In The Fall 03:59
to be a blackbird in the fall mind the water mark and nervous stall the darkest cloud in the sky the smallest rain drop that cloud ever cried to be the time it takes to blink half the energy it takes to sink the fastest man in the world the broken hearted boy and the weather girl to be a side note of a side note prepare for change and don your winter coat the softest stone in the sea the highest flying bird you can see i'm a blackbird in the fall i'm the melody of the mourning call the second man on the moon the words he spoke out loud but spoke too soon to be an afterthought of war oh lord, what am i for? oh lord, what are you for? the arrow and the ball point pen, oh when, oh when, oh when do you get off of work?

Old Dog 04:13
he wrote it off, he changed his name buried his dog in the woods in his backyard and he prayed that night not for mercy or to get what he wants but for what he deserves, and nothing more but, please, god, not anything more he wrote it off, he sold his stocks lit a cig and looked up at the sky, for once and he let it all go, let the rain come and soak through his clothes and set in his skin and rinse out his soul like a dirty sink and he took a drink oh, i'm an old dog with old legs but i'll outlive the year like i outlived the last one i have old tricks, although i have changed because an old heart knows that the winds don't stay and the seasons come and go he wrote it off, he had a drink he drove to the city that night with his windows down and his eyes lit up like a candle flame like a star in the hudson drowning its name and he slept in his car for six long nights six cold nights oh, i'm an old dog with old legs but i'll outlive the year like i outlived the last one i have old tricks, although i have changed because an old heart knows that the winds don't stay and the clouds decay as the world rotates and the willow waits like the river flows as autumn comes and goes

Lisa 08:07
my heart is all i ever spent it's not broke yet but boy is it bent i sold my body to the devil but i still can't pay my rent oh, lisa i wish that i had another i'd sell my body three times over it's not worth much to me anymore not anymore oh, lisa my heart has done it before sold my body like a whore i don't know why it's still poor is it me or what i am looking for? oh, lisa (chorus) don't you listen to a word oh lisa, oh lisa with your mona lisa smile you're a lion now so rise, beguile rise, lisa, rise you're a lion in my eyes i drove my car to kaaterskill thought that i would bury my feelings there i flew up towards the mountain top now there's a stone on poet's ledge oh, lisa i left my anger and guilt with a man in poughkeepsie i kept it up for way too long way too too long oh, lisa i miss the ceiling and the floor i miss my bedroom more and more and more what's this feeling good for anymore? is it me or what i am looking for? oh, lisa (chorus) i see words behind my eyelids they say that we'll meet again someday but if we don't i'll always keep your smile in the pockets of the pockets of my pants oh, lisa the world's only so very big it's not small but it's smaller than you'd think i'll be around, i'm always somewhere i'll always be somewhere i swear lisa, you're my lion, my star you're my lion and my star, yes you are i'm just as bad when we are apart i don't think that it's me no, i think it's just my lonely, lonely heart

Skittles 01:50
if your eyes were skittles they'd be the the green ones cause the green ones are my favorite type of skittle if goodbyes were jolly ranchers they'd be the purple ones cause the purple ones are the worst jolly rancher if hellos were candy bars they'd be butterfingers cause i really really really like them if my anger were a twizzler it'd be a twizzler cause twizzlers suck and i wish they didn't exist

Mucinex 01:17
i'm not writing this song for your sympathy i'm not playing these chords in hopes that you will hear them because in actuality i'm just sitting on my bed in my dorm room in my dorm room writing words on a sheet of paper that i used last night to remind myself not to forget what time to take my mucinex this song is not about you this song is not about you this song's about my mucinex what time to take my mucinex in the morning, tomorrow morning i guess

Angel 02:14
my breath's a quiver now as if twelve months was too brief a time since last fall hell, did august even come at all? dressed in silence but not silent yet if words could say the things i want to say then i would talk to you, i'd talk all god damn day your face, a sunspot glowing silhouette at the center of my vision when i close my eyes when i'm asleep's when i'm alive your smile shines like a burning sun i know i shouldn't stare, but i don't mind if that's the last thing that i see before i'm blind paraphrase and dye my simple mind define and make my words what you will because they don't mean too much to me i spend all my time now throwing paper planes like wishes in a well, i've thrown so many dimes that now i'm broke and now i'm out of time
