I'm serving 12 to 15, working the coffee machine
I've got a license to fly underneath the radar
She's about 50 feet north, 'As Seen On TV' store
I know she's gonna tune me in sooner or later

With my medication, I will be fine
With my medication, I will be fine
With my medication, I will be, I will be fine

Sign your name without apology, sign on, sign on
Keep your eye on the economy, sign on, shine on

And everybody knows that this is nowhere
Everybody knows that this is nowhere, nowhere

But you`ve got to be here
Yes you`ve got to be right there

You were an innocent child before I laid my hands on you
And all that pain that you held inside
Was just waiting to bloom in a darkened room
And you just flew right into the light and came alive
My little butterfly

Well you'd never known love and you'd never known pain
But you found out that they were just like wine and champagne

When you're nothing to no one
And you're less than you can
And you're looking for someone
Who won't cling to anything
So you're stuck in some motel
With the sound of her sleeping
Don't you feel kinda old now
Well ain't that a funny thing

i want to take you down to the side of the city
where the sun doesn't shine and the moon isn't pretty
the slow train crawls in the nights and the days
are as warm as the smoke and the heat haze
yes and neon here twenty-four hours of the day
and you're sure looking pretty when it's hitting on your face
looker on the corner take that dog for a donor
well she's only doing what her mother told her

I took 15 years
To break your spell
I loved you then
I love you still
I wake up cold
I wake up wet
My body weak
My mind is spent

Lay your head upon my shoulder
Let it rest there for a while
I guess that i`m still good for something
Once in a while

And if you need someone to talk to
Just give a call i`ll be around
And if you want me to avoid you

I hear the leaf
Fall
I hear the stars
I hear them all
Down
Deep down beneath
I hear Leviticus
And Deuteronomy

You up and leave me cold turkey
When you know I could not tie my own shoe
This does not please me, no not exactly
Guess you do not give a damn for my love

Everybody knows that she's worse than religion
No you do not cross a woman in love
Everybody knows that the turn of the season

Mostly, I
Mostly I prefer to live in the future
In the future

I’m here and now
But I’m not really here in the moment
In the moment

Your skin gossamer thin
The light passes through
No more out of you
Your eyes, dug deeper in your brow
Look only inward now
And your glory
With each passing storey
The more glorious

Rather than you, she said
I prefer solitude
Rather the company
I prefer cigarrettes

Suppose I told you everything I know
And it adds up to less than you already know
Well, I wont mind if you think Im lazy
I wont care if you find me insincere
Because its the best that I can do
Come on, take my hand, it may be cold outside
But weve got
Walking with the junkies and the millionaires

I can’t be trusted with your money
Look what I did
Every time that you gave it to me
I can’t be trusted with your secrets
Look what I did
Every time that you gave them to me
Oh you can trust me with your sorrow
And you can trust me with your pain

Strange to see you, babe
Ain't nothing down here free
Did you lose your ticket?
Hope you weren't looking for me
Now I'm still wearing the scars I got from being your fool
You messed me up pretty good, babe
I didn't mean to rule you
Remember when I first saw you, babe

Now we’re alone
What are we to do
In all this space and time?
No weight below
So how are we to stay?
And not just float away
Above the city
Where the young ones raise their glasses in the air

The more I learn the less I know
Could you make mine straight absolute?
The more I fail the less I try
Ask not of me the reason why

Oh, my Sentimental Fool
Have I got a tale for you
Oh, my Sentimental Fool

Even though the skies are blue
Don't we let the sun shine through
Because he is a jerk I guess
Does that make him love you less

Could you forgive that boy
Could you find some part of your aching heart
To forgive that boy

In the afterlife
In the afternoon
Wafer thin after mints
In the afterlife
In the afternoon
In safari suit

At the aftershow

I know that I’m not doing great
But you’re almost translucent
You’ve taken it all too far and it was beautiful
The spirit in your swimming pool
Man, she’s got it in for you
Cherry might just drive on by
Next time you’re turning blue
We’ll move to Berlin

No need to raise your voice
I’m here
I’m with you

No need to scream and shout
I’m here
I’m listening

There's nothing to see
There's no way of knowing
If we're coming or going
There's no way to know
We walk through the door
Are we in, are we out now?
Do we twist, do we shout, now?
There's no way to know

If it's good for me
And it's good for you
Won't you stay with me
And I will stay with you, baby

Do you ever wonder
'Bout the way you move
You know what it does to me

The missile leaves the car
Flies through the window pane
The mother and the child
Flee the ball of flame
And then we hear the siren song
Again, again, again
So we put on our headphones
And complete our retreat

We got dead television pyres
Scraping up to the sky
Monuments to our ingenuity
We got our mojo working
We got kerosene working
Behold the fruits of our industry
Behold the crystal night
Become the crystal day

If every lover that you'd ever known
Could turn around would you take one
Or would you really rather be alone
And full of wrath and when you might please
Well I don't know babe if you ever have been told
But you're a tough one to play for
I tried to be what you were looking for
Now I'm not sure if you ever really knew

The air was heavy with a whore’s perfume
When I came down from the mountain
Our sleepy hollow was a fetid lagoon
When I came down from the mountain
The tablets were heavy, sure but I’m stronger now
And I’m free
Free of all base instinct

We tired of the mountain
The forest and stream
We’d heard of your cities
And your hot children
We danced to your disco
And your boogaloo
Ah ooh
We came to be near you

Every day the same as every day before
Every port the same in every storm
Every love as lovely as the love before
Every teardrop’s ripple – perfect form
Every second longer than the one before
Every heartbeat later than the last
The moment for this motion is still yet to come
The minutes of this meeting – in the past
