:: Closing Time ::

:: Thursday, February 06, 2003 ::

Anthems to an all nighter. Some are obvious, others are not. If you know why they all drive me.... then you know me pretty fucking well.
---------

The heart is a bloom
That peeks up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place.
Someone
You
Could lend
A hand
In return
For Grace

It's a beautiful day
Skies fall, you fell like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

.....

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth
After the flood, all the colors came out
.....

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

--------------

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh
As the bright blue sky

Now and then, when I see her face
It takes me away to that special place
And if I stay too long
I'll probably break down and cry

Woah, oh oh sweet child of mine
Woah, oh oh oh sweet love of mine.

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as I child I'd hide.
And pray for the thunder, and the rain to quiet and pass me bye

Woah, oh oh sweet child of mine,
Mmmmwoah, oh oh oh sweet love of mine.

----------------

I'm
Writing you to
Catch you up on places I've been
You
Have this letter
Probably got excited
But there's nothing else inside

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when
I'm in the mood
To lose my way
With words.

Today
Skies are painted
Colors of a cowboy cliche

And strange
How clouds that look like
Mountains in the sky
Are next mountains anyway

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world through
Both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to lose my way but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise
With your own eyes
It brought me back
To life.

You'll
Be
With
Me next time
I go outside.
No more
Three by fives.

-------------

I'm mixing up a bunch of magic stuff
A magic mushroom cloud
Of care
A potion that'll rock
The boat will rock
Make a bomb of love
And blow it up

I did it
Do you think I've gone too far?
I did it
Guilty as charged
I did it
Was me right or wrong?
I did it
Yeahh....

I never did a single thing or did a single thing to change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right, inside I didn't know at all.
I opened up the curtains I heard silence there but lights flash and crawl
But I did it justice, I did just did it for us all.

A nickel or a dime for what I've done
The truth is that I don't really care
For such a lovely crime I'll do the time
You better lock me up, I'll do it again.

I did it

-----------

Yo, the sun don't shine forever
But as long as it's here
Then we might as well shine together
Better now than never
Business before pleasure
P.Diddy and the fam, who you know do it better?
Yeah right, no matter what we air tight.
So when you hear something, make sure you hear it right
Don't make an ass out of yourself by assuming
Our music keeps you moving
What are you proving?
You know that I'm
Two levels above you baby
Hug me baby
I'mma make you love me baby
Talking crazy ain't gonna get you nothing but choked
And that jealousy is only gonna leave you broke
So the only thing left now is God for these cats
And Big, you know you're too hard for these cats
I'mma win cause I'm too smart for these cats
While they're making up fats
We be raking up plaques.

------------------------

Isn't for the money
No it isn't for the fun
It's a plan
A scam
A diagram
It's for the benefit of everyone
You gotta have a little respect
For subterrainian ideals
Traditional neglect
Reflect on how it makes you feel

The cause
We're just doing it for the cause

No it isn't for the fortune
It isn't for the fame
it's a scheme, a dream, a bautterine,
We want everyone to think the same
Cause you know what you know is right
And you feel what you can't ignore
And you try so hard to point the blame
Ashamed
What are we doing this for

The cause
We're just doing it for the cause
The cause
We're just doing it for the cause

Open
Your eyes
Don't trust
These lies

What are we doing this for
the cause
we're just doing it for the cause

-------------

Lover
I'm on the streets
Gonna go where bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar
I'm on fire

Desire

She's the candle
Burning in my room
I'm the needle
Needle and spoon
Over the counter
With a shotgun
Pretty soon
Everybody got one
And the fever
When I'm beside her

Desire

And the fever, getting higher...

Desire

(burning..... burning.....)

---------

I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend but I'm a little glowing friend but really I'm not actually your friend but I am blue canary in the outlet by the light switch who watches over you make a little birdhouse in your soul not to put too fine a point on it say I'm the only bee in your bonnet make a little birdhouse in your soul

I've got a secret to tell from my electrical well it's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells so the room must listen to me fillibuster vigilantly my name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e my story's infinite like the longien symphonite doesn't rest blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch who watches over you make a little birdhouse in your soul not to put too fine a point on it say I'm the only bee in your bonnet make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend but I'm a little glowing friend but really I'm not actually your friend but I am there's a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry who stayed on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free though I respect that a lot I'd be fired if that were my job after killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts blue bird of friendliness like guardian angels it's always near blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch who watches over you make a little birdhouse in your soul not to put too fine a point on it say I'm the only bee in your bonnet make a little birdhouse in your soul

and while you're at it
leave the nightlight on inside that birdhouse
in your soul

------------

This is a public service announcement
This is only a test
Emergency evacuation process
May impair your ability to operate machinery
Can't quite tell just what it means to me
Keep out of reach children don't you talk to strangers
Get your philosphy from a bumper sticker

Warning, live without warning
I said warning, live without warning
Without. All right.

Mental homes and saftey self communities
Did you remember to pay the utility
Gosh darh police line you better not cross!
Is it the cop, or am I the one that's really dangerous?
Sanitation expiration date
Question everything
Or shut up and be a victim of authority
Warning, live without warning
I said warning, live without warning
Without. All right.

---------

So
You
Wanted
To take
A
Break

Slow
It
Down
Some
And have
Some
Space

Fuck you too

Gimme my money back
Gimme my money back
You bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
And don't forget
To gimme back my black t-shirt

I wish
I
Hadn't
Bought
You
Dinner
Right
Be
Fore
You
Dumped
Me on
Your front porch

Gimme my money back
Gimme my money back
You bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
And don't forget
To gimme back my black t-shirt

Take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

*hook*
