Phineas Gage - Insect Stars

Insect Stars

Pull you in

You're drowning again

In a chair across the room

I can see

When you sink it chokes me

I hope you're better soon

It's three o'clock

It's getting dark

It's two o'clock

It's fine...

And I can't understand

Mistakes made by the man

I'm sure that they'll defend

The reasons you pretend

And I will not complain

It's too hard to explain

The feeling, what I say

It's just a waste of time

And I can't remember

How I made amends

And I can't remember

How I made amends

Insect eyes

I can't recognize

The red and blue and white

When no one cares

When nobody stares

Insect eyes

I can't recognize

The red, the blue, the white

It's four o'clock

It's almost dark

It's three o'clock

It's night...

And I can't understand

Mistakes made by the man

I'm sure that they'll defend

The reasons you pretend

And I will not complain

It's too hard to explain

The feeling, what I say

It's just a waste of time

And I can't remember

How I made amends

And I can't remember

How I made amends

It's five o'clock

It's almost dark

It's four o'clock

The music stopped

It's three o'clock

I'm getting lost

It's two o'clock

And now we're gone

And I can't understand

Mistakes made by the man

I'm sure that they'll defend

The reasons you pretend

And I will not complain

It's too hard to explain

The feeling, what I say

It's just a waste of time

And I can't remember

How I made amends

And I can't remember

How I made amends

Scud Mountain Boys - Silo

Scud Mountain Boys - Silo

I'm gonna burn the silo when you go.
I'm gonna burn the silo when you go.
Gonna burn the silo, see the flames and then you'll know-
Gonna burn the silo when you go;
When you go...

I'm gonna shoot the livestock when you go.
I'm gonna shoot the livestock when you go.
Gonna shoot the livestock, I'll put an end to the talk;
I'm gonna shoot the livestock when you go.
When you go...

Cause I'm half way drown in this soggy little town,
And I can see the silo all arise.
Cause I'm half way drown in this soggy little town,
And I can see the silo touch the sky.

I'm gonna burn the silo when you go.
I'm gonna burn the silo when you go.
Gonna burn the silo, see the flames and maybe know-
Gonna burn the silo when you go;
When you go...
When you go...
When you go...
When you go...

The Weight – Dragged Back In

The Weight – Dragged Back In

Well, the city’s got limits, girl, and so do I.

I’m at my breaking point, in uneven smiles.

But if you’ll be my lamplighter,

I’ll dream of sleep,

And crowd back to the gutter

before the light can hit the streets.

You were gone before you ever even touched the ground;

I were born to indecision, turned on a dime.

I was ____* unsteady course, and stumbler falling forward

toward a great divorce.

You drink vodkas and cranberry whiskeys and Coke.

You need me to light your cigarettes,

And laugh at all your jokes.

You made a fool outta me before I ever got a chance.

Now, I’ll make a liar outta you if you don’t save me this dance.

Cause I always wanted your affections,

now I don’t know what to do with them

You say you crave my attention,

but I’m tired and I won’t be dragged back in.

So if you get a phone call while I’m away from home,

don’t answer for me darlin’, I get desperate while I’m alone.

In the lands down the road we’ll draw the straightest path

So my aimless feet won’t wander, so my course is always set.

When my faith turned away from you and the tires want in tread

Press a needle ore and north*, pulls me back again instead.

If you’ll be my destiny well I’m cheatin’ fate this time.

An’ I pull my body forward and leave my heart behind.

Cause I always wanted your affections,

now I don’t know what to do with them.

You say you crave my attention,

but I’m tired and I won’t be dragged back in.

Dragged back in

Dragged back in

Well, I’m tired and I won’t be dragged back in.

Dragged back in

Well, I’m tired and I won’t be dragged back in.

* At those two points in the song I could not decipher the lyrics.
