I ain't got no common sense to hold me back
To hold me back
No, I ain't got nothin' like that
Nothin' like that
Everyone here looks like a nervous wreck
You look like heck
Business as usual, I expect
I expect
But if you expect me to stay, don't hold your breath
This path that you prescribe leads to a fate worse than death
Oh
This town is too small for the two of us
The two of us
That's why I got me this sign: "Chicago or Bust"
Chicago or Bust
My feet are made of rubber, watch me jump
Watch me jump
I might land in Shangri-La, I might land in a dump
Land in a dump
But if you expect me to stay, you better cross your toes
The wind don't consult the birds before it blows
Oh
I thought we had a deal, you, me, and Cupid
You, me, and Cupid
He'd bring the love, you'd bring the crazy, and I'd bring the stupid
I'm stupid
Poker's got no rules when the chips are human hearts
The chips are human hearts
In the end you only win if you remember the good parts
Remember the good parts
But if you expect me to stay, you got another thing comin'
I got this beat in my head, and it just keeps on drummin'
Oh
I gotta move on. - Track Name: The Least You Could Do
-
Wake up, make up, drink up
coffee, cola, shinola
Doctor, Lawyer, Tom Sawyer
Robot, toaster, please use a coaster
Shoot me in the face before you say "I love you"
It's the least you could do
Erection, explosion, erosion
Sediment, sentiment, sacrament
Direct, dissect, politically correct
Broken hearted, retarded
Shoot me in the face before you say "I love you"
It's the least you could do
December, remember, dismember
Farming, alarming, I'm so charming
Matriculation, masturbation, castration
Small talk, land mine, chalk outline
Shoot me in the face before you say "I love you"
It's the least you could do
Textbook, novel, a trip to the brothel
Holden, hollow, el dorado
Trumpet, trombone, raging hormone
Manage, muster, losing your luster
Shoot me in the face before you say "I love you"
It's the least you could do
It's the least you could do hoo hoooooo
It's the least you could
do - Track Name: Arboretum (Anthem of my 19th Year)
-
All the trees are frozen and the plants are buried in the snow
and I am buried in my life
Are you here for a class?
No, I'm skipping class to be here
and I think I'm skipping town tonight.
All my friends are out of town
I really wish I was drunk right now
but I don't have any alcohol.
Winter is a lousy season to visit the arboretum
and 19 is a lousy age.
I don't think there's anything that you can do to help me out right now but I really appreciate the offer.
I've got a lot of stuff to get done if I'm gonna get done with all the stuff that I gotta get done.
The power lines are buzzin' like a hive of bees and nothin's gonna bring me down from here.
If my life were a car the check engine light would now be blinking on and off and on and off, on and off and on and off
I don't want to go to school tomorrow
I don't want to go to school ever again.
Winter is a lousy season to visit the arboretum
and 19 is a lousy age.
All the trees are frozen and the plants are buried in the snow
and I am buried in my life
Are you here for a class?
No, I'm skipping class to be here
and I think I'm skipping town tonight.
All my friends are out of town
I really really really really really wish I was drunk right now!
Winter is a lousy season to visit the arboretum
and 19 is a lousy age. - Track Name: Water Rising

You are a pyramid
You are a monolith
You are an obelisk
You are a monument
I am a river
I am the rain
I am the ocean
I am the waves
I keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on rising
The water keeps on rising
You are a city
You are a building
You are a brick
You are a pebble
I am a river
I am the rain
I am the ocean
I am the waves
I keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on rising
The water keeps on rising
Rising
Rising
Rising
Rising
Rising
Rising
Rising
Rising
Keep on keep on keep on... - Track Name: Moving Pictures

Your face was in the pictures
Your face was in the moving pictures
And though I'd never met you
though I'd never met you, I knew
Because I saw you in the pictures
I saw you and I knew who you were
All those years ago
Before I was born
Maybe you were born too early
Or maybe I was born too late
Maybe there's no need to hurry
Or maybe there's no time to wait
As I watched the pictures
As I watched the moving pictures
They told to me a story
They told me the story of you
The pictures, they all told it
Of how your life unfolded
Of how the light dimmed in your eyes
And at the ripe old age of twenty-eight
You died
I'm in love with a dead girl
It figures it'd turn out this way
Because when you fall for a dead girl
You know you've come a little too late
I wasn't in the pictures
I wasn't in the moving pictures
And since we'd never spoken
you died heartbroken and alone
I wish I could have changed it
Gone back and rearranged it
And introduced myself to you
But the thing about time is
There's no way to rewind and review
Maybe you were born too early
Or maybe I was born too late
Maybe there's no need to hurry
Or maybe there's no time to wait
Your face was in the pictures
Your face was in the moving pictures
And though I'd never met you
though I'd never met you, I knew
Because I saw you in the pictures
I saw you and I knew who you were
All those years ago
Before I was born
