Good morning love, time to arise Time to open up, open up those big blue eyes Good morning love, time to forget Everyone else that's ever been in your bed Good morning love, it's time to seize your days Time to light the world with your pretty face Good morning love, how do you do? Did you sleep well even without me next to you? Good morning love, take me away Into your arms, tell me everything's okay Good morning love, let me feel your heart And know that we'll never be apart Big sky shining in your eyes and I'm so in love with you Engulfed by the clouds so white and I'm so in love with you Bright soul, let me take you home so I can be close to you A chokehold with a phrase so bold but I swear that I love you Good morning love, rest assured You'll be the only one, only one to light up my world Good morning love, now is the time To get ready for the next day of the rest of your life Good morning love, throughout your long, soft sleep You will still be right next to me Good morning love

Goodbye light, say goodnight to all that you love Feel the dark black fright flowing through you Goodbye light, you were a sight for the sorest of eyes And I think I might wish I never knew you I gave you a chance, you swept it away I gave you another change, you swept it away again I'm trying to resist the urge To give you a third chance, 'cause maybe it will Finally work out, but now it's too hard to tell Let my heart binge and purge Goodbye sun, you reminded me a lot of myself Like sometimes how I'd explode into a big burning ball of flames Goodbye sun, I'll remember you until I go down to Hell Where the temperature's really not that different And the people aren't as evil as they are up here The look in your eyes, so big and so bright The curve of your smile still curves so right I'm trying not to screw this up for good 'Cause we both know no matter what goes On between us, we can't ever be alone And it's hard not to think about what I'd do if we could So give me a shock, like ten thousand volts Straight to the heart and hope that I'll learn to cope As my head spins and my tongue bends So used to feeling bad I never wanna feel good again So goodbye light, and goodbye sun Goodbye everything and everyone I'll go out with this emptiness Left on my lips from all the ones that I never got to kiss

There's a girl, standing on stage Singing Bowie to the cats in the bar There's a big time record executive Telling her that she's gonna go far Now she doesn't quite know what to do yet Because she's only just turned twenty-four But she's been waiting to get out her desk job And try to find something a little bit more She knows that the brutalization of the Industry's gonna kill her inside But she can't spend another night Drunkenly semi-singing 'Rock & Roll Suicide' Until she becomes one of her own Well she signs her pretty new contract Guaranteeing fortune and fame And she meets the hot young producer And five years from now no one will know his name 'Cause he'll crash and he'll burn just like all of the others And she's gonna come down with him 'Cause she is just his little android obeying To every promise with a grin And by the time that she turns twenty-five She's got four big number one hits She's selling out concerts in giant arenas Where 10,000 screaming fans sit Give her two more years and then she'll be gone She's recording her follow-up effort Getting guest spots from all the big stars And the day before the release date She was found dead in her car She went to her big release party And did a few lines of cocaine Then she did a few more and fell down on the floor Started twitching like she was insane Said some incomprehensible words as her friends Tried to hold her and pick her back up And they threw her in the backseat of her BMW To join the 27 club I can't wait wait to meet her, just ten years to go

Baby let's go repent tonight Then maybe everything will be all right Cause lately i can't go to sleep at night And frankly some days I miss the light Lover lets start a revolution Another way to make us more abusive Take cover, hide behind the sacred music Our mothers will be quite sore if we lose it Baby, lets die for each other's sins Cause we've been way too innocent to live The feelings gonna punch my heart right in But I'll pull it out for you if you want it Lover, I'd hate to see you crying So if you think you'll do it ill be the first to try it If it bothers you ill be sure to keep it silent Cause I know how you hate to hear me whining Baby, leave me alone tonight Cause if you're here it doesn't seem quite right Although you know how much I loved our fights Even much more than I used to love your type Lover, this is our final discourse Of our feelings that we love to distort But I am just way too excited for The moment when you finally walk out my door And I start to forget.

Chasing Amy 05:37
I've got these sharp pains in my stomach They're not from you I swear I've been looking for someone like you Wish I could run my fingers through your light brown hair I am so in love with you, I can't contain myself I know you'll never hear this song but it's something that I must get out If I could just tell you I loved you everything would be okay But I get so caught up in the thoughts that I try to keep away from my mouth I've got these black circles around my eyes Stay up nightly thinking about you "The way the world is, how seldom it is that you meet that one Person who… just gets you. It's so rare." Rare it is, You're the rarest girl I've ever come to know Your eyes are like crystals reflecting the sun There must be something to be said about the fact that I still feel this way After almost two and a half years of knowing that you are the one And if I tell you everything, and we get in a huge fight And then we never talk again, until another year from then We run into each other by some fate-inflicted incident You tear up after small talk knowing that you'll still be more than a friend to me I fucking love you, that's what it comes down to

Why go dancing When you can sit and write songs about not going dancing? Why go steady when you can go stag? Why see movies When you can sit and write songs about not seeing movies? Why be happy when you can be sad? Why spend time with a lover When you can spend time by yourself? Why only rely on each other When you can rely on somebody else? Why buy her flowers When everyone else is buying her flowers? Why try to keep her when she will stray? Why buy her chocolates When everyone else is buying her chocolates? Why be committed when she won't stay? Why spend money and time On someone who'll only dismember your mind? Why go messing around With girls and clichés that'll just you bring you down? Why go dancing? Why play her music When she doesn't care about any of your music? Why write her poems that she won't read? Why draw her pictures When she doesn't care about any of your pictures? Why give her things that she doesn't need? Why go dancing?

Once I woke up, the sun was in my eyes And you were right next to me Then I woke up again a few hours later And I seemed to find that that was only a dream One night I sat, staring out the window Waiting for you to come But then I realized and remembered That you would never show up So I must create you, bring my vision to life Just because you don't exist yet doesn't mean you're not a sight To be seen, and whether our future is tragedy or comedy I'd still love you for all your quirks and flawing qualities Cause who needs perfection? Yeah, who needs perfection? I spent many a days planning you out Making sure that my blueprints were right Then I stopped myself, mid-measurement and took some time and thought a bit About the repercussions that might Come about so easily and cannot be prevented And if I would end up regretting what I had invented But I breathed and said "Screw It" and put the ruler to the page Then scanned it in and then waited for my mind to be represented In physical form, and then shined a light You appeared, and you existed right in front of my eyes And I danced with you and I sang to you and you cooked us a meal I always knew that someday you'd end up being real You stepped out of the kitchen, for just a quick minute Then the pot started to boil over To tried to turn the oven off, but in the process of You slipped on the floor and hit your head on the toaster And fell to the ground Well I guess I won't be seeing you around Ah, well who needs more people? Yeah, who needs more people?

Love my problems away Make the sky not seem so gray When you hold me I lose my stress And when you kiss me I feel the best Love my problems away Clear my mind with the words you say Make my work load disappear By simply just being here with me A love like our's is bound to make me see Past all the things I don't care about and you Make me feel so alive when I am blue You can do so much with your love So love my problems away Heal my wandering mind Keep me on track and on time Steal my averted gaze And keep it till the end of days Love my problems away 'Cause you make everything okay When I'm beat and when I'm down You always come around to make me smile A love like our's is bound to last for a while So let's make the best of now and just diverge From what we have to do and let's converge You can do so much with your love So love my problems away Love my problems away Make the sky not seem so gray When you hold me I lose my stress And when you kiss me I feel the best Love my problems away 'Cause nothing can motivate Me to do what I must Except for you, you're the only one I trust A love like our's is bound to shine through dust I love when you're around 'cause I feel free An overwhelming sense of aeipathy You can do so much with your love So love my problems away

I read all of your signals wrong Or maybe there were no signals at all I could've sworn you smiled at me I just got wrapped up in what I thought I could see You found me, made me tell you secrets Now I wish I could take back all that I said If I came on too strong, you should've let me know Instead of causing my useless efforts to grow I don't hate you 'cause you're beautiful I hate you for the way you used it making me so Hopeful that I had a fighting chance But you stripped that away from me like all the rest I don't think you have a boyfriend I think you think I'm too obsessed With you but that's not exactly true You just made it easy to attached to you I don't hate you 'cause you're beautiful I hate you for the way you used it making me so Hopeful that I had a fighting chance But you stripped that away from me like all the rest I don't hate you 'cause you're beautiful I hate you for the way you used it making me so Hopeful that I had a fighting chance But you stripped that away from me like all the rest I don't hate you 'cause you fucked up my brain dial I hate you for the way you managed to make me smile With all your codes and your deceit Next time just be up front that's all I want you people to be

The ocean's thick upon my bones Disintegrating as I'm floating here alone The ocean's thick upon my skull There's endless water in my ears that will not go The ocean's thick around my neck I lost my grip, I couldn't hold on to the deck The ocean's thick, I won't survive There's not a chance in Hell I'll make out alive The ocean's thick upon my heart I'm drowning slowly never going to restart The ocean's thick upon my soul An open stage and I am in the dying role The ocean's thick deeper I drop Look towards the surface, see you laughing at the top The ocean's thick, I won't survive There's not a chance in Hell I'll make it out alive The ocean's thick, my body's numb The feeling in my fingers removed one by one The ocean's thick, my lungs collapsed I haven't ever felt so lifeless in the past The ocean's thick and I would know Still cursing you at 20,000 feet below The ocean's thick, I won't survive There's not a chance in Hell I'll make it out alive

Hal Melvin 10:25
Standing outside the theatre in the blistering cold It's just me and another guy roughly fifty years old He's telling me all these stories and dropping facts about Mr. E Well after an hour of conversation he finally introduces himself to me He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin" puts out his hand "Man, I'm really excited to see the band" He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin, how do you do? Is the c-c-c-c-cold getting to you?" He's setting up deals with me, telling me where to go He's moving his arms around like a madman throughout the whole show He whispers in my ear telling me the name of every song I'm just enjoying myself, just playing along He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin" puts out his hand "Man, I'm really excited to see the band" He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin, how do you do? Is the c-c-c-c-cold getting to you?" He's telling me to stay after, says there'll be a third encore Well, whether there was or was not, I couldn't stand with him anymore He's just a little too eccentric, he's well-mannered but he's a little insane Taking everything so seriously, oh it's oh so strange He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin" puts out his hand "Man, I'm really excited to see the band" He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin, how do you do? Is the c-c-c-c-cold getting to you?" I say, "Mr. Hal Melvin, it's really been fun But I gotta get home 'cause I got work in the morn'" I say, "Mr. Hal Melvin, it's really been fun But I gotta get home 'cause I got work in the morn'"
