Still Life
03:59
|
|||
Overlooked all the signs
You can quit anytime
Overworked, overrun
Losing my selfless mind
Overhead, in a line
You can keep what you find
Overwrought, overbooked
Losing myself this time
Your patience, my friend, has been duly noted
So kindly step aside
So come on and shine on
Overturned by the wine
Did you commit any crime
Overtook, overdone
Losing my very last dime
It's the still life you have found
There is still life all around
It's a still life in the canvass of your mind

Grim Event Position
03:48
|
|||
On several occasions
A traveling salesman
Exceeds expectations
Weathered and seasoned
I don't believe in your love anymore
Check the horizon
For a substitute passion
And the gargoyles awaken
They're so grizzled and seasoned

Exit L'Amour

It's your life
You can be whoever you want to be tonight
It's okay that you're annoyed
It's your right
You can say whatever you want to me tonight
It's the game that you enjoy
If you had another collision
Would that get it out of you system
I don't think so, I don't care
It's your pride
That keeps you racing from the reality tonight
It's a fetish you exploit
It's your fight
You can scratch and claw and yell and scream tonight
It's the game that you enjoy

Know The Right People
02:46
|

So you think you've found your ticket out
You think you have a plan
Do you know that there's a formula
For breaking a new band
It's been used inside the industry
Since 1965
If you follow it religiously
Then you just might get signed
You gotta say the right things
And know the right people
You gotta work hard
And know the right people
You gotta stay clean
And know the right people
You gotta look sharp
And know the right people
Don't deceive yourself by pointing out
Exceptions to the rule
They allow it so the consumer
Can be more easily fooled
Obligations that must be fulfilled
Dues that must be paid
No longer a participant
You're merely their new slave

Nonetheless
03:20
|

I took it hard
I keep it here with me
It keeps me company
More or less
Lo and behold
The future comes and goes
The sun is burning out
But I digress
I've been desperate, I've been sad
You were the best I ever had
I cling to something not there anymore
They took it all away from me
I've looked for something to replace
The image of your perfect face
I cling to something not there anymore
I'm sorry I became the enemy
Take my hand
Lift me out again
I Can feel your bones
Nonetheless
Or quickly turn
And leave me all alone
The air is running out
But I digress

One Of Them
05:38

Need some make-up in this light
Bring a change of clothes tonight
Empty pockets nice and tight
Mind the posture, sell it right
Hold your head up high
When you get on that stage
And then ask yourself
Do you still fell out of place
It could happen anywhere
Take your clothes off on a dare
Leave commitments in the air
They don't love they only stare
It feels like a good time
To be just like all the rest
And it feels like a good time
To be just like one of them
The end is always a relief
When the stars shoot out of reach
Forcing doubt onto belief
Never practice, never preach

Friends And Romans
02:58
|
|||
Tell me one more time
That I may finally hear
Tell me one more time
The message wasn't clear
If everything that happens here means nothing
Then why this moderation in your life
You take it all for granted at your own risk
And wonder why this happens every time
Give me one more night
To last me through the years
Give me one more night
To last through all the tears
Friends and Romans lend an ear

Illicit

I was never like the others, baby
I was never like the others, baby
They've got their claws in you
You'll never be like new
So be careful as you hit rock bottom
I will see you through
Don't look back we're leaving Sodom
I believe in you
They put a price on you
They got fat while it grew

Purple Fives
02:47
|
|||
Count the bank several times
Like you used to do
I have nothing to hide
Purple fives looking new
You'll get used to it
I am there next to you
And everything is fine
Swept and changed the signs
Figure it out and let's go home
Figure it out and let's get stoned
Tomorrow's your big day
It'll be alright
You'll know just what to say
Can't stay here all night
You'll start losing it
So let's turn out the lights
And everything's in place
Sent the girls home late
Bring the sign in, lock the door
Fold the t-shirts, count the drawer
Take the trash out, sweep the floor
Make it like it was before

The Last Time
04:22
|
|||
I can't get my head around this life
A little jargon at the front lines
Never get what you desire
Slightly more than is required
So you say
A token gesture and my skin's ablaze
Quit the habit of a good time
Take all that which you've acquired
Moving faster, growing tired
So you say
It's the last time
I would ever trust you
Put your finger on a staid career
In the shape of zodiac signs
And you whore pass is expired
Don't recognize you when you're wired
So you say
It's the last time I'll admit
That I have too much to give
It's the last time that I cry
It's the last time I will die
I will never be the same
And I will never throw away
It's the last time I'll submit
It's the last, I'm through with it

Without Words
04:48
|

Stand by your guns
'Til you have what you want
And you want what you've got
In your hands you possess
All the myriad charms
That could shield you from harm
You reject all display
You have figured it out
Left no room for doubt
Fastening all of you friends
To a scrapbook you store
In a box by the door
You can't answer a question not heard
You can't tell me you thoughts with words
If everything said is a lie
Then I don't mind
The sequence of events makes sense
And tends to justify
Keeping up the present tense
As it passes by
I'll believe in it tomorrow
Today I must repent
And I beg you not to follow
The dowry has been spent
Letters have been sent
Pronounce it blameless and return
Still shaking off the guilt
Spinning faster while we learn
And gather what was spilt

Edge Of The Forest
04:14
|

You had learned this as a child
Lost so much in between
Seen it before in the pages
Of your magazines
Don't forget that you're immortal
Try again but be more careful
When there's motive in the action
And fire beneath your eyes
You're still on your best behavior
Five-star alibi
Don't forget that you're immortal
Try again but be more thankful
All that expires
Insures a beginning
Luck turns around
The world keeps on spinning
Life without death
A song with no chorus
Wind carries seeds
To the edge of the forest

Fictionland

Losing your agenda yesterday
Wasn't half as bad
As you feared it would be
Fell into their trap and once again
You've been sterilized
Does that make you happy
I told you
They're angry
It's dangerous
In Fictionland
Don't believe the fiction
On the television
Lies and contradictions
