Jeremy
At home
Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on
top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
Dead lay in pools of maroon
below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't
care
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless
little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth
And bit the
recess lady's breast
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise left
My jaw
left hurting
Dropped wide open
Just like the day
Like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something that
mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Try to forget this...
Try to erase this...
From the blackboard.
Animal
one, two, three, four, five against one
five, five, against

Daughter
you guys ready...
alone... listless... breakfast table in
an otherwise empty room
young girl... violins... center of her own attention
mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
tries to make her proud
the shades go down, it's in her head
painted room... can't deny there's
something wrong...
don't call me daughter, not fit to
the picture kept
will remind me
don't call me daughter, not fit to
the picture kept will
remind me
don't call me...
she holds the hand that holds her down
she
will... rise above...
don't call me daughter, not fit to
the picture kept
will remind me
don't call me daughter, not fit to be
the picture kept will
remind me
don't call me...
don't call me daughter, not fit to
the
picture kept will remind me
don't call me daughter, not fit to be
the
picture kept will remind me
don't call me...
the shades go down
the
shades go down
the shades go, go, go...
Indifference
i will light the match this mornin', so i won't be alone
watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
i will stand arms
outstretched, pretend i'm free to roam
i will make my way, through, one more
day in hell...
how much difference does it make
how much difference does
it make...
i will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
i'll keep takin'
punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down until my eyes
go blind
hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
how much
difference does it make
how much difference does it make..
how much
difference...
i'll swallow poison, until i grow immune
i will scream my
lungs out till it fills this room
how much difference
how much difference
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make...
Better Man
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to
stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the
door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better
man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Ohh...
Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And
waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears
he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better
man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
She dreams
in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better
man
Can't find a better man
Yeah...
She loved him, yeah... she don't want to leave this way
She
feeds him, yeah... that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't
find a better man
Can't find a better... man...
Pilate
Talk of circles and punching out
Looking in, drawing
circles down
Falling up the south marking ground
Talking out of turn,
drawing circles down
Like Pilate, I have a dog
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves}
Walks me out of town
Still, oneOs a crowd
Making angels
in the dirt
Looking up, looking all around
Like Pilate, I have a dog
Obeys, listens, kisses, loves
Stunned by my own reflection
It's looking back, sees me too
clearly
And I swore I'd never go there again
Not unlike a friend that
politely drags you down
Like Pilate, I have a dog
Obeys, listens, kisses, loves
Green Disease
It's a disease,... and they're all green
It emminates from
their being
A satiation with occupation
And like weeds,.. with big leaves
Stealing light from
what's beneath
Where they have more,...
Still they take more
Course I know,.. then I don't
There's a stoway with my
throat
It's deceiving
I don't believe him
We can scream,.. out our doors
Behind the wall a fat man
snores
In his dreams he's,...
Choking on leaves
Well I guess
There's nothing wrong with what you say
Believe me
Just asking you to sway
No white
Or black
Just grey
Can you feel this,..
World with your heart and not your brain?
Pendulum
Can't know what's high
'Til you've been down so low
The
future's bright,
Lit up with nowhere to go,
To and fro the pendulum throws
We are here and then we go
My shadow left me long ago
Understand what we don't know
This might pass
This might
last
This may grow
Easy come and easy go
Easy left me a long time ago
I'm in the fire but I'm still cold
Nothing works works for
me anymore
Ah ah ah ah ah
To and fro the pendulum throws
To and fro
the pendulum throws
To and fro
To and fro
