Take me to the shore
And wrap me in a blind tomorrow
I won’t fight no more
And I won’t scream
Maybe we’ll be washed away
Maybe I just need a holiday

This time we’ll get
A room with a view and a velvet painting
And this time we’ll stay inside
Until the lights go down
Over the palm trees and the sand

Buy me the blue sky
And wrap me in clouds of blasphemy
In the end I won’t ask why
You can do what you want with me
Maybe we’ll be thrown away
Maybe we just need a holiday

This time we’ll get
A room with a view and a velvet painting
And this time we’ll stay inside
Until the lights come up
And everything’s vermilion

Take me to the shore
And throw me into the water
I won’t fight no more
No, I won’t say a thing

This time we’ll get
A room with a view and a velvet painting
And this time we’ll stay inside
Until the lights come up
And everything’s vermilion

Every Name Is My Name
I made a movie about the end of the world
It was 12 seconds long and it didn’t have a plot
It just happens
And that’s why it’s in black and white
The characters don’t talk or move around
They just stare up at the sky, frozen
And the light, the light is numb, the light is off
The light is just a thumb nail sketch of God
God…
Somewhere, someone is crying
The camera sweeps over a desolate street
Holding a mother and her child
The kid is calm and she is shaking
The camera passes into the sun
Come at last to be undone
Panicking, she tries to run
The kid is calm
And then the credits roll
And every name is my name

Matt :

how the hell does that guy do it?
its impossible
because the trolley’s down here
like down here

* piano playing *

you cant get back
you gotta look
how are you supposed to pick up chicks if you gotta look at what your doing
it’s impossible
see, it cant be done
no human being can play that
it’s gotta be like
two midgets or something

Hey Alice
I’m caving in, I’m caving in
I know it’s not allowed
But sometimes I fantasize
I’m peeling off my skin
Enough to fill it up again
Hey rabbit
Into the pavement
I’m caving in

Mother told me to be something
So I’m afraid
Enough to stay wide awake

Hey rabbit
I came to win, I came to win
I know it’s not allowed but sometimes
You might find
It’s feels like nothing is
And it’s everything you’ve been
Hey Alice
Into the pavement
I’m caving in

Mother told me to be something
So I’m afraid
Enough to stay wide awake

This ain’t real baby
I’ve got a better excuse for myself

I’m always here

Write a comment and let everybody know what you think this song is about!

Don’t move, stay right where you are
Talking can only give you away
There’s so nothing to say
The voices say hello
Imprisoned, they’re invisible
We look at lot alike, we look a lot alike
This is boring, all we talk about is you
Come on give me a reason

A boy and his machine gun

When you’re finished struggling
Are you free tonight?
Did they stick you in here cause
You weren’t working right?

Don’t move, stay just like you are
You look sane motionless like that
So very flat
It’s amazing what velocity can do
When human beings are in season

A boy and his machine gun
If you’re quiet we might see some

When you’re finished struggling
Are you free tonight?
Did they stick you in here cause
You weren’t working right?

There’s a TV in every room
And it’s free, even pay-per-view
Which you’ll need if no one’s going to visit you
Animal, fucking animal

I know who you’re waiting for
No one’s coming though

So fuck you and your principles
Fuck whatever made me
Perhaps you think I’m evil
What does it matter if we’re crazy?
Fuck you and your principles
Fuck whatever made me
Perhaps you think I’m evil
What does it matter if we’re crazy
