1.Inaudible Melodies
Brushfire fairytales
Itsy bitsy diamond wells
Big fat hurricanes
Yellow-bellied given names
Well, shortcuts can slow you down
And in the end we're bound
To rebound off of we
Well, dust off your thinking caps
Solar-powered plastic plants
Pretty pictures of things we ate
We are only what we hate
But in the long run we have found
Silent films are full of sound
Inaudibly free
Slow down everyone
You're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you when
You're moving like that
Inaudible melodies
Serve narrational strategies
Unobtrusive tones
Help to notice nothing but the zone
Of visual relevancy
Frame-lines tell me what to see
Chopping like an axe
Or maybe Eisenstein should just relax
Slow down everyone
You're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you when
You're moving like that
Well Plato's cave is full of freaks
Demanding refunds for the things they've seen
I wish they could believe
In all the things that never made the screen
And just slow down everyone
You're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you when
You're moving like that
Slow down everyone
You're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you when you're moving like that
Moving too fast
2.Middle Man
Well he's not necessarily trying to say that he minds it
But someone plays a few tricks on that kid
Well he's not necessarily trying to say god can't be trusted
But someone plays a few tricks on that kid
And certain situations scream for deviations
But somehow he always gets stuck in the middle
Of this and that and man he should try less
Because every time he's rejected man he loses affection
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused
What a terrible thing for you to do
What an awful thing for you to say
What a terrible thing for you to relay
Well I know some people's they got a little less than nothing
But still find some to spare
And other people got more than they could use
But they don't share
And some people got problems man
They got awful complications
Other people got perfect situations
With no provocation
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused
What a terrible thing for you to do
What an awful thing for you to say
What a terrible thing for you
Confused
What a terrible thing for you to do
What an awful thing for you to say
What a terrible thing for you to relay
Somehow we always get stuck in the middle (repeated)
(overdubbed with)
Confused, what an awful thing for you to do
Confused, what an awful thing for you to say-ee
3.Posters
Lookin at himself but wishin he was someone else
because the posters on the wall that don't look like him at all.
So he ties it up he tucks it in he pulls it back he gives a
grin,
laughin at himself because he knows he aint loved at all.
He gets his courage from the can, it makes him feel like a man
because he's lovin all the ladies but the ladies don't love him
at all.
When he's not drunk he's only stuck on himself,
and then he has the nerve to say he needs a decent girl.
Lookin at herself but wishing she was someone else
because the body of the doll that don't look like hers at all.
So she straps it on she sucks it in she throws it up and gives a
grin,
laughin at herself because she knows she aint that at all.
All caught up in the trends well the truth began to bend
and the next thing you know man there just aint no truth left at
all.
Cause when the pretty girl walks, she walks so proud,
and when the pretty girl laughs, oh man, she laughs so loud.
And if it aint this then its that as a matter of fact.
She hasn't had a day to relax,
since she's lost her ability to think...clearly.
Well I'm an energetic, apathetic version of another person.
Check out my outsides there aint nothing in here
Well I'm a superficial, systematic, music television addict.
Check out my outside there aint nothing in here.-comes another
one,
just like the other lookin at himself but wishin he was someone
else because
the posters on the wall that don't look like him,
ties it up and tucks it in and pulls it back and gives a grin.
Laughing at himself because he knows he aint loved at all.
Knows he aint loved at all
4.Sexi Plexi
Sexy sexy made up of plexi disasters
Pushing and pulling conservative rolling
Unlike plastic, easier to see through
Just like glass with no ring
Softer and sadder you sing
Sexy sexy do your thing
Learn to be shy and then you can sting
Plexi, plexi bend don't shatter
Once your broken shape won't matter
Your breaking your mind
By killing the time that kills you
But you can't blame the time
Cause its only in your mind
Quickly quickly grow and then you'll know
It is such and awkward show to see
And everyone you wanted to know
And everyone you wanted to meet
Have all gone away
Well they've all gone away
And now you're
Breaking your mind
By killing the time that kills you
But you cant blame the time
Cause its only in your mind
You're breaking your mind
5.Flake
I know she said, it's alright
You can make it up next time
I know she knows, it's not right
There ain't no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe, maybe she thinks it's fine
Maybe she knows something I don't
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means, no
So don't tell me, you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one, no not, no one
Likes to be let down
I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said, she's gonna try
Well, it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't wanna break 'em, nah, I wouldn't wanna break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this, but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to her
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means, no
So don't tell me, you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one, no not, no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means, no
So don't tell me, you might just let it go
The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please, please, please don't pass me
Please, please, please don't pass me
Please, please, please don't pass me by
Everything you know about me now, baby you gonna have to change
You goin' to call it, by a brand new name
Please, please, please don't drag me
Please, please, please don't drag me
Please, please, please don't drag me down
Just like your tree, down by the water, baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please, please, please don't drag me
Please, please, please don't drag me
Please, please, please don't drag me down
6.Bubble Toes
It's as simple as something that nobody knows
that her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
on the feet of a queen of the hearts of the cards
and her feet are all covered with tar balls and scars
It's as common as something that nobody knows that her beauty
will
follow wherever she goes
up the hill in the back of her house in the wood
she'd love me forever,
I know she could
I remember when,
you and me,
mmm how we used to be just good friends
Wouldn't give me none
But all I wanted was some
She's got a whole lot of reasons
she cant think of a single one
That can justify leaving
and he got none but he thinks she got so many problems
and he got, too much time to waste
His dreams are like commercials
But her dreams are picture perfect and Our
dreams are so related though they're often underestimated
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that
Her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the card
feet are infested with tar balls
and La da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da
Well I was eating lunch at the D. L. G.
When this little girl came and she sat next to me
never seen nobody move the way she did
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again
When you move like a jellyfish
Rhythm don't mean nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop
Move like a jellyfish
Rhythm is nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop mmm
It's as common as something that nobody knows that
Her beauty will follow wherever she goes
Up the hill in the back of her house in the wood
She'll love me forever, I know
she La da da da da da
If you would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me
If you would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that
Her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the card
feet are infested with tar balls
and La da da da da da
7.Fortunate Fool
She's got it all figured out
She knows what everything's about
And when anybody doubts her, or sings songs without her,
She's just so mmm
She knows the world is just her stage
And so she'll never misbehave
She gives thanks for what they gave her
Man they practically made her,
Into a mmm
She's the one that stumbles when she talks about
The seven foreign films that she's checked out
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate fool
She's just so mmm
She's got it all figured out
She knows what everythings about
And if anybody doubts her, or sings songs about her
She's just so mmm
Well she's the one who stumbles when she talks about
So maybe we shouldn't talk about such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate fool
She's just so mmm
8.The News
A billion people died on the news tonight
but not so many cried at the terrible sight
well mama said, 'it's just make believe,
you can't believe everything you see
so baby, close your eyes to the lullabies
on the news tonight'
Who's the one to decide that it would be alright？
To put the music behind the news tonight？
well Mama said, 'you cant believe everything you hear
the diagetic world is so unclear so baby, close your ears
on the news tonight, on the news tonight
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight.'
And Mama said, mmmmm-mmmmm
'Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who
die？
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their
eyes'
and Mama said, 'it's just make believe you can't believe
everything you see
so baby, close your eyes to the lullabies on the news tonight.'
9.Drink the Water
Drink the water, drink it down
This time I know I'm bound to spit it back up
I didn't want this salty substitute
just not going to do, I need some air
if I'm going to live through
this experience reminds me of a clock that just won't tick
I want to wake up from this concussion
but my dream is just not done - I'm late again
it's just one of those bad days
look outside and peek out for what you ride you just might find
that you're out of time to swim ashore
if I drift long enough I'll be home
He's got illusions between his ears, man, takes up too much
space
and all that tension between his gears, man, he never ever leave
this place
he's got stones instead of bones and everybody knows
aw, man, that can make you real real slow
and if heaven were below, you'd know just where to go
dive in the ocean and he'd sink like a stone
and he said, it's time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough I'll be home
hold on if you can, you're going to sink faster than you can
imagine so
hold on if you can, you're going to sink faster than you can
imagine so
it's just time to swim ashore
if I drift long enough I'll be home
10.Mudfootball(For Moe Lerner)
Saturday morning and it's time to go
One day these could be the days but who could have known
Loading in the back of a pickup truck
Riding with the boys and pushing the luck
Singing songs loud on the way to the game
Wishing all the things could still be the same
Chinese homeruns over the backstop
Kakua on the ball and soda pop well...
We used to laugh a lot
But only because we thought
That everything good always would remain
Nothing's gonna change there's no need to complain
Sunday morning and it's time to go
Been raining all night so everybody knows
Over to the field for tackle football
Big hits, big hats, yeah give me the ball
Rain is pouring, touchdown scoring
Keep on rolling, never boring
Karma, karma, karma chameleon
We're talking kinda funny from helium
We used to laugh a lot
But only because we thought
That everything good always would remain
Nothing's gonna change there's no need to complain
Monday morning and it's time to go
Wet trunks and schoolbooks and sand on my toes
Do anything you can to dodge the bus-stop blues
Like driving a padiddle with a burnt-out fuse
My best friend Kimi wants to go with you
So meet her by the sugar mill after school
My best friend Kimi wants to go with you
Meet her by the sugar mill after school
We used to laugh a lot
But only because we thought
That everything good always would remain
We used to laugh a lot
But only because we thought
That everything good always would
Everything good always would remain
11.F-Stop Blues
Hermit crabs and cowry shells
Crush beneath his feet as he comes towards you
He's waving at you
Lift him up to see what you can see
He begins his focusing
He's aiming at you
And now he has cutaways from memories
And close-ups of anything that
He has seen or even dreamed
And now he's finished focusing
He's imagining lightning
Striking sea sickness
Away from here
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
How many years and you've barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you've boasted about
Look who's crying now
Driftwood floats, after years of erosion
Incoming tide touches roots to expose them,
Quicksand steals my shoe,
Clouds bring the f-stop blues
Look who's laughing now that you've wasted
How many years and you've barely even tasted
Anything remotely close to
Everything you've boasted about
Look who's crying now
12.Losing Hope
I got a faulty parachute I got a stranger's friend
An exciting change in my butcher's blend
A symbol on the ceiling with the flick of a switch
My newfound hero in the enemy's ditch
Well somebody's something was left in the room
And now that it's gone, well of course we assume
Somebody else needed something so bad
They took everything somebody had
Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well it all, it all just seems to change
The mark was left, man, it's never the same
Next time that you shoot make sure that you aim
Open windows with passing cars
Brand new night with the same old stars
Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well it all, it all, just seems to change
Feed the fool a piece of the pie
Make a fool of his system, make a fool of his mind
Give him bottles of lies and maybe he'll find
His place in heaven cause he might just die
Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well it all, it all, just seems to change
Hanging on is easy
When you've got a friend to call
When nothing's making sense at all
You're not the only one who's afraid of change
13.It's All Understood
Everyone laughed at her joke,
as if they'd never even heard it before.
And maybe they were truly amused
but every word that she spoke was a bore.
And maybe it's because they had seen
the previews on the TV screen.
Well this part is good and that's well understood so you should
laugh
if you know what I mean.
But its all relative
even if you don't understand.
Well its all understood,
especially when you don't understand.
And its all just because,
even if we don't understand,
then let's all just believe.
Everyone knows what went down,
because the news was spread all over town.
And fact is only what you believe.
And fact and fiction work as a team.
Its almost always fiction in the end.
The content begins to bend.
When context is never the same.
And its all relative
even if we don't understand.
And its all understood,
especially when we don't understand.
And its all just because,
even if we don't understand.
Then let's all just believe-I was reading a book.
Well, maybe it was a magazine.
Suggestions on where to place faith,
suggestions on what to believe.
But I read somewhere that you've got to beware.
You can't believe anything you read.
But the good book is good and that's well understood,
so don't even question if you know what I mean.
But its all relative,
even if you don't understand.
Well its all understood,
especially when you don't understand.
Well its all just because,
even if we don't understand.
Let's all just believe.
But there you go once again you missed the point,
and then you point your fingers at me and say that I said not to
believe.
But there you go once again you missed the point,
and then you point your fingers at me and you say that I said
not to believe.
I believe.
But there you go once again you missed the point,
and then you point your fingers at me and you say that I said
not to believe.
I believe...I guess.
I guess its all relative.
