1. TREE VILLAGE

What excuses do you make? Happiness is hard to find.
I didn't catch a break. Maybe I am dying inside? February,
been so lonely. It's been so long since I felt your touch,
and I couldn't care less if I deserve this.
I will never survive the sting inflicted.

Sever all ties. Follow procedure. Pledge abstinence.
Fuck at your leisure. Breathe in then out, but not out then in.
Cause over function. Restart again.

I need to see my dreams as I close my eyes.
Remembering nothing and begging for light.

All the trees, all the birds, and this thing called life.
I’d stake it all for forty acres and a trophy wife.
Dust gathers on the books that contain our past,
and we’re but peons in a circuit built by time to last.
Repeat, repeat, as we’ve done before. Our history all lost in war.
When the last of our cities are but powder and dust,
the damned who remain live with God in the glory of us.

February, been so lonely. It's been so long, since I felt you.
I could care less if I deserve this. I won't survive the sting inflicted

Repeat, repeat, as we've done before. Our history all lost in war.
Repeat, repeat, as we've done before. Our history all lost in war.
Repeat, repeat.
Repeat, repeat.
Repeat, repeat.
Repeat, repeat.

(Staring at the window panes)
(Russian roulette with some names on the phone)
When I stare at your face, are you even alive?
(Oh my god, you're so fucking intelligent)
(Don't you just love the use of Andy Warhol?)
We always knew that we were never the best advocates

And it's okay
If I'm gray today

(Holy fuck I'm impressed)
(Too bad I don't have a pussy to plunge in)
(While I sit here and stomach this)
(Here's a noble prize, lets gamble our demise)

Staring at the window paint
Russian roulette with some names on the phone
Hey you, where you from?
Never mind just leave me alone

(I drained the wells so the town has no water)
(I cut the phone lines and buried the grain)
(I drained the blood from the fortunate ones)
(It's self destruction 'cause we're all the same)

"Hurry up, trade in your gold for cash."
That's what everyone's saying
(Don't blame me for post economical backlash)
That's what everybody's doing
Sometimes I can't believe myself
(Consequence in the purest form)
(I've seen it coming from miles away)

I'm down with brown town
I'm down with brown town

(x4)
I'm down with brown town
(It's only seconds away)


3. I'M DOWN WITH BROWN TOWN

Maybe we're not the only ones
Let's just say we're the admitted
Let's make believe that we are capable of parallel galaxies
(How and why?)
There's unrest in the mind with my limbs untied

Beautiful girls with no ambition
Piling hair at the fucking salon
Happily managing all of their friends
You can't live life through your cellular phone

I told you I don't need you
Baby, I need you
Kurt, cut your loose ends, I don't need you
Baby, I need you
Man, cut your loose ends, I don't need you
Baby, I need you
Don't follow the trends
I told you I don't need you

I can't decide, I can't decide

No, it's okay, you don't need them anyway
And if I go, you can stay, everything will be the same
It was the first time, but it won't be the last
I can make you laugh, but I know it won't last
When the air is thin I know you'll be over this again

Maybe we're not the only ones
Let's just say we're the admitted
Let's make believe that we are capable of parallel galaxies
There's unrest in the mind with my limbs untied


4. CARL BARKER

There's no sense in me staying
Then why does it matter?
(It doesn't matter, it never matters)
I hope someday soon maybe we'll finish this chapter
(I can't ever finish this chapter)

And now at this moment I don't know what else to think
There's no sense in me saying, "I guess I still miss you"

(So now I need names and faces)
(Examine the suspects)
(Get the D.A here now)

(You'll tell everyone that it's so much fun)
(Say to all my friend it never ends)
(While we're driving through all the alley ways)
(We picked up some happiness on the way)

I'll tell everyone that it's so much fun
Say to all your friends it never ends
While we're driving through all the alley ways
I picked up some happiness on the way

Just because you move your hips
Doesn't mean that you exist
Just because you move your lips
Doesn't mean that you exist
Can we just take a fucking break
Cause I feel like I have got nothing left, nothing left

I guess I still miss you
Oh well, it's me and you
What else should we do?
When talking is for functioning people
I guess I still miss you
But talking is for functioning people
I guess I still miss you

You always said we'd win the lottery someday
So I wouldn't have to go away
I should have known that I had it all along
But I didn't know till you were gone

(Let's see you function now)
(Touch your nose, jump around)

(Footprints, in God we trust)
(Jes-You, Jes-Me Jesus)
(Pick up ten sac orange crush)
(Two bottles, cups, and blunts)
(What do scorned lovers do?)
(Dancing with all my crew)
(Drink and drive life away)
(Gamble with everyday)

Just because you move your hips
Doesn't mean that you exist
Just because you move your lips
Doesn't mean that you exist
Can we just take a fucking break
Cause I feel like I have got nothing left, nothing left

I guess I still miss you
Oh well, it's me and you
What else should we do?
When talking is for functioning people

I guess I still miss you
But talking is for functioning people
I guess I still miss you

You always said we'd win the lottery someday
So I wouldn't have to go away,
I should have known that I had it all along
But I didn't know till you were gone

(x2)
You always said we’d win the lottery someday
So I wouldn’t have to go away


5. HAPPINESS

Drowning in the lake
I only left her for a couple of seconds

And now she's gone

Waking up for what?
As I pace back and forth
Maybe it's time to move away
But what would that prove anyway?

Listening to the answering machine
Over and over
Only to hear your voice one more time
Just one more time

It's not your fault, that's what they all keep saying
(That's what they all keep saying)
Blaming myself, there's nothing left
Why do I bother praying?
(Why do I bother praying?)
(x2)

ohhh whoaaa ohhh..

Beg me for directions
Like I have all the answers
I neglected her life
Now what, what do I do with mine?

Listening to the answering machine
Over and over
Only to hear your voice one more time
Just one more time

It's not your fault, that's what they all keep saying
(That's what they all keep saying)
Blaming myself, there's nothing left
Why do I bother praying?
(Why do I bother praying?)
(x2)

Drowning in the lake
I only left her for a couple of seconds
(Drowning in the lake)
(I only left her for a couple of seconds)
I only left her for a couple of seconds
(Drowning, drowning)


6. SELF-TREPANATION

One day, I'll tap your mind and I'll know everything
One day, I'll tap your mind and I'll know everything
One day, I'll tap your mind and I'll know everything
One day, I'll tap your mind and I'll know everything

No one believes me
No one believes me

They're always on your side, every time
And are you right?
And are you right?
A backseat driver
You're driving me insane
I happen to know exactly where I'm going

What's your agenda?
What's your agenda?
What's your agenda?

No one believes me
No one believes me
No one believes me
No one believes me


7. STRAWBERRY SWISHER PT 1

Please, girl, stay 'til the early mornin'.
We can have some coffee.
You can do my laundry.
Please, girl, stay.
Don't mind the clutter.
Get back in bed, yeah.
Mickey mouse covers, oh girl, on your body.
Please, girl, stay.
Oh darlin'
Please, girl, stay.
Oh sugar
Please, girl, stay.
'Til the early mornin'.

And I'm not really sure what we did last night,
So let's explore each others minds.
And I know that you can find the time.
Indulge me.

Your cherry lips linger on mine.
I took the plum right from the vine.
Oh girl, I wouldn't waste your time.
Indulge me.

(Please, girl, stay..)
And I'm not really sure what we did last night,
So let's explore each others minds.
And I know that you can find the time.
Indulge me.

All along the watchtower.
They'll be singing the song forever.
All along the watchtower.
They'll be singing the song forever.

One day, you'll see what it means to breathe.
One day, you'll see what it means.

9. STRAWBERRY SWISHER PT. 2

Could you stay a little longer?
I could really use the extra time
I don’t know why I even care
Cause I’m never really there
I’m sure he must be a real nice guy
What a relief, He’ll carry you to sleep

Hey!
And I don’t know (Hey!)
What we could have done (Hey!)
And maybe this time I will learn to love again (Hey)
I will always be your friend

See this is why
We don’t talk anymore
Cause you’ll always be waiting
To settle the score
And every second could be the next meltdown
If I wasn’t leaving you wouldn’t make a sound
You wouldn’t make a sound

So this is why
We don’t talk anymore
So this is why
We don’t talk anymore

Now I don’t have to be a real nice guy
What a relief

Hey!
And I don’t know (Hey!)
What we could have done (Hey!)
And maybe this time I will learn to love again (Hey!)
I will always be your friend

Could you stay a little longer?
I could really use the extra time
I don’t know why I even care
Cause I’m never really there
I’m sure he must be a real nice guy

Could you stay a little longer?
Could you stay a little longer?
Could you stay a little longer?
Could you stay a little longer?


10. POWDER TO THE PEOPLE

You threw me away
Just like all the others
It's been seven days and not a single word

You threw me away
(And for you it's all the same, all the same)
Just like all the others
(And for you it's all the same, all the same)
It's been seven days
(And for you it's all the same, all the same)
And not a single word
(And for you it's all the same, all the same)

Make everything happen exactly just like our love
Just like the ones before, just like the ones before
I hope you know what you are doing to yourself, to yourself
I hope you know what you are doing

And for you it's all the same, all the same
(x4)

(I see comfort; you see security)
(I see comfort; you see security)

You threw me away just like all the others
It's been seven days and not a single word
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive?
It's just the same, the same as yesterday
Don't wake me up if you have nothing to say
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive?

Make everything happen exactly just like our love
Just like the ones before, just like the ones before
I hope you know what you are doing to yourself, to yourself
I hope you know what you are doing

What are you but a yellow-purple zebra
Contacts so I can see clearer?
Write these words in stone, I'm a magnet;
Cause tension and retract it
Please ask me again cause I didn't hear it
Get settled in 'cause you can't be here yet
All partied out on strangers favors
How you act like my friend but we're only neighbors
Excuse me, pardon the eruption
I walk up, press all the buttons
I'll talk down, stress all the functions
I always gotta be startin' something
So, "powder to the people"
'Cause the fight for rights is equal
"Powder to the people"
'Cause the fight for rights is equal

And for you it's all the same, all the same
(x6)

You threw me away just like all the others
It's been seven days and not a single word
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive?
It's just the same, the same as yesterday
Don't wake me up if you have nothing to say
Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive?

(Content with who we are)
(Driving our fast cars)
(Through thin lanes on long roads)
(So much to behold)
(Greatest country? Where you been)
(To form that opinion?)
(See it, believe it: celebrity leadership)
