1.Give Me A Moment
Living my summers out in a hotel
Finally found the room to set a spell
Heard things at home were going astray
Won't you give me a moment, I've been away
I heard my name, but didn't turn around
Waited on the stairs for you to take the elevator down
And down
When I got to my room, I found out
You've been a lover, and you've been a friend
There've been others I never meant
How many witnesses, I couldn't say
Lord, give me a moment I've been away
I've been away, I've been away
I've been away and I've been out of my head
First sign of winter, I want you to go
Take nothing with you and never let it show
But leave me alone now, so I can pray
Lord, give me a moment I've been away
I've been away, I've been away
I've been away, and I've been out of my head
2.Samaritan
Please don't report me to the police
I wanted to help, but i can't stick around
Do what you have to do
But remember, i helped you out
If and when you see me again, just pretend we never met
I just needed to do that for myself
Just get away from here and maybe it will never come up again
This is what they mean by standing in for the sane
I wouldn't normally, but my bread became hell
You said i'm in pain and
I knew nothing would change by your scream
Just so you don't think everyone's the same way
Tomorrow i probably won't remember i did a thing
You just need to make sure you're okay
i need to get the hell out of here
I'm sure the cops are on their way
Please forget my face
please forget my face
this is what they mean by standing in for the sane
and i'll never bother anyone, again
hold my hand through this long walk
tell me i can when i balk, and go too far
these are men on either side with threatening hands
put my spinning head in a soft crown
3.Mimi
When I saw your eyes, I saw you Mimi
But I was brainless and I did what I could
Babies were flaming, I had to run 'em down
But when I saw you Mimi, I had to get into you Mimi
I had to run 'em down, oh Mimi
Well, I had to get into you Mimi
I had to run 'em down, oh Mimi
I had to get into you
You're eyes are my soul
You can turn lead into gold
I know I crossed the line
Mimi, I know you're a goldmine
I was so lazy, all hands and fives
Those flaming babies came down from the sky
I couldn't have save them
Mimi, don't cry
When I saw you leaving me through that front window
My life flashed before my eyes
My life flashed before me eyes
Oh, Mimi
Your eyes are my soul
You can turn lead into gold
I know I crossed the line
Mimi, I know you're a goldmine
4.Medicine Cabinet Pirate
We could have a baby
To keep us awake
We could get a radio
We could wait for the shaking
Do you hate me for saying so？
There's a chance but no one will know
There's a chance that it wouldn't show
Pinched fingers, stuffy nose
You were waiting for my turn
You were waiting for me to learn
Medicine cabinet pirate, you were waiting for my luck to run out
I wanna be with you all the time
Medicine cabinet pirate, you were waiting for my luck to run out
The engines are whining
The drowning has stopped
Flagrant vibrations bolting beneath the sun
Drink up your life, but only taste the dying
Pinched fingers, stuffy nose
You were waiting for my turn
You were waiting for me to learn
Medicine cabinet pirate, you were waiting for my luck to run out
I wanna be with you all the time
I couldn't have dreamed this alone
I couldn't have dreamed this wrong
Your new math is treason
5.Unsalted Butter
You're so cold, right
you've been cold all night
now you're holding on, like you're holding a child
your eyes are shining, but it's dark outside
do you feel alright？
making dinner dates？ What, are you blind？
I hold down two jobs to keep one from flying
It was late, my mistake
A whole two hours left of daylight
My dinner date, a blonde, was hung up onside
She was hung up on sign
If you think you're gonna be here long
I'm gonna miss you so much when you're gone
All that wasted time
They call it murdering your own apartment
Daylight glows, the patterning is desolate
Now it's breakfast time
You're holding Hollywood above my head
Unsalted butter is my punishment
If you think you're gonna be here long
I'm gonna miss you so much, when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you so much
When you're gone
My dinner date is hung up on sign
Now it's breakfast time
You're holding Hollywood above my head
Unsalted butter is my punishment
6.Government Loans
Don't give any cake to the blonde one
Maybe she'll be a novice
She's doing it all she won't
She's in line
For some government loans
You know the hard time's gonna come
The murderer's shoes are spotted
He sees his persecution
Knows he won't be forgotten
He's in line
For some government loans
You know the hard time's gonna come
This hoping with my knees is heartless
But I'm not the only one who's feeling old
I want due consideration
I'm in line
For some government loans
You know the hard time's gonna come
7.Copernicus
We caught an honest buzz
You caught us, called it dangerous
I doubt I made a sound
You thought it was erotica, it was erotic
You call a cough a smile
Now I can't tell glad from ill
You doubt my world is round
You right I was, Copernicus
You're right I was
Copernicus
You don't have to wait to come undone
Not about the night we hauled lee
Heaven rain on the lake tonight
Into the lake now, way to go
Someone made a mistake tonight
And they're blaming it all on you
Swimming told me you waited too long
Waiting for the light now, way to go
Hold the rope they're gonna hang you from
They're blaming it all on you
You don't have to wait to come undone
Not about the night we hauled lee
We caught an honest buzz
You caught us, called it dangerous
I doubt I made a sound
You thought it was erotica, it was
Copernicus
