Do you know what's beautiful when you've seen what's not?
Do you know what's beautiful 'cause you've seen what's not?
I don't know where to go. Baby, baby let's go to your show!
I don't know what to do. Baby, baby I will see you through.
3am, once again, that's all I want to see.
Maybe we could catch a movie... Get in for free!
I just want you, baby. I just want you now.
I just want you, baby. I just want you now.
Do you know what's beautiful when you've seen what's not?
Do you know what's beautiful when you've seen what's not?
I don't know where to go. Baby baby let's see your show.
I don't know what to do. Baby baby will you see me through?
3am once again, that's all I need to see.
Maybe we could have some fun and catch a midnight movie.
I just want you, baby. I just want you now.
I just want you, baby. I just want you now.

Feeling all chewed up again,
Manny can I borrow a pen?
Wait, a pencil will do-
Never mind, in fact,
It's got nothing t'do with you.
Years wasted like fall firewood,
Manny, can I borrow a coat,
A pillow, some money and booze?
Never mind, my friend, I've asked enough from you.
But I've lost all my buddies,
Except for a few,
Driving off, without a hug,
Into the muggy blue.
Feeling awful small,
Manny can I make anything at all?
What's a poem without it's muse?
No I ain't saying that it's you.
But I've lost all my buddies,
Except for a few,
Driving off, without a hug,
Into the muggy blue.

Time to Wake Up

Time to wake up...
Time to wake up...
You said the world was old news to you. Well it's time you see that there's more when you breathe, oh yeah!
You used to say it was, "work till you drop" so you must've lost your mind just to be in love, just to be in love.
What ever happened to "love for all"? Was it just a movement that died? Just some hippies, just some hippies on a ride...
You said that I've gotta give up my hands. Well you've gotta give up the ghost, and be in love in love in love again.
Even if Friedrich cried on his death bed, he still lived a better life than the afraid-to-live, didn't he?
You already have what you need.
You already have what you need.
You said that I've gotta give my hands. You gotta give up the ghost and be in love in love in love again!
If Friedrich cried on his deathbed, he still lived a better life than the afraid-to-live, didn't he?
Hop on this train we're goin' to Sils Maria. It's time we make like thieves and say, "hello" on the job.
Yes we do, yes we do. Stealin' time, we are. It's all we do. Stealin' time, yes we are.
Lemme tell ya 'bout it. Lemme tell ya 'bout it. And lemme tell ya 'bout it, and lemme tell ya 'bout IT!

Taylor, I don't know you, but I really wanna show you around.
I can't show you all the city, 'cause I never leave my hole in the ground.
I can show you all the empires I've built in my head,
Show you cathedral halls filled with songs of the dead.
I can show you 'bout anything you want,
But I still live in a shed.
Taylor, you don't see me in the papers on the T.V. oh no.
But it's only 'cause I'm squeamish 'bout the 24 hour media, oh no.
I'd be goddamned famous if I wanted to,
Like Ozymandias, but tell me how did he do?
And I know I'm preaching to the choir, 'cause you're human too,
But I live in a shed. Do you?
Taylor, I make money, but it's not enough for honey to share.
And they wonder why we nary ever seldom do get married and hitched.
We can't afford the canopy;
All the hors d'oeuvres and things that make the video sweet,
All we can afford is a donkey with cans on his feet,
And he'll take us back to my shed...

Rocky Springs

You were sixteen in '93, livin' down in the old country.
Nowhere to go, nowhere at all.
I loved you and you loved me, skippin' stones at the Rocky Springs.
Nothin' to do, nothin' at all.
Walk me down by the town graveyard. Your mother calls, says we've gone too far. How the hell are you now?
Let's go for a walk at Rocky Springs.
Cheap beer in the park at Rocky Springs.
A copperhead in the water.
And now we must go home.
You left me right when I left you. We both regret it. What are ya gonna do? It's not a thing, anyway.
The movies were scary and your friends were staring. I don't blame them. Some were glaring. Who gives a shit anyway?
My brain can hurt but it's not that bad. Sometimes we're happy, sometimes sad. All in all, we love each other.
Let's go for a walk at Rocky Springs.
Cheap beer in the tents at Rocky Springs.
Light a pipe with friends.
And now we're Country Squires.
Let's go for a walk at Rocky Springs.
Cheap beer in the tents at Rocky Springs.
A copperhead in the water.
And now we must go home.
And now we must go home.

Umbria
03:52

Three days without a meal,
and the idols smashed like river glass.
Pebbles in a stream.
Asterius, are you serious? Oh man.
Saint Valentine, what are you looking for,
in a blind girl's milky eyes?
What's going on in Umbria?
What is the name of the daughter of Asterius?
Oh wait, it's Julia- I read that in a book.
Why are we talking 'bout Helen of Troy?
If she can't see her, then her looks don't matter.
Three days without a rest,
What do you dream of in the wraith world?
So tell me sideways,
What's going on in Umbria (x3)
Three days without a meal,
and the idols smashed like river glass.
Pebbles in a stream.
Asterius, are you serious? Oh no.

Marianne,
Been a couple days,
We're all getting worried.
Marianne,
Packed you something in a brown paper bag on the back porch,
In case you get hungry.
Marianne,
Where'd you go? Oh no.
Was it far away?

Sam sung. Sam never sang.
Sam run. Sam run away.
You listen to me. I listen to you.
You listen to me. I listen to you.
Sam sung. Sam never sang.
Sam come. Sam never came.
You listen to me. I listen to you.
You listen to me. I listen to you.
Sam, Sam played his last hand.
Sam, Sam played his last hand.
Sam, Sam played his last hand.
Sam, Sam played a beautiful hand.
Sam Sung. Sam never sang.
Sam run. Sam ran away.
Ooooh oooooh oooooh.
Uh oooooh oooooh ooooh!

Little Man
03:09

Little man, not physically small,
But he ain't all that important and he's going bald.
Resents his children and his meddling wife,
He hates all the smiling people in his little life.
Wielding middling power, with middle-aged rage,
Turning red and squealing, like a boy half his age.
Little man, aren't you glad daddy bought you a store?
If he hadn't, you'd be the worst thing...
American and poor.
Little man saw the virus roll in,
So he cut all the wages by twenty-five percent.
Blamed his daughters, and his loyal wife;
Gotta keep 'em safe when the numbers ain't right.
Wielding middling power, with middle-aged rage,
He saw a facebook video that made him feel okay.
Little man, aren't you glad daddy bought you a store?
If he hadn't, you'd be the worst thing...
American and poor.
Little man, got horns on his jeep,
Makes him feel real powerful when-
BEEP BEEP BEEP-
He lays on the horn: his driving song.
He deserves to cruise along.
Little man, he skims the tips,
So he can buy a jacuzzi, and feel real rich.
King of tacky, petty and fake,
Needs two weeks of notice, to make the schedule late.
In a gusto of sighs, he does two hours work.
"Everything is hard and everyone's a jerk."
Little man, aren't you glad daddy bought you a store?
If he hadn't, you'd be the worst thing...
American and poor.
Shame on you, you should've been born with what I had (to fade).

Who do you think that you are?
You're not you. You're not me. You're not you.
Where did you get that idea?
Not from me. Not from you. Not from me.
You don't even ask for a Chuki.
You never once held my hand.
You never once knew my name, did you?
Will you be my deserted bride?
Will you walk side by side?
Why did the fox cross the road?
You don't know. Nor I. Nor you.
You'll look for your Mother Goose.
Will you? You will. I know.
You don't even ask for a Chuki.
You made your two new best friends.
Ask them to go down to the rabbit square.
