Harborcoat

They crowded up to lenin with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if its all that youve got
Metal shoes on wood push through our back
Theres a splinter in your eye and it reads react
They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out
She gathered the corners and called it her gown
Please find my harborcoat, cant go outside without it
Find my harborcoat, cant go outside without it
They crowded up to lenin with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if its all that youve got
Metal shoes on wood push through our back
Theres a splinter in your eye and it reads react, r-e-a-c-t
They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out
She gathered the corners and called it her gown
She said...

Baby, I

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Baby, I dont want to be seen with you
Baby, I got better things to do
Baby, I dont wanna hang around with you
Baby, I got better things to do
Cause I know youre out with other guys
Well I know youre goin to tell me lies
Baby, I should have held you when I had the chance
Baby, I could have blew it when I never learned how to dance
Well I know youre out with other guys
And I know youre gonna tell me lies
I wait at home every night
I never leave on my back porch light
Im hoping you wont come back
Cause if you do Ill wanna die
Baby, I dont wanna hang around with you
Baby, I got better things to do
Well, I know youre out with other guys
Well, I youre gonna tell me lies
Baby, I should have held you when I had the chance

Radio Free Europe

Beside yourself if radios gonna stay.
Reason: it could polish up the grey.
Put that, put that, put that up your wall
That this isnt country at all
Raving station, beside yourself
Keep me out of country in the word
Deal the porch is leading us absurd.
Push that, push that, push that to the hull
That this isnt nothing at all.
Straight off the boat, where to go?
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free europe
Beside defying media too fast
Instead of pushing palaces to fall
Put that, put that, put that before all
That this isnt fortunate at all
Raving station, beside yourself
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio free europe, radio.
Decide yourself, calling all of the medias too fast

Letter Never Sent

Its been pretty simple so far, vacation in athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought Id left you behind
Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heavens yours where I live
The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home
This letter never sent
And its so far, its so dark, Im so lost
Heavens yours, heavens yours, heavens yours where I live
(another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
When Im moving too fast, wheres my new address?
The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark
And its so far, its so dark, Im so lost
And its so far, its so far, its so far
Heavens yours, heavens yours, heavens yours where I live
(another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
Heavens yours, heavens yours, heavens yours where I live
(another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

Losing My Religion

Life is bigger
Its bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no Ive said too much
I set it up
Thats me in the corner
Thats me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I dont know if I can do it
Oh no Ive said too much
I havent said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour im
Choosing my confessions

Mystery To Me

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Living in cities, living in cars
Living the way you never wanted to
Living in alleys, living it down
Living the way you always thought youd do
Shakin it up shakin it down
Shakin the way you never wanted to
Living in cities, living in cars
Living the way you always thought
Youd do
You feel so old, I feel so new
Tell me what you want me to
Do you want me to go all night
Do you want me to tell you youre all
Right
Living in cities, living in cars
Living the way you never wanted to
Lord, I feel so new
Tell me what you want me to do
And its a mystery to me

Daysleeper

Receiving dept 3 a m
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
Directives are posted
No callbacks complaints
Everywhere is calm
Hong kong is present
Taipei awakes
All talk of circadian rhythm
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Daysleeper
The bull and the bear are marking
Their territories
Theyre leading the blind with
Their international glories
Im the screen the blinding light
Im the screen I work at night
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Dont wake me with so much

Sad Professor

If were talking about love
Then I have to tell you
Dear readers Im not sure where Im headed
Ive gotten lost before
Ive woke up stone drunk
Face down in the floor
Late afternoon the house is hot
I started I jumped up
Everyone hates a bore
Everyone hates a drunk
This may be a lit invention
Professors muddled in their intent
To try to rope in followers
To float their malcontent
As for this reader
Im already spent
Late afternoon the house is hot
I started I jumped up
Everyone hates a sad professor
I hate where I wound up

Losing My Relgion

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions

Its A Free World Baby

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
I was hungry when I said
I never got to sleep
You go ahead
You can get whatever you want
Theres a feeling in my belly
The new tomorrow scene
Its an interesting job
Its the fireworks
(chorus 1)
I dont need it (I dont need it)
I hit my head (he hit his head)
I cant feel anything
You gave too much away
You came to say
Its a free world baby
And you gave too much away
Hey, hey
Get whatever you want
Get whatever you want
