Lyrics

what to do about them lp


tall ships

such a brat

i knew i was wrong

couldn't settle down

maybe i'll just take a walk

why don't you just shut the fuck up

your mouth is closed

your mind's made up

i slipped out

i went to your door

the light was out

you wouldn't talk to me no more

but when she comes

it's like a big brass lantern

blowing her out

but like a light

she likes to burn


sarah sitting

sarah sitting in her house

painting each nail like it's a watercolor

all day i sit here waiting

for my fastidious flower

look here at her table

her life is filled with perfect pictures

reds and blues

in the upstairs room

but i'm far too shy to try them too

tossed and turned all night long

and in the morning my mind's as good as gone

she is filling up my head with song

but she won't tell the words

so i can't sing along


her life of artistic freedom

what if i had it wrong

and she knew that but she felt that i could

and she said that i had it wrong

what if she don't come back

and goes away to a place

and finds it's better/badder

i might just crawl away

never go home again

home again


didn't understand

crushed up in her hand

and we slid down on the beach and sand

and i could not let go

rearrange in your head to see her hair here on your bed

outside it's so cold and i don't want to let it go

soft and sweet her cheeks turn red in a blush from your smile

it warms up your heart and runs your head another mile

it's the last breath for you're in the cold cold car

tangled hair in my arms

rearrange in your head to see her hair here on your bed

outside it's so cold and i don't want to let it go


upstairs

dread coming home and sitting here all alone

phone's in my hand

underneath it's itching mad

lying all alone

electricity makes me feel so strong

i tried to sit i couldn't stand it

i covered my face up real slow

like running upstairs

dread coming home sitting upstairs alone

hold her in your hands

it's good to wish you could

you can

my face is in my palms

electricity makes her seem so strong

i tried to sit i couldn't stand it

i covered my face up real slow

like running upstairs

running straight home

there is no one there

you can hide running upstairs


chris r

in her desk

beneath her chair

we found clumps of hair

here and there

out in the hall chris stumbled and fell

i slipped back inside my wall

to hide behind the walls

it goes on for miles through empty rooms

he slowly smiles

but late at night when you're alone

hands first through the cracks

then come the feet to your bed

to lick where you bled

on your scraped knee scraped just for me

behind the walls it goes on for miles

through empty rooms he slowly smiles


cousteau

all i'm sayin

it's in your mind dear

it's there to find

and you can't find down from just watching you

you can run dear but it's not the same to me

hang around me

won't you hang around me
