Moth Album

Yes, I do care what you have to say
But I'm sure I'm having a very bad day
And I'm tired of being sick and I'm sick of being tired
Once a long time ago I caught a glimpse of you alone

I see sound
I see sound
I see sound

I was so very scared
But now I've learned a new way to care

I see sound
I see sound from all around
I see sound from all around
From all around from all around

What would you do if suddenly
You turned around and everything was
No longer what you had planned
And all the faces were not friends
And everything you thought you wanted
Might be a mistake from when you started
You'd change it if you could you know you would
But there is no one else to be

She climbed out on to the fire escape and said
What are you doing you know it's late
And people told me that you were back
But I'm kind of wondering why is that?

Once a long time ago
I caught a glimpse of you alone
And I was so very scared
But I took the thoughts and stripped them bare
Said hey now who you lovin' (hey now who you lovin')
Saw you on the television (Saw you on the television)

I see sound
I see sound from all around
I see sound from all around
From all around from all around

The tension in the chain was about to break
And the gears and the wheels had all they could take
And the pressure in her head went crazy and freaked
Now she laughs when she tries to speak

The button down white,
Collared shirt she wore last night is lying on my floor
Complicated friends wanna know what's in store

You've never seen anything not like this, not again, for sure
Tired of this energy uncertainty it's killing me what for

The heaters will hum when the furnace is done
and the auto-pilot light passes out in a tub
The lens is stopping down and there's film in the tanks
Try to freeze motion before the moment goes blank

How could you ignore?
I've seen the way he looks at you
When telling all those lies...
Are you impressed my dear?

You've never seen anything, not like this, not again for sure
Tired of this energy uncertainty is killing me what more

With a wedding at the harbor with the best of tuba players
And the admirals little navy is all lined up like good sailors
And Annette and little Frankie ditched the beach
And came a running straight away to say goodbye at high tide
Have a nice life

I'm thinkin' please, but I'm saying no

Lost somewhere between gravity and the stars
A barstool's growing cold and a piano collects scars
In case we rode too far I keep a pillow in the car
On radio and late t.v is our heavy wet rotation dream

Never seen anything, not like this, not again for sure
Tired of this energy uncertainty is killing me what more

You've never seen anything, not like this, not again for sure
Tired of this energy uncertainty is killing me what more

To say goodbye at high tide have a nice life
I'm thinkin' please

I don't wannna be all by myself
I don't wannna be all by myself
Yeah you're perfect
Don't wanna love anybody else
Don't wanna love anybody else
Please say you'll stay

Can't ya catch on or don't you want to?
Everyone thinks that you just don't care

Sometimes I hear a voice that tells me things I don't wanna do

I don't wanna live like all the rest
I don't wanna live like all the rest
They all bore me
I am failing each and every test
I am failing each and every test
She's so mean to me
I don't want to come down hard on you
But it just seems your not happy here

Sometimes I hear a voice that tells me things I don't wanna know

Don't wanna love anybody else
Don't wanna love anybody else
Don't wanna love anybody
Don't wanna love anybody else
Don't wanna love anybody else
Don't wanna love anybody

My hands on fire
My head on fire
My eyes on fire
My lips on fire
My hands on fire
My mind on fire
My eyes on fire
My lips on fire
My hands, my face, my skin on fire
My shoes on fire
My clothes on fire
My house on fire
My yard on fire
My things, my house, my world on fire

The girl combusts all over me, the girl combusts all over me
Burning down my sanity, the girl combusts all over me
The girl combusts all over me, the girl combusts all over me
Burning down my sanity, burning down my sanity

My phone's on fire
My files on fire
My job on fire
My world's on fire

The girl combusts all over me, the girl combusts all over me
Burning down my sanity, the girl combusts all over me
The girl combusts all over me, the girl combusts all over me
Burning down my sanity, burning down my sanity

Everybody's havin' fun
Everybody's havin' fun
Everybody's havin' fun except me
Except me

My plans on fire
My dreams on fire
My hope on fire
My life on fire

The girl combusts all over me, the girl combusts all over me
Burning down my sanity, the girl combusts all over me
The girl combusts all over me, the girl combusts all over me
Burning down my sanity, burning down my sanity
The girl combusts all over me, the girl combusts all over me
Burning down my sanity, burning down my sanity

Everybody's havin' fun
Everybody's havin' fun
Everybody's havin' fun except me
Except me

Riding in the backseat again
To go and visit a stranger's friend
I'm crammed in between the deranged
The mood is scientific and strange

In my dream last night,
you and I had come back to life in my dream last night

Pulled up to some trees by a house
The car turns off and we all get out
Walk inside and you're standing there
Your face is hidden by your long hair

In my dream last night,
we had come back to life in my dream last night

You took us to the back yard
We drank gin and smoked in the dark
While one by one we're led to the woods
Where nothing's left misunderstood

Im my dream last night,
you and I had come back to life in my dream last night

Please bring my car around
I've decided I am leaving town
I want to be gone by the time
Everyone else arrives
They'll see my truth
I'm just more black coffee blues
And if they decide to investigate my choice in drink
I think it's gone too far and I don't know where you are
I'm feeling like your leftovers

Please turn loose my coat
I'm going out for a smoke
If I don't come back tonight
Tell everyone I'm alright
It's not my party
Your friends are all strangers to me
And if they decide to investigate my choice in drink
I think it's gone too far and I don't know who you are
I'm feeling like your leftovers

It's our average night out
I raise a toast to who gets it most
It's our average night out
I'm the dreary sycophant

She's so mad at me right now
And says go and bother someone else
She blows smoke in my face
I dance, she looks the other way
Someone get me out of this place

Lovers bite, lovers scratch, lovers shout, some lovers match
Lovers spit, lovers hit, lovers sweat, some lovers split
Lovers pry, lovers fight, lovers cry ‘cause love's suicide

Average night in
She's reading, I'm staring
Average night in
She's metamorphosizing
She's so scary to me now
It's turning into something else
The thing is looking back at me and it sees a sloth in its misery
Someone get me out of this cage

Lovers bite, lovers scratch, lovers shout, some lovers match
Lovers spit, lovers hit, lovers sweat, some lovers split
Lovers pry, lovers fight, lovers cry ‘cause love's suicide

It's an average ending
Checking calls on the phone
It's an average ending
I'm the pilot drone
The monsters have all changed now
I am missing things I shouldn't be
Plastic scenes boring me
No lover keeps my sanity
Someone put me back on my stage

Lovers bite, lovers scratch, lovers shout, some lovers match
Lovers spit, lovers hit, lovers sweat, some lovers split
Lovers pry, lovers fight, lovers cry ‘cause love's suicide

Me and the little woman were doing lines of coke
Behind the counter in the comic book store
And the bells in the yard were ringing
And the bells in the yard were ringing
No one here is thinking is anybody sinking?

Cocaine

Do you want to stop, not today but soon?
We are so in love
Do you think we'll die that soon?

Me and the little woman
were driving the snow plow, killing rockstars
And the wells in the squares were flowing
And the pockets in the store were bulging
No one here is thinking, especially me

The nurse is on her knees
Doctor is a junky
Intensity's incredible
With feelings of an animal
So much to adore
Can't take in anymore

What a way to go you say
Well solid kid keep your head
Or else she just might wind up dead

Give into the things we crave
It crashes down like a tidal wave
Cutting off the circulation
It's time to say goodbye to this one

What a way to go you say
Well solid kid don't lose your head
Or else he just might wind up dead

What a way to go you say
Well solid kid keep your wits
And by the end of this day we'll all be rich

Liposuction, augmentation, brow lift and a dermabrasion
Rhinoplasty, mastopexy, calf implants and brachioplasty
And now for some sex appeal
Don't forget the chemical peel
Never had to go to school
Just pop pills and cut up fools

What a way to go you say
Well solid kid don't lose your head
Or else that thing might wind up dead

What a way to go you say
Well solid kid keep your wits
And by the end of this day we'll all be rich

Do you feel alright?
From now on it's all night
Cause I will always be right here
Never stop

So you've got something for me?
Well I suggest you wait and see
She said I am tired of you
Yeah well I am sleepy too

Chinese silkworm
Electric mushroom
Rest your head on the controls
And fall to sleep letting go
The finer things they wait for you
On the other side they welcome you
So when you wake two days from now
Tell us what you're all about

She said I am tired of you
Yeah well I am sleepy too
With the few things we need
There comes a time to bleed

Man and space and matter, mathematics, and the mind
The body's growth nutrition, food, and drugs
Sound and hearing, vision, and light
Wearing glasses with a fake nose, thick black eyebrows, and mustache
Try my best to hide from these things but I know that it won't last

Paradise lost your eye
How bizarre you finally are
I feel sorry for you I do
You need some help it's clear you do

Lying in the tub the lights are out
The phone is off the hook
Have not been outside for weeks
Feeling more and more ugly
Maybe I should go away for a long time
And not tell anyone where I am
And not come back till I'm living again
Psycho doctor sing my song
This world and I don't get along

Angel why can't you walk a straight line?
Angel why can't you walk a straight line?

Even with open invitations I know no one will show
They have other places to be
That's how my goodbye stories go
Careening car just passed you by
It always hits some other guy
Baby's crying cause mother's dying
I don't know what's left to say

Angel why can't you walk a straight line?
Angel why can't you walk a straight line?

Half of all I had vanished when my mirror broke yesterday
Where'd it all go?
Woke up then I'm out of bed
I rub my eyes in disbelief
Not a thing has changed
Have I been lying to myself again?

Now they're floating in the pool making up for getting beat up in school
Where are my friends?
Love has been gone for two days and three nights she has gotten lost
On her way back home
Have I been lying to myself?

I never knew I could get this low
How am I going to pull myself up out of this hole?
I never knew I could get this old or lonely
Where in the hell has my life even gone?

Trying to imagine what you meant when you said we were through
I'm still right here tripping through my hollow plans
I'd love to stay here if I can
I'll quit when I want
Have I been lying to myself or have I been lying to you?

I never knew I could get this low
How am I going to pull myself up out of this hole?
I never knew I could get this old or lonely
Where in the hell has my life even gone?
