Collecting sea glass and tiny shells in a paper bag It’s these little things that keep her going keeping her glad Sketching numbers and tiny shapes through her smudgy tears And when she’s had enough she .... disappears It’s like fly paper trap Even beating wings can’t bring her back She’s hanging from the ceiling again Weaving lines that she follows become the this n that It’s always boring she’s giving in to the tommyrot She punches in trying to do her thing but feels out of place She wishes she could break free … break free It’s like fly paper trap Even beating wings can’t bring her back She’s hanging from the ceiling again La la la la la …. She’s saving her seaglass and all of her seashells says they make her feel better She’s saving her seaglass and all of her seashells bet she keeps them forever She’s saving her seaglass and all of her seashells says they make her feel better She’s saving her seaglass and that’s what’s keeping her glad

Why should I pretend when I don’t like to I’m holding on to something when it’s gone I don’t know where it’s gone I don’t know where it’s gone But it’s gone oooo yeah it’s gone See the bullet fly before it strikes you No matter what you try it’s gonna hit I don’t know where it’s from I don’t know where it’s from Here it comes oh yeah here it comes You ride the high the low be careful as you go On and on ooooo yeah on and on ...

Happy Now 03:26
I won’t have to worry this time cuz everything’s ok There’s no need to hurry I’m fine I don’t need you anyway Leave me when you’re high you need me when you’re low Here’s a few things I thought that you should know You’re a deceiver a make believer a liar a cheater I’m never supposed to Call you again or call you my friend happy now? I remember we were younger one time you made me play this game I said I didn’t want to I cried but you made me anyway Leave me when you’re high you need me when you’re low Here’s a few things I thought that you should know You’re a deceiver a make believer a liar a cheater I’m never supposed to Call you again or call you my friend happy now? You’re a pretender a no never lender impossible bender I’m never supposed to Call you again or call you my friend happy now? I don’t have to look over my shoulder like when you was around I am feeling so much bolder like a king who wears a crown By the time the moon falls over and becomes the sun You won’t see me you can’t hear me you can’t hurt me anymore Happy now?

We could talk all night it wouldn’t make it right wouldn’t make me say think or do It wouldn’t change anything, anything You could climb the walls make a million calls leave me messages till you’re blue It wouldn’t change anything, anything We could make pretend make it never end make believe that we’re still in love It wouldn’t change anything, anything You could show you care are you really there is it me is it you in the air It wouldn’t change anything, anything I don’t care I don’t know my heart says stay my head says go I don’t care I don’t know how to find my way out, out of here I don’t care I don’t know my heart says stay my head says go I don’t care I don’t know how to find my way out It wouldn’t change anything, it wouldn’t change anything at all We could talk all night …

Cold Room 03:20
She keeps me up all night in her cold room The day begins so bright I should be home soon What does she know what does she She chooses every word with surgical cool Though some are never heard she don’t need you to What does she know what does she What does she know what does she I fall down I get up I fall again She tells me I’m much better off now than I was then Incredibly she’s right and I feel good Or maybe it was I was just waiting for her to tell me how to What does she know what does she What does she know what does she I fall down I get up I fall again She tells me I’m much better off now than I was then Ooooooooooooo What does she know what does she What does she know what does she

Counting 03:33
There’s this hiding place that I go where no one knows I go And there’s this counting thing that I do because I need to need to Then I go where I know I can’t be get to There’s these silly things that I say when I don’t know what I’m gonna say And there’s this twitching thing in my eye right before I cry so I won’t cry Then I go where I know I can’t be get to Then I go where I know I can’t be get … It’s the same as yesterday I’m counting on you in every way I am happy here in my room where I’m in tune right in tune I lock the door I’m inside where nobody can find me counting by myself right aloud Then I go where I know I can’t be get to Then I go where I know I can’t be get … It’s the same as yesterday I’m counting on you in every way

Party Crimes 02:06
We was all getting liquored up at the apartment The police came and they called your name n where did you went I’m not doing time for no party crime I said I could not stay And when I went to walk away they say oh no oh no All that buzz n making easy love little honey bee She come around with her horny crown get her hooks in me I’m not doing time for no party crime I said I could not stay And when I went to walk away she say oh no oh no Now I’m all getting liquored up in my living room No police come n not even one such a sad sad tune If I had the chance to do it all again I said would not stay I’d a just walked away I say oh no oh no I should have been gone I should have been long I could have been gone I should have been long gone

Sundress 03:13
Digging through your closet looking for something to wear It’s not there it’s not there Waiting for that sun to shine down through your golden hair it’s not there It’s not there Sundress your hair is all a mess will you ever see a day when there’s no rain Sundress your hair is all a mess will you ever see a day when there’s no rain Peaking through your window see a cloudy sky and yawn it’s all wrong It’s all wrong Waiting for that sun to shine down through your golden hair it’s not there It’s nowhere Sundress your hair is all a mess will you ever see a day when there’s no rain Sundress your hair is all a mess will you ever see a day when there’s no rain No Rain It’s coming through it’s coming through No rain Sunshine down on you shine down on you shine down on you shine down on you Sundress your hair is all a mess will you ever see a day when there’s no rain Sundress your hair is all a mess will you ever see a day when there’s no rain Will you ever see a day when there’s no rain Will you ever see a day ever see a day ever see a day when there’s no rain

Superhighway 03:35
Driving down superhighway needed a minute to get away and go for a ride Turn it over drop into drive revving motor and a powerglide let’s go for a ride Go for a ride Driving trying to make the noise go away Driving like we’re the only ones on superhighway Nothing better than a steal away maybe the city or to monterey let’s go for a ride Drive all night you know it won’t take long nobody ever gonna know we’re gone let’s go for a ride Go for a ride Driving trying to make the noise go away Driving like we’re the only ones on superhighway The road is long we sing the same ole song turn the radio on and drive away The road is long we sing the same ole song turn the radio on and drive awaaaaaaaaaay
