I don't wanna be yours anymore
So please don't come a knockin'
Please don't come a knockin'
On my door
Anymore
I don't want to be your baby
So please don't call me maybe
Please don't call me baby
Anymore
Oh, baby can you hear me?
Baby, can you hear me?
Now I'm hitting the road
Going out on my own
Well, now that you know it
Now that you know it
Go ahead and show it
Let the world know it
I ain't gotta sneak out the window
No, I'm going out that door
And I ain't coming back no more

I could hear it in your breathing this morning
Say what you may
Before you go
Could you tell me what you mean
When you say
You say some things, they always change
I guess I’ll have to rearrange
‘Cause I don’t think I wanna lose
The love that might come between us two
Someday
Someday
Oh you seem to smile like there’s something on the line
Every time
But broken dreams won’t mean the end to what is
Yours or mine
You say some things, they always change
I guess I’ll have to rearrange
‘Cause I don’t think I wanna lose
The love that might come between us two
Someday
Someday
And all the magnificent ballrooms
Awaiting their last dance
And even beyond the moon
An unfamiliar romance
And you’re on my mind
You’re on my mind again
You say some things, they always change
I guess I’ll have to rearrange
‘Cause I don’t think I wanna lose
The love that might come between us two
Someday
Someday

The Fountain
05:00
|

Hi, Hello
You’re acting like there’s no tomorrow
While I follow
The strange, old car that speeds ahead of me
Oh, I’ll show you that you’re wrong
Find the fountain and watch it flow
Leave a flower and let it grow
Pour a drink and sip it slow
Take a minute to lose control
At that point, I felt more relevant to the stars
And though my drinkers waltz may never reach the morning paper
They’ve always said you’ve got great taste
Could I try your favorite flavor?
At that point, I felt more relevant to the stars
A genuine casanova told me to cover my tracks
‘Cause if my past were to catch up
It would be no shoulder tap
Oh, please don’t be too hard on yourself
With love hot off the press, it shouldn’t be too hard to sell
Cause some of us gotta work on rooftops
Even if we’re scared of heights
But tonight the people of the party
Request that we stay all night
And it’ll be the death of me
If I don’t put up a fight
Find the fountain and watch it flow
Leave a flower and let it grow
Pour a drink and sip it slow
Take a minute to lose control
At that point, I felt more relevant to the stars
And though my drinkers waltz may never reach the morning paper
They’ve always said you’ve got great taste
Could I try your favorite flavor?
At that point, I felt more relevant to the stars

Can I Put You On Hold?
03:16
|

Can I put you on hold for a moment darling?
Can I put you on hold for a moment dear?
I’ve got a couple friends on the phone right next to
Me on the other line
It’s coming over you
And now I can feel it too
I cheers you with my empty glass
The nerves making me drink all too fast
And now I feel like I’ve gotta do
Something new for you
Can I put you on hold for one last time
Do you mind if I take this call?
Can I put you on hold for a moment darling?
Can I put you on hold for a moment dear?
I’ve got a couple friends on the phone right next to
Me on the other line
Can I put you on hold?
Can I put you on hold?
Can I put you on hold for a moment darling?
Can I put you on hold for a moment dear?
I’ve got a couple friends on the phone right next to
Me on the other line
I put you on hold.

Now I Know
03:54
|
|||
I nearly drove myself across town
One day to find a ride
Way, way down below the sunshine
I found a hideout for a lost soul
And a drink to top it off
From a sad old man living off a catchphrase
And now I know
That all good things can come apart
And now I know
That all I need is a brand new start
We’re changing
We’re changing
And I know that I should be the one
To say hello when all I want to do
Is walk away
An ominous seduction dressed in rags just for fun
Psychotic sunsets breathing down my neck
Re-runs when the seasons done
A series of small victories
And the finale of a lover’s losing streak
And now I know
That all good things can come apart
And now I know
That all I need is a brand new start
We’re changing
We’re changing
The singing neighbors drank all of the juice
Of delirium among their soft creations

When You're Around
02:45
|

We are the circuitry of mindlessness
And we stand biting our tongues
On the forefront of the carnival
And it’s about to begin
But you know it’s alright
When you’re around
And you know it’s alright, alright
When you’re around
We’ve all got access
And we’re here to entertain
Crying out for an ounce of love
Judging now without a doubt
You’ve been crawling for a glimpse of fame
Oh I wanna go out
But I won’t go out without you
And I wanna sing loud
But I aint no good without you
And I wanna brag about
All the reasons that I love you
But I don’t have the words
So won’t you let me show you
But you know it’s alright
When you’re around
And you know it’s alright, alright
When you’re around

I'll Keep It With Me
05:19
|
|||
Well now, of all the ways you could’ve gone mad
You’re telling stories that I wish I had
And the madman's got a pretty good point
You always have fun once you get there
Oh my love, you’re running like you’re never free
Please tell me what you really need
And I’ll keep it with me
Keep on running, if you’re finding something
Keep on living, ‘cause life won’t give in
Sometimes, sometimes
Just so you know
You’ve got to wake up
Before you make it known
Go take your ego trip but please don’t forget
All of the baggage that you’re leaving me with
Was it a pocket-dialed RSVP
When you agreed that the first rounds on me?
Oh my love, you’re running like you’re never free
Please tell me what you really need
And I’ll keep it with me
Keep on running, if you’re finding something
Keep on living, ‘cause life won’t give in
Sometimes, sometimes
Just so you know
You’ve got to wake up
Before you make it known
What they don’t tell you is it’s so hard to see
When it’s darkest before the dawn
And without someone like you near me
It’s getting harder and harder to get through it all
Oh, but what’s this I see?
An angel come down for someone like me
Someone like me
And she kinda looks like you, baby
Oh my love, you’re running like you’re never free
Please tell me what you really need from me
And I’ll keep it, I’ll keep it with me …

Three Spilled Drinks
03:05
|

The prowess of the culprit - death
A chic hard-on for a boring mess
Round and round, round again I go
Just how long? Shit, I’ll never know
I -
I -
I need help
I need help
Culture clubs and dead end bars
Three spilled drinks over peacocked cigars
Writing lines for the garbage bin
Nose clogged choking on our deepest dreams
I -
I -
I need help
I need help
It sounds like you’re taking a ride along
In the illusion
As my passion is turning to madness
The sun won’t stop setting
But I’ll be here when the time comes
Keeping your calling card warm

My Best Behavior
04:42
|
|||
Oh, I want to let it go
But I can’t, no
And I want to let it show
But I won’t, no
And now the barstool prophet
Has got some food for thought
Says I should play along
‘Cause all my headaches seem to go away
When she comes down to the planet that I’ve been on
Oh you make me feel like a poem that never rhymes
And I can’t even feel the fire of all the bridges burning behind me
Carrying what might overflow
All of the green lights say go
Nothing but green lights
Oh you’ll see me on my best behavior
I’ll be there early not a minute later
You’ll see me on my best behavior
So how about eight-thirty?
No more flimsy flowers kid
I’ll be dancing even when you’re looking
And my love, you know my love’s here to stay
The potency of the chemistry between us
Could keep me awake for days
And there’s no more letting doubt decide for me
And when you think of me
I hope you find something
A solid memory
That makes you laugh at me
Oh you’ll see me on my best behavior
I’ll be there early not a minute later
You’ll see me on my best behavior
So how about eight-thirty?

Sweetie Pie
04:22
|
|||
Everything is in its best light
A mad parade
But now I think I’ve found her
My golden girl
And you’re not off the hook
‘Til you come along with me
No more vacant arms at sunrise
Sweetie Pie
Could this fascination be the end of me
A sensation so sweet
And now your eyes confess
Your heart is ready to be held
But may I be the one
I’ve seen these things before
But can I endure?
Do you have time for tea for two?
There’s a cute little shop, I think the manager’s new
Equal companions digging forsaken acts
Inspiring spectacles at the drop of a hat
With my sweetie, with my sweetie pie
Under a blanket, under a blanket blue
Sweetie, with my sweetie pie
Under a blanket, under a blanket of blue
I speak of laughter and I speak of tears
And of here after and faded years
In wooded glen and moonlit stream
I sing again a lover’s dream
And I believe when shadows fall
My heart will call out to the music of another day
And to you baby, baby, baby
Do you have time for something new?
I’ve just heard the news, they love the work that you do
So stay in the moment, cause lest we forget
Time always plays tricks and I take the bet
With my sweetie, with my sweetie pie
Under a blanket, under a blanket blue
Sweetie, with my sweetie pie
Under a blanket, under a blanket of blue

The Diaries of David Darling
A history of what you’re missing
Didn’t like to be at home
Couldn’t ever be alone
Til’ he found a lovely girl like her
Cutting-edge mental arcade
Couldn’t fix the break of day
Til she told him that she’d seen the world
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh
Curses out the window that I can’t see
Wake up next to new love in the stone cold morning
And if you thought you could change them
Then you best rearrange them
‘Cause they’re sticking together, sticking together now
The Diaries of Delilah Martin
A guided tour through her lovely madness
Didn’t like the uniform
Fell asleep to the alarm
Said she’d hear it when it was time
And on her daily walk along
David tried to sing a song
“Would you like a little company?”
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh
Curses out the window that I can’t see
Wake up next to new love in the stone cold morning
And if you thought they were danger
Then you must be a stranger
‘Cause they’re sticking together, sticking together now
She said we’re all crustaceans aching in a tender light
Of all the early morning’s plausible lies

Baby, I'll Stay
03:07
|

Baby, doesn’t it always seem like
The night will never end
When we’re out of our heads?
Well, now that it’s morning, baby
I can see your eyes
Waking up in mine
Wouldn’t you say that this is nice
Don’t have to ask me even twice
So lovely to start again
Baby, just another trend
That we’ll wear out tonight
Oh, baby
And she said, Daredevil
Won’t you stay this morning
And into the night?
I’ll make some breakfast
And we can take a walk
Into the new day’s light
Baby, if you want me to stay another night
Baby, I’ll stay
Baby, if you want me to stay another night
Baby, I’ll stay

Time To Move On
04:39
|
|||
Darling, can’t you feel the rain on your face?
It seems it’s been so long since I’ve been outside my head
And I know (x4) that you thought I would change
You say I’m cruisin’ for a bruisin’ with the friends that I’ve made
And I know (x4) that you don’t seem to understand what a difference a day could make
Do you ever wonder, babe?
Of course I do
Do you ever see a future without me?
You know that it’s so hard to
But it’s time to move on again
And baby I know you’re there
And I can see through that sarcasm and that daring glare
And it’s so hard to know that you’ll never look at me that way
Ever again, ever again
Your thoughts are taking all my pretty pennies
And I can’t spend no more
Weekend benders just to conquer crooked sadness
And I’m so sorry if I put it on you
And (x3) you’re surprised to admit
But maybe going crazy is just a part of it
And I know (x4) that you didn’t think that you’d make it through the day
But I know that you’re wrong, I’ve been there (I’ve sung that song)
And somehow the days keep coming (Keep coming on)
But that sad man’s orchestras gone home and gone to bed
It’s time to get it together
And it’s time to move on again
And baby I know you’re there
And I can see through that sarcasm and that daring glare
And it’s so hard to know that you’ll never look at me that way
Ever again, ever again
Life’s a subtle, funny, mean old thing
Just see what tomorrow brings
Just don’t show up with empty hands

Reflect your moods like spread on toast
While jumping ship to see below
A breath of life with smoke attached
We trickle through the afternoon
Cake-walk diet, five-star riot
Neon slice of life’s invited
Living off sarcastic zooms
Still momma seems to understand
You gotta hurt yourself to be human
Demons giving dancing lessons
Drinking dreamers satisfaction
Things I never thought I knew
Come out to play when I’m with you
So pet it slow and watch it moan
Echoes fuzzy, still we’ve grown
Feel the pulse, the undertone
I forgot, there’s nothing wrong
Children Melting Velvet
Children Melting Velvet
Children Melting Velvet
So don’t be mad at the world for going on without you
‘Cause I can’t watch you lie in the wake
Of all these things that have been gone for so long
Children Melting Velvet
Children Melting Velvet
Children Melting Velvet
Children Melting Velvet
Children Melting Velvet
Children Melting Velvet
