LYRICS

You sing so strange now I scream, Well leave me alone.

You don’t know what to say now I scream, Well leave me alone.

You don’t know what you do now I scream, Well leave me alone.

You don’t know what you do now.

Oh you little man. Oh doing all you can. You little man, you’ll find your way at the end of the day.

I know everyone has a dark little corner to go everyone has a dark little corner.

I know I know.

Oh you little man. Oh doing all you can. You little man, you’ll find your way at the end of the day.

STATIC MIND

Just because oh I’m not heavy doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me oh you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m sane.

Oh you’re making me rock back and forth inside my lonely boat.

Everyone will try to stop what they know they cannot control.

And it’s a ride on the other side and it’s a one way ticket to my other mind.

You’re so attractive attractive attractive when you fall.

And it’s your heart beating inside and it’s a one way ticket to my other mind.

I’m so attractive attractive attractive when I fall.

And I’m just reading.

Just because oh I’m not heavy doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me oh you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m sane.

Oh reasons not to leave multiply like rabbits with hard drinks.

Everyone will try to stomp as I drift on back into my sheets.

And it’s a ride on the other side and it’s a one way ticket to my other mind.

You’re so attractive attractive attractive when you fall.

And it’s your heart beating inside and it’s a one way ticket to my other mind.

I’m so attractive attractive attractive when I fall.

And I’m just reading.

Just because oh I’m not heavy doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me oh you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m oh, you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m oh, you’re gonna love me ‘cause I’m sane.

VINO

Are you awake? Are you awake?

And I say, I never did fall so far from the tree.

And you will save and you will save all of our souls, last conversation you had to have known.

I know the game you play but wait but wait but wait but wait.

And I will save and I will save all my words for someone who speaks my language so clear.

Were you awake? Were you awake?

When I said my story so clear, the dream you were in.

I know the game I play but wait but wait but wait but wait.

Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t over.

Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t.

Are you awake? Are you awake?

I would wait for the day when my momma would say that it would be ok.

Better luck for tomorrow.

And I know it’s ok ‘cause my momma did say that it would be ok.

Better luck for tomorrow.

And I will save and I will save all my words for someone who speaks my language so clear.

And I will wait and I will wait for your grace to shine in my eyes, the dream you were in.

I know the game we play but wait but wait but wait but wait.

Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t.

I know the game we play.

Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t.

I know the game we play.

Nothing can wait for the tide and feelings aren’t.

BABY BOY

All of these faces yet nothing’s the same Alice in her land your soul mate it’s sane.

You are not waiting you are not waiting you are not waiting for.

You are just savin’ the rich for the poor although you’re outdated you still have a score.

We are not savin’ we are not savin’ you are not savin’ for.

You say Oh baby boy you’ve grown up with your toys and now your face is red cause you’re blushing again. Now your face is red cause you’re blushing.

Oh I feel so alive for the first time. All of these faces yet nothing’s the same Alice in her land your soul mate it’s sane.

You are not waiting you are not waiting you are not waiting for.

You say Oh baby boy you’ve grown up with your toys and now your face is red cause you’re blushing again. Now your face is red cause you’re blushing.

I want to get close to you and make sure we’re falling.

Back down to the eyes are blue and make sure were falling, falling down.

All of these faces yet nothing’s the same Alice in her land your soul mate it’s sane.

You are not waiting you are not waiting you are not waiting for. Oh oh

Oh baby boy you’ve grown up with your toys. Oh oh

EL MONTE

I want to wash all of your clothes and make you feel warm when you’re cold.

And scratch you when you got an itch.

I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.

I do want to marry you.

I want to suck all of your toes and love you when you’re feeling low.

And fall down when you scream, Bang!

I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.

I do want to sing with you.

Scream it out, You’re the first in the game.

Fail to mention now, you’ve forgotten my name.

Stare down the barrel of your own gun ‘cause it’s yours.

I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.

I do want to marry you.

Am I just another figure to call upon when you’re bored?

Am I something else to ignore?

Am I just another score, you adore?

IN THE DAY

You’re alone. Everyone around you they’re just asking. Everyone around you they’re just asking.

Oh what did you expect?

In the day. I would smile clear without the crowd now. You would smile clear without the crowd now.

Oh what did you expect?

In the day oh in the day oh in the day oh in the day it’s just the same now.

Smash into my head.

I’m alone. Everyone around me they’re just grabbing. Everyone around me they’re just grabbing grabbing.

Oh what did you expect?

With the fame comes with all the stories you can’t claim comes with all the faces you will shed.

Oh what did you expect?

In the day oh in the day oh in the day oh in the day it’s just the same now.

Smash into my head.

In the day oh in the day oh in the day oh in the day it’s just the same now.

SLAUGHTER LANE

We like the man with the roamin’ hands and rushing fingers. And you know what I couldn’t quite stand is how you always make me mad.

I said, My baby my darling I didn’t want to hold you.

My baby my darling I didn’t want to hold you down so I let you roam all around town.

But here we go again we’re running a down that road.

Yeah, here we go again we’re running a down that road.

I said a tic toc away we walk tic toc away we walking down now towards that street now.

And when your man comes runnin’ through.

He’s gonna shiver down in you.

Oh when your man comes runnin’ through.

Yeah, here we go again we’re running a down that road.

Then I know how hard it is to stop a speeding train.

TRAIL

Worry, why you always worry?

You have so many problems that’s why we’re in a hurry.

I’m alright for now I’ll just never sleep again but in the day. But in the day.

In silence I live. In silence I.

Smile, smile although I know there are no perfect pictures only fruitless figures.

Your condescending stare at life scares chance away.

But who will try? And not pass by.

In silence I live. In silence I live.

You’ll be ok if say to me, So I’ll take all the push and the first mistakes I wrap my arms around those who try to escape.

You’ll be ok if you stay away.

Oh there is a distance I am traveling alone it seems while all are watching.

Please don’t grab me for I am carefully hiding my trail trail.

PLEASURE AND PAIN

Hear me on again you are not the one pretend it’s over. Over.

Everyone is on the run you are left there with the gun it’s over. Over.

Let it breathe.

You are the one don’t you see.

You tried so hard at fake and now you’re left to blame.

And all I know is what I’m told and it’s oh.

Everyone must have they’re fun and it’s oh.

Let it breathe.

You are the one don’t you see.

You tried so hard at fake and now you’re left to blame.

Oh you spin me around it’s tomorrow’s excuse when you’re begging for the pleasure and the pain.

Doctor doctor let me have my water.

Hear me on again oh.

I’m the one safe I am just the one safe.

Hear me on again oh.

Let it breathe.

You are the one don’t you see.

You tried so hard at fake and now you’re left to blame.

Oh you spin me around it’s tomorrow’s excuse when you’re begging for the pleasure and the pain.

JOANNIE IN THE CITY

She’s walking her way no fear of what to say her eyeliner’s thick.

Cast shadows night and day.

She’s always looking forward always looking forward.

Limelight calls out, Don’t stray.

What’s her name? What’s her name?

Everyone this is Joannie baby.

She’s running away to the city.

Just a spit shine your boots never succumb to suits. Her bashful attack.

While loving life’s new rhymes.

She’s always looking forward always looking forward.

Lights they stay in her mind.

What’s her name? What’s her name?

Everyone this is Joannie baby.

She’s running away to the city.

We’re walking her way fumbling just what to say just stand back and clap.

She’s crazy. We’re insane.

She’s always looking forward always looking forward.

Spotlight calls out, Don’t stray.

What’s her name? What’s her name?

Everyone this is Joannie baby.

She’s running away to the city.

PINK LEMONADE

You’re the one whose just spinnin’ round you never knew just what to do.

When everything came crashin’ down the rainy days felt not so blue.

Now you’re just insane. You’ll never be the same. Now you’re just insane. Hey

Pink lemonade on a sunny day is the routine killing you?

A cancer weighs on your fragile brain the only cure is something new.

Now you’re just insane. You’ll never be the same. Now you’re just insane. Hey

Now you’re just insane. You’ll never be the same.

No! No! No! I am insane never be the same.

Bow down to who claimed you and know know know know know know know your pain with pink lemondade. Pink lemonade.

EMPTY PROMISE

Well I went to my black hole still unknown.

I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.

Will you stay for me? I won’t beg oh please.

I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.
