Cup of Coffee
02:03
|
|||
|
Loneliness is a state of mind, I maintain around you all the time. I give you a fraction of my affection, wise enough to withhold complete attention.
Baby take me out for a cup of coffee and an awkward line, maybe I can learn to treat you fondly, I don't mind.
I can talk your ear off, i can shut my mouth, i can sing a song to you, I can shout.
Your smile and your voice they left me with no choice, to love you. It's like a harmony to me I'm walking down the street thinking of you.
Maybe make me all the things that they feel, real.
Come and walk with me through our field, heal.
Come on honey, love me, I know your thinking of me, am I right?
See it in your eyeballs, thinking that you might fall for me tonight.
So baby take me out for a cup of coffee, and an awkward line. Maybe I can learn to treat you fondly I don't mind

Oh my little lamb come back to your man, cause I want to know you, oh my unicorn come rub against my horn, cause I want to show you. I want to show you my world, i want to call you my girl, I want to see you naked, those eyes of your's amaze me.
Wizard for my love, sent from up above, and I want to show you
your magic and your mine, your loving's so sublime, and I want to know you.
I want to show you my world, I want to call you my girl. I want to see you naked, those eyes of your's amaze me
Oh my little lamb, let's make some toast and jam, cause I want to love you. Oh my lonely one, let's have a little fun, cause I want to have you.
I want to show you my world, I want to call you my girl. I want to see you naked. Those eyes of your's amaze me.

My Best Friend
02:36
|
|||
|
My best friend is a girl, who I sometimes make love with. My best friend is a girl, who sometimes makes love with, and we're dancing in the kitchen, and we do things on her floor, things, things, things, do some more.
My best friend is girl, who I sometimes make love with. my best friend is a girl, who I sometimes make love with; and she takes care of me when I take too much acid, and I take care of her when she drinks too much beer. Calm down, calm down, have no fear.
I never thought that she would leave me, without a lover, without a friend, I always thought that she would need me until some mortal end. Fell in love so long ago, stuck around to watch it snow, on our garden, on a row, of our memories, so it goes.

dirty basement tub blues
01:22
|
|||
|
Oh my darling if I loved you from afar, would you want me to? I miss the blue skirt you used to wear, I miss the red in your red brown hair, I miss the boy I used to be, walking around with you next to me. Now I'm an old man, drinking whiskey, sitting in the tub, listening to country, thinking about how things used to be.
Oh my darling I can't stand you, yeah I get that feeling sometimes too. Can't stand the way we hurt each other, I don't want to see you with another;
but that's the way it's got to be, you do you and I'll do me, and we'll see, who we will be.

They call me Sam
02:58
|
|||
|
They used to call me sadness, now they call me Sam. I used to be another guy, now I am a man. I used to do a lot of drugs, now they're not for me. I fuck like a bonobo, I fight like chimpanzee.
Don't look back from where you came, the linear path keeps you sane. Everything is changing, but I won't do it wrong, I cut myself with pushups I slice my arms with song.
I am am a Shaman, I see the cosmic web, I know the music can fix your broken head.
Don't look back from where you came, the linear path keeps you sane. Everything is changing, but I won't do it wrong, I cut myself with pushups I slice my arms with song.
Buddha was junkie, with a selfish mind. he had a wife and child, that he left behind. Jesus was a monkey who thought he was everything, they hung him from a piece of wood, he had nowhere to swing.
Don't look down from where you hang, the love above you calls your name. The son has no father, it just floats in space, there is no redemption in the human race.

Sensation
02:25
|
|||
|
We could be so happy, places we can go, so much to see, reality thicker than the words we throw.
Any love that we gain will surely rust, and will be taken from us. Things change too quickly for playing it cool, so I will play the fool.
Sensation let me in, show me how to love again. Lovely skin, feminine, maybe I can play her man.
Any love that we gain will surely rust, and will be taken from us. Things change too quickly for playing it cool, so I will play the fool.
We can speak, honestly, come outside and play.
Two can't stay in shared space, the place which word creates
any love that we gain will surely rust, and will be taken from us.

When You're Right
02:01
|
|||
|
Little one, just have fun, and I will make things right. You're so sweet and so bright, why are you uptight. When you're right, don't think twice, just please be kind. When I'm wrong, sing along if you don't mind.
Oh my son, you're so young, you'v got to bite that tongue. Little man, take her hand, make her understand. All she does, how she loves, it's all enough. Enough for me, soon she'll see, she's what I need.

This is the feeling of frustration,
Here are some ways I am
Tried to be smooth with no sedation,
Tried to win you myself.
So please make a sound and I will come out,
Spin me around and I'll fall down.
Your moonlight is bright I think I'll feel right soon
Will you?
Jessica
The only one I feel
Jessica
You seem real
So please make a sound and I will come out,
Spin me around and I'll fall down.
Your moonlight is bright I think I'll feel right soon
Will you?
