look at the time it's gonna be a tight one we're gonna have to figure something out one of these days pieces of broken dreams cover the floor i don't want to go away i have chosen to remain i'm not a fighter but i have no excuse at all nowhere to go but through it all we see eachother through a lens of doubt and misunderstanding is it fair to say that or am i just projecting? one minute here the next minute gone one minute here the next minute gone one minute here the next minute gone one minute here the next minute gone one minute here one minute here one minute here one minute here

eclipses 01:46
there's been a lot of talk about solar eclipses lately there's been a lot of talk about solar eclipses lately but i feel what is real nevermind but i feel what is real nevermind light a cigarette something you will regret and i will forget what i knew when i was young

matinée 02:03
i had to wear a disguise so i won't be recognized please don't look into my eyes please don't look into my eyes now there's just sand in my bed it came from out of his head and someday we'll all be dead and someday we'll all be dead there is a point at every show that i feel it's time to go it is someone who you know it is all just who you know i saw a movie the other day i'd only pay for a matinee and that's all you had to say that was all you had to say

tornado 03:11
i don't want to see anyone to be anything to go anywhere i don't want to sail far away to fail at the day to breath in the air the old lovers on a saturday night were going down where everything's alright lots of fun and lots to be won going back to the place where they all came from driving far but driven mad they were driving there they knew it couldn't be bad 4 o'clock in the afternoon they were passing by i didn't have any room they stole my shoes it didn't matter to me but my feet got cold in the infirmary back then i could've told them better but i knew them when they had it more together drinking tea and eating rice they felt at home and then they rolled the dice and i know that they're with me even though they're not but it's too late and the sun's too hot and each moment gives a little bit more but the stars are dying and i have no door and each moment gives a little bit more but the stars are dying and i have no door

on a warm sunny day i see the world go by there's nothing left to do the morning light descends on the roofs of so many building the air smells so sweet and neutral i'm tired of this feeling it fills the floor right to the ceiling i'm ready for some healing
6.
i want to see you in the summer when i hear the sun does shine we could be with one another and go swimming all the time and we won't think about all of the things we don't want to think about all of the time i want to see you in the autumn when i hear the leaves turn brown we could be with one another finding money on the ground and we won't think about all of the things we don't want to think about all of the time i want to see you in the winter when i hear the snow does fall we could be with one another and go walk around the mall and we won't think about all of the things we don't want to think about all of the time i want to see you in the spring time when i hear the flowers bloom we could be with one another before the day leaves us too soon and we won't think about all of the things we don't want to think about all of the time all of the time all of the time all of the time all of the time
7.
apologies to socrates and plato for all the things that they know were right but i'll continue to i'll continue to recidivists and pessimists and communists and hedonists let us persist let us persist as they insist as they insist is sometimes i sleep a lot sometimes i eat a lot sometimes i feel a lot sometimes i think a lot about somewhere in time and space every member of the human race will join hands and sing this song all in the name of all in the name of 63 you and me sitting beneath the acacia tree not a care life was fair suddenly out of nowhere if i can impart any wisdom to help you along your way then i would probably say i would say i would say the old cactus the living room everything that i once knew the city's dust on a windy day blown away and all that's left is left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot left foot right foot

oh what a friend i have found in both you and this town i've decided we're divided into 3 1 is you 1 is me 1 is something i don't believe but what difference does it make anyhow? such strange eyes in your skull the way they see things in full like the clouds in the sky lord help me i miss my wife i miss my dog i miss my cat i miss my ideals but they're just figments of imagination and that's all there's a baby that was born in a field full of corn and he lived there and he died there just for us here's another take my brother he can do nothing like no other and i can't reach him and i can't teach him we're both the same perhaps the sun on my face will remove and erase all the past and then turn me into stone oh what a friend i have found in both you and this town i've decided we're divided into 3 into 3 into 3 into 3 into 3

tournaments 01:58
there are too many hours in this day for someone like me i am obsessed with you when you left you said you'd be right back again there are too many people in this world for someone like me i am upset with myself when you left you said you'd be right back again when you left you said you'd be right back again

goodbye old friend i'll see you again but now we say goodbye times we have had please don't be sad for we shall meet again every song must come to an end so now we say goodbye oh oh oh oh you're going east you're going west but wherever you go whatever you do it doesn't pass the test oh oh oh oh you're staying here you're going there but wherever you go whatever you do no one seems to care so let go of the future and let go of the past maybe then you won't feel so bad oh oh oh oh you're going far you're staying near but wherever you go whatever you do i'll always love you
