hang em high and let the children gaze
but who knows how far ill go cause theres no shame

but i would love to see them go
race against time on the hero show
and ive got the time to watch
hope it works this time

IS IT SAFE 5/11/06 (this is a vocal re-do all the way from feb 06 recording)

youre alone out of place
so afraid to look out of your window
animal wants to play
so you crawl on the foam where the dust grows
they dont exaggertae when they say this is safe

you look bored
and amazed
is this all that you bought in the swindle
they dont exaggertate

WHEN WE ASK YOU IS IT SAFE SAY ITS SAFE
YOULL NEVER GET ANOTHER TASTE

you want move on
but theres no off
you wanna be lost
so go get lost
you wanted a line
nobody would cross

CHORUS

 

I think you still love me too 5/9/06

I aint lookin through a lense of plastic
I aint looking through a crystal ball
and if your life is ending up fantastic
I aint never gonna get to know
and i know im just a big fanatic
and i know ive got a bitter soul
and i know it sounds a bit romantic

But i think you still love me too
x2

deeper than the city atlantis
hotter than the fire in the coal
bending from the knee a praying mantis
handing you the coat you're geting cold
and i know im so antagonistic
but i tihnk i never let you go
and i gotta flare for the dramatic

CHORUS

farther than the lonely distant planet
farther than the miles i gotta to go
pulling me like metal to the magnet
pulling me down with an undertow
and i knew i blew my one chance at it
and i know ill never tell you so
and i know its just a force of habit

CHORUS X 3

I AM YOUR AMBULANCE 3/21-06

There is poison in the smog but that is the air that i breathe
and how i try to get along but i cant follow
and when somebody does me wrong there is athing that i need
but i can never get a hit with my back to the wind

i can imitate a song or i can swallow
and when nobody does me wrong there is a thing that i need
bt i can never get a hit with my back to the wind

what i need is your ambulance this is self defense

gonna go off like a roman candle on the street yah
gonna tie off like smiling junkie on the beat
gonna bite off like a mountain something i can eat
gonna hollar like a dollar stickin to your feet

sometimes they hide it in the law i never thought this is me
and now i try to get along but i cant follow
you wither fight it or belong to the one thing that you need
you can never get a hit with your back to the wind

what i need is your ambulance this is self defense
what i need is your ambulance this is self defense

i would love to meet your demands but I cant stop
my demands

they are happy when they eat right
I would feed them angry flowers but

and the roof may on our heads
did the aggravator meet his demands

I would love to meet your friends

but I cant stop laughing

CRACKS 2-27-06

DEEP DRAG 2/13/06

Why I always came in very late
these hands of mine never found the time to shave
I live above the jet stream
I get a cut to stay clean
you are a deep drag a plague upon my house
talk like an old hag it's time to let her out
we encapsulate like a mormom
under sonic waves in a storm
we encapsulate like a mormon
under sonic waves

oh my oh what sharpened teeth you have
on flowered beds counting all your last regrets

I live above the jet stream
I get a cut to stay clean
we encapsulate like a mormom
under sonic waves in a storm

You are a deep drag

THE GREEN LIGHT

when the green light shines you keep on moving
there are stars in the sky that dont need a friend

as we stab for the lastline you're a brother and the green light shines
