Blind Dance 02:08
BLIND DANCE I just saw god I the girl who was working at the coffee shop Then I heard a song And I realized I'm not seeing you for who you are Don't know if I ever will Cause you give me a thrill more than prescription pills And when you call it tastes better than alcohol Now all I wanna know if where the blind people go so they can see I got broken eyes So I go to the doctor with the laserlight Then he says I'm fixes And now I see the things that everybody did Don't know if I ever will Cause you give me a thrill more than prescription pills And when you call it tastes better than alcohol Now all I wanna know if where the blind people go so they can dance Don't know if I ever will Cause you give me a thrill more than prescription pills And when you call it tastes better than alcohol Now all I wanna know if where the blind people go so they can dance They can dance...

THE BLUE AEROPLANE Take me to Canada take me to Spain Fly me somewhere on the Blue Aeroplane Cause I melt in the shower and fall down the drain But I reappear in the Blue Aeroplane Half of the free world is going insane Buying their tickets for runaway trains But I am no different I am the same I fly away on the Blue Aeroplane Take me to Canada take me to Spain Fly me somewhere on the Blue Aeroplane Cause I melt in the shower and fall down the drain But I reappear in the Blue Aeroplane It's a thousand miles down when you're up in the air If you don't wear your seatbelt nobody cares And no one remembers from where they came When they arrive on the Blue Aeroplane Take me to Canada take me to Spain Fly me somewhere on the Blue Aeroplane Cause I melt in the shower and fall down the drain But I reappear in the Blue Aeroplane Twenty eight years and one foot in the grave When I go to church there's no soul to save No one remembers the place that they came When they arrive on the Blue Aeroplane Take me to Canada take me to Spain Fly me somewhere on the Blue Aeroplane Cause I melt in the shower and fall down the drain But I reappear in the Blue Aeroplane

FAVORITE GAME This is our favorite game Waiting with you for the train Pretending we won't meet again Pretending we don't feel anything Watching you jump off a fence Watching you light cigarettes Your smiles all have turned into boredoms Nothing else seems that important Except for your favorite game The one where you don't feel the pain The one where you color your hair And pretend you never were there The night has come down to the wire The bartender set Nancy Reagan's car on fire He says but they call him a liar It's the story that's good not the truth Yes the story eclipses all truth So this is my favorite game Asking a stranger her name As you disappear on the train Pretending that you've gone away Pretending that you've gone away Pretending that you've gone away Pretending that you've gone away

El Caminos 02:07
EL CAMINOS Sometimes she thinks of me when she's touching herself And that's only as close as she let's me now Mitchell Hedberg doing standup playing on TV When you wear that dress do you think of me? The Chevy El Caminos have to drive real slow When she takes you to an ocean where a garden grows When you ask her how to get there she'll say I don't know The only way to find it is to let it go So I write down everything that's been wrong with me I'm addicted to a drug called memories There's one to slow me down and one to speed me up I'm drinking Johnny Walker in a coffee cup Drinking Johnny Walker in a coffee cup Drinking Johnny Walker in a coffee cup Drinking Johnny Walker in a coffee cup Drinking Johnny Walker in a coffee cup When you pass a motel do your legs get weak I'm writing you a letter cause I'm still angry And when I come up empty would you let me be But when you wear that dress would you think of me Yeah when you wear that dress would you think of me

BREAK THE HABIT I got a pitbull's jaw and now my teeth are closed I been holding on and I'm not letting go I'm a heavyweight looking for a ring I'm a fighter who's not fighting for anything I'm getting there but I'm not there yet I'll meet you there I'll break the habit I'm getting there but I'm not there yet I'll meet you there I'll break the habit I'm going to Chinatown to put my life in boxes Would you call me later cause I might need a friend I'm a little scared though I'm not one to admit that But I woke this morning with my back up against the wall I'm getting there but I'm not there yet I'll meet you there I'll break the habit I'm getting there but I'm not there yet I'll meet you there I'll break the habit I'll break the habit I'll break the habit

Two Women 01:01
TWO WOMEN Don't check the text message on my phone Cause I got another lover who she don't know And she's gonna make some one a pretty wife one day She's gonna make him pancakes while you talk about your day I'm drinking on an empty stomach and it hurts In between two women but I'm thinking of a third Drinking on an empty stomach cause it hurts In between two women but I'm thinking of a third

MOVING TARGETS Now I'm high above the city in my good friend's apartment And I'm thinking this is not the end it's just something real that I can start with And I'm playing his guitar like tree that's falling in the forest And I open up my rib cage to see if this is really where my heart it I've been trying to figure out what kind of loss is the hardest Is it the husband for the wife or is it the eyes for the artist I've been shooting broken arrows at a moving target Yeah knowing what I know makes you so fucking hard to part with Do you remember coming back from Michigan last march After you and I'd been out on tour for a month We were trying to get to Jersey for a party at 8 But that ten hour drive took us a week to make Yeah the first place we stopped was the DIA We got high and stared at all that beautiful paint There was a band we knew in Cleveland but that was too far away So we took a motel 6 in pittsburgh cause it was getting late We ate the last of the mushrooms in a Starbucks cup of tea And left the show early to find someplace we'd rather be I never told you this but when we parked in that parking lot Downtown by the river til we saw the lights of the cops They came walking up slow with their flashlights ablaze I put all the drugs in my jacket while you were looking the other way And decided in an instant that I would take any blame Cause if you got busted one more time you'd be going away But they just said this park is closed and we had to be moving on So we drove away real slow and we never laughed so hard They said this park has been closed and we got to be moving on And there was more truth to those words than we ever would have thought Cause a month or two later man we were so far away But the lights on the river that night will always stay The lights on the river that night will always stay Yeah Pittsburgh at night will always stay...

GOLDEN GLOVES You will destroy the one thing that you love You'll be destroyed by the thing you love So goes the story of Mohammed Ali And his golden glove You will break the things you try to touch You will care entirely too much Like a dog who bites the hand that feeds It will be too hard for you to see When you deny the truth that's on your face When you become the one thing that you hate When you realize that it's already too late And everything you built will one day break I will fail and I will let you down I'm not as strong as the drummer makes me sound I will deceive the moment that you trust I will care about myself too much You will hate Joseph for his technicolor coat You will kill Lennon for the pop songs that he wrote You will hold a knife to your own throat You will trade humanity for gold You will bow down to the gods who you are told You will buy all of the stories that they sold You'll be the first to cast the second stone You will believe that the pattern is too old You will destroy the one thing that you love You'll be destroyed by the thing you love So goes the story of Mohammed Ali And his golden glove I will forgive the things that you've done wrong I will kiss the blood off of your palms I will return your hatred with my love I will return the hatred with my love The hatred for my love The hatred for my love The hatred for my love

Hijack 03:07
HIJACK Saw you today you said you were no longer sober Reminded me without saying it that the time we had is over You said you'd lost a couple pounds it wasn't hard to notice You standing there before me you know I find it really hard to focus You dyed your hair to red and it hung down to your shoulder Every time you look into a mirror you say your face gets older Sometimes I think I see a light in a tunnel or a train And I flutter blindly toward it like a moth into a flame I guess nothing has changed I feel like a child that's been left out for adoption You say you wonder why you do it but then you don't have any options It's so hard for you to want me cause I've hijacked it before And the airplane that you're leaving on won't let me through the door What am I hoping for?

WINE (BE HERE NOW) 'Be here now' is what she said when we woke up With no idea what it meant as a result of our good luck So I opened the last remaining bottle of red wine I was trying not to open it because it looked expensive And it really wasn't mine I live Tim now cause he and Emma broke up It's such a shame you say 'well' I say 'That's the same thing that they said about us' And every year around Christmas I mail a letter to a friend She never writes me back I don't know why I keep sending them My guitar only falls down when I put it in the guitar stand That's the only place it's not supposed to fall When you let it leave your hands 'Be here now' is what she said when we woke up With no idea what it meant she'd just read it in a book So baby open up that expensive bottle of red wine I'll pretend I'm yours and we'll go dancing down the line I guess that living this way is the same thing as that wine It only gets better when you let it age and give it time
