Come See My Friends

Come see my friends when they're all dolled up
Come see my friends they got real great stuff
Cameras on them where ever they go
What they do they want you to know
Come see my friends they're so sweet
They wear leather pants but they don't eat me
Come see my friends whoever you are
Their dogs' own mansions you live in your car
Come see my friends
They don't have enough
Come see my friends
The don't think enough
Come see my friends who rule what they see
All my friends do what they please
Wear tennis bracelets and do Maxim spreads
All my friends got lots of bread
Come see my friends they're begging you
They'll fade away without you
Come see my friends if you can
Listen to that they're playing her jam.
Come see my friends
They don't have enough
Come see my friends
The don't think enough
Where you going when you're walking walking?
Don't you know you have nowhere else to go
What you saying when you're talking talking?
Don't you know that you can't say no?
Come see my friends
They got real great stuff
Coem see my friends
They drink too much
Come see my friends
They don't think enough
Come see my friends
They're not so tough.

There's something in the air tonight
Something makes me feel not right
My head gets numb my hands get weak
I have to pull over and I can barely speak
My back is sweating my heart races
I can make out voices but not faces
There's something in the air tonight
There's going to be a beating tonight
And I don't know at all why I get this way...especially today
I don't understand why it's treating me this way...not today
On Saturday we set sail at noon
Never ever makes jokes when is too soon
There are bubbles where my bones should be
My chest is carved out I cannot breathe
I'm afraid that things aren't what they seem
Walking on marshmallows inside of a dream
On Saturday we set sail at noon
Never ever make jokes inside a vacuum.
And I don't know at all why I get this way...especially today
I don't understand why it's treating me this way...not today
You tell me these stories I find them gory
You’re drunk and lonely You don’t know me
I wanted to see you But I could never free you
You’re drunk and lonely and I don’t know me.
And I don't know at all why I get this way...especially today
I don't understand why it's treating me this way...not today
Where you see the future I can only see torture...okay?
But you know that I love you, I put no one above you...not today
or any other day.

Now You Know

Now you know, Kid.
Everyone cheats, kid. Everyone hurts you, kid.
Everyone cuts corners on you.
Now you know, kid.
Everyone lies, kid. Everyone deceives, kid.
Everyone manipulates you.
When you were born, it was quite a thing
The nurses gathered around, you were a tiny perfect king
Perched on your throne in that noisy nursery
Your kingdom lay before you, you ruled all that you could see.
They took your hand and led you to school
And there you learned to play by their rules
The ones there that hate spit in your face
Laugh and they sneer but it’s the whole human race
The do-gooders lie because this is as good as it gets
Time marches on and one day you’ll forget
The hurting, the pain make you who you are
Get over yourself no one leaves without a scar

Deal

Got 40 year old bachelors doing awful things up there.
Sure you can probably get a better deal somewhere.
Tomorrow of course they’ll be another story told
Tomorrow of course they’ll be another story sold
But they call on the phone, you don’t like their tone
This car has no wheel, you’re senses reel
Your blood’s turned to stone, you’re all alone
These feelings are real, we’ll cut a deal
You booked two one nighters to pay for your trip
The governor’s assistant just let the details slip
There’s three days to go so please relax
Your story’s sound if we leave out the facts
But they call on the phone, you don’t like their tone
This car has no wheel, you’re senses reel
Your blood’s turned to stone, you’re all alone
These feelings are real, we’ll cut a deal

Like a Fish

I’m like a fish, I have no feelings
My soul’s clear as this water
That I’m swimming through
I’m like a fish I have no feelings
When it comes to you
I’m like a star, shinning so far away
Exploding in the distance
If you only knew
I’m like a star and I’m so far
Away from you
Please keep all those things I gave you my friend
I’d rather live without them than to see you in my life again
I’m like a fish, I couldn’t ask for more now
They got me a fancy castle
A plastic treasure chest too
I’m like a fish I have no feelings
When it comes to you
I’m like a fish and I’m so happy
Now we’re through

What are you doing in my city? What have you done to my town?
You know another time in this place man you would be nothing but a clown
Your wear your irony on your shirt sleeves yeah sincerely is doom
You'd like to go out to the darkened bar but you are too cool for that room...too cool for that room
You take over some slums and gentrify them and all of that
But you're in America, asshole, it's an apartment not a flat
You have a tweed jacket with leather elbows that you wear to a pool
And you burned you mouth badly on the pizza because you ate it before it was cool...yeah before it was cool
You don't like digital man, scoring and storing vinyl is your dream
You say you don't like rivers because you consider them too mainstream
Wearing clark kent glasses, ironic tees and skinny jeans
You want to sleep with something called Zooey Daschenal I don't know what that means...I don't know what those words mean.

I have trouble with things such as this
Your tattooed chest and your tattooed wrist
Haven’t been the same since you came around
And my knees are stuck to the ground
We hit a rough patch back in the fall
I’m numb to it it’s your you call
I thought we’d get out of this town
I carved my flesh to give them their pound
Spanish Churches Italian mob You can’t be something that you’re not
Worlds collided I’ve lost all hope He took the money left me with the dope
I have trouble with things such as this
Your deep dark eyes and your broken wrist
From the bridge I watch them sail to sea
I’ve got another place I have to be
And though you still can turn me on
There once was a love there but now it’s gone
I know a guy who knows some guys
We’ll do this deal then say our goodbyes
Crooked crosses, crown of thorns You can’t help where you’re born
You let me down you hid the knife Some things you can’t pay for with your life
I have trouble with things such as this
Your quirky hats and your faithless kiss
I went out sailing on Sunset lake
You were a bad decision I had to make
The horse is drowning a killer goes free I can’t explain what’s happening to me
You’ve too much baggage to come aboard I left you standing on the shore
I got some stitches in my leg I’ll write you once we make it to Winnipeg
They got the Jets back it won’t be so bad You’re my favorite I never had

Spider Bite
07:53

Not everything is for sale. Not everything has a price
You’d like to be friends. You’d like to make nice
You want to negotiate. But you got nothing I want
Yeah, you have nothing I need. Not a single thing
You’d come over late. Yet have to nothing to bring
You want to fill me with joy. But you got nothing I want
Yeah but I’ll be there when the deal goes down
Shut your mouth don’t make a sound
Only one thing wrong tonight
I’ve got a spider bite
There’s no way to know, there’s no smoking gun
Your billions of dollars bring you back to square one
You want to make me happy but you got nothing I want
Yeah but I’ll be there when the deal goes down
Shut your mouth don’t make a sound
Only one thing wrong tonight
I’ve got a spider bite
Your eyes tell the truth. A wink is as good a nod
I’ve read it somewhere no one makes a fool of God
You want to show me the world but you’ve got nothing I want
Yeah but I’ll be there when the deal goes down
Shut your mouth don’t make a sound
Only one thing wrong tonight
I’ve got a spider bite
Once you’re gone you should just stay away
