Where Do You Want Me

Every time you come around I feel
That life's worth noticing
And every time you com around I fear
That you won't notice me
It's not supposed to be a game
But you keep playing
It's not supposed to be this way
Just keep pretending
Whoa, so where do you want me?
Whoa, so how's it gonna be?
Swell up inside of me and steal
The air out from my lungs
Hook, line, and sinker reel me in
With the words spewed from your tongue
You played your part, acting so well
The tortured lover
Pull back the curtain take a bow
But the show's not over
Whoa, so where do you want me?
Whoa, so how's it gonna be?
Forget words unspoken
I said I'd do anything for you
But tonight's almost over
So where do you want me?
Whoa, so where do you want me?
Whoa, so how's it gonna be?

Stupid for You

Lyrics:
I've been up all night
Bouncing quarters, writing the news
Driving through my empty spaces
Scattering lead-based paint
On the way home I stopped
Spat off the bridge
Caught a fish, threw it back
It's too much to take tonight.
Did I tell you, did I tell you that I'm stupid for you?
Sorry I'm not your type
Maybe in a dimmer light.
In the elevator I'm the face in the wall
Eyes like a skeleton,
Swaying to the echo and call
Dressed up for muzak and mingling with fiends
I've been up all night
Bouncing quarters, writing the news
Driving through my empty spaces
Did I tell you, did I tell you that I'm solemn and alone?
Sorry I don't want to fight
Have a drink, call it a night.
Siphon the difference, diffuse the open tones
Tell all the crashers it's time to go home.

VERSE:
I've been down at the shore
with sand between my teeth
fade in on a fallen figure
in the ether underneath
A red sky and a westward migration
clutching the shattered bell
of a wine bottle washed up from nowhere
anyway, if you're nowhere I'll never tell
PRE-CHORUS:
Where does this leave me?
From the sky, I'm small.
CHORUS:
Let me take you in my arms
Spread like waves and fall apart
Breaking at the shoreline for a while
In the darkness, I'm a liar
I'm charming as a priest by daylight
Is it wrong to say I want to see you smile?
VERSE:
I've been walking the shore
with sand between my toes
fade out on a blurred horizon
and hours in front of TV shows
Signals from a satellite
attack my ears on Tuesday night
take my hand across the void
Tell me it'll be all right
PRE-CHORUS:
Where does this leave me?
From the sky, I'm small.
CHORUS:
Let me take you in my arms
Spread like waves and fall apart
Breaking at the shoreline for a while
In the darkness, I'm a liar
I'm charming as a priest by daylight
Is it wrong to say I want to see you smile?

Spin me around
Forget what you found
You force your way in
But you don't belong
Promises made
For yourself to save
You wanted it all
But you're only losing me
Will you find what you found in me?
Wailing, waiting
Look around to see who looked away
Watching, wondering
What went wrong and how you lost your way
Oh, your desperate pleading
Your eyes, tears filling
They won't let you in
You're reaching out
And pulling me down
Trying so hard
You're just more alone
Pretending you see
Something in me
A life something more
Than what you first asked for
Will you find what you found in me?
Wailing, waiting
Look around to see who looked away
Watching, wondering
What went wrong and how you lost your way
Oh, your desperate pleading
Your eyes, tears filling
They won't let you in

A World Apart
03:46
|
|

It's a perfect thing
You're a mystery
Don't know what you mean
But you scream my name
And there's no escape
What you do to me
But your worlds are a world apart
What you say and what you mean
So keep on with your clever lines
While I'm pulled between
And I'm falling down through the cracks in the screen
What is that to you?
And you said I looked like your wet dream queen
And who am I to argue?
Close your eyes and breathe
Take the life from me
While you grit your teeth
Cry in agony
Or in ecstasy
And pour into me
But your worlds are a world apart
What you say and what you mean
Keeping on with your clever lines
While I'm pulled between
And I'm falling down through the cracks in the screen
What is that to you?
And you said I looked like your wet dream queen
And who am I to argue?
