SHE'S NOT AFRAID
01:38
|

She’s not afraid and she knows why
She’s not afraid and she knows why
Some idiot fuck did her again
but this time ‘round she don’t have to cry
These older boys all playing God
So afraid of losing what they’ve already got
Whether they have whether they have not
She’s not afraid ...
I look around all I see is men
Men, men, men and men
I’m so impressed - "We’ve come a long way baby!"
She’s not afraid and I know why
She’s clearly got his reason why
Nature takes it’s winding course - yea
Looks like it’s his time to cry
She’s not afraid ...

AOK

Every good man’s looking for his girl
To take him far away from all the madness in his world
Someone he can hold on tight to - every day and every night through There to tell him every thing is A. O. K.
So it is for every woman too
To find a man who knows to satisfy her through and through
Someone she hold on tight to - every day and every night through There to tell her every thing is A. O. K.
Everything's AOK
Everyone every day
Everywhere every way
He & She believes
Every good man’s searching all the world
To find that special love of all his one & only girl
Someone he can hold on tight to - every day and every night through There to tell him every thing is A. O. K.
Of course it is for every woman too
A man who knows to guard her well protects her whole life through
Someone she can come on home to every day and every night through
There to tell her every thing is A. O. K.
Everything's AOK ...

PARTY
03:06
|

Everybody’s drunk - conversations all the same
Consciousness is closing up, I wish I never came
Suzy makes a scene , now she’s crying with her friends
Bobby’s acting mean once again
Everybody’s drunk - no one’s making heads or tails
Putting on a happy face while hiding in their shells
Lana acts insane - excuses never end
While Rodney blows his brains out once again
Oh no one will remember no they won’t recall a thing
The time that it may take for them to wake up the next morning
Check out Sandy Baker watch her crawl across the floor
Everybody’s laughing as they offer her some more
And is that Johnny Joe-Joe making everybody laugh
Watch him falling over as he pours another glass
Oh well no-no one will remember no they won’t recall a thing
The time that it may take for them to make up the next morning
Everybody’s fucked - the joke has long gone stale
Acting like they’re man enough while tucking in their tails
Penny hides inside with a double shit eating grin
Tommy’s bumped his head bad once again
Well now aren’t we in the business? Yea we’ve bought a t-shirt too
It’s just there’s no more profit in this so what’s there left to do?
No one will remember you know they won’t recall a thing
What difference does it make when they awake?
What difference does it make when they awake?
What difference does it make... when they awake, to make up the next morning?

ONE HOPELESS ROMANTIC
03:58
|
|||
I’m hopeless - romance is against me I’m sure
I meet pretty faces but can’t find the words
Slap my face I turn the other cheek
I lie alone and cry myself to sleep
Well I’m a hopeless romantic yea when will I learn?
My heart won’t stop pounding - I’m getting concerned
If I come on strong I scare them half to death
Play the sensitive we’re friends at best
So I go to the doctor and this is what he said
You need far more exercise ... in bed
If I don’t cut my wrists I’ll cut my throat
How can I go on living without hope?
It’s hopeless …
It’s hopeless …
Well I’m a hopeless romantic

I ECHO YOU
03:21
|
|||
I echo you... (echo, echo, echo...) reverberations
Views without face
Words without voices in my head
I echo you... (echo, echo, echo...) reverberations
Acting as though you wanted
Fingers tap into static noise
I echo you... (echo, echo, echo...) reverberations
Surfing for a truth
Reverberating through now
Bouncing back and fourth inside you
I echo you... (echo, echo, echo...) reverberations

ALL EARS

No one listens like you do
24/7 with a mouth sewn shut
They can’t wait but you do
Everyone’s life story ‘cause you care that much
Bla-bla-bla with a Ha-ha-ha and the jokes on you
Your turn now but they’ve had their peace
No one listens like you do
On & on motor mouths won’t shut
No one knows better than you do
If it’s their business they won’t stop
Bla-bla-bla with a Ha-ha-ha and the jokes on you
Your turn now but they’ve had their peace so they're through with you
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Bla-bla ... Ha-ha
Whoa!!
No one listens like you do
24/7 with a mouth sewn shut
They can’t wait but you do
Everyone’s life story ‘cause you care that much
Bla-bla-bla with a Ha-ha-ha and the jokes on you
Your turn now but they’ve had their peace

HAPPY LEAP YEAR
03:25
|
|||
Feeling sick - Nothing left
Wandering aimlessly out in the rain
Want’s to 'kick' - Rid all the emptiness
Whistling hollow flash through the vein
So pass-say - Nothing new
So sick of me - So sick of you
Won’t give up - Won’t give in
Pretty pretty sirens in waiting
Fast to sleep - Slow to wake
Wondering how it ever got this way
Lost to friends - Ain’t friends anyway
Years and years wasted wasting away
Happy Leap Year - Oh happy day
How is it different when it’s always this way?
A tip of the hat, a tip of the glass
Here’s to the future pray please no more ...
Nothing comes up - Nothing stays down
Hard pill to swallow here last time around
Happy Leap Year - Oh happy day
How is it different when it’s always this way?
Happy Leap Year - Oh happy day
How is it different when it’s always the same?
Always the same...
Always the same...

Don’t make it up for me - Try cater to my whims
You entertain my thoughts
As if I’ve nothing else but to bastardize everything I am
A lie that feeds it’s face forever vomits blood
Every excuse you make just digs a deeper hole
For you to act as if you really give a fuck
If all the world caves in you’ll brush it off your hands
And say you’re sorry once and then you’ll flip it off
As you turn your back because you know you can
The man I shot and killed
Now hangs in every frame
And flickers in my 'window well'
I’m counting back the days
So I turn it off and I wonder why
Everybody seems content to live this way
So obvious and so satisfied
I wanna split my gear I wanna shock them cold
I wanna blow their names deadlock ‘em down tight
I strip their threads and shove ‘em down their throats
So bloody buddy
Think I don’t understand?
Sell me what you owe as if I
Couldn’t think of that on my own without it in my plans
The man I shot and killed
Now hangs in every frame
And flickers in my 'window well'
I’m counting back the days

MOAT
03:29

From me to me
Leave a message to myself speaking clearly in the phone
So safe inside
A reminder to myself I spend too much time at home
Busy busy busy with myself
Feeling so important here hanging from my shelf
From me to me
There’s a message in my head thirty seconds to the tone
I rest my case
Watch it spin it’s ugly web as I hurry my way home
Busy busy busy with myself
Feeling so important here hanging from my shelf
Busy busy busy with myself
Does it really make a difference if it’s me or someone else?
Conversation’s stuck on the inside
I can hear the words but my tongues tied
And I’m thinking out of turn - small talk never learned inside
Busy busy busy with myself
Feeling so important here hanging from my shelf
Busy busy busy with myself
Does it really make a difference if it’s me or someone else?
Conversation’s stuck on the inside
I can hear the words but my tongues tied
And I’m thinking out of turn - small talk never learned inside
REPEAT
Busy busy busy with myself
Feeling so important here hanging from my shelf
Busy busy busy with myself
Does it really make a difference if it’s me or someone else?
REPEAT

SOFTLY INTO STONE
02:40
|
|||
Turn softly into stone
Turn softly in…
I can see memories fading on their own
Slipping each from out my hands leaves me to stand alone
Turn softly into stone
Turn softly in…
I can see the future be for me to tag along
Blind to all now empty handed stranded on my own
Turn softly into stone
Turn softly in…
I can see you & me dividing down the road
You can take the high one there and I’ll drive on down the low
Turn softly into stone
(REPEAT)

PURE ASSHOLES
03:12
|
|||
I won’t mention names
That’s not my problem
That’s their game and I won't play
It’s not my job to stop ‘em
‘Cause when there’s nothing left to say
Then I got nothing on ‘em
I’m not gonna buy my way
The time it takes to waste the time
it costs to live that way
And with no balls of their own
Need to stretch the lives of those around
To satisfy their own
I could raise my voice but I won’t
Like to think they’d change but they don’t know
I won’t raise my hand
Here with questions of my own
Don’t need to understand
No I won’t lift a finger
Why bother for them?
When it’s they that stand alone?
So take advantage of friends
To give your life more meaning
At everyone’s expense
Lying, deceiving
To justify the dead
die-rection that you’re heading in
Give my regards this ways away
Send ‘em on their merry, merry, merry, merry, way
REPEAT

NEXT WORLD
03:08
|
|||
Half way into the next world
I might die trying
I'm not making it up
I feel like dying down
I won't hear you talking
I won't see you walking around
I won't feel, smell or taste the world around me clocking out somehow
Senses working at half speed
Ready -Get Set-Go (Right!)
Half way into the next world
Afraid I'm losing hold...
