Water

for Greg
I wait for the end of time -
Why can't it be happening here?
Dear mouth of all the open sky:
Please eat my High School
I reign, the all county chump
Landfill for the loser's luck
I wait til the shouts die down
I am not listening
You trouble the waters
The waters trouble backward
The river hungry, waiting for you
If I could meet someone like you
And you would give a second look
Sew some muscle to the bones
I could see this working
We trouble the water
The river ever onward
The crush of the rapids
They sharpen different facets
I’m all the sharper, stronger for you

Holiday
02:42
|
|||
for Dawn
All's a stage
We play it for ourselves
And at the exit and the start
It's only you and no one else
What I mind
To disturb the toll of fate
Is that the tolling keeping time
Is my own pulse that's keeping pace
Uh, uh - and it only keeps for you.
Uh, uh - and it only keeps for you. And I say
Uh, uh - it only beats for you. And I say
Uh, uh - and it only keeps for you.
All I mind,
Learned an infant and a child.
We mean to show we know it all
But what we ever find?
All it's worth -
We curse and sigh and burn (With curses I am burned?)
We beat the earth to know the truth
Then beat inside the earth
Uh, uh - and yet it beats for you.
Uh, uh - it beats and keeps for you. And I say
Uh, uh - young beasts will know it's true:
From the dream and to the sleep - it's all that keeps for me and you

the Scientist
01:46
|
|||
for Ryan
Well I can't stand all the aimless patience
Rolling round their eyes like the stars ain't fading
Everybody celebrates their segregation
But all that I want is the information
Yeah! All right!
We'll be dead in time!
Let's celebrate the casualties
Let's be singing when we're winnin
Spittin teeth and grinnin
Sucking out the pulse of the heart of the cynic
Rippin thru the lining
Guessing at the findings
Seeing whatsit makes us shine
All right
Well your 'zine got boring cuz the scene's the limit
Tho she may well be read, there's no nature in it
How you use your bite like your teeth ain't wasted?
All that I ask is the information
Yeah! It's true!
We'll be dead so soon!
Let's celebrate the casualties
Let's be singing when we're winnin
Spittin teeth and grinnin
Licking cynic blood off our lips and our fillings
Pulling down the curtains
Finding what's for certain
Takin notes on what we find
All right
Young gets old it time
Let's be singing when we're winnin
Spittin teeth and grinnin
Sucking out the pulse of the heart of the cynic
Rippin thru the lining
Guessing at the findings
Seeing whatsit makes us shine
If it's gonna come to living
Let it be the limit
Coming down the mountain, burning through the village
Pulling down the curtains
Finding what's for certain
Takin notes on what we find
All right

Send Me
02:10
|
|||
for Barbara
She asks to hear the song that moves her stars to forget shadow;
Lights sing from listening, she hears.
She says:
"Oh, play it again, please -
I like, I like where you send me.
When daylight is ending
I like, I like where you send me.
I like, I like where you send me."
I'd play an elegy, but here the stars are gathered with me
I play the songs she'd want to hear.
When daylight is ending
I like, I like where you send me
Oh, sing her again, please
I like, I like where you send me.
I like, I like where you send me

Don't Mind
02:22
|
|||
for Tracie
I will wait here for your footsteps
I could wait here for a time
But if you don't mind
Then I won't mind, anyway
I won't be here but a moment
But each moment is a year
When you're near by
There is no time, anyway
When you come by
Yeah it's all right, anyway

After the Storm
01:50
|
|||
for Todd
Before the storm I was unarmed
A runt, I'm sure - I saw your eyes
I dreamt a dream of me and and we
Together of the aching kind
I wanted everything I had
I wanted everything I had
And so the light came down in bolts
And beams and washed the sky apart
I meant to shield you from the end
Tho seems that brought us to the start
I wanted everything I had
I wanted everything I had
Bah! Bah bah bah!
I wanted everything I had
You wanted everything I am
I wanted everything I had
You wanted everything I am

STUUU
01:55
|
|||
for Stu
Stu! Stu!
Put the man in goal! Put the team on his chest!
Put the fear in their hearts and their hearts in arrest!
See the fire that is in his eyes
See the blood that's in there too
Cuz it's Stu! Yeah it's Stu!
And it's Stu, yeah it's Stu, yeah it's Stu it's Stu!
Stu! Stu!
Legend tells of a man that's made of steel
You can make him bleed, but can you make him feel?
Be the heat that will temper the god of the goal
And he will make you queen
Cuz it's Stu! Yeah it's Stu!
And it's Stu, yeah it's Stu, yeah it's Stu it's Stu!
(Oo Girl you know it’s Stu!)
Stu!
Cuz it's Stu! Yeah it's Stu!
And it's Stu, yeah it's Stu, yeah it's Stu it's Stu!

These Days
02:16
|
|||
for Kate
Well everybody's telling me what I gotta be these days
Not sayin' that they hold me down
Just thinking that I hear that sound
And every day's a habit but I wonder if it's gotta be
See, I only wanna come off clean
Do you understand a word I mean?
Is no one's gonna show me what they're cooking up for me today?
Is there even such a kind of thing?
Or maybe I just think it seems?
And this road that I been following seems less and less a thing to me
Think I'm a gonna go off screen
And would you like to come along with me?
It's alright!
I'm just fine!
No one's gonna tell me just what I ought to be today

We Run With Gangs
04:09
|
|||
for our Gang
[G...]
We got a fist full of dynamite, a mouth fulla fangs
We Run With Gangs! We Run With Gangs!
We got napalm blood so get out of our way
We Run With Gangs! We Run With Gangs!
[C G C G C G A]
You're in with the Teens
Or you're into the dirt
Everybody get down
And nobody get hurt
Don't tell our Moms
They'd never look at us the same…
We run with gangs!
[riff - G A# C A# x4]
[G C G C G C A D x2]
Rolling into class - on our skateboards
And all the teachers screaming - oh my Lord
Our feet up the desk - becuz we're bored
We don't do rules cuz we're too dang hard
Throwing parties - in the teacher's lounge
Drinking soda - and making out
Cherry bombing - the bathroom stalls
Ditching class to hang out at the mall
[G...]
We ride rad dirt bikes with decal'd flames
We Run With Gangs! We Run With Gangs!
We just ran out of business cards, so remember the name
We Run With Gangs! We Run With Gangs!
[C G C G C G A]
It's TGSM
Or it's DOA
Don't mess with us
Or we'll mess up your face
We break all the rules
Except we always look both ways
We run with gangs!
[LONG SOLO ON G]
[G C G C G C A D x2]
We've no respect - for authority
We're eating cookies - any time we please
Doesn't matter - if we brushed our teeth
We're too hard for cavities!
We're solving mysteries - the grown ups won't touch
Secret societies - and crooked cops
We cracked the case - of the Lost Town Funds
But the mayor won't admit it cuz we're too hot to touch
[G...]
We got a mouth fulla of dynamite, a fist fulla fangs
We Run With Gangs! We Run With Gangs!
We cooked a barbed wired brunch with quiche lorraine
We Run With Gangs! We Run With Gangs!
[C G C G C G A x2]
It's TGSM
Or it's DOA
Don't mess with us
Or we'll mess up your face
We break the rules
And we break for parades
Yeah you're in with the Teens
Or you're into the dirt
Everybody get down
And no body get hurt
But don't tell our Moms
They'd never look at us the same…
We run with gangs!
