I fought the angels here today
Hope my defeat will end this play
I only have myself to blame
Everybody knows that
Softly softly wins the game

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Knew all the time that they came out
Wish I could have them disallowed
Everybody knows that
We say things we do not mean
Everybody knows that
We say things that are unclean

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Run conversations in my head
Write my own scripts to dish the dread
And if I speak out loud
I will have to change the rules
For speaking out of bounds
If it's practiced by a fool

Trust
I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend
So lend me an ear to lean upon
To speak to and learn my speaking form

To all that came before me
To all that left their mark
To all that tried and failed so
To all that now are gone
I see myself in your words
I see you in my smile
Your wisdom's like a lighthouse
that guides me when I'm lost

I find myself at these crossroads, broken dreams
and I don't know what tomorrow might bring

I'm like a half of clay
that you molded with your hands
Raised me without shadows
and baptized me in the light
To those that came before me
I know I'll see you soon
And like a distant star in the night
I'm reaching out for you

I find myself at these crossroads, broken dreams
and I don't know what tomorrow might bring

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone?
Oh, it has begun
Oh dear, you look so lost
Eyes are red and tears are shed
Some world you must have crossed

You said, You don't know me
You don't even care
Oh yeah
She said, you don't know me
You don't wear my chains
Oh yeah - yeah

The essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts cross an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you

You said, You don't know me
You don't even care
Oh yeah
She said, you don't know me
You don't wear my chains
Oh yeah

She said, I think I'm going to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
No one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
I'll fly 'em out to Spain

I think I'm going to Boston
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of the sunset
Here it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice
Oh yeah

Boston... no one knows my name

Untie me, I've set my bow
The train is getting way too loud
I gotta leave here my girl
Get on with my lonely life

Just leave the ring on the rail
For the wheels to nullify

Until this turn in my head
Let you stay and you paid no rent
I spent twelve long months on the lam

That's enough sitting on the fence
For the fear of breaking dams

I find a fatal flaw
In the logic of love
And go out of my head

You love a sinking stone
That'll never elope
So get used to used to the lonesome
Girl, you must atone some
Don't leave me no phone number there

It took me all of the year
To put the poison pill to your ear
But now I stand on honest ground, on honest ground

You want to fight for this love
But honey you cannot wrestle a dove
So baby it's clear

You want to jump and dance
But you sat on your hands
And lost your only chance

Go back to your hometown
Get your feet on the ground
And stop floating around

I find a fatal flaw
In the logic of love
And go out of my head

You love a sinking stone
That'll never elope
So get used to used to the lonesome
Girl, you must atone some
Don't leave me no phone number there

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (MP3)

I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Probably.

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice... that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you think you are?
Hahaha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably.

Elliott Smith - Waltz #2 (MP3)

first the mic, then a half cigarette
singing cathy's clown
that's the man that she's married to now
that's the girl that he takes around town
she appears composed, so she is, i suppose
who can really tell?
she shows no emotion at all
stares into space like a dead china doll
i'm never gonna know you now,
but i'm gonna love you anyhow

now she's done and they're calling someone
such a familiar name
i'm so glad that my memory's remote
'cause i'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
here it is, the revenge to the tune,
"you're no good, you're no good, you're no good, you're no good"
can't you tell that it's well understood?

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

i'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on
i'm tired, i'm tired.

looking out on the substitute scene
still going strong
XO, mom
it's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong
tell mr. man with impossible plans to just leave me alone
in the place where i make no mistakes
in the place where i have what it takes

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

Fountains of Wayne - Mexican Wine (MP3)

He was killed by a cellular phone explosion
They scattered his ashes across the ocean
The water was used to make baby lotion
The wheels of promotion were set into motion

But the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of mexican wine

She lived alone in a small apartment
Across the street from the health department
She left her pills in the glove compartment
That was the afternoon her heart went

I used to fly for United Airlines
Then I got fired for reading high times
License expired in almost no time
Now I'm retired and I think that's fine

Think I'll have another glass of mexican wine
Won't you have another glass of mexican wine ?
