(Homer's Back In Town)
01:13
|
|||
|
Everybody knows that Homer's back in town,
It wasn't long 'til he was six feet in the ground,
Like a dog, beaten down,
just a memory for now
'Cause I thought that life would come with batteries,
I didn't think the mob would be so hard to please,
I can see in your eyes,
that you never said goodbye...

Odyssey

Wide awake and feeling empty
Thought I had something to say
And why does everyone resent me
When I talk about the rain
It feels like a waterfall
I don't want you to call
cause I'll answer anyway
Can I let go
I don't know
I'm a fake and don't you know it
thought I told you anyway
I'll play it safe and be a poet
writing songs about the rain
And I'm on a waterfall
feels like I'm really tall
looking down on your parade
Can I let go
I don't know

You Know What I Mean
03:16

Don't act like you still love me
I see you fade away
and I've never felt so ugly
as when you look away
Can you hear?
Am I coming in clear?
No it's not the same
So I won't explain
You know what I mean
Yeah you know what I'm saying
I know you're somewhere in there
as far as I can see
but I've never felt so lonely
when you're next to me
My arms are getting tired
from holding up the words
so throw me on the fire
and see intentions burn
They melt away
those things we say
Yeah what's the use
You know the truth
You know what I mean
Yeah you know what I'm saying
I'm alone
In a world where your ears ring
and you can't hear a single thing
a word I say, a song I sing
I know that you're not listening
You know what I mean
Yeah you know what I'm saying

People's Tragic Lives
04:54

Remember when she said
you'll always be alone
It echoes in your head
you're sinking like a stone
You know that you're too nice
and nice people make people mad
So maybe she was right, but probably not
Cause you know
Yeah you know
You see it all the time
People's tragic lives
Lie awake at night
People's tragic lives
You're smarter than them all
you've got it figured out
but you're last place in a race that no one knows about
She said that you're a nice guy
and that nice guys finish last
But that's the perfect reason why you're all alone
Cause you know
Yeah you know
That you've been left behind
People's tragic lives
On the other side
People's tragic lives
Remember when she said
you do it to yourself
But you got an empty head
you threw those memories off the shelf
She said that you're a bad guy
You know bad guys rule the world
So maybe she was right
You see it all the time
People's tragic lives
Lie awake at night
People's tragic lives

Golden Gun
04:28
|

|
Look at Elora walking around in the rain
Everyone told her the sunshine ain't coming again
She gives you enough to ask yourself why
I know times are tough but please do not try
to make it better, we're all gonna die anyway
Do you wanna be my golden gun?
Do you wanna be my only one?
Look at Elora hovering over the sand
Trying to tell me something she don't understand
She gives you enough to ask yourself why
I know times are tough but please do not try
You're making it worse, we all wanna die anyway.
Do you wanna be my golden gun?
Do you wanna be my only one?

The white spaces were deafening
The posters wrapped in cellophane
When I'm sober, it's all the same
I am so bored, but it's okay
The bathroom tiles are echoing
The plastic smiles of suffering
I'm making plans to do nothing
You're holding hands and shivering
When I'm sober, it's all the same
I am so bored, without my
Superbossanovacocaine
Spinning round and round in my brain
If I don't get it I'll go insane
The headaches of recycling
The heartbreak of another day
I'm making plans to do nothing
You're breaking plans you had today
When I'm sober, it's all the same
Superbossanovacocaine
Going blind
But this happens to me all of the time
I swore I'd never do it again
But it's superbossanovacocaine
The white spaces were deafening
The posters wrapped in cellophane
I'm making plans to do nothing
Can't understand a single thing
When I'm sober, it's all the same

I Don't Wanna Die Now
05:39

I've never seen someone so beautiful
I've never had so much fun with you before
I've never sounded so fucking sappy
But when I look in your eyes I'm so happy
And I don't wanna die, now
So when you ask me what's wrong I'll scream and shout
that I don't wanna die, now
And I'm so afraid to throw it all away
Live gently, tread lightly
Give me a taste and watch me waste away
Not joking, I'm choking
When everything's going well
I make my personal hell
And though everything is fine
And you say that you're mine
Got my brain on the line and he tells me
That I don't wanna die, now
So when you ask me what's wrong I'll scream and shout
That I don't wanna die, now
I know nothing lasts forever
and that never got me down
I'm so glad that we're together
cause I know it's better now
And I don't wanna die, now

In My Dreams
03:42
|

|
In my dreams a temporary door
Yellow plastic gloves and black silk rope
So many people walking backwards
Into the ocean where they came from
But in my dreams I thought I saw you run
Do you wanna go home?
Daddy please I thought I saw the man
With batteries and pockets full of sand
So many people walking backwards
Into the ocean where they came from
But in my dreams I thought I saw you run
Do you wanna go home?
To a place where you belong
In my dreams a temporary void
Lying on your breasts and feeling bored
Do you wanna go home?
To a place where you belong

Boredom

What does it feel like when you're alone
Drowning in sunlight, everything's alright
What does it feel like taking me home
Driving through red lights, caught in the headlights
Feels like you don't know where I'm coming from
Sometimes I can't even bother
I'll be waiting here if you wanna come
Keep my head above the water
What does it feel like when everything's dumb
Sit by the ocean watching the waves come
What does it feel like when you're afraid
Look to the sky, talk to the airplanes
Feels like you don't know where I'm coming from
Sometimes I can't even bother
I'll be waiting here if you wanna come
Keep my head above the water

Nostalgia

When I lie awake
you know it's all the same in my brain
She said that there's no shame
in growing up today, but there's no way
I'm not gonna go easy
Tomorrow can't please me, like it's yesterday
The years go down the drain
Tastes like acid rain and gasoline
You are my everything
And in my dirty dark basement
In the past, home at last
I wrap myself in fake faces
Photographs, broken glass
You're not gonna go easy
I hope you still need me
Like I need you today
You know my memory's hazy
So don't call me crazy
If I want you to stay
You are my everything
You know I want to go back to
A time when I was young
You know I want to go back home

Do It Again
04:31

Call me up
When you think that you are going down
I promise to play my part
and break your heart
without a sound
And now
I'm sorry anyhow
So wait
Cause I don't wanna play your games
Yeah you're so cool
I forgot the rules
So let's do it again
Count me out
If you wanna do it over again
Forget the past
I'm home at last
Around the bend
And now
I'm sorry anyhow
But wait
I'm trying hard to stay awake
It's such a bore
Done this before
Can we do it again?
Watching the repeats
Day after day
I feel so happy
In my own way
So call me up
When you think that you are going down
Just say my name
I won't complain
You know I'm always around
And now
It's better anyhow
So wait
Don't you know it's getting late
It tastes so sweet
I'm on repeat
So let's do it again

Strange Disease
03:02
|

|
Close your eyes and see the world
Terrified of everyone
In the way of feeling normal
How long til we're having fun
A golden world of holding hands
The beck and call of your command
Slowly sinking in the sand
And reaching for the setting sun
I don't wanna do this over
I don't wanna do this over now
Suddenly, everything feels like a strange disease
Desperately, looking for something to set me free
Shut your mouth and speak the truth
Screaming it to everyone
Happiness has no excuse
So how long til we're having fun
I don't wanna do this over
I don't wanna do this over now
Suddenly, everything feels like a strange disease
Desperately, looking for something to set me free

Someone Like You
05:14

Follow me home on the side of the road in your mind
No one's around, you're alone, come and see what you find
On a street that has no name
There's a feeling
All the people look the same
As they always do
And in the park after dark there's a man who arrives
You ask him to show you the moon when you notice his eye
On a street that has your name
There's a feeling you can't explain
All the people look insane
You wanna believe everyone needs someone like you
But I want you to be someone like me so what do we do?
Followed you home on the side of the road in my mind
No one's around and I found what you're trying to find
It's on a street that has your name
There's a feeling you can't explain
All the people look insane, and they're just like
You wanna believe everyone needs someone like you
But I want you to be someone like me so what do we do?
You waste tonight
And I'll taste the morning light

And he drew them like mosquitoes to the light
But when he spoke they turned around and said goodnight
What a shame, what a sight
Cause you know that he was right...
