Autopsy 03:39
Girl, your face is breathtaking My god, your eyes are so serene You're rolling up so fresh and clean Don't make me do the autopsy No makeup and your verse is free So beautiful that it's obscene You come up and say hi to me I'm gonna do the autopsy You make me wanna do the autopsy It's gonna be a slow death it would seem I'd rather settle down and die than dare to dream I guess I'm gonna do the autopsy The locomotion never worked for me The evolution is a fallacy I'm sure I'll try to do the time warp eventually For now it's all about the autopsy What was the straw that broke the camel's back? Which was the fry that caused the heart attack? When was the point of never coming back? Was it the part when I played you that song That talked about all the shit I'd done wrong? When did it finally start hitting home That you would be much better off alone? You know you wanna do the autopsy Let's save some time and just concede defeat I'd rather settle down and die than make believe I guess we're gonna do the autopsy The locomotion never worked for me The evolution is a fantasy You'll teach me how to do the time warp eventually I'll show you how to do the autopsy Now everyone every time everywhere always thinks they've found the one But no one's sat right here with you tonight just like I have just done And everybody clings to the coattails of those that they love Maybe no one who's dumb enough to try is smart enough to give up I'm coming up your driveway

Hungry 03:57
Better eat what's on my plate Or I'll be hungry all night long 37 songs too late Climb aboard here, sing along I'm dreaming all wrong Dreaming all wrong I won't take my advice Well what a surprise Better say 'aah', open wide I've been hungry all year long Better swallow all this pride Hop aboard dear, I'm going strong Dreaming all wrong Dreaming all wrong I won't take my advice Well what a surprise Darling take my advice See the truth in these lies It's written on this grain of rice Look into my rapidly moving eyes You're dreaming all wrong

First Glance 03:21
Still I have dreams of leaving Falling prey to fate There'd still be time to get my act straight Dreams of playing Right into the wrong hands Just in time for one more romance At first glance I can grasp what I see At first glance I can make believe It's all the stronger Emotion on its own Unfettered by the facts that ain't shown Brilliant colors The dark reminds us of She floats below, my soul soars high above At first glance I can grasp what I see At first glance I can make believe Open-ended, ain't it now? I'll never know just why or how She changes the rules, then throws 'em out And so I make her queen of everything At first glance At long last Do I grasp what I see? At long last Do I get what I need? At long last

I touted my proudest thoughts, unabashedly uncool I sang a song of snot and played myself for a fool Cracked my chest to let my heart's vast ignorance shine through Regaled all my dreamy brain farts as if they'd already come true I scattered the straightest thoughts Shouted the sweetest tunes I footed the stiffest costs And suffered the stupidest wounds While practicing the pratfall from my hubris hot air balloon The rushing of endorphins made me forget it wasn't true The pursuit of unintentional humor Has worn me to the bone You had to be there I guess you just had to be there I met a sweet young woman whose heart I longed to woo She shattered my perceptions with a snap, and off they flew My love was so enormous It obscured the world from view And I was sure it was all over When she said she loved me too But I fell back on old habits before I realized I knew And in the course of making fun of it, I forgot my love was true The pursuit of unintentional humor Has worn me to the bone You had to be there I guess you had to be there, oh-oh The difficulty of this maneuver Is moot over the telephone You had to be there I guess you just had to be there And I want you all to know I'm not ashamed of it, not a bit And I'll not apologize Not in the middle of a game you can only win by Believing your own bullshit 'Cause I'm on the warpath to unintentional humor I'm on the expressway to irrelevance Unintentional humor--have I achieved it at last? Unintentional humor--is it a thing of the past? Unintentional humor--so shallow, so vast Unintentional humor--what a pain in the ass The pursuit of unintentional humor Has worn me to the bone You had to be there I guess you just had to be there Oh, you had to be there Oh, you really had to be there

Lovedreams 03:20
I woke up in the dark Having dreamt I was in pursuit Piling on the circular talk Just like I used to do I suppose this is serious love The kind that just won't be snuffed The kind of love that never dies The sort of stuff that ruins lives Burn the lovedreams, burn 'em for safekeeping Save the lovedreams, save 'em on the garbage heap If you lived here, you'd be home by now If you loved me, you'da let on by now Did you forget what you said? Did I misinterpret it? Vague and softspoken Over AIM Five long years ago Feels like that and twenty-some-odd more You said "I'm sorry but You are so beautiful" Burn the lovedreams, burn 'em for safekeeping Fill the lovedreams, fill 'em while you're leaving If you loved me, you'd be home by now If you lived here, you'da shown by now Did you forsake your vow? Or did I misinterpret it somehow? That delicious little hiccup in Space-time's continuin' You were six-fucking-teen Maybe it didn't mean anything Maybe it was just one of those things Whatever the fuck that means If you lived here, you'd be home by now If you loved me, I guess I'd know by now Burn the lovedreams, burn 'em for safekeeping Save the lovedreams, save 'em on the garbage heap If you lived here, you'd be home by now If you loved me, you'da let on by now If you lived here, you'd be home by now

I could tell you what you want to hear But once the lies got filtered out, you'd want to punch me in the mouth This is ending with the summer This is how I choose to remember ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I could tell you what you want to hear But once the lies got filtered out, you'd want to punch me in the mouth This is ending with the summer Go on home and visit your mother This is how I choose to remember us ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh This is ending with the summer This is ending with the summer With the summer With the summer With the summer With the summer

Honestly what difference could this all possibly make? In the end we're all going to roughly the very same place And soon we'll be dead or in pain half alive mostly dead in our minds and unwilling to try to revive what we lost when we tried to survive the first time And how do you propose to change it When you play it so lackadaisical? How do you expect to make it If you're gonna act so lackadaisical? You ought to do it right the first time You should've done it right the first time Just let it go by the wayside Honestly what difference could this conceivably make? All my dreams keep collapsing and crushing my heart like a pancake And soon you'll be dead or you'll marry instead, get a house and a kid, keep your feelings well-hid, and I won't want to know if you loved me, so what if you did? But how do I propose to change it When I play it so lackadaisical? How do I expect to make it If I'm gonna act so lackadaisical? I ought to do it right the first time I should've done it right the first time And there you go by the wayside

When I take control, I fall apart When I make up my mind, it breaks my heart I turn my eyes toward the starless sky All I have learned is cast aside When it doesn't serve the storyline I set my sights on someone else's life & times I put on a new brave face Won't it go nice in your place? Me & my big brave face tacked on the wall From the shelter of my mind Through the window of my eyes A new brave face Just take control, I've fallen apart Make up my mind and take my heart I put on a new brave face Don't it look nice in your place? Me & my big brave face stacked on the shelf Life used to be so hard Now everything is easy 'cause of you And my new brave face When I take control, I fall apart When I make up my mind, it breaks my heart All I have learned is cast aside When it doesn't serve the storyline So I put on a new brave face I put on a new brave face

Roundtrip 08:31
like lucid dreaming i'm lucid singing i'm also listening to me never could have told you till now that the audience was just me and you above all i've tried to please and you've kept me on my knees you won't be asked back counted sheep but i forgot me i have sheltered myself from light we only come out at night we're digging our graves why not when there's nothing to save? there's nothing to save there's nothing there just forget me dear los angeles you know you've bled me now i'm clogging the machinery i'm just clogging the machinery i'm clogging you up so where is this going? the faces are blurring i'm clinging to nothing when's the kingdom coming? your name floosa the atlas it's my working title the title's not working still you're undefeated can't get here from here why won't my life count? i bit all i could bear can't chew your naked fear there is no escape from anyplace you run from there is no relief from a wound unforgiven there is no redemption within the revision there is nothing special about this condition so when are they leaving? and when are you coming to bed? i've been dreaming about smog and palm trees and congested freeways this one went to portland this one went to lansing this one went to market this one went wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee all the way home there is no redemption there's only revision so choose your religion now feed in the scantron tally the red dashes keep the number in mind for all time and where are we going? where are we going?
