You get whatcha want, it makes you feel sad And everything you got says sameness only? Too bad Sliding in and out of phase Massing mindless in a maze Nothing ventured nothing dared Fake opaque and very scared CHORUS Sliding in and out of phase Massing mindless in a maze Nothing ventured nothing dared Fake opaque and very scared CHORUS Talking to yourself it makes it kinda hard, you're always on your guard Your life is snoring Fear of extinction keeps you in the yard, you don't go out much anymore You're so boring! It's so sad Barely on the edge of blue CHeesy channel nothing new Super square and squeeky clean Happy little hygiene queen CHORUS Whatcha gonna do when it all comes true It makes you feel blue and then you get lonely? You get whatcha want, it makes you feel sad And everything you got says sameness only? Too bad...so shut up! CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Geography Gazing out the window of some big girder bird Down on mother nature's face, torn-up twisted absurd I wondered what the chances were that you Were down there looking up at me CHORUS Ah, we're as silly as geography Silly as geography You and me We just can't get it right You're a function of my latitude Let's end our little warring feud How I wish you would come home Or I'll come there to you CHORUS People will tell you what to do, where your head should be They don't tell me nothing I ain't already heard before or better said We all want focus, we crave company but We're cross-eyed and punchdrunk from too much scenery >From our battles with geography CHORUS We're a lot like real estate But the state you're in is never real It's one helluva rare raw deal How I wish you would return We're silly as geography ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Wasting Time There's a gentle artifice to loving That to it all we gently bring You know, I learned how to kiss you Watching old movies starring James Dean And the candles we light For atmosphere are mostly made in Tokyo or Taiwan Sometimes I think I love you most when you're off somewhere gone CHORUS These things take patience And good taste And a taste for wasting time I love you wasting mine You fill the empty hours just fine You know you ask for the moon, they bring you these dying stars A thousand points of blight A million unmade beds like fading smiles At least they brighten up the night for a little while A story of too much too soon and not enough Later, already begun to hate her I've seen it all before We take want and the rest we need It leaves us clamoring for more and more and more CHORUS Just wait till now becomes then You'll see how happy we were You'll concur You'll agree You'll see Listen to me In the candlelight, tonight's atmosphere You look kinda like a movie star, it's true And I gotta pinch myself to make sure you're still here You're my favorite thing, my favorite thing to do ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Incredible Bittersweet Incredible bittersweet, I know you well We're victims of a dual complicity Villains and heroes, battlescarred and beaming Taking chances, bought and sold, still scheming Pretty over the loin, with such a bad disposition Aucitioned off to an eager stranger innocent of the danger Incredible bittersweet, I know you well And I've made your apologies, made your apologies Incredible bittersweet, I could paint you a picture In black and white, black on white, white on black But I take it all back...I think I'd just paint it grey Incredible bittersweet I know you'd love it anyway A little tale Happiness is a hermit that lives on a hill and speaks to no one Joy is the money that he buries in the yard and forgets where it is He dies and all the neighbors of the world come digging, finding nothing But at least they had their little daydream Incredible bittersweet, I know you well We're grifters of a grim duality; goodness in evil Shuffling shards and dealing All the dances, never sure who's leading A flipping up of the coin-with such a sick sense of humor Bluffing illusion of choice in choosing, betting it all and losing Incredible bittersweet, we've gone to hell And I make no apologies, make no apologies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Scarlett Falling like leaves from porcelain trees We break Shattered by the weight of the fall Love is Scarlett down the stairs Pushed or fallen, fallen or shoved Arching in the air, promised or poisoned But always loved Despair versus desire This game What loss, what gain? Whose fault? Where to blame? Everything you say to me STrikes me like a warm disease Damage is a luxury Dereliction by degrees Everything you say to me Damage is a luxury Dereliction by degrees What attracts excites us to the point of distraction- to the edge of dislike Everything you say to me Strikes me like a warm disease Danger is a luxury Drown me in your darling seas Saw a horse the other day with one eye and I thought How nice to see only one side of it all Love is Scarlett down the stairs Pushed or fallen, fallen or shoved Arching through the air, promised or poisoned But always loved ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Trip Me Up I could kick myself for leaving you But then I guess I already have at least a thousand times Ah, this endless parade of mimes Lonely hearts and fools who wanna put themselves off On anyone as a pice of sun A ray of light in every seedy starless night I could kill myself for loving you But then everyone knows I will if I go out tonight Ah, the hateful eyes of hindsight Haunting how-it-will-be's I'm gonna wrap myself around osme young thing like a piece of string A ball of twine Like sunshine I fell for you And I'm still falling whenn I hit the bottom, I will bounce back up You trip me up I could kick myself for leaving you But then I guess I already have at least a thousand times I fell for you And I'm still falling When I hit the bottom, will I bounce back up You trip me up I fell for you, and I'm still falling ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: La Dulcinea There's no sense in coming to your senses Our best ideals walk on barbed-wire fences All blood runs thin when reality dispenses Tall tales unfold And peasant becomes princess CHORUS We don't all have vision but some of us can see The sweet dulcinea rapt in everything I've made my decision; delirious and free We don't all have vision but some of us can see I saw you there Winnowing the black wheat, singing a dry dusty song Flat as the hulls at your feet Mi Aldonza In your hardened features Nothing replete, neither coy nor splendid All rags and cursing in the white heat Conoci con mi aldonza y yo no la queria Traigame mi guia Get me far from this place But oh too late, too familiar Leave me linger with this dark face CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: My Dead Friend There were fireflies keeping the moon company I was listening to Ricky Lee, some song about sad young men CHORUS A chainsaw buzzed when I died I cried seven minutes for you, seven long drawn sixty-second sobs Grief, a simple thing; add water to the sorrow and wait Darkness precipitate, ruin my room and wet my face CHORUS Is it really funny how time flies by? You'd know that better than I, my dead friend Stepping out the door, through the trees A single light ANd I heard the sound, some greatness crashing down over the rise CHORUS Is it really funny how time flies by? You'd know better than I, my dead friend Ice skating in an hour glass, waiting for it all to pas My dead friend CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Pain (Makes You Beautiful) Pain makes you beautiful I give you what you want, the pain and the pleasure I'm no good for you But then you're no good for yourself I bring you pain Pain makes you beautiful I'm no good for you You're no good for yourself Strange and it's wonderful How you tell me what you need, the joy and the treasure Of pain's guilty pleasure Love's pressure painfully No sorrow tied Tied to my hurting you We delight in every torture I put you through How did we find this place This state where we satiate, where pain makes you beautiful Where you're no good for yourself No sorrow tied Tied to my hurting you To the compromising position, to all the painful things I do Pain makes you beautiful I give you what you want, the pain and the pleasure I'm no good for you, but then you're no good for youself ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Eric Wincentsen 267@ef.gc.maricopa.edu Glendale Community College Glendale, Arizona "I'm just marking my territory..."
