"Happy Holidays"
Every single New Year
You howl owl
Telling, all the reasons you hide
You hide
Maybe tomorrow will get you
Up against the man
And you can never forget me
If I don't take a stand
You made up a reason
to sing a love song
to drown out the season
This holiday goes long and carries on
You're crazy
Singing love songs like you mean it
Like you need it
I just got that letter from the right side of hell
Telling all the reasons we should run and hide
Maybe tomorrow I'll let you
Know where I stand
And you can never forget to
See it differe(a)nt
You made up a reason
To sing a love song
It drowns out the season
This holiday goes long and carries on
Your crazy
Singing love songs like you mean it
Like you need it
You made up a reason
To sing a love song
It drowns out the season
This holiday goes on and you're not strong you're crazy
Singing love songs like you mean it
Like you need it

Better Than This

"Better Than This"
When I run
I run for guns
I can't project
I can protect
My little young ones
You lie for me
I lie for you
I get stumped
I get jumped
I'm gonna die for you
The weight for me
I cannot change
I've got to run to something better than
I need to know
You're better than this
You're better than this
It's true
You're better than this
You're better than this
Says who
It's your heart
Echoing a past you can't improve
Miles ahead
or miles behind
I get lost
I get frost
I get found out
I wake from my own Avalon
It's not wrong
It's all won
Looks like I died for you
I Love because I cannot change
Everything that is not separate
I need to know
You're better than this
You're better than this
It's true
You're better than this
You're better than this
Says who
It's your heart
Echoing a past you can't remove
You act like your dumb
Pretend you're one of them
Judy Blume
You and your behavior
Full of rage and savoring derring-do
You're better than this
You're better than this
It's true
You're better than this
You're better than this
Says who
You better believe there's something they're asking of you
Be better than this be better than this
It's cruel, your heart,
echoing the darkness you can't remove
We all declare
I'm innocent
But you're willful in your ignorance
It breaks your heart
It makes you cry
You wonder how you didn't die
It's because you didn't die

"A Little Respect"
I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
Why you make me work so hard
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
And if I should falter
Would you open you arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
You know you make me work so hard
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Run Away

"Run Away"
You can run away
You can't stop that feeling right now
If you begged me to stay
I might run a ground
and bristle in my walk
Turn it around
I'm on the back of what you can't see out
You can run away
You can run away
You can feel a fever of doubt
That's begging you to stay
and turn yourself out
Wiggle when you walk
Had a laugh now
Your on the back of what you can't see out
Everyone positive not electron election
I'm on a bushel of thieves
And you can't run away
You can run away
You can catch a fever right now
Begging you to stay
on the heels of so proud
People like to talk
They say it so loud
It's on my back and I can't see out
Wish something made you feel safe in this crowd
Wish some madness could wilt
out
I want out

"Last Legs"
Powder for power
Dour and pale
You gotta roll into the punches
You gotta wail
Tell a good story
a fish in a pail
You gotta worm your way on hooks to weasel a deal
Kids in the crib
Clock on a fuse
Born under the punches
I knew
Bob and weave
Stick and move
One more round left in me
I'm through
I'm on my last legs
Hand on the bible
Pushing a crutch
Better off stinking, thinking, drinking
I've had enough
I could be liable
A fit and a cost
I could be pulling all my punches
I might right down on my hunches
Kids in the crib
Clock on a fuse
Born under the punches
I knew
Bob and weave
Stick and move
One more round left in me
I'm through
I'm on my last legs
I'm on my last legs
Led with my body
Lead with my chin
Punching out the walls I am within
I might be sour
You have to fit in
I got one more round with in me to begin
I'm on my last legs

I WANT TO LIVE IN OUTER SPACE
RUSSIANS CAN’T DO IT AND THE CHINESE JUST TRY TO SAVE FACE
IF THEY JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE I KNOW THAT I COULD RUN THE PLACE
BUT I’M JUST A STAIN ON THEIR WALL.
I’M JUST A STAIN ON THEIR WALL.
YEAH I CAN HOLD MY PEE
I’VE EATEN ALL THE DEHYDRATED ICE CREAM.
I’VE WATCHED CONTACT SO MANY TIMES I KNOW ALL OF JODIE FOSTER’S LINES.
BUT I WON’T GO THROUGH THE WORMHOLE
NO I WON’T BE AN ASTRONAUT.
NO I WON’T GO WHERE THEY GO NO NO NO
I BEGGED EM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES.
BUT THEY JUST PUSHED ME TO THE GROUND.
SO I STOLE MY OWN ROCKET SHIP AND STARTED UP MY OWN COUNTDOWN.
I TRIED ALL THE CONTROLS BUT I COULDN’T MAKE IT GO.
AS THE CONSTELLATIONS SLIPPED AWAY.
NO I WON’T GO WHERE THEY GO NO NO NO

Take

"Take"
Take
Take what you can get
When you disappear
Nervous as a cat
In a room of rocking chairs
A string so tightly wound
A ring
let's drown out the sound
Now
Who's running out on who
Take what you can get
The world becomes diffuse
And we tend to forget
The means to lock it down
In dreams we don't touch the ground
Take
Take what you can get
You will disappear
And once upon a time
You were always here
To fill in missing pieces
Now nothing's coming easy
So I cease to need to
Know everything that you do
To push the pieces off the board
and then tell me how this works
How can this work
What makes this work

"Detroit"
I don't bite and I don't beg
You seem to make me anyway
Is there a process
am I on my way out
Your brittle heart
Your little head
You are the same old idiot
In the basement ripping up the charts
Feed them lies like they glean hedges
I hate to live in present tenses
You got me barking
I wanna be your dog
It hurts your heart
It hurts your head
Unaware you're drinking lead
I've never been scared since I was born
I'm right on the edge
I'm right on the pieces
I'm right on Detroit
I'm right on Detroit
I might bite but I can't beg
You're gonna make me anyway
There's no process
I'm a fist full of gut
All the lies stop and siege
Your barking orders industry
I'm not lying
I'm ridden in bed
I'm right on the edge
I'm right on the precipice
I'm right on Detroit
I'm right on Detroit
5432321
Who's gonna make these fuckers pay
Round them up
You think your in charge
Shut up Shut up Shut up
I'm right on the edge
I'm right on the pieces
I'm right on Detroit
I'm right on Detroit
Hey it's your city now
You want to burn it to the ground
We're all pitching in
Hey it's your city now
You want to turn it all around
We're all in Detroit

"Broadway"
Hang me all over
I drink to much
Crimson and Clover some honey
I'm asking for it
I hurt all over
While I double dutch
I fell like a brute believing
I am mensch
You're on Broadway
Tonight
Go the wrong way
Get it right
It's impossible to fit in
It's on my back
You're getting my goat
I feel like a brute believing
I need a bigger boat
When I'm in doubt
When I'm need
I got no clout
I'm in to deep
You're on Broadway
Tonight
Go the wrong way
Get it right
It's impossible to fit in
You ought ta know
I'm on my back
I'm clenching my throat
I am a brute believing
I am a goat
Then Simon simply says
I'm compartmentalized
Can you come over with honey
Maybe get me high
You're on Broadway
Tonight
Go the wrong way
Get it right
It's impossible to fit in
On Broadway
You ought ta know

Best Friend

"Best Friend"
And if you're my best friend
How can it ever end
When I can't let you go
You know I'd be lying
If I said I was trying
I can't let you go
This is the fall I make that breaks across my heart
This is the sound of love tearing me apart
I know it's not easy
Reality sees me
I can't let you go
Because your my best friend
How can it ever end
I can't let you go
Bless my soul
Bless my heart
I might be better
than I started off
I hope I can be here
and live in the New Year
I can't let you go
Because your my best friend
How can it ever end
I can't let you go
No, I can't let you go
