PIANO WOMAN

It's simple:
I gave you the money.
Let me watch her play,
and learn a thing or two.
I gave you the money.
Her hands go down and back.
My strings shake
like a coward.
Scared.
It's simple:
I gave you the money to see,
gave you the money to see her
play that piano.

BEHIND A WALL OF ANIMALS
02:24
|
|
||
You are behind a wall
of animals
tying your shoes
in the blackness.
I am in front
of the wall of animals
tying my shoes
in the brightness.
This is the world.
Trees are blooming
into bright lightbulbs,
and then the lightbulbs fall
and crash.
The animals are breaking
into fewer animals.
And our hands are pinecones.

I've no time for things
that I like.
I've got work.
I've got class, soon.
This busy life
gets so contrived,
yet I stuck it to my soul.
There's no time for things
I do.
Too much all in one soul.
This busy life
gets so contrived,
yet I stuck it to my soul.
Stuck it to my soul.
Oh how it sticks to me.
oh. ew.

You won't give it to me
and I asked so nicely.
But you won't give it to me.
You won't.
Extend my time here.
Extend my time here.
Wake up.
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
They're not gonna
let me extend.
They're not gonna, they're not gonna
let me extend my stay.

NO RIGHTS
02:53
|
|
||
You told
your folks
and they condemned you.
Calm down
like a ton of bricks.
so, they have no rights.
We have no rights.
Locked inside a dirty cage,
kick the gravel down
to where an answer can be found.
You have no rights.
They have no rights.
We have no rights.
We have no rights here.

HEY
01:22
|
|
||
HEY! I think you're pretty alright.
So, I guess it's time to say goodnight.
Although I'm going away,
I'll be here tomorrow.
Singing a song of yesterday,
the one you'll like
when I play
saying HEY!
I think you're pretty cool.
So, let's cut class together.
And enjoy this Hong Kong weather.
You like it or not? really? maybe?
Alright, just maybe we can have a try?
What are we waiting for? a try?
That's what I'm waiting for.

TRAIN TICKET
03:25
|
|

You've got a train ticket.
Just go with it
to a land of grass
and dirt, and no words.
Oh, I don't
have a train ticket.
I can't board the train
to a land of grass and dirt.
Oh, but it ain't ever gonna die.
No, it ain't ever gonna die.
This land of grass and dirt,
and no words.
Oh, but it ain't ever gonna die.
No, it ain't ever gonna die.
This land of grass and dirt,
and no words.

some sort of love song
03:37
|
|
||
I set myself on fire.
It burned me out.
I'm so tired.
But I can't go to my bed.
So I guess I can burn out
with you.
Until there's a knock at the door
that I won't answer.
Just shut my mouth and
hide under covers of love.
I set myself on fire.
It burned me out.
