Turn Back for a Byrd
01:30
|
|||
Have you ever turned back for a byrd?
It may sound weird but I know it's not absurd
And I don't why I try
To tell myself I can't get by
Unless I have her
When she left I knew that was the end
Unless I find away to go and get her again
And I don't why I try
To tell myself I can't get by
Unless I have her
Once upon a time
A strange fowl
Caught my eye
Have you ever turned back for a byrd?
I know you feel the same but you don't have to take my word

My Degeneration
01:09
|
|||
We employed our lack of fruition
To enjoy our x-ray vision
We don't need a spark of ambition
To relate to our decisions
'Cause we won't live long
We were so out of commission
Realized a blank expression
We returned the art of submission
To destroy our bleak direction

Short Coming Queen
02:09
|
|||
One fling to comfort me
Three cheers shortcoming queen
Take my hand and leave my heart
Use your tongue for a poison dart
You call my name
Nothing's the same
Leave it all behind 'cause you know it doesn't matter to me
I feel better I feel bold
I kissed the King of Marigold
Someone's daughter fled the scene
Let's hear for shortcoming queen

White Omega
02:54
|
|||
There was a time when I made room in my heart for you
I played the fool 'til there's no one left to answer to
Seeing you is on my laundry list of things to do
Do you still keep a schoolgirl wish for me and you?
It's not your fault
It's not my fault
Stalemate
It's over
No one has won
We say let's be friends
Our time is done
Everyday is just the same old thing without you
Far away is just the distance I'm accustomed to
I don't care is just a way to say I hate you
Nevermind is just an album I listen to
I'm sick and you're tired
This game is no fun
You say let's move on
I'm already gone

Transylvania Blood Drive
02:00
|
|||
I lost my touch
Can I borrow yours?
To show you things I know your man ignored
Take a rest
Then we'll start again
Close your eyes then I'll count to ten
|
||||
6. |
||||
There you are here I am
And it's lonely once again
And it never seems to end
Dressing up going out
You're not shy when it really counts
The attention brings it out
I'm always a lifetime away
You give them chances
When any boy steals your glances
They hear your call and
They catch you when you're ready to fall
But I ain't like those guys
You surround yourself around
'Cause they always let you down
I'll be here it's true
when you're ready to be through
when you know what's right for you

Paper Aviator
02:14
|
|||
If you come
I'll take you there
Expand your mind
And dare to dare
You don't know
Lysergic fingers won't be seen
Your silhouette is turning green
You don't know
If all is fine
And you are mine
Then don't decline me
You came down

Town of Tears
02:34
|
|||
The house was shaking like a hand grenade
And then I found you stuck on the roof
Two notes shy of a serenade
Call me when you get some more proof
Dial tones from tin can telephones
I wish I had a quarter to spare
Finer moments in your memory
You're making it a formal affair
The sky was singing and the birds were blue
Maybe it was really the truth
I left my Mondays in a paper bag
Just about an hour from Duluth
Does it it matter anyway?
Tell myself that I'm ok
Town of tears I pine for you
If you're the mayor then I'm the fool

Why are You Always On?
01:37
|
|||
Why are you always on my mind?
How do you do what you do?
And do I do the same to you?
Oh girl I wish that you knew
Yes it's true
So are you the girl I should blame?
And do I make you feel the same?
Everything without you is so lame
Yes it's true
I never worry
'Cause I'm in no hurry
All I've got is time
So make up your mind
|
||||
10. |
||||
Talking like a rocking chair
You bit your lip and twirled your hair
I'll stay true dear though you're not here
Please come back someday
You've gone to where the bruises bloom
I'd like to come but there's no room

Vixen Red Velvet
02:21
|
|||
It's vixen red
Vixen red velvet
I'm a pretty shitty sleeper
When you're lying next to me
It's velvet red
Velvet red vixen
I'm a pretty shitty liar
I only miss you when I blink
And vixen should you find yourself
Outside my mind well that's not fine
Don't be afraid to shoot me out of the sky
It's vixen red
Vixen red velvet
The girls in moving pictures
Got nothing on you
It's velvet red
Velvet red vixen
It's a pretty shitty corner
To be painted into

Something for the Mrs.
02:13
|
|||
She said
Hey boy
You bring me much joy
So you better move fast
Because my love won't last
Oh I got this feeling
I hope I'm not revealing
If I'm not on your mind
Then why you waste my time
I said
My my baby
You're a sweet young lady
Just slow things down if you want me around
Oh I got this feeling
I hope I'm not revealing
If I'm not on your mind
Then why you waste my time
Just let me know or let me go

Take me where your reign is good
Where lovers leave and it's understood
Your sleeves are short and your bangs are long
It's not alright but it's not all wrong
Girls born in '84
Leave me where you left me before
I'm taking takers on the shore
My sleeves are long and my bangs are short
I'd kill to be killed to not be ignored
|
||||
14. |
||||
I know you despise me
It shows in everything
I know you run your mouth
I know you know I know
You cross my path I'll put you down
I've heard too many lies
I'm plotting you demise
It only serves you right
I know you know I know
