Long ago
seems like yesterday
All the lies you told
bear familiar weight
And it hurts to know that it's all true
that there's nothing left for me and you
On the street
they don't know your name
Cipher incomplete
absence unexplained
And it hurts to know that you're still free
and there's no one left for you but me
(Chorus)
When I catch you crying
It won't make no difference
I won't tell nobody
No one needs to know
And when you catch me lying
It won't make no difference
You won't tell nobody
No one needs to know
Daylight shines
on the night before
Asking what's your sign
tell me what's your score
And it hurts to know that it's all real
what you want you've got to steal
(Chorus)

Escrow
03:27
|
|||
|
I know you got our love in escrow
you been watching the grass grow
I been working for free
You say you want some kind of pay off
call me in on my day off
F-U-C-K-M-E
I know it won't make any difference
if I offer resistance
I'll be here 'til you leave
So I put our love onto paper
put my faith in my maker
the banker says, "Hey, we'll see"
But even woodpeckers gotta eat
So I can't stay mad
(Repeat first verse)
Woodpecker pecking at my equity
What's he know that I don't know?
I don't know
I don't know

Rings of the Lord
01:59
|
|||
|
Tell me there's somewhere to go
somewhere pristine where no one knows
the mistakes I made
price I paid
somewhere like the beginning
somewhere after the end
Tell me there's someone to be
a face in the mirror that knows it's me
someone to trust
with my lust
someone I can believe in
How can you not know yourself?
(Chorus)
I was born so long ago
and there's so long left to go
I'll kiss the rings of the Lord
offer my life with no hope of reward
Tell me the end
is really the end
I don't need to keep living
Heaven sounds like a chore
(Chorus 2x)

You Will Be Next
02:34
|
|||
|
Summertime
air so hot it leaves you breathless
On the line
rumors say the crowd is restless
In your mind
you kick and scratch to find a reason
Until you find
it's just another killing season
Did you see your name
on the precinct door?
Did you leave your chains
on a distant shore?
Do you know by now
what your lifetime's for?
In a dream
soar above the city burning
Another scene
blue lights flash a fate uncertain
You want to leave
but you'll be next and they won't let you
So on your knees
and pray that history forgets you
'Cause it's not your name
on the precinct door
And it's not your chains
on the distant shore
You oughta know by now
what a lifetime's for...

Acid Tears
02:37
|

|
Lying in the dark
crying acid tears
Lover like a shark
burning through my years
Tell me what you done
tell me what you're doin'
A woman on the run
born to by my ruin
I like it a lot when you talk like that (3x)
Talk like that
Waiting on the line
come to understand
Something more than mine
a lover on demand
You know i like it raw
fresher than the freshest
So go and break the law
cum and be my precious
I like it a lot when you talk like that (3x)
Talk like that
Acid tears
Those acid tears
Where are you going tonight?

Pelican Witness
02:30
|

|
The only one who saw was the pelican
the only one who knows is the bird
I'm pretty sure I got all the evidence
yeah, I think I'm pretty sure
We can make it true
if we just believe
The solution isn't gonna be elegant
the cure is gonna feel like a curse
Our love has finally come to the precipice
and one of us has gotta go first
I know you got some doubt 'bout the benefit
promise that there's just no need
But you and I can never be permanent
except as cherished memory
And when I'm tired of you
I'm really tired of me
We can make it true
if we just believe
It's such a cherished memory
(alright, let's do another)

If You Wanna Be Good
02:05
|

|
If you wanna be good
you gotta be good
There's just the one way
there ain't no others
Don't ask the learned men
just ask their mothers
Just ask your mother
