No Name #2

Concrete hands picked up the telephone ring
Do you know who's you're talking to?
No, and i don't care who
She whispered quiet terror news
He didn't give a hoot
Said do what you have to do
All she had to do was speak
Mouthpiece to cheek
Please say no more
I'm lying here on the ground
A strip of wet concrete
Her name was just a broken sound
A stutter step you hear when you're falling down
Killing time won't stop this crying
Killing time won't stop this crying
Killing time won't stop this crying
You better start watching what message that you send now
No more situations i only go in to be kicked out
He got knocked down leaning like he ran into a clothesline
And remembered a couple of words that hid a crime

Ballad Of Big Nothing

Throwing candy out to the crowd
Dragging down the main
The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth whos always got something
To say youre sitting at home now waiting for your brother to call
I saw him down at the alley
Having had enough of it all
Said you can do what you want to whenever you want to
You can do what you want to theres no one to stop you
All spit and spite youre up all night and down every day
A tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away
Getting in to the back of a car for candy from some stranger
Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger
You can do what you want to whenever you want to
You can do what you want to theres no one to stop you
Now you can do what you want to whenever you want to
Do what you want to whenever you want to
Do what you want to whenever you want to though it doesnt mean a thing
Big nothing

A Living Will

Time to kill ? living will and gave it to
The man in the moon
But Im gonna get by? soon this happy
Face is watching me die
Elevate me to another world
All that I can do on my own
Is leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
Circumstance dropped by uninvited and
Demanded ? ? ?
But Ive already gone to bed theres nothing
You can see from inside
My spirit arose and put on my clothes
And helped me disconnect to the phone
To leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
? ? ? I cant figure out this line at all ? ? ?
First its all a reaction, now its all ?

Miss Misery

Ill fake it through the day
With some help from johnny walker red
Send the poison rain down the drain
To put bad thoughts in my head
Two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothing to do
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do?
A man in the park
Read the lines in my hand
Told me Im strong
Hardly ever wrong I said man you mean
You had plans for both of us
That involved a trip out of town
To a place Ive seen in a magazine
That you left lying around
I dont have you with me but
I keep a good attitude
Do you miss me, miss misery
Like you say you do?

Brand New Game

Saw you talk near the slots
And I got a brand new game
Running down the alley with an hour you bought
From a man with no last name
Like an idiot animal
Too stupid to shame
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new, brand new game
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new game
Ape man in a cave
Painting on the wall
Nothings gonna keep the visions menacing glances
And nothing thats got it all
From gazing over to where hope sleeps
Artificially small
Like a beast to tame
Got a brand new game
Got a brand new, brand new game
Got a brand new game

I Better Be Quiet Now

Wish you gave me a number
Wish I could call you today,
Just to hear a voice.
I got a long way to go
Getting further away.
If I didnt know the difference,
Living alone would probably be ok.
It wouldnt be lonely.
I got a long way to go
Getting further away.
A lot of hours to occupy it was easy
When I didnt know you yet,
Things Id have to forget.
But I better be quiet now,
Im tired of wasting my breath
Carrying on, getting upset.
Maybe I have a problem,
But thats not what I wanted to say.
I prefer to say nothing.
I got a long way to go

Twilight

Haven't laughed this hard in a long time
I better stop now before I start crying
Go off to sleep in the sunshine
I don't want to see the day when it's dying
She's a sight to see, she's good to me
I'm already somebody's baby
She's a pretty thing and she knows everything
But I'm already somebody's baby
You don't deserve to be lonely
But those drugs you got won't make you feel better
Pretty soon you'll find it's the only
Little part of your life you're keeping together
I'm nice to you, I could make it through
That you're already somebody's baby
I could make you smile if you stayed a while
But how long will you stay with me baby
Because your candle burns too bright
Well, I almost forgot it was twilight
Even if I think that you are right
Well, I'm tired of being down, I got no fight

Untitled Song

Saw you walking around through old town
I thought you said you werent gonna be a hit no more
So Ill see little amanda
And Ill want to see you get like you got before
Amanda showed me a new party dress yesterday
Dancing to records he scratched
Two years of studying, making total opposites match
Little miss amanda wants to know how long youre going to be gone
And she asked me can I fix it so the record plays the rest of her song
She aint got a father now, cause hes buried below
Way up high in the sky with all the people she knows
Im seeing the crush kill the kid
The things you promised you never did
She asked me are you a pretty dancer
But I dont think Im gonna answer
Saw you walking around through old town
Thought you said you werent going to need to score
Cause you got a little baby now,
I dont wanna see youaround here no more.
Amanda showed me a new party dress yesterday

Alameda

You walk down alameda shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone
Like some precious only son
Face down, bow to the champion
You walk down alameda looking at the cracks in the sidewalk
Thinking about your friends
How you maintain all them in a constant state of suspense
For your own protection over their affection
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you cant finish what you start
Walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish
Could plague me when Im awake
And now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate
For one or two minutes she liked you
But the fix is in
Youre all pretension
I never pay attention
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you cant finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own because you cant finish what you start

Needle In The Hay

Your hand on his arm
The hay stack charm around your neck
Strung out and thin
Calling some friend trying to cash some check
Hes acting dumb
Thats what youve come to expect
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Hes wearing yr clothes
Head down to toes a reaction to you
You say you know what he did
But you idiot kid
You dont have a clue
Sometimes they just get caught in the eye
Youre pulling him through
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
