All I Wanna Do Is Go Home 03:18
lyrics
All I Wanna Do Is Go Home On the wrong side of the day You had your makeup still on And a little on my face Cute little lines under your eyes As you take your sip of coffee Every moment is like the first time To tears an image brought me From the moment I stepped outside All I wanna do is go home All I wanna do is go home Where me and you can be alone All I wanna do is go home Now I’m walking around in a haze Never could figure out What to do during the day I remember falling asleep On your roommate’s couch And when he sold it to me How we made it ours From the second I stepped onto the street All I wanna do is go home All I wanna do is go home Where me and you can be alone All I wanna do is go home You were wearing that happy/sad look You always have on when you’re leaving I was in the kitchen with the radio blues Struggling into my shoes Barely breathing Locked the door and sighed with grief

Social Skills 02:45
lyrics
Social Skills Someone gave me a name and I threw it away I used to learn anything Now I only learn names But what if I had Trouble making all those friends? Would I be miserable or altogether different? Would I be lonely or happy? Or about the same? Without Social skills Expensive thrills Made 1000 friends in 1000 towns But which one’s paying my bills? Couldn’t reach the stars Was too busy rotting in bars Only wishing they’d play that song ’til I disappear Here’s to social skills Someone gave me a face and I threw it away Had to hide it a couple of times before it agreed with me But never gave me no trouble Making all those friends And if it had Would I be miserable or different? Would I be lonely or happy? Or about the same? without Social skills Expensive thrills Made 1000 friends in 1000 towns But which one’s paying my bills? Couldn’t reach the stars Was too busy rotting in bars Only wishing they’d play that song ’til I disappear Here’s to social skills Can’t deny Time flies by when you’ve only got Social skills Someone gave me a name and I threw it away man I used to know something now I only got Social skills Expensive thrills Made 1000 friends in 1000 towns But which one’s paying my bills? Couldn’t reach the stars Was too busy rotting in bars Only wishing they’d play that song ’til I disappear Here’s to social skills Can’t deny Time flies by when you’ve only got Social skills

Take It Away 02:43
lyrics
Take It Away Everyday we try to think of something new Pray every doorway leads to inspirational cues Hope different footprints take From our same old tired shoes And if they don’t We’re just like everybody But that don’t Matter to me Cuz I got you Oh my god You got me singing When you get sad I’ll take it away from you When you get mad I’ll take it away from you When things get bad And there’s nothing left to do I’ll take your hand and I’ll take it away Take it away I’ll take it away from you Everyday we feel the pain inside Pray some event is gonna take us for a ride Hope our existence leads to new remedies to survive And if they don’t We’re just like everybody But that don’t Matter to me Cuz I got you Oh my god You got me singing When you get sad I’ll take it away from you When you get mad I’ll take it away from you When things get bad And there’s nothing left to do I’ll take your hand and I’ll take it away Take it away I’ll take it away from you If you get down Hanging by a thread Headed downtown With those demons again Everyday we return to our youth Pray for experience to show us every truth Hope that our ignorance makes us stylishly aloof And if they don’t We’re just like everybody But that don’t Matter to me Cuz I got you Oh my god You got me singing When you get sad I’ll take it away from you When you get mad I’ll take it away from you When things get bad And there’s nothing left to do I’ll take your hand and I’ll take it away Take it away

Fifteen 04:11
lyrics
Fifteen Jeffrey walked out the door Who knows what for Danny not far behind Who knows why Took us to Coney Island On the coaster and around again I loved it so oh oh And I’m Still in the backseat Listening to the backbeat Ears ringing inside me On a red convertible highway Still looking for nothing In love with a melody Danny riding beside me Under a Rockaway sky Joey left through the door Fifteen years before today Eleven years before David died Now it’s been Almost 24 years ago “I Wanna Be Sedated” “Nothing to do Nowhere to go oh oh” And I’m Still in the backseat Listening to the backbeat Ears ringing inside me On a red convertible highway Still looking for nothing In love with a melody Danny riding beside me Under a Rockaway sky Do you remember the rock and roll mixtape? “Rockaway Beach”, “I Wanna Be Sedated” It’s the end The end of your suffering And I’m Still in the backseat Listening to the backbeat Ears ringing inside me On a red convertible highway Still looking for nothing In love with a melody Danny riding beside me Under a Rockaway sky Fifteen years ago Joey left the world Singing about a girl

The Bartender 03:35
lyrics
The Bartender You can have the bartender if you want her You can have the bartender if you want her Cuz baby I’m in love with the psychologist’s daughter I just want a drink tonight Black dress black hair and glasses Birthday bliss and Bowery passes Were yesterday They made me feel ok But nothing gave me security Like the love I get from her You can have the bartender if you want her You can have the bartender if you want her Cuz baby I’m in love with the psychologist’s daughter I just want a drink tonight Bussing tables to record my songs Cancelled cable to avoid the long nights Lying awake They made me feel ok But nothing gave me security Like the love I get from her When she cries She never lies to me You can have the bartender if you want her You can have the bartender if you want her Cuz baby I’m in love with the psychologist’s daughter I just want a drink tonight Your bartender flirts for her railroad rent The regular wants one for the road he won’t exit ’til there’s nothing left to see of your bartender ..isn’t she sweet? Isn’t she beautiful? You can have her if you want her She keeps your glass half-full You can have her if you want her Your heart half-empty You can have her if you want her Isn’t she sweet? Isn’t she beautiful? You can have her if you want her She keeps your glass half-full You can have her if you want her And your heart half-empty You can have her if you want her I just want a drink tonight

Come On In 03:25
lyrics
Come On In Different roads Winding into knots Different faces Were familiar long ago But are you good enough to forget? Are you good enough to forget? Well come on in You look like you could use a friend I wouldn’t mind seeing you again Come on in Different eyes Witnessing the plot Different tattoos Bringing the same news But are you good enough to forget? Are you good enough to forget? Come on in You look like you could use a friend I wouldn’t mind seeing you again Come on in Don’t wanna talk Don’t wanna understand Just wanna be a friend Just wanna be a friend

The Face I'm Missing 02:51
lyrics
The Face I’m Missing New city tomorrow and I’m Feeling the sorrow cuz I’m Gonna need that someone along the way The rain on the telephone wire Looks the same everywhere Take it away… The face that I’m missing Always keeps me wishing I’d stay exactly where I am Thinking of someone besides myself It’s not that I like being apart I just need to know there’s a part of me Somewhere else The face that I’m missing New feeling tomorrow and I Need an image to borrow so I Can make it through another blurry day The rain on the telephone wire Looks the same everywhere Take it away… The face that I’m missing Always keeps me wishing I’d stay exactly where I am Thinking of someone besides myself It’s not that I like being apart I just need to know there’s a part of me Somewhere else The face that I’m missing The rain on the telephone wire Ringing in my head my desire The rain on the telephone wire Looks the same everywhere Take it away I just need to know there’s a part of me somewhere else…

Boy In Photographs 02:57
lyrics
Boy In Photographs I was the boy in photographs Looking back at the boy being photographed He’s got his future in the plans of my father’s hands I was the boy in photographs Will he put them in a frame To hold or to hang above the hurried years? When they’re a little out of focus do they Better represent his view through the worry of a tear? And if I knew before you knew Can we go way back to when I was the boy in photographs Looking back at the boy being photographed He’s got his future in the plans of my father’s hands I was the boy in photographs Will he put them in an album Four to a page to grow mellow and yellow with age? Will he wince and ask: why use a flash? Is it to lighten the darker days? And if time was a flash to you Can we go way back to when I was the boy in photographs Looking back at the boy being photographed He’s got his future in the plans of my father’s hands I was the boy in photographs In the middle of a sunken mattress In the middle of a dream Our place in the middle of a book we believed

Teeth Grinding 02:51
lyrics
Teeth Grinding All night! Like a rake through a pile of leaves I feel alright But something’s giving me a squeeze From every muscle inside my mouth To the blood that’s running down And I’m chewing my mind Chewing my mind Saying goodbye for now Teeth grinding To anyone up listening Teeth grinding The only thing that I ever dream Teeth grinding Left to right to your heartbeat Teeth grinding Tonight ain’t gonna get no peace All night! Like a piano slamming its own keys I’m not uptight But i’m shaking like it’s Friday thirteenth And tomorrow’s my lucky day I’ll be singing like Tommy Waits And I’m chewing my mind Chewing my mind Saying goodbye for now Teeth grinding To anyone up listening Teeth grinding The only thing that I ever dream Teeth grinding Left to right to your heartbeat Teeth grinding Tonight ain’t gonna get no peace Giving me a squeeze Every time I close my eyes A little miracle every morning That there’s anything left of me All night! To the stereo in my ear I feel alright It’s the music I never hear From every muscle inside my mouth To the blood that’s running down And I’m chewing my mind Chewing my mind Saying goodbye for now Teeth grinding To anyone up listening Teeth grinding The only thing that I ever dream Teeth grinding Left to right to your heartbeat Teeth grinding Tonight ain’t gonna get no peace No tonight ain’t gonna get no peace

Pushing You Away 02:35
lyrics
Pushing You Away Let’s start a fire Get lost in flames Wanna make you higher than you’ve ever been But your eyes are too fickle They see what they say And your heart is a blinker Turning away Let’s start a choir A tone deaf prayer I wanna take you to that beautiful somewhere But your feet are too homeschooled They learned where they stay And your heart is a blinker Turning away I know I’m pushing my luck Bad as it may be I’m pushing you away from me Chasing love down a dead-end street I’m pushing you away from me Let’s start a wire A late-night connection Mix our desire with a curious affection But your hands are a mirror They mimic anyway And your heart is a blinker Turning away I know I’m pushing my luck Bad as it may be I’m pushing you away from me Chasing love down a dead-end street I’m pushing you away from me Pushing you away from me Chasing love to the edge You’re gonna turn on me I’m after something Following my heart to your heart To the darkest part of the city Let’s make a movie A tacky matinee Wanna tell you what you do But I can’t convey And your ears are impressionable They like what I say While your heart is a blinker Turning away I know I’m pushing my luck Bad as it may be I’m pushing you away from me Chasing love down a dead-end street I’m pushing you away from me Pushing you away from me Pushing you away from me

I Got No Feeling Tonight 02:34
lyrics
I Got No Feeling Tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight My ears are ringing thunder Cuz today’s done a number on my head I should’ve left it under Every pillow every cover like you said yeah Sometime’s I wanna go And rest my head on a big black pavement Other times I dunno But every now and then I get this feeling I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I could have spent all of my money On a headache for every one of my friends But I left my telephone In another time zone instead yeah Sometime’s I wanna go And stare into that infinite ceiling Other times I dunno But every now and then I get this feeling I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight woo! Sometime’s I wanna go And stare into that infinite ceiling Other times I dunno But every now and then I get this feeling Spend all of my time Trying to get there on time Not again I think I’ll just sit here and wait ’Til it’s too late, yeah. Because I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling tonight I got no feeling

Remember My Luck 03:01
lyrics
Remember My Luck I was born with a thorn Cleft lip and palate The children would ask how My face was flattened Had to shrug it off to survive While my mother kept me alive Through medication Consultations And guilt But I remember my luck The woman in front of me Remember my luck When the world is dragging me down I take another look around Divorce was the first thing I remember Double holidays and cold Decembers Had to bundle up to survive While my father kept me alive Through hesitation Manic depression And guilt But I remember my luck The woman in front of me Remember my luck When the world is dragging me down I take another look around And I never wanted anything I couldn’t get Privilege has a way of letting you forget When you think you’ve had enough of the Earth Everybody who got it worse How she ever loved me I would wonder A mystery to me My beautiful lover Had to cuddle up to survive Every woman kept me alive Through indifference Heartbreak and Jealousy But I remember my luck The woman in front of me Remember my luck When the world is dragging me Remember my luck The woman in front of me Remember my luck When the world is dragging me down I take another look around
