Up On The Roof

Sometimes these fantasies come true,
and now the whole thing misses me.
Held down by fishing wire and glue,
to be the best we couldn't be.

Up on the roof with the whole world at our feet...
Is this everything you thought it'd be?
What you waited for religiously,
just know I wouldn't hate you if you tried.

Old times make heroes out of fools,
now the whole thing misses me.
Right at the breaking point you knew,
this is the best you'd never be.

Up on the roof with the whole world at our feet...
Is this everything you thought it'd be?
What you waited for religiously,
just know I wouldn't hate you if you tried.

You lied.
Decide
To fight.
Try.
You might, decide it's right.

Is this everything you thought it'd be?
What you waited for religiously,
just know I wouldn't trade you for the world

Is this everything you thought it'd be?
The best things in the industry,
just know I wouldn't hate you if you tried

Suffragette City

(Hey man) oh leave me alone you know
(Hey man) oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta

This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place

(Hey man) my schooldays insane

(Hey man) Ah Henry, don't be unkind, go away

Oh, my Sufragette City, oh my Suffragette City
Oh, Suffragette
Suffragette!

Central Standard Time

cold october fall
at the outside of a vfw hall
i said i minded distance
but distance would define us
define us all
a tree in nichol's park
i carved a broken heart
i said i minded distance
but distance owned us from the very start
it's every song
there's dividing lines between east and standard time
so promise me
you'll still be mine
will this come between us
as i doubt all of the pages i pour out
when our doubts become regret
don't ever, don't ever forget
my only
you own me
if you'd only see

Close To Me

I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick,
I wish I'd stayed
Asleep today,
Thought this day would never end
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me

Just try to see in the dark,
Just try to make it work,
I feel the fear
Before you're here,
Make the shapes come much too close,
Pull my eyes out,
Hold my breath and wait,
'Til I shake

But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this,
I made myself so sick
I wished I'd stayed
Asleep today

Never thought this day would end,
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me,

But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream

Forgive And Forget

I think I've waited long enough
Our world was once forget-me-nots
and now I wait another year.
I need you here.

I think I've heard this one before,
but it's not you walking through my door.
And then I'll wait another year.
I need you here.

Don't bother it now, let sleepers lie.
Bygones have all gone by.
Forget what we fought for, hard as I might,
don't have the will to fight.

Forgive and forget whatever was said
because we're growing up by the hour.
I never would let it go on like it did...
All good things have endings.

Regret

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day It's the school exam and the kids have run away
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start

I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was upset you see Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger Now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart

A New Found Mass 2000

If I told you that I was thinking of moving east,
Would you save a place for me?
I'll come home...it's worse than I expected

Place in my heart
Home to the west
We'll watch
Same sunsets
When I'm down
I'll look east...

Lock my heart in a brass box
To New Found Mass, I'm breaking off...
This is my home!

I'd do anything for you, give you the world if I could
Is that what you want me to do?
Bridges and boundaries
Bringing me closer to you

Alec Eiffel

pioneer of aerodimnamics...

Impossible Outcomes

In the sky is the moon
This large yellow circle finds her in the mood.
In her eyes I can see it all.
A short plaid skirt, a white short sleeve shirt.
My dreams aren't premonitions,
because I'm dreaming of impossible outcomes.
I've tried to understand but I just don't understand
empty signposts seen through large windows.
Late one fall afternoon after school,
in the cool, cool suburban breeze of Louisville.
It's unaffordable.
It's unavoidable.
It's inevitable.
Our eyes, hearts and words are evidence
My dreams aren't premonitions
Because I'm dreaming of impossible outcomes
I've tried to understand but I just don't understand
Empty signposts seen through large windows

On With The Show

Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide
But we know how the story goes
With a six string knife and his streetwise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew all their dreams would come true

See Frankie was fast, he was too fast to know
He wouldn't go slow until his lethal dose
And she knows he'd finally come too close

Well on with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no
Well on with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no

He was bad he was never good
But one thing that he understood
And she knew all these lies would come true
The time has come and he paid his dues
And Suzie finally got the news
She always knew this day would come soon

Well it's on with the show, going on with the show come on baby no no no
Going on with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no

Stopped on a dime with a switchblade knife
Some damn punk went and took Frankie's life
And she knew she'd have to pull through
Broken down with his broken dreams
With a wink of an eye he said listen to me
You must go on with the show

On with the show going on with the show, come on baby no no no
On with the show going on with the show, come on baby no no no
On with the show, going on with the show, come on baby no no no
Ooo baby!

Ten Minutes

Ten minutes to downtown, is ten minutes too far.
When my friends all say I'm crazy,
maybe I'm being selfish.
Maybe I'm just scared.
Don't be gone when I get home...I need you there.
If I had to explain it
I wouldn't know where to start.
It's like you're falling in love while i just fall apart.
Ten minutes to downtown is ten minutes too far
when my heart is saying you're crazy.
Maybe things are getting better...
Maybe things aren't so bad.
Don't be gone when I get home...
you're all I have.
If I had to explain it,
I wouldn't know where to start.
It's like you're falling in love while I just fall apart.
Pockets empty,
How can you tell me that everything will work out.
a pointless fight when you're always right.
Everything will work out.
Sometimes I miss you more whenever I'm at home.
I've been home all summer...
Now I'm leaving you alone.
Pockets empty.
How can you tell me that everything will work out...
a pointless fight when you're always right.
Everything will work out

Anne Arbour

Sooner or later more,
These words to paper pour.
Compose apologies, To bring you back to me.
What words were written for…
One girl whose pages tore.
I’ll bet you never knew, With a letter came a fool for you.
She says she’d worked it out,
This room’s not big enough for two.
He swears she’d work his words out, If she ever knew.
How do I find her, Bearing my heart in hand.
Last winter, Anne Arbour Was all I had.
I still wear your heart around my throat
I still wear your heart around my throat
With barely the air not to choke.
Never, not ever again.
I finally replaced every promise you’ve taken away.
Now that it’s over, I’m older and colder this way.
I finally replaced every promise you’ve taken away.
How do I find her, Bearing my heart in my hand.
Last winter, Anne Arbour was all I had.

Burned Bridges

I've met that point in my life.
Want came to need.
Burn these fields of corn, that surround.
My harvest gone at the price of maturity.
But these remains I've left to rot will be resurrected again and again
by the next generation of children who want to change minds
with the stain on hand.
But, it's deeper than this, I'm not the only one who sees, it lies in diversity;
acceptance to a degree, only to a degree.
The fire that once occupied my eyes has spread to destroy this world
I have grown. You have nothing new to scream beyond your fields
and not a second of patience to learn from me the same.
This time I harvest the crops of my past.
As far as the demigods are concerned, I've sold myself out just the same.
I've burned bridges to feign brothers.
Brothers of nothing more than a simple label.
So now, I'm in control after all, for myself I prove I still am.
But within these fields, they'll say I never was

I'm A Loner Dottie, A Rebel

Come tomorrow I'll be on my way back home.
In the morning call from a roadside telephone.

One night doesn't mean the rest of my life.
If I go, it's not impossible.
but possible is probably wrong.
So let go, oh, cause I'm afraid to try.
Keep my hands by my side.

I won't come back,
I hope someday you'll understand.
wanna try and make it right,
don't know if I can!
Last night, everything was right the rain
was gone.
One summer night's the only time we've
known.
So shut your eyes.
When you wake up I'll be gone.
When you wake up I'll be gone.

One night doesn't mean the rest of my life.
If I go it's not impossible
but possible, is probably wrong.
So let go, oh, cause I'm afraid to try!

Shorty

It's certainly true,
there's better things to do
And though I don't know everything
I wouldn't tell you anything if I did.
The last time I saw you act like this
We were kids.
The last time I saw you act like this
We were kids.

What am I to do?
My heart goes out to you.
And though I don't know everything
I wouldn't tell you anything if I did.
Over reacting, over again...
Just between friends.

What am I to do?
I won't come between you two.
(What was I to do?)
I gave it.
(What was I to say?)
I gave it all I could.
(How was I to know?)
I hope that you, you never find another friend like me.

The Breathing Method

Made a grave mistake
An all too common place
not the first time back again
it's obvious the risks
outweigh the benefits
should have used our heads
couldn't happen to me
no
there's no safe hiding place in thinking you're immune
you're not immune
watch advantages pass
abrasive, difficult regret
I was
can you conceive that I hate you
I can barely make the rent
you are
that a word as strong as hate can describe the way I feel
we were
and in the end there is another
nothing
a product of you
but you come back fine
you came back
nothing at all
I won't hide or turn back
I'll take responsible
I won't let mine be a mistake
