I can't really say
It might be a waste
Wasteful lives give way to the waiting game
No such thing as choice
I chose you today
Spin out into space
Now and always
Please
Take me
To the next place
Bye, baby

Devotion

I know that these days devotion's a dirty word
But my baby's all I wanna do
You may talk louder, but I don't hear a word
Conviction wasted on something that ain't true
There's an evil that runs through this town
I can feel it in the wind that whips my hair
I've seen some strange things as the years have come and passed
Strange things they come to pass oh, way out there
It isn't in me to look the other way
And when I look, I look right through you
You're always starving, but don't choke on the cake
When you force me to watch you eat it, too
I know that these days devotion's a dirty word
But my baby...

Salesman

Like a shabby salesman
Being splashed by a puddle
As he misses the bus
He needed to catch
I'm a mustard stain
On your shirt some days
Making you ashamed
As we both
Go nowhere fast
And I know failing
And don't you know a thing or two
About a thing or two
About something like that
Shake off that malaise
Glance at me sideways
Making me ashamed
Making me ashamed

Oh it's been fun, dear
How I've searched for something ordinary
But now I want it in the past
All those old eras that you never will remember right
Only serve to remind that nothing lasts
Night falls again on the hushed world, and all I see
Looking up to the clouded, starless sky beyond the trees
At a black veil between me and the galaxy
Well the sun shines in my eyes every morning
Yeah, and the cars, they keep me up all night
Stuck to the couch just like a hair stuck to a band-aid
Yeah, I'll pine away while I lie awake tonight
Night falls again on the hushed world, and all I see
Looking up to the clouded, starless sky beyond the trees
At a black veil between me and the galaxy
A black veil between me and the galaxy
A black veil between me and the galaxy

Thanks for That

You want your autonomy
And you wanna do your own thing
And you want someone to hold at the end of the day
Well, it's okay
Go your own way
You want that feather in your cap
And you want that wind at your back
And you want me to go to work while you lay down for your nap
And thank you, babe
Now that I'm trapped
It's no secret, oh the way it goes
The things you do when you're alone
With feet planted firmly far below those faithless eyes that roam
While someone waits
For you at home
Well ain't ya free?
Now that you're through?
Yeah, I'm free
Now I'm through with you
Well ain't ya free?
Now that you're through?
Yeah, I'm free
Now I'm through with you

Oh darling, don't you remember
When your life had romance and meaning?
Darling, you glowed like a firefly
Darling, you were so appealing
Your eyes danced like moonlight on the water
On the lake where we paddled the boat
Where the frogs jumped
And the fishes swam
And the water lilies did float
Well, we laughed all night
'Cause I'm so funny
And we played cards and we drank
And I told you how I loved you, honey
Right before the boat sank
Now I walk the shore with you no more
I'm so lonesome here on the bank
With my memories to keep me company
And only you to thank
Now I know you're off with someone else
And I hope she makes you blue
And I hope you'll think of the fun we had
On the boat when it was just us two
There's resignation in your eyes
When you look at your new girl
Well don't you mind
You won't ever find
Another like me in this whole world

Look Twice

What could be
Dragging you
Dragging you down?
Will you stay on the ground?
What could be
Dragging you
Dragging you down?
When I see you around
Wealth, it never makes wise
Look twice!
You can never really trust your eyes
What could be
Dragging you
Dragging you down?
When I see you around

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
