mediocrity suites me
i can dance circles with myself
nearsighted self sacrifice
eyes opened wild out of style
beat it retreat cut and run
self serving no sacrifice
i'm so happy, i'm so sad
mediocrity suites me
i can dance circles with myself
nearsighted self sacrifice, self serving no sacrifice
i'm so happy, i'm so sad
hey mister, i'll just sit here
in the silence, it burns in my ear
you're and empty shell, you're so empty
i still love you, nothings changed there, nothings changed
I just love you, feel you on my shoulders
sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
sunshine almost always makes me smile

can you tell me how it got this way
my hand was so bad, shame, shame on it
let me go and come and get me
justice is blind, I poisoned her eyes
too bad, so sad
it's too late to make it, too late to make it right
let me go and come and get me
forgive and forget
don't take my eyes, don't take my teeth
forgive and forget
learned my lesson at your expense
grace is amazing
it's too late to make it, too late to make it right
let me go and come and get me
forgive and forget
don't take my eyes, don't take my teeth
forgive and forget

Rattle

between the lost and found
there is a story sometimes
and the hand that made you
the hand that made you real
he's got you twisted and so contorted
can't knock you over, can't knock you over
cause he don't know which way to fall
hung seven stories, above the forest
he's outstanding, outstanding is his field
those ribbons on your chest
won't make you feel so good
if i rattle your chain
rattle your chain yeah
cause he don't know which way to fall
he's always under pressure
from the corner of my eyes
i see the truth from all your lies
my conscience is clear, the way you always feared
no thoughts to reason, no self respect now
can't knock you over, can't knock you over
cause he don't know which way to fall
he's always under pressure

david listens to the music, jimi tries to sing
they don't even know this song, or what it really means
I stopped to clean my glasses so i can see tv
david wants me to sing with him, he learned it from me
i wish i could tell them about all the bad things
i wish i could show them how to avoid them
i wish i could take both of their hands
i wish i could teach them how to sing
david wants to be a ballplayer, any works for jim
they have two different fathers, someday i will tell them
i wish i could tell them about all the bad things
i wish i could show them how to avoid them
i wish i could take both of their hands
i wish i could teach them how to sing
your shadow never leaves you
when the sun sets, the moon is there
and if those two boys really want it
wish

Underwater
03:51
|
|||
|
you can find him here if the sky is clear and the waters still
like the calm before the storm that brought him to this world alone
he is naked there, waves in his hair, cannot breathe the air
as he strolls along the playground of his underwater mansion
he speaks to me in tiny circles rising to the surface
can i walk with you under the water
with no family now, he'll get by somehow and all he has
is a goldfish in a plastic bag, untied him and set free
but he loves it there, loves the atmosphere and the loneliness
doesn't bother him or the goldfish, he won't share this with anybody
he speaks to me in tiny circles rising to the surface
can i walk with you under the water
he can't grow up, i can't go down
there's is a barrier between us
he's in too deep, he's in too deep
he can't grow up, i can't go down
there's a barrier between us
i can't walk with you under the water
if i could be with him in this lonely inn where the small fish swim
it would surely make him happy, oh god i really envy him
on these rainy days, in the misty haze, think of all the ways
i could be with you underwater and i know that will never happen
he speaks to me in tiny circles rising to the surface
he can't grow up, i can't go down there' a barrier between us
he's in too deep, he's in too deep
he can't grow up, i can't go down
there's a barrier between us
i can't walk with you under the water

Basement Door

my brother lost his mind staring at a door
such a simple mind, he can't use it anymore
the door was always locked and why should he care
no one visits him, but he is always there
i've seen pain come an go, i've seen love and hate
i've seen his face and i know i've seen the hand of fate
but i never seen the basement door
my brother lost his mind staring at a door
he kept a picture of it, but he can't see it anymore
talk about the way he looked at me
talk about the way i could never see his eyes
eye's that'll never see again
my brother lost his mind staring at a door
and i looked for it, but it's not there anymore

Glad You're Awake
04:00

I'm so glad you're awake, the sleepless will be counted
i'm so glad you're awake, to turn and face this ghost that haunts us
if we bend, we break, the drums will all stop beating
no more mistakes, watch them choke on all the hearts their eating
and the angels watching me, go to bed watching me
here we go, here we go
the night is over
I'm so glad you're awake, the sleepless will be counted
i'm so glad you're awake, come walk with me come walk with me
and the angels watching me, go to bed watching me
here we go, here we go
the night is over

Vacant
03:54

get too close and i'll let you go, bitch too much and i'll let you know
try your way and it just wont work, smile at me and i'll wipe that smirk
love works you over, sinking naked
weaker and colder, your head is vacant
just shut up and let me be, or i'll find someone just like me
don't wait up for me tonight, or i'll give you an awful fright
love works you over, sinking naked
weaker and colder, your head is vacant
fall for me and i don't care, come near me if you dare
i'll teach you and you will see, i told you to let me be
love works you over, sinking naked
weaker and colder, your head is vacant

Unusual As Usual
05:52
|

|
standing in line at the gallery, holding me up like a tapestry
nothing is said, they stand and stare
watching the life go, begin and end again
i don't believe in what i've done, i don't believe in anyone
but i could be my best if i could be like you
unusual as usual
in the shade of mind possessed, from the lips i've never kissed
words make us liars that dance on wire
and i'm the voice you never had
i don't believe in what i've done, i don't believe in anyone
but i could be my best if i could be like you
unusual as usual
