Baby, baby, baby
It was all a dream
It was all you ever wanted to feel and all you'd ever need
but I guess everything has its price
you said you wanted character!
character!
but not if it's gonna hurt
So why you gotta breathe in
and take it all away forever?
The love that I believed it
was just your waste of time.
And if you don't believe enough
I sure as hell can't bleed enough tonight.
What a time to go!
You could have somehow let me know
an email or a letter or a little thing
called the telephone
but I guess I wasn't worth your time
after all we share
the pinkie swears
and all the ways we blew our minds
chorus:
the stories of your day
the Sunday's that we'd lay
all morning
are gone with out warning
I'm sick of all the stupid dreams
where you're still around, still in love, and i still believe
you're an answer to a prayer
you said you wanted character!
Character!
But I guess you never really cared!

Glue

They say a man had a thought
About the God he knew and the things he bought
He said, "Lay them down.... I got a new type of glue."
So I read his book
and when she walked by
I tried not to look
But I was feeling hungry
Tasty and hard
And my body was spiced with sweat and char
He said, "Lay them down... I got a new type of glue."
He said, "Lay them down... I got a new type of glue."
So lay me down
Before I drown in glue...
Water colored clouds
Rain on me
And drown me now in her luxuries
Will you have the juice when you're ego's bled
And all around you is the opera screaming in my head
Hey now, hey now, hey now... where will you go on Your own
Bad dreams and stomach aches
And all I am is coffee stained
You become the landscape
Contrast, light, and measuring tape
It's not a room
Just a place to collapse
Filled with thought balloons
And poisonous facts
Where you become the villain
The villain at last
The princess so long
But somehow miscast...
So just lay me down, before I drown in glue
Hey now, hey now, hey now... where will you go on Your own...

September
Didn't knock before it entered.
It just showed up in your clothes
And said goodbye.
Left me like a werewolf
On Mystic Avenue
Chasing a morning dream
And howling at the moon.
And what's it for
This half-asleep tug-of-war?
You scream like a mime
Only to find
You got what you asked for
Am I
Just an android babe?
Is this just
What I'm programmed to say?
'Cause in our dreams
We see a God sees
But the in-betweens deceive
Everytime.
On Holland Street
I hear a caveman song
Leaking out to me
With all this neon.
Tired eyes
Can't see a chance tonight,
Just missed opportunities
And places to hide.
And what's it for
This half-asleep tug-of-war?
You scream like a mime
Only to find
You got what you asked for.
Chorus:
Let me sleep inside your head
Sleep inside your head
Please.
Let me sleep inside your head
Sleep inside your head
Please.
Hold your dreams-up with a gun
and keep them 'til morning comes.
Well here it comes again.

Hosanna

I thought I had it all worked out
A tight rope walker can't look down
Or the feeling... it starts to fade
I memorize the wrong mistakes
Over time the horizon fades
I am driving a car with no brakes
Lord forgive me please
For thinking the sun would wait for me
Sunday morning ghost town scenes
I'm in a silent movie and I can't scream
Am I the only one awake
My best intentions are slip knot lies
A perfumed breeze will soon untie
For a chance at love you can fake
Lord forgive me please
For thinking the sun would wait for me
Oh hosanna
Where have the hallelujahs gone
The world I see is just a place to hide
But fill me with light
Fill me with light
Fill me with light
'Cause I know there's more than this
