Why did you say those things? I still can't figure that one in my brain
The letters in the sky are listening as they go rolling by
And, by and by, we see the side effects of pure security
With all of the above, how could you believe our love? 
Well

You didn't have to go there, what did you expect?
One more time around and you're my prime suspect

Another Saturday, we're locking up and hanging up our friends
The lap of luxury, a storybook, and everyone pretends
They're planting daisies now around the wooden boxes down the street
A quick donation and the cops, they got the beat
Yeah

But we don't have to be here, not in some respects
But one more time around and we'll be their next suspects

The letters in the sky, they spell out names I still can't recognize
And sometimes when they do, the only thing that's on my mind is you
Another Saturday, the pseudonyms are falling to the ground
So if you're needing me, I think that you can guess where I'll be found

Shake Your Bones  (1-20-16)

Snowflakes collect on my window pane
I can't wait for spring
That's when I feel no pain
And I'm in love with everything
And it lasts all night
And I feel alright

The temperature is dropping low
I don't got no place to go
The cold creeps in through the window
Icy breath and frozen toes
And it lasts all night
But I feel alright

Thoughts all fade behind a cigarette
Can't recall what I'm trying to forget
I feel the wind on the back of my neck
I got nothing to protect
But I feel alright
And it lasts all night

Winter Song (1-20-16)

I grew up with you, you know I did
I wouldn't lie to you, you know I did

You can't see me, when you see
You can't see me anymore, can't you see?
But I...

got something for you, you know I did
I'm not waiting for you, you know I did
And now I...

got nothing for you, yeah, no idea

But I...
got some kind of truth, you know I did

No Idea (1-20-16)

Well, it's a common misconception that I'm a really nice guy
But the truth of the situation is I constantly lie
And I'm gonna break your heart
Yeah, I'm gonna break your heart

Well, maybe someone told you I would love and cherish you
I hate to burst your bubble, but it simply isn't true
No, I'm gonna break your heart, right into, girl
I'm gonna break your heart

Don't believe a word you read and don't believe in half of what you hear
Heartache's just a beat away, so little girl, you better stand clear

I've told you how it is and now I'm trying to be polite
So go on and find another who you know will treat you right
Cos I'm gonna break your heart, yes I will, girl
I'm gonna break your heart

Don't believe a word you read and don't believe in half of what you hear
Heartache's just a beat away, so little girl, you better disappear

I've told you how it is and now I'm trying to be polite
So go on and find a lover who you know will do ya right
Cos I'm gonna break your heart, right into, girl
I'm gonna break your heart

I'm gonna break your heart, girl
Don't even start, girl
Ya know it's true, 
and what can you do?
I'll tear your world apart
Yeah, I'm gonna break your heart

I WILL Break Your Heart (1-20-16)

You know it's hard for me to tell it like it is
I can't remember which is yours and just exactly what is "his"
but I keep guessing anyway, what's more for me to do?
My head's been bolted down but I just needed a couple screws

But Mary, sweet Mary, sweet Mary,
won't you hold my hat?
And Mary, sweet Mary, sweet Mary, 
give up what you're giving back, uh-huh 

I know you hate things just the way they are
And I don't think I could blame you if you went too far
You know what's best for me, even when you want me dead
and you throw the cactus needles all across our bed

But Mary, sweet Mary, sweet Mary, 
There's pages missing from our book
And Mary, sweet Mary, sweet Mary,
I can't stand it when you look that look, uhn-uh

And when the tide rolls in, we'll push it all away, 
throw the anchors off our chests, and call it Independence Day

And if the saints don't show, we'll tell them they missed out
And they'll believe us, all except for Thomas, he always had his doubts
And if they do, then what more can we say?
I'll tell 'em you're schizophrenic and you can tell everyone that I am gay

But Mary, sweet Mary, sweet Mary,
Parting is such sorrow
And Mary, sweet Mary, sweet Mary, 
I'll see you again tomorrow

Sweet Mary Sweet (1-20-16)

She's got a bag that she keeps her face in
A crack in her skull that lets the sun in
And you'd do anything for her, wouldn't you?

The little red corvette in your driveway
Used to belong to Prince
But now it's yours and you're bored

But everything is coming up roses
News is nothing, you should know this
Life is for the living anyway

The Camel Crushes in your pocket
are no match for a box of chocolates
But change is always slow, you should know by now

Skeletons all mixed in gravel
Your heart's a spade, your mind's a trowel
Your gardens never quite match the magazines

But everything is coming up roses
News is nothing, you should know this
Life is for the living anyway

One glad morning, when this life is over, I'll fly away
One glad morning, when this life is over, I'll fly away

Coming Up Roses  (1-20-16)

Should ever you need a dreamer, should ever you need a friend
For a light in the dark, a means to an end
Call me, and I'll be around

Should ever you want the Andes, Oyster crackers, or the Taj Mahal
For a little bit of nothing, a lot of it all
Call me, and I'll be around

I'll be around when you need me, I'll be around when you don't
You know I'll be what you need me to be

As much as you feel like taking, as much as you need from me
Whatever has happened, whatever will be, 
Call me, and I'll be around

I'll be around when you need me, I'll be around when you don't
You know I'll be what you need to me to be

Should ever you feel a bit lonely, should life not turn out like you planned
For an ear that will listen, a blanketed hand
Call me, and I'll be around
Call me, and I'll be around
I want you to call me
Cos I'll be around

I'll Be Around  (1-20-16)

Well, I'm in love with Jill Nancy, but Jill Nancy can't be true
The only thing that woman knows is how to make me blue
Jill Nancy, baby, where have you been?
Well I could reach right out and touch you
But I just don't know what shape you are in

I took Jill Nancy to the show to make a little time
She slipped on out while I was standing in the popcorn line
Jill Nancy, baby, where have you been?
Well I could reach right out and touch you
But I just don't know what shape you are in

Found Jill Nancy later, yeah, and she was shootin' pool
Seated 'round her table was-a seven other fools
Jill Nancy, baby, where have you been?
Well I could reach right out and touch you 
But I just don't know what state you are in

Finally caught the city bus and shuffled on inside
Before that bus could pull away, I heard the driver cry
"Jill Nancy, hey baby! Where have you been?"
Well he could reach right out and touch her
But he didn't know where she had been

I came home last night, I don't remember when
I saw Jill Nancy coming down my alley once again
Jill Nancy, baby, where have you been?
Well I could reach right out and touch you
But I just don't know what shape you are in

Said I could reach right out and touch you
But I just don't know where you have been

Said I could reach right out and touch you
But I just don't know what shape you are in

Jill Nancy (1-20-16)

I've been stranded on this isle
I've been down for a little while
But maybe, you'll show me a little smile

Sit down here, right next to me
There's a way that all's to be
But maybe, you'll show me a little smile

Well, there's no guarantee of nothing that we haven't seen before
And though I've seen a lot that's going, I know there's plenty more in store

I would walk for miles and miles
But you know that's just not my style
But maybe, you'll show me a little smile

Well, there's no guarantee of nothing that we haven't seen before
And though I've seen a lot that's going, I know there's plenty more in store

Let me in a little bit
And when it gets too much, I'll quit
But maybe, I'll show you a little smile

Throw your fits into a  pile
We'll dance across the kitchen tile
And maybe, you'll show me a little smile
Yeah maybe, you'll show me a little smile
Maybe, you'll show me a little smile
