remember when i spent days under my stairs
i should start living there again
if i needed sleep, if i needed anything
if i needed my four inch tv
you've got it, you've done it
taylor, taylor he's my man
if he can't do it i sure as hell can't
remember when i spent days sick on pills
i should start taking them again
if i needed sleep, if i needed anything
if i needed the wildest dreams
you've got them, i've got them
doctor, doctor he's my man
if he can't do it i sure as hell can't
remember when i was in love
and you were not on drugs
we should get back together sometime again~
now i've got my cigarettes and you've got your kid you've got your kid
(weird groany thing)

this house didn't look frieghtening this morning
because i wasn't inside partying
with the cool girls and their cool drinks
but it's warm whiskey for me
they're getting wine drunk
having sex with the door locked
but i'm the one always trying to get in
so i learned my lesson
and i got back with my old girlfriend
i stopped trying to impress my friends
and all the drunk women
(door)
so i didn't look so frightening this morning
because i was inside lieing
to some drunk slut
and her boring friend
i was listening to music
and smoking out back with some friends
a real cool night
with some real, real friends
and when i'd run out of cigarettes
i'd steal some out of some drunk girls pants
have cool conversations that never end
write letters that i've always meant to send
to some old german friend
this house didn't look frieghtening this-morning
because i wasn't inside partying

do you like it in the afternoon
well i've got a girl for you
her name is margo and she's got a few
hours to spend on you
she's an escort that i met at noon
says she's lookin' for a good man with a good tune
and she really likes my blue eyes
says she can tell when she gets a call if it's a lie
she's been arrested so many times
she said she's had a hard life
so i bought her a coffee and she bought my mind
gave me a kiss and said she has to fly
and i should call her sometime
i never thought i meet a whore i would like

i've got a neighbor, her husband passed away
i wonder what she told her, little kids
they got some sidewalk chalk for christmas
the next morning the sidewalk said
'we love you dad' - 'we love you dad'
she said, where the sidewalk ends
kids you'll see your dad he will be in heaven
where the sidewalk ends kids you'll see your dad
he will be in heaven
i know a man at 5:55 everyday
he drops to his knees to pray
on wednesdays he prays thanks
crosses his arms, drops to the ground
closes his eyes, he barely makes a sound
he's going to heaven
he told me
where the sidewalk ends you will see the men
they'll all be in heaven
where the sidewalk ends you'll see all the men
they'll all be in heaven
i got this feeling, that someday soon i'll pass away
but will i get to see the golden gates
cause i can cheat
and turn to channel 17
and watch some preaching on tv
but this church on tv thing...
i'd be suprised if it meant a single goddamn thing
where the sidewalk ends i will be plain dead
i will be so fine forever
where the sidewalk ends (drunken chords)
i know you, i know you,
you know you, you know you
i know you
you cry and cry your whole life
second guessing every choice
should you kill yourself tonight
or should you just think about it
for the rest, of your life
tell yourself you'll be alright
write another song how you'll be just fine
you know me, i'm the boy with the sexy voice
tonight you'll like me you have no choice
but do you know
and how everynight, i sit and think and fight
with a side of me so mean
and a side of me that sings
about winters so green
about girls without wedding rings
about me, me, me
about me, me, me
where the sidewalk ends i will be so dead
i will be so fine forever
i will be so dead

and i cant wait, no i cant wait

says the most romantic place on earth
is niagra falls
niagra falls isn't the most romantic place on earth
cause that's community days
just a few miles away
where the sky is so blue
and they cars they shine like new
and the kids can run and play
parents money wasting away
riding on the cheap rides
yeah it's your first date in a long time
and the fireworks burst in the sky
for the fourth of july, the fourth of july
wrapped in a blanket on your lawn
no night since then has ever last so long~
blow my smoke at the moon

sing my blues
play my jazz
another song
hope its bad
you'd be correct
in your guess
another lovely ballad
i'm still trying my best
to write a song
make it last
and certainly anyone wishing
that these songs would end
would doubtlessly send
their glares and their voice
lack of attention in your choice
this part of this song its for you
and it will be my last
i am dull
i am blue, remember that
the kid with his guitar
in the denim jacket
he opened up for that band
i didn't dig that
no i...
life is a bitch you now this
time is kept on your wrist
can you tell me when we'll stop
breaking hearts
when will the good life start
kids like me will write a song
to ease their pain to help them move on
well maybe in february
out good lives will start
we'll dig up our rooted hearts
this part of this song its for us
and it will be my (our) last
we are dumb
we are sick, remember that
the kids with their guitars and their fancy backpacks
we'll open up with our hit song
well i bet you dig that
to hear my blues
scream my jazz
i know you like that
to hear my blues
scream my jazz
to hear me sad
i just dro(pped my pick)

write a song about california
tell a story about both of you
faces with a decision to choose
one person to love

and you choose her

you're none of her concern
now that's a sad, sad song you have to learn
and it's a glad, glad friend you have to make fun of her
and your songs about, about california

she used to stay out all night
a new night, a new life
she used to live the good life
he used to bring her flowers
everyday at three, lunch on cedar street
they used to share evening showers
she used to give him hair cuts
fix cold cuts, mend shirt cuffs
she thought she was going to die
battery, she screams
this can't be me, this can't be me
he hits me, she screams
this can't be me, this can't be me
how can he say he loves me
when i think, i am going, to die
he used to take hours
practicing the speech, holding the wedding ring
but now he just needs his power
she used to know what love was
pure and true and sweet
not drugs and smoke and heat
she used to want a daughter and a family
you have to believe, she screams
he says he loves me, he says he loves me
how long has it been, since he said it
cause that can't be, it can't be
does he love me, she screams
you're his best friend, can't you tell me
how can he say he loves me
with his fists, with his fists of stone

Strings and Hate (demo)

|

|
heading out to your show
you watch the closing band from the back row
wondering what you're doing here
listening to this shit when you could be home
all alone on your couch
with your phone-chord unplugged
with a view of the moon
you got back together with her too soon
like the moon in the dark dark sky
like the bright light from the street light
in the morning it's gone
so your show was the bomb
you aren't any better now
you aren't any better now
so write write what make the children cry
and cry cry cause you're really wasting your time
strings and hate, letters and hate
your guitar and your paint, you love to hate

now i'm remembering those japanese nights
drinking suntory whiskey
until everyone's faces were bright
always something going on until the break of dawn
and i'm remembering that japanese mall
i've got no money and the servings
the servings are so small
but i've got some smokes, god i love those folks
i've been to canada once
brian, chris, and i stopped at a few truck stops
but there was this one
scenic outlook
it looked so beautiful
like it was straight out of a book
about the most beautiful stars
i know how they are
the canadian stars
i know how they are
i've been to a canadian bar
couldn't drink any beer cause i had to drive the car
it's four in the morning
i'm trying to stay awake so i'm smoking
nine hours is all we have to go
boston on the map looks so close
i've been to the ocean before
looks the same everywhere
i've always expecting more
it's just a big blue sky
and a big blue lie
a cold boring ocean
in no kinds of motion
i'll get cold and bored and frozen
i'll get cold and bored and frozen
oh-oh

he's been to your new town
he new nothing about
what it would do to you
and when something's going on
he doesn't know what's going on
and he doesn't want to
but it doesn't bother you
so now you're back in town
you two are laughing about
the times she's had
in her new house
what if he can't choose
what he wants to do
he could come visit you
but then he risks to loose
a couple of days
he could have laid
and drank away
relaxing in a town
he knows up and down
so is nothing's going on
he knows what's going on
he used to know what to do
when he had something to loose
but now he's lost you
and know he's lost too
so he will come
when you an tell him...

she drives five miles an hour
thinking florida is just ugly
and these people are just ugly
except for the flowers
except for the groves
so she drove to the store
and she bought some seeds
yeah she thought that she~
could just dig a new hole
and cover it up with that beautiful dirt
in her ugly hands
she thought that these ugly people
they don't realize that dirt spends it whole life
holding up the flowers
holding up the things that make her (world) beautiful.
those are the things that were
important to her, that dirt
those flowers, and the groves
the thing that made her world beautiful
the next day she crashed
driving five miles an hour on her way to work
and she cried, cause she hurt
(she grew numb)
and she dreamed of the dirt and her flowers
then she was gone
the next day, what would you expect
they buried her in that dirt, in those flowers
in the things that made her world beautiful
now she's beautiful, now she's beautiful
she makes this world beautiful
now we're beautiful

he's wishing you were here now
he's laying on his couch without a sound
just thinking oh so much about
how he can't adjust to his new house
to these new sounds or this new bed
to his old house he knew he was going to forget
as soon as he let you
leave his house and get out of his town
sleep and think you're getting him now
you're bring him down

his bed was still made in the afternoon
he made her smile underneath the moon
but she had something to say
no she doesn't plan on staying
he knew she was going away
it didn't stop him from praying
then she started
started reflecting
she's too young
too young for protecting
he had heard enough
it was just this stuff
that he knew would come
he knows he is not above
the water is cold on his face
he's trying to stay awake
in his bed she made
the water is cold on his face
he's trying to stay awake
so he can get away
no he doesn't have to stay
who's to say she deserves the best?
who's to say she's better?
who's to say he deserves the best?
who's to say he's better?
