Three inches above the floor
Man in a box wants to burn my soul
And I'm tired, and I'm tired.

Is that the truth he says
The pain is easy
Too many words, too many words

And I can hear 'em

If you're hearing screams
Come back child, come back
My hands are dry
But I know they're gonna make it
Just one more night
Too many words, too many words

. . .


If you see my daughter
Don't tell her I'm scared
Forty days without water
Feel my hands on her hair

I fear

. . .


Jesse's gone inside out
Someone hush her quiet mouth
Charity's friend she was I know
Fill her cup and leave her alone

Distance fails but it keeps her alive
Thinks that evil's on her side
Gets rid of things that don't matter
She used to let me cut her hair

Jesse's gone inside out
She used to let me cut her hair

. . .


They tell you come tomorrow
Nothing for you now
You listen so intently
And slide

Hearing only yourself
You wait for the truth
How can you get it
When all you do
Is slide?

. . .


It's not enough
There's not enough for two
Sarah you're lazy

She says it's not enough for two
Sarah you're lazy

. . .


Cross over and turn
Feel the spot don't let it burn
We all want we all yearn
Be soft don't be stern

Lullaby
Was not supposed to make you cry
I sang the words I meant
I sang

. . .


The sea is a long, long way from me

I'd go there if I had the time
But lying here will do just fine

. . .


I guess the secret's out
Like a river flows
It's never over done
Out of control
I guess the secret's out
My simple goal
You'll be the one, too
Out of control
Out of my control

I guess the secret's out
Above me looking down
It's not supposed to be that way

Out of control

. . .


I'm sorry but I can't hold on
It works much better if I let it drag me around
I'm sorry if I'm losing ground
It works much better if I let it drag me around

. . .


You're gonna need more
Don't ask me to kick any chairs out from under you

. . .


You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
