Shame, Anger, Shame

Shame, to anger, and then back to shame
Don't let it wreck your afternoon
I know we can resolve it soon
Don't reach for the cannon, I won't call you names
Anger to shame, when I come back, I won't be the same
Shame, to anger, you're earning your fame
I don't deserve your sympathy
Especially if your friends agree
I'll learn to detach from whatever you say
Anger to shame, when I come back, I won't be the same
I know it's hard always being around me
Sometime's it's best not to intervene
If you become angry at certain things that I do
Well then it's easier to just say nothing

Are You With Me

Are you with me, are you selfish and high
Are you in line for the paycheck and just waiting to die
Are you empty, but still filled up with rage
Presenting your data and getting booed off the stage
Go ahead and be obscene, fuel the flame with gasoline
Then stuff your overalls with gift receipts to shopping malls
If you decide to spend your time working on your attitude
Well then I think that you're rude
I'll scream a fighter's song, I'll never admit that I'm wrong
Even though the county line is crying that the blame is mine
If you decide to spend your time working on your attitude
Well then I think that you're rude

I'm A Rat

I'm a rat, I'm a rat
And there's no reason that
I would ever do you any harm
All the pride you once had
Stuff it up in your bag
You can hang it from your broken arm
Shoo me off, with a shoe
Might as well kick me too
If you're never gonna listen to me
I could waste all your time, make every minute mine
I'm a rat and that's all that I'll ever be
I'm a rat, I'm a rat
Bribe the dog, kill the cat
And I'll go and live among the unpure
I'll take off, relocate
Change my town, change my state
Get away from you just to be sure
I'm a rat, I'm a rat
I am slow, I am fat
In the choir singing way out of key
I can waste all your time, make every minute mine
I'm a rat and that's all that I'll ever be
I'm a rat and that's all that I'll ever be
You'll be lying face down
And I'll be dreaming of you
The world will stop turning around
We live together with no shame
So I don't care all the same
The world will stop turning around
The world will stop turning around

Kerchoo

Wish I could just freeze the light
And live in the day until I get it right
I would do anything for you
Every fear just goes away
The bitter promise of another day
I would do anything for you
Kerchoo
Kerchoo
I would do anything for you
So supreme, tried and true
Not only your lover, but your best friend too
I would do anything for you
Cruise the night and try to correct
But if you go that hard, well what do you expect?
I would do anything for you
Everything is obvious, everything is obvious
Do I have to care for this?
Do I have to care about this afternoon
Well I don't, because it has nothing to do with you
I'm barely hanging on to this
Every time I try, I seem to miss
Do I have to care for this?
Do I have to care about this afternoon
Well I don't, because it has nothing to do with you

Devotion

Devotion, come and have your last word
I know you think your second in line
But now you're the third
Resolution, somewhere down the line
Nobody should have to hide
I only want you satisfied
Hold out your feeding hand, but your hand isn't clean
Nobody cares if your polite
Or if you're part of the scene
Put all your weight on the shallow, and the bridge will subside
Nobody should have to hide
I only want you satisfied
Maybe we
We should just get out of here
Erase all the memories
That linger year after year
I only want to see you every night
But you're standing just beyond my line of sight
Nobody should have to hide
I only want you satisfied
Light it up and let it pop
Don't think I'll ever stop
Kill it off if you think it's fair
Or keep it up if you dare

You're like the thermal that I lost in NYC
Even though you're gone, you're still everything to me
Please take good care as you choose your way
Whatever you drink, you're going to smell for the day
You're like an empty teenager's apology
You're so believable even at the worst entry
Well I hope you don't have to kick me out again
Because I don't think that you'll let me back in
I'm sorry for my affection, I know that it's a distraction
I'll keep my nose clean
Won't break the routine
Don't know if I can
I'm dead stiff like a mannequin
Start it up to give it up again
Give yourself what you need

Dry Spell
01:57
|
|||
|
I'm forever let down, a busted old lift
I got a haircut on Wednesday, on Thursday I got a shift
The weakest of routines that I ever known
We're never together, I'm always alone
Offer up what you don't have, I fall like a star
I'm losing my sympathy, slamming the door to my car
Familiar with red lights, and numb to the pain
In the eye of the dry spell, trying not to complain

The Depressed
02:32
|

|
Holiday, a week without the written world
You only pay when interest starts to build
I just want to break it down and redefine
Throw them to the dogs when they return
Give up my chair in local council and just resign
Handle the depressed after the burn
Something else, something else to fall back on
Nobody else can match the guilt you bring
Gather up the evidence with hungry arms
Give it to the kids and watch them feed
Now I know my current state can do no harm
I'll handle the depressed after they bleed
