In Yer Car

Outside in the wild blue unknown with my hand clenched in a fist in my pocket, So dry and a cold wind stings my lips when I'm home staying up just as late as I can, I've tried to keep a steady hold on myself but I lose a bit more every time
In the yard the sun had long since gone to bed the stars were scattered far and wide, You sigh and say "I wish we were that far from this place it doesn't matter really anywhere but here" in flight feeling the pull of pushing off and the pull the simultaneous draw from there and home
In yer car on the way out of town you tell me that you love me bliss like molten gold as the the is setting on the shoreline I am brought to tears, to tears! In the passenger seat and I realize that this is all we need to be "alive and well" and well
Take your lovers by the hand and get out of town take the warmth in your chest and spread it around take your lovers by the hand and get the hell out of here! Take the warmth in yer chest and get the hell outta town.

SUPPERGRRLUNK
I don't want you
to come around anymore
we, we are done
don't darken my door
Chorus
You oughta come sit by my side
Hey haven't I seen you before
you were holding flowers
down by the pier at night
I, I don't know what is to come
make it all up as I go along
"real life"
lifts away
Chorus
I, I don't know which way to turn
I wish I was made of glass
I would crash back to sand
lightning flash back to glass
I wish I was made was made of glass

BLOOD BATH
This life is a blood bath and your in it
This life is a race can you win it?
on the inside track of the wars of man
I don't think we can oh no well
I think we're all gonna get it soon
I tried to get back to el Dourado
Dolcissimo con molto rubato (Italian: sweetly with lots of robbed time)
Where the roads are all paved with gold
and the kids never grow old
But I lost my way somewhere
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

CHET'S DEAD
One day much like this
I'm gonna get up and leave you
It won't be the same
Ok I lied, I lied
Right to your face
over at your place
Woe is a dish I've eaten
is a dish I detedted
is a dish I'm always served
Woe is a worn overcoat
it's always hanging on
it's a degrading slow
One day, someday
I'm gonna get up and leave you
it won't be the same
and I'm not coming back
I'm not waiting for the wind to blow
Woman I'm gonna leave you
without a single problem in my head
ok I lied, I can't lie
If it's neither helping nor hindering then I'll likely move on
Where am I gonna lay my head?
Where am I gonna lay my head?
Where am I going to If not beside you?
I know I'll never have to cry
Where I am going to
lowdown lady
all over my face
I won't share it with you no more
I'm going to a better place
Some people call that dying darling
maybe you should too
I will be dead to you
I will be dead to you
I'm never coming back
Woe is a tired and sorry statement
nobody in the whole neighbourhood want to hear anymore about it
Woe is a dish I love
cause only a dish you love
is one you can't get enough of
This time I'm leaving darling
I'm not gonna come back
I'm not gonna come back
now that my life is so black
I'm going in the ground

VERNAL EQUINOX
I get so depressed
when September rears it's ugly head
I can't maintain my composure
when the days seem to get slower
I wanna kneel down and get some dirt on my hands
I wanna let my heels sink into the sand
all of my problems are so atomic
and some friends are hyperbolic
Everything that happens from now on
can be soothed by the warm belly
of the first world
everything is soothed by money
Hey, ask God: why am i alone?
You only have one body
Hey, ask God: why do I forget?
You only have one mind
Hey, ask God: when's he coming down?
When's he coming down?
When's he coming down?

COPS
I went down to the mouth of the canyon with a plan of attack
I never planned never planned not to come back
I wasn't planning on it
I disappeared into nothing without a trace
now thats a trial thats a trial that no one should face
nobody in the world
Oh yeah, nobody's ready for that
Oh yeah! nobody in the world
They had been waiting for the first twenty years of my life
they knew exactly when I'd be there they knew when I'd arrive
and they knew when to strike
I had been waiting for the first twenty years of my life
I knew exactly when I'd be there and I knew when I'd arrive
and I knew when to strike!
Oh yeah, They knew I was alive
Oh yeah, That wouldn't last too long
It was the middle of the song when they shone that light
I wondered why in my eye that shone that light so bright
I had to stop and squint
I don't know why I went down to the track at night
a bad idea, perhaps the last one I'd make in this life
the cops are bustin in
oh yeah now they know where we live
oh yeah the cops are bustin in

HILARY
Once as we strolled down a road to a show in New Brunswick
Suddenly I saw something I had never seen before
In your eyes there was strength and security
Hilary I can't wait to see what you'll be
"I love you, I came to Canada and I fell in love!"
"We Love you too! We want you to comw back and meet the kids"
There is a light at the end of a long dark tunnel
Waiting for you to extinguish and become your own light
Worry not my child you are surrounded by those who love you
and all you are
I blame you for making me feel incomplete when I'm alone
I've seen the truth and it's left me shaking like a leaf out on the tree
By myself do I feel good?
an empty shell of weakened wood
Should I stay or should I leave
in this house with no company?
I want you to be like me
I want you to see what I see
All that is around you is your's for the taking
and I want you to be like me
