Where's Your Halo At?
02:34

Embace the way I live my life,
Yeah, well maybe you were right
For calling me on it
If everybody is on trial
I can't be far behind
No, I can't be far behind
Embrace the way I understand
I'm an ordinary man
With no semblance of a plan.. Not today
Reject the way I spend my days
I live a farily boring life
In a fairly boring way
Reject the way to understand
Your life, the ordinary
Steps I take
I won't commend
You won't command
And I won't bend
I won't bend, but I bend
I vw been at it a long time
Hey hey. Where's your halo at?
It's gonna be a day behind behind I'm never even on time in the morning
It's been a while since I got on my knees to pray you say
But thats in the past
And it the past it stays
I stopped living on the day you went aw
Hey where's your halo at?
It's a big step down
Hey, where's your halo at?
Did it get dirty when it touched the ground?
Did you get dirty when you touched the ground too?
Hey
Did your halo get dirty?
Halo, halo, how low is too much too low for you?

Rush In The Piano

This town is boring and dull
And you're voice is boring into my skull
But I could always count on you save me
The sun is up and my mood is down
And my money is all over the ground
I could always count on you to try to change me
But somewhere in the back of my mind
I always knew that it wouldn't be you
To rush in to save the day
Now that there's nothing left here
And everything's crystal clear
There's nothing but decay
When there's nothing left but dust
And even christmas is colored rust
But I could always count on you to frame me
You said that I write well
But that I shouldn't kiss and tell
I could always count on you to shame me
But somewhere in the back of my mind
I always knew that it wouldn't be you
To rush in at the end to save the day
Now that there's nothing left here and
Everything's crystal clear feel
There's nothing but decay
But somewhere in the back of my mind
I always knew that it wouldn't be you
To rush in at the end to save the day
Now that there's nothing left here and
Everything's crystal clear feel
There's nothing but decay
Rush in a piano
Rush in a piano
Rush in at the end to save the day
Rush in a piano
Rush in a piano
Oh, I got songs if you know how to play
There's no commotion of the ocean
Just cellulite suntan lotion
There's no commotion I of the ocean
I had a notion to wave goodbye

Hide and Go Seek
03:29
|

You run in to the garden to cut a caggage leaf
Bake an apple pie at the sime time coming down the street
He popped into a coffee shop, what, no milk, he died
The walrus and the carpenter were working side by side
Let's play hide and go seek in the neighbor's yard
I feel alone at night when I see the stars
And the Moon, Venus and Mars
I saw a maple tree, under it a scale
I saw a blazing comet, drop down ice and hail
You're walking through the woods slow at first, picking up speed
A tiger is on the left, and on the right a stream
Above you a cloud, with ivory circled all round,
Below you a sturdy oak, creeping on the ground,
Let's play hide and go seek in the neighbor's yard
I feel alone at night when I see the stars
And hear the sound of cars
I saw a maple tree, under it a scale
I saw a blazing comet, drop down ice and hail, uh uh
I saw a peacock bathing, at the paper mill
I saw reversing falls, hen saw the water still

Defending Your Life
02:04
|
|||
|
If you can see me now, surely you wonder how
It came to this, but I must insist
Wait til you're dismissed before you slit your wrist
You wait until the end until you reoffend
You know I never even said exactly what you did
No one would believe it was an accident.
Defend or surrender your life
You can use this pen or this knife
When your lifestyle is neither a choice or style
Why would I decide to be like this?
I'm an open book, that no one ever reads
They can't relate to pragonist
Defend or surrender your life
You can use a pen or a knife
Pretend to read I, Libertine
And criticize it scene by scene
