Run Faster
03:25
|
|||
I'm giving it my all
But I'm heading for a fall
When all that I can do
Is run faster
For something less than I am worth
As I tumble down to Earth
But all that I can do
Is run faster
Please listen to the way I feel
I need to get some more time to heal
My lungs are getting ready to explode
I can't run any faster
I get the feeling I should leave
It's getting harder to believe
You don't know what it is I'm going through
I'm running faster
How can you tell me what to do
If I am dead I will not see things through
What you want isn't easy done or said
I'd like to see you run faster
I've given you my all
But I'm ready for a fall
When all you let me do
Is run faster
I've given you my all
But I'm ready for a fall
When all you let me do
Is run faster

What are you doing to me
In the name of being free
I never liked you
But you ought to know
The things I hold dear you break
Everything I try to make
You only wanted destruction
You reap what you sow
Come on, baby
Just think, maybe
You're not the person
That you think you are but instead
Just take one minute
To see the limit
Please understand there's
Nothing going on in your head
And then you did it again
To try to impress your friends
I don't think they really like you
I thought you should know
The things you're doing to me
To achieve immortality
You only wanted attention
But please let it go
Come on, baby
Just think, maybe
You're not the person
That you think you are but instead
Just take one minute
To see the limit
Please understand there's
Nothing going on in your head
What are you doing to me
In the name of being free
It is a pointless distraction
But what do you know
Come on, baby
Just think, maybe
You're not the person
That you think you are but instead
Just take one minute
To see the limit
Please understand there's
Nothing going on in your head
Come on, baby
Just think, maybe
You're not the person
That you think you are but instead
Just take one minute
To see the limit
Please understand there's
Nothing going on in your head

Don't Think
02:44
|
|||
I don't think
You know how to be good to me
I don't think
You have time to be reminding
I don't think
Anything you do is good enough
And I think
The time for us is wrong
I don't think
That I should listen to you anymore
Everything
You say to me always makes me snore
Everyone
Says I should not so quickly doubt you
What I think
It doesn't matter now
I don't think
You will be here for me
I don't think
You even know how
You and me
Were never meant to be together
I don't think
The time for us is now
I don't think
You should be watching so much TV
It's a thing
You do too much and always every
Thing I see
Is nothing that can be too good for you
I don't think
You remember what's right
I don't think
You know how to be good to me
I don't think
You have time to be reminding
I don't think
Anything you do is good enough
And I think
The time for us is wrong

In The Desert
04:17
|
|||
I grew up in the desert
Dry air always made my eyes hurt
Ran around with nowhere to go
When I really wanted there to be snow
Almost never got it in the desert
My mind made up I tried to move away
But everywhere I got I couldn't stay
I grew up in the desert
All the people I knew they made my mind hurt
I went somewhere else got on a plane
I wanted to get my five minutes of fame
Everything I did I needed gin or ginseng
I ran faster to get more of the same
I will always be from the desert
No matter what, you're covered in dirt
Where I'm living now there's plenty of rain
And everything I know is ijust more of the same
Someday I might go back to where from I came
I grew up in the desert

Bad Cat
01:55
|
|||
I have a bad cat
He is very fat
He sat on my hat
And then he shat
He dragged the hat
All over my mat
Then he ate a bat
And made friends with a rat
I took this bad cat
To the laundromat
Where we had a spat
About the theocrat
He's a diplomat
For this crazy dingbat
Sent us off to combat
Like a copycat
He's a bureaucrat
And a total asshat
Shut down the laundromat
Because he overheard chit-chat
An aristocrat
And a cosmocrat
He's a pornocrat
Such a total prat
So I took this bad cat
Back to my flat
Gave up on the hat
Dumped it with the mat
We had a little chat
He'd have nothing of that
But I gave him a pat
'Cuz he's my pussycat

I Think It's Killing Me
01:29
|
|||
There's something in my eye
But I feel like I could fly
A bright light came to me in a dream
Skies of pink, clouds tangerine
Everything I do or see or think
Depends upon the stuff I drink
I think that it is killing me
Everytime I take a sip of tea
The stuff of dreams it fills in the seams
Bright shiny lights inside my dreams
I cannot think without a drink or three
But I feel it surrounding me
I could quit but that will not do
Another dose for me and you

Convalescence
02:50
|
|||
Wrapped up in a padded room
Feels like I am in a tomb
It reminds me of my mother's womb
And it leaves me time for thinking
Been this way since sometime in June
Someone caught me howling at the moon
Hoping that I can get out soon
But this ship just might be sinking
Oh, I could use a little convalescence
Oh, I need some convalescence
Shotgun shot in the dead of night
Can't sleep cuz the dark is way too bright
See myself heading right for the light
I guess I have been drinking
No idea how long I've been here
Something 'bout this place a little queer
My mind is missing one more gear
Little lightbulb blinking
Oh, I could use a little convalescence
Oh, I need some convalescence
Oh, i could use a little convalescence
Oh, how I need some convalescence
Wrapped up in a padded room
Feels like I am in a tomb
It reminds me of my mother's womb
And it leaves me time for thinking

Baby, Be Quiet
03:27
|
|||
She doesn't disturb me
Confuses, perturbs me
She just wants to know me
While living below me
I know what she can see
A robber she fancies
I don't know what I mean
A daughter in between
She doesn't control me
Doesn't quite know me
I know what I can see
In transparency

Night Terrors
03:01
|
|||
You're lying awake in bed
Something happens in your head
You're not sure if you're alone
Somewhere, somebody moans
Voices that you hear take your breath away
You're not sure what you see
It keeps you in captivity
An alien, a parasite
Torturing you through the night
You wake up and everything seems okay
The reticular activating system
Controls if the nerve impulse reaches your hands
Like an engine with a misfiring piston
Things go out of whack
You have a panic attack
And the night terror seems so real you cannot stand
Serotonin overload
Somewhere in your frontal lobe
Dopamine suppression is to
Always keep you guessing
Hippocampus shouldn't be on call
The brain is running like clockwork
In a mechanical Turk
Systems poorly factored and they're
Cheaply manufactured
It's a wonder anything works at all
And the reticular activating system
Controls if the nerve impulse reaches your hands
Like an engine with a misfiring piston
Things go out of whack
You have a panic attack
And the night terror seems so real you cannot stand
And the reticular activating system
Controls if the nerve impulse reaches your hands
Like an engine with a misfiring piston
Things go out of whack
You have a panic attack
And the night terror seems so real you cannot stand

House in My Head
01:42
|
|||
There's a house in my head
A flea in my bed
Everything I know is coming up red
And the flea in my bed
Is asking me why
When I walk on water
How I stay dry
I think
It's something to do with how
I think
My life isn't mine somehow
I try
To be the best I can be
I need
To try to love me
There's a house in my head
A flea in my bed
Everyone I know will someday be dead
And the flea in my bed
Is telling me why
I feel these things like
I wanna die
Everything I do
I do it for you, but
Nothing I do
Seems to come through, so
I think
I need time alone, because
I think
My pain is my own
There's a house in my head
A flea in my bed
Everything I know is coming up red
And the flea in my bed
Is asking me why
When I walk on water
How I stay dry

Rhymes with Lucia
04:33
|
|||
Standing on a stage where I'm rhyming with Lucia
I have to admit that this wasn't my idea
Having too much fun while drinking much tequila
I'd rather have coffee though
Watching her go with you, falling on the weekends
Buy a new skirt made of edible sequins
Wading through the pond, sitting down where it deepens
Where do you want to go?
I'm feeling fine
Taking time, try to rhyme
She used to be trouble-free
Can you see?
Standing on a lake is not such a good venue
When it is cold food that we have on the menu
Everyone tired of doing what we can do
Please don't let her down
When you have a friend, you never want to see them
Hanging out to dry in a mausoleum
You want them to simply carpe diem
It is too late now
She came to me
She will be set free
What I mean, what I seen
She had been in between
I'm feeling fine
Taking time, try to rhyme
She used to be trouble-free
Can you see?
I'm feeling fine
Taking time, try to rhyme
She used to be trouble-free
