all the president's men old john said the saddest thing that he'd ever seen was when he went to nation's capital in washington dc there he met president nixon and he saw president nixon crying on the white house lawn
feeling transparent you looked so good just standing there what was i to do with your cigarette and those plane crash eyes what was there to lose you walk away (she doesn't even know i exist) so now some times i sit and stare hope i catch a glimpse of you light a cigarette and think of plane crash eyes once again i lose she doesn't even know i exist
painfully obvious it's way too late to tell you there's nothing wrong and no ideas to sell you on can't you read it in my face it's more apparent than the newspaper on your lawn hold on i'll be right there maybe you can make it clear maybe i could move to mars maybe you don't tell the truth maybe james dean had a thing for cars i'm falling in a supersonic daydream i stumble to the zero hour
a drinking town there is not a thrift store looking for a real bargain put it(?) in the friday paper always says the same old thing take a look the same five people hanging in the same two bars you know where to find them you know where they are sure it's a weekday that don't mean we can't get drunk this night is tuesday and a time for drugs your friend's the band (?) there goes that blond chick i've seen her face ten times before
bars close what is the cost of innocence lost can you pay the bill what do you think at the end of that drink are you still alone stale smell of cigarettes and i can't hear 'cause the heaters on
before the flood there's a bird up on mean skies(?) he says he sees things just like we do it's a shame we don't need(?) him and out in utah there's a guy who don't believe it either but he's not too eager to please the man says there's a picture on the wall don't look like him not at all yet it still hangs there there's a speaker in the sky it plays all the sounds that you hear it's everything that i fear and the man who put it there he can't help but sit and stare at the check they gave him
plum island ...who put these things in front of me...
speedracer's lament do you think you can put out the fire can you picture where the past leads the lights they seem too bright and i saw racer x swiftly you'll get along run down will you understand
two blocks from the river waiting on the man to come around can't wait to see what he's found but mostly i wanna hear his carnival sound and i will drift away traffic brings the sound of life outside through my door but still i wait around just listening
smart aleck's karma she awoke from a dream said all of my friends were there but you weren't there what does that mean i said maybe i'm not your friend and i didn't go thinking no one would know but you did in the end and i'm the victim of a bad dream and a girl with no sense of humor
