Won't You?
I can remember, I can remember all those times you thought you could change me, change me
But looking back, I don't give a damn about that now, just wanna move forward
I try to remain, I try to be patient, I lowered my weapon down
Won't you, can't you, don't you wanna feel the way I do about you?
Won't you try to, can't you ever feel the way I do about you?
I think of the days when I was surrounded by those fools who thought they could save me, save me
You can't box me, I'm not a box of cherries
Outfox me? You'll spend your whole life trying
I can't be bought, that's what I thought
(But I thought wrong)
Won't you, can't you, don't you wanna feel the way I do about you?
Won't you try to, can't you ever feel the way I do about you?
Another storm rips the shingles off the houses, and the windows are all pushed in, and this time it reminds me of us.

Recipe For Nothing
Ok, wave your wand my way, wave your flag 'til the end, it's nothing
Ok, take your walk in the rain, put your cash in the riverbank, it's nothing...
Without the stars in the sky,
Without your side on my side
Ok, pitch your tent by the lake, take as long as you wanna take, it's nothing
Alright, run your nails down my neck, it seems like sailing the treetops, but it's nothing...
Without the stars in the sky,
Without your side on my side
Ok, pin your hopes on a sugar cube, let it go like a hand grenade, it's nothing
Ok, scratch your name on a pearl, leave your flag unfurled, it's nothing...
Without the stars in the sky,
Without your side by my side

Undone (Intro)
Didn’t mean to do it, didn’t mean to do it, but I lost control
Didn’t mean to do it, didn’t mean to do it, but I made you smile
It’s all we needed

Girasole
Oh–are you embarrassed?
You’re dangling carrots, you’re dangling carrots in my face, what a disgrace
I’m still a boy and I’m not concerned with these things just yet
Girasole, you know I like it like that
(Oh Girasole!) There’s a reason I’m saying, 'hallucinations don’t phase me'
I’ve seen our world turn sour, but it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault
(Oh Girasole!) Why are you always complaining?
I think it’s ‘cause you’re lazy and you can quote me on that
but it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault
Oh–won’t you listen to reason?
And quit your appeasing, quit your believing in these things that just aren’t real
Like walkin’ on water–I don’t think you oughta if you could, it cannot be good
Girasole, my goals are larger than that
(Oh Girasole!) Now that your vision is fading, the situation is plainly taking a new shape
but it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault
(Oh Girasole!) And your position keeps changing
your inclination is blaming me for what you’ve done
but it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault
Your parasol is wearing thin, your parasol is wearing thin.
Your parasol is wearing thin! Ahhhh!
Girasole, my skull is pounding so bad
(Oh Girasole!) There’s a reason I’m saying, 'hallucinations don’t phase me'
I’ve seen our world turn sour, but it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault
(Oh Girasole!) Why are you always complaining?
I think it’s ‘cause you’re lazy and you can quote me on that
but it’s not my fault!
Oh Girasole! Oh Girasole! Oh Girasole!

Freaky Fat Tuesday
I stopped believing in monsters about the time I was one or two
They got those giant incisors that they like to sink down into you
You indicate with your actions, you complicated my words
You’re like some wretched insider, got no problem giving it up, giving it up, giving it
Don’t trust desire, that’s not to do
Don’t touch the tiger, your life will flash in front of you
You laminate your opinions, consolidate as you go
You’re like some freaky Fat Tuesday
always sucking it down, sucking it down, sucking it
Don’t trust desire, that’s not to do
Don’t stoke the fire, society’s got something new
I threw all caution to the wind
I threw a rock at the snow
I look straight up when it’s raining
Talk about letting it go, letting it go, letting it
Don’t trust desire, that’s not to do
Don’t work for hire, the money’s never coming through

Pi in the Sky
I look in the trees and I see threes
I look in the sky and I see pi
I’m watching some birds but I see thirds
Then I get high on some fives
Pi in the sky, it’s no mystery
Numbers make up our world and its history
The professor knows it more than I
He knows of the six and three and nine
The brain is two whole equal sides
The donut’s just a Taurus for your eyes
Pi in the sky, it’s no mystery
Numbers make up our world and its history
So when you drink you're drinking three
Three molecules go into thee
And when you look you see in two
I look the look but you look through
Pi in the sky, it’s no mystery
Numbers make up our world and its history

Blue Walrus
I’ve got a friend who’s a blue walrus
He comes and he goes, but he never stays too long
I make amends for the blue walrus
Hoping that he’d be so much happier that way
Honestly, could you be less awake?
Did you think it was Sunday morning?
I read the news just the same as you
But it’s not what I would choose
Honestly, could you be less awake?
Did you think that I was joking?
I’m telling you, take a walk in my shoes and you’ll be lonely too
I throw my hand to the blue water
And swirl it around just to see what comes up
I’ll leave the land for the blue water
And do what I can to find happiness somewhere
And do what I can to find happiness somewhere
And do what I can to find happiness somewhere

Toe in the Grave
You’re gonna get yourself in a trap, you’re gonna get yourself in a pile of crap
Believe me, it's not my opinion, I consider it a fact
I shoulda listened, shoulda, shoulda let you finish off a sentence
If I didn't, well I didn't, but I didn't mean it
If you wanna go, if you wanna know, if you're gonna go, I’m keeping the TV
Got another toe in the grave
Got another toe in the grave
Dressed up like a media slave
Got another toe in the...
Always shooting straight from the hip
That's how I got muddled in this mystery trip
Oh no, my intuition is letting me down
Something’s gotta give, so consider this, if you wanna live, you got to give, tell it to your
analyst
Beta Beta Charlie Alpha Tom, hey, how did I go wrong singing my song?
Got another toe in the grave
Got another toe in the grave
Now I got a foot in the grave
Got another toe in the…
Video in, audio out
Were you betrayed by the tongue in your mouth?
Guilty as sin, no sign of doubt
It's a reprieve that I’m breathing for now
Finally slammed my head in the door
I felt it falling off and as it rolled across the floor I was thinking just how quickly life had
passed me by
Wish it weren’t true, wish it weren’t you making me feel blue
But what to do, what to do?
I’m telling you, surely you can’t ignore me when I give you the slip
Got another toe in the grave
Got another toe in the grave
Got another toe in the grave
Got another toe in the grave
Got another toe in the grave
Got another toe in the grave
Got another toe in the grave
Got another, got another toe in the grave

Mistakes
I left the light on, but something tells me you won’t be home
I left the light on, but something tells me you won’t be home
Why must I pay for mistakes that I made back then?
Why must I pay for mistakes that I made back then, way back when
I sat by the phone, but something tells me you won’t be calling
I left the light on, but something tells me you won’t be home
Why must I pay for mistakes that I made back then?
Why must I pay for mistakes that I made back then, way back when
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
I waited hours, I waited hours for you to show
I left the light on, but something tells me you won’t be home
Why must I pay for mistakes that I made back then?
Why must I pay for mistakes that I made back then, way back
Why must I pay for mistakes that I made back then?
Why must I pay for mistakes that I made back then, way back when

Permanently Temporary
It’s a fact if you believe it, so what though?
That I’d fall down to my knees if I told you I divulged you
So I walked down that way and the rain was like arrows, or like sparrows
It’s difficult to say
But that was my delay
I’m permanently living in a temporary place
I’m sitting at the table on the edge of outer space
I wash my face, I want your face
I love you and I wanted to say
Have a nice day, have a nice day
I love you and I wanted to say
Have a nice day, have a nice day
Solitude is fine if you want it, let’s be honest
But if you change your mind, my cell phone is still working
My feet are cement and I can’t move for trying, or flying
I’m chemically spent
That was my lament
I’m permanently living in a temporary place
I’m positively useless and I've lost my sense of taste
I watch your face, I want your face
I love you and I wanted to say
Have a nice day, have a nice day
I love you and I wanted to say
Have a nice day, have a nice day
(Have a nice day, have a, have a nice day)
Have a nice day, have a nice day
(Have a nice day, have a, have a nice day)
Have a nice day, have a nice day

Before This Song
I’ve been around for way too long in this one place baby
and I’m feeling down about this song and its forced perspective
Been way too hard for way to long, I tried so hard baby
I think it's time to say so long
We tried but our love died before this song, before this song
I know you’ll be fine before I'm done, before I'm done
When we first met I would've bet that you were the one girl
It seemed to me you were the one, a fun in the sun girl
I can’t deny we had our time, we were in our prime girl
But I can’t find a rhyme for what you’ve done
We tried but our love died before this song, before this song
I know you’ll be fine when I'm long gone, when I'm long gone
It’s not my fault, it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault!

You Cut Me Down
You couldn’t say what you need and signs I couldn’t read
If ever a day that you need what you never gave to me
Then you’ll see just how the little things are stinging me, stinging me
And I want you to know where it hurts ‘cause it’s you who cut me down
Just like the leaves turn to gold as the air is growing cold
Just like a nail turned to rust, no amount of trust enough
Oh, the memories, stinging me, stinging me
And I want you to see where it hurts ‘cause it’s you who cut me down
Oh, you better wear your gloves today because I might come out swinging
I mean it
When I sing it, I mean it
It’s stinging me, stinging me
And I want you to feel where it hurts ‘cause it’s you who cut me down

Loneliness Passing Through
Help me, I’m crazy for thinking of you
Help me, I’m crazy for thinking of asking you
Tell me those things that I never knew
Only, only if lonely’s just passing through
I sent away for a new heart that day
It never came
Normally I like the rain, but not today
Help me, I’m crazy for thinking of you
Help me, I’m crazy for thinking of asking you
Tell me those things that I never knew
Only, only if lonely’s just passing through
Days melt away
Eventually eternity
Wounds that I sustained finally start to fade
But not today
Help me, I’m crazy for thinking of you
Help me, I’m crazy for thinking of asking you
Tell me those things that I never knew
Only, only if lonely’s just passing through

Strangers With the Same Dream
Orange is the color of now
Whatever you think
Yellow is the color you see
Whatever you think
Realize that you and me are just strangers with the same dream
Same dream, same dream
I’m always out of sight, out of mind
Whatever I think
Realize that you and me are just strangers with the same dream
Same dream, same dream…

Undone
Didn’t mean to do it, didn’t mean to do it, but I lost control
Didn’t mean to do it, didn’t mean to do it, but I saw you smile
It’s all we needed
Like sifting stones, soft holding hands
The way we feel when we are drying in the sun and talking
Singing songs and laughing all day long
