I have no gift to bring
But I've been down and out
I laugh, I drink
Be rest assured
That I'll be back for more
Decisions at your door

I broke, disgraced

It's not your style to be sad
But all us here just don't know what to do with ourselves
Who needs hair these days?
Supermodels couldn't make sick look good like you did

Ash babe
Ash babe I don't want this to be a sad song
It just comes out that way

We are young
We have years ahead maybe
We might fall in love
Fall apart
Fall apart
Before it ends
Well we should try to start

I'm working hard at breaking down evenly
The sun will set soon enough eventually
So why did we breathe if not to bother
Close to selling out fully and completely

And I know this will come down
I wish that it weren't so
There's always a let down

Would you be so surprised
If I never came down now?
Could I fall so far
Learn to crawl?
Back to the wall
What might you say now?
Again

I am fabulous
You are fabulous
We're all fabulous sarcastic bastards

Thinking of daisy fields
Where nobody really feels
It's all too much fabulous
Don't let it get you down

Turn the bars into cars
And wait for the lights to change
And take shape of people we used to know
'Til they grow less fond of knowing

And we can ride in the night
And discard all the facts on our backs
Remembering the thoughts we thought

I can't tell you what it means
When you are here, I am at ease
I don't blame you when you're gone
For the sadness in my song
That weight is mine alone, that shadow is my own
The coast is never clear
I'll wait for morning though, you will arrive
So we can watch that shadow disappear

for quite some time.

the bottle stench may be here to stay,

but you know,

we had our fun.

Ladies in dresses
Whores in the bedroom
Holy obsessions
Old boys in board rooms
The safety of sure doom
Call it old fashioned (Frightened States Of America)
Call it nostalgia (Universal will to become)
Just call it something we can all die to.

Everything, all the time, everywhere
What to say, where to go?
Best of times, I'm a little unaware
And who's to say? I don't know
But I feel my head overflow
And I was tired at the get go
I don't want to wait around to fall apart
So I will do my part

Baby, I just don't get it
Do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smelled the perfume
The make-up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories
You know that they're all lies
Bad as you are, you stick around
And I just don't know why

A lynchpin
Holds all your eyes to your lids
All your outsides to your ins
It's wavering

And the truth is
You don't know where to begin
All those walls caving in

She might be wearing
A green Chamise
And a hat that she bought
'Cause it matches her jeans

And the water she drinks
Oh it comes from the stream
By the house she might win

let's start a war for the kids
a purpose for which to unite
make them some words they can mince
what they don't know, they won't mind

find them a foe for the fight
and stories to tell as they age
then maybe time will decide

It's almost Christmas
What do I do?
Where do I go?
Don't want to be alone

For all I've said
What do I know?
What do I know?

We drive until the gas is gone
And then walk until our feet are torn
Crawl until we feed the soil
Film the whole thing

It's all business in the left-hand lane
Drive there and then drive back again
Escape can't be the only way to escape

Oh I don't know what you've been told
But I don't get out much these days

Waking young and feeling old
The days are no longer my own,
To piss away the waking hours

But don't, don't don't, don't let them go

You decide to be alone
And hell it's cold enough to hibernate
So let it drift into the snow
It's where she chooses how to operate

Might be time to pack her in
Set the sails and just get hauled away
Maybe east or something

As much as I'd like to go
To places I've never known
Scared shit-less to leave home
And I don't want to go alone

I miss the rewarding gaze
Of a friend from my younger days
Didn't mind 'bout my selfish ways

I thought the suits had come for me
Found alternatives to honesty
Body and soul were bought and sold
Patented and out of reach

So I reach but it hurts, it kills, it screams,
And it fills my heart with chills
And I take my pills

Oh and on the screen my love and trust is making out with other guys
And I drank not enough to make me drunk and just enough to make me tired
And it's too easy to be awful to the ones you need the most
So in the end all I hope is that they know

Ask the bottom from the top and they will tell you that it's lonely too
So find a gun and spin the wheel and try to figure which god you'll choose
It's too easy to be angry at the ones that you don't know

I once found an ocean
Funneled to a river
Kind of made me wonder
Kind of made me shiver

There were monsters
I feared their stares
Searched the basement

Down the road and on the right-hand side
There's a place I sometimes like to dine
Coffee refills far as I can see
I'll be waking
Are you watching me?
Are you watching, are you?
Are you watching?
Or just waiting to see

Downtown Vancouver
Digging through your bag
Ripping out the pages
Of the local music mag

You missed the show last summer
But now you've got your chance
They're playing at The Railway

Was a soldier coming home
Was to bring my body back
Wasn't sure about the darkness
Heart was rambling on like any day
Just like any day

If I was to write
I don't mind, I don't mind

She says the joys of life are lost among the living
So I guess all those souvenirs are for her health
She gives me quarters for the phone
And every time I feel alone I go broke
Yeah I go broke

She says if you're not here at least make sure you miss me
So when I miss her I make sure to let her know
