Pretty Good Year 

     Tears on the sleeve of a man don't wanna be a boy today 
     heard the eternal footman bought himself a bike to race 
     and Greg he writes letters and burns his CD's 
     they say he was something in those formative years 
     hold on to nothing as fast as you can 
     well, still, pretty good year 

     Maybe a bright sandy beach is gonna bring you back 
     may not so now you're off you're gonna see America 
     well let me tell you something about America 
     pretty good year 

     some things are melting now well 
     what's it gonna take till my baby's alright 

     And Greg he writes letters with his birthday pen 
     sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in 
     Lucy was pretty your best friend agreed 
     well still pretty good year 

     God 

     God sometimes you just don't come through 
     God sometimes you just don't come through 
     do you need a woman to look after you ?
     God sometimes you just don't come through 

     You make pretty daisies love I gotta find 
     what you're doing about things here a few 
     witches burning gets a little toasty here 
     I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows 

     tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand 
     you got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case 
     heard you gone south well babe you love your new 4 wheel 
     I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows 

     Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall 
     will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall 

     Bells For Her 

     And through the life force and there goes her friend on 
     Nishiki it's out of time and through the portal they can make amends 
     hey would you say whatever we're blanket friends 
     can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way 

     And through the walls they made their mudpies 
     I've got your mind I said she said 
     I;ve your voice I said you don't need my 
     voice girl you have your own but you never thought 
     it was enough so the went years and years 
     like sisters blanket friends 
     always there through that and this 
     there's nothing we cannot ever fix I said 
     can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way 

     Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls 
     brothers and lovers she and I were now 
     she seems to be sand under his shoes 
     there's nothing I can do 
     can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way 

     And now I speak to you are you in there 
     you have her face and her eyes but you are not her 
     and we go at eachother like blank ettes who cannot 
     find their thread and their bare 
     can't stop loving can't stop what is on it's way 
     and I see it coming and it's on it's way 

     Past The Mission 

     I don't believe I went too far 
     I said I was willing 
     she said she knew what my books did not 
     I thought she knew what's up 

     Past the mission behind the prison tower 
     past the mission I once knew a hot girl 
     past the mission they're closing every hour 
     past the mission I smell the roses 

     She said they all think they know him well 
     she knew him better 
     everyone wanted something from him 
     I did too but I shut my mouth 
     and he just gave me a smile 

     Hey they found a body 
     not sure it was his they're using his name 
     and she gave him shelter and somewhere I know she knows 
     something only she knows 

     Baker, Baker 

     Baker Baker baking a cake 
     make me a day make me whole again 
     and I wonder what's in a day 
     what's in your cake this time 

     I guess you heard he's gone to L.A. 
     he says that behind my eyes I'm hiding 
     and he tells me I pushed him away 
     that my heart's been hard to find 

     here 
     there must be something here 
     there must be something here 
     here 

     Baker Baker can you explain 
     if truly his heart was made of icing 
     and I wonder how mine could taste 
     maybe we could change his mind 

     I know you're late for your next parade 
     you came to make sure that I'm not running 
     well I ran from him in all kinds of ways 
     guess it was his turn this time 

     time 
     thought I'd made friends with time 
     thought we'd be flying high 
     maybe not this time 

     Baker Baker baking a cake 
     make me a day 
     make me whole again 
     and I wonder if he's okay 
     if you see him say hi 

     The Wrong Band 

     I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band 
     Ginger is always sincere just not to one man 
     she called me up and she said you know that I'm drowning 
     it's the dog trainer again he says 
     that he thinks that she needs more hands 

     I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band 
     Senator let's be sincere as much as you can 
     he called me up and he said the new prosecuter 
     soon will be wanting a word so 
     she's got a soft spot for heels and spurs and 

     there's something believing in her voice and her voice again said 
     there's something believing instead of just leaving 
     And she gets her cigars from the sweet fat man 

     I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band 
     Heidi says she'll be sincere as much as she can 
     I called her up and I said you know that I'm drowning 
     put on your raincoat again cause even the sun's got a price on it 
     and there's something believing in her voice again said 
     there's something believing instead of just leaving 

     She said it's time I open my eyes 
     don't be afraid to open your eyes 
     maybe she's right 
     maybe she's right 
     maybe she's right 
     maybe she's right 

 
     The Waitress 


     So I want to kill this waitress 
     She's worked here a year longer than I 
     If I did it fast you know that's an act of kindness 

     But I believe in peace 
     I believe in peace Bitch 
     I believe in peace 

     I want to kill this waitress 
     I can't beleive this violence in mind 
     and is her power all in her club sandwich 

     I want to kill this killing wish 
     they're too many stars and not enough sky 
     Boys all think she's living kindness 
     ask a fellow waitress 
     ask a fellow waitress 

     Cornflake Girl 

     Never was a cornflake girl 
     thought that was a good solution 
     hangin' with the raisin girls 
     she's gone to the other side 
     givin' us a yo heave ho 
     things are getting kind of gross 
     and I go at sleepy time 

     this is not really happening 
     you bet your life it is 
     Peel out the watchword 
     just peel out the watchword 

     She knows what's goin' 
     on seems we got a cheaper feel now 
     all the sweeteaze are gone 
     gone to the other side with my encyclopedia 
     they musta paid her a nice price 
     she's puttin' on her string bean love 

     this is not really happening 
     you bet your life it is 
     Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl 

     and the man with the golden gun 
     thinks he know so much thinks he knows so much 

     Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl 


     Icicle 

     Icicle Icicle where are you going 
     I have a hiding place when spring marches in 
     will you keep watch for me I hear them calling 

     gonna lay down 
     gonna lay down 

     greeting the monster in our Easter dresses 
     Father says bow you head like the Good Book says 
     well I think the Good Book is missing some pages 

     gonna lay down 
     gonna lay down 

     and when my hand touches myself 
     I can finally rest my head 
     and when they say "take of his body" 
     I think I'll take from mine instead 

     Getting Off 
     Getting Off 
     while they're all downstairs 
     singing prayers 
     sing away 
     he's in my pumpkin p.j's 
     lay a book on my chest 
     feel the word 
     feel the word 
     feel the word 
     feel it 

     I could have 
     I should have 
     I could have flown you know 

     I could have 
     I should have 
     I didn't know 

     Cloud On My Tongue 

     Someone's knockin' on my kitchen door 
     leave the wood outside 
     what all the girls here are freezing cold 
     leave me with your Borneo 
     I don't need much to keep me warm 

     don't stop now what you're doing 
     what you're doing my ugly one 
     Bring them all here 
     hard to hide a hundred 
     girls in your hair 
     it won't be fair if I hate her 
     if I ate her you can go now 

     You're already in there 
     I'll be wearing your tatoo 
     you're already in there 

     Got a cloud sleeping on my tongue 
     he goes then it goes and 
     kiss the violets as they're waking up 
     leave me with your Borneo 
     leave me the way I was before 

     You're already in there 
     I'll be wearing your tatoo 
     I'm already in 

     circles and circles and circles again 
     the girls in circles and circles 

     got to stop spinning 

     circles and circles and circles again 
     thought I was over the bridge now
