What excuses do you make? Happiness is hard to find.
I didn't catch a break. Maybe I am dying inside.
February, been so lonely. It's been so long since I felt your touch.
And I could care less if I deserve this,
I will never survive the sting inflicted.

(Sever all ties.)
(Follow procedure.)
(Pledge abstinence.)
(Fuck at your leisure.)
(Breathe in then out, but not out then in.)
(Cause over function.)
(Restart again.)

I need to see my tree as I close my eyes.
Remembering nothing and begging for light.

(All the trees, all the birds, and this thing called life.)
(I'd stake it all for forty acres and a trophy wife.)
(Dust gathers on the books that contain our past,)
(and we're but peons in a circuit built by time to last.)
(Repeat, Repeat)
(as we've done before.)
(Our history all lost in war.)
(When the last of our cities are but powder and dust,)
(the damned who remain live with God in the glory of us.)

February, been so lonely.
It's been so long, since I felt you.
I could care less if I deserve this.
I won't survive the sting inflicted.

(Repeat, Repeat)
(as we've done before.)
(Our history all lost in war.)
(Repeat, repeat, as we've done before.)
(Our history all lost in war.)

(Repeat, repeat.)
(Repeat, repeat.)
(Repeat, repeat.)
(Repeat, repeat.)

(Staring at the window panes)
(Russian roulette with some names on the phone)
When I stare at your face, are you even alive?
(Oh my god, you're so fucking intelligent)
(Don't you just love the use of Andy Warhol?)
We always knew that we were never the best advocates

And it's okay
If I'm gray today

(Holy fuck I'm impressed)
(Too bad I don't have a pussy to plunge in)
(While I sit here and stomach this)
(Here's a noble prize, lets gamble our demise)

Staring at the window paint
Russian roulette with some names on the phone
Hey you, where you from?
Never mind just leave me alone

(I drained the wells so the town has no water)
(I cut the phone lines and buried the grain)
(I drained the blood from the fortunate ones)
(It's self destruction 'cause we're all the same)

"Hurry up, trade in your gold for cash."
That's what everyone's saying
(Don't blame me for post economical backlash)
That's what everybody's doing
Sometimes I can't believe myself
(Consequence in the purest form)
(I've seen it coming from miles away)

I'm down with brown town
I'm down with brown town

[x4]
I'm down with brown town
(It's only seconds away)

Maybe we're not the only ones
Let's just say we're the unwritten
Let's make believe that we are capable of parallel galaxies
There's a nest in the mud with my limbs untied

Beautiful girls with no ambition
Piling hair at the fucking salon
happily making all of their friends to get...via cellular phones
I don't need you, baby I need you
I need you and only you
......
.....
Don't follow the trends

I can't decide, I can't decide

No, it's okay, you don't need them anyway
And if I go, you can't say everything will be the same
Love can make you laugh, but I know you wanna love
Well the air is thin, I know you'll be over this again

Maybe we're not the only ones
Let's just say we're the unwritten
Let's make believe that we are capable of parallel galaxies
There's a nest in the mud with my limbs untied

. . .


Unfinished!
(Something) = Missing!
Any help would be awesome!


There's no sense in me saying that what doesn't matter
(What doesn't matter, it never mattered)
I hope someday soon maybe we'll finish this chapter
(I can't ever finish this chapter)
Now at this moment I don't know what else to think
There's no sense in me saying, I guess I still miss you

So now I need this in faces.
Examine the suspects, Get The DA here now
You'll tell everyone, that it's so much fun
Say to all my friends, it never ends.
While we're driving through, all the alleyways
We picked up some happiness on the way

I'll tell everyone, that it's so much fun
Say to all your friends, it never ends
While we're driving through, all the alleyways
I picked up some happiness on the way

Just because, you move your hips,
It doesn't mean that you exist
Just because, you move your lips
It doesn't mean that you exist
Can we just take a fucking break?
‘Cause I feel like I have got nothing left
Nothing left...

I guess I still miss you
All along it's me and you
What else should we do?
But talking's for functioning people
I guess I still miss you
But talking's for functioning people
I guess I still miss you
Woaahh!

You'd always say, we'd win the lottery someday,
So I wouldn't have to go away
I should have known , that I had it all along
But I didn't know til you were gone

How do you, function now?
Touch your nose, Jump around!
Fuck what your going through
(Missing Line)
Sick of (Something)
Two bottles plus (Something)
What do sore lemons do?
Dancing when I'm like glue!
Drinking my life away!
Gamble with everything!

Just because, you move your hips,
It doesn't mean that you exist
Just because, you move your lips
It doesn't mean that you exists
Can we just take a fucking break?
Cause I feel like I have got nothing left
Nothing left...

I guess I still miss you
All along it's me and you
What else should we do?
But talking's for functioning people
I guess I still miss you
But talking's for functioning people
I guess I still miss you

You always say, we'd win the lottery someday,
So I wouldn't have to go away
I should have known , that I had it all along
But I didn't know til you were gone.
You always say, we'd win the lottery someday,
So I wouldn't have to go away.
You always say, we'd win the lottery someday,
So I wouldn't have to go away

Drowning In a lake.
I only left her for a couple seconds
And now shes gone.


Waking up for what?
As I pace back and forth
"Maybe its time to move away"
But what will that prove any-way
Listening too the answering machine
Over and over
Only to hear your voice, one more time
Just one more time

Its not your fault, That's what they all keep saying
Blaming myself, There's nothing left
Why do i bother praying!? [X2]

Beg me for directions, Like i have-all-thee-answers
I neglected her life, now what do i do with mine?

Listening to the answering machine
Over and over
Only to hear your voice, one more time
Just one more time

Its not your fault, That's what they all keep saying
Blaming myself, There's nothing left
Why do i bother praying!? [X2]

Drowning In a lake.
I only left her for a couple seconds
And now shes gone
Drowning
Drowning

One day I'll tap your mind, then I'll know everything
One day I'll tap your mind, then I'll know everything
One day I'll tap your mind, then I'll know everything
One day I'll tap your mind, then I'll know everything
No one believes me
No one believes me

They're always on your side, every time!
And are you right, and are you right?
Backseat driver, you're driving me insane
I happen to know exactly where I'm going

Whats your agenda?
Whats your agenda?
Whats your agenda?

No one believes me
No one believes me
No one believes me

. . .


Please girl stay till the early mornin'
We can have some coffee
You can do my laundry
Please girl stay, don't mind the clutter
Get back in bed, yeah
Mickey Mouse covers,
Ooo girl on yo body

Please girl stay, oh darlin'
Please girl stay, oh sugar
Please girl stay until the early mornin'

And I'm not really sure what we did last night,
So lets explore each other's minds.
And I know that you kind find the time
Indulge me

Your cherry lips linger on mine
I took the plum right from the vine
Oh girl, I wouldn't waste your time
Indulge me!

And I'm not really sure what we did last night, (Please girl stay)
So lets explore each other's minds. (Please girl stay)
And I know that you kind find the time (Please girl stay until the early mornin')
Indulge me

"All Along the Watchtower"
They'll be singing our song forever
"All Along the Watchtower"
They'll be singing our song forever

One day
You'll see what it means to believe
One day
You'll see what it means!


(Repeat All)

. . .

Pt. 2

Could you stay a little longer?
I could really use the extra time
I don't know why I even care
Cause I'm never really there
I'm sure he must be a real nice guy
What a relief, He'll carry you to sleep

Hey!
And I don't know (Hey!)
What we could have done (Hey!)
And maybe this time I will learn to love again (Hey)
I will always be your friend

See this is why
We don't talk anymore
Cause you'll always be waiting
To settle the score
And every second could be the next meltdown
If I wasn't leaving you wouldn't make a sound
You wouldn't make a sound

So this is why
We don't talk anymore
So this is why
We don't talk anymore

Now I don't have to be a real nice guy
What a relief

Hey!
And I don't know (Hey!)
What we could have done (Hey!)
And maybe this time I will learn to love again (Hey!)
I will always be your friend

Could you stay a little longer?
I could really use the extra time
I don't know why I even care
Cause I'm never really there
I'm sure he must be a real nice guy

Could you stay a little longer?
Could you stay a little longer?
Could you stay a little longer?
Could you stay a little longer?

You threw me away
Just like all the others
It's been 7 days and not a single word

You threw me away
Just like all the others
It's been 7 days and not a single word

(And to you it's all the same, all the same)
(And to you it's all the same, all the same)
(And to you it's all the same, all the same)
(And to you it's all the same, all the same)

Make everything happen exactly like I know
Just like the ones before, just like the ones before
I hope you know what you are doing to yourself, to yourself
I hope you know what you are doing

And to you it's all the same, all the same
And to you it's all the same, all the same
And to you it's all the same, all the same
And to you it's all the same, all the same

I'll take comfort, you'll take security
I'll take comfort, you'll take security

You threw me away just like all the others
It's been seven days and not a single word
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive
It's just the same, the same as yesterday
Don't wake me up if you have nothing to say
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive

Make everything happen exactly like I know
Just like the ones before
Just like the ones before
I hope you know what you are doing to yourself, to yourself
I hope you know what you are doing

What are you but a yellow/purple zebra, contacts so i can see clearer?
Write these words in stone, im a magnet- I cause tension and retract it.
Please ask me again 'cause i didn't hear it.
Get settled in 'cause you cant be here yet.
All partied out on strangers favors, how you act like we're friends but we're only neighbors.
Excuse me, pardon the interruption.
I walk up press all the buttons. I talk down, stress all the function,
I always gotta be startin something,
So, powder to the people, 'cause the fight for rights is equal,
Powder to the people, 'cause the fight for rights is equal

And to you it's all the same, all the same
And to you it's all the same, all the same
And to you it's all the same, all the same
And to you it's all the same, all the same
And to you it's all the same, all the same
And to you it's all the same, all the same

You threw me away just like all the others
It's been seven days and not a single word
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive
It's just the same, the same as yesterday
Don't wake me up if you have nothing to say
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive

Content with who we are
Driving in our fast cars through thin lanes on long roads
So much to behold
Greatest country? Where you been to form that opinion?
See it, believe it... "Celebrity leadership"
