No Name #4

For a change she got out before he hurt her bad
Took her records and clothes
And pictures of her boy
It really made her sad
Packed it up and didn't look back
I'm okay lets just forget about him
The car was cold and it smelled like old cigarettes and pine
In her bag i saw things she drew when she was mine
Like this one here
Her alone nobody near
What a shame lets just not talk about it
No it doesn't look like you
But you did wear cowboy boots
That's your fame
There's no question about it
Once we got back inside
With one ear to the ground
I was ready to hide
'cos i don't know who's around
And you look scared

5. 15. 97

My flower would not unfold, always waiting for some sunnier day.
Quiet and patient, but afraid and hidden away.
And the awful truths been told, matter of fact
And I cant take it back and I wouldnt want to,
Or at least thats what I say.
Will you come out now?
Now that its too late for me to be in on the scene.
I hurt you bad, but you know youre a dream.
Do you want success, oh yeah.
Through somebody else, oh no no no no.
So start over, its been a time since youve had to.
Do you got your own thing? yeah.
What you want to do for now:stop taking everything back.
It confronts you just lying down.
Will you come out now?
Who would you do it for, unlucky charm, beautiful collapsing star?
Who would it be?
Why wasnt it me?

I Figured You Out

Seen you watching
Her every time she crosses the floor
So just go and talk to
Someone you really adore
Im getting pretty used to being
The one you always ignore
When somebody wants you
Ive seen it before
Youre every kind of color
There aint nothing that you wont claim
Your ambition and promise
And your addiction to fame
And everyones got a dollar
Sign after their name
When somebody wants you
You treat em just the same
So go on and pick up
You dont care what poison you choose
Or what person youll use
Shouldve been me, yeah

Last Hour

Here's the army
That you mowed to the ground
And the bodies you left lying around
Talking it out
The last hour
I'm through trying now
It's a big relief
I'll be staying down
Where no-one else gonna give me grief
Mess me around
Just make it over
Your opinion was the law of the land
A single thing that I couldn't always understand
I lived it out from hour to hour
The only thing that never really changed
You ran me all around
And dragged me down
At the end of the day
Don't keep me around
Just make it over

Alphabet Town

Alphabet city is haunted
Constantina feels right at home
She probably wont say youre wrong
But youre already wrong
Youre already wrong
And you threw up whatever she shot down
Said show me around this alphabet town
Said show me around
Theres a name you keep repeating
You got nothing better to do
And youre with someone wholl hear you say it and just nod
Her hand on your arm
Her hand on your arm
She put her hand on your arm
And told you her name you cant pronounce it
Ill show you around this alphabet town
Ill show you around this alphabet town
I know what you are
I just dont mind
I wont say youre wrong

7. 17. 94

They come here alone and they leave in twos
Except for you and me who just come to use if
Youre all done like you said youd be
What are you doin hangin out with me?
Why do you tell me stuff thats so plainly untrue?
If youll be straight with me, Ill be straighter with you
And if youre all done like you said youd been
What are you doin hangin out with me?
I havent wanted to do anything for a long time
But whatever you got right
Now, would probably suit me fine
And if youre all done like you said youd be
What are you doin hangin out with me?
I havent wanted to do anything for a long time
But whatever youre doin now
Would probably suit me fine
And if youre all done like you said youd be
What are you doin hangin out with me?
What are you doin hangin out with me?

Taking The Easy Way Out

Youll take advantage til you think youre being used
Cause without an enemy your anger gets confused
I got stuck on the side you know, I never chose
But its all about taking the easy way out for you I suppose
Theres no escape for you except in someone else
Although youve already disappeared within yourself
The invisible man whos always changing clothes
Its all about taking the easy way out for you I suppose
Well I dont want you making mistakes
I wish you luck I really do
But the problem with the puzzle
Whatevers left to you
I heard you found another audience to bore
A creative thinker who imagined you were more
A new body for you to push around and pose
Its all about taking the easy way out for you I suppose
Its all about taking the easy way out for you I suppose

No Name #1

At a party he was waiting
Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
Like he could be underwater
The mighty mother with her hundred arms
Swept all aside
I hate to walk behind other people's ambition
I saw you waiting
Saint like
With your warning
Leave alone
You don't belong here
He got nervous
Started whistling
Every thought a ricochet
Did you notice?
Well i wondered
What's the worst thing i could say?
And i froze up and sighed
You remind me of someones daughter
I forgot her

Easy Way Out

You'll take advantage, till you think you're being used
'Cause without an enemy your anger gets confused
And I got stuck on a side you know I never chose
But it's all about
Taking the easy way out for you
I suppose
There's no escape for you, except in someone else
Although you've already disappeared within yourself
The invisible man, who's always changing clothes
It's all about
Taking the easy way out for you
I suppose
While I watch you making mistakes
I wish you luck, I really do
With the problem, with the puzzle
Whatever's left of you
I heard you found another audience to bore
Creative thinker, you imagined you were more
A new body for you to push around and pose
It's all about taking the easy way out for you
