there's a mountain where it doesn't belong
in another world where right is wrong
and the only news is a raging kong
on morgantown volcano
well it seems the curse of emptiness
is not unique to this address
and it don't hurt any less
on morgantown volcano
expect the unexpected
wherever you reside
you may think you're protected
and god is on your side
but then you wake up in the morning
somewhere you don't know
and you watch the raging fires
on morgantown volcano

neighbor, please

we were two new faces on the block
and we were waiting for those animals to come to us
they can't play guitar
so they stab at my car in the night
while I doze
and sigh a love song
to their wives
maybe I just thought I heard you say
what you used to do to keep a howling wolf away
you'd stay out of sight
then surround them at night
with the fire
is that why the rent keeps
creeping up higher
neighbor, please neighbor, please
it's easy
we can play or we can stay apart
but if you see me and I seem to be sleeping
just walk away
I'm in a state
some kinda Idaho
neighbor i've come to bring you terrible news
we both cannot win and we both cannot lose
the ties that have bound us by now
they fall down to the ground
and our snouts press
and the outcome's now

actually, it's over
okay but can you repeat that again
actually, the end
I didn't want this to be the end
I didn't want this to be the end
I was lost when I saw the bend in the river
if yr compassion fatigue permits
could you help so they don't forget
the caregiver
actually, it's over
okay but really it's not over, right
actually, it might
I didn't want this to end tonight
I didn't want this to end tonight
but the later we wait for light it grows dimmer
if yr compassion fatigue allows
could you smile when they ask about
the caregiver
I didn't want this to be the end
I'm alone and I can't pretend to be with her
and from a shore on another coast
I will try to becalm the ghost of
the caregiver

finally, my appetite has overwhelmed my inhibition
and I can say goodnight to doubt, fear, pain, and superstition
If I had met you way back then
with all I know about you know
well maybe we could tell a friend
before I met you I was out of mind

the screw

when I'm with you I don't know why
I'm so insecure
like I'm back at school
eyes on the floor
turning every word to powder
looking for a clue
what you're thinking when I talk to you
you don't say anything
you turn the screw
I lose sleep wondering
it's all I ever do
you came out of a cloud
like you do it everyday
you cut down the crowd
like a gamma ray
flooding deep into the marrow
yes it's that severe
and though it's obvious
I'm close to tears, here
you don't say anything
you turn the screw
hung over wondering
it's all I ever do
in your eyes
i see no deception
if that was all it took
i wouldn't mind
but tell me why

something odd
02:14
|
|

|
oh god i'm only getting older now
the sweet surreal years
are they over now?
can i live without something odd about?
what are these images in my memory
i can't pin them down
or guarantee
they belong to me
who could that face be?
and it's real to me
as real as something should be
out in light of day
better to be suspended in space
miles away

how can they walk
the way that they used to walk?
the barrytones used to walk
down my street
when i was seventeen
and afraid of my own shadow
do you know what i mean?
when i say they were so...
how can they play
the way that they used to play?
but it says they are going to play
this evening
here come the barrytones
everything's changed
it's different in every way
there won't be another day
like this day
here come the barrytones
