      Lyrics

      Say, now listen here
      I wanna be oh so clear
      I lost myself
      Lost I’ll stay
      Between your hands and my belief
      And here I am, frail
      Frail and bedazzled from all the glare
      Tug at my sleeve
      My little girl, supermaid
      She don’t know that I have
      Stole my smile from a Cheshire cat
      And all I wanted was to be a man
      Since I’ve gave up
      I feel free
      I feel free
      I feel free
      I feel free
      Two of us less dangerous
      It’s all inside our heads
      Givin’ in for nothin’ less
      Leavin’ me for him
      Try to understand
      The ones I love and their demands
      It’s so unfair when they can’t see
      That I’m the boy that really needs
      Their love, I suppose

      Lyrics

      Oh yeah, another day

      Oh yeah, gotta play

      What it is, it never was

      I don’t care to give enough

      My boredom has outshined the sun

      It’s so down low

      I just want to have some little fun

      Oh yeah, another day

      Oh yeah, what a waste

      What it is, it never was

      I don’t care, or give a fuck

      My boredom has outshined the sun

      It’s so down low

      I just want to have some little fun

      Bring me down

Frail and gentle- it is what is. Rock power x 100. Note scary ending we would play that part for 15 minutes dum-de-dum-de-dum."

      I wasted all my years
      Been chasin’ all my fears
      For another brighter than him
      I gave in long ago
      To make it to the show
      But it’s not easy
      When you’re alone
      All your prayers
      In my ears
      Don’t you care
      Whir yourself around
      Just to fall back down
      Whir yourself around
      My honey little girl
      C’mon lets go for a whirl
      It’s still early
      The sun is sleeping
      She says she wants to marry me
      She says she wants a baby
      It’s not easy
      When you’re scared
      Whir yourself around

      You know it will come true

      Stay awake, I lie here
      With her and I fall
      And when I wake inside you
      I know you know I’m yours
      Blew, blew away
      But I don’t wanna fade
      Blew, blew
      And if you’re sad, too
      Until the angel sings and touches you
      Don’t confuse my only life
      As it blew, and please don’t ever leave
      And I will grieve, and remember thee
      Hope to meet you there
      And I wanna let her know
      That I won’t let her go
      I wanna let her know
      That I love her so

      Lyrics

      Lost your head

      Now you sleep on the floor

      What you said

      I don’t want anymore

      Through the haze

      Make your eyes up to ache

      Out in space

      Days away

      Through these eyes

      I rely on all I’ve seen

      Obscured

      Through these eyes

      It looks like I’m home tonight

      Left for dead

      As you sweep out the poor

      Things we said

      We don’t mean anymore

      Tear inside her

      Like a fallen kite

      Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, yeah

      Through these eyes

      I deny on all I’v seen

      Obscured

      Through these eyes

      Ooks like I’m home tonight

      Made a mess of me

      I don’t want

      Lyrics

      I took my love and took it down
      I climbed a mountain, I turned around
      And I saw my reflection in a snow covered hill
      Till the landslide brought it down
      Mirror in the sky, what is love
      Can the child within my heart rise above
      Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
      Can I handle the seasons of my life
      Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
      Built my life around you
      Time makes you bolder
      Even children get older
      And I’m getting older too
      Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I’ve
      Built my life around you
      Time makes you bolder
      Even children get older
      And I’m getting older too
      I’m getting older too
      I took my love and took it down
      I climbed a mountain, I turned around
      And if you see my reflection in a snow covered hill
      The landslide brought it down
      The landslide brought it down

And she said, no my name is Darla but hey Starla, Darla whatever it doesn't matter, so there you go. Never trust a girl who ends up with well I can't say."

      Watching the world pass us by
      Never want to come down
      Never want to come down
      Never want to come down
      Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
      See the stars, they’re shining bright
      Everything’s all right tonight
      See the stars, they’re shining bright
      Everything’s all right tonight
      Never let me down

      Lyrics

      I spin off and lose my head

      Throwing stray a spark instead

      Gather strength down in my heel

      And dig it in the world I peel

      Way down deep within my heart

      Lies a soul that’s torn apart

      Tell me, tell me what your after

      I just want to get there faster

      I don’t live – I inhale

      I don’t give – I unveil

      Don’t want to live in your misery

      I don’t live – I inhale

      Sprinkle all my kisses on your head

      Stars full of wishes fill our beds

      She said, “I’m dead”

      All this pain smothers me

      Like a bomb that you can’t see

      Tell me, tell me what your after

      I just want to get there faster

      I don’t live – I inhale

      I don’t give – I unveil

      I don’t live – I inhale

      I don’t live

      Lyrics

      Ride on, motherfucker
      Sister above
      Lead on my lover
      Daddy’s not comin’ home
      So long my mother
      So long ago
      She loves me like a lover
      Every house is now your home
      Even though you lied to me
      We love you
      Right on, motherfucker
      Sister above
      Yeah, my lover
      Every house is now your home

      Lyrics

      I asked him if he could spare some ozone

      ‘Cause i didn’t have any in my pocket

      Does anyone really know what time it is?

      Does anyone really care?

      Does anyone really know what time it is?

      And I say, “hey clown, can you spare a dime?”

      Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday

      Who wears those flowers in your hair

      With or without you

      Where the streets have no name

      Desire

      Ma, take this badge off of me

      I don’t need it anymore

      Does anyone really know what time it is?

      Yeah, yeah

      [garbled/distorted]

      Lyrics

      I am one as you are three
      Try to find messiah in your trinity
      Your city to burn
      Your city to burn
      Try to look for something
      In your city to burn, you’ll burn
      Am I as I seem?
      I’m down
      Down, so down
      Time is right for a guiding light
      Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
      Your city to burn
      Your city to burn
      Try to look for something
      In your city to burn, you’ll burn
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you, I am one
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you, I am one
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you, I am one

      Additional Info: From Jesse Miller's Studio Recordings History (2000): "An alternate acoustic version of Mayonaise (erroneously dubbed a demo) was included on the 1991-1998 promo; this is actually an alternate mix of the released studio version, featuring the slightly phased acoustic click track (which can be heard on the album version notably at 3:35) and a tambourine."

      Lyrics

      Fool enough to almost be it

      Cool enough to not quite see it

      Doomed

      Pick your pockets full of sorrow

      And run away with me tomorrow

      June

      We'll try and ease the pain

      But somehow we'll feel the same

      Well, no one knows

      Where our secrets go

      I send a heart to all my dearies

      When your life is so, so dreary

      Dream

      I'm rumored to the straight and narrow

      While the harlots of my perils

      Scream

      And I fail

      But when I can, I will

      Try to understand

      That when I can, I will

      Mother weep the years I'm missing

      All our time can't be given

      Back

      Shut my mouth and strike the demons

      That cursed you and your reasons

      Out of hand and out of season

      Out of love and out of feeling

      So bad

      When I can, I will

      Words defy the plans

      When I can, I will

      Fool enough to almost be it

      And cool enough to not quite see it

      And old enough to always feel this

      Always old, I'll always feel this

      No more promise no more sorrow

      No longer will I follow

      Can anybody hear me

      I just want to be me

      When I can, I will

      Try to understand

      That when I can, I will
