There's a rabbit in my room
And I don't know what it's doing
But it isn't all right with me

Guess I let it in my life
Guess we had some good old times
But they've passed and they've passed again

When I look at the spit in your eye
I have to wonder why did you lie

Guess I'll never see it again
Guess it never was my friend
But it seemed and it seemed so real 

Rabbit In My Room

I want to sleep but the windows won't keep out the light. 
Those stupid shades they never, never work right. 
Maybe some day we can fix the problem. 
Maybe that day will be tomorrow. 
But please oh not today. 

I want to weep when I think of what happened to him. 
I won't repeat, but I really do miss you Old Jim. 
Maybe some day we can get together. 
Maybe that day will be forever. 
But please oh not today. 

Please Oh Not Today

We've had our medicines, 
Hallucinations, TV dinners, 
And therapy sessions.
Sometimes I'm so happy here
I never want to leave

Everybody so happy now that
We are in the nut house 
Oh, everybody so happy now
That we are in the nuhouse

Every problem has a simple solution
Fits right here, in my palm. 
The yellow pills make me think too fast
But the blue ones keep me calm

Everybody so happy now 
That we are in the nut house

And sometimes I never want to leave here
I promise you, I promise you
I never will

Everybody So Happy Now (We Are In The Nuthouse)

It's a hard road to take
Every day and we shake
In the wind where we wait
For our ride out of town 
It's a cold hard embrace
This grey winter place 
Where we shiver, lord
How do we shimmer

It's a habit to break 
Struggling for the shape 
Of the melody and the words

Sweet little chords that I write 
On the page I can' wait to hear
From you again
Your cold hard embrace 
This grey winter place 
Where we shiver, lord
How do we shimmer

And they say
It's a hard road to take
It's a hard road to take
It's a hard road to take

It's A Hard Road To Take

Well I think about the cemetery
All my friends there
All my friends there
Think about whiskey shots and 
the backwards game and 
the empty plots that
wait outside for me

I guess that zombie army 
Was beaten by the cops
Guess I'll never smell 
The stinky creek again
But everything will be just fine
Like a phoenix 
Every time I light my bowl 
It takes me back to

Back to the cemetery
All my friends there 
All my friends there
Back to old Lefty's shower
Megan's painting 
One more red stripe
Take it outside with me


Cemetery

There's no need to fear any longer
Now that you're alone
There's only one who can harm you
And I'm afraid you've gone

There's no need to fear any weeping
Now that the baby's been born
From the mouths of babes and sucklings
A whole new word has been torn

There's no need to fear any stranger
Now that you've given up the ghost
Embrace the end of the listing wind
Truly nothing's been lost

There's no need to fear any longer
Now that the autopsy's done
The report was clean and empty
They've filed it down in the dust

No Fear

This would be the worst day ever
If I lost my key
I haven't got another one on me
On me
So let's go to the hardware store
And there we'll 
There we'll see
If they can make a copy of 
The one you gave to me

This will be the first December
Since I lost your hand
And I hope that we both can try
Try to make amends
The key to understanding is 
Locked up in our hearts
The presents are in the mail 
And you know...that's a start




If I Lost My Key (Acoustic)

Oh look out
You never made that second left
On our way to Carrefour
A distant voyage to India
We never made
We thought it best to turn around

Turn around
I'll see your face 
Through the smog of this prison
And I'll meet you again at 
the Wuchang Train Station
8 hours to Hong Kong 
And a boat to our freedom
I want you to know 
There's a hand on your shoulder
Tonight

Oh look out
You never laid that bone to rest
On our way. We're on our way. 
A distant voyage we never made
We thought it best to turn around
