The hospital wouldn't admit you
So we go home again
Right back to the same old room
Right back to the same old thing
But you know you're just another girl
Come from some carry-out in hell
You're just another story how they fucked up the life
Of a sweet girl
We'll sit and look at the street
Watch the El Dorados roll by
You can't look your murderers
You can't look them in the eye
But you know they can always spot you
From a mile away
They give you anything you want
They'll do anything you say
And outside this bar there's no one alive
Outside this bar how does anyone survive
Together you and me
you know we've gotta destroy this world
C'mon darling we've gotta destroy this world
And I remember when
Your girlfriend would put you on display
You'd be the life of the party
Til they come and drag you away
But in the end we'll watch the pattern
As it begins to tear
We'll see the chaos that's underneath
All the clothes that the angels wear
And outside this bar there's no one alive
Outside this bar how does anyone survive
Together you and me
you know we'll never destroy this world
C'mon baby I wish we could destroy this world
Outside this bar
Together you and me turn this quiet night into silence
Together we'll turn this love into violence

Capp Street is an underwater cave
ThatÂ’s filled with crutches and canes
And faces that were washed away
Away from innocence and pain
They donÂ’t care who lost the one
They just wanna get the whole thing over and done
They keep me up all night
They sing songs to the moon
Wishing they could close their eyes
But theyÂ’re waiting for Jacques Cousteau
The girls outside theyÂ’re not waiting for the sun
They just wanna get the whole thing over and done
Seems like bowl history down
To a forty-five minute wait
A big boredom filled with stars
All burning with hate
Yeah we had a good time, we had some fun
And now we wanna get the whole thing over and done

I remember how I let you down
Everything you say reminds me of the pain
How you lost your dignity
Passing in and out of a dream
Is there some secret I'm supposed to know
Is there some secret I'd always miss
'Cause there's no dignity when you have to live
Within the boundaries of a kiss
And the nightwatchman
Yeah he's asleep
Nightwatchman
Oh come on tell me what's wrong
Nightwatchman
Is the night too long
Is the same lie you gave me before
I don't care anything you say is just fine
I'll just sit and watch the traffic passing by outside
The will in the world it's the prevailing tide
You're supposed to watch the night as it passes by
You're never supposed to need anyone
'Cause once I knew the secret to happiness
I knew it was oh but now it's gone
And the nightwatchman
Yeah he's asleep
Nightwatchman
I can't wake him up
Watchman
C'mon tell me what's wrong
Nightwatchman
Is the night too long

I thought there was more life than finishing a dream
I thought gravity helped you to dance
but it just makes you sink
I stand in the way of people who stopped caring
Numb hands and feet and ears long past hearing
They sing now you're defeated baby
Fall on your face in the divine way
Don't worry about anything, no
It's just the world having its little way
Justice ain't going to be yours tonight
You got a pure bright soul but Heaven don't need it
Sit on your hands and talk to the friend you never had
Angels laugh with joy and they make you scream
At the strong open crowd, want the great fight
Push up against you and then sustain the right
Now you're defeated baby
World revolves around you
Now you're defeated baby
I really showed you
Now you're defeated baby
Now that you're too big to hold
Now you're defeated baby
You're worth more to me than gold

You wonder what you want from me
Never mind
You wonder why I say the things I do
Never mind
You wonder would I waste my time
Looking for and never find
You wonder what I see in you
Never mind
Guess I could learn to stay
With those whose lives are gold
Play their game for the end
For the cold
You say "Admit to all these words"
Never mind
That I've got no conscious for this world
Never mind
You say that there's no love
That I could ever find
Okay well I just waste my time
Guess I could learn to stay
Who those who barely live
Their poor eyes only take
They never give
To all your arguments and threats
Never mind
Your hidden motives and regrets
Never mind
It doesn't matter to me
What you keep or what you leave behind
If you're a coward and you're blind
Never mind
Guess I could learn to stay
With those who understand
Play the game to win
With a losing hand

C'mon let's waste another thousand years
Sitting around your kitchen table
We'll turn the brandy into beer
Later they'll say, "what a miracle."
You say all you need is a right position
'cause nothing in this world helps you to see
You say that you never do it
Unless someone gives it to you for free
You say I never listen to you
Well you're right about that
But I thought that I love you
More than that
I know you're strong enough to live
In a world where are the magic's gone
I watch your hands tremble, you reach for another sip
Now all your luck is gone
Look at the moon ain't it pretty at night
Don't look away give it a chance for once
In it's own way it's just alive as any of us
In any way it's where you face
You say I never listen to you
Well you're right about that
But I thought that I love you
More than that

Where are all your brothers and sisters?
'Cause I hope they're not all like you
Where are all your brothers and sisters?
'Cause I get so lonely when there's just you
Why do you hate me so bad?
'Cause I was the best friend you ever had
Tell me why you gave up so easily
Yeah I guess that you just lost your head
The same water falls in lightning and snow
The same scene of failure every night
The same echoes reach me from far away
Echoes of the end and the feign in my old day
Caught a small scene on my mom's TV
She watched it when she was lonely at night
Oh God I hate you
Telling me what's gonna happen the rest of my life
The same water falls in lightning and snow
The same scene of failure every night
It's read all off of your face
It's in everything you say
Echoes in the end
And the fade of night and day
Get so lonely

Love is only a light in the sky
A shadow of a star flying by
We're so small compared to our hearts
We're so small compared to a lullaby
I didn't mean to make you cry
I'm sorry I made you cry
Did you throw away all the lives you had
All the songs, all the songs - all the lovers in your bedWe're so small compared to our hearts
We're so small compared to a lullaby
I didn't mean to make you cry
I'm sorry I made you cry
Babe, did I take more than you could give?
Did you let your soul drain through your eyes?
I'm sorry I made you cry
I'm sorry I made you cry

There's an elephant hunter
and I'm still alone on the city pier
Casting my lines as they come rollin' in off the bay
She said, 'come down, take me down again
and I'll blow your mind'
Well that's where I'll walk
That's where I'll live
When you gone away
If you're laughing at me
Well I guess I don't mind
and if you're gonna miss me
There's nothing more that you could say
It's just the conversation I'll share with myself
At the end of a night
That's where I'll walk
That's where you'll live
When I'm gone away
You got me tired
Baby why do you have to run and hide
Miss the glimmer and the sheen
Our glimmering elephantine
Elephantine
Elephantine..
Walking Tune
I can't help myself
I live in my head
Get down from the heights
I feel myself slip
Akin to my skin
I want to be happy
But how can you try
I'm in a car
You're on my left
He's on my right
My eyes on the camera
I focus on the window
and all that's outside
There's raindrops on the window
The sign in the lobby said 'there are no strangers,
just friends we haven't met'
A man wrote a letter on butcher paper
I saw him in the post office
Look up from great depths
I love you, you know that I do
I may be away but I am right here
Right here

An agony waiting for someone to tell you to shut up
But don't stop even if there's no moon to hold you
Or any other lifeless rock
I can tell you put all your hopes into the shoes you buy
Your loneliness has feet that walk it's got wings that fly
And it does sing a song
Love doesn't belong to anyone
They don't see the coffin only the nails their lights
Too bright for your home movies
They'll set you adrift disappointed and starving
But never as hungry as the sharks
Your desperate suit made out of puppet strings
doesn't last very long
Desperate in the quiet
you're sinking below mouthing the words to some
Old sixties song, a quiet song
Love doesn't belong to anyone
When you're finally silenced and led into alleys
And led into dark corners where no one can hear
Where what you say doesn't lead anywhere
but darker corners of your fear
There must be more to it
than the pilgrim's hateful dream of love and peace
I know I've had that vision too
An old key on a rusty chain of keys
A key that turns you your whole life long
Love doesn't belong to anyone

Well you don't want me to touch you
You just want me to shut up
You don't want me to think what I'm thinking
Or the devil in my throat to come up
And you get so nervous that everything's a joke
If I have to be this lonely
I may as well be alone
So I go back to my room
To my room by the freeway
I fall onto my bed like snow
Like the cold I never woke you
And the killing followed me home
Hey what's song you whistling
If I have to be this lonely
I may as well be alone
When you wake up in the morning
You won't remember that anyone was here
And that life is so rewarding
And I guess that you're the grand prize my dear
When you wake up in the morning
You won't remember that anyone was here
If I have to be this lonely
I may as well be alone

Laughing stock proves that the world is made of rock
That some grow happily on, but that's hard for some
You and your friend and
all the rest of God's sweet children
Never weak, always strong
That's hard for some
You ask me why
You're just a couple of strangers in a bar
Giving me the chance to explain myself away
Some entertainment to give away
In your eyes I see the rest of life just passes by
And that's hard for some
You ask me why
That's your alibi
Isn't everything clear
No clouds in the sky
The laughing stock proves that the world is made of rock
That's hard for some
