Sweet 04:50
Saw you running through the forest trees Blood scabs on your knees humming a whole song blue sundress whipped behind you did everything to find you to hear the faded treble In my trailer park bed I'm thinking that I'm in a wasted lie And when I'm gone far away all I'll say Is to be careful out there I hear ya coming from ravines and the thudded needles pounded from your feet drifting away always wanted to hear what you had to say Well there's always been a pressure on a dream to have and I felt that in you and If you never get to have it they'll tell you thatcha failed though you didn't dear Look at all the lost people with the right to say that they've won their war but most dreams are sweet so please, try to be careful out there I hear ya coming from ravines and the thudded needles pounded from you feet drifting away always wanted to hear what you had to say I'm talking to you whoever you may be Sweet Dreams Never will you see any kind of fault with her till she lets you in When she lets you in know that you won't be able to have any dreams again I'm talking to you the lonely guy who has taken her away I won't feel sad at all when your soul is lost on the moon of your mind I'm talking to you whoever you may be Sweet dreams Sweet Dreams You're gonna hurt like me, so sweet Dreams

The drink stain is a rust red on the stove The color of the back blood pouring all around I made a grave in a bright December Where no tombstone stuck out of the ground I had to float my baby to the planetary system I had to find out With the moon cool, strong pull, going in to kiss her I had to find out Find out Is love on the rise, or is it at my feet? whooooa, all the violins have vibrated in me My faded eyes don't shine bright in the sun From all the actions that can't be undone I'm not the man never thought I'd never be I held her hand but I held it to never understand I had to float my baby to the planetary system I had to find out With the moon cool, strong pull, going in to kiss her I had to find out Is love on the rise, or is it at my feet? Whooooa, All the violins have vibrated in me Vibrated in me whoah, this love in my head I seem to piss it away whoah, all the violins They're fading away They're fading away Is love on the rise, or is it at my feet? Whoah all the violins are fleeting away, fleeting away

Saralinah 03:10
I kinda wish I was cool Like Sarahlinah The way she dicks with my head With shiny legs in the sun I kinda wish I was cool Like Sarahlinah When she's tugging me down I tell her I don't mind Well If you're looking for an answer It's gonna be found on your own And if you're looking for disaster You'll find it not being alone There's gotta be a secret wave It tries to pull me away and under Been tugging me another way I gotta try just a little bit longer I gotta try just a little bit And try to be cool And be the bad man Confide original sin And not tear up inside I kind of wish I had the nerve To take an eye from her she's chosen me cause I cannot hurt no one Well if you're looking for an answer It's gonna be found on your own And if you're looking for disaster You'll find it not being alone There's gotta be a secret wave It tries to pull me away and under Been tugging me another way I gotta try just a little bit longer I gotta try

I saw a heart-shaped kind on the street The way it bled in cracks in the summer heat I saw it biking on the concrete lines Beating through it's ribs where it used to be dying I don't need you to come off wild I'm just looking for somebody with a primitive style And I don't need you to run the wheel I don't wanna have somebody with a plastic feel Serves pink lemonade all the time In a hotel bath with a bottle of wine I've been fed up with the feeling of love It's such a banality I don't need you to come off wild I'm just looking for somebody with a primitive style And I don't need you to run the wheel I don't wanna have somebody with a plastic feel We are an old star, Hunny Yes we are it all We're gonna find a new star when we're gone And death is coming to meet me It's down on the street We're gonna form a new star when we're gone (hummmm) I don't need you to come off wild I'm just looking for somebody with a primitive style I don't need you to run the wheel I don't wanna have somebody with a plastic feel Honestly I'm looking for something real

New Mexico 03:52
When I was a boy The sun was burning my eyes crossed out fortunes decide she waits for me living on the street a ghost she starts with a sigh crept in the colored sky of monet ohhh, in time you'll feel it okay and the flowers in her coffin say New Mexico leave it alone Keepin' with the trend Our car quit near the end Hands in pocket pretend It's all okay Desert in the wind Two plums whisper and bend Heartbeat and colors descend They stay ohhh, In time you'll feel it okay And the flowers in her coffin say New Mexico leave it alone Ohhh When time is slippin' away and you're looking for another god New Mexico will leave you alone

Hold 03:04
Whenever you are holding my hand The concrete turns into sand The leaves are desiccating on the ground Like promises I can't give you now But I'm trying to protect her From the angry-heart-eating man I wanna be consistent Like the cemetery grave lines I wanna hold her in my arms We danced across the wood floors of my home By flowers in a sunny window She stays only awhile, then she goes To somebody I don't even know but I'm trying to protect her From the angry-heart-eating man I wanna be consistent Like the cemetery grave lines I wanna hold her in my arms I wanna have the patience To make it through all of the time I wanna have direction not to fall off that delicate line Yeah, I wanna rock you in my arms

I drew every arrow at your shield That could have fought for camelot Foggy empire fields I shot you with every rhino gun I owned But little did I know You're impenetrable God, how hard your life is gonna be If you always wanna live to stay the same Monotone blues invade your mouth Your pasty face will shatter to the ground I mapped through, the caves in you, to find a river of truth I charted the freckles on your back It's time to leave These fantasies My psychotic bitch I can't let go of
8.
Krause 03:54
Krause is there more in a life that I'll never know? Blazed on your saddle, knuckles of white I'll hold on forever if I hold on tight Singin' like a bell all through the night When I had a ghost I ignored it anyway My shadow spoke, I didn't hear a word it said I road into hell a zombie of light I never saw the world till I lost my high But life is so beautiful Open your eyes Life on a string It's nothing like a holiday road I've been promising for myself To live lonelier my friend Krause is there more to life that I never knew? Blazed on your saddle, knuckles of white I'll hold on forever If I hold on tight Singin' like a bell all through the night

Moving ahead Leaving my thoughts out at the station Where a movies unreeled from my head Following sea fields for something on the highway the past it lies dead In the haze of the heat Like a dream While It's moving on a silver screen The cards on the table past the houses They've gotta fold on you Been singing trying to exist But they've taken my gun Bust a hole in my leg of my consciousness again Moving ahead Following brightest constellations That don't shine for a water sign yet There's gotta be deep space for something No star has the price of my bed Like it does in a dream In a dream It's moving on a silver screen The cards on the table past the houses They've gotta fold on you Been singing trying to exist Been lying my head, on a back, on the sea of a rolling wave A rolling wave Walking out the door A sea of fields is on the horizon They roll but won't crash for me yet There's gotta be deep space for something On the highway I left not to dream for me To dream for god I dream for you

Flame 05:02
I've seen the world in black and white But know where the colors have to go I've traveled on planes and rusty trains The steamboats on the river These locals heads weigh down their legs Heavy and full with junk I tell em' keep your thoughts to yourself And let em' be your own There's been a broken arrow lodged in me Since I was just a little boy From people who focus on people Rather than seeing how the delta reeds bend They say I'm going down to hell But the hell with that Just keep your sins to yourself And let em' be your own My little son, he carries on What we have left of my wife Perched on a bench like two birds Counting boats, we talk of her They say my baby went down to hell But the hell with them Just keep your sins to yourself And let em' be your own What you feel now, I know that I feel too From the promises of a life that I once knew Cause you are a flame off of me I'm a flame off of you Cause you are a flame off of me I'm a flame off of you You are a flame off of me I'm a flame off of you

Well I'm not here to break any hearts Especially when you know when it starts I'm not here to break any hearts Especially when you know it I'm like a plastic cup Been placed in a limousine I don't wanna hurt no one I don't wanna cause a scene Cause I'm not here to break any hearts Especially when you know when it starts I'm not here to break any hearts Especially when you know when it starts OH, GOD I want you to know I'm just a chemical Smoke a ciggy and drive around Smoke another ciggy and drive around Your sunglasses they hug my mind I wanna see ya but I keep hurting you time, to time, and to time again But I'm not here to break any hearts Especially when you know when it starts I'm not here to break any hearts Especially when you know when it starts OH, GOD I want you to know I'm just a chemical You threw lightning bolts like Zeus so I ran away Then smiled as if you'd forgotten whatcha did that day Well I'm not here to break any hearts (I'm not here, I'm not here, I'm not here) Especially when you know when it starts
