Obstacle 1

Surprise, sometimes, will come around Surprise, sometimes, will come around I will surprise you sometime I’ll come around Oh, I will surprise you sometime I’ll come around when you're down

I wish I could eat the salt off your last faded lips We can cap the old times make playing only logical harm We can top the old lines clay-making that nothing else will change But she can read, she can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad She can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad Oh, she's bad But it's different now that I'm poor and aging I'll never see this face again You go stabbing yourself in the neck We can find new ways of living make playing only logical harm And we can top the old times, clay-making that nothing else will change But she can read, she can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad She can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad Oh, she's bad It's in the way that she posed It's in the things that she puts in my head Her stories are boring and stuff She's always calling my bluff She puts the, she puts the weights into my little heart And she gets in my room and she takes it apart She puts the weights into my little heart I said she puts the weights into my little heart

She packs it away It's in the way that she walks Her heaven is never enough She puts the weights in my heart She puts, oh she puts the weights into my little heart

NYC

I had seven faces Thought I knew which one to wear But I'm sick of spending these lonely nights Training myself not to care The subway is a porno Pavements they are a mess I know you've supported me for a long time Somehow I'm not impressed But New York cares (got to be some more change in my life) Subway she is a porno And the pavements they are a mess I know you've supported me for a long time Somehow I'm not impressed It's up to me now, turn on the bright lights But New York cares (got to be some more change in my life) It's up to me now, turn on the bright lights Oh, it's up to me now, turn on the bright lights

PDA

Yours is the only version of my desertion that I could ever subscribe to That is all that I can do You are a past sinner, the last winner, I'm raping all around me Until the last drop is behind you But you're so cute when you're frustrated, dear Yeah, you're so cute when you're sedated, oh dear Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you can...

Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you can Sleep tonight Sleep tonight Sleep tonight You are the only person who's completely certain there's nothing here to be into That is all that you can do You are a past sinner, the last winner, and everything we've come to makes you you But you cannot safely say that while I will be away, you will not consider sadly How you helped me to stray And you will not reach me I am resenting a position that's past resentment and now I can't consider, and now there is this distance, so...

Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you can...

Sleep tight, grim rite, we have two hundred couches where you can Sleep tonight Sleep tonight Sleep tonight Something to say Something to do Nothing to say There's nothing to do

Say Hello To The Angels I want your silent parts The parts the birds love I know there's such a place I had my back turned You didn't realize I'm lonely

This isn't you yet What you thought was such a conquest Your hair is so pretty and red Baby, baby you're really the best...

Can I get there this way?

I think so

You lack the things To which I relate But I see no harm

We should take a trip now to see new places I'm sick of this town I see my face has changed

Come wait, come wait, come wait It's over One...two...three...do me

Say hello, say hello, to the angels

When I'm feeling lazy, it's probably because I'm saving all my energy to pick up when you move into my airspace You move into my airspace And something's coming over me, I see you in the doorway I can't control the part of me that swells up when you move into my airspace You move into my airspace But each night, I bury my love around you...

You're linked to my innocence This is a concept This is a bracelet This isn't no intervention

Hands Away

Will you put my hands away?

Will you be my man?

Serve it up, don't wait Let's see about this ham Oh, what happened?

Oh, what happened?

Home spun desperation's knowing Inside your cover's always blown

Obstacle 2

I'm gonna pull you in close, gonna wrap you up tight Gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight I'm gonna hold your face and toast the snow that fell Because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell I feel like love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye I think he's making something special and I'm smart enough to try If you don't trust yourself for at least one minute each day Well, you should trust in this, girl, cause loving is coming our way If you can fix me up, girl, you'll go a long way If you can fix me up, girl, you'll go a long way

I'll stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days (Take my love in these small doses) It takes a long time just to get this all straight (Take my love in these small doses) I'll showcase on Route 7 when I find the right place (Take my love in these small doses) It takes a long time just to get this all straight (Take my love in these small doses) In my mind This is my free time Because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell If you can fix me up, girl, you'll go a long way If you can fix me up, girl, you'll go a long way I'll stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days (Take my love in these small doses) I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way (Take my love in these small doses) I'll showcase on route 7 when I find the right place (Take my love in these small doses) It takes a long time just to get this all straight (Take my love in these small doses) In my mind This is my free time To break it all away Spend it all today Spend it all today It took time, then I found you It took time, then I found you

Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down When she walks down the street She knows there's people watching The building fronts are just fronts To hide the people watching her But she once fell through the street Down a manhole in that bad way The underground drip Was just like her scuba days Days Daze Days Daze

She was all right because the sea was so airtight, she broke away She is all right but she can't come out tonight, she broke away At the bottom of the ocean she dwells Her caresses caressed by fingers And fat blue serpent swells Stella, Stella, oh Stella Stella I love you, Stella I love you, Stella I love you She was all right because the sea was so airtight, she broke away She is all right but she can't come out tonight, she broke away Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love drug diver She went down, down, down there into the sea Yeah, she went down, down, down there Down there for me, right on So good, oh yeah, right on (There's something that's invisible There's some things you can't hide Try detect you when I'm sleeping In a wave you say goodbye . . .)

Roland

My best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives He carries them all over the town at least he tries—oh look, it stopped snowing My best friend's from Poland and, oh, he has a beard But they caught him with his case in a public place that is what we had feared He severed segments and secretely liked that He always had the time to speak with me I liked him for that He severed segments and secretely liked that He always took the time He always took the time C'mon now pussycat My best friend's a butcher, he has sixteen knives He carries them all over the town at least he tries oh look it stopped snowing My best friend's from Poland and oh he has a beard But they caught him with his case in a public place that is what we had feared He severed segments and secretely liked that He always had the time to speak with me I liked him for that He severed segments and secretely liked that He was growing on me He was growing on me

The New

I wish I could live free I hope it's not beyond me Settling down it takes time One day we'll live together And life will be better I have it here yeah in my mind Baby, you know someday you'll slow Baby, my heart's been breaking I gave a lot to you I take a lot from you too You slave a lot from me Guess you could say I gave you my edge I can't pretend I need to defend Some part of me from you I know I've spent some time a-lying I can't pretend I don't need to defend Some part of me from you I know I've spent some time a-lying You're looking alright tonight I think we should go You're looking alright tonight I think we should go

Leif Erikson

She says it helps with the lights out Her rabid glow is like braille to the night She swears I’m a slave to the details But if your life is such a big joke, why should I care?

The clock is set for nine but you know you’re gonna make it eight So that you two can take some time, teach each other to reciprocate She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves But she doesn’t know that I left my urge in the icebox She swears I’m just prey to the female Well then hook me up and throw me, baby cakes, cuz I like to get hooked The clock is set for nine but you know you’re gonna make it eight All the people that you’ve loved they’re all bound to leave some keepsakes I’ve been swinging all the time, think it’s time to learn your way I picture you and me together in the jungle it would be ok I’ll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night That is supposing that you don’t sleep tonight It’s like learning a new language Helps me catch up on my mime If you don’t bring up those lonely parts This could be a good time It’s like learning a new language You come here to me We’ll collect those lonely parts and set them down You come here to me She says brief things, her love’s a pony My love’s subliminal She says brief things, her love’s a pony My love’s subliminal
