Song lyrics

World of Noise (1993)

• I call you once a year just around the holiday,
  I still see your in the night lying above me in the grass
  I can't smile.
  • Fire Maple Song

Sparkle and Fade (1995)

• I am sick again- just plain sick to death,
  Of the sound of my own voice.
  • Summerland

• Don't fall down now you will never get up.- Metaphor for quitting drugs, Strawberry

• It's hard on a girl when the blood won't come when it ought to come,
  Hey, hey, daddy's going away.
  • Pale Green stars

So Much for the Afterglow (1997)

• You do what you do, you say what you say,
  You try to be everything to everyone,
  You know all the right people, you play all the right games,
  You always try to be everything to everyone.

• You say they taught you how to read and write,
  They taught you how to count,
  I say they taught you how to buy and sell,
  Your own body by the pound,
  I think you like to be their simple toy,
  I think you love to play the clown,
  I think you blind to the fact,
  That the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down."
  • Everything to Everyone

• The prozac doesn't do it for me anymore
  • Normal Like You

Songs From An American Movie Pt 2

• Something bad is
  Going to happen
  I can feel it deep inside
  There are shadows
  All around me
  Like a bad moon on the rise.
  • Out of my Depth
    
    

• Out of my depth
  Right from the start
  I feel like I was born
  With an invisible heart
  Out of my depth
  Seems like everyday
  I can't find the words
  To make the good things
  Come my way.
  • Out of my Depth

Slow Motion Daydream (2003)

• This is your American dream
  Everything is simple in the
  White and the black
  You will never need to see the grey anymore
  You will never have to be afraid
  When you are happy with the blackjack.
  • Blackjack
    
    

• I don't want to hear you say you're sorry
  I don't want to hear you say we can start all over again
  I think you must think that I am stupid
  Well I might be stupid for the rest of my life
  But I'll never be stupid to you again
  I just want it all to go away.
  • Blackjack
