Strawmen 02:56
Like the STRAWMEN seeing in double the saints play your tune dreams of your maker they fall in on you stuck in a show and leaning on the ropes, with sucker punches we didn't throw pushin the air between my busted teeth what could you do, he studied your every move now your feet they're slipping on the rules while the drunk and the cowards run down the avenue stuck in the age of strawmen drinking the spills of history and how they're gonna shake him and how they're gonna break him in two radio cues and all the static news it drifts like winter, with no heat on playing your part and now the stock's on you down in the first you knocked him through the roof and the crowd they wandered with defeat on quick in disguise they ran down the avenue stuck in the age of strawmen drinking the spills of history and how they're gonna shake him and how they're gonna break him

ANTHEM FOR 2ND PLACE before you saw the game before you saw the game we lost we were beautiful and before we start to change before we start to change it all can we just say this once we're sorry for the pain we cause we shake with every thought if it makes you feel less wrong we we're foolish oh we're sorry for the pain we cause but we have no way and we won't be forced to explain go and stare straight into the sun and we will be there there's no way of dressing it up this wound is keeping so start the meeting one by one we sing and then jump you gotta see it burning up all the shame we can find you gotta feel it you gotta feel it you can't name this the hours we traded you can't name this

Flower 04:05
FLOWER a flower is a sour thing and it don't represent my dream of you it's a pretty conversation piece or a flashy hotel I think a flower is a one night stand only good for your lips and hands but awkward like a naked man all the patience we have earned while watching all the scenery all the poems we could learn then crumple into three a flower is a strategy only good for I'm sorry please like nature's bubble gum ring fun when you're seventeen all the patience we have earned while watching all the scenery all the poems we could learn then crumple into three every picture in this room giving us subtle clues every painting in this room waiting for their freedom too the poet doesn't grasp it's hidden under glass the poet doesn't grasp it's never gonna last it's never gonna last I might prefer a bright red crayon with broad strokes And secret plans surviving in a child's hand

Carnival 04:04
CARNIVAL bulls eye memory they met once in Tel Aviv she knows cause he's shaking like a tree she said you fell drunk into me and screamed out into the street we're all just here to compete and that a girl wants a guy to mistreat well she laughed most suddenly he fell back into his seat and dreamed of his hands on her feet he said do just what you want give me what you got cause I'm feeling fit for the roast oh tell me what you know about this carnival sing for me I'm sold I'll hang on every note she said let's meet again at 9 o clock ditch your friends we'll hit the block there's something you really outta know he said wait what's your number please you never told me honestly she kissed him quick and headed for the door humming a tune he ain't never heard before well it's the same old song you see boy meets girl and everything except for when the wind begins to blow and he wondered if she ever could've known oh tell me what you know about my sorry soul sing for me I'm sold I'll hang on every note the politics were obvious she the rock he sisyphus he was pushin but he didn't even know because at 10 o clock she didn't show and just as he got up to go he thought of something that she might've said and that was do just what you want and drink one for me because some of us were meant to be alone oh tell me what you know about this carnival sing for me I'm sold I'll hang on every note oh tell me what you know about my sorry soul sing for me I'm sold I'll hang on every note

SIX FOOT SOLEMN OATH pull my arms to edge of the road spin me fast don't let go tug my ears in the windy cold hear the sound of the snow want to see everyone everything chase me to home on a tight rope of stones whisper you see the trees they don't know how many toes cut across this here road one of them sneaking up on you well stretch my hands to the beat of a drum we could dance everyone pull my legs I won't be long you could bring me along up the hill in car we can feel easy we sway like an old time parade what do you see what does it mean when the people look sad what's that you say when a stone's marked with name oh what you see a ceremony when you get old and it's time to let go it's where people go down there must be cold a six foot solemn oath hold my eyes I don't wanna believe I could hide in the trees oh but no you don't have to go Spin me fast don't let go down there must be cold a six foot solemn oath I believe is one too much for me I feel much better no I'm never going under ground to push the flowers I feel like shakin almost breakin oh the worms below won't ever crawl on me I feel much better no I'm never going under ground to spend the hours I feel like shakin almost breakin tell the other side to save my soul for you I feel much better no I'm never going under ground to spend the hours I feel like shakin almost breakin tell the other side to save my soul for you

THE ARTIST TYPE how in the hell did you know that train would arrive what do you see when you close those painted eyes looking at you I can see you're the artist type high and dry perfectly flawed like the picture you found in the drawer perfectly lost from the time that you stole it before oh what's more it's pretty indeed but you tell me that you see more falling in to a room with the sounds you can't ignore it pains your heart and I get what's left on the floor when beauty is gone will you come back to me you sung every song you could possibly need you suffer the same thing every tree is another thing you could be drowned in sorrow calling me from the middle of the street carving the streets with a hand held book for a gun hoping to find what's eating everyone sadness waits but you just run over the hills and through to the setting sun looking for signs of the one who made it up but all the while you're wasting the rest of your life when beauty is gone will you come back to me you sung every song you could possibly need you suffer the same thing every tree is another thing you could be drowned in sorrow when beauty is gone will you come back to me you sung every song you could possibly need oh and you need you suffer the same thing every tree is another thing you could be drowned in sorrow calling me from the middle of the street

THE SAME THE SAME you can tell it's gonna be one hell of an evening wallflower let em free your sour memories that grow just right in the light when your alone and the drinkers still believe in perfect misery they ache so patiently to love your enemy and the knots that keep you strong in the fight start to slip untie in the night I want just once a feeling to remain the same the same add one to one you always get the same explain explain please just don't say you leave it up to fate and you say who could it be that's speaking for me i'm waiting for the news I feel like one of you we try to stick to one life who will you be today who stole your tongue away and the knots that keep you strong in the fight start to slip untie in the night when you're alone so take quickly to your seat and see who it'll be I want just once a feeling to remain the same the same add one to one you always get the same explain explain moments sitting separate no refrain i'll scrimp i'll save please just don't say you leave it up to fate

So It Goes 05:51
SO IT GOES so easy to laugh at all the symmetry it's a right turn followed by a right turn and the sign posts showing all the places maybe we should go there's a fault line between all of us I've been lucky each time still you look at me with a worried curiosity but I don't believe it and I can't hardly wait to prove everyone wrong cause I'll pick a side no one is on so it goes I'm full of holes the change was slow like cannon balls but oh you save me each time you take me home it's a spring board from the ocean to the corner store the shiny bottles look so pretty and romance a breathe blown and frozen on the glass door which signals the fading dreams of middle and the gin taste like fiddles almost gone almost gone pushing for answers I don't wanna know cause I'll pick a side where no body goes just you won't so it goes I'm full of holes the change was slow like cannon balls so it goes I'm full of holes the change was slow like cannon balls but oh you save me each time you take me home and oh you save me each time you take me home

JUST SO YOU KNOW my heart keeps beating like a juke box stuck on the who my heart keeps beating but there's not much more I can use just so so you know there's a new car I stole I drove into a tree hoping that you would see Just so so you know just so so you know And maybe I'm all wrong but there's an blot I saw it looked like you and me or maybe something like a good dream my heart keeps beating like a juke box stuck on the who my heart keeps beating but there's not much more I can use and I'm so tired afraid of what I'm gonna do and I've seen the films but they don't show what I feel instead I found a book which you never even took for 3 nights in a row there's pills that I stole and maybe I'm all wrong but there's an ink blot I saw it looked like you and me or maybe something like a mood swing my heart keeps beating like a juke box stuck on the who my heart keeps beating but there's not much more I can use my heart keeps beating like a juke box stuck on the who my heart keeps beating but there's not much more I can use and I'm so tired it's been a while afraid of what I'm gonna do just so so you know

Attention 04:28
ATTENTION oh it's a shame to admit but we all just wish to die young well attention's all that I want someone who will laugh and cheer me on this time you know I'm kicking your chair and tugging on to your arm listen look at me now one second it feels like a whole hour on a swing set with your feet up on your own you show just how high you can go in school yard it's so hard to hear them call your name like you were under a spell this feeling you miss oh well but you progress with focus and learn to think before you say or you're grounded away and your fathers on his way to say society don't wait a moment it's really a shame cause we all just wish to be young, well it sure felt good to play dumb like pleading the fifth four three to one you know I'm skipping the charm and pulling the firm alarm well detention's all that I want somewhere I can sit and think what I done this time but like Ally Sheedy said in the breakfast club when you grow old your heart just dies so you grow up and you throw up and learn to drink your cares away to all the rent you must pay on a sofa with your feet up on your own you show that you can work a remote this feeling we just don't know and oh it's a shame really a shame cause we all just wish to die young well attention's all that I want someone who'll laugh and cheer me on this time you know I'm kicking your chair and tugging onto your arm listen look at me now one second it feels like a whole hour now the moment's gone with the wind and you're chasing after the sound the sound of screwing around and who cares if the cops are running us down

GONE Gone is a four letter word and your gone with nothing to string me along the weight of a joke can be strong but what can I say I was wrong just a five letter word but so strong somebody sing me a song and make every note weigh a ton to bury me down till I'm gone cause these words they don't mean a thing cause I learned it's all just a wonderful scheme designed to confuse you and me a beautiful dream indeed but we a two letter word but surely a meaning that most of us see so why do we need to believe I'm just wondering what do you think I'm just asking what do you mean Cause I been using political means to stay on the scene see what you mean I'm just dancing into your dream I wanna believe When we were young a story was gold and the lines were more than paper and fold But the professor he told me it so deconstructing every word complaining it's all just absurd well how do we know what he means if it's all just a beautiful dream I'm just wondering what do you think I'm just asking what do you mean cause I been using political means to stay on the scene see what you mean I'm just dancing into your dream I wanna believe It's all just a beautiful lie so take it in stride and if there's nothing to say why can't we wait It's all just a beautiful lie so take it in stride and if there's nothing to say why can't we wait my words are broken on the ground I'm down on my knees searching for leads your eyes are speaking for you now I know what they say I know what they say and though it might be raining down it's perfectly clear perfectly clear i know you mean just please don't end it here just please don't end it here it's all just a beautiful lie so take it in stride and though I know it's hard to say why can't we wait and if there's nothing to say why can't we wait why can't we wait why can't we wait just please don't end it here just please don't end it here

SOMEHOW WE ESCAPED I can see I was blind I fell in line I danced the routine and began to dream but thankfully you screamed chaos or fate well somehow we escaped but the creature was free and chased us to eat so anxiously we sipped our tea and danced our last gently
