A Long, Long Time Ago

You oughta quit me, babe
A long, long time ago
A broken boy with his fingers sore
Just how you found me
I know you try
You're kind to lie
but everybody knows
You oughta quite me, babe
A long, long time ago

Make Myself New

I know you've heard all the pretty boys sing
The saddest songs they knew
Voices so confident, ready to sting
and to poison for pity what's true
But I'm singing "Brother Can You Spare a Dime"
And nobody's making a sound
So let me die with the Philistines
And I'll tear the damn building down
Oh, to leave you crying
was all I could do
No other way now
And all I want to do
Is make myself new
North facing windows don't warrant the word
The sun never shines on my eye
But I'll dance like a hippo and sing like a bird
So burdened by love from the sky
I scream and I holler what little I know
So hoarse is the ass when revealed
But all your sweet whispers came falling like snow
So to cover my desolate field
Honey I've been crying
There's nothing I can do
Don't know the way now
And all I want to do
Is make myself new

Candle Song

She said "Baby I'll light you a candle
For every night you're away
And I'll write you a song - for each day that you're gone
But I won't if you give up and stay"
"I'll leave a lit cigarette in the window
So you can find your way home.
So won't you light one for me - when you're lonesome and free
And I won't have to feel so alone"
I said "Let's drink to saccharin memories"
She said "Let's drink to wasted years"
By ten we're drinking with our enemies
Sharing all our stupid fears
She said "Don't stop to think it over
'Til you're ten miles gone
And you know that should - or I hope that you would
Just keep moving on"
And when I woke up in the morning
A little dry, but mostly fine
The wind was howling like a warning
But I had made up my mind

Clearer Skies

The only love I've ever known
Was come and gone one summer's day
The air was clean and the sun it shone
And a train it took my heart away
I read the news the day my girl
Left Manhattan and all the world
And in my dreams she flies
Far, far clearer skies
The final words we ever shared
Whispers of our wants in bed
The devil haunts my dark despair
Of all the things we could have said
I see her every day
Around what used to be our home
She seems so far away
But through these old familiar city streets
Her spirit roams
I see her on the IND
In shadows everywhere I turn
Another spirit lost at sea
And all the love for which I yearn
I move in close, she just isn't there
How I long for her in the air
But everything's broken down
She's so far underground
I see her every day
Around what used to be our home
She seems so far away
But through these old familiar city streets
Her spirit roams

Since Yesterday
01:29
|
|

It's been to long
And I can't remember all those songs
Or how to play
But Maybe it's better that way
Let's have a beer
A toast to everybody here
And to the past
We could never make it last
Since yesterday
I've been a thousand miles away
But it's alright
You know I'll be here tonight
