I’ve got a magic eraser
Just say the words and I’ll erase ya
With a paraffin smile
Sagittarian eyes
… couple pairs of Chuck Taylors
I shoulda left yesterday
got goin’ when the good was just goin’ away
now we’re stuck
fucked up
couple drinks past drunk
got a couple regrets left
to throw in the trunk
Baby, you’re excitable
And maybe I’m excitable too
I’ve got a magic bag of air
Just say the word, I’ll let you have it
With a supermodel smile
Sunglasses on yr eyes
It’s not a habit it’s just havin’ fun
I shoulda left yesterday
Let the cameras steal my soul
Let my body just wither away
Where’d you get that
Baby where’d you get that
Glamorous contortion
And it hit me like a potion
Baby, you’re excitable
And maybe I’m excitable too
But if it wouldn’t be too terrible
Maybe I could spend the night makin’ excuses
I… I… don’t have the words….
Memorized
We spend our separate daydreams
Fallin’ apart at the…
Seems to me that lately
I just can’t say what I mean to mean to mean to…
I got a kindergarten crush
Just say the words, I’ll pull your pigtails
With a monkey bar smile
Power rangers in yr eyes
Guess I’ll see you at naptime
I shoulda left yesterday
Rode that paper airplane that I folded and thrown it away
Now I’m stuck
Glued shut
Just a kickball to punt
Gotta make it to recess…
Make it to recess…
Baby, you’re excitable
And maybe I’m excitable too
But if it wouldn’t be too terrible
Maybe I could spend the night makin’ excuses
I… I… don’t have the words….
Memorized

What am I talking about
I don’t know the first thing about raising the stakes
I just make my mistakes
Then I hope for the best
What am I talking about
I don’t know a thing about strategy
What does it matter to me
I just hope for the best
You say you love me anyway
And I don’t know any other way
So I live my life any way that I can x 2
What am I talking about
I don’t know a thing about setting the scene
I just say what I mean
And I hope for the best
What am I talking about
I just say the first thing that comes to my heart
Not quite sure where it ends
Pretty sure where it starts
Don't be so cold
There's no sense standing in the road without you
I guess I just passed out
That's all I know

when she was alone
she said, "well, ain't nobody complicated as me"
when she would get tired
she couldn't unwind
always clinging to possibilities
she said, “if I was prettier
than the glass that's melting under my hands.
And I'm spent
it's a permanent dance..."
with legs barely strong enough to stand
and now when everybody laughs
feels like they're smiling on her behalf
when she was alone
they said, "careful of the answers that you seek"
when she would get tired
s'a painting in her mind
canvas stretches to infinity
she said, “if I was prettier
than the pills that are spilling out of my hands.
And I'm spent
it's a different landing"
with legs barely strong enough to stand
and now when everybody laughs
feels like they're smiling on her behalf
and now when everybody sings
still doesn't mean a god-damned thing
not to leave a bitter taste
but nothing's sadder than wasting your time
she'll always be a friend of mine
she said, “if I was prettier than....
luckier than....
more wonderful than...
And I'm spent
it's a permanent dance.."
with legs barely strong enough to stand

the first stone’s easy to throw
keep lookin’ around till you can’t find home no more
don’t worry about nothin’ more
I’ve had enough
the next stone’s easier, just let it go
always rollin’ around till you can’t gather moss no more
always sayin’ don’t worry about nothin’ more
I’ve had enough
you lay me so low
lay me so rough
take all of your cold
take all of your games
gonna skip me like a stone
gonna free me from your name
take all of your lies
been a bitter mistake
gonna skip me like a stone
gonna drive me to LA
with every step with the subway deafening me
try to move, it’s time to leave definitely
took a deep breath and I lost it

Jus’ a song for my little friend DJ
Gots a sensitive soul stuck on replay
He wants everyone to be strong
Everyone to be fair
He say goodbye with a lullaby let-go
Gotta meet up with a girl from the late show
Smile like everybody got some
Everyone’ll be fair
And if he wants it, only matters if it’s real
Matters if he cares enough to tell you how he
Feels like holdin’ on
Only matters if it’s real
Matters if it’s real
He loves this girl with a voice like a ring tone
Says he’ll even give a call on the cell phone
Don’t mind sayin’ that he’ll stay strong
Everybody be fair
She gives him love like a fireworks explode
Got a body burnin’ up, break the fire code
Smile like if everybody got somebody
Gonna be fair
What he don’t know
Is she got another show next door
Rollin’ around like a rodeo
She can’t stay too long
Cause she got another home
Another foot in the door
Another foot in the door
He say goodbye with a lullaby let-go

What can I say to make you stay with me
Should I surrender
Inside your prison I could be free
Or should I seduce you
and change my strategy
You speak out loud without a sound
My tongue is tied my lips are bound,
cause you undo me
Unravel me
and take control of mind and body
VERSE 2
This is no love that has been written of
And as for tomorrow
that just rhymes with sorrow
and I'm just rhyming for tonight, cause
These are my lips those are your thighs
this is my touch and my fingertips love
words can deceive but lips never lie
You undo me
Unravel me
Take control of my body
CHORUS
Take off all of your armor
we're so,we're so we're so vulnerable
Oh won't you please show me
all of your mystery
touch me and then you'll see
these arms are the safest place for you to be

if I had to insult myself
would I be a village idiot
or would I be a bit naive
if I had to endure myself
would it make it any easier
to know that you're a bit like me
everything I know is what you tell me I should know
tastes so gullible and bittersweet
I don't know where to go, but I'm starvin'
give my love all my love
give my love all my love
forgive my love all my love
give my love all my love
if it made any bit of sense
would it matter any more if you're
a victim of the cirumstance
if I made a clever excuse
would it it matter if I lied
or if I painted all over the truth
everything I know is what you tell me I should know
tastes so gullible and bittersweet
standing on a vertical between you and defeat
guess it's only poetry to me
I don't know where to go, but I'm starvin'
give my love all my love
give my love all my love
forgive my love all my love
give my love all my love

You can be the storm, I'll be the stake
you can be the wind, I'll be the window that you break
you can be the creak of the stairs when you catch me unaware
and tell me you're leaving me
already know how this story goes
already know you don't live here anymore
I need somebody to
make all my wishes come true
I need somebody to
make all my wishes come true
just like you used to do
you can be the fire, I'll be the wood
you can burn so cold when you don't hold me like you should
you can be the whisper of dawn when you say you're moving on
and tell me you're leaving me
already know how this story goes
already know you don't love me anymore
I need somebody to
make all my wishes come true
I need somebody to
make all my wishes
make all my wishes go
I was Pablo Picasso
painting in squares
wanting you there
paintbrush in my hand
just can't understand
where my beauty went
when my beauty went
you can be the light, I'll be the book
you can cast your shadow I'll be the memory that you took
you can be as happy as you wanna be, long as it's with me.. long as it's with...
already know how this story goes
already know you don't love me anymore

lyrics by:
if I call you by a name that isn't yours
don't get mad, it means I love you
if an accidental wave makes you think I've washed away
it means I love you
I've got so many ways of messin' up
it's an avalanche of days—I can't keep up
if I happen to forget the exact hour that we met
it means I love you
if I'm at the Laundromat and I don't know where my socks are at
it means I love you
I've almost forgotten what it's like
I've almost forgotten what it's like
to not have you
What you say to a girl who knows she got everything?
We all get lucky sometimes
Jus' a girl I know who'll give you everything
I know it seems
a bit to me
too much to remember…
If I get a bit upset
don't you worry, don't you fret
it means I love you

You want a lawyer’s smile
I’m just another accountant biding his time
You need a senator’s heartbeat
I got a farmer’s sense of pride
Hello, baby ‘hello’
Where you want these lonely people to go?
You got investigator eyes
I’m just a poet’s ideal; got nothing to hide
You want an engineer downbeat
I’m a drummer’s improvise
We can let this be a blank invitation
We can let the matter slip
Let the station change
Things could be stranger
Don’t be a stranger
You got a teacher’s promise
I’ve got a steelworker’s steel-toed will, yes I will
You got an activist’s wonder
I’m just a junkie’s bitter pill
Hello, baby ‘hello’
Where you want these lonely people to go?
What’s worth it
If the world isn’t worth it
We can leave it all to melt in the rain
Why say it
If the words can’t explain it
We can leave it all to melt in the rain

lyrics by:
You were right when you said I was lost—I was lost
Not an question of timing, a question of cost
It’s just somebody told me it’s not what it seems
Do you know what I mean?
It’s a slowly unfolding a cellophane scene
You were right when you said I was lost—I was lost
Just an ocean too far that I’m swimming across
Not a question of time but an answer of mine written in dust
Not about who your friends are, it’s about who you trust
You were right to play dumb
I was wrong to believe
Do you know where that leaves us?
We can fight till we come
But it’s better to leave
Do you know where that leaves us
Fast asleep
Seemed like everything's going so well
Maybe it's just a story that we tell ourselves
It's the sand of the desert, dusty as hell
Can't see through the flurry, can't break the spell

lyrics by:
The first steps are the hardest
Like tryin’ to learn to walk on your own
Shaky legs to empty beds, cluttered head
Thoughts screamin’ out, “my baby ain’t comin’ home”
It’ll take a long time to work it out
Who said what and who did wrong
But as long as you’re standin’ in the door at the edge of cryin’
Y’might as well take a breath, take a second, ask yourself if you’re strong
Strong enough to watch me leave
Can you let me go?
All them lonely seconds tickin’ by too slow
Would you change a thing?
I know the answer’s “no”.
You still think you’re right but babe, I guess I told you so
You see how winning’s the hardest
Mighta got the battle but you lost the war
You won a fight, big deal—you’re right. Who cares about that tonight?
Ain’t no one keepin’ score.
Might take a along time to work it out
Who knows the truth and who’s got it wrong
But as long as I’m walkin’ down the hall at the edge of cryin’
Might as well take a breath, take a second, ask yourself if you’re strong—
The more I clench my teeth
The more your words repeat
The more it’s useless now to speak… to speak
But as long as you’re walkin’…

Come off as sudden as a cell phone ringin'
near the end of the movie where the hero is bleeding
and everything is do or die
yr fingers keep on blinking cause they're covering yr eyes
I got the steadfast wisdom of that rollin train
Got them prescription glasses thin as cellophane
I got further to go than just from here to the aisle
and baby I even got some jujubes to make you smile
where we gonna go, what we gonna see, don't matter baby
just kiss me
how’s it gonna go, how we gonna play this little rhapsody
takin' it too slow ain't as bad as sayin' "no"
so I'm treadin' these tender waters kinda carefully
... just kiss me...
got sick and tired bout them hopscotch ladies
got me jumpin’ through hoops makin’ me feel like I’m crazy
always gettin’ high an’ wastin’ time
them bullets got me broadside with a serpentine
fake out, y’made out takin’ that shady
“won’t you call me a lady”
and “baby you know I’m yr baby”
yeah a joke is just a joke
less you choke instead of laugh
nothin’ ventured… don’t even mention… baby I can’t change my past
It’s no good speaking with a bottle in hand
Kinda hard to find the meaning ‘less you understand
I got a telephone smile, eyes baby blue
Can’t stop grinnin’ just lookin’ at you
I got the stab fast twitchin' of a jumpy soul
take a deep breath of you before you make me lose control
I got no games, no better names for the script we're sayin
but if you wanna take it home then baby I feel the same
but while we're still sittin' here waiting for the credits to roll
I gotta move before m'silence makes me pay the toll
and now a peck is just a peck 'less it's answered in a kiss
nothing ventured... don't even mention... can't let the night end like this
Where we gonna go?
Where we gonna go?
Just kiss me.

Another dawn, another life
Not smart enough to dodge the knife
Don’t snap his bones, don’t grind his teeth
Don’t taste so good enough for them to eat
Wouldn’t it be something if this only happened once upon a…
Time it cost him somethin’ and it’s addin’ up, addin’ up
It’s the same, always the same
Let the merry-go round spin around again x 2
No stoppin’ today
Tidy up, tuck his shirt
Drink just enough to dull the hurt
It’s not his walk, it’s not his style
Can’t come up with another salesman smile
Don’t go where you wanna go
Another dream gets crushed to pay the toll
Don’t go where you wanna go
If it pays the bills but it sucks his will is it worth it, worth it?

If it ever snows again I’m burnin’ the building down
Gotta red hot laserbeam I built myself
Wrote it off to the tax man
Told my landlord, didn’t give a damn
If it ever snows again I’m burning the building down
Thank you January…
If it ever snows again I’m burnin’ the building down
Watch the smoke float up watch the ashes fall down
Never wrote him a rent check
Told my landlord hope he breaks his neck
If it ever has the balls to snow again I’m burning the building down
Thank you January
You’re unnecessarily cruel to me
It’s been a bitter winter here
My blood is colder than my beer
Better call rent control
If it ever snows again I’m burnin’ the building down
Gonna pack my bags
Gonna leave this town…

‘stead of goodnight I’ll sing you a lullaby
just close your eyes
we ain’t gotta worry ‘bout tomorrow tonight
oh, your bed’s so nice and warm
I should know
I think I mighta been there once or twice before
‘stead of goodnight I’ll kiss you a lullaby
if you look in my eyes
that’s the only stars to wish on tonight
oh, just sleep the day away
no more words to confuse you
jus’ listen to your heartbeat say
she say
I’m missin’ you
missin’ charms and open arms
and babe, I got nothin’ left but dreams
‘bout holdin’ you while you’re sleepin’
countin’ seconds ‘stead of sheep
‘cause that hourglass’ too steep
guess I gotta lay back
and pray for sleep—
promised you a lullaby, didn’t I?
stead of g’night, I’m just goin’ bide my time
if there’s guilt on your mind
guess that you ain’t goin’ be sleepin’ tonight
all you got’s the bed you made
hope you got some pillows left
you can stuff ‘em with those lies that you saved
