1. _ At My Mercy
I hold your dress, your dress is blue
I'm a coin that fell into the sea
Now stumbling around, i'm lost from view
Do you know what became of me
He can see with his eyes closed
He'll leave you something to remember him by
Valentine said no way out
No way out and no goodbye
Now you're finally at my mercy
Now you're at my beck and call
You were born with just one kiss
That's all it took
He comes to this bar, he gets desperate
He's been shot and killed by love
Sits at the bar thinks about all those angels in heaven
And offer him to the overpass above
I hold your dress, your dress is blue
I am a coin that fell into the sea
Stumbling around but now i'm lost from view
On the losing side of eternity
Now you're finally at my mercy
Now you're at my beck and call
You were born with just one kiss
That's all it took

2. _ Mom's Tv
Where are all your brothers and sisters?
'cause i hope they're not all like you
Where are all your brothers and sisters?
'cause i get so lonely when there's just you
Why do you hate me so bad?
'cause i was the best friend you ever had
Tell me why you gave up so easily
Yeah i guess that you just lost your head
The same water falls in lightning and snow
The same scene of failure every night
The same echoes reach me from far away
Echoes of the end and the feign in my old day
Caught a small scene on my mom's tv
She watched it when she was lonely at night
Oh god i hate you
Telling me what's gonna happen the rest of my life
The same water falls in lightning and snow
The same scene of failure every night
It's read all off of your face
It's in everything you say
Echoes in the end
And the fade of night and day
Get so lonely

3. _ Nightwatchman
I remember how i let you down
Everything you say reminds me of the pain
How you lost your dignity
Passing in and out of a dream
Is there some secret i'm supposed to know
Is there some secret i'd always miss
'cause there's no dignity when you have to live
Within the boundaries of a kiss
And the nightwatchman
Yeah he's asleep
Nightwatchman
Oh come on tell me what's wrong
Nightwatchman
Is the night too long
Is the same lie you gave me before
I don't care anything you say is just fine
I'll just sit and watch the traffic passing by outside
The will in the world it's the prevailing tide
You're supposed to watch the night as it passes by
You're never supposed to need anyone
'cause once i knew the secret to happiness
I knew it was oh but now it's gone
And the nightwatchman
Yeah he's asleep
Nightwatchman
I can't wake him up
Watchman
C'mon tell me what's wrong
Nightwatchman
Is the night too long

4. _ Gary's Song
Gary tell me why the leaves on the trees
Are falling this early as the spring
Why the leaves on the trees that are falling on us
Are like the words to the song
I've lived my whole life to sing
If you swim too much you'll drown
If we sit here and drink enough beer
We'll be two inflatable dolls in a hooker's bad dream
When the storm reaches us we'll be two blind drunks
Who've absorbed through the skin
A whole lifetime of kerosene
If you drink too much you will dream
And the shame of my life is watching you
Gary, i think we've worn out our welcome
They're waiting for us to leave
Gary, they've got a new kind of person
A newer, stronger, cleaner breed
And i think i just came in my pants
Oh baby do you want to dance
Everything collapses here, slow motion
And the roots of the dance and the stain in my pants
Are beyond any small man's conception
If you drink too much you will drown
And the shame of my life is watching you drown

5. _ Clouds
Storm picks up valuable things
Places mirrors at my feet
A wardrobe filled with blood
And nasty lies to repeat
Well let me give you something
'cause everything's for free
Yeah let me give you something
Before you take it from me
With a magic finger
I'll smooth the lines on your face
And no bad feelings linger
But your disgust and my disgrace
You wanna get excited
So i'll push you too far
You wanna get excited
That's just too bad
Here they come
They've got shotguns and transparent skin
And they will stand around like rain
And they all want in
So come on in, you're welcome in
Storm picks up valuable things
Places mirrors at my feet
A wardrobe filled with blood
And nasty lies to repeat
You wanna get excited
So i'll push you too far
You wanna get excited
That's just too bad
Here they come
They've got shotguns and transparent skin
And they will stand around like rain
And they all want in
So come on in, you're welcome in
Here they come
Tell me how you know my name

6. _ Asleep.
Now that we've perfected the art of love
Now all the lights shine on me and misery
My good friend misery
You can be cured by a single touch
You can get up and walk away
Anything that you say
The drive of the road again
'cause i'll be your only friend
Right before we touch the ground
The night asleep, loving sound
Sweet loving sound

8. _ This Year
This year, oh what's the look this year
Is it the look of things to come
Has it all been said, has it all been done
The sun upon the sea
Did you dress that way for me
This year everyone just stood around
And watched my family tree burn down
Watched it crumble on the ground
Making no protesting sound
As if justice was finally found
And anything beautiful
That you can contrive
Has no desire to survive
This year the mirror the wall
It cracked right through the middle
And spring turned into fall
Love the most beautiful killer of them all

9. _ Big Night
Big nights are black and blue
They get cold and they get wet
And they're calling out for you
Like no one you ever met
No one dreams in the hours around me
The more i lose the more you find me
I lose track with every kiss
We shouldn't be isolated like this
Yeah, you're my friend
And when we're lost i'll still hold your hand
Revealed in white when the shadows fail
In any shadow that you can name
I'll be the shadow of your name
Hold the prize close to your heart
Prizes made for those who failed
Hold the prize away from you
So maybe you can hold me as well
When time peels off your statued skin
I'll still be fooled by what remains
Yeah whatever's left of you will be my dream
Yeah, you're my friend
And when we're drunk
I'll still hold your hand
Revealed in white when the shadows fail
In any shadow that you can name
I'll be the shadow of your name
In any shadow that you name
I'll be the shadow of the name
I'll be the shadow of your name

10. _ Outside This Bar
The hospital wouldn't admit you
So we go home again
Right back to the same old room
Right back to the same old thing
But you know you're just another girl
Come from some carry-out in hell
You're just another story how they fucked up the life
Of a sweet girl
We'll sit and look at the street
Watch the el dorados roll by
You can't look your murderers
You can't look them in the eye
But you know they can always spot you
From a mile away
They give you anything you want
They'll do anything you say
And outside this bar there's no one alive
Outside this bar how does anyone survive
Together you and me
You know we've gotta destroy this world
C'mon darling we've gotta destroy this world
And i remember when
Your girlfriend would put you on display
You'd be the life of the party
Til they come and drag you away
But in the end we'll watch the pattern
As it begins to tear
We'll see the chaos that's underneath
All the clothes that the angels wear
And outside this bar there's no one alive
Outside this bar how does anyone survive
Together you and me
You know we'll never destroy this world
C'mon baby i wish we could destroy this world
Outside this bar
Together you and me turn this quiet night into silence
Together we'll turn this love into violence

11. _ Electric Light
You got me good, you did the right thing
And nothing matters everything's understood
You did the right thing
Are you gonna be my judge and jury at night
'cause i'm busy baby with the electric light
I'm not afraid of it why are you, why are you
C'mon tell me the truth
I was just a little bit lonely and that's not a crime
I was crying for the very last time i
Was caught blind staring into your electric light
But i'm never going back again
I'm never going to go back again
At a drink booth for a straight pack in the room
You could see me down here again
That is not a very pretty sight
I can see pretty face but you're raped every night
It's all plain as day in the electric light
But i'm never going back again
No, i'm never going to go back again
