Lyrics
Every Time You Go Somewhere
| 1. | San Cristobal | San Cristobal
I have not been writing
that many new songs how I wish I could stay longer how I wish I'd never gone You have not been writing me as often as I wished and sometimes I think I left you just to see if I'd be missed I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall in a crowded market place in a town I can't recall and the teller told me that I would be young and I would fall but my new friends all assured me that it all was surely false Back at home, you found religion in a dirty crystal ball in the back of a dollar store in that shopping mall I found religion out in San Cristobal now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call I have not been writing as often as I'd hoped but there are some things you're good at and then some you can't control You have not been visiting I can't say that I mind 'Cause every time you go somewhere you leave somewhere behind I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall in a crowded market place in a town I can't recall and the teller told me that I would be young and I would fall but I didn't think he meant so soon so soon at all Back at home, you found religion in a dirty crystal ball in the back of a dollar store in that shopping mall I found religion out in San Cristobal now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call So I'm calling now but it says I don't got the number right Your body looks to me a way it never has before and is this what's making you so sad, and what you did this for? She said, your body looks to me a way it never has before and is this what's making you so sad, and I can't do this anymore I found religion in a dirty bathroom stall in the back of a liquor store in that mini mall you found religion when you realized you could fall now you say that you've come far enough to give me a call So you're calling now, but I lie and I tell you that I moved Everything's brand new. |

| 2. | Watercolors | Watercolors
I would have meant it if I'd said it
but I didn't think to say it at the time And you never really said it with your mouth, and only one time with your eyes And you would get it if you get it 'cause I know that you're the type who gets it when they get it and they always get it right I hate that type Now I am sitting in your bed in your bedroom with my new homework machine I am playing with your cat with bits of string and I am waiting patiently You are out with a woman at exhibits about people like me I don't get it Because you don't like art you just buy and sell and you wouldn't give it up if you were getting it well, so I brought this on myself I can't say I disagree you take that woman to exhibits about people like me I am at home with my watercolors filling in my life with you, my life without I am at home with my watercolors while you are out I would have meant it if I'd said it but I didn't think to say it and I'm shy so I hid inside my tee shirt and I looked the other way when you walked by I gathered up my things and I dusted off my bike and I found a quiet place where I could sit and I could write and I wrote this And you would get it if you get it 'cause I know that you're the type who gets it when they get it and they never have to write it on paper not on paper but you never got it, never! not to tell you the truth because you show up to my shows and think I'm singing about you when I'm not I don't get it 'Cause you don't like art you just buy, buy, sell and you wouldn't give it up if you were getting it well, so I brought this on myself I can't say I disagree you bring that woman to my concert and she tells you that she likes me I am at home with my watercolors filling in my life with you, my life without I am at home with my watercolors while you are out All my friends and the issues that we face you want to stick us in a box put us in our place or maybe hang us on a wall then leave me out to dry was I too much of a freak or was I just too much alive I am at home with my watercolors filling in my life with you, my life without I am at home with my watercolors blotting it out |
Goodnight Sugarpop
| 1. | Cut it off | Cut it off
If I had my way
every day would be my day I would ask you out you would say "okay!" and I'd come get you at 8 8 'o clock right on the dot 'cause sometimes when i am late then i can't get you to talk and it ruins our whole date and if i had my way we'd go out every night it'd be perfect every time and we'd never ever fight you know, you used to call me up when you were high and I never ever asked you so you never told me why your hair is green, your hair is pink my head is young my heart can't think I drive my car, I ride the bus I stay too long I ask too much Your hair was black 'til it was blue i always had a crush on you you dye it back when you need to i'm still deciding what to do but if i had my way, i would ask you to the prom you would want to meet my mom and you wouldn't even tease me for rhyming words in my songs 'cause i wrote those songs about you but i hope you understand that they were actually about me and i hope that you're not mad cause if i had my way you'd kiss me on the lips and you'd wear that dress you like and i'd wear the suit that fits but when you lie to me you know it makes me sick 'cause your phone didn't die, but your soul did. (chorus) 'cause i wrote those songs about you but I hope you understand they were actually about me and i hope that you're not mad 'cause i wrote those songs about you but you'd better understand they were actually about me and I don't care if you're mad that I wrote those songs about you and I play them at my shows that I write these songs about you and I make sure that you know that I write these songs about you that I play these songs about you that I sing these songs about you that I mean these songs about you that I write these songs- that I write these songs; Goddamn, I'll write these songs Your hair was black til it was blue just cut it off if you want to I couldn't care less what you do |

| 2. | Dysmorphic | Dysmorphic
I packed my overnight bag a year beforethey say "everyone's waiting for something" this is what I have been searching for do not call the doctors they won't tell you a thing do not call my father as if he knew how I was doing Bandages all around, jello running down your chest hope for the best This is not what I had expected You were not the person I projected on you from the start Now my nerves are a bowl full of porridge drive the last nail and close up this casket and I know it's dramatic but baby, I'm manic and the verdict of late is dysmorphic Like I could be better Like I could be better, I swear and if I develop infection I will scratch you right out of my skin if I come home looking different please do not ask me where I have been I was there, under my skin everything I knew that I would have been for you were there, under my skin everything I did that I'd do again everything I did, oh, I'd do again and again 'cause I could be, I could be better I could be better, I swear I packed my overnight bag a year before they say "everyone's waiting for something" I don't want to wait anymore. |

| 3. | Hypocrite | Hypocrite
I do not smoke cigarettes
I told him with conviction 'cause I've always been asthmatic and I don't support addiction he said, but I always roll my own I said, but I still think that you're a poser He said, I don't sleep in parking lots I've always been a fighter I said that sounds pretty easy when you've got a warm recliner in your parents living room when where you are is where they'll pay the rent and for all your liberating an the lives you say you're saving one would think you would be half as full of shit and for all the rules you're breaking and the progress that you're making I could do without that breed of anarchist I could do without that breed of politic I could do without that breed of hypocrite I could do much more without the likes of this He said, I'll be on that picket line for equality but I hope everyone looks like me and does not treat me differently I said, God damn, you hypocrite he said, I do not take that name so lightly I said, I don't sleep in parking lots I've always been resistant he said, that sounds pretty easy would you just shut up and kiss me I said, aw man, you're no feminist he said, I do not use that word so slightly and for all your liberating an the lives you say you're saving one would think you would be half as full of shit and for all the rules you're breaking and the precedents you're making I could do without that breed of anarchist I could do without that breed of politic I could do without that breed of hypocrite I could do much more without the likes of this |
