I’ve always loved you from afar But I don’t know which one you are
Pleased to meet you how do you do
Can I bum a smoke from you
The fresh air’s getting to my head
Will you dance for me ‘neath the Christmas tree
I think I’ve seen you dance before
Will you sing a song before I move along
Cause I can’t stay here anymore
I’ve been distracted, doesn’t mean you mean more
Is it a sin to think about the way you kissed me
And if you ever want to know my name
I will tell you a few more lies
I got some good ones they’re not all the same
And later you will learn the truth, but you won’t act surprised
I’ll visit your grave any day now, I’ll visit your grave any day now
Because you left here two years ago
Two years ago you did what you had to do
And you, I don’t know where they put you
Would I ever recognize you
You always looked so tough
You always looked so tough
You always looked so tough
You always looked so tough
You always looked so sad
I’ve always loved you from afar But I don’t know which one you are
My lover where are you, I
I hear you calling me, I
Told you not to use the phone
And so instead I hear you screaming, I hear you screaming in my head
You’re telling me to stop the crying, cause I’m not really that alone
Well you’re right, I’m not really that alone
And if you ever want to know my name
I will tell you a few more lies
I got some good ones they’re not all the same
And later you will learn the truth, but you won’t act surprised

Huckleberry makes me laugh and she makes Mary Magdalene laugh too
Huckleberry thinks it’s fine that I like Mary Magdalene the way I do
And I do
And she tells me it will be ok, ‘cause we’ll all be together anyway in the end
And Huckleberry wears big shoes, she dances ‘round for Mary and for me
She says “Shoes are fine, but I would rather take mine off
And feel the grass beneath my feet
And me and Mary both agree
It’s the meantime that I think about Am I crazy, or do you understand, Mary?
That when I say I almost love you, all I’m saying is I might love you somewhat differently
And I do
And she tells us it will be ok, ‘cause we’ll all be together anyway in the end
And I believe you Huckleberry

Holdin’ my baby in my arms watching her feeding off me
And sometimes I get happy looking down at her
And sometimes I just want to put her in a basket and leave her
At your doorstep, yeah
I wonder why some people go away so soon before their time
Are they just feeling sorry for themselves
Or do they hear somebody who is crying for them somewhere else
I killed a man today, but I did not think about it
I left him there to die by the gutter on the roadside
Well, he raped a girl last year, but he did not think about it
He left her there to die in the gutter on the roadside
And they tell me killing’s not the answer
And they tell me we got a reason to live
I don’t know anyone like you
I don’t know why I’m not like you
Standing between the day and night watching them pointing at me
Sometimes I get happy being all alone
And sometimes I just want to put you in my pocket and take you everywhere I go
What if you murdered me tonight, what if I fell out of the sky
What if I wait around for more I can’t see anything that’s right
What if you murdered me tonight, what if I fell out of the sky
What if I wait around for more I can’t see anything
And sometimes I don’t want to be a part of this
Like someone who I once knew, and you know who you are
I don’t know anyone like you
I don’t know why I’m not like you
And you know who you are
And you know who you are
I know who you are

Waco

Uncle Dave said “I’m the one who’s gonna take you home
Today you may be twelve, but tonight you’ll be a woman”
He said “Jesus is our savior and he wants me to save you.
He wants you to have children and he wants them to have arms”
But that’s not what I really think about you, Waco.
You see lately when I tilt my head and I smell what I think you smell like
I’m not poet I’m no one
Sometimes I think I can do things without you knowing
I think I care too much I think I care too little
I don’t know why I care at all
And I don’t have any metaphors for you
And maybe you can understand because you’re straight up like that
Because you’re Waco
And when I see you again, I don’t know what I’ll do
I never do
I’m not poet I’m no one, no one to you
Please don’t forget that I’m no one to you
I never was
I’m no one No one to you

Gunshots and Love Notes
02:27

She was down with flying saucers in her head
They told her things that made her cry
She was down with flying saucers in her head
They told her she would surely die
They said “Go home to your mother ‘cause I’ve been milked dry
I don’t need another mouth to feed and I don’t need another
suicide”
Four days and four nights bullied her into
the Bigfoot in the tunnel
She used to hide her eyes, she remembers
Gunshots and love notes a hole in her pocket
Go home to your mother ‘cause I’ve been milked dry.
I don’t need another mouth to feed and I don’t need another
suicide
She woke up one day
Said “None of it’s true.
In my world somethings just are not allowed.
But love notes are good!”
So she kissed a silver girl and felt better, yeah
Spitting out hair and swallowing spiders
Go home to your mother ‘cause I’ve been milked dry.
I don’t need another mouth to feed and I don’t need another
suicide
So she kissed a silver girl and felt better, yeah
Spitting out hair and swallowing spiders
that wiggled and jiggled and jiggled inside her
Spitting out hair and swallowing spiders
that wiggled and jiggled and jiggled inside her
she kissed a silver girl and felt better, yeah

I

You said some other time, said you would think about it later
You took a little bit of me said you would give a little later
Can’t you see we could have been so wrong for each other
You hold onto me and I don’t belong to you
I’m only trying to divert my attention for a while
I’m only trying to take you away from it all
You want something tonight
You don’t care about anything else but you and your appetite
And I don’t care
It’s all about wanting, It’s all about I
You got what you wanted and I got a little of you and your appetite
You left me in the middle of nowhere I thought you’d be a little more careful
But I don’t guess that I play fair
Cause I love to push you over You love to leave me hanging
We each have our own strategy
And I don’t care
Cause nothing’s different and nothing’s changing anyway
Can’t you see we could have been so wrong for each other
I hold onto you and you don’t belong to me
I’m only trying to make you want me for a while
I’m only trying to remind you of one little thing
I’m still waiting
And I will say it ‘til I don’t mean it
And I will say it ‘til I don’t care
Please let it be today
Please let it be today
Please let it be today

Feeling 7

I’m feelin’ dull I’m feelin’ 7
But my chariot is waiting right outside
I’m feelin’ dull I’m feelin’ 7
But my chariot is waiting right outside
And if I drink a cup of fear
It won’t be any different than any other cup I might’ve tried
I’m feelin’ dull I’m feelin’ 7
But my chariot is waiting right outside
And when I’m looking for the light switch
And I feel across the wall
I know that someone’s there
But I’m still afraid to call
Your name, oh well
It’s just the same as any other cup I might’ve tried
I didn’t know that it was me who walks along the ocean bottom
Looking out for broken shards of glass
Nobody said I’d need protection, but it seems this time I do
And I don’t mean to lay this all on you
I’m feelin’ dull I’m feelin’ 7
But my chariot is waiting right outside
And when I’m looking for the light switch
And I feel across the wall
I know that someone’s there
But I’m still afraid to call
Your name, oh well
It’s just the same as any other cup I might’ve tried
I’m feelin’ dull, I’m feelin upside down
Cause my chariot just took me for a ride
Yes my chariot just tooke me for a ride

Song For Bridgid
03:19

Walkin around tryin' to live your life
like everything's normal and everything's right
and it doesn't matter if it's dark or light
and everything doesn't get quiet at night
Afraid to remember, afraid to forget
You think there's a wrong way or right way to feel it
You'd leave your heart open but you think you might spill it
Cousin I've been there before
It's hard to imagine there's anything else or anything more
Do I do this for you, do I do it for me
I suppose you're a mirror and I guess I will see
all that lies underneath
all the lies I believe
What would you say if I promised again
that this hell's not forever, yes I'm sure it will end
They say it's eternal, but they say that in fear
If they said it in love, would it all disappear
Cousin I've been there before
I said it in love then I laughed at myself
'til I cried to my core
And I'm here to tell you there's more
So you do what you will honey
please understand
that the water was froze but the river still ran
So open your hear when you can
I know you'll open your heart when you can

If I call your name again, will you answer me
I don’t know how far you’ll be
But will you answer me
We talk of someday
We talk of someday
Someday loving each other
We talk of maybe
We talk of maybe
Someday loving each other
Playing with our little ones
Playing, playing with their future
Playing with our own desires
Let’s build a house and shelter our own fantasies together
Together
Let’s grow a garden in hopes that we may never hunger again
We talk of someday
We talk of someday
Someday loving each other
We talk of maybe
We talk of maybe
Someday loving each other
Playing with our little ones
Playing, playing with their future
Playing with our own desires
But for now we’ll let each other fly
Yes for now we’ll let each other fly
Playing with our own desires

I met a cowboy
I met myself an angel
I met a witch
I met a woman who has visions
And I’m taken to a lake that has a sun that always shine like I like
And I’m taken to a place that has a bird that always sing like you do
I made a wish and it came true
There’s a woman who says she likes to get around
When she says it I don’t think she mean from town to town
No I look at her and it seems what she meant was in my dreams
Telling me to come on down and say grace
And I’m taken to a lake that has a sun that always shine like I like
And I’m taken to a place that has a bird that always sing like you do
I made a wish and it came true

The Morning After
06:43
|

|
Chasing rabbits in the sea
Chasing rabbits and they’re smiling back at me
Floatin’ around Laughing up at the sky
Feels better than breaking everything in sight
Feels better than hitting
Feels better than hurting
Feels better than calling that young boy down
I think of you and it makes me feel proud and it makes me feel hurt
I think of you and it makes me feel I have something to lose
My face in the dirt
My feet in the water
My hands are on fire
And I breathe you in
I’m breathing you in
This is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where I promise you everything
This is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where I promise you everything
You need
Cause I find some things hard to say
Last night I tried to have a good time
But I think that I knew better
I danced a little, I drank a lot
I thought about you even more
And here I am the morning after
mistaking choking on my tears
for choking on my words
I want to show you what it feels like to be free of all of this
But I don’t even know the answer
I want to send a message to all those who came before me
But I find somethings hard to hear myself
And it’s still the morning after
And the pictures of the rabbits in the sea is somewhere else
And I’m still mistaking my own pride for my ideals
And I’m still mistaking choking on my fears for choking on my words
Cause I find some things hard to say
I find some things hard to say
But this is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where I promise you everything
This is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where you don’t have to worry anymore
This is a love song, this is a love song
The kind where I promise you everything you need
You need
You need
