Neighbor
02:59
|
|||
Stereo plays on the other side of the wall
The bass crawls in through the floor boards to our ears
Stereo plays on the other side of the wall
It comes in through the thin shotgun walls
I could think of no other better neighbor
Goodbye neighbor, he's moving out.
Stereo plays on the other side of the wall
The bass crawls in through the floor boards to our ears
It was kind of hard to get used to at first
But once I got used to it I found it was kind of comforting in the end
We can be loud too, in the middle of the night.
I could think of no other better neighbor
Goodbye neighbor, he's moving out.

Taking A Trip
03:14
|

Well I'm going on, going on a trip to the sun
And I might not be coming back
Oh what a handsome man,
I'll do what I can
Well I ain't asking for much
Come on babe lets give it a try
What we got to lose my love
Come on babe let me on your side
Come on, come on, come on,
Come on babe lets give it a try
Let me on your side.
Well I'm asking you nicely come and take
Come and take a trip to the moon
For I'm tired of running to you
Oh what a handsome man
I'll do what I can
Well I ain't asking for much
Come on babe lets give it a try
What we got to lose my love
Come on babe let me on your side
Come on, come on, come on,
Come on babe lets give it a try
Let me on your side.

Creosote
03:47
|
|||
The smell of creosote in the sun
That is where the adventure begun
Salt licks your skin in the wind
The more dilapidated the dock
The more it entices us to climb it
Rotten holes in the boardwalk
Picture frames the glistening waters
Subtly dancing below
And we're having a ball
Ain't we having a ball
Yes we're having a ball
We made it to the highest piling
A bundle of match sticks for giants
Watery dynamite
And then we jump
Into the deep and frigid waters below
And we're having a ball
Ain't we having a ball
Yes we're having a ball.

Anything To Forget
02:22
|
|||
Well lets do the hanky panky
Well lets do the one two step
Well lets do the I don't give a shit
Well lets do anything to forget
I don't want to go out
I don't want to stay in
I don't want to go out and I don't want to stay in
Well inside I'm screaming
Can't you see that baby
All I get is silence
You know I can't take it
No more
You know I can't take it oh
Tell me how does it feel to be inside you skin
And how do you think it feels to not know a god damn thing
Oh lets do the hanky panky
Lets do the one two step
Lets do the I don't give a shit
Lets do anything to forget
I don't want to go out
I don't want to stay in
I don't want to go out and I don't want to stay in
Well oh shit, then what comes next

Concrete Snake
03:03
|
|||
Well there ain't no, ain't no use to
Sit and wonder what could have happened
If we didn't yell and cry
So you'll walk out, out that door and
You know I won't follow
You know we can't go backwards and we can't stay here
You know we can't stay put no longer, can't go backwards either
So I'll jump in the van and
I'll drive to the country side
Be listening to the stereo so
So I don't listen to
The engine whir and whine
Grumble and grind
Is that a new sound I hear?
Oh concrete snake, take, take, take,
Take me on, on down the road
Oh concrete, oh concrete, take me down
You know we can't go backwards and we can't stay here
You know we can't stay put no longer, can't go backwards either
So I'll walk out that door and
You know you can't follow

Shoes
03:13
|
|||
What do you think about when
You are alone my friend, friend?
Help me find my other shoe and
I'll be on my, on my way out
Did the dogs eat it?
Is it under the sofa?
Did I leave one outside?
I'll get down on my hands and knees
Searching under every table
Help me find my other shoe and
I'll be on my, on my way out
Did the dogs eat it?
Is it under the sofa?
Did I leave one outside?
You know when you go to the fridge and
Stand there looking, looking in
Not quite sure what you came there for
So help me find my other shoe and I'll be out that door
Did the dogs eat it?
Is it under the sofa?
Did I leave one outside?
What do I think about when
I am alone my friend, friend?

Eyes For A Day
02:46
|
|||
Take my advice, don't worry so much
Take just one day, one day at a time
For that is all I can do to ease my mind
Ease my mind, boy, ease my mind
Well I wish I could give you my eyes for a day
Then you could see you from my way
Yes I wish I could give you my eyes for a day
Then you could see you from my way
Thinking 'bout death every day
How you expect to get a long that way
Take just one day, one day at a time
For that is all I can do to ease me mind
Well I wish I could give you my eyes for a day
Then you could see you from my way
Yes I wish I could give you my eyes for a day
Then you could see you from my way
Yes I wish I could give my eyes for a day
Then you wouldn't want to go away.

Take It Slow
03:30
|
|||
Take it slow, take it slow
For the light shines when you don't search
Too hard for it, it's there before you
When my hunger is insatiable, when I think of it
When I think oh.
So I take it on one thought at a time
Can't do much else
Take it slow my love, take it slow
There's too much to think about oh.
The light and the dark
Can show you what's stark
What is real and what is passing
Like the weather blows in and out
And the thunder rolls
It is not going to hit today
Take it slow, take it slow
For the light shines when you don't search
