Cuídate, no te escondes
Ya te encontré, en el mar
Charco bien amargo para mí, papá
Just think it’s wherever you are
You take a drink
And make it to the telephone
You say to me
You're thinkin just a little hard
But now I know
I'm just wherever you are
You used to fall asleep
Thinkin 'bout the words to say
But talk is cheap
And now you're feeling restless
When you think of me
Just know I'm there
Wherever you are
I know!
Sombras en tu cielo osito
Alright!
I can't even fuckin take it
Next time!
I'm leaving you
Wherever you are
Please don't say it
Please don't say it y'know
Don't say it
Please don't say it y'know
Don't say it
Please don't say it y'know
Don't say it
Please don't say it y'know
Wherever you are

One More Hour

hotel and casino
near the strip mall
vegas pinot noir
ska band
with no crowd and
just a bar but
nothing tender ‘bout this
ghost town
not a showdown
flights of stairs now
carry me down,
down to the smoke den
of the hallways
stained wallpaper
peeling sideways
oh you’d know by now
everything is bright here under the sun
one more hour, how?
one more hour ‘til I get things done
street lights
near the bathroom
shot of soju
feeling like i’m already home
to the freedom
newspapers
but nobody reads them
what a shameful
looking headline
embers flash by
as the cigarette smoke yellows
all the paintings
and the same things
that make me think of…
oh you’d know by now
everything is bright here under the sun
one more hour, how?
one more hour ‘til I get things done
one more hour…

Technicolor
04:19
|
|||
|
in the middle of the night,
i’m pacing up and down a corridor that’s in my mind now
dodging all the lights, escaping the reality that’s nothing but my life now
ya said its easier to drink, than tell the people
that you always cannot ever think of
what to say
in an animated way
until you came around
i begin to see the sounds of
not a normal hue
technicolor view
pigment of the vain
nothing to refrain
there’s a shimmering of light, tv flashing on and off until the dawn now
cauterizing sights, affecting the normality of nothing but my life now
you said it’s easier to dream than talk about the people
talk about ‘em all the time now
what to say
in an animated way
until you came around
i begin to see the sounds of
not a normal hue
technicolor view
pigment of the vain
nothing to refrain
technicolor

hold, holding on
to something that just feels wrong
cold, lonely songs
singing words that don’t belong
I’m living with the technicolor blues
they’re hanging around like
the gum stuck to my shoes
tengo tus zapatos
ahora ciento que no vas a llorar
pinche vato
sin mi, por ti, pa mi
hora mira wey
tira tu espejo tus amigos ya no van a voltear
sin mi, pa mi, por ti
smoke in my eyes
(cierra tus ojitos )
from some stale cigarette nearby
(ya no fumas)
one more hit, keep it in
(dame un toquecito)
soon I’ll be heading out again

Cherry Tree

|

|
the cherry trees are blooming
the pasture ain’t the same
water droplets like a movie
picnic basket filled with rain
oh you said you didn’t know
the trail leads you far from home
if you stay close to me
you’ll see happiness that grows on trees
and I must know what makes you smile
I really wanna know

you know those lights keep flashing
just a-grabbing your attention all night
and they keep those cards a-moving
around so you don't ever get wise
yeah the house always wins
(you never know)
the house always wins
(you can’t be sure)
the house always wins
(you never know)
the house always wins
could I interest you in a
cup of coffee, or maybe tea?
the cocktail's on the house
it's complimentary
and that means free
just don't fall asleep
(under the covers)
don't fall asleep
(well here’s another)
don’t fall asleep
(they’re gonna get ya)
don’t fall asleep
they'll sell you down the river
laughing while they dig through your purse
then lie straight to your face
and tell you that the other guy's worse
they take ya money
yeah they spend it with ease
there's no rock bottom
deep enough for the sleaze
these fucking jokers man
it's never enough
they keep taking and taking and taking…
if you find that perfect line
it could make your dreams come true
beat the spread or live in debt
make a move action's on you
double down, been looking out
counting shapes, now bets are due
read ‘em and weep

Candy Bar

don't be alarmed
it's hotter than it's ever been before
it's under control
we got an eye on it, for sure
and if you need the shelter
we can rent the space for free
do you feel that heat?
I hope you paid extra for good AC
climate controlled for the rich
comfort for me
and when you need the shelter
you gotta pay the landord’s fee…
you gotta be fucking kidding me
you see?
my candy bar is melting in the heat
the air's been getting toxic, choking me
and nothing's changing I'm starting to think
the end's here, story complete
oooooo
we been singing these alarum bells
for far too long
(is it too late?)
plastic in the water
stuck for generations
Oooooo
we been singing these alarum bells
for far too long
(is it too late?)
the innocent will pay the price
of our perdition
you see?
my candy bar is melting in the heat
the air's been getting toxic, choking me
and nothing's changing I'm starting to think
the end's here, story complete

It’s like a joke that never ends
The punchline’s always changing
And they’re all saying
“I don’t get it, what’s so funny?”
It’s like a song you wanna sing
But you don’t know the words yet
And you might forget how the tune goes
We’re making it up as we go
Can’t describe it at all,
It’s like the leaves in the fall
Or watching flowers bloom
It’s in the words that we say
When we’re barely awake
It’s being next to you

I know, feels cold
but it’s time for us to go
on our own
playing in the sand
swingset was my friend
inside by nine, lights off by ten
missing that fire place in the den
I don’t wanna talk about it now
We’re planting seeds
The memories we make
Will surely outweigh nostalgia
Forget the rest
You gotta leave the nest
‘Cause you won’t see the world
From your room
And it’s a gorgeous afternoon
For me and you
