My Friends 04:03
My friends, swallowing pills Digging their graves, signing their wills My friends, eyes are so big Taking the bottle just as a swig My friends, like to play rough Confusing the truth with college aged lust My friends, can't hear my words And I don't listen to them anymore We We are young Younger than anyone Maybe too free Freer than anybody My friends drive in fast cars Wondering where they got those scars My friends, they love to play So hard it's tough to remember today My friends, take it too far Open their veins and pour in that tar My friends count their days Waiting for times when they aren't afraid We We were young Younger than anyone Maybe too free Freer than anybody Waiting for the next time they'll get paid Waiting for the next time they'll get laid Waiting for their ride of life to end Waiting for the time they'll say when we were friends Maybe too free Freer than anybody We We were young Younger than anyone Maybe too free Freer than anybody

Lulu's in the basement getting painted with a needle And Max is back in town Sammy's wearing lipstick handing out kisses Singing hard underground Fashion's at the bottom of your parents closet Make it work if you know how Supersonicphiladelic Is the world's new sound If you need a change of scene Catch a greyhound To the supersonic town Tina's in the lanes dancing with the girlies Paul's yelling at himself Gibby's on the beach with the kiddos on a leash Teaching 'em how not to sell out Fifteen kids in a photo booth Fighting for the light Supersonicphiladelic's What we need tonight If you need a change of scene There's a playground Called the supersonic town And we all go no no no no no We're not ready to go go go go go And we all go no no no no no We're not ready to go go go go go If you need a change of scene Catch a greyhound to the supersonic town And we all need a change of scene There's a playground called the supersonic town And we all go no no no no no We're not ready to go go go go go And we all go no no no no no We're not ready to go go go go go And we all go no no no no no We're not ready to go go go go go And we all go no no no no no We're not ready to go go go go go

Letters you've sent to me line the drawers Poems of the past You feel the same, you never change Found love that can relax Oh no Oh no Shifting in my sleep Finding weak knees where they shouldn't be Mind's wandering away Ay ay Ay ay Ay ay Ay ay There's no reason for my lost mind I'm searching everyday Friends lift glasses and smile with their eyes They think I've gone astray Oh no Oh no Shifting in my sleep Finding weak knees where they shouldn't be Mind's wandering away Whispering to the moon Praying is something I used to do Not anymore I have to say Maybe I'll find something to change my mind Before it's too late And I've jumped the gun I've jumped the gun I've jumped the gun I've jumped the gun And I've jumped the gun Jumped the gun Jumped the gun Jumped the gun And I jumped the gun And I jumped the gun And I jumped the gun Jumped the gun The gun The gun The gun The gun

Time's Up 04:05
I'm not your little girl I'm sure you're not my man So sir you'd better, you'd better take back your hands It's such a funny thing When you let us speak We re-remember, remember how to stand Now come on come on come on come on tell me How come on come on come on come on tell me Bitches work is a bitch but it has to happen We won't stop 'til we're finally in fashion Manic pixies hearts have blackened Stop me if I'm going too fast Time's up, time's up Oooh A hand above the knee Places on my body Only meant for just Jesus and me Was that a little wink A visual receipt Now my-my throat's, throat's trapped a scream Now come on come on come on come on tell me How come on come on come on come on tell me Bitches work is a bitch but it has to happen We won't stop 'til we're finally in fashion Manic pixies hearts have blackened Stop me if I'm going too fast Time's up, time's up Now come on come on come on come on tell me How come on come on come on come on tell me Time's up time's up time's up Come on come on come on come on tell me Time's up time's up time's up Come on come on come on come on tell me Time's up time's up Oooh Come on come on come on come on tell me Time's up time's up Oooh Bitches work is a bitch but it has to happen We won't stop 'til we're finally in fashion Manic pixies hearts have blackened Stop me if I'm going too fast Time's up, time's up You're not my daddy You're not my mom You're not my lawyer You are this song You're not my daddy You're not my mom You're not my lawyer You are this song You're not my daddy

This Will 04:19
It's tiring With my own foot on my neck It's hard to grow forward When my body means business I've got my ear to the ground 'Cept, it's the wrong one Searching for reason of sound To bring me back Down The elevation is making me crazy I'm sick but can't sit still I've got a belt 'round my sternum My womb's still burnin' But I I've got this will I've got this will Ooo Ooo Ooo This house I've lived in All of my years Started crumbling around me In need of repair Secrets in these walls The doctors can hear While I lay and wait Choking back Fear The renovations are making me crazy I'm sick but can't sit still I've got a belt 'round my sternum My womb's still burnin' But I I've got this will I've got this will What do we do When you can't trust you To carry you through To carry you through What do we do When you can't trust you To carry you through To carry you through What do we do When you can't trust you To carry you through To carry you through Ooo

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea You became the light on the dark side of me Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah And now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the gray Ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby? But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the gray I've been kissed by a rose on the gray I've been kissed by a rose on the gray I've been kissed by a rose on the gray (And if I should fall, would it all go away?) I've been kissed by a rose on the gray There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny Now won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby? But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the gray Yes, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the gray

Inside me There is something No one knows about It's my secret In the night It comes over My secret eats right through me Tells me what I should be My secret eats right through me Tells me what I should be So wrong, so beautiful, so bad The devil's next to me Can't make clear If it's real Am I just In a dream When it visits me I am no Longer here My secret eats right through me Tells me what I should be My secret eats right through me Tells me what I should be So wrong, so beautiful, so bad The devil's next to me The devil's next to me The devil's next to me No tears, no screams, no fear No tears, no screams, no fear Today not tomorrow Today not tomorrow Forgive yourself Forgive yourself Find the light inside, somehow it's alive Find the light inside, somehow it's alive Sun with open arms keeping you from harm Just get closer to it, just get closer to it Sun with open arms keeping you from harm Just let it take you back home You're safe inside your mind You're safe inside your mind
