"Every whisper Of every waking hour, I'm choosing my confessions. Trying to keep an eye on you, Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool. Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up."

"Everyone around, love them, love them. Put it in your hands, take it, take it. There's no time to cry, happy, happy. Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines. Gold and silver shine."

"Her world collapsed early Sunday morning. She got up from the kitchen table, Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio. Those creatures jumped the barricades And have headed for the sea, sea."

"She began to breathe, to breathe at the thought of this freedom, Stood and whispered to her child, belong. She held the child and whispered With calm, calm; belong."

"This flower is scorched, this film is on, On a maddening loop, these clothes, These clothes don't fit us right and I'm to blame. It's all the same, it's all the same."

"You come to me with a bone in your hand You come to me with your hair curled tight You come to me with positions You come to me with excuses Ducked out in a row You wear me out."

"It's crazy what you could have had, It's crazy what you could have had, I need this, I need this."

"It seems a shame to waste your time on me. It seems a lot to waste your time for me. Left me to love, What it's doing to me."

"Hey kids, where are you? Nobody tells you what to do, baby. Hey kids, rock and roll, Nobody tells you where to go, baby."

"Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me, Today I need something more sub, sub, sub, substantial, A can of beans or black-eyed peas, Some Nescafe and ice, A candy bar, a falling star Or a reading from Dr. Seuss."

"When the day is long And the night, the night is yours alone, When you're sure you've had enough Of this life, well, hang on.Don't let yourself go 'Cause everybody cries. And everybody hurts, Sometimes."

"Tell me do you think it'd be all right If I could just crash here tonight? You can see I'm in no shape for driving And anyway I've got no place to go. And you know it might not be that bad, You were the best I'd ever had. If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago, I might not be alone."

"'Cause all I really want is to be with you, Feeling like I matter too. If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago, I might be here with you."

"I've lost my mind on what I'd find, And all of the pressure that I left behind On Allison Road. Fools in the rain if the sun gets through, Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew On Allison Road."

"And every day's much better Since I've slowed my drinking pace. There's no swimming in the bottle It's just someplace we all drown."

"The last horizons I could see Are now resigned to memories. I never thought I'd still be here today."

"So I guess I must have just been dreaming When I thought I heard myself say no. Anyway it looks like no one heard me, so here I go. 'Cause when you're in the company of strangers, Or just the strangers you call friends, You know before you start just how it's going to end."

"My nerves are frayed and I've had enough. I'm a lot afraid that it'll hurt too much. I can't seem to stop at all, I'm plain wore through, waiting for your call. I've been waiting around here all night long, Holding on to these memories until they come undone."

"Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down; Anyplace but those I know by heart. Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down; I'll follow you down, but not that far."

"Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand? So what the hell now, we've already been forever damned."

"It gets hard; The memory's faded. Who gets what they say? It's likely they're just jealous and jaded. Well maybe I don't want to take advice from fools. I'll just figure everything is cool Until I hear it from you."

"I wonder what you're dreaming While we're halfway 'cross this bridge. We've come too far to turn back, We're just too close to quit."

"Sometimes late at night when I'm all alone, I watch the airplane lights, make my way back home. I wonder if you're flying somewhere up in the clouds, While the rest of us are stuck here down inside the crowd."

"You're such a mystery; It's never clear to me. You're always leaving me second guessing. All I wanna know is Baby where you go. Where you been when you come up missing? Miss Disarray."

"Whispers at the bus stop. I heard about nights out in the school yard. I found out about you. Rumors follow everywhere you go. Like when you left and I was last to know. You're famous now and there's no doubt, In all the places you hang out, They know your name and know what you're about."
