Red Onion
02:10
|

oh i fell for you completely
not subtle
or discretely
the night was cold
we huddled close
a snowflake landed on your nose
we locked eyes through your orange hair
i could take it from there
we hopped a bus
then things went fast
we reached my stop
then rode right past
the ice it nearly froze my thigh
but i'm burning up inside
girl you're gonna break my heart
you told me that right from the start
i'm so surprised I'm having fun
the hurting's just begun
the night it passed
and morning came
the winter wind
blew out the flame
I stayed in bed
so desperately
still holding on
to what might be
an empty smile
a little laugh
got up to break my morning fast
i'm so surprised I'm having fun
the hurting's just begun
an empty smile
a little laugh
got up to break my morning fast
i'm so surprised i'm having fun
the hurting's just begun
the hurting's just begun
the hurting's just begun
i'm eating a red onion
i'm eating a red onion

Trippin'
03:00
|
|||
oh i've been slippin'
reality
means marginally more than me masking my misery
so let's go trippin'
to a foreign land
anywhere where people do things i understand
it's time
i step outside myself
but i
can't do it by myself
and i'm
always talking bout myself
and that ain't right
yeah I've been slippin'
in fantasy
in paintings of places only i can see
so let's go trippin'
i need a hand
in pulling me and my big head up out of the sand
it's time
i step outside myself
but i can't do it by myself
and i'm
always talking bout myself
and that ain't right
see how i'm slippin'
so let's go trippin'

Brain Dead
02:44
|

tell me what to think
tell me what to do
my heart's beating red
but my brain's been dead since i met you
i feel i need a drink
to keep from feeling blue
you're turning me on
but i'm off in my head since i met you
i'm looking at the TV screen
hoping for a hopeful scene
no dice
my bed is filled with dreams of us
so why am i so serious?
it's nice
help me out
give me a sign
i need a nudge across the line
nothing's ever ever gonna be fine
tell me what to think
tell me what to do
my heart's beating red
but my brain's been dead since i met you
i feel i need a drink
to keep from feeling blue
you're turning me on
but i'm off in my head since i met you

Window
03:31
|
|||
go ahead and stare
it's hard to care anymore
all that i once knew
is lost from view
i'm still ashore
stay inside and play
this day away
look out the window
see the passing breeze
what kind of trees
i don't know
everybody knows this place
god will never show their face

Older

i'm just getting older
i wanna go farther
my mind won't stop racing
i'm just like my father
i'm not getting richer
i'm not growing fonder
i'm spending my money
i'm wishing to wander
i'm stuck in this body
i won't know another
i can't keep from falling
my toes keep on tripping
i'm just like my mother
i'm just like my brother
when will this be over?
when will i feel stronger?
i'm waking up every day in a daze
i can't take this much longer
my heart's getting ready
just need to unlock it
red rover red rover roll over the boulder
the word of the prophet
i'm just getting older
