1.Wounded
the guy who put his hands on you
has got nothing to do with me
and the bruises that you feel will heal
and i hope you'll come around
cause we're missing you
and you used to speak so easy
now you're afraid to talk to me
it's like walking with the wounded
carrying that weight way to far
concrete pulled you down so hard
out there with the wounded
we're missing you
well i never claimed to understand what happens after dark
but my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of touching you
when you're wounded
let me break it down till to force the issue
we miss your face and you know we wish you
would come back down to the dalva bar
you tell them that's just my battle scar
i wanna kiss you
and knock 'em down like we used to
you're the marigold
till you're walking down shaking that ass again
then you walk on baby walk on you walk on
on and on
you're an angel in the pit with her hands in the air
and we're missing you
now it's fall and your shoulder's get tighter
nervous flicks on the lighter boots
your pissed off poets your women's groups
and the friends with you we should have known this fool
well i guess we missed the mark
still my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of
them touching you
now you're wounded
let me break it down till to force the issue
you never come around and you know we miss you
well nobody took your pride away
i say that's something people say
back down the bully to the back of the bus
cause it's time for them to be scared of us
till you're yelling how we living cause you got the ball
then you rock on baby rock on you rock on
on and on
you're a summer time hottie with her socks in the air
screaming i won't care baby i don't care no
you say you don't know
you say you can't grow you're the marigold
all i know is we're missing you you
you say you don't know
you say you can't grow you're the marigold
all i know is we're missing you

4.Deep Inside Of You
when we met light was shed
thoughts free flow you said you've got something
deep inside of you
a wind chime voice sound sway of your hips round rings true
echo's deep inside of you
these secret garden beams changed my life so it seems
fall breeze blows outside i don't bring stride
my thoughts are warm and they go deep inside of you
oh yeah
and i never felt alone
alright alone alone
till i met you
friends say i've changed
i don't listen cause i live to be
deep inside of you
slide of her dress shouts in darkness
i'm so alive i'm
deep inside of you
you said boy make girl feel good
but still deep inside still
i've never felt alone
till i met you
i'm alright on my own
till i met you
and i'd know what to do if i just knew what's coming
i would change myself if i could
i'd walk with my own people if i could find them
and i would say that i'm sorry to you
i'm sorry to you but i don't want to call you
but then i want to call you cause i don't want to crush you
but i feel like crushing you and it's true
i took for granted you were with me
i breath by your looks and you look right through me
but we were broken and didn't know it
but we were broken and didn't know it
but we were broken and didn't know it
but we were broken and didn't know it
right oh what's right
something's gone you withdraw and i'm not strong like before i
was
deep inside of you
i can go nowhere i burn candles and stare at a ghost
deep inside of you
and some great need in me starts to bled
i've lost my self there's nothing left it's all gone
deep inside of you
deep inside of you
5.1000 Julys
planning my attack just before you come back around
maybe i'm wrong but i don't know how to back down
i never fit in you know i don't belong
but you know that i don't care when you and me are strong
cause i'm a vampire y'all
we toast the blood of our enemies
you're still scaring me no still scaring me no
and we don't fit in
wonder what it's like when you're living with someone like me
i'm a freak and i'm nervous when it's easy
feral days and i'm sex crazed
i put it in with my animal ways
that's the sign i was born to be living in
i ran around and gave the finger to the ritalin
you know you calm me down and i can't say why
you say goodbye and burn my eyes
a thousand july's
i hope you find
i'd give you the words but no words come to mind
but you turn me so cold so i tell you lies
when you let me in it's like a thousand julys
when you left i felt the drop like a boom
wintertime all alone in your bedroom
i don't blame you and i know i'm not your friend
how we live young american
i guess i've always known i'd be on my own
i'd be on my own and i don't know why i don't know why
a thousand julys
i know you'll find
i'd say the words but no words come to mind
but you let me in and i don't know why
but when you come it's like a thousand julys
a thousand julys
that's what you are
i'd tell you to come back now but we've gone too far
and we've burned it out now
i don't even try
but i feel you gone
i lost a thousand julys
6.10 Days Late
click your heals
and feel you come for me
care free she's got something big to tell me
at the ocean
talk back at the ocean
there's no simple way
to let you know
funny how she always cried out daddy
i got a big surprise she said
i'm in trouble now
and it cannot wait
she's ten days late
boy your life got complicated
well i can't wait
to see this through
she's ten days late
ten days late
low ride bicycles go cruising by
i laugh
i don't even know why
talk back at the ocean
consequence and ozone
catch a glow
oh no baby oh no no
give me a minute now
to figure out my state
oh i know
she's ten days late
and i don't know
where to take it
but it's still great
knowing you
she's ten days late
ten days late
choir time has come for you to choose
baby daddies keep your boo
many blessings come to you
baby daddy keep your boo end choir
your eyes look to me for what to do
i can't lie
i don't know
at the ocean
talk back at the ocean
no one's laughing
now what do i say
i walk away but oh no
don't go
at the ocean
talk back at the ocean
give me a minute now
to figure out my state
she's ten days late
and i'm never going to fade it
i guess i'll always be
knowing you
knowing you
knowing you
7.Farther
nothing much matters to me
so i don't see why i should
hold so tightly
to a memory
that i can't speak of
i think about it nightly
how you opened up
your life for me
why are you still lonely
though i'm not the type who begs
i'm thinking how you'd open up your legs
but i'm farther from you every day
and a woman talking to herself
gathers up the shit she couldn't sell
chances don't bode well
tomorrow and
talking to myself pass by
i miss you
but know the face you make
like when you found me out
for the fake
i am
so easily
you see through me
what do you do to me
to make me treat you so bad
i keep hoping
that you'll speak to me
but i'm father from you every day
all i think about is waiting
and the people
we are changing into
there was a sound
but i don't know how it goes
there was something
we went through
blew in from the coast
you said
you are of the earth
i am of the sky
i don't even know what the hell that means
father from you
every day
all i think about is waiting
and all the people
we are fading into
and i think about you
dying years from now
never having known
who you are
farther from you
everyday
8.Darkness
blue come over
born a joneser
and the cops roll out the radar
and shoot devious grins
another day begins
i want someone to know me
maybe tell me who i am
cause i've faced down my demons
and cried out to a god
a god i've never seen
lights
and the world darkens around me
strange friends all surround me
new ideas in my head start to burn
dropped out of schools cause of things i never learned
and the world darkens around me
world darkens around me
i want you to love me
like you did before you knew me
and i never thought there'd be any help
for somebody like me
a vacancy
sing
and the world darkens around me
strange friends all surround me
new ideas in my head start to burn
trust no one is the one thing that i learned
and the world darkens around me
world darkens around me
bring me the sun
slide off the moon
yeah you better get home soon
slide off the moon
there's no hope for people like you and me
bring me the sun cause i slide off the moon
bring me the sun
9.Darwin
the chromosomes divide
multiply and thrive
and the strong survive
and the strong survive
and a spaceman fucked an ape
then cut out on the date
and now it's much too late
the space ship has escaped
chorus
we're lacking something
something good
is this all for nothing
show me the goods
something good
the chromosomes divide
multiply and thrive
and the strong survive
and the strong survive
and the grandson of an alien
wears his snake skin boots
and shows his reptile roots
he shows his reptile roots
chorus
boom tick tick
and who skipped
the long play
who skipped the record
and who amped what you say
i want to sing a song that's my own
i want to the dj
chorus
and it's alright
it's a long night
a long night
it's a long night
10.An Ode To Maybe
lead in night at the laundry mat
and i'm staring at you pulling clothes from a dryer
and i'm wondering how i got here
but it seems some how i keep getting stuck in the mire
i needed this more than you i knew
and i let you down and i said i'm sorry
but the light that falls on my castle walls
and my basketballs pelt me with bricks in my dreams
tonight
oh maybe
what you need i hope it finds you
oh i might
i might be
well maybe
maybe someday you'll get it right
if i could bottle my hopes in a store bought scent
they'd be nutmeg peach and they'd pay the rent
and i'd ride a horse and i'd teach a course
on how i got to be a star crossed pimp
tonight
oh maybe
what you need i hope it finds you
oh i might
i might be
well maybe
maybe someday you'll get it right
11.The Red Summer Sun
there's a big red sky over you and i
and it's coming and we're pumping over the ground
in desert air i hope you'll be there
cause it's coming down
pumping over ground
i've seen car wreck kids walk away from it
laughed from within
i know these days will end
it's been a long time a long time
to walk with the mighty
i won't be a martyr
so let me go let me go
on my own i'll make do with none
i will blame no one
slept on packing foam
i'll make it all my home
and i'll take on anyone
it's been a long time a long time
to walk with the mighty
i won't be a martyr
so let me go let me go
and i'll take on anyone
these days they're not done
the red summer sun
12.Anything
anything for you
turn my castles blue
turn my bones to sand
just to see you
i'll give you anything
i'll give you anything
i'll give you anything
jackie o with the top down open
all the words to whatís unspoken
i'll put together everything that's broken
just to see you
i'll give you anything
i'll give you anything
i'll give you anything
jackie o with the top down open
a kingís horse for what's been broken
i'll bring back even whatís unspoken
just to see you
i'll give you anything
i'll give you anything
i'll be your anything
13.Red Summer Sun
Oh ahh
I believe everything you say
'cuz your not frightened
The way i've been so
So i follow you
Just in case you lose your way
So glad you let me stay around
The chain link fence you climbed
To make forbidden lakes our own
Your's and mine
And with ease of the sea gulls
We cut the engines and cruise high
In the summer sky
Babae
Now i could speak to everything
But there's no room for my voice
When sweet feed back is
Jumping through the hoop of your ear
Ring there goes the phone
And then you're off again
On what the caller brings you
So i went and trashed myself at the bar
Confused for nothing thinking you'd be there
I'm so embarrassed cuz it's you
Who comes to take care of me
Shambling home again with you lead
And it's not the way i want to go
And i'm mad at you and i'm mad at me
Talking endlessly, not a kind word to say
Till your amber beads of wisdom come
And i want to write it down
Just the way you said it, oh no
So i could keep it always
Always
I can't forget the smell
Of summer trees at midnight
Bending backwards to please the wind
You touch the tattoo of the sun
On a warm belly that once carried a baby for a while
Then let that crackled leather jacket round you fold
Red face saints monogrammed in gold
And in this beauty i would not go any further
'cuz i suddenly remembered
We can't live this way forever
Idle daylight
I've never caught you in a lie
Not until now
I feel somehow
I've felt the passing of these days gone by
What will you do when the feeling
That you have is through
I need to know
Cuz i'll never stop hanging on to you
And it's times like this that i dread
When there's everything to say
And nothing left
To be said
To be said
And it makes me sad
14.Slow Motion
Ms. jones taught me english, but i think i just shot her son
Cause he owed me money, with a bullet in the chest you cannot
run
Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot
The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot
I guess i didn't mean it
But man you shoulda seen it
His flesh explode
Slow motion
See me let go
We tend to die young
Slow motion
See me let go
What a brother knows
Slow motion
See me let go
Now the cops will get me
But girl, if you would let me
I'll take your pants off
I gotta a little bit of blow
We could both get off
Later bathing in the afterglow
Two lines of coke i'd cut with draino
And her nose starts to bleed
A most beautiful ruby red
Slow motion
See me let go
We'll remember these days
Slow motion
See me let go
Urban life decay's
Slow motion
See me let go
And at home
My sister's eating paint chips again
Maybe that's why she's insane
I shut the door to her moaning
And i shoot smack in my vains
And wouldn't you
See my neighbor's beating his wife
Because he hates his life
There's an arc to his fist as he swings
Oh man, what a beautiful thing
And death slides close to me
Won't grow old to be
A junkie whine-o creep
Hollywood glamourized my wrath
I'm the young urban psyco path
I encite murder for your entertainment
Cause i needed the money
What's your excuse？
The joke's on you
Slow motion
See me let go (aaahh)
Oh yeah
Slow motion
See me let go (aaahh)
Ahhhh
Slow motion
See me let go (aaahh)
Oooh
