1.Learning
No one will answer your prayers until you take off that dress
No one will hear all your crying until you take your last breath
But you will learn to mind me
And you will learn to survive me
No one will answer your prayers until you take off that dress
No one will hear all your crying until you take your last breath
But you will learn to mind me
And you will learn to survive me
Your father before you and your sister too, your husband blah
blah blah blah, you.
2.Lookout, Lookout
Mary, Mary-belle with an upper-case M
All your neighbors know what your mother sells
But you carved out a name; you carved out a name for yourself
Look out, look out
Look out, look out
Look out, look out
Look out, look out
Look out, look out
There are murders about
Guinea pig hair in a twisted mouth
Through a hole to the railway
And Brian's face down
Keep your wits
He will not be missed
He didn't have a family to begin with
Look out, look out
Look out, look out
Look out, look out
Look out, look out
Look out, look out
There are murders about
3.Mr. Peterson
My work came back from class
With notes attached
Of a place and time
Or how my body kept him up at night
He let me smoke weed in his truck
If I could convince him I loved him enough
Enough, enough, enough, enough
He made me a tape of Joy Division
He told there was a part of him missing
When I was sixteen
He jumped off a building
Mr Petersen
I know you were ready to go
I hope there's room for you up above
Or down below.
4.Gay Angels
Twenty days spent together
Marks healing on your hands
Remember, remember that
Perry
Twenty days add together
He took advantage
Remember when you used to laugh
Perry
Keep a pay cheque in your hands
We may never
See you again
Perry
Whatever gets left
Put your trust in them
We know we already have
Twenty days spent together
Marks healing on your hands
5.You Won't B Here
That was always
intended for you.
It doesn't matter
Who you answer to.
Your heart will break
Whatever you do.
But you won't b here
Tomorrow.
You might not get
What you were promised.
You might be hollow
Under all of the dust.
But you are hurting
Everyone you touch.
And they won't b here
Tomorrow.
They won't b here tomorrow.
They won't b here tomorrow.
They won't b here tomorrow.
They won't b here tomorrow.
They won't b here tomorrow.
6.Write To Your Brother
mary, you should write to your brother
every night until he recovers
and in the letter press a fresh flower
and bless it with a higher power
tell him mom treats you like a lover
that you have to hide all the mouthwash from her
and seal it with three closed mouth kisses
and write do not open 'til christmas

Perry,
Twenty days spent together

Remember, remember that

Twenty days add together

Remember, when you used to laugh

We may never
See you again
Perry,
Whatever gets left
Put your trust in them

10.Never Did
It's all a part of his plan
It's all in his hands
But I never asked for it
But I never did
It's all a part of his plan
It's all in his hands
In the basement
11.Dreeem
I had this dream
And you were there
Swimming in some spring
You were bald and smiling
And swinging from the reeds
While they were whistling
My face melted away
You were there
You still knew my name
And you still held me exactly the same
(Where? Well?) Nothing had really changed
Except my face had melted away
If you were here right now
I wouldn't have to write it down
I would just sing (?)
And let you listen
12.Your Drum
