1. PUT THE FREAKS UP FRONT

So you're suffering..I know it hurts a lot if it's the first time.
Whenever I begin, make sure to keep my emphaty inside
The harder that it gets, the more company will do you all in.
Here comes another hit.
This isn't dying, it's just a slow way of falling
You place your frown heavily down on me
And try to make me weak too lame to speak, I
Only 'cause of love, push me, don't calm me
Can't win, just blame me
Love 's the only thing that makes me do this
We're on the edge of something
No power from above,
That says if you able)
You do it yourself, survive this we've made it
I'll help you through this
It's out of my system, it hit while our playing
There's beauty in this place,
It helped me I'm staying
It took me all these years to realize
These blows mark a new deal
The truth is the threats' real
Hype up and go hatch a plan
Do you know what this means to me tag onto someone who can
Your no respect and no dignity, do you believe it
Noble designs slip away
With your backs to the outside you'll burn
Slide into morbid decay
Your bubble won't block out the sun
I'm leaving
Come and feel what it does to me, so much more than fantasy
Put your panic on a hold, amplify your very soul and keep breathing
So you're suffering
I know it hurts a lot if it's the first time
Whenever I begin, make sure to keep my emphaty inside.
The agony preserved, your eyes are slowly losing all their softness.
The alcohol and tyme, so good must be a crime.
I see you're fighting


2. SISTER BEW

Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done
All my life I've only loved the one
I was taught to be tolerant and plain
I was taught a million things I can't explain
It must have been the hatred in her eyes
It must have been the power to her lies
Tell me sister there's a place where I can hide
Oh my sweet this is how it did unfold
No my body never felt so calm and cold
All around us there were people in the park
No my senses never felt so clear and stark
And I know that she saw it in my way
And I'm sure that she heard it in my voice
Tell me sister please I didn't have a choice
I enjoyed to see her being idle
She never had no worries, nothing vital
From the day I met her to the final afternoon
There was something there I can't describe it
We were kicking ass we didn't fight it
She never once suspected, that she had it coming soon
Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done
All my life I've only loved the one
I was raised with compassion and they said
I was loved for the loving that I spread
Now the only thing remaining is this chill
And the only emptiness I need to fill
Is understanding what it is that made me kill
Please forgive me if I keep on smiling
But every sad story has a funny side in
from that moment on I felt like crying every day
All around us there were people screaming
For half a second I thought I was dreaming
My baby looked at me her eyes were beaming
I walked away.
Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done
All my life I've never loved no one
So it dawned on me this should be the place
Now the only thing I crave is an embrace
So let your tender wisdom be mine
and let me come to you like a child
I'd like to stick around here for a while



3. ONE ADVICE SPACE

Wasted and wounded, erased with the night
One man's conviction is another man's lie
I said you could find me where the nighthawks fly
And I'll be there a while, yes I'll be there a while.
Dustpaper coupons, there's a guy by the door
He said : "What makes me quit makes you go back for more"
This place isn't real man, this girl is a whore
Watch me fall to the floor, but I'll go back for more
Sometimes I wander
So I finally found you, and I lost you to love
No it sure wasn't this I was thinking of
Put your silhouette on me and your sweetness above
And I can't get enough, no I can't get enough.
Wasted and wounded, this ain't no way to die
One man's cold turkey is another man's high
I said you could find me where the nighthawks fly
And I'll be there a while, yes I'll be there a while
Sometimes I wander
Down on the floor, got a closer look at hell
You see, somebody pushed me, I just pretended that I fell
I said that I adored you, but I could never tell
For all that I know I'll be gone when you go.
Music went through you and took you to a place
There ain't no doubt you'll find a welcoming embrace
I said that I loved you, another hawk in space
And you'll be there for a while and I'll be there for a while
Finding my own inarticulate prose
Weirding out strangers and laughing at those
Jaundiced and jaded postured and posed
Not that we're special, it's just that we're
Closing in on a place where we might get to be
Living real people regularly
Send you some stuff and be good like you asked
Must promise remember the sixth and the last
Thanks for anonymous invisible
Take us away
Thanks for not breaking like they wanted
Take us away
Wake me and say "Take us away"



4. THE MAGIC HOUR

I had a plan, was all made up
An angel was sent, for keeping all troubles away
'cause lady and i, we could not stop
As cool as a sigh, as volatile as something you say
I had a dream, a simple plot
I held out my hand as if she'd never pushed it away
The sun is still there, except it's not
Beside her I care to linger even though it's not safe
Godawful i adore you
Angels were there before you
Nothing can stop what we do
It's breaking us up in two
Hey maybe should we ask it
Could our friends be worthier
Like things we trust for if we must
We must burn them
And burn them good, real friends they would
Be understanding if it came to us
And us we must we must turn to
The god of small things
The god of small things
I had a plan, was all made up
As good it was then, the magic hour seemed to be fading
'cause lady and I, we could not stop
As cool as a sigh, as murderous as something you say
Godawful I adore you
Angels were there before you
Nothing can stop what we do
It's breaking us up in two
There is room if you can trust for anyone like us



5. THE IDEAL CRASH

Stay by my side, it's over
The ride isn't what I told you
The painkiller-side of this life
Is to not look behind it's over
I have been told about longing
A feeling so old, it's dead
I must have been misled
So stay by my side, I'm sorry
I'm drawing myself the ideal crash
But I know I won't believe me
There'll be a time you'll leave me
Stay by my side, it's sexy
The way that we talk about stuff
The way that we laugh with love
The way that we're falling off
CRASH you're life's gone sucking cause you wanna mess
Around, can anybody down you with a
CRASH another way of saying that you like to make it
Up as you move along. If it's a lot, show them what you got
Stay by my side, I want you
Continue the theme that's us
Even though it's only lust
The painkiller-side of this life
I'm drawing myself the ideal crash
And I know I won't believe me
How can a man kill gently
How long before it's all done
How can he leave someone
How can he do it softly
CRASH you're life's gone sucking cause you wanna mess
Around, can anybody down you with a
CRASH another way of saying that you like to make it
Up as you move along. If it's a lot, show them what you got
CRASH you're gonna go to hell with a certain inclination
Try and make it sell and then you
CRASH you're gonna have to take yourself out of circulation
If it's a lot, show them what you got
Right now I need my hands, to cover this shit up
I need my eyes to see were I'm going, and I need someone
Stay by my side, it's sexy
The way that we talk about stuff
The way that we laugh with love
The way that we're falling off



6. INSTANT STREET

You’re probably right, seen from your side
That I have been lucky
But I’ve been meaning to crack all week
Yes I’ve been involved, it never resolved into anything shocking.
Pain’s playing yoyo in my body as we speak
And now I found something to look for, but I can’t decide,
Cause I might find that to stroll behind is better than to score
Just like I did before
It wouldn’t be true, not towards you, to say that I’m staying
When on every single impulse, on every other move I react
Cause in any old creek, with changing technique, you’ll see me playing
After any old motherfucking blow I’ll be back
We turned away from instant stuff
Our cracking codes were breaking up
Our words were sucked out it made them clean
And after lowness say it
And after more let it be known
Our codes are grown into something mean
You’re probably right, as for tonight, you’re making me nervous
What is it you want me to be thinking of
I’ll put on a movie, I’ll play something groovy as a matter of service
And I’ll chuckle when you smile as a matter of love
Cause you know it’s not my style to be giving up now
And his pain in my side, I had enough
This time I go for instant street
This life’s a soulless excuse for all abuse and parenthesis
The flyspecked windows and the stinking lobbies
They’ll remain all the same, all the same
This time I go, this time I go



7. MAGDALENA

You drive too fast, can you please shut up
I'll call the police if you don't stop
You're just trying to scare me, you want me to know
That you're not this precious little thing you hold
You're afraid you say, and you're never sure
Of the coming day, if what you've seen before
And I'm not that handsome, is what you'll see again
Anyway, in remembering
But I'm feeling good and if you don't exist
You're still one illusion that I can't resist
Now you're holding back and I'm holding on
Heaven knows what you want
'Cause kicks like these
They're coming fast but watching how long they last
It's a funny time to fall in love
Feels like something pulled me up to see me fall right off
You drive too fast but I don't care
Wherever's fine, just take me there
Now I'm holding back and you're moving on
Heaven knows what I want
'Cause on a day like this
I'd believe anything
I don't know where to begin
One for your coming, two for your shoes
Your buccaneer loving and suicide moods
I wanna move, don't figure out much into the new
Out of the blue, out of the darkness
Into the new, out of the blackness



8. EVERYBODYS WEIRD

So everybody came, but you're here to have some fun
And everyone's the same, well that's faster said than done.
And you're such a lovely guy but it doesn't take so much
To get all there is out, all the dirt and all the sludge.
You're stepping on my sun and it's such a lot of fun
Better smile before it's gone, you're stepping on my sun
And the liquor that you had is playing twister with your mind
you been artificially sad but never naturally high
I was flashing on a thought on a party in this town
If I said what's on my mind, there'd be not a soul around
You're stepping on my sun and it's such a lot of fun
Better smile before it's gone you're stepping on my sun
It's easier to trust if it comes down to this my friend
I will help you if I must
I will kill you if I can experience is cheap
And you know that in the end
I will kill you if I must
I will help you if I can
You're stepping on my sun and it's such a lot of fun
Better smile before it's gone, you're stepping on my sun
Cause everybody's weird and they all think they're God
But the biggest one they fear is that precious thing you got
The fire in your eyes is a subtlety I know
And you will not be denied but the service is so slow
You're stepping on my sun and it's such a lot of fun
Better smile before it's gone, you're stepping on my sun



9. LETS SEE WHO GOES DOWN FIRST

I was walking down the river playing solitary quiver
I was thinking about a million different lives.
She came dancing up a mountain, spread her whiteness like a fountain
And an hint of broken turquoise in her eyes.
She came all the way to say
I didn't stand a single chance the state that I was in
I said:"your sould is a-swaying".
She said:"hey that's a pretty saying, but unfortunately it is not true".
She said:"you're just looking for another to love you"
Now we all know the world is dying and expenses multiplying
But you could try to take it easy too
Let me take you for a ride
I will take you for a ride
'Cause in time you'll be mine
when you're mine it'll be oh so fine
At the time I wasn't feeling that good
At the time I wasn't feeling that good
I wasn't longing for a strange delight
I wasn't flashing on the dark of night
I wasn't going for no periodic mood
I wasn't suffering no odd decease
I never thought of it as no unease
But when it called me I just had to let it loose.
It never made me wonder or even think
Just merely tapping tapping on my instinct
It left me there but I wasn't left to choose
Now I heard stories about this kind of thing
It haphazardly just sucks you in,
Makes you do stuff you never thought you'd do
One night it drove me to despair
What if anybody had seen me there
To this day I still wonder how they knew
They started spreading rumors about my state
You know how it goes around this place,
Now and then they just need someone to screw
My senses numb but I could feel four, five years been taken out of me.
If you'd ask me, there's no way I could prove
The smell of hysteria was chemical, the air around me thick and physical,
My mind was racing but myself I couldn't move
It had me running, running, running
Now I heard stories this kind of thing, it doesn't lose it just let's you win
With a little bit of luck you don't come out too bruised.
Such anger that I couldn't vent
So much energy I couldn't spend
it would have fucked me over if I hadn't cut it loose
I wasn't suffering no odd decease
I never thought of it as no unease,
Next time it calls me I'll be ready because I know
I'll be ready
I'll be ready



10. DREAM SEQUENCE

My little dreamone, you ok
I'm thinking about you everyday
Along with your smile, I took my belongings
Along with the sunshine, I went away
There is a space here, there is a void
I need to find, a little more time gimme time
Of all of the fuckups that I do
I've saved up the best one for you
Heaven and moonshine, you gotta be kidding
You wanted to give it a try and I didn't
I never wanted to be looking back
I need to find a little more insight gimme insight
I'm getting better everyday
I just don't care what they say
People are talking, they were talking before
They don't even know who we are anymore
I never wanted to be looking back
I need to find, some peace of mind gimme peace of mind
My little dreamone, you ok
I'm thinking about you everyday
Along with your smile, I took my belongings
Along with the sunshine, I went away
There is a space here, there is a void
I need to find, a little more time gimme time
Whispered in
The way you cling
We find made
Our special thing
Stone Madly I
Hellbent on my
Coming for you
