I was looking at that half-empty glass Waiting for the waiter You don't have to listen to this Tell me what to say" @SONG: University [Instrumental] @SONG: Snakeface Not another drive-in movie You know you can't sit still Move me Snake Snake Face out an open window Water in my eyes Beat me to it Meet me here next time One more button undone You talk too loud I'm talking to you Talk it into the ground Move me Snake Snake Face out an open window Fire in my eyes Beat me to it Meet me here next time One more button undone Next week I'll be a lousy liar Next time I'll say when You move me @SONG: Flood Fly, you get high, right? Fly, and you get high, right? Try, you get by all right Try and you get by all right Ryde, you're my bright light You're my bright light Oh God, I'm high Waterfalls of light Flood my eyes with light Flood my eyes with my aching eyesight My aching eyesight My aching eyes @SONG: Fever Few I break the ice I melt the snow I knew you twice Once long ago Maybe it's the fever Or the radio I hear someone singing Way down low Right now Right now You bring me water You bring me dope I don't like you But you're my only hope I'm not talking That's the radio Look at me I melt snow! Right now Right now Ride four red horses Through my room Four red horses Through my room Maybe it's the fever I'd kill to see you fly And for a glass of water Before I die How many of you are there? I see, like, three Maybe you should take this Stuff away from me Right now Right now I break the ice I melt the snow I knew you twice Once long ago And right now Right now
