*** Meds
I was alone, falling free,
trying my best not to forget,
what happened to us, what happened to me,
what happened as i let it slip.
I was confused by the powers that be,
forgetting names and faces,
Passers by, were looking at me,
as if they could erase it.
Baby...did you forget to take your meds?
Baby...did you forget to take your meds?
I was alone, staring over the ledge,
Trying my best not to forget,
all manner of joy, all manner of glee,
and our one heroic pledge.
How it mattered to us, how it mattered to me,
and the consequences.
I was confused, by the birds and the bees,
forgetting if i meant it.
Baby..did you forget to take your meds? (x4)
And the sex and the drugs, and the complications (x4)
Baby... did you forget to take you meds? (x6)
I was alone, falling free, trying my best not to forget.
*** Blind
If I could tear you from the ceiling,
And guarantee a source divine,
Rid you off possessions fleeting,
Remain your funny valentine.
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind (x2)
If I could tear you from the ceiling,
I know the best have tried,
I'd fill your every breath with meaning,
And find a place we both could hide.
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind (x2)
You don't believe me, but you do this every time,
Please don't drive me blind (x2)
I know we're broken (x3)
If I could tear you from the ceiling,
I'd freeze us both in time,
Find a brand new way of seeing..
Your eyes forever glued to mine.
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind (x4)
I know I broke it (x4)
*** Kings Of Medicine
They're picking up pieces of me
While they're picking up pieces of you
In a bag you will be before the day is over
While you're looking for somewhere to be
Or looking for someone to do
Stupid me to believe that I could trust in stupid you
And on the back of my hand
Were directions I could understand
Now that old buzzer Johnny Walker
Has gone and ruined all our plans
Our best mate plans
Don't leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don't leave me here, my guiding light
'Cause I, I wouldn't know where to begin
I ask the kings of medicine
They're picking up pieces of me
While they're picking up pieces of you
Lying on ice you will be before the day is over
So case in point, baby
That you never thought it through
Stupid me to believe I could depend on stupid you
And on the tip of my tongue
Were words that always came out wrong
'Cause they were drowned in southern comfort
Left to dry out in the sun, the noon day sun
Don't leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don't leave me here, my guiding light
'Cause I, I wouldn't know where to begin
I ask the kings of medicine
But it seems they've lost their power
Now all I'm left with is the hour
Don't leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don't leave me here, my guiding light
'Cause I, I wouldn't know where to begin
I ask the kings of medicine
But it seems they've lost their power
Now all I'm left with is the hour
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here, oh no
I wouldn't know where to begin
*** Because I Want You
Fall into you
Is all I seem to do
When I hit the bottle
Cause I'm afraid to be alone
Tear us in two
Is all it seems to do
As the anger fades
This house is no longer a home
Don't give up on the dream
Don't give up on the wanting
And everything that's true
Don't give up on the dream
Don't give up on the wanting
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Stumble into you
Is all I ever do
My memory's hazy
And I'm afraid to be alone
Tear us in two
Is all it's gonna do
As the headache fades
This house is no longer a home
Don't give up on the dream
Don't give up on the wanting
And everything that's true
Don't give up on the dream
Don't give up on the wanting
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Fall into you
Is all I ever do
When I hit the bottle
Cause I'm afraid to be alone
Tear us in two
Tear us in two
Tear us in two
Don't tear us in two
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
*** The Neverending Why
The atom will implode
The fragile kingdom fold
The tremor becomes a quake
And there's a body in the lake
And as the two of us rebel
Damn you all to hell
I wonder if that's all there is
Time will help you through
But it doesn't have the time
To give you all the answers to the never-ending why
The sound of silence grows
As the spider'' kiss is laid
The tumor becomes malign
But the kids are doing fine
And as the two of us rebel
And damn you all to hell
I wonder if that's all there is
Time will help you through
But it doesn't have the time
To give you all the answers to the never-ending why
*** Teenage Angst
Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.
Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed.
You see through my disguise
At the drive-in, double feature,
pull the lever, break the fever
and say your last goodbyes.
Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever ever goes my way
One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time.
Trapped in amber, petrified.
And still not satisfied
Airs and social graces, elocution so divine.
I'll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time,
both spineless and sublime.
Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever - ever goes my way.
*** Twenty Years
There are twenty years to go
And twenty ways to know
Who will wear,
Who will wear
The hat.
There are twenty years to go,
The best of all I hope.
Enjoy the ride, the medicine show.
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.
We need to concentrate on more then meets the eye.
There are twenty years to go,
The faithful and the low.
The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone.
There are twenty years the go,
The punch drunk and the blow.
The worst of starts, the mercy part, the phone.
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.
We need to concentrate on more then meets the eye.
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.
But it's you I take 'cause your the truth not I.
There are twenty years to go.
A golden age I know.
But all will pass, will end to fast, you know.
There are twenty years to go,
And many friends I hope.
Though some may hold the rose some hold the rope.
And that's the end and that's the start of it.
That's the whole and that's the part of it.
That's the high and that's the heart of it.
That's the long and that's the short of it.
That's the best and that's the test in it.
That's the doubt, the doubt,
The trust in it.
That's the sight and that's the sound of it.
That's the gift and that's the trick in it.
You're the truth not I.
