Travelling, swallowing Dramamine Feeling spaced, breathing out Listerine I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya And that you'd killed the better part of me If you could just milk it for everything I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean But I still can't focus on anything We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves Travelling, swallowing Dramamine Look at your face like you're killed in a dream And you think you've figured out everything I think I know my geography pretty damn well You say what you need so you'll get more If you could just milk it for everything I've said what I said and you know what I mean But I can't still focus on anything

Their custom concern for the people Build up the monuments and steeples To wear out our eyes I get up just about noon My head sends a message for me To reach for my shoes then walk Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta get a job Goes through the parking lot fields Doesn't see no signs that they will yield And then thought, this'll never end This'll never end, this'll never stop Message read on the bathroom wall Says, "I don't feel at all like I fall." And we're losing all touch, losing all touch Building a desert
I might and you might But neither of us do, though And neither of us will I broke every bone in my goddamn jaw That's a lot it's the last one I ever got I might and you might But neither of us do, though And neither of us will Yesterday night I broke every bone in my jaw Thought so hard, it's the last thing I ever thought
He don't remember how it got there He had a number written on his forearm It spelled disaster He entered the club scene All hoping, all hoping for dancing He was looking, a'looking so stunning His clothes reflected light, all right She sat, she sat in the backseat The car was plush but had no hea And no, not no one was blushing Their technique was so damn right, all right And he read the note in the black light He thought he read minds and was not right That line still made him seem charming His clothes were shining, shining
"Wow!" said the broken Californian down On the beach that used to be by the beach Town hasn't moved but's getting closer, losing ground Making better views and close relaxing sounds Ground sure don't like the way it's treated so now It's moving back to the sea Plan to hitch a ride with the river Cause deep down plumbing life is too cramped for me I got wood legs and bow legs and no legs at all Goddamn! Would you accept a collect call? Oh no, I don't understand I got sore eyes and poor eyes and no eyes at all Goddamn! Would you like to take a fall? No I don't like this plan It was a staple of brass tacks and waxed backs A memo left on the forehead of God Sent sealed and signed by the saints who sang this song: "We're going union like they say We'll buy the congregation Then one day, you'll find us sitting In your chairs with big ideas of stocks and shares"
She ionizes and atomizes Then turns to sunlight He realizes and itemizes Pulls harder than gravity She ionizes and atomizes Then turns to sunlight Flourescent lightbulbs will make An absense of dark, but The light just aint there still and she said "I'm feeling empty, The real lights can make you heavy but Never ever really empty Flourescent lights will always equal empty.
A surf rock band from the land of plenty Surf rock bands with no surf just pine trees Struck by being ashamed of your old space, just wanting that mean heat You bleached your hair and you pawned your skis And then you sold out for the shade of the palm tree scene And said, "Oh what a drag, oh what a backwards scheme 'Cuz here things go from grey to grey and back to grey again And they get green and go to grey and back to grey again" So he said, Head South, head South, head South, head South Head South, head South, head South, head South Head South, head South, head South, head South Head South, head South, head South, head South Struck by being ashamed of your old space, just wanting that mean heat You bleached your hair and you pawned your skis And then you sold out for the shape of the palm tree scene Surrounded, cut off jeans and cut off jeans are what you mean When you say, Head South, head South, head South, head South Head South, head South, head South, head South Head South, head South, head South, head South
I'm down on the water (I'm down on the water) I don't know so I don't bother (I don't know so I don't bother) Looking out the window of my dad's old Chevy (Lookin' out the window of my dad's old Chevy) Eats a lot of gas 'cause it's that more heavy (Eats a lot of gas 'cause it's that more heavy) I'm down on the county line and (We're all down on the county line) We're all screamin' Carolina (We're all screamin' Carolina) I'm down on the water (I'm down on the water) We don't like what we just saw but (We don't like what we just saw but) I can't swim so I dog paddle (I can't swim so I dog paddle) I can't swim so I dog paddle I eat ketchup and burger inside it feels like murder I can't swim so I dog paddle I can't swim so I dog paddle I'm down on the water (I'm down on the water) I don't know so I don't bother (We don't got no meat to swallow) Lookin' out the window of my dad's old Chevy (I can't swim so I dog paddle) Eats a lot of gas 'cause it's that more heavy ([Unverified] inside it feels like murder) I'm down on the county line and We're all singin Carolina (I can't swim so I dog paddle) (I can't swim so I dog paddle) We're down on the county line again We're all screaming Caroline again What you say and what you want again You can't get it 'cause you don't get it no (I'm down on the water)
Every sick, fickle fucker Childhood's what makes ya 'Til they treat ya like tundra Weigh those opinions More like air than lead Every planned occupation Surefire disappointment up ahead 'Til they treat ya like desert See mirages of friendship, face turns read Here's the soon to be anchor Build bridges to nothing, you'll get nowhere Every governor's mother knows That their bread is buttered by Sam And what about science? they find proof and let you make your own decisions Every childstar wonders If they have a future up ahead Every kindhearted banker I don't think there is one Every winning opinion Stand on platforms in water Filling jars full of silence you'll get nowhere
Took a bus straight to Baltimore On the way he took a nap Dropped off a note that said "I'm giving this note back" PS- There's a lot going on underneath There's roots there's pipes, there's drainage leaks You're on, you're wrong, Ohio Truly sorry, I see clearly Calmly crashing, I pace faster than anyone Hinges rusting, they swing louder than anything Truly lonely this place is flatter than it seems I'm upset and I leave the doors wide open Our hearts are used up, cracked and dry Pulled the scabs off of regrets We haven't learned to read our conscience yet Truly sorry, I see clearly Hardy hoping, I spend it all on game machines Calmly crashing, I pace and I figure out again One hand clapping, awake but napping Rows of lights to illuminate lines Why don't they turn them off and let us see night Drove crazed grooming my lies You can't look in on one way eyes, Ohio
Does not exist Take an exit I hear voices insinuating Feeds me lyrics to this song that I am saying Sunlight, 7: 20 PM, early September Standing looking at a photograph that you do not remember being taken You look out of breath, and me like I am faking As a matter of fact I don't recall this photo being taken You don't even actually exist So I just started shaking Does not exist Take an exit
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight Looking kind of anxious in your cross armed stance Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance And I claim I'm not excited with my life any more So I blame this town, this job, these friends The truth is it's myself And I'm trying to understand myself And pinpoint where I am By the time I get things figured out I've change the whole damn plan Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight Talking shit about a pretty sunset Blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret soon I've changed my mind so much I can't even trust it My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself
And I said you shouldn't make facts out of opinions He said that I was right You're right I knew that I was And I'd hate to see anybody thank you But I'd like to see you fail saying thank you though(?) I'm not sure who I am I'm not sure who I am but I know who I've been And I said you can't make everybody happy He said you'd like to at least make yourself happy though I'm not sure who I am I'm not sure who I am but I know who I've been
Won herself a pass to some far off moon It was second class but what's to lose? And looking out her window she could more than assume You can't see air or time She's the only rocketeer in the whole damn place They gave her a mirror so she could talk to a face She still got plenty lonely but that's just the case With time, time, time Started hearing voices sometime in June She knew she could go crazy but didn't think that soon Now she doesn't feel lonely but she'd just as soon Try, try, try Man shot to the moon I bought a paperback and want to go real soon I'm shot to the moon Been here a half an hour and wanna go home soon
From the top of the ocean, yeah From the bottom of the sky, goddamn Well I get claustrophobic I can you know that I can From the top of the ocean, yeah From the bottom of the sky, goddamn Well I get claustrophobic I can you know that I can And he said "I am not allowed much danger Keep in line you're an old friend stranger You'll burn me in effigy and I'll burn you in effigy" A rattle snake up in Buffalo Montana He bit the leg of the old sheriff Ha that boy fell down on his harelip -ow! Ow! Well I I, might be wrong But you you tag along And we we all been wronged And I get dizzier by the mile Said hell the money's spent Went to the county line and paid the rent said "uh-oh" I said "uh-oh" Oh if you could compact your conscience Oh and you might Oh if you could bottle and sell it you might have done Oh and you might Oh if you could compact your conscience And sell it save it for another time You know you might have to use it And the televisions gone Go to the grocery store, buy some new friends And find out the beginning, the end, and the best of it Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive? Here's the man with teeth like god's shoeshine He sparkles shimmers shines Let's all have another Orange Julius Thick syrup standing in lines The malls are the soon to be ghost towns Well so long, farewell, goodbye Take 'em all for the long ride And you'll go around town No one wants to be uptight anymore You can be ashamed Or be so proud of what you've done But not no one, not now, not ever or anyone Take 'em all for the sense of happiness That comes from hurting deep down inside Or you could add it up and give a shit, give a shit Go to the family doctor It's all worth it, all worth it All, all wrong, and it's all, all gone Or you could add it up and give a shit, give a shit I'm on the corner of this and this and this and this All, all wrong, and it's all, all wrong Here's the man with teeth like God's shoeshine He sparkles, shimmers, shines Let's all have another Orange Julius Thick syrup standing in lines The malls are the soon-to-be ghost towns Well, so long, farewell, goodbye And the telephone goes off Pick the receiver up, try to meet ends And find out the beginning, the end and the best of it Oh my, God damn! Take 'em all for the long ride And you'll go around town no one wants to be uptight anymore You could be ashamed or be so proud of what you've done But not no one, not now, not ever or anyone

This song is also known as the older name: "Your Life" Everyone's afraid of their own life If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? No one really knows the ones they love If you knew everything they thought I bet you'd wish that they'd just shut up Well you were the dull sound of sharp math when you were alive No one's gonna play the harp when you die And if I had a nickel for every damn dime I'd have half the time, do you mind? Everyone's afraid of their own lives If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? Am I right, am I right, am I right? Am I right, am I right, am I right? It's our lives It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember We're alive for the first time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember We're alive for the last time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember To live before you die It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember That our lives are such a short time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember When it takes such a long time It's hard to remember It's hard to remember My mom's God is a woman and my mom, she is a witch I like this My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself Why fight this? Everyone's afraid of their own life If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?

Rag weed tall, better hope that his ladder don't crack Or he'll hit the ground low, hard and on to his back At the battle at the bottom of the ocean, well the dead do rise You need proof, I got proof at the surface you can watch 'em float by Way in back of the room, there sits a cage Inside it's a clock that you can win if you can guess its age Which you never can do, 'cause the time it constantly change For lack or luck, I guess that is the saying On the first page of the book of blue it read If you read this page then that'll be your death By then it was too late and you wound up On an island of shells and bones that bodies had left And the one thing you taught me about human beings is this They ain't made of nothing but water and shit

Gonna float on, maybe would you understand? Well, I float on, maybe would you understand? The days get shorter and the nights get cold I like the autumn, but this place is getting old I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast It might not be a lot, but I feel like I'm making the most The days get longer and the nights smell green I guess it's not surprising, but it's spring and I should leave I like songs about drifters, books about the same They both seem to make me feel a little less insane Walked on off to another spot I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want Did I want love? Did I need to know? Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow? Moths beat themselves to death against the lights Adding their breeze to the summer nights Outside water like air was gray I didn't know what I had that day Walk a little further to another planet You said that you did, but you didn't understand I know that starting over's not what life's about But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth My thoughts were so loud

Blame it on the Tetons. Yeah, I need a scapegoat now. No my dog won't bite you, though it had the right to. You oughta give her credit 'cause she knows I would've let it happen. Blame it on the weekends. God I need a cola now. Oh we mumble loudly, wear our shame so proudly. Wore our blank expressions, trying to look interesting. Blame it all on me 'cause God I need a cold one now. All them eager actors gladly taking credit For the lines created by the people tucked away from sight Is just a window from the room we're bound to.

Although we often wondered It was no thing of wonder The shit that flew from our minds Grass stains and fresh fruit Reminds our shoes of horse glue On this ridiculous climb With great tall vision We built ourselves a mission To ride out motives decide Oh, with vague description Of what we have been missing So why would anyone try? It was always worth it That's the part I seem to hide And the busy ant empire Put all your clothes inside I wasn't always cargo I was once kind of my own I guess I'll pack up my mind It took so much effort Not to make an effort Oh, what a flawless design It was always worth it That's the part I seem to hide And the busy ant empire Put up the closing sign Even as I left Florida (Yee-ha) It was always worth it That's the part I seem to hide And the busy ant empire Has all deserted hive It was always worth it That's the part I seem to hide Even as I left Florida Far enough, far enough Wasn't far enough Couldn't quite seem to escape myself Far enough, far enough Far from Florida We were all drowsing in cruise control Far enough, far enough Wasn't far enough I stood on my heart supports thinkin' Oh my God, I'll probably have to carry this whole load I couldn't remember if I tried I couldn't remember if I took my brain out, threw it so directly at the goal I couldn't remember if I I could have my mind erased And still not know exactly what I don't already know Even as I left Florida

We placed our chips in all the right spots But still lost Any shithead who had ever walked Could take the ship and do a much finer job These fit like clothes made out of wasps Aw, fuck it, I guess I lost The parting of the sensory Carbon's anniversary Just part it again if you please Carbon's anniversary Who the hell made you the boss? If you say what to do, I know when not to stop If you were the ship, who would ever get on? The weather changed it for the worse And came down on us like it had been rehearsed Unlikely hope, but change will surely come It'd be awful for most, but really good for some A four year trip to the exact same spot We pulled the trigger, but we forgot to cock And every single shot Aw, fuck it, I guess we lost Someday you will die and somehow something's gonna steal your carbon Someday you will die and somehow something's gonna steal your carbon, hey-hey-hey Well, someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon (Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon) Someday you will die and someone's or something will steal your carbon (Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your) Someday something will die and somehow you'll figure out how often You will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon Something will die and you will prob'ly just steal its carbon Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon, hey-hey-hey Someday, somehow, or something will die and you will steal its carbon Somehow you will die and you will figure out how often you will die somehow And something's gonna steal your carbon Someday you will die somehow and someone's gonna steal your carbon, hey Someday you will die, and somehow you will figure out how often Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon You will die and somehow it's gonna steal your Always have figure out and find out we were bathed in carbon You will figure out that somehow you will Well, someday you will die somehow and someone's gonna steal your carbon (steal your carbon)

I used to sleep in the branches, I used to slither in the grass I can't believe how long I've wanted to be livin' in the past You say that you're related to ancient kings, oh, and some czars Why don't you build a time machine and show 'em you've fallen just so far? Look how far we haven't come Oh my God, we're so fucking dumb Look how far we haven't come Oh my God, we're so stupid dumb An object inanimate, layered deep in the Earth's crust They pulled me out, then they chiseled me into someone else's bust Look how far we haven't come Oh my God, we're so fucking dumb Look how far we haven't come Oh my God, we're so fucking dumb
Oh, it's not enough just being here or just simply being alive Although nothing stays the same the whole time Well, everything's impossible if you don't even try to try Although no one stays the same the whole time All of those impossible somedays All of those impossible somedays All of those impossible somedays Well, guess who stayed asleep every Monday? Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down inside your head 'Cause I'm just still trying to sleep Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down inside your head 'Cause I'm still trying to sleep Dreaming of impossible somedays Dreaming of impossible somedays The rocks become liquid, the liquid it turns into a gas And eventually the skies, they turn to glass Well, guess you stayed asleep every Monday Guess you stayed asleep every Monday Dreaming of impossible somedays Dreaming of impossible somedays All of those impossible somedays All of those impossible somedays And I can be impossible somedays All of those impossible somedays I'm just fine, but I can be impossible some days I'm just fine, but I can be impossible some days I can be impossible some days I can be impossible most days
