I don't think you love me anymore Lovers are to fairy tales as death is as to war Gave it all, I gave it up I poured out all our future in a spilling cup I will not live on without you Conchoidal confusion Teenage illusion She waits and she walks She breathes and she talks But not a lot at all, she's losing Not a lot at all, I knew this

I'll remember it: the day we met November's gone once again The ticking in the letter that you sent Man down She knows how to keep a man down In an instant anything can change Exploding postcard in my face In an instant anything can change In a second, third degree burns on my face

Mr. Rosengeist, I'm telling you this ain't right You should invest in an ultramafic hearse You should invest in a way off this Earth Mr. Rosengeist, I'm telling you this ain't right Let the girl home, can't you see I'm all alone? If you'd only known the lengths that I would go Mr. Rosengeist... There's plenty fish in the sea; I'll take the one that belongs to me Mr Rosengeist... you belong to me

You're the second most beautiful girl that I've met I would like to get to know you, ya bet Even just as friends but I hope that's the last time we ever use that word again I would always vacate my lies, I would put them right in front of your eyes Who say's you're not good enough, I say you are good enough A little less and that'd be tough I'm sorry if I'm harsh on you

Twenty days I will walk Try to find, try to talk to anyone who's listening This message is invaluable, people are soluble It's okay, I'm not afraid Okay, I am afraid that no one will hear me No one is near me My life is short and so is yours Lets take the time, lets take a turn to pretend that I matter This is my letter

[Chad: I love you Norah, do you love me? Norah: Well, I don't know Chad. Chad: You're the only girl I've dated in two months. We get along fine, you do love me don't you? Norah: I really don't know, I have to think about it.] [Norah: Mom, how can I tell?... I mean, how did you know when you were in love with Dad?] [Chad: I haven't dated any girl but Norah in two months, we're really in love. Bob: Aww, and you were really in love with Betty and Barry and Dallas and I don't know who else. And there will be others I suppose. Chad: Oh no, that's over with... You know Bob, Norah's the prettiest girl I've ever known. She's just as beautiful as... Bob: Beautiful? And you think that's all that matters?] I walk with my head down low As I walk I don't study the faces I know anyways We bleed of toxic tar We spit and scar in the faces of yesterday [Chad: Did you feel this way when you fell in love with Jean? Bob: Aww look, I've felt that way lots of times! The problem with you is... you don't seem to understand what love is really about. You young punks go to the movies a couple of times, do a little necking and think you're in love! I've never seen anything like it.] All of my friends are taking sympathy classes to undress the golden Fascists that are living deep within their ignorance Sometimes I make a promise to God that I will promise to Mom that I will prove my life is happening [Chad: Well. I don't know Bob. Bob: That's right: you don't know. Maybe you would understand better if...say, I've got an idea! How'd you like to double date with Jean and I tomorrow night? Chad: Why, sure Bob! That'd be swell. You sure you wouldn't mind? Bob: Not if you let me get some sleep now. Goodnight!]

Every goal I've ever had becomes a stagnant relic of a relic of my past and of my future I just want to be alone but why does that make me a loser? I am happy in my mind, content with dying on the outside I feel the stinging on the inside: the pangs of guilt from wasting my time Talking visuals on the telephone / Programming robots using vulture bones: it's a wonderful world Let's play life and lets play death: I'll be God and you my pet You will live through all of it and you will be so sick of it Living's not collecting things, it's finding love and finding sin Orphans trying to smile again, notifying next of kin Turn around, your wayward distant brother says he's deathly scared of clowns We're peeling of the labels on a violent compound and leaving lights on in the house before we leave for Moscow Dousing audio on the VHS / Mouth in my teeth are bleeding violet: it's a wonderful world

It feels so real / pharmaceutical To mend / to heal I'm sorry I hurt you I just... Don't go: I don't want you to, no Wait, I've made a huge mistake Restate / afraid Tomorrow's a better day Don't go: I don't want you to, no

If I could hold you, I'd never disappoint you In time I'll be alright Future fading, rearranging, rearrange my life without you I am living in a cellophane house And every time I try to speak I keep my hand on my mouth cos I'd say anything I would I'd do anything I could For you just to see it, but you're blind in that way And I wish you'd stop the bullets on its way to my braint She is everything I do She is everything I knew I am nothing but a ghost now Oh, I hope she misses me now Have you thought of yourself today? You're so fucking vain.

I think you've done muffed up real good because I'm feeling like I need to bust your head in two You're just a punk with a surfer look trying to get a job at the dollar store If I see you around again I'm gonna show you a magic trick I learned with my hands: it's called the New York City shuffle (and teaching it requires a fucking body double) I think I saw your son, I saw him shoot a businessman for talking on the phone Control the violence / control the gain / control authority: control the pain There's nothing like a glass of wine to wash down a night of vigilantee-ism on the town Get home, lie in bed at 6 o clock Thanking God that he made me rock I am not okay, I feel so much shame living in this dirty town It's got to come around In time I will go out and die and not a single God-fearing man will cry There are things that I would like to say: things that I regret that I do all day I'll give you 50% of the 20% if you ride with me this time Bring your guns, bring your clubs: leave anything home that you think you love Hey, these jokers were hanging around my house and they thought it'd be cool to watch me bleed from the mouth They took my car, they took my cash They trashed my house, they trashed my plans This time we are going in and we are mowing down the troubles as we see fit I knew I could count on you What else could love ever do? I am not okay, I feel so much shame living in this dirty town It's got to come around
