Just A Little More

There’s some sadness stretching down the interstate
As the cars file past the twisted metal shape
And our president is looking quite like an ape
And the space station’s rusting in the sky.
There’s a basic sameness in every face
As you walk the streets
to your working space.
Resigned to the emptiness you feel just fine
As our country spirals in decline.
And who are you to bring me down
Just a little more
Here on every street in every town
It looks exactly the same
Yeah - it’s all running down
Now if every little town looks just the same
Man, What’s the point with the name?
Just a little more...

It Could Be So Wonderful

I know who you are,
you take me down the undertow
I can watch the searchlights follow you where you go
Come on if you dare to take me in your veins
Tranquilized and mesmerized,
highs and lows, again and again
It could be so wonderful
I’d like to take a ride in a taxi cab with you.
Watch the green lights change
The red lights shift to blue
Then fade away
Tranquilized and mesmerized,
highs and lows into the sun...

I'm Slipping

How many times must I hear the sound
Of your voice telling me to go?
And how many towns must I play until
I just don’t care anymore?
Yeah - I messed up
When I fucked your friend
But it’s a situation that you can trust
So maybe next week I will give you a call
And if you must hang up on me you must.
Cause every single day
I’m losing more control
And every single night
I’m slipping farther down the hole.
I’m slipping, slipping just a little bit
My friends hope I’ll cry away the pain
And eventually forget.
And then maybe next year
We will again be friends
Maybe somehow I will get back my head.
But I don’t think so.
There’s too much to say.
And not enough time
because we’re slipping away...

Pie In The Sky

They were tearing down paisley garden
Putting up another townhouse block
They were just about done
They’d just put the roof on
When we showed up after dark.
A couple cans of kerosene
A couple torn up rags
We burned it all down
They grew it right back
We were making fun of Sunday shoppers
Down at the Everywhere/Nowhere mall
We were laughing a lot
When down came the thought
That we’d already lost the war.
Shoppers are just the middlemen
Between the factory and the dump
Trading parts of your life
For shit you don’t want.
I never feel good
No matter how many clothes I buy
I still feel inadequate
I can’t seem to reach the pie in the sky
And now it’s a few years later
They’ve knocked down everything we know
We’re all standing in line
We’re all marching in time
To police car radios
There’s nothing wrong with the air in here
It’s a good place to hide
Just don’t go upstairs, don’t look outside
I always wanted
Someplace nice for my own
But in this wasteland
There’s nothing that anyone could call home
That’s right baby, tell ‘em all about it
They don’t know a thing about it
Four-story mixed-use building
Proposed land use action...

Maybe there’s no reason for the rain
Maybe things fall down
just so they can go up again
And maybe if I lie here you will explain
Why everything I love causes me pain?
I’m sorry but I just can’t stay awake.
The trees are soaking up the sun
as we drive ëround the lake.
I’ve taken all I can from you
ëtil there’s nothing to take.
Please forward all my mail to outer space.
That’s my new place.
The drummer beats down on the 4/4
Kick it back home again
I’m telling you the truth
Because you are my friend
I’ve told you once
I don’t want to have to tell you again
There’s always something in my way.
Saxophones are turning into rust
Retards all around me
are turning their brains to mush
I’ve listened to that rap shit until it disgusts
Everything I love has turned to dust
Who can you trust?
Please forward all my mail to outer space.
It’s my new place...
