Lyrics

1. HOME

I've got a little red bow
And I bought it for you
'Cause I know you're not fair
I don't get it, oh well
And you color my skin
And the colors don't blend
'Cause I'm gonna get you
And your little dog too
There's a yellow brick road
That we follow back home
'Cause I know you can't wait
Your belligerent hate
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
Like home
I've, got a southern belle too
And ruby red shoes
And a body of straw
Are you sick of it all?
There's a man made of tin
With an oil can grin
And I'm gonna get you
And your little dog too
There's a yellow brick road
That we follow back home
And I know you can't wait
Your belligerent hate
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's a little white porch
And you wanted it so
And you let me go down
To the end of the road
And the black and the white
A technicolorful life
Can I stand by your side?
We can make it alright
Like home
'Cause I'm home
There's a little white porch
And you wanted it so
And you let me go down
To the end of the road
And the black and the white
A technicolorful life
Then another arrived
It's a cowardly lion
What I want from this world
What I wanna resolve
When I want you to stay
So I want you to wait
I don't wanna be bold
I don't wanna be cold
I don't wanna grow old
I don't wanna go home


2. MEDICATE

I got somethin' up my sleeve
I know you will cover me
Inside out and in between
I know you will cover me
I've got bruises on my knees
I know you will cover me
Inside out and in between
And I know you will cover me

[Chorus:]
Run away
Make hate
And get laid
We get laid
You tie me up
I've had enough
So medicate
Medicate

I'm already incomplete
I know you will cover me
Broken by your empathy
I know you will cover me
I've been lyin' here for weeks
I know you will cover me
Inside out and in between
And I know you will cover me

[Chorus x 3]


3. POLYAMOROUS

The day has come to an end
The sun is over my head
My polyamorous friend
Got me in a mass of trouble again
So
Just when you think that you're all right
I'm crawlin out from the inside
I never heard anyone
I never listen at all

They've come to get me again
The cloud is over my head
My polyamorous friend
Got me in a mass of trouble again
So
Just when you think that you're all right
I'm crawlin out from the inside
I never heard anyone
I never listen at all
Just stay away from the white light
I'd say your worst side's your best side
I never heard anyone
I never listen at all-

Well how do you know?
Well how do you know?
Well how do you know?
Well how do you know?

Just when you think that you're all right
I'm crawlin out from the inside
I never heard anyone
I never listen at all
Just stay away from the white light
I'd say your worst side's your best side
I never heard anyone
I never listen at all
Let's go


4. WATER

What's all this talk of a notion?
I'd rather drink from the ocean
What did you mean when you said no?
I only want what is best for you
But I won't ever let you drown
No I won't ever let you down
[chorus]
Cause I am my enemy
The water's up to the knee
I never wanted nothin' from you
Yes I do, yes I do
My engine's runnin' on dry
My head's so fucked up inside
Shut up
I know
I said so
There is no way to recover
You told me there is no other
The surface is getting hotter
I'll shove your head under water
But I won't ever let you drown
No I won't ever let you down
[chorus x 3]


5. SHALLOW BAY

Come on
The sun will rise
Another time
The colors blind
Your virgin eyes
I'm so inclined
To make you mine
You're out of line
And out of time
[chorus]
And I float upon a shallow bay
Lift me up until the ground gives way
I'm a California castaway
I don't think you wanna fuck with me
Don't over kill
This painless thrill
It's bitter still
Your pretty pill
You wait until
You've had your fill
I know you will
I know you will
[chorus]
A shallow bay
A shallow bay
[chorus x 2]
You live, you learn
You live, you learn
You live, you learn
You live
