P r e t t y .

daylight. theres so much for you to see.
breezy shadows cover me, take me down.
this morning I'm further than ive ever been,
sometimes I just like to breathe if it cleans me out.

alice drop-dead-beauty wonderland,
holy water fresh on hand, show me around.
come in folded wings and open arms.
better than I've ever had, take me out.

pretty, where have you been?
seems like you've been gone.
and I'm missing the way you had me feeling
when i'd wake up next to you.

come in sandy skin and tired eyes,
yeah come and crashing over me, sing it out.
alice, come sit in the tree with me.
yeah you give me better days than I've ever known.

this morning I'm in the air, the atmosphere
breathing down my back again, moving through my bones.
daylight, so much we could see right now,
we'll be better off if we just get up and go.

pretty, where have you been?
seems like you've been gone.
and I'm missing the way you had me feeling
when I'd wake up next to you.

you're pretty when you're in the mood,
pretty when you're in the mood..
you're pretty when you're in the mood,
you're pretty..

L a p s e .

day dreaming..
dead but dreaming.
the fear immobilizes me.
I dont know what i see.

stop moving
stop breathing
stop screaming
stop watching me.
the fear immobilizes me.
I dont know what i hear.

good bye.
the sun is coming up.
good bye.
the sun is coming up.

no vision..
look through a screen.
the fear immobilizes me.
I dont want to see.

stop moving
stop breathing
stop screaming
stop haunting me.
the fear immobilizes me.
I dont want to hear.

good bye.
the sun is coming up.
good bye.
the sun is coming up.

I'm going back to sleep.
good bye.
nothing is gonna stop this thing.

looking my little girl in the eye
just one thing keeps running through my mind.
summertime..
you let me down
you let me down real slow.

ooh..
she's a stoned fox.
she's a star.. yeah.

she's the face of 1966
and the way she blinks would make you think
she knows some tricks.
in the summertime..
i let you down
i let you down real slow.

ooh..
she's a stoned fox.
she's a star.. yeah.

and that ferris wheel was callling
when i laid my eyes on you.
I never knew my heart could beat so slow.
and that world just keeps on turning
when I spend my time with you.
take my hand and lead me to the show.

ooh..
she's a stoned fox.
she's a star.. yeah.



B i r d s .

I'm an exhausted bird
caught in the breeze.
pushing forward's been pulling me back
all my life.

packing the things that I made
cause this place makes me feel
like I'm caught in a tornado.

it's over, now how do I stand
out on my own?
I've been here inside a sleeping volcano
all my life.

and there's nowhere to go
without thinking of you.
my friends make me feel
I was caught up in a rainstorm
all my life.

..all my life.



P o l a r o i d .

my wall of polaroids says
rewrite my life using only my eyes.
it's not so simple here.
everyone plows different fields.

oh no, oh no.
not too long ago
I knew where I would go from here.

my day gets that much worse
when I light the wrong end of my last cigarette.
it's just a waste of air.
relight my life using only my lies.

oh no.
not too long ago
I knew my way around.
oh no, oh no.
oh no not too long ago
I knew my way around the bend.

your busted radio plays
relight my life using only your eyes.
I drove right past your field but
I dont stop and you dont need to know.

oh no.
not too long ago
I knew my way around your head
oh no.
oh no not too long ago
I knew where I would go from here.

F o s s i l s & B o n e s .

I could see it coming.
coming down on me like a wall.
I could see it coming.
coming down like a waterfall.
I could see it coming.
coming down like a meteor.
I could see it coming.
looks like the end of the dinosaurs.

65 million years
I left you in the dust.
miles of rock and piles of bones
between the two of us.

I could see it coming.
coming down like a meteor now.
you could see me standing
you could see me standing on your shore.

65 million years
I left you in the dust.
miles of rock and piles of bones
between the two of us.





P h e n o m e n o n .

Stars often seem so far apart,
but in the grand scheme of things they are
no more deep than the space
between you and me.
Love sometimes feels like a stranger's dream,
never to be revealed till one day
you open your eyes and all along,
it was well within your reach.

Did you know we're not so far apart?
Let it lighten up your heavy heart.
Life is a passing phenomenon.
Somehow I know this..
and still it eludes me.

Hell was not built to hold our hearts,
only to scare us away to the light.
To embrace these mysteries,
to witness all of these sights.
As death, like the fading day turning into night
carries us away from the cradle of life..

we're not so far apart.
Let it lighten up your heavy heart.
Life is a fascinating phenomenon.
Somehow I know this..
and still it eludes me. Still it eludes me.

Time may slow down, like a thirsty stream,
though it still flows to the sea
like the blood lining your veins with the morning breeze
that floats through the lungs of the trees.
While the earth, cradled in the arms of the galaxy,
carries us through the dark, where eternity
looms like a lonely pup waits so patiently
for the homecoming dance with us entities..

we're not so far apart.
Let it lighten up your oh so heavy heart.
Life is a fascinating phenomenon.
Somehow I know this..
and still it eludes me. Still it eludes me. Still it eludes me.

W h a t A r e W e , P i r a t e s ?

I got treasure maps
that a dead man wrote.
and I picked them up
when I cut his throat.
and I can't be
the way I be
anywhere but the open sea.

I lost one long leg
when I climb de rope
and then I lost my peg
when I smoke de dope.
and I dare you
find a better crew
anywhere on the open sea.

what are we, pirates?
yes, we are.
what are we, pirates?
yes, we are.
what are we, pirates?
yes, we are, we are.

and so's my sword.
and I'll throw your whole crew
overboard.
and I can't be
the way I be
anywhere but the open sea.

and I'll take yah life
don't need no gun.
cause I walk the plank
buddy just for fun
and i dare you
find a better crew
anywhere on the open sea.

what are we, pirates?
yes, we are.
what are we, pirates?
yes, we are.
what are we, pirates?
yes, we are, we are.



P l a n k s p a n k e r

One morning you wake up beside me
head resting on my chest, your fingers in my hair.
roll over, tell me that you love me.
girl you're so beautiful I cannot help but stare.
and I said oh.. yeah..
oh, yeah..

One day I found my pretty baby
left me standing in the rain once again, but thats okay
cause one day I'll walk by playing my guitar, honey.
one day not long from now I will forget her name.
and I said oh.. yeah..

Baby hold me like you hold those chords..

I'm gonna treat ya oh so sweetly
won't let anybody do you no harm woman.
and when you wrap your arms around me
I'm gonna hold you like I held my first guitar.
and I said oh.. yeah..

Well late one night that music's bumpin'
our hearts are pumpin' like a bass drum on the floor.
late one night our bodies bumpin' baby..
our bodies bumpin' and you're beggin' me for more.
and I said oh.. yeah..
