"I'm Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn't Break Your Heart"

I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear
And i'm a little too late
By three or four years
And it may not make much sense
Now that we are apart
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart

You see i never thought enough of myself
To realize that losing me could mean
Something like the tears in your eyes
And i want to tell you i'm sorry
And it's too late to start
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart

And it's christmas eve
Years down the line
Sitting here wishing i'd treated you better
When you were mine
And i have no way of knowing where you are
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart

I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't know what i was doing
But i know what i have done

"If You See Natalie"

If you see natalie
Send along this message
I know that you've been through
An awful lot of late

Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you

Friends and fortunetellers
They all say you're gonna die
If you don't brighten up
You know you gotta try

Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you

If you see natalie
Send along this message
You may not need this world
But this world needs you here

Girl,
Steady the trembling hand
That's what you do
Girl,
Steady your trembling hands
Then see what's in front of you

You might not feel it now
But you're gonna get there
And see it somehow
Youre gonna be alright, girl

"In The Yard, Behind The Church"

In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds search for
A safe place to rest the night away
We will go down to the brook and
Sit upon the overlook then
Forget about the troubles of the day

We will walk among the graves of
Men long dead with presidents' names and
Listen to the water flow softly by
I will kiss you on the lips now
And as the sky grows dark we'll strip down
And let the water wash away all lies

In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds perch on
Gray stones as the garden's growing dim
We will lay down on the ground and
Put our cheeks against the dirt down
Where it no longer matters
Where you've been

"It's A Motherfucker"

It's a motherfucker
Being here without you
Thinking 'bout the good times
Thinking 'bout the bad
And i won't ever be the same

It's a motherfucker
Getting through a sunday
Talking to the walls
Just me again
But i won't ever be the same
I won't ever be the same

It's a motherfucker
How much i understand
The feeling that you need someone
To take you by the hand
And you won't ever be the same
You won't ever be the same

"Jeannie's Diary"

How does her world spin
Without me in her nest?
Could there really be such happiness?

Oh, she's got a dark side too
Even murderous
But i love that
Just like her

I don't have a chance at writing the book
I just wanna be a page
In jeannie's diary
One single page
In jeannie's diary

Yes i am intense
Maybe quite obsessed
Everything she does is curious

Oh, she's going to let me in
I just know it's so
Then again, who do i kid?

I don't have a chance at writing the book
I just wanna be a page
In jeannie's diary
One single page
In jeannie's diary

She could have anything she wants
So why not me?
She could have anything she dreams
Oh, to be one single page
One single page
In jeannie's diary

"Jehovah's Witness"

Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home
Keep on a-knockin' and ringin' the bells
Knockin' your way straight to hell

Jehovah's witness let's not pretend
That for one second you are my friend
Knock on my door and i'll turn out the light
Close the curtains and turn in for the night

Jehovah's witness why must it be
Just when i'm feeling good i look out and see
You walking up in your very nice suit
Like i'm some old lady who'll give up her loot

Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home

"Jungle Telegraph"

Mama had an epideral
Hoping i would be a girl
The night was black
The sky was booming
Darker clouds were surely looming
I heard screaming
Doctor shouts
And baby then i came out

And here i am

Found my way down the street
Chicken hawk's favorite meat
The man was big
The gun was loaded
He had cash but never showed it
I heard screaming
Bleeding throat
And baby i got on the boat

And here i am

Now i'm up here in the trees
Shakin' off the bugs and fleas
The days are long
The sun is beating
Each day i don't die is cheating
Send me some lovin'
Send me some lovin'
Send it now

Send it by giraffe
Or jungle telegraph

"L. A. River"

Walking along by the l.a. river
This river's such a joke
And so am i
I don't know why i should believe her
I don't care what she says
I wanna die

I'd jump right in the drink
But there's no water
I'd jump right in and sink
Away from here
Poor river
Empty river
I'm feeling just like you

Walking along by the l.a. river
Stepping on broken glass
And kicking cans
She's telling me i don't even know her
I guess there's some things i won't understand

I'd love to float away like old tom sawyer
I'd love to run away and be huck finn
Poor river
Empty river
I'm feeling just like you

Walking along by the l.a. river
Reading graffiti
And throwing stones
She's looking for someone to deliver
She doesn't give a damn if i'm alone

I'd dive right in and drown
But there's no water
My head may hit the ground
But still I'm here
Poor river
L.a. river
I'm feeling just like you

"Last Stop: This Town"

You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It's getting dark a little too early
Are you missing the dearly bereft?

Taking flight and you could be
Here tomorrow
Taking flight, well, you could get
Here tonight

I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
What?
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
Well, alright

Get down

Taking a spin through the neighborhood
The neighbors scream
Whatchya talkin' bout?
'cause they don't know how to
Let you in
And i can't let you out

What if i was not your only friend
In this world
Can you take me where you're going
If you're never coming back

I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way

Get down

Why don't we take a ride
Away up high
Through the neighborhood
Up over the billboards and the factories
And smoke

I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
Yeah
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Fly away

Get down

"Last Time We Spoke"

When you called
Your voice was so grave
I knew it would be
The last time we spoke

You said something
That i could not hear
To hear with my own ears
The last time we spoke

And it's a hard time
Trying to get through
All the days that drag on
Thinking about you

Nothing hurts
Like someone who knows
Everything about you
Leaving you behind

And it's a hard time
Trying to get through
All the days that drag on
Thinking about you

When you called
You might as well have killed me
And that was the last time
The last time we spoke
