01. Here She Comes

Here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes
No, I don't want her to come
but here she comes
yes, here she comes

What's she look like
they ask me in town
I say, I don't know
this time around

Where's she been
I wonder to myself
Maybe she'll tell me where
Maybe she'll tell me where

Pretty thing
you coming around
I like the way you're movin' around

Pretty thing
don't make a sound
they'll snatch you up
they'll snatch you up
and carry you out
yes, carry you out

ooh, you know
oh, you know
you know she's comin'
you know she's comin'
you know she's comin' out
she's comin' out, yes
she's comin' out
she's comin' out

02. Breathe

Maybe we're just fooling ourselves
believing in something
someone
this situation
I don't know
I think you're a little
confused, darling
maybe we're all just
a little confused, darling

just look me in the eye
and tell me you know
what's going on in here
I'll know you're lying
you're lying now

let's just step outside
let's just step outside
and breathe

never understood
all the strange things
happening in here around this time of year

if you could just help me out
darling and give a little translation
of these situations
maybe you'll just
help me believe
their stories
they go around
but I don't know if I
I can believe
I need to breathe

love
it's like one of those things
you forget about one day
and you wondered where it went to
and I said hey, and I said
darling, I know you're just
fucking with me
I know you're full of shit
I know I can't believe
a single word you say
'cause you're just a bitch
but I still listen anyway

but I can just step outside
and breathe

I thought you were so sweet
in the beginning
then I found out, yes
the truth
that you were just like
all the rest
why'd you have to
do it to me, darling
no wonder
you never loved anybody else
but youself

03. Go On

and then I say
and then I say
and then I say
and then I say

and then I say, hey
and then I say, hey
then I say maybe I don't really care
then I say maybe I don't really care

then I say, darling
won't you look at me awhile
tell me, yes
am I real
am I here
can I feel, yes
am I here

and then, oh
I solidify
and then, oh
I solidify
and tell you
another lie

then go on, go on, go on...

04. Remember

If I just had one thing to say
I'd say just leave me alone
If I just had one thing to say
I'd say just leave us alone
If I just had one thing to say
I'd say go home
If I just had one thing to say
I'd say just leave us alone
leave me alone

Do you know why we're so
hesitant to let you into our home
I bet you don't remember
all the times you just came in
and took what you wanted
then just left
left us here all alone
hey, hey, yes, you, you know, you, why

Did you think you could just
step in and kiss and make it up
it doesn't work that way, darling
no, it doesn't work that way, darling, no

two, three in the morning
I'm waking up screaming your name
two or three in the morning, yes
and I'm waking up and screaming your name
oh, it's the middle of the night
there's a ghost passing by
I hear it there
is it just my memories of you

I don't know if you remember
if you do, would you help me
remember it, too
if you remember it all
won't you tell me
the things you know
if you remember at all
won't you tell me
the things you remember

05. All the Time

all the time
my eyes
I do love it
how only your eyes
all the time
my lies
I do tell it
the way it
flows so nice
all the time
I said it's so nice
all the times you
took my life
all the time

step inside
step inside
you'll find this
so nice
step inside

love is in there
time twisted around
somewhere I know it
it's in there
it's been a long time gonna be right
to be waiting here

wish one more time
that you could go home
well, we'll see about that, dear
I can tear you down
one more time
oh, when you want me
I'll be there

you know, you know
a long time
gonna be right here
for a long time
a long time
for the ride
hold on tight
for the flight
don't you hold on
for the show
don't you it's time
the way to flow
just let it flow
now go

06. Traveling

all my life I've just
travelled the seas
and I've found
islands here and there
the prettiest treasures

everywhere that I turn to
I see your face
I see your face
everywhere I end up
I see your eyes
see your eyes

when I come back home
yeah, when I come back home
yeah, when I come back home, yeah
it's just darkness
it's just dark and quiet there
then I remember why I left
I remember why I left

07. Throw It Away

when you came in
I think you saw
I think you recognized
what was waiting for you there

when you came in
you felt the presence
of everyone else
but not yourself
but not yourself at all

where'd you go
for so, so long
where'd you go
where'd you go
for so, so long
won't you tell us, please?

please let us know
if you plan to go
I want to be here
when you step out the door

please let us know
next time you go
I'll be waiting
at the door, darling

remember the time
we all waved goodbye
remember the time
you called up and said
"oh, oh, oh, oh..."
oh, the things that you say
"oh, oh, oh, oh"
I don't really care, anyway

if you happen
to come across
a letter I wrote one day
won't you tell me
the things
I forgot to say
won't you tell me
the things I just couldn't say

if you happen
to come across
anything that belonged to me
won't you just throw it away
come on, just throw it away
you don't need any of that, anyway
hmm, just throw it away, yes
throw it away, away, yeah
throw it away, yeah
mmmhmmmmm

08. Hallelujah

that's when I came down
and said, I don't like
I don't like any of it, no

that's when I came down
and said
I think it's over, yes

that's when I came down
and said
to go, just go home

that's when I came down
and said
get out of here
get out of here

I know you had a lot of fun
but the end has just begun
and I'd like to get this over
quickly, I have to run, yes
I have to run, got places to be
and love to see
love to see, today

you can just play
all the games that you may play
you can just say
all the things you say
you can just say
hallelujah, hallelujah
you can just say
praise, praise him
yes, praise, hallelujah
hallelujah

09. Stay

I know that I'm
not the nicest guy
in the world

I know
I don't care
sometimes

I know
sometimes I wish
it would all just go away

then
something says stay

10. Happy Town

I'm told that I just
need to stop believing everything
I'm told that I just
need to stop holding on to dreams

darling, tell me the truth
one more time
cause I forgot
the words to your line, yes
and take me home
take me home
to your town

I don't know
I'm just going down
down, down

come with me
come on down
to this happy town, yes

I know you wanted me to be
there for you my baby
I know that I've
been flying

I know I'm just
taking so long
to do this
and maybe I just
think I'll be going on
forever like this

and darling
won't you just show me
one more time the way
that you believe that
I should be
and I'll go on praying
trying, pretending
maybe I don't know
I don't know

do you know
you just play with me
do you know
you just play with me

I wondered where
you get your information
I wondered where you
found this thing out
I wonder where
you've become so wild
this time
I wonder what's
the station

11. The Blue Dress

oh, it's mine
I went into this
I was hanging onto
a little piece of you
oh, I'm just swinging
around a dream
that I had
that I had

if I had just
taken a little more time
to feel out, to feel out
the situation, darling

if I just had
a little time
to explain, explain, explain
to explain these things

mhmm, mhmm hmm mm mm...
you know, you know

if I could just feel like
I was a part of an angel
part of the sky
if I could get by

you know this is
the only thing
that's keeping you
from bliss
from bliss
it's this
your hands
in your hands

she wore the blue dress, the blue dress
she wore the blue dress
and flowers in her hair
she wore, she wore the blue dress
the blue dress, yes
she wore the blue dress
the blue dress, yes
she wore the blue dress
the blue dress, yes
and flowers in her hair
she wore the blue dress
the blue dress, yes
she wore the blue dress
the blue dress, yes
oh, oh, and flowers in her hair
the flowers, the flowers, the flowers
the flowers, the flowers, the flowers
oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh...
the flowers

12. Sleep in Peace

In myself
I said she was the one
to go and say
wonderful things
don't you know just who she is
in there

wonder where she's gonna
take me to
to baby a
got to get there
wonder where she's gonna
take me to
hope you will find me
go...

and stop
my baby
want to know
what you want to
want to know what you are
don't stop, baby
want to know what you know
want to know what you need

I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
I just can't stand it
having to wonder
all the hanging around
oh, watching you do this and that

all the people say
what will people say
what will people say
oh no, the people say
oh, what they don't know
what they don't know

If I had a little bit of
everything you took away
I might be a very rich man
If I had a little bit of
all the things you say
oh, I could sleep in peace
