Lyrics


1. TELESCOPE

I think I lost some years, sometimes I don't know how
I forget to remember now
You used to tell me things that you were thinking
Now we don't even talk, that's what I'm thinking
Let's have a day outside for the lonely
They're gonna cry tonight
I've got some stuff in a box, maybe I'll show you sometime
But the box would think that was unwise
Some days the view from here, it means nothing
I woke up with the fear again this morning
Let's have a day outside in the sun
Play around and have a lot of fun
We've got some telescopes in our hands
Just try to keep them pointed at the land
Let's have a day outside tonight
I've been distracted from the things that I wanna do
I've been distracted from the way I wanna be for you


2. SEA KNOWS WHEN

Sea knows when
Shy of blue getting through
Dodging pain from me and you
It's my cave, my last ideal to put the bed out in the hall
We're diving now
We're plotting charts and finding faults
we're making lists down in the vaults
I have no angel to watch me fall
Sky of blue and I told you
That I don't know how I should do
I wrote it down, I threw it out
Now I find I'm left without
And the sea knows when it's going to end


3. EVERYBODY LIES

Everybody lies
Everybody lies
Everybody all the time
I lie to go to sleep when all is wrong or right
Most of it's not there
Everything and everywhere
I lie about you and me too
But it's allright everybody lies
Make the wrong right


4. TREEHOUSE

I can see the things she does for me
I'm living in a treehouse
I live in constant fear
Awakening must be near
I'm sleeping in a dreamhouse
A tine in the fork in the road
Is pointing to heaven
But the sky is old
A tine in the fork in the road
Is pointing at nothing
Cos it's all been sold
I live with you
To die in a jamais vu
I love you
But this isn't true


5. NOTHING

I didn't do anything today
Lazyhead
I didn't do anything today
Stay in bed
I'm finally doing what I said I'd never do
I'm doing nothing
I'm doing it for you
And you will admire the ultimate courage
When I throw everything right in the garbage for you
I didn't say anything today
Nothing said
I didn't think anything today
Emptyhead
I'm finally doing what I said I'd never do
I'm saying nothing
I'm saying it at you
And I will get helpers I'm recruiting them now
I'll show them nothing to do I will show them how
And we will do nothing
We'll do it together
I don't care when we get through
We'll do it forever for you
