1. BURY WHITE

To resurrect ourselves, we disembowel our saints
We never underestimate the
Destructive power of change
We find another way
We dream up stupid shit to while away our days
There's time for everything
We're always searching for what's wrong
We dance around the wire
A bunch of piranhas
We dress ourselves in words
Armed and overheard
We're always searching for what's wrong
No! Never! It's all gone now!
No! Never!
It's all wrong in my heart
(soothe me, lover -- left me nowhere)


2. REALLY HERE

I noticed it when I walked out
My small white world
was closing down
I wondered, I would always wonder
Why I am always sober
And everyone is loaded
And it gets old
Well i bow out now
I refuse
So what if I waver, I fall
I'll always
I will always notice
Speak up when I'm called on
Everyone gets older
Oh well
I'm not really here


3. WATER & SOLUTIONS

When rumors of aliens were true
When I found out one of them was you
Bought fortunes from carnival seers, saw them through
Soon, a light on
Stand up, turn and face me

Believe what you believe
Don't just stand their suffering
Talking about your freedom
Soon, a light on
Soon my doubles will pull off all of my stunts

Water and solutions
Fires left ablaze, pleasure in the problems
If I could give them all away, what's left for me?
Define God is all I want
To treat my love as me


4. MOTHER MARY

Like elvis, like everyone
We all die, we all live on in photos
And paperblacks, if we're lucky
We're coming back
Mother Mary over, over
Mother Mary over
Over me
We notice
We understand
We throw out all we can
We're on the market, we're up on racks
If we're really lucky we're coming back
I would never decide
Mother Mary over, over
Mother Mary over
Over me


5. I LIKE IT

I heard about your last words and I can't say I'm sorry
I wish you could have seen my face
For the fist time in a long time I was really happy
For the first of May
For the last days of autumn
For the summer in between
For the few weeks when you said I should feel lucky
I'm lucky, yea
For the frostbite
For the cold nights
For the bleeding palms and knees
For the rattle blister crash you bring
For the stringy reddened crime you tried to bury me under
For forcing it down For making me like it
I like it
I understand
So what if you were all I had


6. SYSTEM

Couldna done any better
Couldna prayed for sin to be over
Praying to nothing, praying to know,
But you will never know

I won't say it, I won't say it
I won't say what I don't know

I never had any problem
To recognize it or a marble
You're a beautiful liar
You're never inspired
You know when it's over it's over

I won't say it, I won't say it
I won't say what I don't know
I won't say it, I say nothing
I know nothing, I do nothing
Nothing

The System!


7. NESTLE

And he always wrote
And he always called
And he never lied
'cause he never said anything at all
In a world of dirt I am raining,
I'm eroding
But which one of us?
In a chorus of maybes, I realize. . .
When I started this, I was thinking of my Father
Now a holy ghost
Now see one become the other
One become me I realize. . .
Nestle, I won't ever let you go


8. IN 2 AGAIN

To another, to anyone but me
It's so obvious, so painfully
And I worry that everyone but me will be laughing at
Something I didn't see
Anyone but me
Everyone but me

Into another, in too deep
Like bees to flowers, sex to steal
And before ever
Will we be in 2 again?
(praise the boy, he's a strong one
he can train the horse
Hitch the bit, pull it tighter, 'til he cries out
Other day, boy led the horse across the creek
Broke his leg, nearly drowned him
Now they're both no good
Take 'em out to the barn out back, let the boy
Pull the trigger
Leave 'em both where you found 'em
Leave 'em both for dead
In 2 Again)


9. WEAR IT SO WELL

So what if I was your lover
A thousand time before
You and all the others
Still doesn't make me a whore
Still doesn't make me yours
You try to say it's what happened, that you were there
Well so was I
You're mine, I know this now
I'll tell you something: you wear it so well

You're up here with angels
You look like hell
I'm not going down with you now
But baby, you wear it so well


10. MAN OVERBOARD

'Open Areas' was the name of the book he never wrote. . .
We paved the roads
We really blanketed everything
We never. . .
He tried the West
He really studied the signs
He never. . .
Man overboard!


11. ANOTHER WAY OUT

She said she liked the way I felt
And breaking down my boundaries
She found her way around
Myself, I wished I'd never come home
Kicked in and sure you wanted it
You wish you'd never gone or thought of it
Another Way Out
And you find yourself alone
Crazy and alone again
You wish you weren't so afraid
You wish something would come along
To make you want to

So find me something you would never know
Wade into my water
Find me something good


12. WAITING FOR SUNDAY

I'm always frightened
I wear my helmet every day
I'm scared the sky might tumble down from heaven

I blame my neighbors
I wish that they'd all move away
They're all on welfare, kill babies, pass bad laws, start All the wars
I wait for a miracle
I go to big building, I pray
I dance with demons, they whisper my fate
Scare me into thinking I'm saved

We're all so tired
We wear our raincoats every day
To keep the wet and wind and world out
Waiting for Sunday
