	2.people.blues
	pay me back in nickels and i'll pay you back in hell i may be a child of God but i am not much else you say you've gotten used to the pain of doing less well if thats the case don't tell me there's little worse to confess "i was just a child then now im only a man" ive got some silly issues and not much more than that ill use the broken dishes ill stride along the wire but your absurd celebrity is more than i desire kick in the television torch market-line magazines making kings of fools and a fool out of me pass me all your glitches i'll wash them to the seas we will live like asses kissing up to machines
	.
	3.silent.streets
	i left my girl in the early morning long before it broke i made out for the lonely ocean through the morning smoke walked down silent streets passed the hanging meats i wiped the window clean, looked inside couldnt help but grieve saw some poor pig skinned alive glad it wasnt me i heard the foghorn's calls echoed off the crumbling walls i ran into some old friends but they dont know me now the world was turning round in space and i just stopped somehow i stood of stone white clay as they slowly walked away i know more now than i wanted about you since you've been dead i hope by God you'd taken back all those things you said and was that really you back again, long overdue
	.
	4.midnight.moon
	i saw my lover it must have been a dream i buried her last autumn on the eve of halloween why cant she let me be why must she stick around she cant be anywhere but lying underground i saw my mother she stopped me on the road "i see it in your eyes, son, the devil's got your soul" jesus forgive me im sorry for what ive done but if she'd done him again lord she wouldn't be the only one i'd've taken out everyone i'd've shut you out danced upon their bodies and made the devil proud it was her or this town lord who should have i done in? could've taken myself and left my soul soaked with sin and then who would've prayed for me? and had some sympathy? if i left my only darling to deal with the grief? i saw my lover lying in her tomb i left her last autumn under the midnight moon

	5.dead.star
	artifacts of egyptian cats paid for with their skin you can pay me off in anything just dont let me back in im a carnivore in a carnival of gin sleeping devil wake me up fill me with alcohol by the jar cause im fast asleep and i need a drink so drag me down to the bar im the reciprocal of an eliptical dead star

	7.waiting.at.the.station
	she stood waiting at the station for the evening train to arrive holding tightly to the railings sweeping the hair from her eyes she noticed the smoke in the distance on the horizon a single white light carrying her dress she ran down the tracks to where we'd begun to unload i stepped out and her eyes didn't blink and i felt my insides explode she was waiting for another man who happened to be right behind me i hung my head down and shut my eyes and tried my best to breath i grabbed the letters from my coat pocket she'd written me every other day and let them fall from my trembling hands and watched them float away i made my way far from the station and heard that whistle sound
	.
	8.guilt.tripping*
	say that you watched me falling down and you didnt stop to think to pull me off the ground cause i know it's the awful truth but i want to hear it from you and i know that you had much better things to do im not trying to guilt trip you i just want you to know that i always knew that somewhere else with someone else you were laughing at me and you didnt care that i could always see your fingers on me * contains sample from "Trip to Lullaby Land" by Kay Lande

	9.life.on.the.moon
	for days tossed and loves lost i lock up in my room in summertime the hills we climbed im still loved by the moon i wanted to tell you so many things i jump out of my shell each time the telephone rings i should move and live on the moon where its still open and free and nothing can hold me down like gravity i want to wake up under the stars i want to see our world from a far
	.
	10.i.hear.your.name
	don't you think it's time that i get going i've been here so long i forgot why i came once more, please not again everywhere i go i hear your name i've tried so hard to leave you darling i've tried so hard but it's all the same everytime, it's all in vain cause everywhere i go i hear your name i may die trying to stop my heart from drowning like the fool drinking the rain till i do you've won this game every time i go i feel the pain im crawling round and round im crawling round
