the color code
04:48
|

the colors of the buildings
are in your head
i know one day
you'll understand
the color code
its blue
you're just not breaking through
not like you wanted to
you left that dream back a long time ago
easy go, easy come, you know
you left your heart on the side of the road
if you keep looking back
you'll see yourself attack
the things you learned but you already know
you'll go too far, you'll miss your only star
the only light leading back to your heart
you've got time to study,
study microbiological things
you could make some money money
micromanage all of your dreams
you're just not breaking through
not like you wanted to
you left that dream back a long time ago
easy go, easy come, you know
you left your heart on the side of the road
if you keep looking back
you'll see yourself attack
the things you learned but you already know
you'll go too far, you'll miss your only star
the only light leading back to your heart

say that you want it

come on, come on
show me something
i know it's waiting in the chamber like a loaded gun
we've got no reason to be holding on the things we love
cause everything we love will soon be things we let go of
let's just keep waiting for the perfect time to speak up
let's just keep waiting for good things to happen to us
let's just keep waiting for the inevetable
let's just keep waiting for whatever will come
say that you want it
let's just keep waiting for the perfect time to speak up
let's just keep waiting for good things to happen to us
let's just keep waiting for the inevetable
let's just keep waiting for whatever will come
say that you want it

i'll push anything

we live in a rowhouse, we live in a town
where all we do is move around
and every single street has another street turning you around
we live in an apartment, we live in an apartment
far, far away from natural decay
we live in a hotel, we live in a hotel
all we do is pay, we have to leave someday
i'll push anything away
we live in a complex, in a paper house
where all we do is drive around
and everything we need is in the fortress that surrounds
we live in a toy house, we live in a toy house
where everything is made to totally decay
we live in a hotel, we live in a hotel
all we do is sleep, wake up and repeat
i'll push anything away

over lightning
03:00
|

you're halfway between
a knife and stitches, such electrical dreams
where life illuminated such honest belief
that everything changes when you change your routine
it doesN'T it doesN'T
i doN'T
get it
spell it
out please
write it
speak it
doN'T just
dream it
god is
is shining
over lightning
i saw ex-
ploding
cars and
buildings
you're halfway between
a knife and stitches, such electrical dreams
where life illuminated such honest belief
that everything changes when you change your routine
it doesN'T it doesN'T
i doN'T
get it
spell it
out please
write it
speak it
doN'T just
dream it
god is
is shining
over lightning
i saw ex-
ploding
cars and
buildings
you're halfway between
a knife and stitches, such electrical dreams

oh, let's take another way
all of the signs say "warning"
whatever takes us longer
whatever takes us longer and i
i can tell it's getting colder
i'll put my jacket on your shoulder
and if you see me shaking
just look away
good karma, be good to me
a little more, a little more
just give me just a little good,
karma
dont freak out
just give me just a little more a little more,
a little good
karma, be good to me
a little more, a little more
just give me just a little good,
karma
dont freak out
just give me just a little more a little more,
a little good
oh just try an look away
cause i am only just nervous
the wind is blowing through my heart
i've got the darkness pulling my mind
into a place that i remember
where i got lost and couldN'T find her
and everybody is a stranger
a stranger
good karma, be good to me
a little more, a little more
just give me just a little good,
karma
dont freak out
just give me just a little more a little more,
a little good
karma, be good to me
a little more, a little more
just give me just a little good,
karma
dont freak out
just give me just a little more a little more,

your little earth
03:41
|

(is this all the time)
we've got to change everything
(is this all the time)
so take off all of your rings
(is this all the time)
we've got no time to relax
(is this all the time)
we've got to change everything
half of the the people in your little earth
are only half of what you think they're worth
what goes around comes halfway down
the other half is all around
if you're going to spend
half your life
filling yourself with romantic lies
its over
something's tearing our hearts right out
it must be words put in your mouth
we wear that thing out everyday
we've got to change everything
half of the the people in your little earth
are only half of what you think they're worth
what goes around comes halfway down
the other half is all around
if you're going to spend
half your life
filling yourself with romantic lies
its over

dead don't lie
03:56
|
|||
i'm all you see, i'm all you see
we're all the same, we're all the same
we're rolling out just like a storm over the sea
and when we rain, we'll do anything
i could follow in your footsteps
where they lead, when you leave
you've been walking through the roses again
let's make believe
that if i followed all your footsteps
where they lead when you leave
no matter how pretty a rose can become
they'll make you bleed
like a rain falling in a dream
like a razor cutting through a seam
the dead dont lie
it's a moment just to take you
a whole life just to make you
the dead don't lie
if i'm all you see, i dont know what i want to be
the dead don't lie
you hold my hand
so much tighter than you can
the dead don't lie
i could follow in your footsteps
where they lead, when you leave
you've been walking through the roses again
let's make believe
that if i followed all your footsteps
where they lead when you leave
no matter how pretty a rose can become
they'll make you bleed

poison fruit

pull me out
of the water
its freezing cold
and im under
a foot of ice
can you see me
scratching on the top
like a kitty
my heart is slowing down
dont stop
my head is spinning
like a top
needles and pins
oh no oh no oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
and you'll do anything to stay dry,
you bit the apple in the back of your eye
you chewed it up and you spit out the seeds
in the soil of the desert where you cant grow trees
and there they'll lay dormant for a thousand years
until the rain comes down like a million tears
and there will be an orchard of poison fruit
poison fruit, poison fruit...
just keep pushing me down head first
to the center of the middle of the bottom of the earth
just keep pushing me down, keep pushing me
down
keep pushing me
down
and you'll do anything to stay dry,
you bit the apple in the back of your eye
you chewed it up and you spit out the seeds
in the soil of the desert where you cant grow trees
and there they'll lay dormant for a thousand years
until the rain comes down like a million tears
and there will be an orchard of poison fruit
poison fruit, poison fruit...
pull me out
of the water
its freezing cold
and im under
a foot of ice
can you see me
scratching on the top
like a kitty
my heart is slowing down
dont stop
my head is spinning
like a top
needles and pins
oh no oh no oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
just keep pushing me down head first
to the center of the middle of the bottom of the earth
just keep pushing me down, keep pushing me
down
keep pushing me
down

she had a sister
she carried her home
through the backyards
through a foot of snow
she had a sister
she left her alone
and she froze
she had a mother
that she didN'T know
she carried the baby
through nine months of snow
and then it was summer
time to go
and we'll go.
she really gets me, oh.
she had a country
she had a home
they took it away
in a cloud of smoke
they gave her a new place
that she didN'T know
she'll go
so after the bombs stopped
and after the snow
she came to america
why? i'll never know
and after my heart stopped
she carried me home
real slow.
she really gets me, oh.

i almost died
04:14

i wish i had that state of mind all the time
a place to lean this boulder on
i wish i had it in the palm of my hands
instead of wishing it was gone
i felt like. i almost died.

i see it in your heart
a broken path to start
which way do you want to go?
in one direction love,
the other dangerous
when they do it for the money.
i'll do it for the money.
would you die for the money?
we all do it for the money.
is anyone out there where you are?
counting change out on the bar
the exact same place where everyone goes
when they do it for the money
i'll do it for the money.
would you die for the money?
we all do it for the money.
