Miss Aquarius, come spend some time with me
I swear I'll not tie you down or clip your wings
And though I'm ocean deep, you won't drown in me
Hey contrarian, come right what's wrong with me
The world is too large a cause and all but lost
The lowly underdog that you champion is me
I meant to send them off within a letter-
every thought of you in my head
But if a melody might be what you'd like better
I'll sing you my emotions instead
I meant to send them off within a letter-
every thought of you in my head
But if a melody might be what you'd like better
I'll sing you my emotions instead
But you/re aloof and undecided as the weather
how do I get inside of your head?
Should I play it cool, would I do better
to keep all of my feelings unsaid?
Keep them locked away in my head
and keep my stupid mouth shut instead

If you are the melody
I'm the distortion around you
and even if I talk louder
I don't possess any words that you will hear
please hear, please hear
You know I wish I were gravity
always pulling you closer
then even as you run from me
along the way you will find that I'm still here
I'm here, I'm here
And no one else could love you better
And all those other boys, forget 'em
They're all out to break your heart, don't let 'em
Oh if only you could see, Luretta
Come and let the light of my love
warm the night you're in the dead of
and know my love, I'll never let up, Luretta
Magnificent butterfly,
I'm just a flower on the wall
I'd love for you to lean on me
I'd love to catch you when you decide to fall
please fall, please fall
And I know that I could love you better
then all those other boys, forget 'em
They're all out to break your heart, don't let 'em
Oh if only you could see,Luretta
Oh if only you could see, Luretta

Moonlit Days
03:42

Weathermen talking of a high around ten below
The neighbor's little devils making angels out in the snow
And Jack in my coffee keeps the cold away from my bones
But if they throw another snowball I'm gonna have to start throwing stones
Staring at the cracks and the various shades of gray
Swearing at the one who's stolen my sun away
Too much me time idling with dangerous hands
I gotta shake, I gotta shake it off
Caught up in the hang time dreaming of some far away lands
I gotta shake, I gotta shake it off
And somewhere in between i've got to make some alternate plans
I gotta shake, I gotta shake it off and get on with it
Remembering the days when I wasn't stuck in here alone
I'm mumbling to myself like they do in those old folk's homes
Too much me time idling with dangerous hands
I gotta shake, I gotta shake it off
Caught up in the hang time dreaming of some far away lands
I gotta shake, I gotta shake it off
And somewhere in between i've got to make some alternate plans
I gotta shake, I gotta shake it off and get on with it
I'm looking more and more like an outline in space
I'm not the same inside but I wear the same face
I've got to shake the noose and get out of this place-
out of this malaise and the blue haze of these moonlit days
I'm looking more and more for someone to embrace
to catch me if I fall or I forfeit the race
I've got to slip the noose and get out of this place
this reoccurring phase and the blue haze of these moonlit days
I'm not the same inside but I wear the same face
I've got to shake the noose and get out of this place-
out of this malaise and the blue haze, the blue blue haze of these moonlit days

Song For Pointy Teeth

Lovely and lonely, waiting for me-
you were the dream I'd been dreaming about
And though we both knew I wasn't your only
we both had too much of doing without
In another life I'd be right by your side to enjoy the ride
no God or man could make me leave
Every single time I swear I won't forget, though I do regret
we were only playing make believe
You and I were playing with fire
but only I got burned
Your flames left a mark
but you have never returned
Why am I the only one here
the weight is resting on
Why am I the only one
singing this song?
You and I were playing with fire
but only I got burned
Your flames left a mark
but you will never return
Why am I the only one here
unable to move on
Why am I the only one
singing this song?
You and I were playing with fire
but only I got burned
Your flames left a mark
but you will never return
Why am I the only one here the weight is resting on?

The wHole of Subtraction

Half the bed stays cold at night
every morning a reminder
The same as always but nothing's the same
One now was two
A smile has lost the way
The wine is tasting dull
The sound of singing birds isn't as beautiful
