Enjoy That Dream

what you leave empty handed
comes again
when you freeze like a bandit
i win
a wondrous dream
you're all thinking
a wondrous dream
you're all thinking
about the day
well here it comes
i did it just to say
i'll be gone
enjoy your dreams
without me
enjoy your dreams
without
these ghosts everywhere
giving you a scare
they're talking all the talk talk talk talk
they know you can't hear
what they hide under the table
a new blade
when they smile it's a fable
i've seen it again
enjoy that dream
i know you're thinking
enjoy that dream
i know you're thinking
about probably drugs
you know what i'm thinking about?
probably lust!
i'm in a dream
you're all thinking
i'm in a dream
you're all thinking
i'm in a dream
you're all

A Good Place

quiet now, you are in a good place
quiet now, you are in a good place
with birds
with trees
with sand
fallen leaves
a good place
quiet now, you are in a good place
quiet now, you are in a good place
but i don't want it to end
i don't want it to end
i don't want it to end
i don't want it to end
i don't
no, i don't want it to end
i don't want it to end
i don't want it to end
i don't want it to end
i don't
with birds
with trees
with sand
and fallen leaves
i'm there
with birds
with trees
with sand
and fallen leaves
i'm there
with birds
with trees
with sand
and fallen leaves
i'm there

this is a song for you
oh, this never happened
this isn't true
traveling fast on a distant star
yet not quite sure where they are
this is a song for you:
i've got to say it
i am amazed
by how you do it
all in a daze
going away
sometime soon
but leaving the light
you brought with you
this is a song for you
oh, did you hear that?
a knock at the door!
i wonder who they are
and what they have in store!
all of the answers
to the questions you ask
will be hidden behind their mask
they'll say
"this is a song for you"
lada-de-da, lada-de-da, lada-de-da, ah ha ha ha!

Wasting Time
03:03
|
|||
|
listen up i'll tell a story
one told from fame and glory
but a peculiar unrest of the mind
shouted out a singing box
listing around the tickery-tock
pulling out their souls for a dime
oh, what a mean trick to play!
to pluck our hairs and to waggle and sway
our heads around
what a frivolous thing called life
once you've taken the bite
the taste can grow stale in your mouth
until now
when there's spring on your windowsill
and you sit
voices that cry lie awhile
isn't it nice to just waste time?
for a while...
gotta work
gotta eat
gotta sleep
gotta watch football at 8
you gotta wait
gotta hold
gotta squeeze
untilt the next commercial break
never question this chain on my leg
but i can pull for relief
all wounds will heal
but the scars will always remain
like when i was 9
and running around all the time
gotta know
what you wanna do
10 years from now
you've gotta prepare
if you're ever gonna be
happy somehow
none of this is helping
the cloggy gears
and silent eyes
you find
nor mine...
nor mine

The Friendly Ghost
05:27

|
oh, would you look at that?
it seems one has gotten away!
another rat has found the shortcut
to bust itself out of the relay
now it's off and on it's own
facing the world with nowhere to call its home
welcome back rat, how do you feel?
"renewed"
welcome back rat, how do you feel?
"confused"
what've you brought, rat?
"a disguise"
you can't run, rat!
"i'll hide!"
(here they are!)
"you must
you must
you must
you must
"you must go on...
you must venture on
you must, you must, you must
"you must
you must
you must
you must venture on!
"there's birds!
there's trees!
fallen leaves...
"you must...
oh, you must
you must
you must
you must venture on!
"trees....
fallen leaves..."

The Best Weapon
03:48
|
|||
|
a fear overwhelming
a heart overbending
for the "oh, so tired!" days
i can't face it
a need to replace it
i know the pain will just be the same
so follow my advice
give in to the tide
it's okay to cry
do do do do
its a game we play
in pain we are written
a conscious effort
against the unconsciousness
a shredding guilt
a holy grail
or sacrificial tome
will set you free on your own
now, go to all the banks
where they hold all your time
until you're left with nickels and dimes
do do do do
it's the game you play
in pain, you are written
I still believe that laughter is the best weapon
i still believe that laughter is the best weapon

Wingbird
04:38
|
|||
|
a different direction
a horrible mistake
now, why are these questions so confusing?
gonna take flight...
to the skies...
alright
call me a wingbird
i'm making my own path
paving my own way
some might call suicide
alright
call me a wingbird
i'll escape to the skies
but one day come down
to live the normal every day
average life
that's right!
but here she comes again
you know,
the big beasty steel
devouring and conquering
sucking up the whole dang field
inwards you hear its song
droning loud
na-na-na-na
na-na
na-na
big beasty steel
na-na-na-na
na-na
na-na
big beasty steel
na-na-na-na
na-na
na-na
big beasty steel
flutter, yeah flutter, yeah
fly away little bird
fly fly fly away
fly fly fly away
fly fly fly away
fly fly flu away
i guess i just have to wait
oh, these things that are so confusing
it's what they hate!
ya just needs time!
in the morning you'll be fine!
in the morning you'll be fine!
in the morning you'll be fine!
in the morning you'll be fine!
in the morning you'll be fine!
in the morning you'll be fine!
in the morning you'll be fine!

Fraidy Cat the Cowboy

Fraidy Cat was a cowboy once
he'd turn to his side and pull out a gun
and shoot away all the evil ones
and save the day
there was this time where i thought i was done
i hadn't had a dime and everyone else
had run away
and a man came callin'
"hey, your name!
you b-b-better stop!
or i'll shoot ya up!
zip!
zap!
zong!
zing!
and you're gone!
so you better not run!"
Fraidy Cat came to my rescue
and he said "leave him alone!
he's good for what he's shown!
and if you don't, well,
"I'll cry!"
oh, how he cried
Fraidy cried
oh boy, he cried
Fraidy Cat the Cowboy walked away with me
the man said "I understand"
"I'll letchya' guys go
i lost my best friend a week ago"
so let the record show
give thanks to all of your heroes.
thank you Fraidy!

So Long, Sweet Lullabies
03:17

so long sweet lullabies
holding on too tight
i thought
'it's been long enough
the jig is up'
so pour me a cup
of that sweet sweet stuff
so long sweet lullabies
so long sweet lullabies
i guess you've had enough
of 'big tough stuff'
how long had it been?
"long enough...
"but don't give up
what's down is up."
