You, You, You. You in the front, middle, and back of my brain. Looming thunderstorm, Ruining my parade. You, You, You. In a melody I thought my own The way I turn a phrase, A subtle undertone. And isn't that like you? Just like you. It's true. Wishes, wishes made on planes I thought were stars They blink and they fade Like this love of ours. Highway, lonesome highway Goddamn Nebraska And Goddamn you. I'm always surprised. For the life of my I can't say why. Go now, I know you know how. You've done it so many times before. Love is forever But time's more clever I'll guess I'll see you around. And isn't that like you. Just like you. It's true.

Consume 03:56
Well, I feel your absence Breathing hard on my neck And I want you so badly, Pride is of no consequence. If you could just call me And tell me I'm not alone But you're busy. I understand so I'll sleep By the phone. And I miss you And I'm sorry, I'm aware of my mistake. If you miss me, Raise a glass to my mortal soul I am sure you will ruin me. I am sure you will consume me. I feel I have aged Five years in three days And what I've seen won't change No matter how many songs I sing. And what is granted Cannot be taken. What is granted cannot be taken And I gave to you. I allowed you to. And I miss you And I'm sorry, I'm aware of my mistake. If you miss me, Raise a glass to my mortal soul I am sure you will ruin me. I am sure you will consume me.

Aren't you bright today? I had to look away. And forever doesn't scare me like it used to do. Not like it used to. I am to the moon, Straightaway to the moon. And the green and the twilight, oh, The whispering twilight. Oh, the nearness of you. I have tried to be more careful. Seems I've become more fragile over the years. And though this is easy, Naturally detrimental I am hot with the need Just to kiss you, to love you, to be near you To know you, to know you, to know Is this one of those dreams? My life projected on a drive-in movie screen And the moonlight colors your eyes just so. And I could not love you more.

City Oh! 03:38
I drink too much every time that I come here Something 'bout the atmosphere. It's a whole ball of awkward I didn't realize or recognize before. My job it is suicide and I think of something else The highest priced bottle on the highest shelf. I cut out the skyline With it's unfinished face And I damn myself to this place. Let it go as it came Tomorrow everything can change. Let it go as it came. The traffic sings my name. I don't care what you think of me My life's been bought by the company. Repackaged, resold, expiration date extended Like a Twinkie after a nuclear war. And now you say you've started hearing things Phantom dogs and telephone rings It's crazy how normal crazy can feel. But if you're looking for sympathy, You won't find it here. This isn't a job, oh no. It's a career. Let it go as it came Tomorrow everything can change. Let it go as it came. The traffic sings my name.

FBS 04:07
I'm living in the basement of the Universe A Transcendental State, I thought at first Now I realize it's just the basement of the Universe Stuck like a piece of gum to the bottom of my purse. And it's all for the Good. Oh, it's good, yeah, it's good Oh, it's so good. Light and dark mixing into mud. I finally understand. So what are your intentions or shall I assume? No one wants to be the only asshole in the room. Your only purpose is to prophetize my doom So, of course, I love you. And it's all for the Good. Oh, it's good, yeah, it's good Oh, it's so good. Light and dark mixing into mud. I finally understand. It's a razor thin line between chance, coincidence, And circumstance. If all we are is just a glance Well, I'll take that. A basement is no place for romance anyway And I just can't be made to sit through This nonsense one more day When it's all for the Good. Oh, it's good, yeah, it's good Oh, it's so good. Light and dark mixing into mud. I finally understand.
