1. _ Parakeet
(buck/mills/stipe)
You wake up in the morning
And fall out of your bed
Mean cats eat parakeets
And this one's nearly dead
You dearly wish the wind would shift
And greasy windows slide
Open for the parakket
Who's colored bitter lime
Open the window
To lift into a dream
Baby, baby
You can barely breathe
A broken wrist
An accident
You know that something's wrong
You fold the leavings of your past
No one knows you've gone
The sunspot flares of the early
Nineties light up your wings
And scan the shortwave radio
It's tracking outer rings
(chorus)
Open the window
To lift into a dream
Baby, baby
You can start to breathe
The tectonic dispatcher shifts
To smooth the ocean floor
And flattens out to warmer winde
Of brisbane's sunny shore
Where buddhas tend to mending wrists
A tea made from the leaves
Of eucalyptus fragances
And coriander seeds
(repeat chorus 2x)
You wake up in the morning
To warm pacific breeze
Where mean cats chew on licorice
And cannot climb the trees

2. _ 11
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
This world is big and so-awake
I stayed up late to hear your voice
This light is here to keep you warm
This song is here to keep you strong
I made a list of things to say
But all i really want to say
All i really want to say is
Hold her and keep him strong
While i'm away from here
Hold her and keep her strong
While i'm away from here
Hold her and keep him strong
While i'm away from here
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold her
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold him
Hold her and keep her strong
While i'm away from here
Hold him and keep him strong
While i'm away from here

4. _ Lotus
(buck/mills/stipe)
I was hell
Sarcastic silver swell
That day it rained
Tough spun. hard won. no
Ocean flower aquarium
Badlands. give a hand
Honey dipt. flim flam
Hey hey. hey hey
That cat can walk like a big bad man
So happy to show us
I ate the lotus
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus
Storefront window, i reflect
Just last week i was merely heck
Tip the scale. i was hell
Picked me up, then i fell
Who's this stranger? crowbar spine
Da, da, da, and i feel fine
Let it rain, rain, rain (rain)
Bring my happy back again
So happy to show us
I ate the lotus
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus
I ate the lotus
Let it rain, rain, rain (rain)
Save me from myself again
Wash away my ugly sins
Opposing thumb, dorsal fin
That monkey died for my grin
Bring my happy back again
Let it rain (rain), rain, rain (rain)
Bring my happy back again
So happy to show us
I ate the lotus
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus
I ate the lotus
I ate the lotus

5. _ Wait
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
You got your problems darling
I got mine too
You know that
Maybe it's time for you to come through
Because i'm fed up with waiting for you
Won't you decide real fast
What are you gonna do?
I've almost given up hope
Then what else is new?
You know that
I'm at the end of my rope trying to hang on to you
Because my patience is wearing thin just waiting for you
Won't you decide real fast
What are you gonna do
You better wait (wait!)
Don't go away now darling, wait (wait!)
Why don't you stay?
You better wait (wait!)
Don't go away now, wait (wait!)
Why don't you stay?
(chorus)
I know that you're confused
It's no crime
You better hurry sugar
Cuz we're running out of time
Because my patience is wearing thin just waiting for you
Won't you decide real fast
What are you gonna do?
(repeat chorus)
I don't wanna walk on the same stage with you
Then the bells begin to blow in my head
If things don't turn out right
It's gonna be all right

6. _ Chance
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Chance, chance, chance, chance
Friday bank card yours got stuck
I loaned you a phone quarter, said "good luck"
Where are you now?
Me and glasses saturday slump
You and your shopping, i looked up
Our eyes met, mine are green
You'd had a peroxide thing
Call now, look me up
Sunday walk, weaver's park,
I was on the lakeside
Where the playgrounds meet
In bare feet
You said, "mighty cold today"
You never see what i think
You didn't like your daytime job
I was born to travel
You were a camera, i dropped my keys
I'm on the northbound, you were asleep
I said, "are you holding?"
"you wanna ride the silent sky?"
I wrote a story on the fly
You in the tabletop
I said, "i've had enough of the city."
I held a bag of apples
You at the last table
I had had a soy dog
Cafe streetside, tuesday bloom
You wanna be on fire, i said i hung the moon
Wednesday grocery, corner of vine,
You were in the checkout line
I dropped my frozen dinners, you helped pick them up
Thursday cab rush, our block,
You with broken accent, my heart stopped
You laughed, i worry
Chance, chance, chance, chance
Swarming like a dozen crushing blows
All those glances, midtime dances
Chance
I never looked it up
You hit the sidewalk talking
Said, "i'd read the ads"
Do you?
Where are you? will you read this? can i see?
This is surely moving faster than i can think
A minute shy, a passing eye
I know i saw you there
Will you read this? can i see? what did i see?
Chance, chance, chance, chance
Swimming like a dozen crushing blows
All those midtime dances
Chance
Guys, this is very tedious... stop!

7. _ Lisa Sez
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Too, too, took her so long
I was only having fun
I guess i'm really hung
I guess you'd better run
That's what lisa said
While you running all over town
Why don't you settle down
I told her we were just friends
She believed it till the end
(chorus)
That's what lisa said
That's what she said
She's a (cherry?) now
She put me on her
She put you on trial
No, i'm in her
Too, too, took her so long
I was only having fun
I guess i'm not so hung
I guess you'd better run

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Baby, i don't want to be seen with you
Baby, i got better things to do
Baby, i don't wanna hang around with you
Baby, i got better things to do
Cause i know you're out with other guys
Well i know you're goin' to tell me lies
Baby, i should have held you when i had the chance
Baby, i could have blew it when i never learned how to dance
Well i know you're out with other guys
And i know you're gonna tell me lies

I'm hoping you won't come back
Cause if you do i'll wanna die

Well, i you're gonna tell me lies
Baby, i should have held you when i had the chance
Baby, i blew it when i never learned how to dance
Well, i know you're out with other guys
And i know you're gonna tell me lies

9. _ Hope
(buck/mills/stipe/leonard cohen)
You want to go out friday
And you want to go forever
You know that sounds childish
That you've dreamt of alligators
You hope that we are with you
And you hope you're recoginezed
You want to go forever
You see it in my eyes
I'm lost in the confusion
And it doesn't seem to matter
You really can't believe it
And you hope it's getting better
You want to trust the doctors
Their procedure is the best
But the last try was a failure
And the intern was a mess
And they did the same to matthew
And he bled 'til sunday night
They're saying don't be frightened
But you're weakened by the sight of it
You lock into a pattern
And you know that it's the last ditch
You're trying to see through it
And it doesn't make sense
But they're saying don't be frightened
And they're killing alligators
And they're hog-tied
And accepting of the struggle
You want to trust religion
And you know it's allegory
But the people who are followers
Have written their own story
So you look up to the heavens
And you hope that it's a spaceship
And it's something from your childhood
You're thinking don't be frightened
You want to climb the ladder
You want to see forever
You want to go out friday
And you want to go forever
And you want to cross your dna
To cross your dna with something reptile
And you're questioning the sciences
And questioning religion
You're looking like an idiot
And you no longer care
And you want to bridge the schism,
A built-in mechanism to protect you
And you're looking for salvation
And you're looking for deliverance
You're looking like an idiot
And you no longer care
'cause you want to climb the ladder
You want to go forever
And you want to go out friday
You want to go forever

10. _ Daysleeper
(buck/mills/stipe)
Receiving department, 3 a.m.
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
Directives are posted
No callbacks, complaints
Everywhere is calm
Hong kong is present
Taipei awakes
All talk of circadian rhythm
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper
The bull and the bear are marking
Their territories
They're leading the blind with
Their international glories
I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, i work at night
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me with so much
Daysleeper
They cried the other night
I can't even say why
Fluorescent flat caffeine lights
Its furious balancing
I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, i work at night
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me with so much
Don't wake me with so much. the
Ocean machine is set to 9
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
My bed is pulling me,
Gravity
Daysleeper, daysleeper
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper

11. _ Narrator
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
When i was watching tv back in 73
A skinny old man sure appealed to me
His name by now, i'm sure you know
The man who played a starring role in jacques cousteau
Oh, i
And ever since then i've written the dude
Dreaming of swimming around the
Coral reef
I'd even bought my camera and my scuba gear
If only jacques had called to stop a career
Oh, i
(chorus)
I wanna be a narrator
I wanna be a narrator (i wanna be a narrator)
For the jacques cousteau show
For the jacques cousteau show (for the jacques cousteau show)
Swimming under water with my microphone
I'd record noises in the aqua-zone
Chasing down the killer whale that's eating our crew
Just to bring the story facts back to you
Oh, i
(repeat chorus)
I've written the networks, sent my picture too
Done everything i could possibly do
I've given up trying to get through to him
Maybe he knows i don't know how to swim
Oh, i
(repeat chorus)

12. _ Photograph
(berry/buck/mills/stipe/natalie merchant)
I found this photograph,
Underneath the broken picture glass
Tender face of black and white,
Beautiful, a haunting sight
Looked into an angel's smile,
Captivated all the while
From the hair and clothes she wore,
I'd place her in between the wars
Was she willing when she sat
And posed the pretty photograph?
Save her flowering and fair,
The days to come, the days to share
A big smile for the camera,
How did she know?
The moment could be lost forever
Forever more
I found this photograph,
Stashed between the old joist walls,
In a place where time is lost,
Lost behind, where all things fall
Broken books and calendars,
Letters script in careful hand,
Music too, a standard tune by
Some forgotten big brass band
From the threshhold what's to see
Of our brave new century?
The television's just a dream,
The radio, the silver screen
A big smile for the camera,
How did she know?
The moment could be lost forever
Forever more
Was her childhood filled with rhymes,
Stolen hooks, impassioned crimes?
Was she innocent or blind
To the cruelty of her time?
Was she fearful in her day,
Was she hopeful, did she pray?
Were there skeletons inside,
Family secrets, sworn to hide?
Did she feel the beat that stirs,
The fall from grace of wayward girls?
Was she tempted to pretend,
The love and laughter, 'til the end?

13. _ Fretless
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
He's got his work and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, i think i got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son
The die has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun
I couldn't admit to a minute of fun
(chorus 1)
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no need to speak
Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell
Tether that ring and phrase
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what i ate
And i don't hate him
And i don't hate her
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak
(chorus 2)
(don't talk to me)
Don't talk to me about being alone
(don't talk to me)
Don't talk to me about being alone
(don't talk to me)
Don't talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace with a e-a-c
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease
Don't threaten me with angry
Please, please, please
Don't try to tell me what i am
(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2)
(talk to me)
Don't talk to me
(talk to me)
Don't talk to me

Don't talk to me

14. _ Diminished
(buck/mills/stipe)
I watched you fall
I think i pushed
Maybe i'm crazy
Maybe diminished
Maybe i'm innocent
Maybe i'm finished
Maybe i blacked out
How do i play this?
I will give my best today
I will give myself away
I have never hurt anything
Is the jury wavering?
Do they know i sing?
Maybe i'm crazy
Maybe diminished
How do i
How do i play this?
Jealous lover, self desense
Protective brother, chemical dependence
I'll consult the i-ching
I'll consult the tv
Ouija, oblique strategies
I'll consult the law book for precedents
Can i charm the jury?
(chorus)
I will give my best today
I will give myself away
I have never hurt anything
Is the justice wavering?
Does she know i sing
That song?
Sing along (i will never hurt anything)
Sing along (i will never hurt anything)
Sing along (i will never hurt anything)
I watched you fall
I think i pushed
Maybe they'll see me
Maybe they'll say,
"i can see the truth in his statement
Smallpox blanket? no way"
Can i charm the jury, my defense?
Maybe i'm crazy
Maybe diminished
Maybe i loved you
Baby i loved you
Baby i loved you
Baby i'm finished
(repeat chorus)
I have given myself away
I have given my best today
I have never hurt anything
Is the justice wavering?
Does she know i loved you?
Does she know i loved you?

15. _ Sheherazade
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
You say you make her feel all right
She says she wants you, but not tonight
You know the girl is telling lies
You try some magic in her eye
When you not there other guys come sticking around
And when you ask her what's going on
She'll only push you around
Say you don't want to talk about it
She'll tell you stories, she can bet
You know the girl, she's telling lies
You try some magic in her eyes
(chorus)
But when you're not there other guys come sticking around
When you ask her what's going on
She'll only push you around
Put you down
You can say what you want
But she's sheherazade
And you don't mind
And you call when she calls
You pay the price
You're bound to fall
And all the lies don't matter at all
You say you don't want to talk about it
She'll tell you stories
You can die
You know the girl is telling lies
You try some magic in her eye
(repeat chorus)
You can say what you want
She's sheherazade

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
A public service announcement followed me home the other day,
I bade it nevermind, go away
The shit's so thick, you could stir it with a stick,
The paper wouldn't lie, we assume the loss to mankind and gloat and jeer with it
Broadcast me a joyful noise into the times, lord,
Count your blessings, ignore the lowest fear, well you can't sandblast glisten
Radio no, play the game, three words, first one short,
Magazine, book, cinema, n - o - down,
Many fears are gone, step down, step down,
Watch a heel crush, ah, this means war
I saw the light, it can't be right
Broadcast me a joyful noise into the times, lord,
Count your blessings, ignore the lowest fear, well you can't sandblast

It's been a bad day, please don't take my picture,
It's been a bad day, please
It's been a bad day, please don't take my picture,

A public service announcement followed me home the other day,
I bade it nevermind,

The paper wouldn't lie, we assume the loss to mankind and gloat and jeer with it

Broadcast me a joyful noise into the times, lord,
Count your blessings, ignore the lowest fear, come one, what more?

19. _ Sad Professor
(buck/mills/stipe)
If we're talking about love
Then i have to tell you
Dear readers, i'm not sure where i'm headed
I've gotten lost before
I've woke up stone drunk
Face down in the floor
Late afternoon, the house is hot
I started, i jumped up
Everyone hates a bore
Everybody hates a drunk
This may be a lit invention
Professors muddled in their intent
To try to rope in followers
To float their malcontent
As for this reader,
I'm already spent
Late afternoon, the house is hot
I started, i jumped up
Everyone hates a sad professor
I hate where i wound up
Dear readers, my apologies
I'm drifting in and out of sleep
Long silence presents the tragedies
Of love. note the age. get afraid
The surface hazy with attendant thoughts
A lazy eye metaphor on the rocks
Late afternoon, the house is hot
I started, i jumped up
Everyone hates a bore
Everybody hates a drunk
Everyone hates a sad professor
I hate where i wound up
I hate where i wound up

22. _ Walk Unafraid
(buck/mills/stipe)
As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think
Long ago i was broght into this life, a liitle lamb
A little lamb
Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle name
But somewhere there i
Lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they've laid
They claim to
(chorus)
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me
High
Say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play"
Say "contradiction only makes it harder"
How can i be
What i want to be?
When all i want to do is strip away
These stilled constraints
And crush this sharade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
(repeat chorus)
If i have a bag of rocks to carry as i go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what i have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
Look me in the eye
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when i fall to

Nothing too deep

That i never had an opportunity
To hide
No, i never had a chance

Let the music carry you away

My sights are limited
Am i sensing a familiar twinge?
Please, don't speak
Make me think

Living in cities, living in cars
Living the way you never wanted to
Living in alleys, living it down
Living the way you always thought you'd do
Shakin' it up shakin' it down
Shakin' the way you never wanted to
Living in cities, living in cars
Living the way you always thought
You'd do
You feel so old, i feel so new
Tell me what you want me to
Do you want me to go all night
Do you want me to tell you you're all
Right
Living in cities, living in cars
Living the way you never wanted to
Lord, i feel so new
Tell me what you want me to do
And it's a mystery to me
And it's a mystery to me
Well your trying, trying to look so hard
But you want, but you want, but you want to go
Living in cities, living in cars
Living the way you never wanted to
Shakin' it up, shaking it down
Shakin' the way you always thought you'd do
You feel so old, i feel so new
Tell me what you want me to do

27. _ Falls To Climb
(buck/mills/stipe)
I'll take the position
Assume the missionary part
You work by committee,
You had me pegged from the start
I'll be pounce pony,
Phony maroney,
Pony before the cart
I'll be pounce pony
This ceremony
Only fills my heart
Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?
A punch toy volunteer
A weakling on its knee
Is all you want to hear
And all you want to see
Romantically, you'd martyr me
And miss this story's point
It is my strenght, my destiny
This is the role that i have chosen
(chorus)
Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me? why not me?
Gentlemen mark your opponents
Fire into your own ranks
Pick the weakest as strategic
Move. square off. to
Meet your enemy
For each and every gathering
A scapegoat falls to climb
As i step forward, silently
Deliberately mine
(repeat chorus)
Had consequence chose differently
Had fate its ugly head
My actions make me beautiful
And dignify the flesh
Me. i am free, i am free

28. _ It's A Free World Baby
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
I was hungry when i said
I never got to sleep
You go ahead
You can get whatever you want
There's a feeling in my belly
The new tomorrow scene
It's an interesting job
It's the fireworks
(chorus 1)
I don't need it (i don't need it)
I hit my head (he hit his head)
I can't feel anything
You gave too much away
You came to say
It's a free world baby
And you gave too much away
Hey, hey
Get whatever you want
Get whatever you want
Me, i'm tired of this candy
My teeth ache my head
Boys in bed, girls in bed
All now go to sleep
Sleep, sweet dreams
Wake to a new today tomorrow
(repeat chorus 1)
It's a free world baby
Get whatever you want
Get whatever you want
(chorus 2)
Boys in bed, girls in bed
All now go to sleep
Sleep, sweet dreams
Wake to a new today tomorrow
Sleep, sweet dreams
Wake to a new today tomorrow
(repeat chorus 1)
It's a free world baby
It's a free world baby
(repeat chorus 2)

29. _ I'm Not Over You
(buck/mills/stipe)
I feel great. i lied to save your feelings.
Truth convened, my head smashed through the celling
I lost an arm, no one harmed, you diplomatically alarmed
I sulked away to lick my thin skin
I'm not over you, i'm not over you, i'm not over you

30. _ A Girl Like You
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
I get so disturbed, i'm all alone
I feel so funny talking on the phone
I fall apart when i hear you speak
Believe me girl, i just feel weak
I wonder how i got involved with a girl like
You want to tell me that i'm not you're kind of guy
You break the news and i break down and cry, i cry
You're having fun, well that's all right
I'm too weak to put up a fight
I wish you'd just tell what was wrong
Instead of leading my on
I get so disturbed when i'm all alone
I feel so funny talking on the phone
I fall apart when i hear your speak
Believe me girl, i just feel weak
I wish you'd just tell me what was wrong
Instead of leading me on
I try to call
(call on the phone)
I try to call
(but nobody's home)
I wonder why
(you lead my along)
I wonder how i got involved with a girl like you

31. _ All The Right Friends
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
I know you say
Maybe some day
I need never be alone
I know i say
It's the right way
But you'll never be the one
I've been walking alone
For a long long, long time
I don't wanna hang out now
With the folks that just don't mind
While you party
You've been looking
But your searching never ends
You've been saying
With the wrong crowd
You've got all the right friends
(chorus 1)
I've been walking alone
For a long, long time
I don't gotta hang out
With the friends that just aren't mine
(chorus 2)
I don't wanna be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore
I don't wanna be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore
I know you say
Maybe some day
I need never be alone
I know i say it's the right way,
But you'll never be alone
(repeat chorus 1)
I don't wanna be with you anymore
I just don't want you anymore
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I don't like your way you walk anyhow
(repeat chorus 2)

Wait for dawn and dawn shall come

33. _ Dangerous Times
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
These are dangerous times
Nothing to care or die for
These are dangerous times
What you want, someone will buy for you
Don't get away
It's so easy to wait
You've been wearing the green
I've been wearing the fall
And you said that all was just agreed
(chorus)
Don't get away
Don't get away
I saw a guy out on the street
Said, i know what you need, boy
I can set you fine
I didn't buy his line, because
These are dangerous times
I don't want to get old
You say that everything's fine
Then you leave me standing in the cold
(repeat chorus)
It's so easy to fall
You've been trying to gain
I've been trying to stop
But it's catching up with me again
(repeat chorus)
These are dangerous times
It's a dangerous time
Don't get away (it's a dangerous time)
Don't get away (it's a dangerous time)
Don't get away (it's a dangerous time)

34. _ You're In The Air
(buck/mills/stipe)
You wanted a challenge that's calling you higher
I landed on my feet by crawling
I remember standing alone trying to forget you idling
I hate to admit that that's my reference point
But there it is you say you want me
I'm what you found, i'm upside down
You're in the air, you're in the air and i am breathing
Brighten the stars
The weather is lifting the heavens love a love like this
It's pulling you higher twist it and turn this around
It lights from within it dribbles your chin
Now brings a smile, i'm lost again
I'm lost again
I'm what you found, i'm upside down
You're in the air, you're in the air and i am breathing you
I want the stars to know they've won if only to beguile
The sky has opened up again in heavens reconciled
I want you naked, i want you wild, i want the stars to know they win
Give me that smile, just give it me, just turn it on, i'm lost again
I'm what you found, i'm upside down
You're in the air
I'm what you found, i'm upside down
You're in the air
I'm what you found, i'm upside down
You're everywhere, you're in the air and i am breathing you

35. _ At My Most Beautiful
(buck/mills/stipe)
(chorus)
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile
I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
You always listen carefully
To awkward rhymes
You always say your name,
Like i wouldn't know it's you,
At your most beautiful
(repeat chorus)
At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes, secretly
With every one, whisper i love you
I let you sleep
I know you're closed eye watching me,
Listening
I thought i saw a smile
(repeat chorus)

36. _ Permanent Vacation
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get
(chorus)
I'm on a permanent vacation
Nothing left to move
I want a revelation
Nothing left to prove
I could take it with me
Leave you all behind
Got some kind of feeling
Burnin' on my mind
Sleeping late in the morning
Stay out all night long
Every day is like the one before
I'm going wrong
I'm going wrong
(repeat chorus)
There's only one thing you can do
This i gotta do, oh, oh, oh
I got nothing to win, nothing to lose
Nothing left to prove
One thing to do
Well, i'm on a permanent vacation
I'm on a permanent vacation
I'm on a permanent vacation
Permanent vacation

37. _ Theme From Two Steps Onward
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
If you hear this, look again
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a shadow to this boy
A penny on it's side
Write a letter, give a call
Let me know you're alive
And doing well
A quarter past three
The quarter you live in haunts my eyes
I'm hand over head
I'm held over hand
I'm hand over head over heels over you
(chorus)
Write a letter, give a call
Let me know you're alive
And doing well
It's everything for two
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a shadow to this boy
A quarter past three
A quarter past
The quarter you live in haunts my eyes
I'm hand over head
I'm held over hand
I'm hand over head over heels over you, you, you
(repeat chorus)
I'll give you a kiss
I'll give you a hug
I'll tell you a secret that's no lie
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a shadow
Don't be a shadow to this boy
Don't be a shadow to this boy
Don't be a shadow to this boy

38. _ The Great Beyond
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that i have seen
I can't believe that i believed i wished
That you could see
There's a new planet in the solar system
There's nothing up my sleeve
(chorus 1)
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And i don't want to stay around
Why can't we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet
(repeat chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon
(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2 2x)
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great, answers from the great
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great, answers from the great, answers
