The Dismemberment Plan Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Come Home

Lyricist:Robert Johnson

Called in sick to work today
I couldn't have gotten the damn thing done anyhow
I made myself some coffee and
I listened to the rain rattle the leaves, yeah
I told myself there's nothing wrong
And stared right through the paper for a long, long time

Stuck inside my dream so long
It wears you down, it grows you old but that's a fact
Cold light comes to clear the fog
Away from time to time but it'll be back soon
I used to think that justice had to
Rule for happy lives but now I'm not so sure at all

Come home, why don't you come home?
I cannot remember why you left
And I'd rather been happy than right this time

Called my dad to check in and to
Maybe find some common sense for more or less
He says common sense is such a scam
And I'm like, 'Dad, what do you mean?' Oh
He says, 'You're either wrong or right
And life will go on either way, whatever you chose' But I know

That anger's all right and bitterness no
Cold uncontrollably sad and unable to let it go

And it should be as easy as telling a scab from a scar
Well, I don't know, well, I don't know
Well, I don't know, well, I don't know
Well, I don't know, well, I don't know

I called in sick to work today
I couldn't have gotten a damn thing done


2.Superpowers

Lyricist:John Wesley Harding

I've seen the world's most beautiful women undress in ordinary
solitude
I've fallen asleep in shift of distant satin
I've watched the rich risk it all for
Fifteen minutes in a Heathrow bathroom
I've shuddered as an unseen mouth slid down my spine every night

I have seized with the ice cold rage
Of a lover betrayed half a million miles away
I have cried so hard for hours and not known why, I never do
I've been knocked down flat by joy
That makes my face pulse like a sugar high
I've been cornered by the screams of a body as it freed itself
of it's mind

I guess you could call it 'Superpowers'
But no one is going to save the world with what I've got
An indigo light from silvery towers
Surrounded by rocks and stones as far as the eye can see

I've been lost in a cold white space
As an arrogant dream storms in from another life
I have felt the snaps of lines that bind us all to this world
I have felt such unreal pain and not known what to do, it isn't
mine
I have stayed awake for weeks and slept for days, not one dream

I guess you could call it 'Superpowers'
But no one is going to save the world with what I've got
An indigo light from silvery towers
Surrounded by rocks and stones as far as the eye can see

Under low gray skies
And a razored wind that tears at the walls


3.What Do You Want Me To Say

Lyricist:Billy Yates, Bobby Taylor, Mike Geiger

I lost my membership card
To the human race
So don't forget the face
'Cause I know that I do belong here

Go down the checklist let's see
Feelings are good
Dishonesty is bad
And keeping it inside is worse still

You want a problem
Well, I guess we got one now
I really don't know how
There's injuns over every goddamn hill

What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it

What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it
What do you want me to say, yeah?

I see it coming from
A million miles away
What else can I say?
The only way you know that I love you

And there's no eye-to-eye
Just Moses on the mount
Or I'm in for the count
You need your man above or below you

I cannot cry at will but I do wish I could
'Cause it'd do you some good
When every joke
I make is treason

There was a time when
You could make me laugh at will
And you can do it still
But never is it for the right reasons, yeah

What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it

What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it

What do you want me to say?
What do you want to hear?
To let you know that I do mean it
What do you want me to say, yeah?

Check out, check out
Check out, check out
Check out, check out
Check out, check out

What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it

What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it

What do you want me to say?
What do you want to hear?
To let you know that I do mean it
What do you want me to say, yeah?
