I don't care about the artists
I don't care about the tourists
but I've got plenty of love on my mind
You can keep the flock of seagulls
Let the crickets die on their own time
I'm making room for friends with money
I've made my mind up don't try changing that, honey
But I've got plenty of love on my mind
If you let a river run
It'll drown you just for fun in no time
I saw someone burning down a church
The flame was green, the heat it didn't hurt
Man, I guess he had plenty of love on his mind
When you're using faith for fuel
You're filling up the tank on someone else's dime
My mom was always sure I'd be a preacher
I always told her I would never leave
Her voice was just as steady as her hands
But if the choice is heaven over fame
I'll be damned I took the flames every time
I've got salt inside my veins
The doctors tell me I don't have much time
We built a city on a pin
Never let a heathen win, not one time

Shame

I'm doing fine
Wore nothing but a robe for 3 weeks, it's called living easy
I'm doing fine
Nobody's seen me on the street 'cause I'm nice and busy
Have you lost your mind?
I'm hearing voices in the walls, they're getting louder
I'm doing fine
What a goddamn shame
We turned out to be
It's a goddamn shame
I'm doing fine
But if I seem a little off give it to me a little louder
I'm doing fine
I've got a lot to clean that's why I'm sitting in the shower
What did you hope to find?
You didn't see it in me, you'll probably check again later
I'm doing fine
Hope you're doing fine
What a goddamn shame
We turned out to be
It's a goddamn shame

Worms

Pulling myself from the soil
Night of the living dead
I see plants where nothing used to be
Stalking yards
Can't get you out of my head
How expensive the rent used to be
Kind of funny
Feeling like skin and bones
Seeing strangers in the mirror at home
Green with envy
Of another me, who's still pretending
The house of cards he's building
Six feet from the floor
He's blocked his way out the door
I'm pulling
I feel like a worm
Lying out in the sun
Falling out of favor
Forgetting the flavor the moment it's gone
It's like a slap in the face
When your falling asleep
I'm saying I hate it
So what if I'm jaded, I said what I mean

Problem With The Water
03:16
|

I read the news, I like to stay informed
I'm a pretty stand-up guy
Have you seen the latest polls?
Everybody's saying we could use a brand new coast
Have some coffee, it'll all be fine
It's just the end of the first world
They're selling postcards of the drink
The water looks warm, what do you think?
Illinois, Missouri
What do you mean?
Ohio, Minnesota
Got a beautiful spring
Come on!
Just watch the oceans move
Get a summer home you can crawl back to
I don't see the problem
But if you wanna tell me there's a problem, don't bother
The summers are warmer
My yards on the beach
Shame about the New Yorkers but it didn't hurt me
I don't see the problem with the water
Sure I'll miss some of my favorite spots
These days LA just don't feel the same
The crowds are rowing down the interstate
I guess the food there was pretty great
I'm sitting pretty in a mountain home
Inherited 400 miles away
You know, those kids have my thoughts and prayers
I'm glad that sort of thing will never happen here
Wyoming, Colorado
Just answered the call
Rocky Mountain High
To get away from it all
Come on!
You'd do the same thing too
Watch the poor people drown from your indoor pool
I don't see the problem
But if you wanna tell me there's a problem, don't bother
The summers are warmer
My yards on the beach
Shame about California but it didn't hurt me
I don't see the problem with the water

Apocalypse WOW!

I need boys
You need a little muscle for repo
Yeah, I need boys
Who's had their 15 minutes of fame?
I wanna have fun
I hear it's open invitation
It's all guns and leather
The longer the better
and everybody's screaming
Someone shouted the name
I saw a woman cut her baby in 3
I saw bathhouse slippers on King David's feet
You wouldn't hear about it if you turned on the news
Couldn't tell you if they wanted to
I need a phone ((can I borrow your phone?))
I need a plug
Who wants to show me the game?
Open your mouth
Someone give me an observation
I don't care
It doesn't matter
You're climbing the ladder
And everybody's screaming
Just feeding the flame
I saw a woman cut her baby in 3
I saw bathhouse slippers on King David's feet
You wouldn't hear about it if you turned on the news
Couldn't tell you if they wanted to
All of those angels don't frighten me
I bought tickets to the hanging in the nosebleed seats
Motherfuckers, bloodsuckers
They're gassing the streets
Couldn't hide it if they wanted to

Never Sleep Again
04:12
|
|||
|
Caught in a snowstorm
All of this water's weighing down my head
Take all my clothes off
The cold can pull you deeper into it
I remember the simple things
To think of all the warmth I had
In your arms
I'll never sleep again
When grass grows greener
Hard to remember anything you've said
The water's deeper
Than it looks so maybe don't jump in
It's hard when you're stuck in it
To see just what it is you have
With clear eyes
I'll never sleep again

Neighborhood
03:26

The neighbor's got a few kids
They're always playing outside
You can't count down the days
Only so much you can hide
Coming in from the cold, I've gotta tell you
Finally got a look at the neighborhood
Everybody's growing older before my eyes
Finally feeling bolder in a bad way
Brother, what have you been told about the Kennedy's
Everyone's growing older, I guess that's fine
They're all just mallrats and queens
Already made up their minds
They're not counting the days
They've got nothing to hide
Coming in from the cold, I've gotta tell you
Finally got a look at the neighborhood
Everybody's growing older before my eyes
Finally feeling bolder in a bad way
Brother, what have you been told about the Kennedy's
Everyone's growing older, I guess that's fine

God damn it, I survived the night
Was hoping it would finally get back to me this time
In the earliest beat of the morning I pretend not to see
Any of the man, the man I'm afraid I am becoming
Well I've never been much for staying afloat
And I'm no good at speaking softly
I don't think this is fun but I
Don't wanna be the one
The one that breaks your heart when I don't get up again in the morning
I'm trying so hard, don't let this be misunderstood
Come on now Lord, I'm on my knees
I was hoping it would all get back to me
Caught between the cliffs and the raging seas
God, let it come, let it come back to me
Do you understand?
Did you hear me cry til my voice went out
Do you understand?
The tears in my eyes and my head in my hands
You don't understand
I don't wanna go I just don't wanna stay
I don't wanna go I just don't wanna stay
Come on now Lord, I'm on my knees
I was hoping it would all get back to me
Caught between the cliffs and the raging seas
God, let it come, let it come back to me
God damn it, I survived the night
Was hoping it would finally get back to me this time

Beehive State
04:00

The bees made honey in a lion's mouth
Built their combs all through its teeth
They took the skull and they carved it out
Built a five star suite fit for a queen
Out of the eater, something to eat
Out of the strong, give me something sweet
I don't care for the noise
I'm keeping my hands clean
Did they like what they saw?
Do you feel like you're blessed?
You've got long arms and long claws
And it's left you depressed, scared to death, and obsessed with the world
With the rattle and hum of the things that you've heard
Isn't it fun to just ignore the price of violence paid?
Pick the meat from your teeth, man
Don't you have a family to feed?
If you can break them apart when your life falls down
Then you don't have to start or break new ground
Better waiting for scraps than getting shut out
Better waiting for scraps than getting shut out
Out of the eater, something to eat
Out of the strong, give me something sweet
I don't care for the noise
I'm keeping my hands clean
Did they like what they saw?
Do you feel like you're blessed?
You've got long arms and long claws
And it's left you depressed, scared to death, and obsessed with the world
With the rattle and hum of the things that you've heard

Father's Day
04:16
|

Thinking about your own father, is it keeping you awake?
Didn't do enough damage even lying in a grave?
What a way to go
You never taught me subtlety
So forgive my tone of voice
You taught me how to cut with a word
Look where that got me, boy oh boy
Wouldn't you be proud
Sorry for expecting you to protect me
What an example, dropping the ball when someone needs you the most
Wouldn't be surprised to learn after all that you still resent me
But I try and I try and I try and I try and I try and I try and I try
It doesn't matter how much you love someone if all you ever do is hurt them
It doesn't matter how much you love someone if you don't know how to show them
