SCHOOL GIRL
I was there when you were drawing on your eyebrows.
And I was watching when you were painting on your smile.
I said, "Wouldn't you like your life to be like a little lighter than night? And a little to the left of center?"
She said, "Leave me alone. I prefer the night and the right, and I'll see you in September."
I was there when you were kneeling in your nylons.
And I'll be watching as you hobble in your heels.
I said, "Wouldn't you like your life to be like a little sweeter than meat? Like the little girl I remember?"
She said, "Leave me alone. And couldn't you try to be less of a lie? I'll see you in September..."

SLIPSHOD SUGARY FEMALE
This is a song for Rhettsie, although I'm not really sure who she is. I like the ring in the sound of her name. I know she's somebody's kid. This is a song for Audrey, you know I wrote it the day she was born. I skinny dipped with her mom once, but those days are gone. This is a song for Lilly, you know I know she'd agree, with all the boys in her life right now, it aint easy at three...
SALAD
BOY
The wind has now veered to the west, love the world or leave it alone. If all that you feel is what you feel for yourself, then you're on your own. In a million lies, you'd think that maybe two or three aren't true. What you don't realize is all those people are just like you. Twenty five seconds...
Your eyes have now turned to the west looking down at a solemn little face. Only he can recall the memory of a boy who couldn't hide from a race. In the blink of an eye, all the world blew up and all hell rained down. How in the hell can you look at that boy and frown?
Twenty five seconds is what it takes. Twenty five seconds until I shake. Twenty five seconds coming down. Twenty five seconds on the ground.
BORE
For all the songs never written and all the love ignored. Finding the me as I swing through the trees is finally becoming a bore. I don't know why it's always it's right or it's wrong, I'm usually not so black and white. But I cut through the gray as I write you today and hopefully come out alright.
Do you remember a time when we were not quite as old, without a care in the world? We'd reach for the sky and believe what we're told and vie for the love of a girl. But now we're much older and it's all gone to hell, I can see by the look in your eyes, you're not well. And all of the songs that I wrote way back then have slipped through the cracks and I've nothing to send...
FLUX
And if you wanted to do something that's right for me and if you wanted to avoid a catastrophe, you could have told me about the little love thing that you had. And if you wanted me to grow like a vine with you, you might have told me that he's so intertwined with you. You could have told me about the little love thing that you had with him.
Oh, let's go out tonight. A little wine, a little time will make everything alright. And if you suddenly find that I'm not around, you can go fuck yourself or go out on the town with him...
LOVE STORY
I love you. You lie down to go to sleep. Do you see me? I fly down, alight on your heart. Do you feel me? Don't know what color your skies are. If you're blue are they gray? Me and you and your eyes so blue, make the morning last all day. Cuz I love you (I love you too). Cuz I love you (I love you do).
I often wonder what you do to me. You make me feel light, yeah.
No one fits you like a glove. You and me and Jack and Finnie, we're a fit for love.
I love you...
WHEN IT RAINS
We're shining up our shoes, not buying new ones. Turning off the news, not trying to bank none. I wonder why do I always feel inclined to take the price tag off my wine, when the question still remains: where we gonna go when it rains?
Turning on our light and now we're hoping we won't get hit tonight, can't leave us open. I asked her "why does it always seem to be that things and things are dear to me, when the question still remains: where we gonna go when it rains?"
We go on and on.
And if you're looking for your shoes, they're in the boot tray. If you're looking for your coat, it's on the hook. Ask me about the sky, you can see it in my eye, take a look.
Turning on our light, won't get hit tonight, we're shining up our shoes, turning off the news, turning off the rain...

CLEVELAND
Good morning, good morning, good morning, my love.
Good morning, good morning, good morning, my love.
The lillies, the ocean, the blue of skies above. The stone walls, the sailboats, the sailboats in the tub.
Good morning, good morning, good morning, my love.
APOLOGY TO FINN
I didn't mean to hurry along, didn't mean to wish you away to sleep. When you're living your life on the fly, like me, you never seem to see the green of your own grass, or your baby's eyes.
I didn't know that would wake you up. Alright, I did, but I'd like to be with you. If I had to decide to seek or to hide, I'd rather be hiding with you in the tall grass of an endless summer night.
JACKIE SONG
Jackie's going outside today, outside in the pouring rain and he's got his glow and the clouds give way. The sun beams and still I have to say, "I know where you've been going and I don't want to know. I know where you've been going. Don't you ever want to stop to say hello?"
Second verse, same as the first -I always wanted to say that. But Jackie's on the go and we've been feeling a little bit low and I'm looking around and around and I don't want to play that, so I said, "I know where you've been going and I don't want to know. I know where you've been going. Don't you ever want to stop to say hello?"
I can't find a friend in the world tonight. But still, I have to love the good fight. And whenever I'm fighting or feeling low, I've got Jackie boy to say hello.
And when I feel the rain, I feel so alone. I tell Jackie that it's time to come home and I know that it's coming, and I'll see the day when Jackie's not around and I'll be wanting to say "I know where you've been going and I don't want to know. I know where you've been going. Don't you ever want to stop to say hello?"
ACRES OF MAYONNAISE
I can’t wait to see you, it’s only a matter of time. And when I finally see you, that pussy’s mine.
I want to know you, girl.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with this wild and precious life?
And now that I see you, damn you’re fine. I wanna get inside.
I want to know you, girl.
There’s only so much time, what else should I have done?
I want to know you, girl.
