1. UNTITLED

Surprise, sometimes, will come around
Surprise, sometimes, will come around
I will surprise you sometime
I'll come around
Oh, I will surprise you sometime
I'll come around when you're down



2. OBSTACLE 1

I wish i could eat the salt off your last faded lips
We can cap the old times make playing only logical harm
We can top the old lines clay-making that nothing else will change
But she can read, she can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad
Oh, she's bad
It's different now that I'm poor and aging, I'll never see this face again
You go stabbing yourself in the neck
It's different now that I'm poor and aging, and I'll never see this place again
And you go stabbing yourself in the neck
We can find new ways of living make playing only logical harm
And we can top the old times, clay-making that nothing else will change
But she can read, she can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad
Oh, she's bad
It's in the way that she posed
it's in the things that she puts in my head
Her stories are boring and stuff
She's always calling my bluff
She puts the weights into my little heart
And she gets in my room and she takes it apart
She puts the weights into my little heart
I said she puts the weights into my little heart
She packs it away
It's in the way that she walks
Her heaven is never enough
She puts the weights in my heart
She puts, oh she puts the weights into my little heart



3. NYC

I had seven faces
Thought I knew which one to wear
But I'm sick of spending these lonely nights
Training myself not to care
The subway is a porno
The pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed but
New York cares
Got to be some more change in my life
The subway she is a porno
The pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed
It is up to me now, turn on the bright lights



4. PDA

Yours is the only version of my desertion that I could ever subscribe to
That is all that I can do
You are a past sinner, the last winner, I'm reaping all around me
Until the last drop is behind you
But you're so cute when you're frustrated, dear
Yeah, you're so cute when you're sedated, oh dear
Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight
You are the only person who's completely certain there's nothing here to be into
That is all that you can do
You are a past sinner, the last winner, and everything we've come to makes you
But you cannot safely say that while I will be away, you will not consider sadly
How you helped me to stray
And you will not reach me I am resenting a position that's past resentment and now
I can't consider, and now there is this distance
Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you can
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight
Sleep tonight



5. SAY HELLO TO THE ANGELS

I want your silent parts
The parts the birds love
I know there's such a place
I had my back turned
You didn't realize
I'm lonely
You lack the things
To which I relate
But I see no harm
Come wait, come wait, come wait
It's over
One, two, three, do me
When I'm feeling lazy, it's probably because,
I'm saving all my energy to pick up when you move into my airspace
You move into my airspace
And something's coming over me, I see you in the doorway
I can't control the part of me that swells up when you move into my airspace
You move into my airspace
But each night, I bury my love around you
You're linked to my innocence
This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn't no intervention
This isn't you yet
What you thought was such a conquest
You're hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby you're really the best
Can I get there this way
I think so
We should take a trip now to see new places
I'm sick of this town
I see my face has changed
Say hello, say hello, to the angels



6. HANDS AWAY

Will you put my hands away
Will you be my man
Serve it up, don't wait
Let's see about this hand
Oh, what happened
Home spun desperation's knowing
Inside your cover's always blown



7. OBSTACLE 2

I'm gonna pull you in close
I'm gonna wrap you up tight
I'm gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face, and toast the snow that fell
Because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell
I feel like love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye
I think he's making something special
And I'm smart enough to try
If you don't trust yourself for at least one minute each day
Well you should trust in this, girl, cause loving is coming our way
If you can fix me up we'll go a long way
If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long way
Take my love in real small doses
I will stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
It takes a long time just to get this all straight.
I'll showcase on Route 7 when I find the right place
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
In my mind, this is my free-time
Because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell.
Take my love in real small doses
I will stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
But I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way
I'll showcase on Route 7 when I find the right place
But it takes a long time just to get this all straight
In my mind, this is my free time
To let it all away
Spend it all today
Spend it all today
It took time then I found you



8. STELLA WAS A DIVER AND SHE WAS ALWAYS DOWN

When she walks down the street
She knows there's people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her
But she once fell through the street
Down a manhole in that bad way
The underground drip
Was just like her scuba days
Days
Daze
Days
Daze
She was all right because the sea was so airtight, she broke away
She is all right but she can't come out tonight, she broke away
She was all right, yeah the sea was so tight, air tight
She broke away, broke away
At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
From crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells
Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella I love you
Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
She went down down down there into the sea,
Yeah she went down down down there, down there for me, right on
So good, oh yeah, right on
There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Try detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye



9. ROLAND

My best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
He carries them all over the town at least he tries
Oh look it stopped snowing
My best friend's from Poland and, um, he has a beard
But they caught him with his case in that public place
That is what we had feared
He severed segments secretly you like that
He always took the time to speak with me
I liked him for that
He severed segments so secretly you like that
He always took the time, he always took the time
My best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives
He carries them all over the town at least he tries
Oh look it stopped snowing
My best friend's from Poland and, um, he has a beard
But they caught him with his case in that public place
That is what we had feared
He severed segments secretly you like that
He always took the time to speak with me
I liked him for that
He severed segments so secretly you like that
He was growing on me
He was growing on me



10. THE NEW

I wish I could live free
Hope it's not beyond me
Settling down takes time
One day we'll live together
And life will be better
I have it here, yeah, in my mind
Baby, you know someday you'll slow
And baby, my hearts been breaking
I gave a lot to you
I take a lot from you too
You slave a lot for me
Guess you could say I gave you my edge
But I can't pretend I don't need to defend some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time lying
You're looking all right tonight
I think we should go



11. LEIF ERIKSON

She says It helps with the lights out
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night
She swears I'm a slave to the details
But if your life is such a big joke, why should I care
The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight
So that you two can take some time, teach each other to reciprocate
She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox
She swears I'm just prey to the female
Well then hook me up and throw me, baby cakes, ‘cause I like to get hooked
The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight
All the people that you've loved they're all bound to leave some keepsakes
I've been swinging all the time, think it's time to learn your way
I picture you and me together in the jungle it will be ok
I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
That is supposing you don't sleep tonight
It's like learning a new language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you don't bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
You come here to me
We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down
You come here to me
She says brief things, her love's a pony
My love's subliminal
