1 .Ring Twice Everybody wants an invitation Ring twice evidently no one's home Sweaty maple like a meditation Ring twice evidently no one's home Mesh rhyme with reason is a notary stone Best time of the season is when nobody's home Mesh rhyme with reason stand right at the lesion Everytime I get less I want more Everytime I get less than Everybody wants a celebration Ring twice evidently no one's home Grain of salt is like a purification Seaside everybody omits time to go Ring high evidently starts the show Meantime everybody commits try and try Fly by setting it back works the go Seaside everybody commits Meantime everybody omits Seaside everybody commits Meantime everybody omits 2. Hello Hello She has the smile of perfect splendor She'll let you think that you can win her Broken beauty wearing superglue She lies so good she believes them too Hello Hello She's got a checkered reputation Lives two lives in syncopation Fractured fairy on the funny page Southern belle she's on a northern stage Hello Hello She has it right She lives two lives Say the list is long Call the missing song Sh*t can even follow you underground 3. Everybody Loves My Car Broken records play Shoes left out all day Trips were started left departed To rise another day Sing a wish for free Pays the rent for me Suns reflection needs reception To rise another day Everybody loves my car Everybody wants my car Plant the seed decay I long to move away Shoot the gun now let me run To rise another day Living out of time is the best for me Freedom in my head fills the rest of me How 'bout you? 4. Peeling an Orange Can't stand the grocery store Are there orchards anymore Blow up the breakwater Still water breeds disease You got what you want Give us back the trees If I gotta live here I gotta breathe Peeling an orange I am expecting Great sweetness Peeling an orange - yes I am very optimistic- Sometimes the acid stings my eyes Building a house from mud I think of her when she's smiling When she alone inside my head You got what you want, give her back to me If she's gonna be free, I got a reason For her to be with me 5. So Long Settle down you know you got a ways to go Moving slowly gets you by Settle down now - You'll be around now After all your flowers die Trees grow from the silence of the earth and never speak Thoughts that come from underneath Are pure and never weak And you have lived for so long You have lived for so long Have regrets you will, it's only natural Have them till the day you die Having doubts now, you'll come about now Birds always fall before they fly 6. Wash me Down Once I was a fine man Until I met the woman And then she washed me down And once I was a dry man Till they took me to a wedding You know they washed me down You can wash me You can wash me down Heaven has no windows 'Cause heaven has no walls Because they wash 'em down The wind blows me in the corner And it pulls me down the hill You know it pulls me down down You know it throws me down You can wash me You can wash me down 7. End Of the world End of the world's coming Because I broke your heart End of the world's coming Before I get a start End of the world's coming Because we've gone too far End of the world's coming 'Cause I thought I was a star End of the world's coming And I've forgotten to confess Now they're saving all the rest Good Mary bless my soul now 'Cause you know God the best You know God the best And you know God the best And I can see it coming Moods are growing dark TV says it's not coming But we know who they are End of the world's coming 'Cause I use it everyday End of the world's coming 'Cause I scuffed my shoes that way 8. John I sit at home 'cause I'm able I sing out loud but complain in the same old way I shake the tree of a fable She sells me lies but she sings on anyway I live alone at the stable Betting twice 'cause the numbers say I'm wrong I've rolled the tree 'cause I'm able I've burned the mountain to prove that they were all wrong What's in a story What's in a name Who makes you hurry What cuts the frame John where have you gone We've waited so long where have you gone Has something gone wrong We've waited so long Where have you gone I sit alone 'cause I'm able I live out life but complain in the same old way I shake the tree that was stable She sells me lies but she sings on anyway 9. Behind Painted numbers and sonic slumbers Fool who thinks he knows it but can't show the way he really feels Goodbye wavers and penny savers - fool who thinks He knows it but can't show the way he really feels I hear them laughing I hear them laughing All the times have I stumbled before Growing weeds through holes in the floor Behind Planted flowers and absent saviors Fool who thinks he knows it... 10. Morning Girl She seems so far away She could sleep through World War III And if they ever start I'd rather be that girl than me The first part of the day She is pleasantly sedated She says she likes to go Where the hate is separated Reality's overrated Soda pop religion on line I must remain in dreamland Just to have a regular life She lives, she lives Morning girl she is Never seen the morning star Never heard me slam the door She must be dreaming good yea She knows what dreams are for 11. Hide I wouldn't wanna tell you How much you make me feel I wouldn't wanna make you feel uncomfortable Only wanna tell ya - how much you make me feel But I wouldn't wanna make you feel uncomfortable I got a feeling - we're holding back the tide I got a feeling we may never show All the love we hide - will soon be mine Long time ago I wouldn't wanna tell you How much you make me feel I wouldn't want to make you feel Invulnerable Only wanna tell you, how much you make me feel, But I wouldn't wanna make you feel invulnerable What I feel is what I fear I what I feel is what I fear 12. Fill the Fields I wish I could write a song just for you I don't know how It's when you're away these walls show years I do know why One hundred eyes have opened on you Where do you sleep It's when I'm alone at the end of your feet I do know why Tomorrow it's better to know you have said Tomorrow show something else instead Remember the dream you told me you had Now was it me It's when I'm awake with a shrug at the day The sun will shine How many knees have prayed in this house Now was it me When I was away, just before time I let them all Fill the fields fill the noise You've shown better than this before Fill the fields fill the noise Let them shuffle around this town
