Save Me From Me
04:11
|
|||
You are the strong when I am weak
You see the things I cannot see
You catch me everytime I fall
And when my back’s against the wall (You always)
Save Me from Me
I must admit I sometimes say
The most outlandish type of claims
But you can always bring me back
From an all out ego attack
Save Me from Me
I used to walk this road alone
And when it’s me against myself
My whole life feels just like a cell
You are the hand that pulls me out
It’s my own self you save me from
Save Me from Me

Dark Light
03:55
|

I went down to the river to kill myself
I jumped in even though I could not swim
And I sank down to the bottom,
I Sank down to the bottom
Dark Light was all I could see
One of these days you’re gonna treat me right
One of these days you’re gonna treat me riiiiiighttttt
I tried solving it all with drink
Drank ten shots until I could not think
And I sank down in the bottle,
I sank down in the bottle
Dark Light was all I could see
One of these days you’re gonna treat me right
One of these days you’re gonna treat me riiiiiighttttt
Your love is a dark light
Your love is a dark light
The setting sun is low up in the sky
An old new moon brings darkness to the night
And I sank down to the bottom, I sank down to the bottom
Dark Light was all I could see

Honey Bee
03:25
|
|||
Sweeten than sugar from a maple tree
As bright as the stars on a dark sea
She's my yellow jacket in a cold breeze
Yeah She's got, She's got everything I need
...my Honey Bee
As perfect as an apple hanging from a tree
As bright as a star on a mountain peak
I love it when she buzzes around me
Yeah she's got, she's got everything I need
... my honey bee
Honey Be, Honey Be Kind Honey Be, Honey Be mine
Honey Be, Honey Be Kind Honey Be, Honey Be mine
As pretty as a bird flying high and free
As sweet as the honey that I put in my tea
Her love is always stinging me
Yeah, she’s got , she’s got, everything I need
... my honey bee

Burrito Song
03:58
|
|||
Duran Duran, Slumber Party
When silver cockroaches were her only friends
She’s breaking bottles, on my blown-out tires
I think she’s had too much to drink, but so have I
Her hands are shaking, she needs some more caffeine
Everytime I’m around her it’s like a dream
Cause She’s my Bean and Cheese Burrito
And I don’t want to end up, trapped in 53
I don’t want to end up another memory
Cause friends they come, and friends they go
She said you know how these things go
And people change, people change
Nothing lasts, and everything must fall
But these memories remind me
That it was worth it all
Cause she’s my Bean and Cheese Burrito X6
You don’t have to hang around
With cockroaches no more.

South City Moon

Under a South City Moon
She told me everything was alright
She said she told the truth
But her eyes were filled with lies
Under a South City Moon
She told me everything was alright
I fell in love with you on South Grand Boulevard
Didn’t know you were gonna be so hard
I drove home that night in the pouring rain
It was coming down so hard I could hardly see anything
But I’m you’re Ghost
But I can see right through you
Under a South City Moon
She told me everything was alright
She said she told the truth
But her eyes were filled with lies
Under a South City Moon
She told me everything was alright
How am I supposed to show my face around here
What am I supposed to do next time you are near
I went down to Dirty River
I was gonna just throw myself right in
I thought that Dirty River could wash away all of my sins
But I’m you’re Ghost
But I can see right through you
Under a South City Moon
She told me everything was alright
She said she told the truth
But her eyes were filled with lies
Under a South City Moon
She told me everything was alright.

You’re right on time
We’ve been waiting here for you
Not hard to find
And you know just what to do
Hey Superhero, Always saving everyone
Hey Superhero, When you’re in trouble

You’re fighting crime
And you’re never feeling blue
You never cry
But tell me do you want to?
Hey Superhero, Always saving everyone
Hey Superhero, When you’re in trouble
Who’s gonna save you
Faster than a speeding bullet
But can you run away
From the feelings when they pull at
You’re heart strings hey…
Hey Superhero, Always saving everyone
Hey Superhero, When you’re in trouble
Who’s gonna save you

Morning Wonder
03:17
|
|||
It’s day for you and night for me
Meet me somewhere in between
Things aren’t always what they seem
Is this love or just a dream
Ah Aha Morning Wonder, yes I wonder
Ah Aha Morning Wonder, well I wonder
Should Anybody feel this good (A major walk up)
Don’t know if I should (A major walk down)
Don’t know if I should

Midnight Train
04:04
|
|||
Anyway the wind will blow
When I go, I got to go
Though it is a lonely road,
It’s the only life I know
So Honey, I Ride on a Midnight Train
Gonna pay a heavy toll
Dig myself a deep deep hole
When there’s nothing left to hold
When your fires burnin’ cold
I Ride on a Midnight Train
SO I’m leaving in the dead of the night
And I won’t a be coming back.
Livin’ in a picture frame
Just another nameless name
Everyday the memory fades
Looking for a resting place
I Ride on a Midnight Train

Streetlights
06:03
|
|||
Why don’t you tell the truth about yourself?
If you don’t well then no one will
It’s always a long way home
When all you are is a rolling stone.
But in the streetlights I feel like we’re always changing
I just want one night where nobody knows my name
Why did you mention that you were my friend
And then leave before the end
You know I got a heavy heart
From Trying to play the part
But in the streetlights I feel like we’re always changing
I just want one night where nobody knows my name
We’re honest, we’re ruthless
So be honest, be ruthless…tonight
I got your message on the phone
You just wanted to be alone
I heard you burnt your pictures up
What are you thinking about love?
But in the streetlights I feel like we’re always changing
I just want one night where nobody knows my name

So Long To California
05:42
|
|||
Sometimes the road is a heavy load,
But Baby the road is the only life we know
Seven miles from California
I told you “You could tell me anything”
You said “This town’s a black hole, I can feel its pull
And I don’t know just who is gonna win”
Oh and it’s so long to California
So long to what might have been
Oh and it’s so long to California
But I did what I did now it’s so long to California
Slept in late, Tucson Arizona
Thought we’d roll the dice and try our luck
But we go fast and we go hard
And we found out we had lost all we won
Well should we stop right here
Or keep on trying to build a bigger bomb?
Oh and it’s so long to California
So long to what might have been
Oh and it’s so long to California
But I did what I did now it’s so long to California
Everything is Burning Down
You and I are burning down
Oh and it’s so long to California
So long to what might have been
Oh and it’s so long to California
But I did what I did now it’s so long to California

Caffeine pills and alcohol
She gets up when she falls
Marie
Been breaking hearts since 92
I wonder what she's going to do
Marie
Such a beautiful thing
I'm on needles and pins
Marie
I wanna be your lavender
Your really good smelling cure
Marie
Addictive personality
But have you tried a drug like me
Marie
Such a beautiful thing
I'm on needles and pins
Marie
Don't talk about being strong
When you've never had
Your back up against the wall
Like Marie
And when I'm getting old and grey
She'll pick out all the music yeah
Marie
You can see it any time she smiles
I wonder if she'll stay a while
Marie
Such a beautiful thing
I'm on needles and pins
Marie
I can see it any time she smiles
I wonder if she'll stay a while
Marie
I can feel it any time she smiles
I wish that you would stay a while
