A Girl, A Smoke | download mp3
A girl, a smoke, a dirty joke
I knew the moment that she spoke I'd
outlived my time
A year, a night, a get well card
A book of dirty poetry
Forgetting me can't be that hard
Yet why do I always fall for your same lines
And why do I never laugh at the right time
And if I've really been here before
How do I fuck it up the same way every time
A boy, a scar, a photograph
When I'm alone I think some day I'll
Write you a letter
I'll say
"I'm truly sorry
To be clearly disappointing
Up close
And off stage"
Yet why do I always fall for your same lines
And why do I never laugh at the right time
And if we've really been here before
And yes I think we've been here before
Yes I think we've been here before
And I fear we've been here before and.
I think it's like a disease
I fear it's like a disease
I dream it's like a disease
The way that we come back asking for more

Amsterdam
you've been to amsterdam
and understand history
you understand every book that you've ever read
but you only hear noise when you're talking to me
you've been to amsterdam
and understand symphonies
you know so much trivia
but you don't know me at all
so fly to amsterdam
& talk about history
& talk about books you've read
& never talk to me again
go visit amsterdam
& listen to symphonies
& look back on your life
skip the part about me
you can stay in amsterdam

One More Show | download mp3
one more show
one for the road
so when they bury you on mommy's birthday I won't
cry one more show
one for the road
so when they bury you on mommy's birthday I won't cry

A Pigeon Named Crow | download mp3
smile now the flies are coming
and when they are gone you'll miss them
creeping in and out the windows
landing on you as you're sleeping
amateur magicians casting spells to bring back souls forgotten
no one stirs here but a pigeon
named crow
well pretty little girls do often grow up
to be vicious liars
happy little smiling thieves
always in their sunday best
living in a traveling show
that maps it's routes
but travels no where
no one stirs here but a pigeon
named crow
a pigeon named crow

Pretty Faces | download mp3
pretty faces are a dime a dozen
pretty souls are always for sale
pretty people are so devoid of substance
when you kiss them
there's nothing there
I've been thinking those thoughts
thoughts worth a penny or two
and I would pay a dime to do
what pretty faces want me to
all the evils that good mothers warn of
have never done me harm
it's those pretty little boys and pretty little girls
who lure me in with irresistible charm
I've been thinking those thoughts
thoughts worth a penny or two
I'd pay a dime to do
what pretty faces want me to
And I've been thinking about
what the pretty faces have
talked me into
not fun to wake up with yourself
but it's awfully fun to do

Sometimes Sunshine | download mp3
Sometimes Sunshine I think you're happy
With an ounce of prevention and a pound of cure
I think your memory's quite selective
When recalling what I came here for
Sometimes, Sunshine
So let me see what's up your sleeve
And I'll let you see what's behind my back
'Cause I thought we were on the same side, Sunshine
And that you'd make for all the things I lack
Sometimes, Sunshine
Sometimes, Sunshine you look right through me
And now it happens far too much
That you're dreaming vividly in color
And I'm wide awake so our worlds never really touch
Sometimes, Sunshine
I live in a world where good intention
And prevention don't connect the way they should
And I need a pound of cure
To compensate for what prevention cannot restore

Sound of Girls | download mp3
what's the sound of girls
they shatter and they leave you lonely
your memory is now your only
way to hear that sound
where to find the girls
they broke & you were not invited
I know that you are feeling slighted
now you slowly break alone
and that's the sound of girls
that's the sound of girls breaking
that's the sound you make
as you take
home remains of what was
girls
what's the sound of girls
it's something that you can't hear clearly
despite yourself you love it dearly
you no longer sleep at night
where to find the sound
the silence that we're breaking
the girls they say they're making
sound we cannot hear
and that's the sound of girls
that's the sound of girls breaking
that'd the sound you make
as you take
home remains of what was
girls
and I couldn't have stopped it if I'd tried
girls break so slowly
they leave you lonely
without
a sound
