No disaster can keep us apart War and plague and flood won't slow my heart How can I think that words can express how I feel? Only know that some things never die, And though it sounds surreal and too ideal All the love that I can give to you Is absolutely fireproof

You: I could recognize your face from across and ocean And you look so very different since the gears kicked in motion And I remember when every night Was in plain sight and clear as day And you had everything and you threw it away You: former guiding light, discovered the fountain of youth And you: current fading star, example of the bitter truth That you're no more than what you own Now you're alone, the papers say That you had everything and you threw it away The roses at your feet have wilted and died And now you're out on the street with nothing to hide You: former guiding light, discovered the fountain of youth And you: current fading star, example of the bitter truth That if I was standing in your place I'd fall from grace like you today And I'll have everything and I'll throw it away

Standing there feeling so helpless I always knew it would come to this Mysteries difficult to crack Life won't stop calling you back ... Follow your leader to your rest Just don't let them catch you at your best As long as you know where your towel is You could try and achieve true bliss

Someday the sun will go down Someday the sun will go down forever And when the sun goes down forever We'll be partying on Someday your eyes will close Someday your eyes will close forever

He’s got a jar of raptor’s milk and an ICBM (Secrets of the world) And he’s the only man in the world who will ever see them. (For a future world) He’s got a golden reindeer skull and a bow and arrow (And he’s got some plans) And his brain is slightly right of the straight and narrow (For his fellow man) And he knows what he’s gonna do (and he knows) But we’ll never know He’s got the gun of Charles Guiteau and some ammunition (He will see this through) He’s got a thousand shrunken heads and a bad disposition (He’ll look after you) He’s got a jar of raptor’s milk and an ICBM (Finger on the button) And he’s the only man in the world who will ever see them.

I’ve never felt such heavy shadows than when you’re with me. The wind never howls quite like it does when you’re with me. I got in the car and you took me on a trip to anywhere, But at the end of the road deep down I knew that I did not care, And I wish you hadn’t locked the doors. The stars never looked quite as dim as when you’re with me. And every song that I hear sounds grim when you’re with me. You took me in your arms and you told me you wished time would stand still. But, if your wish came true, then my only wish is that I be killed. I wish you’d never touch me again. I don’t want to hurt you The way you hurt me.

I was sorry for myself And I was sorry for everyone But then one day I realized Whose fault it really was I grew something on my face And I moved out to the woods But I realized life was easier With these consumer goods I had broken up with you When I thought my heart was sick But it was the strings and horns That made me feel so dramatic I was lost in my mind Then I knew what I had to find So I stopped at a gas station And asked for some directions I pulled out the tongue from the gift horse’s mouth And that’s how I conquered the south I moved to New York City so I could get some rest And that’s how I won the west I sang about my brother And how he taught me not to smile But then I just remembered That I am an only child I was playing our song And it was chewing up my brain So I switched on my amplifier And now I’m singing in the rain I know my time will come But I know that sounds kinda dumb So if you tire of all this schlock Just let me know and I will stop

You were the Hope Diamond in their eyes You were the red giant in their skies But they went and built you up And they tore you down And they buried you Don’t you know? They made decisions for you They robbed you of your senses They wrote the caustic reviews And still they told you it was okay, okay You were the summer house on a beach You were the millions within reach Then they turned their backs on you When the sa(i)l(e)s fell low And the breezes died Can’t you see? They milked you for all you’re worth They left you for worse than dead They chewed you up, spit you out And still they told you it was okay

Some days it seems to me That the world collectively Forgets that turn signals exist. And if one makes a sudden left, I’d have him put to death. Cause he’s the type that would not be missed. Those stupid photos you puke online Only waste my precious time. Your Google search history Elicits a true sadness in me. Well I went out to a show And I really wanted to go, But the songs I heard just left me feeling bored. So I dragged myself back home And sat around and bemoaned The five bucks that I parted with at the door. My car just ran out of gas While trying to find the cheapest gas. Then I went and shot myself, A remedy for short-term health. Oh how my head aches At the thought of having to wake And not hit snooze right after the alarm. So just crack me open a beer, And I’ll be in the clear. To start the day that way never did no one no harm. My job’s alright but I aspire Someday to get my bad self fired. Now that would be a good excuse For some real hedonistic self-abuse! It’s alright, it's alright We’ll forget about today tonight. And we’ll forget tonight as well And together bid farewell To our memories, adieu, and goodnight.

Nothing seems to satisfy This yearning feeling deep inside My desires are very plain I don't want to be of harm To touch, to hold you close to me What have I got to hide? Ask my parents, ask my friends I've got no reason to pretend You know I'd never harm a flea Just as long as you let her be Day by day and year by year This yearning feeling sometimes fades Maybe at the right frequency We could someday possibly...

You say the concept is there, But where I’m standing right now All I can see is the result. And you have taken your time To study all of the intricate Details there by default Under the bridge then, I discovered what I could do. My eyes were a cinema the world was projected onto. But now I am effectively as dead as [fill-in-the-blank] But at least my slate is clean The tiny placard beside, Loaded with words that nobody cares to Scan while passing by. And maybe within a week I’ll build a fire and send this effort Upward toward the sky. Down by the docks, I saw an uglier side to you. Your eyes were just windows I was able to see right through. And now I’m back to where I started as if nothing ever came before But at least my slate is clean.

The sky was all purple and it melted into orange In a gradient fade, in a gradient fade The ground had disappeared and they were standing on the edge Saw what their minds made, saw what their minds made The monorail doors opened up and there was music playing A line of men stepped out clad in suits and holding briefcases Into nothing but air, into nothing but air And all the while, they remained there fully suspended They all floated there, they all floated there.

She took down the pictures and lovingly Placed them in a box and stowed them away But she won’t ever forget where they are And where they’re going to stay In the hopes that maybe someday She has a reason to put them back On the mantle and in the foyer He took down the film canister and Opened it up and poured the contents out And when he realized what he was doing He began to feel pangs of doubt As to what this was all about If his premonitions could justify Heading down this route They smile so brightly and shrug it all off But it runs deeper than they’d care to admit And there is no avoiding the undeniable Inescapable fact that they've hit Rock bottom and they’re anchored there Rock bottom and running out of air And they don’t seem to understand That soon they will be drowned, since they’ve hit Rock bottom and they’re anchored there Rock bottom and running out of air And they’re digging themselves a trench That goes six feet underground She cleaned out the studio Apartment and cleared it of all of her things But as she turned the car’s ignition She felt an omnipresent sting And every time the telephone rings She fears the eventual discussion Of all of their sufferings And he stays at home and contemplates his next move Like a chess game he’s ready to quit And he knows she’ll never find another like him, And he knows there’s no one in the world like him, And he knows not of what he plans to do, But he knows exactly what he should do, And he knows someday that he is going to die, And he knows someday everyone is going to die, And he knows that when it is said and done, he’s hit-

At the ends of my fingers I can access all of history The entire universe located in a handheld library The information is infinite and the information is free I know everything and I feel like crap I know about the ham sandwich theorem and the Shang Dynasty I’ve done all my taxes while keeping current on foreign policy I’ve listened to Mummi Kutoo while learning to speak Farsi I know everything and I feel like crap I’ve got the whole world in my hands I’ve got the whole world in my hands I’ve got the whole world in my hands Now what do I do with it?
