1. SITUATION

Why do you define and never allow?
You want to understand but don't know how.
You'll look inside the ones who've got it made.

I'm thinking of the time before I knew you.
Not just because I'm seeing through you.
Our customary visions that we've made.

This British arm belongs to some distinguished gentleman.
How long have you been in this situation?
You'll look inside the one's who've got it made.

Why do you define and never allow?
You want to define but don't know how.
You'll look inside the ones who've got it made.


2. FIGURE NOTHING

When you decide that your work is done
You'll figure it out.
And everything else that you have never done
Is certain and proud.

You'll never figure it out.
You'll never figure it out.

Carry the lies that you were never told
And bury the right.
And everyone knows that you were never alone
On every night.

You'll never figure it out.
You'll never figure it out.

Mary the rose plugs her ugly son every night.
It's nobody's business 'til her son's complaint
Is shedding the light.

There's nothing to it at all.
There's nothing to it at all.
There's nothing to it at all.
There's nothing to it at all.

Apparently sliced beside her garden wall,
She's severed and white.
The only advice that you can never know is
In this meaningless life.

You'll never figure it out.
There's nothing to it at all.

Anywhere I can go.
There isn't anywhere I can go.
Anywhere you can go.
There isn't anywhere you can go.
Anywhere I can go.
There isn't anywhere I can go.
Anywhere you can go.
There isn't anywhere you can go.


3. TAKING OFF

I wanna crawl up inside you
And never go away.
I wanna crawl up inside you
And be on my way.

I saw me riding beside you
But I was not on board.
I wasn't riding beside you on another shore.

I wasn't reading the writing I was breaking off.
It's just as easy to take instead of taking off.

It's just as raw as a slide rule.
That's what your brother swore.
He said, "It smoulders inside you and it keeps you warm."

I wasn't reading the writing I was breaking off.
It's just as easy to take instead of taking off.

I wanna crawl up inside you
And never go away.
I wanna crawl up inside you
And be on my way.

I saw me riding beside you
But I was not on board.
I wasn't riding beside you on another shore.

I wasn't reading the writing I was breaking off.
It's just as easy to take instead of taking off.
I wasn't reading the writing I was breaking off.
It's just as easy to take instead of taking off.


4. STRANGER'S SON

You can't escape from your violent situation
Despite your predictions.
I've come back to say something.
Larry is clearing his goat.
I was a stranger's son.

I was a stranger's son but now I have no one.
You were gone.
Well maybe I was wrong.

You're Carol's own.
Now you're finally walking alone.
Two marrows, G.E.X.
As much as you fear there is nothing to do but go home.
You have your pager on.

You have your pager on.
You never turn it on to receive the message on your sleeve.

Somebody said never wear what you see on the set.
That made you tear your sheets on your bed.
Tons of your dough while your mother is dying below.
Murderer RKO.

You were a stranger then.
When you come back again I'll be gone.
We never get along
Cuz you're a scum-faced f*ck.
I hope your car gets crushed.


5. FLUFFY

So what if isolation, see?
You'd never take control of me.
I'll shadow all the races on
To where we'll see.

The shabby fungus placed her sheets
Into the silence where they creep
No matter how, they get along.

And you can't go on
To where you think you've gone
And you don't compete
Unraveled, long, and incomplete
And you're out of reach.

It freaks the television's breath.
My hunky son cannot forget
The road he never thought he left.
His honest knees.

Where were the straps that bound you?
I thought that I'd surround you.
You were determined to stop the score from scoring.

And you can't go on
To where you think you've gone
And you don't compete
Unraveled, long, and incomplete
And you're out of reach.

Where were the straps that bound you?
I thought that I'd surround you.
You were determined to stop the score from scoring.

And you can't go on
To where you think you've gone
And you won't compete
Unraveled, long, and incomplete
And you're out of reach.
You're out of reach.
Out of reach.


6. HURDLE

There's a hurdle you've been thinking about.
You told me yesterday.
In the middle is the only way out.
You told me what to say
Yesterday.

I must be fooling myself
Or else I'm fooling you.
I do whatever I can.

There's a hurdle you've been thinking about.
You told me yesterday.
In the middle is the only way out.
You told me what to say
Yesterday.

The only way out was what you knew
You do whatever you can.

There's a hurdle you've been thinking about.
You told me yesterday.
In the middle is the only way out.
You told me what to say
Yesterday.

But there was something wrong.
We were intent to lose.
I couldn't let it just go/die.

There's a hurdle you've been thinking about.
You told me yesterday.
In the middle is the only way out.
You told me what to say
Yesterday.

Yesterday.

I must be fooling myself
Or else I'm fooling you.
I do whatever I can.

There's a reason you've been thinking about.
You told me yesterday.
In the middle is the only way out.
You told me what to say.
There's a reason you've been thinking about.
You told me yesterday.
You told me what to say
Yesterday.


7. PEOPLE AWAY

Instrumental.


8. NEVER OLD

How many days before the cycle missions off?
Was time without a cost?

And you were counting the days you got your presents everywhere...
A license for a stare.
Who never cares?

And that's why.
It's not a life you're waiting on.
What do you know?
It's never gone.

Check on the loan conditions for your family, yeah.
My doctor sheds his soul to share
And standing there in your chair.

How many times you lost control.
Maybe you know you're never old.

Sever the words and crack our minds to freeze.
You've got no sympathy to supercede and that's swell.

Our concentration takes its toll.
Where do you go?
I Wanna know

How many times you lost control.
Well maybe you know
You're never old.

How are you?
What can you lose?
I'm in your shoes.


9. TORN LINING

The mess you're in.
What wasn't going your way when you've got everything
Except restraint?
And don't receive your bad estate.
The longest kind of wait.

A college educated waste of your life.
You're lying to yourself and so's your wife.
The longest reach that started late is sealing your fate.

What you're looking for.

Imagination lead me right to my death.
A complication causing one more breath.
The lining tears, so watch it glow.
What do you know?

What you're looking for.
What you're doing now.
Where you're heading to.

Sometimes I can't accept the things that I've left.
There's only one solution to accept.
These boring fears will stretch and blow.
Who says it's not so?

The patients beg to be defended for less.
A co-conclusion puts our minds to rest.
What you can't feel you cannot make.
You're controlling our fate.

What you're heading to.
What we never show.
And many faces know
Where we ought to go.


10. GRAPHIC SEX IN A DISNEY MOVIE

Instrumental.


11. SEASON OF RELIEF

You wanted to be my season of relief.
I wanted to buy you cars and everything.
You never stay and yet you never go away.
You never fear and now you're on your way.
You're on your way.
You're on your way.

You wanted to tell but I don't want to hear.
You don't have to sell me fields of your despair.
You never stay and now you seem so far away.
You shoot the years and clouds get in your way.
They get in your way.
They get in your way.

Now I can't see you.
Now I can't give you what you want.
I can't believe that you would go.
I didn't want to know that you've come undone.
That you've come undone.

There's nothing to say and there's nothing I can do.
I thought I could find some way to punish you.
You've gone away into another phase of life.
I'll walk around the sun.
You've come undone.
You've come undone.
You've come undone.

Now I can't see you.
Now I can't give you what you want.
I can't believe that you would go.
I didn't want to know.


12. MFSB

Rest along the rocks.
Caucasian illusion, ahhh...
As pure as the unrefined.
My father has lost his mind.
My other has lost his soul.
Resister is growing old and lumber.
Mister, I don't know.
As sure as Sherman's shell
My mother fell in the well.
Encourage and settled, fine.
And Monica shoves the time.
The cunning elections shun.
The ugly contracts will fold and whither.
Mister, I don't know.


13. CONTROL

The conscience that I left to fall apart and die
Will whither in the shadows until the morning light.
If you wanna raise yourself from what you're dragging on.
You can't imagine now but wait until I've gone.

The county that I fled is nearer than I thought.
My loss of control is random, less, and bought.
How can you train the best of things,
Ignoring what you've known?
I want to take control but don't know what I own.

Too much control.
There's too much control.

You can't escape yourself
The same way you escaped from Mars.
My damaged companion still shines among the stars.
I want to give you everything with nothing in return.
The things that I've created will slowly start to burn.

There's too much control.
There's too much control.

My memory can't ever be what it used to be.
I was thinking you'd be able to remember for me.
Of all the impressions I've had all my life
You're what I remember
When I close my eyes.

There's too much control.
There's too much control.

Too much control.


14. IN THE WORLD

In the world.

There won't be a night that I can show you
Or is there some way I can control you?
I wandered around until I'm falling down
To come back again to my reunion.

We wanted the same conditions in the end.
We were both alone in resolution.

In the world, I thought I could show you the world.
In the world, I thought I could show you the world.

I'm waving goodbye to all the old men
And saving advice along the way.
These heavy devices keep your mind in check
And get in the way of evolution.

In the world, I thought I could show you the world.
In the world, I thought I could show you the world.

Thought I could show you the world.
Thought I could show you the world.

I wandered around until I'm falling down
To come back again to my reunion.
We wanted the same conditions in the end.
We were both alone in resolution.

In the world I thought I could show you.
In the world...
Thought I could show you the world.
In the world, thought I could show you the world in the...
Thought I could...

In the world, thought I could
Show you.


15. COTTAGE TREE MEMORY

Instrumental.


16. UP AND DOWN

You go up and I go down.
I'm not ashamed of what I found.
And did you find yourself alone?

My research points to these facts
But my mother turns her back.
And I thought there was something wrong.

Can you refrain from that?
I think of you as a selfish brat.
And you don't know the truth in that.

You go up and I go down.
I'm not ashamed of what I found.
And did you find yourself alone?

One. Two Three. Four.

You go up and
I go down.


17. VINYL

You're in the media's eye.
You're in the media. Why?
You align yourself.
Remember the time you were in that line.

I want to take you alive
To where you go you arrive
Many times, that's all.
Remember the Fall.
I remember too well.

Where it's aligned, the vinyl melts.
Where is that line that never helps?
We'll stay in line.

And when you finally decide
You'll have the time of your life.
That was fine for then.
Remember the men in the dying wind.

Where it's aligned, the vinyl melts.
Where is that line that never helps?
We'll stay in line...

How many times he cries for help.
"Are these controls within myself?"
They're in your mind.

You're in the media's eye.
You're in the media. Why?
You align yourself.
Remember the men in the dying wind.

Where it's aligned, the vinyl melts.
Where is that line that never helps?
We'll stay in line.


18. RULE

No one depends on the rules to find their way.
Maybe the causes fall through and that's okay.

You don't have to mean it cause the meaning is artificial.
Even though the greeting is gone, the total less results in one.
Oh well, I hope you find your share.

Wander in and wander out.
I wonder what you're calling about.
Breeding in directionless south
You've got to get your mouth rechecked.
Oh wow...you've got a good reflection.

Psychedelic moo meow they're all conditions you're allowing.
When is wish and audio ouch the message for your couch: Direct.
For now I hope it somehow sets you free.

No one depends on the rules to find their way.
Maybe the causes fall through and that's okay.

Carry in to carry out to honorary sessions with your army pals.
Even though the meeting was long you've got to
Check your itineraries.
Oh well, I hope you find yourself.

No one depends on the rules to find their way.
Maybe the causes fall through and that's okay.

Caroline and Maryanne and Andrew have a disagreement annually.
As soon as everything is resolved the friction reoccurs again.
Who wins?
I guess it always does depend.

No one depends on the rules to find their way.
Maybe the causes fall through and that's okay.


19. TURN IT BLUE DIZZY CARTOON

I want to take everything I've got and turn it blue
Because you're running the loss of everything you do.
My concentration is not as clear as you can see.
Well, I want to take everything I own and see it swell.
That wouldn't do.
That wouldn't do.

I thought corrections were just a normal part of this
Because the message I learned to say did not exist.
Your hesitation in trust that you were headed for.
I thought the errors we made were easy to ignore.
That wouldn't do.
That wouldn't do.

I thought the cycles that we made were never quite the same.

Because the sources I brought alone won't do their share.
If there was something I should have known I was not aware.
Are all the seasons that go by evidence at best?
I want to know everything that I cannot forget.
That wouldn't do.
That wouldn't do.

I thought the cycles that we made were never quite the same.

I want to take everything I've got and turn it blue.
Take everything and give it back to you.


20. CAPTAIN

Captain.
I think you'd better go.
Make no mistake.
You'd better not be late.
The captain and you and I have gone.

Contraptions surrounding everything.
The harder you hack the less precise you seem.
The captains are left from right...along.

You rate reactions and bury Carrie's things.
A shack in the back.
You run around in things.
Contractions...a part of everything.

Captain.
I hope that no one knows.
You lower the racks and you can
Cut my back.

I want a captain
But you're not one
At all.


21. FROM WHERE I'M FROM

It seems that every word I say you've heard before.
You heard the things you wanted to.
I heard more.
There is no way to figure out.
You're lying in doubt.
You corner us and measure out
The wrong amount.

I can't be sure of where I'm coming from.
I'm from where I've gone.
I hope there's nothing wrong
With someone.

You're the black and the white, don't you know.
There isn't anything I know until you tell me so.
And when I try to reason out I'm facing a crowd.
The more you think you understand now,
The more you doubt.

The rationale of where I'm coming from.
I'm from where I've gone.
I hope there's nothing wrong

From where I'm from it's okay.
I hope you're finding your own way
And you're not regretting the stuff you've done...
Or undone.

Would wishing make it go away?
I thought I knew.
I gave you gave me gave away like we wanted to.
But there's no time to analyze.
That's not your right.
This situation isn't planned out
Beyond our sight.

The answers clear cuz where we're coming from
Is from where we've gone.
I hope there's nothing wrong

From where I'm from it's okay.
I hope you're finding your own way
And you're not regretting the stuff you've done...
Or undone.

There's just one thing that I know.
I only want to see you go
Cuz you're not secure in who you are.


22. CAMERA-SIZED LIFE

In her eyes I become, whether I belong.

Enter lies and receive your fee.
Hello, I know, so let's go alone.

Camera-sized life's begun.
I don't know what I've done.
And if you liked your guys or otherwise.

Tense your bones and reside inside your home.
I can't believe that it's time to leave.

Come inside my head with a bird
You said, "And a broken mind."

Bang your sign and pretend you have a mind
Of bits and screens.
Every in between.

Camera-sized life's begun.
I don't know what I've done.


23. USH

Ush.
I should like to see Ms. Usher.
What is the meaning of this?
Cut into my brain like knives.
It's not a healthy place for you to be.
Return to your bed.
We're dying.
Sounds of any degree whatsoever inspire me with terror.
I can hear the scratch of rat claws.
I'm not leaving you, Madeleine.
Will you leave please?

The fall of the House of Usher.
The fall of the House of Usher.

I'll have no scrawny woman in my home now.
Open your mouth, come on.
Evil is not just a word, it is reality.
At least she has found peace.
There can be no peace without penalty.
Thank you for the coffee.
Don't go down there.
Let her die.

The fall of the House of Usher.
The fall of the House of Usher.

And the deep and dark tant closed silently over the fragments of
The House of Usher.

The fall of the House of Usher.
The fall of the House of Usher.
The fall of the House of Usher.
Ush.


24. ZONOLITE

Instrumental.


25. EARLY GRAVE

Away in some forgotten home you roam
Forget what you were told because it happened years ago.
But you were young and not so worried then
And I was your friend.

I guess I've dug myself into this hole.
My conscience plays the role.
It's getting to the heart and so...
But I was scared.
It wasn't easy then.
You thought that I could bend.

I guess I've dug myself into this hole.

This generation's shot up in some cart.
We're looking at a chart.
We thought that we'd go far.

You're so involved you can't get outside yourself.
I thought that it would sell.
Hell.

I wish there wasn't such a sense of loss.
Forget the final cut.
The opening doors were shut.
Can we shut down?
We haven't found ourselves.
Wedding bell hell.
Hell. Bell. Hell. Bell.

You dig an early grave and
That's okay.


26. GOODBYE

Used to be a fag.
I used to be a bum.
I used to be a vandal.
Now I'm not one.
And I've gotta be on the run.

When they say you're young
They mean you're really crazy.
I go to work and people call me lazy.
But now I'm ready when you are.

Goodbye.
Goodbye to my home and son.
Goodbye.
Goodbye to everyone.

What about the pain and what have you recycled now?
I used to think but now I don't know how.
Now there's money for everyone.

Goodbye.
Goodbye to the future heir.
Goodbye.
I gotta get out of there.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye to my home and son.

Goodbye. Goodbye to everyone.

Listen to the rain and listen to the lies.
What about the pain and what about the cries.

Used to be a fag.
I used to be a bum.
I used to be a vandal.
Now I'm not one.
And I'm leaving before dawn.

Goodbye. Goodbye to relationships.
Goodbye.
Goodbye to all of this.
Goodbye.


27. FALLING DOWN

The verdict's all.
The words exist and fall.
This wedding's off.
A time was never agreed upon.

And if I'm unable to make revisions
You'll want another version like the one before.
It's your decision.

I'll make this right
When there's no end in sight.
You're making more
Out of something that's empty and torn.

Don't want to see those lines with their divisions.
And I don't think I'll hear what you've explained before.
It's leading back to where we've gone before.
I'm not really sure.

I'm coming back.
I guess I turned my back
On everyone and everything.
I never listen to the meaning.

Because the meaning's gone in everything I know.
I've got no faith at all,
That's why I'm falling down.
It's leading back to where we've gone before.
I'm not really sure.


28. HOW CAN I EXPLAIN?

All they really want is what they need.

You look at all the seasons
And think of all the reasons.

How can I explain?
How can I explain?

You look at all the seasons
And think of all the reasons.

How can I explain?
How can I explain?

Look at all the seasons.
Think of all the reasons.

How can I explain?


29. FIX MY WAGON

Kill me please.
I want to be your victim.
Don't bother me unless you can hurt me.
Hurt my knees.
Make sure the camera's on and control us please.
Da da da da.
And kill me please.

Break my back.
I wanna have a heart attack.
My vote won't count in your election.
Steal my drugs.
I've loaded them with poison,
Sealed with love.
La da da da.
And break my back.

Fix my wagon.
Now it's broken.
It won't go.
Unless you can help me.
My my oh.
I'm so afraid that you'll let go again.
Then where will I go.
Oh.

Crush my head
Cuz when it's splitting open
I won't be dead.
Is that what you were hoping?
Throw my brain
Into an empty garbage can again.
Then were will you go?
Oh.


30. MORE LIKE TED

I wanna know more about Ted.
I wanna know of what went on in his head.
I wanna know more about Ted.

I'd like to be more like Ted.
To know how it feels when you're touching the lead.
I wanna know more about Ted.

I wanna know more about Ted.
I'd like to be more like Ted.

Let me go with you wherever you are.
How does it feel when the violins start.
I want to know more about you.
And I want to be more like you.

Don't listen to what everyone said,
What everyone said, Ted.
Don't listen to what everyone said.

We want to know more about you and your life.
We want to know more about you and your life.
We want to know more about you...
And your life.

But he knew more than you,
Whatever you know.
His mind went to places that yours won't go.
He only wanted something more.
He only wanted more.

Let me go with you wherever you are.
Wherever you are.
I see you at night under the stars.

I wanna know more about you.
I wanna be just like you.
