a dream with no sound
i was somewhere
green and blue
couldn't have been
more than two
had a dream with no sound
i was in
a twilight field
grass bent down
where i kneeled
had a dream with no sound
the fading light
is concerning me
i am alone
as far as i see
had a dream with no sound
no sound

wrong
well i am
awaiting the end
nothing
can be gained by pursuit
something that once was here
is now gone
they took me apart and
put me back together wrong
i can't
hope to understand
anything
at this late date
all my life
just tryin to get along
they took me apart and
put me back together wrong
look at me
there's something
wrong with me
can't you see it?
everybody else does
everybody else does
all that i have
found has been lost
i fall asleep
with my fingers crossed
cause i am.....

get me to tomorrow
i was on fumes
clean out of luck
it all came to me
at once, like jesus
deliver me from brooklyn
into the arms of a woman
and get me to tomorrow
i'm ready to go
i want it to
come so easy
i want love to be
simple like breathing
i want all the parts to work
i don't want to have to say a word
just get me to tomorrow
i'm ready to go
i don't remember yesterday
today it rained
i don't remember yesterday
today it rained
and it rained
i was nowhere
lost in this town
she opened a door where
the future starts now
apologize to the belgian
he was wastin too good a woman
and get me to tomorrow
i'm ready to go

like a f*ckin sundial
yeah i am so becoming
with my screwed up face
my hands float
uselessly in space
but i know what time it is
i know what time it is
i'm like a fuckin sundial
i'm like a fuckin sundial
yeah i am so not charming
with my crystal ball
even half blind i can
read the writing on the wall
but i know misplaced pride
it's easy to recognize
i'm like a fuckin third eye
i'm like a fuckin third eye

practicing the religion
of adrienne

and all i do is cry
adrienne
cause you just won't

twentyfour
twenty four, twenty four
twenty four
blue eyed and reckless and
all summer in a day
as they say
poor rich girl, poor rich girl
bored rich girl
high over mission street
with no one to keep her company
then she met me
everybody uses somebody
sometimes
everybody uses somebody
sometimes
twenty four, twenty four
twenty four
blue eyed and reckless with
too much plastic and cash
and a perfect ass
life crept in, life crept in
life crept in and with it
were all those secrets that you wish
were never known
now they're known
everybody uses somebody
sometimes
everybody uses somebody
sometimes
twenty four, twenty four
twenty four
blue eyed and reckless and
all summer in a day
as they say
twenty four, twenty four
twenty four
blue eyed and perfect and
possessor of priceless works of art
and my heart

quiet

quiet
i came sweepin in like belmondo
in a long tracking shot by truffaut
i'm not some dog lost on the road
i'm not here to be toyed with
i'm here to tell you
i mix everything with alcohol
i fuck like there's no tomorrow
and i can't get the hate
out of my heart
i built up a little
on the quiet
i laugh at death and angst
i lie regardless of circumstance
and i sure do think things is funny
and i can't get the hate
out of my heart
i built up a little
on the quiet
when you weren't lookin
when you were leavin me for dead
when you were textin me a smile
then callin the other guy
i love pleasure i love pain
i take the lord's name in vain
and i don't smile much but
i know how
and i can't get the hate
out of my heart
i built up a little
on the quiet

little rabbit

little rabbit
down in the hole
where money doesn't grow
there's a ray of light somewhere
creepin in
i have my doubts
bout stickin my head out
i'm happy to have my
hole to dig in
little rabbit
i tried it before
thought i'd try it once more
i went to the garden just to
have a look
i took the first thing at hand
and i got in a jam
and i just made it out with my
lucky foot
little rabbit
i bring home twenty carrots
she wants twenty five
asks if i've had fun when
i'm lucky to be alive
i'm just one poor rabbit
no ambitious hare
i dig the ground
i hop around
but mostly i don't care
little rabbit

last girl

the last girl
i'm too bored
to light my cigarette
let alone smoke it
let alone smoke it
i been starin into space
i've gone blind
i've gotten used to it
i've gotten used to it
but you can't hide in the wasteland
you can't hide when the devil's
at your door
as the walls close in around me
i dream of the last girl
you'll be happy and i'll be sad
it's a natural fact
i can't get over it
i can't get over it
there's only one thing to do
when yer near the end
run to it
run to it
she was the one
that got away
she was the one i deserved
but i didn't deserve
as the empire falls around me
i dream of the last girl

never hesitate

never hesitate
never hesitate
pizza in the parlor
doughnuts in the grocery
never hesitate
newspaper on the corner
tip jar in the bakery
never hesitate
when you got your hand in the
man's pocket
never hesitate
there's a sucker born
ev'ry minute
never hesitate
woman in the bedroom
woman on the telephone
never hesitate
keep your eyes to the ground boy
keep your bloody nose to the stone
never hesitate
when you got it deep inside
her pocket
never hesitate
there'll be another one come round
any minute
never hesitate
you can be bogey
you can be a sonofabitch
never hesitate
don't you break a sweat son
don't you miss an easy pinch
never hesitate
when the money's already in
your pocket
never hesitate
there's a sucker born
ev'ry minute
never hesitate
when yer pullin names
out of a bucket
never hesitate
there's a sucker born
ev'ry minute

end of the line
to be laughing in the night
throwing pennies in the street
i'm standing on a platform
cracking my bad knees
in a world of money and men
and no time
i'm at the end of the line
i'm sleeping in my clothes
rationing my cigarettes
trying to believe in courage
and looking down on emptiness
in a world of money and me
and no time
i'm at the end of the line
and i'm shouting down the long void
but it's too late
i'm at the end of the line
a twenty in my pocket
reciting the lord's prayer
my eye on a bird
as i limp up the stairs
into a word of money and men
and no time
i'm at the end of the line
