i don't know what i'm doing here
drown myself down in my beer
with all these creeps out of their heads
crawling home back to their beds
oh no oh no
who turned out the lights
oh no uh oh no
who turned out the lights
no one that i recogniz(s)e
vacant stares filling their eyes
and all my friends left hours ago
but i'm still here drinking alone
oh no oh no
who turned out the lights
oh no uh oh no
who turned out the lights
there's no point in leaving when
empty house closing us in
give us early heart attacks
paint our minds ivory black
oh no oh no
who turned out the lights
oh no uh oh no
who turned out the lights

Where's the Bride
02:16
|
|||
holding hands
waiting while
they stand outside
holding signs
in the church
recite the lines
they've got their lives
i've got mine
all I want is the right
who is that man
judging mine
we were stuck
in the mire
now before god
side by side
holding hands
waiting while
they stand outside
holding signs
hear them say
where's the bride
they've got their lives
here is mine
all I want is the right
so who is that man
judging mine
we were stuck
in the mire
now before god
side by side

Lost On Me
04:51
|
|||
were you even right
were you a lie
were you only lonely
looking for some guy
was i even right
to say you were mine
i was only lonely
like a suicide
i don't know why
it's lost on me
so every other night
i saw your eyes
and you told me slowly
i should run and hide
so i guess you were right
holding inside
we were only lonely
looking for a ride
i don't know why
i don't know why
i don't know why it's lost on me
can you turn on the light
show me your eyes
were you only lonely
looking for a ride
and if i had the right
to say you were mine
would i be so lonely
like a suicide
i've been waiting
too long to see
if we work out

I Won't Be Back
04:59
|
|||
it's a railroad, bill
and we're right on track
to the end of the line
and we won't be back
oh babe what do you think of that
i won't be back
i won't be back
the tracks stretch out
to the mountain's wall
out there at night
no one hears your call
oh babe what do you think of that
we're right on track
and i won't be back
the world is big
and the world is sad
the world don't care
about the dreams you had
oh baby what do you think of that
we're right on track
and i won't be back
oh babe i keep waiting on a call that doesn't come
oh babe i keep waiting on a call that never comes
there's a call that never comes
it'll come someday
'til my hair turns white as snow
til there's no one left here i know
when the river stops to flow
and nobody here remembers my name
you never know
where the days will end
in the arms of love
or around the bend
oh baby what do you think of that
we're right on track
and i won't be back

Don't Know Who I Am
02:35
|
|||
everything's a weight
everything's a fight
is it just too late to say i'll be alright
gotta stay awake
gotta stick around
what's it even mean anymore
to say i'll burn it down
i don't give a damn anymore
what could they do to me
i don't know who i am anymore
everybody shake
everybody cry
everybody work
everybody die
i don't give a damn anymore
what could they do to me
i don't know who i am anymore
nothing gets through to me

Modern Wave
03:32
|
|||
my, my, don't be shy
can't you kiss yourself goodbye
out here we're all alone
the same as everyone
dear god we know you're here
and you know we're so sincere
out there ain't no home
for anyone lost from you
big boy you just don't know
all the clouds will kill ya slow
long 'fore the bombs went off
you couldn't go out in the sun
dear god we know you're near
and you know we're so sincere
in here we eat from cans
and fall asleep holding our guns
we're the modern men
drowning in a modern-made wave

Wasting Daylight
02:49
|
|||
we lost it before we had a clue
how can you cry for a girl you never knew
wasting the daylight
the clouds hang in the sky
stuck on the turnpike
the cars go driving by
so where are you now
but i was never sure
i thought that i was sure
but i was never sure
and now you're gone
just like a poet
completely soft and scared
what could we share but
just being unprepared
wasting the daylight
the clouds come back for more
i thought of when but i never thought what for
so where are you now
but i was never sure
i thought that i was sure
but i was never sure
and now you're gone

Hurry Up N Die
03:26
|
|||
Everybody's talking like they're all for sale
I was right behind you and you lost my tail
Oh there goes my baby
Finally time to leave
Hiding what's gone
When you go numb
Everyone's gonna see
So whenever you're free
Of the reasons why
Baby don't worry
I'll hurry up and die
I would my mind is like a new white wall
I don't think about you
Hardly not at all
Not that I think you love me
Never even thought you'd try
Everyone's Gone
They all took some
Everybody leaves you dry
Keep it inside
Baby don't worry
I really don't mind
When you get done
Out in that sun
Everybody sees you cry
So when you fall back
and you can't get through
Baby don't worry
You're gonna die too
Baby don't worry
I'll hurry up and die

Louder
02:24
|
|||
who's that calling now
who's that crying out
it's so much louder to me
yeah so much louder to me
trucks and children howl
through the window
how it's so much louder to me
you could say no one's home today
is this right
i just say goodnight
i still say goodnight

Good Exposure
02:47
|
|||
what did I do
what do I care
and what am I doing
when I see them all stare
what do they know
what's the big plan
and what am I doing when
i hear the door slam
i mean what are they doing when they hear who I am
what is good exposure
put it in my obituary
what am I thinking when I meet them halfway
what did I say
what did I draw
and were they thinking when they saw what they saw
i mean what was I thinking when I saw what they saw
what is good exposure
put it in my obituary
what am I thinking when I meet them halfway
what do I do
what do they know
and what are they thinking
when they watch the big show
i mean what are they thinking
when they pay for that show
