Tears on the sleave of a man don't wanna be a boy today heard the
eternal footman bought himself a bike to race and Greg he writes
letters and burns his CDs they say you were something in those
formative years hold onto nothing as fast as you can well still

Maybe a bright sandy beach is gonna bring you back may not so now
you're off you're gonna see America well let me tell you something
about America pretty good year some things are melting now well what's
it gonna take till my baby's alright
and Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen sometimes he's aware
that they're drawing him in Lucy was pretty your best friend agreed
well still pretty good year
Bells for Her
and throught the life force and there goes her friend on her Nishiki
it's out of time and through the portal they can make amends
hey would you say whatever we're blanket friends can't stop what's
coming can't stop what is on its way
and through the walls they made their mudpies I've got your mind I
said she said I've your voice I said you don't need my voice girl
you have your own but you never thought it was enough of so they
went years and years like sisters blanket girls always there through
that and this there's nothing we cannot ever fix I said
can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way Bells and
footfalls and soldiers and dolls brothers and lovers she and I were
and now she seems to be sand under his shoes there's nothing I can do
can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way
and now I speak to you are you in there you have her face and her
eyes but you are not her and we go at each other like blank ettes
who can't find their thread and their bare
Past The Mission
I don't believe I went too far I said I was willing she said she knew
what my books did not I thought she knew what's up
Past the mission behind the prison tower past the mission I once knew
a hot girl past the mission they're closing every hour past the
mission I smell the roses
She said they all think they know him well she knew him better
everyone wanted something from him I did too but I shut my mouth
he just gave me a smile
Hey they found a body not sure it was his but they're using his name
and she gave him shelter and somewhere I know she knows something
only she knows
Baker Baker
Baker Baker baking a cake make me a day make me whole again and I
wonder what's in a day what's in your cake this time
I guess you heard he's gone to LA he says that behind my eyes I'm
hiding and he tells me I pushed him away that my heart's been hard
to find
here there must be something here there must be something here here
Baker Baker can you explain if truly his heart was made of icing and
I wonder how mine could taste maybe we could change his mind
I know you're late for your next parade you came to make sure that
I'm not running well I ran from him in all kinds of ways guess it
was his turn this time
time thought I'd made friends with time thought we'd be flying maybe
not this time
Baker Baker baking a cake make me a day make me whole again and I
wonder if he's ok if you see him say hi
The Wrong Band
I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band Ginger is always
sincere just not to one man she calle dme up and she said you know
that I'm drowning it's the dog trainer again he says that he thinks
that she needs more hands
I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band Senator let's be
sincere as much as you can he called her up and he said the new
prosecutor soon will be wanting a word so she's got a soft spot for
heels and spurs and there's something believin in her voice again
said there's something believin instead of just leavin
And she gets her cigars from the sweet fat man I think it's perfectly
clear we're in the wrong band Heidi says she'll be sincere as much as
she can I called her up and I said you know that I'm drowning put on
your raincoat again cause even the sun's got a price on it and there's
something believin in her voice again said there's something believin
instead of just leavin
She said it's time I open my eyes don't be afraid to open your eyes
maybe she's right maybe she's right maybe she's right maybe she's
right
The Waitress
So I want to kill this waitress She's worked here a year longer than I
if I did it fast you know that's an act of kindness
But I believe in peace I believe in peave Bitch I believe in peace

sky Boys all think she's living kindness ask a fellow waitress ask a
fellow waitress
