A Pretty Tragedy

Oh, you’re so pretty
Oh, how they want you
Oh, in the city
Oh, in your town, too
I see your face
but your mind is far away
Oh, all the parties
Oh, all the late nights
Oh, you’re just longing
Oh, for a real life
I see your face
but your mind is far away
Hey there
Please don’t cry
Everything’s fine, girl
Dry your eyes
Pick yourself up and lay your hand on mine
Pick yourself up and lay your head near mine
Oh, you’re so pretty
Oh, and you’re smart, too
Oh, such a pity
Oh, that they’ll have you

Willy the Cat
02:27
|

|
Little old Willy
he sits in his den
keeps to himself
he has no friends
Little old Willy
prefers not to talk
he watches tv
and runs out the clock
Poor old Willy
Little old Willy
more humble than most
sets off to work
with black beans on toast
Little old Willy
loves what he does
but fears for his job
it's not what it was
Poor old Willy
Little old Willy
was once big and strong
his stories were good
and never too long
Now little willy
is saggin' and old
a little drawn out
and not quite as bold
Poor old Willy
Little old willy
is set in his ways
could make a mule blush
and set water ablaze
No longer part
of his little cat life
is his little cat den
and his little cat wife
Poor old Willy

Good and Numb
03:03
|

|
I see you as you stand there
Just take me in and let me win
Guide me through your supple lips
and I will start to win your heart
So good going down
A short blissful drown
Now you’re good and numb, my friend
I see that you’re lost again
Just hear my sound and you’ll be found
I think that you need respite
Horrid normalcy, I do agree
So good going down
A short blissful drown
Now you’re good and numb, my friend
So good going down
A short blissful drown
Now you're good and numb, my friend

Toxic Mind
03:45
|
|||
|
Toxic mind
is forever
So unkind
and so clever
All the empty thoughts
that decide how you feel
Can you even tell what’s real?
I just want to feel the way you feel
I just want to feel the way you feel
Toxic mind
has forever
made you blind
to endeavor
How obscene to think
that you world watches you
Never had to die or do
I just want to feel the way you feel
I just want to feel the way you feel
Toxic mind
let me go to sleep tonight
Toxic mind
let me go outside today
Toxic mind
let me have my sight again
Toxic mind
with me ’til the bitter end
I just want to feel the way you feel
I just want to feel the way you feel

Ordinary
03:34
|
|||
|
Watch as they flock
how captivating
It’s just a crock
I’ve seen this before
seems like a mock
it’s simply not entertaining
that walk and that talk
i’ve seen it before
years and years of hollow fads
let’s all cheer how sad
ordinary
ordinary
open their mouths
and fill them with gold and custard
now they are fat
and living so well
let’s give them our eyes
and dance to the work they’ve mustered
i tip my hat
you’re trick worked well
years and years of hollow fads
let’s all cheer how sad
ordinary
ordinary

Tell Me
03:00
|
|||
|
Tell me
about that place
the place where the sun shines
where i bask in your face
show me the sunsets
that live in your eyes
I hope we find it tonight
Don’t stop
I can’t
hear anything at all
Tell me
about that place
The place where the stars live
in infinite grace
Show me the ashes
of the loneliest nights
I hope we find it tonight
Don't stop
I can't
hear anything at all

How Strange
03:17
|
|||
|
I Pretend
to try, my friend
How strange is it to touch, to think, to feel?
How strange is it to think that you are real?
How strange?

Poor Girl
02:58
|
|||
|
Oh, poor girl
I can tell that your heart cries
It's ok
there's a smile in your eyes
Ooh
Oh, poor girl
another lonely night
it's ok
just sigh your lonely sigh
Ooh
Ooh

Magazine Lady
02:45
|
|||
|
Lick your finger, turn the page
all the words are worth the wait
A month of work is all it takes
to print and make
A dying breed, a dying job
geeks and dweebs and freaks and slobs
those who read, they like to flip and turn and talk
On and on
on and on
on and on
Now you've gone on far too long
You're the magazine lady
Almost won
Almost won
You're the magazine lady
Almost won
Almost won
Years ago you were the best
much more vibrant the rest
Now your age is showing more than you can bear
all the wrinkles on your eyes
and still you're never quite as wise
than the colors that you still pretend to wear
on and on
on and on
on and on
now you've gone on far too long
You're the magazine lady
Almost won
Almost won
You're the magazine lady
Almost won
Almost won
You're the magazine lady
Almost won
now you're gone
You're the magazine lady
Almost won
now you're gone

Not Long
02:40
|
|||
|
When you were young
All the songs that you sung
All the bells that you rung
were so tall
Wasted and gone
I know you’re not strong
I know you’re not long
for this world
for this world
soon you’ll be small
all your petals will fall
you’re sight will grow dim
and your mind will cave in
(verse)
all of those times
logic was but a rhyme
and your prose were a sign
to stand tall
wasted and gone
i know you’re not strong
i know you’re not long
for this world
for this world
(chorus)
soon you’ll be small
all your petals will fall
you’re sight will grown dim
and your mind will cave in

I Forgot
03:29
|
|||
|
I forgot
what it's like
to look into
your sleepy eyes
I forgot
my dreams of you
or maybe I
just never knew
A lullaby
that I wrote you
I forgot
I forgot
all the names
of all the months
and all the days
I can't tell time
anymore
since I forgot
that name of yours

Just for You
03:25
|
|||
|
Stars that shine just for you aren’t real
Suns that rise are for everyone to feel
What do you care
cause you can’t see
anyone else
don't look at me
Nothing to do
nothing to say
you've got nothing but you
Stars that shine just for you aren’t real
Suns that rise are for everyone to feel
Look at yourself
Look at the time
Have you ever felt
like one of a kind
Nothing to do
you've got nothing to say
you've got nothing but you

Bye Bye
05:31
|
|||
|
Bye bye ocean
Bye bye clouds
Bye bye roads and
Bye bye crowds
You’ll have a dream today
and everything will be fine
Just lay down and float away away
Bye bye water
Bye bye air
Bye bye laughter and
Bye bye cares
You’ll have a dream today
and everything will be fine
Just lay down and float away away
Close your eyes and breathe
then you’ll see what I mean
Learn to say farewell
and become someone else
