Franny
04:10
|
|||
hot on the heels of a breakdown
he wants me to call him holden
I want to be franny
dig my heels in the dancefloor
but when I move it's just too slow
I can cease to speak and swear to fade away
take the oath for the length of another day
dig my heels in the dancefloor
but it just leaves me at the door
I batter books with my barren heart
the lost pursuit that I stop and start
I'm alone, wandering alone
heaven help her now or she'll run away
a girl like that won't exist for another day
hot on the heels of a breakdown
he wants me to call him holden
I want to be franny
walk right into the backroom
you've got a hip new place to dwell
you can try to stop yourself from dreaming
a hip new way might be deceiving
walk right into the backroom
I didn't jump too far I fell
you can try to stop yourself from dreaming
a hip new way might be deceiving
I must own up to some things
I move on in doomed velocity
the guess is right and it convinces me

tuesday is sleeping
ash afraid of the outdoors
luna is creeping
on the kitchen floor
mice with umbrellas
wake me out of my dream
try to discover
just what does it mean
did you know that there was time to kill
and time to carry on?
we don't even have to say our names
you think that's wonderful, don't you?
you were standing there
sorry in the pouring rain
you shouldn't be ashamed
so I'm giving up now
my friends don't know
don't care
don't dare to ask

they ask, "are you happy here?"
so young, no love
industrial parked and so sincere
destined by your own design
do you want the valentine?
they saw you, and meant to
to try to rearrange your world
in lines, in black and white
they ask, "are you happy here?"
seventeen, I was seventeen
can't believe it took this long
music makes me think of you
centuries dip and end for you
they start anew
there's a panic in this town
just to carve out who we are
all the progress in our rooms
I am native here
I am the news here

Yr Version of Cool
03:38
|
|||
I'd follow you most anywhere
I'll wear your badge and cut my hair
I'm sick inside but they don't care
it's not so hard now
watch the mods shake their knees
bounce a soul for pedigree
all alone shoot those looks at me
count on,
that it will happen in its own strange way
I'm tired of wanting what I don't have
fuck you for flaunting your version of cool
he wants the birthday girl wrapped in his hand
but it will happen in its own strange way
girls with glasses rule the bar
strike their matches on a moving car
"and if I had an acoustic guitar"
well, you know
I watch the future in a chair
in a pavilion at the world's fair
pop songs come when the peasants care
I hope that it will happen in its own strange way
I'm tired of wanting what I don't have
fuck you for flaunting your version of cool
you want the birthday girl wrapped in your hand
when it will happen in its own strange way
I'm tired of wanting what I don't have
fuck you for flaunting your version of cool
she has the birthday girl wrapped in her hand
but it will happen in its own strange way

Super-8
03:56
|

in your leopard skin
doesn't matter where he's been
take a busride of pity, out of this city
sad eyes out windows
in your wedding dress
you shouldn't settle for less
take her hand whiles she's asking, forever lasting
down the aisle
hey, wait
I saw you on the super-8
a girl in a dream
a boy and a string of lights
hey, wait
I'm thinking of myself
and the impression I make
when you don't let me take my time
with a wrecking ball
they're gonna tear down the mall
send the sears tower crashing
while kids are ashing
outside the arcade
on the other coast
you talk about me the most
show them pictures and letters
of where it is better
here on long island
hey, wait
I saw you on the super-8
a girl in a dream
a girl looking clean and nice
hey, wait
the way you look
you make it so it's hard to say
if there's really a way at all

Uninvited
04:40
|
|||
I know that I'm uninvited
I believe alliances can shift
back to the place where we started
a girl with a song
and a boy with a longing to sing
asleep in your room
should I go in?
it's something to do
the bravest thing I ever did
was to agree to go nowhere, tonight
but I'm tired now
he pushes her from the sofa
she grabs his feet on the floor
it's cruel of you to make me a witness
I draw charts from afar
and a map with a star on your house
asleep in your room
should be going
there's nothing to do
the bravest thing I ever did
was to agree to go nowhere, tonight
but I'm tired now
I just want to exit in style
my friends count the days until I give up
my friends count the days until I'm gone

what went through your mind
and how did you find being made unkind?
what was that they said?
"pour drinks through his head, can't believe he's not dead"
you used to be so content and serene
I can't believe that was only just last week
now everyone can see that you're just angry and mean
and you claim that you are more than a freak
what went through your mind
all of the time you were standing there?
"he's not the same gage, but now he's enjoying being all the rage"
you used to be so content and serene
I can't believe that was only just last week
now everyone can see that you're just angry and mean
and you claim that you are more than a freak
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me
than have a frontal lobotomy
strength through joy he had a car made out of soy
and he wants to be just like you and me
you used to be so content and serene
I can't believe that was only just last week
now everyone can see that you're just angry and mean
and you claim that you are more than a freak

Gold Monte Carlo
04:26
|

a vicious, a garish
a moody neighborhood
she makes a banner with her hair
he waits in shadows
like he knows he should
the street's a history of rain
catch a wave and you can go
set the world ablaze in his monte carlo
it's all you
a grease smear, a glass front
a nylon alphabet
a bluejean button is undone
a red matchhead catches
and the scene is set
sick mermaids sing of what they've sung
catch a wave and you can go
set the world ablaze in his monte carlo
it's all you
in the seconds between your closing eyes
I slept a sleep of rainwashed alleys
and goldenlit bars
where carmine cushions cover the oak
and names ring off brass
a fur-lined life grew between us
between the ocean mouth
of a drowned face
chameleon, daffodil
I hold your hand

California
03:32
|
|||
you say goodbye, in the saddest way
you say, say say goodbye in the saddest way
california, seems like another planet
you never spoke that word before, before today
and what I want you to know
is that we want you here
with your eyes full of pinballs
and your mouth full of beer
we'll call you the saddest one
throw pennies in the well and wish away
you were the one,
the one of cobwebs and keyholes
you wore bluejeans and tees and nothing else

Befriending Darcy
01:51
|
|||
call me crazy it's the trend
I've come and gone but never left
but I'm so glad that your my friend
we've spent our time in petty theft
befriending darcy
I want to know your name
I have seen you there
dancing in lamplight
I want to know your name
we should run and hide
where they won't find us
cause when they do it will only remind us
that soon we will leave and sleep in beds
where young girls grieve and lose their heads
call me crazy it's no curse
to be sad and sane is surely worse
we spent the party on the porch
we fell through the cracks
with strange boys' hands on our backs

The Love of My Life
02:44
|

tongue to toe
you should know
in your heart they'll tell you anything
by your side
this moment's too wide
broken heart they'll tell you anything
I would lie just to see you
hold your face to hide the sun
cause you're not looking when I try
I wonder why
it seems like there's no place to be
and no one is keeping track of me
the sickly me
who hates it all
broke my heart and told you everything
loneliness, like a sore
like a cancer, can't smile at the show

Slice Me on Cheerios
04:09
|
|||
if everything ends
and we can no longer be friends
I need a favor from you
and this is what I want you to do
so when you're ready to let me know
promise me you'll slice me on cheerios
and then I'll prepare myself to die
and I won't even question you why
this might seem a strange request
but you know I loved you best
so when you're ready to let me know
remember to slice me on cheerios
and one day you'll feel all alone
as you sit and stare into your bowl
you know it's been my life's pursuit
to emulate a piece of fruit

Happy Morbid
03:12
|
|||
no one's keeping track of me
and I mind
no one falls aside
or crawls inside to see
and they keep on taking me back
to where I don't want to be at all
go your own way
this living room's a place of doom
piles of smiles
go your own way
they'll hang on your heels
straight for the door
|

Learn to Say Goodnight
03:18
|
|||
they know your name
they know your face
your evil eye and tongue
unabashedly young
and when you go
you shoot the lights
you blow us all to bits
learn to say goodnight
I've seen your face
there's not a place in this town
where your dreams won't abound
learn to say goodnight

Intrigue and Division
03:37
|
|||
I wonder where the world was then
the intrigue and division
I was there but I was missed
we all got pretty only some were kissed
it's all I find that takes this story
and makes it more than mine
they can dance and we will write
hand them the script and slip out of sight
speak my dreams and say them right
they can dance and we will write
even though it's gone
I know I still think out it
even though it's wrong
I know I still think about it
hard on myself it's a typical day
