PLEASE GIVE ME I walk the streets searching for somebody And that somebody has no name I walk the streets when I’m sleeping When I’m sleeping is when I feel most awake She has hair that sticks out everywhere When she wears a ponytail and she just woke up I warned her that I am just another poor Man who has nothing to his name First snow fall of the season Gives me the feeling that I’m just a thought Like a snowflake that just never lands So I put on my suit as she puts on her makeup Please give me what you don’t need And I will try and do what I can with it I will turn the night into day again If you say again that you feel like you’re home She walks the street searching for somebody And that somebody isn’t me but her thoughts Will change just like the leaves did So I’ll put on my suit as she puts on her makeup

Cucumbers 02:26
CUCUMBERS Verse Cold as cucumbers in July Outfits and tangerines to boot What goes around comes around What goes around comes around And you’re holding your grace as an apple pie Baked fresh with morning Cina-man is here The morning man The morning ----Man has come to tell us that You havn't found your own ground Well you havn't found your social ground But now the time is here The morning man The morning has come with new, I... Chorus Well, You had your hands on My face Me, wasted from your knees and embrace eye to eye Captured in my own self-esteem Me, Wasted from the blood in my finger tips New Ideas Verse Hot as cucumbers in the glow Apples and oranges too What goes around comes around What goes around comes around And your holding your grace as an apple pie Baked fresh with the morning Cigarette is here The morning man The morning man has come to tell us that You havn't found your own ground You havn't found your social ground But now the time is here The morning man The morning has come with new I... Chorus Well, You had your hands on My face Me, wasted from your knees and embrace eye to eye Captured in my own self-esteem Me, Wasted from the blood in my finger tips-----

Glass Brick 02:56
GLASS BRICK I broke my finger nail again Happens every time I lift And she said I lift you out these city walls To bring my spirits from these bricks And she said Glass brick I’ve become You make a novice out of me And she said Kitchen bound baby I’ll sweat my arms to shame I said give my teeth a rest And thats all I needed Give my teeth a rest And thats all I needed Well city bound baby I’ll sweat my arms to shame ill say Give my teeth a rest And thats all I needed Glass made process And thats all I needed

Ballad 04:23
BALLAD I asked for the first kiss Now I’m never gonna ask again Because I know So come, take a shot with Ralphie The problem is still standing At least we’re not alone Faded hand tattoo you’re cuter than Any button on the prettiest blouse And I don’t know what to say I’m a crack addict with his drugs taken away And you love to dance, But I only know slow songs because my heart is a mess And I shouldn’t have gone so far away Because I met someone who looks exactly like you She asked for my hand I hope you understand And she’s coming to live in our house With skin like yours, You don’t have to worry about getting burned And you’re so fair, That even your hair knows that I am torn Faded hand tattoo I’m a crack addict With his drugs taken away And even when I don’t know what to say You tell me to chill out and just go with the flow And I might move to Mexico Or I might just stay here

FLUORESCENT LIGHT Her hands were warm as I grew bolder I never seen a clean room this dirty And they’re playing things on the television That I only watch on my own T.V I told her I was locked before in a room Just like this and they always take all my money Without leaving a single kiss But I still want you to make up a story About how you are on the top of a list To get into school I love it when you make me your fool The fluorescent sign outside says open The ATM machine inside has a four dollar charge Well it must be broken And be sure to use the unscented baby lotion She was mediocre, average at best But for an extra twenty dollars, she said that I could see the rest Well, Isn’t that a good deal Isn’t that a bargain But I should have only paid ten Because the bottom half was a man And just as I was able She climbed down off the table And said your time is up Your time is over

Daisies 02:24
DAISES Man, I’ve sold everything Countries left from the bottom of my toes And things will find their way Wasting bugs in a very special way These flowers are doors Find em at the bottom Waiting for the promises Leaving out the prominence Meeting in the middle for the wine For the lives in the soul Dark men smoke cigs Make em happy Oh oh oh oh Leave the daisies there Open up my door hanging with my floor Quiet the man I’ve been With flowers in my hand Man, she has all the news Beating eyes giving every single Clue away its all okay Being pals in a gloom and spit cascade

THEIF ON THE MOON My friend thief is an honest crook He told me the only way to be is paid I found the surest way I could You sit here in your klepto ways Put all your stars back Thief on the moon Remember to put your planets back Thief on the moon Tell the universe to get lost Thief on the moon Wisen up and get real straight Thief on the moon My friend thief he’s honestly I told him the only to be is fair He found the surest way to do You sit here in your klepto ways You sit here self assured

WENT TO THE PARK You weren’t allowed out but you are now That you’re here The space shuttle shouts “Hey darling” Won’t you come near You’re telling me stuff about things And I don’t care We are about to black out, but we can’t Because we fear Your hair was bleached once But your roots are showing When I talk to you I don’t want others known’ Because I’m ashamed that I love Bad bitches that’s my problem We went to the park And we went for a walk to the pier Despite common fright I was washing away listening away

Maggie 04:04
Maggie, your boyfriend is lame Doesn’t like to play the same games That you did in the mall Maggie, your last name says it all Same thing that happens when I fall In love with girls like you I warned you not to play games because you’ll fail My defence is hard as nails I know what to do with girls like you I’ve had a few My Dreams always come true Because I do exactly what I want to So smile, you’re going to be here for awhile You’re tied to my chair Did I tell you I liked your hair Breath, stop crying and trying to leave I just gotta tell you something Maggie, I haven’t gone insane if I did You’re to blame now, stop crying Maggie, bend me your ear I’m so glad you are here Now, ask me about my day And I can’t hear what you’re saying When you use that tone All I wanted to do is talk to you on the phone But I don’t mind I don’t care because now you know

Concerta 03:41
CONCERTA I was feeling alright after a couple of vodka sprites She’s the type of girl that makes me Want to smoke these cigarettes and Think about way I always do things that I know that I will regret I’m becoming concerned about The amount of Concerta that I took this week I’m homesick for the coast And the girl I miss the most I’m coming home soon It’s not bringing me up quick enough Or bringing me out of my slump so Call your friend hurry before the Darkness settles in And I’m calling from a payphone The only number that is free I told them that I’ve done something wrong And they gotta come pick up me I was feeling alright after a couple of vodka sprites I was feeling alright after a couple of vodka sprites What the hell have I done? I didn’t mean to hurt anyone What the hell have I done? I didn’t mean to hurt anyone But Me
