Chasing It Down

From EUREKA

Turn around, your life it will change
Without your consent, without your okay.
It happened again- I woke up today and everything changed.
All my friends and all my family suddenly don’t understand me – understand,
I’m not the man they think I am.

Try chasing it down, try chasing it down, try chasing it down
It don’t wanna be found, it don’t wanna be found, it don’t wanna be found

Favourite table, favourite waitress, favourite place -
It’s up in flames, it’s up for sale, it doesn’t matter anyhow.
Like anything that tasted sweet, it only tastes that way about a week –
Before, at best, gone bitter sweet.

Try chasing it down, try chasing it down, try chasing it down
It don’t wanna be found, it don’t wanna be found, it don’t wanna be found

Abigail, oh, baby gal, you had a name that said itself.
But funny how the name can change about the time you find
You’re sick of saying it – saying it, saying it, saying it – shoorah!

Had a thing so lovely, took every last part of me.
But funny once you’re into it, the all encompassing thing’s
Just a part of it – part of it, part of it, part of it – shoorah!

Try to get back there, try to get back there, try to get back there…
It’s a one shot deal, one shot deal, it’s a one shot deal…

Turn around, your life it will change
Without your consent, without your okay.
All my friends and all my family
Suddenly don’t understand me – understand,
I’m not the man they think I am.

Oh, where’d it go? Oh, where’d it go? Oh, where’d it go? Oh!

Try chasing it down, try chasing it down, try chasing it down
It don’t wanna be found, it don’t wanna be found, it don’t wanna be found

Try to get back there…

The Stand

From EUREKA

“Tell me your weakness”
Oh I keep it a secret
“Oh come on just one vice”
Okay it’s vodka on ice
But then there’s women on bikes
Or just the women who straddle
“Oh now you are a handful”
I forgot about handfuls.

“Tell me your fears”
Okay it’s everyone here
“You mean, just all of the people?”
Yeah, and all of their peers.
And all of their pets
And their chandeliers,
And their cigarettes -
I haven’t smoked in years.

I can hardly stand the sight of it all
I can hardly stand the sound of it all
I can hardly stand the taste of it all
I can hardly stand the smell of it all

“Talk about space”
Well it’s a beautiful place
“But it’s so damn cold”
Sure, for the human race,
But for the planets and the stars,
And everything else, and Mars
“It’s like paradise
Spread out with a butter knife.”

I can hardly stand the sight of it all
I can hardly stand the sound of it all
I can hardly stand the taste of it all
I can hardly stand the smell of it all
(Repeat)

I can hardly stand. I can hardly stand. Everyone’s fucked and they don’t even know…

I can hardly stand the sight of it all
I can hardly stand the sound of it all
I can hardly stand the taste of it all
I can hardly stand the smell of it all

I can hardly stand. I can hardly stand. Everyone’s fucked and they don’t even know…

Everyone’s fucked and they don’t even know.

Baby Don’t Dance

From EUREKA

She lookin’ like Stonehenge in Olde England
She don’t move, she don’t move, she don’t move -
She just stands
She doesn’t feel the sound – she feel for the ground
She like a dead fish in a cold pan –
She don’t give an inch to the band
She don’t, she don’t dance

My baby don’t dance. My baby don’t dance.
My baby don’t dance. Baby!!!

She doesn’t feel ashamed – she just feel estranged
To the sh-ha-ha-immy shake
She the straightest dame in the place -
She’s so, she’s so safe

Damn, my baby don’t dance
My baby don’t dance. My baby don’t dance.
My baby don’t dance. My baby doesn’t…

She don’t, she don’t dance…

“She lookin’ like a dead fish in a cold”…
She don’t – Ha!

My baby don’t dance. My baby don’t dance.
My baby don’t dance. My baby don’t dance.
My baby, yea-ha!

Original Spin

From EUREKA

It’s just the world. That’s all it is.
Toppling through outer space on a trip.
It’s just the world, big and round, now isn’t it?
Some kind of topical fish in a tropical storm.
We dig a blade in the rib cage of an ice age
And we twist until it’s warm.
You know it’s just the world (it was only Rome)
Trying to be something with an original spin.
An unoriginal sin (I’ve sinned before),
Just with a bottle of gin and the girl next door.

I think it’s spinning for mine, you think it’s spinning for yours.
It’s spinning for sure, but if it’s spinning for neither,
Than really can either of us be sure just what it’s spinning for?

Oh yeah, it’s just the world trying to be something;
Another Byzantine or Palestinian,
But with original spin, my friend.
An unoriginal sin (ph look, I’m sinning again),
Just with a bottle of gin and my baby cakes.

I think it’s spinning for mine, you think it’s spinning for yours.
It’s spinning for sure, but if it’s spinning for neither.
Than really can either of us be sure just what it’s spinning for?

Oh yeah, it’s just the world – all it is.
A little place in outer space on a trip.
It’s just the world, where you’re swimming or sinking;
Making a bed, laying in it – never to stop and think,
“It might be spinning for providence.”
Really, it ain’t. No really it ain’t.
I know it’s nice to say.

I think it’s spinning for mine, you think it’s spinning for yours.
It’s spinning for sure, I think it’s spinning for fun, fa-fa-fa-fun.
It must be fun to make ol’ mother earth shake!

It’s just the world…

Born In A Flash

From EUREKA

Photograph
Looking down at me, I’m looking at the past
Something about my family in high contrast
Something about my infancy in white and black
Something about my memories in a…

Photograph
A portrait of the past
Born in a flash

Polaroid
1954 it was a Polaroid
’55 through ’56 were all destroyed
Daddy was an anarchist
We can’t afford somebody catching wind of this here

Photograph
A portrait of the past
Born in a flash

Born in a flash, born in a flash
A little piece of the past
Born in a flash

Photograph
A portrait of the past
Born in a flash

Simply Simple

From EUREKA

Take me lightly, I’m not the way I ought to be –
I’m just the way I got to be.
Take me slowly or else you may come by injury –
I’ll hurt you emotionally.
Rock me baby until my eyes are closed and I’m asleep –
Then it’s safe for you to leave.
Call me lazy, for I have yet to let my soul free –
It’s still very much in my reach.

I just want it to unfold –
Simply simple
I’ll do everything I’m told –
Keep it simple.

You want babies – well, here I am so why now aren’t you pleased,
With a big baby like me?
(Mamma’s little baby, you’re mamma’s little baby
Yeah, you’re mamma’s little baby, just another little baby)
I’ll throw a fit and you will trip to pick up after it –
Domesticated bliss, ain’t it? Oh, no.

I just want it to unfold –
Simply simple
I’ll do everything I’m told –
Keep it simple.

Simply simple (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah).
Simply simple (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah).

I just want it to unfold. I’ll do everything I’m told.
I just want it to unfold –
Simply simple.

Problems

From EUREKA

You and me we’re not the same.
I am a sinner, you are a saint.
When we get to the pearly gates,
You’ll get the green light,
I’ll get the old door in the face.

Do, do, do – I’m a loser, a disgrace.

I found love in the strangest place –
Tied up and branded, locked in a cage.
I say, “I’m gonna stage a great escape.”
Let loose a love
All pent up and painfully out of place.

Do, do, do – I’m a loser, a disgrace.
You’re a beauty – a luminary in my face.
I got a lot of not a lot. I got a lot less than a lot.

I’ve got problems
Not just the ones that are little –
Big old people problems
It’s something to consider
When you come for dinner at my place.

I seem to find myself with the craziest of dames.
They get the ball on me (not to forget the chains).
Some say strange be a stranger’s game.
Some go to baseball,
Some go debase a face they can’t seem to save.

Do, do, do – I’m a loser, a disgrace.
You’re a beauty – a luminary in my face.
I got a lot of not a lot. I got a lot less than a lot.

I’ve got problems
Not just the ones that are little –
Big old people problems
It’s something to consider
When you come for dinner at my place.

Aspiring Fires

From EUREKA

Baby, so you think you know crazy?
I think you know what you know,
But what you know you don’t know for sure.
Baby, you wanna see me crazy?
Well, I’ll show you what that’s like,
And then I’ll wave goodbye as you run for your life.

A little advice for aspiring fires
You get put out if you don’t get a little wild
Try again, try again, it ain’t right
You don’t got the due diligence to lose your mind
You’re not getting it right

Maybe you’re watching too much TV.
Because crazy in the box
Is everything that crazy’s not.

A little advice for aspiring fires
You get put out if you don’t get a little wild
Try again, try again, it ain’t right
You don’t got the due diligence to lose your mind -
I’m losing my mind

I’m losing my mind again –
I’d advise a friend not to try it if they ain’t crazy.

A little advice for aspiring fires
You get put out if you don’t get a little wild
Try again, try again, it ain’t right
You don’t got the due diligence to lose your mind
You’re not getting it right.

Baby, you wanna see me crazy?
Well, I’ll show you what that’s like,
And then I’ll wave goodbye as you run for your life.

Getaway

From EUREKA

In a dream, on a wave –
I could tunnel underground or I could float away…
From it all, on a holiday – bon voyage…
I wanna get away from what I know.

I could shoot into the sun.
I could be the bullets of a Gatling gun.
Disappear, another Dillinger on the run…
I wanna get away from everything and everyone.

We gotta get away from it all
We gotta get away from everything we’ve come to know
We gotta get gone – like a holiday, but for longer
Away from all the silly things that haunt us

I could explode…
Oh what I’d give to be a super nova.
Oh, if I could be blown to bits I would, yeah.

We gotta get away from it all
We gotta get away from everything we’ve come to know
We gotta get gone – like a holiday, but for longer
Away from all the silly things that haunt us

And when you run from it darling, baby,
Would you think about taking me?

We gotta get away from it all
We gotta get away from it all
We gotta get away from it all
We gotta get away from it all

Far In Time

From EUREKA

He don’t walk along with anybody,
He just walking with himself.
She don’t stop to talk to anybody,
She just talking to her own self.
You don’t right a wrong for anybody,
You just put it on your shelf.
‘Cause I don’t get along with anybody,
I just get on by myself – myself.

We are so far in time
To be all apart

I could talk a lot of hot talk
At a potluck with my peers.
But the walls at home, they got the right tone -
Quiet, tender, sincere.
A little ant hill go down the landfill,
It’s a symbol of the age.
Where the dying art is the sum of the parts,
And apart is where we stay – I say.

We are so far in time
To be all apart, to be all untied
From each other, each other
Oh yeah, we are so far in time

He be living by himself.
She’s alone up in her head.
Are they alone or are they dead?
Just by themselves?
All by themselves.

I don’t walk along with anybody.
I don’t stop to talk to anybody.
I don’t right a wrong for anybody –
Not for anybody, not for anybody,
But myself.

We are so far in time
To be all apart, to be all untied
From each other, each other
Oh yeah, we are so far in time

Oleander

From EUREKA

You stood beside me when I was out of my mind.
I broke the glass and you were there to sweep it aside.
And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me.

I make a mess and you’ll be there to help me undress.
I’ll be unclean, I’ll be obscene – you be the rest.
And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me.

Like an oleander
Like white leaves
Of an Oleander
White, like me

I’m like a child in a sty, I play with fire,
I burn you right out, I burned your bible,
You tried to cry – could only smile.
And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me.
Rest assured, it you leave…

Like an oleander
Like white leaves
Of an Oleander
White like me
Oh, the oleander
White white leaves
Of an oleander
White like me

Ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah!

Calm Me Down

From EUREKA

Calm me down. Calm me down.
I’m inside out and upside down.
Hold my head in your hands
To calm me down – get it out.

Get it out. Get it out.
Use your teeth and your mouth.
Cut in deep to pull it out.
Oh, no, I’m aroused, now, I’m aroused.
You better calm me down, calm me down –
Use your teeth and your mouth.

Use your body
Use it to put me asleep
Your body, oh, sooth my soul
So beautiful

All my life, oh, all my life
I hurt myself and cut myself.
Put myself through living hell
Do I could feel what I felt,
When you took me in – absolved my sins
With your flesh and skin – use your skin.

Use your body
Use it to put me asleep
Your body, oh, soothe my soul
So beautiful

Calm me down, baby
Your teeth, your mouth and me
Happily married, baby.
Calm me right down.

Use your body
Use it to put me asleep
Your body, oh…
Use your body
Use it to put me asleep
Your body, oh, soothe my soul
So beautiful

I wanna be a good man. Don’t wanna be no has-been.
I wanna be a real friend. Don’t wanna break when I bend.
I wanna be a sweet son. Don’t wanna fight with my mom.
I wanna be no seeker. I wanna scream, “EUREKA!”

O My Heart

From O My Heart

O my heart it’s a fish out of water
O my heart it’s a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
O my heart it’s a rock in the gutter
O my heart it’s a rocking great bolder and stuck in the gutter

And I throw my heart back to the ocean
But it don’t go far it come back floating
And I watch it wash up with the dead fish
But it ain’t quite dead it just is lifeless

O my heart it’s a house in tornado
O my heart it’s a house in the sky in the eye of tornado
O my heart it’s a roof in El Nino
O my heart it’s a roof made of straw in the jaw of El Nino

And I pour my heart a new foundation
But it don’t set hard it just stays shaking
And I scratch my name I scratch my name in
But it don’t set hard it gets mixed back in

Bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum,
Bum, bum, bum,
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum,
bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum,
bum, bum, bum

Bridge

O my heart it’s fish out of water
O my heart it’s a rock in the gutter
O my heart it’s a black in a rainbow
O my heart it’s so damn cold

And I throw my heart into the fire
Cuz I want to set my heart on fire
And I watch it try befriending embers
But the ice don’t melt in mid December

O my heart it’s a fish out of water
O my heart it’s a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun

Burning Pile

From O My Heart

All my style, all my grace
All I try to save my face
All my guts, try to spill
All my holes, try to fill
All my money’s been a long time spent
On my drugs, on my rent
On my saving philosophy
It goes, one in the bank and the rest for me

It goes,

All my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I catch fire than I’ll change my aim
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates

My mamma, lonely maid
Got her buns in the oven then she never got laid
My papa, renaissance man
Sailed away and he never came back again

All my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I catch fire than I’ll change my aim
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
All my woebegones begone
I said, all you troubles
You don’t mean a thing

All my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile if
I catch fire than I’ll change my aim
Throw my troubles at the world again

It goes,

All my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I catch fire than I’ll take my turn
To burn and burn and burn

Ba, ba, ba ba…..

Body Of Years

From O My Heart

All the remains of a cadaver of days
I keep hidden away, keep them there just in case
I want to visit that place and blow the dust from the bones
Off a body of years that I leave all alone
Just a body of years

See the skin disappears and the blood turns to stone
In a body of years now a pile of bones
Like a sheet of veneers
Each a piece of my soul
Like a body of years that I leave all alone
It’s just a body of years now a pile of bones, you know

Old soul who falls down
Can’t stop tripping on these old roads I go down
Get back up and get my…

Foot in the door and my face on the page
Make my mark in the world with a bat and a blade
Just a body of work that you can’t ever change
Like a body of years that you take to your grave

It’s just a body of years
That I leave all alone
Just a body of years
Now a pile of bones
Like a sheet of veneers
Each a piece of my soul

Old soul who falls down
Can’t stop tripping on these
Old roads I go down
Get back up but I’m an
Old soul who falls down
Can’t stop tripping on these
Old roads

It’s just a body of years
That I leave all alone
Just a body of years
Now a pile of bones
Like a sheet of veneers
Each a piece of my soul
Like a pile of shit I can’t seem to forget
Just a body of years that I leave all alone

Tell tale diary pages
They unveil a ghost from the ages
When bodies of years were breaking from all of the weight
Of diary pages
Tell tale diary pages
Ah ah ah ah ah

Try To Change

From O My Heart

Try to change
I try to change
I make a list of all the ways to change my ways
But I stay the same
I stay the same
Oh oh oh
I will try and try to change but I just stay the same

Stay the same
I stay the same
In a decadent age I try to change all my decadent ways
But I just can’t help but stay the same
In a decadent age
Oh oh oh
I will try and try to change but I just stay the same
The same, the same, the same

Carry a cane, I carry a cane
Cuz I tried to change and I tried to hard
So I hurt my leg and well over all
I just stayed the same
Now I carry a cane
Oh oh oh
I will try and try to change but the list I made of change to make
It blew away
Flew away
Blew away
Flew away…

Try to change
Try to change
I try change
Try to change

Everybody be trying to change
Trying to change
I try to change
I try

It’s safe to say some don’t change

Wisdom

From O My Heart

Folding my clothes and I feel useless
Don’t think I know how to do this
Once I was told but like any misfit
I spit on that good advice

Out in the cold and trying to make fire
Two sticks and stone, still got no fire
Once I was shown but I was inside then
And spit on that good advice

Wisdom, wisdom
Where can I get some?
Wisdom, wisdom

On the pay role, digging up ditches
Dollar is low, so are my wages
Once I was told just how to get rich
But I spit on that good advice

Wisdom, wisdom
Where can I get some?
Wisdom, wisdom

Ah, ah, ah…

Wisdom, wisdom
Where can I get some?
Wisdom, wisdom

I gotta trade my dimwits in for tips
Tips equipped with wisdom
Wisdom

Take off my clothes and I feel useless
Don’t think I know how to do this
Once I was told but I like to fidget
And miss out on good advice

Body

From O My Heart

Take my eyes, take them aside
Take my face and desecrate
My arms and legs, they get in the way

Take my hands, they’ll understand
Take my heart, pull it apart
And take my brains, they get in the way

Cuz I’ve grown tired of this body
Cumbersome and heavy body

Take my lungs, take them and run
Take my tongue, go have some fun
And take the ears, take them and disappear

Take my joints, take them for points
Take my teeth, tear through my cheeks
And take the nose, take it and go dispose
Just go dispose, just go dispose

Cuz I’ve grown tired of this body
Cumbersome and heavy body
I’ve grown tire of this body
Fall apart without me, body

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Take my eyes, take them aside
Take my face and desecrate
Arms and legs get in the way
Bodies break

I’ve grown tired of this body
Cumbersome and heavy body
I’ve grown tire of this body
Fall apart without me, body

I’ve grown tire of this body
Cumbersome and heavy
Tired this body
Fall apart without me

Tired of this body
Tired of this body

Ghosting

From O My Heart

I’ve been ghosting
I’ve been ghosting along
Ghost in your house
Ghost in your arms
When you’re tossing
When you turn in your sleep
It’s because I’m ghosting your dreams

And this is why I have decided
To pull these old white sheets from my head
I’ll leave them folded neat and tidy
So that you’ll know I’m out of hiding

I’ve been ghosting
I’ve been ghosting alone
Ghost in the world
Ghost with no home
I remember
I remember the days
When I’d make you oh, so afraid

And this is why I have decided
To leave your house and home unhaunted
You don’t need poltergeist for sidekicks
You don’t need treats and you don’t need tricks

You don’t need treats
You don’t need tricks
You don’t need no Halloween

You don’t need treats
You don’t need tricks
And you don’t need me

Hey, would it be so bad if I stayed
I’m just a ghost out of his grave
And I can’t make love in my grave
I won’t put white into your hair
I won’t make noises in your stairs
I will be kind and I will be sweet
If you stop staring straight through me

And this is why I have decided
To pull these old white sheets from my head
I’ll leave them folded neat and tidy
So that you’ll know I’m out of hiding

And this is why I have decided
To leave your house and home unhaunted
You don’t need poltergeist for sidekicks
You don’t need treats and you don’t need tricks

You don’t need treats
You don’t need tricks
You don’t need no Halloween

You don’t need treats
You don’t need tricks
You don’t need no Hallows Eve

You don’t need treats
You don’t need tricks
And you don’t need me

From O My Heart

My daddy’s got a gun
My daddy’s got a gun
My daddy’s got a gun
You better run
My daddy’s got a gun
My daddy’s got a gun

It started with the hay loft a-creaking
Well it just started in the hay loft
With his long john’s on Pop went a-creeping
Out to barn out to the hay
Young lovers and they are not sleeping
Young lovers in the hay loft
With his gun turned on Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn out to the hay loft

It started with the hay loft a-creaking
Well it just started in the hay
With his long john’s on Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn out to the hayloft
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots
With his long tall gun Pop went a-creeping
To blow the hay loft dead head straight off

My daddy’s got a gun
My daddy’s got a gun
My daddy’s got a gun

Wrecking Ball

From O My Heart

I made a wreck out of my hand
I put it through the wall
I made a fist and not a plan
Call me a reckless wrecking ball
I throw my plates against the wall
And give it all I got
I aim to break not one, but all
I’m just a big old wrecking ball

I am unruly in the stands
I am a rock on top of the sand
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I break it just because I can

It takes a dedicated hand
To put it through the wall
You got to want to break the hearts
Of all those pretty porcelain dolls
You got to want to be the drummer in the band
You got to want to be a battering ram
You got to see the artistry
In tearing the place apart with me, baby

I am unruly in the stands
I am a rock on top of the sand
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I break it just because I can

Let’s break it
Just because we can
Deface it
Just because we can
Let’s break it just because

I am unruly in the stands
I am a rock on top of the sand
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I made a wreck out of my hand
I made a fist and not a plan
And I break it just because I can

Because I can

Arms Tonite

From O My Heart

I fell in your arms tonite
I fell hard in your arms tonite
It was nice
I died in your arms tonite
I slipped through into the after life
It was nice
White light in your arms tonite
I lost sight in your arms tonite
It was nice

And hey, you
Don’t you think it’s kind of cute
That I died right inside your arms tonite
That I’m fine even after I have died
Because it was in your arms I died

I cry in the after life
I cry hard because I have died and you’re alive
I try to escape after life
I try hard to get back inside your arms alive

And hey, you
Don’t you think it’s kind of cute
That I tried to escape the after life
That I tried to get back in your arms alive
That I died in your arms that night

I fell hard in your arms
I went and died in your arms that night

I fell in your arms tonight
Suicide in your arms

And hey you don’t you think it’s kind of cute
That I died right inside your arms tonite
That I’m fine even after I have died
That I tried to get back in your arms alive
That I died in your arms that night

I fell in your arms tonite
I died in your arms tonite
White light in your arms tonite
I fell in your arms tonite

Miles

From O My Heart

Miles and miles and miles
Before we reach the sand
Cacti and cacti for miles
Miles of dry land
Dry land

We gonna make it
Ooh we gonna make it
We gonna take it
Ooh we gonna take it easy
Once we feel the sea breeze

My lover, my maker, my breaker
Take me by the hand
We could go walking for miles
Once we reach the sand
The sand

We gonna make it
Ooh we gonna make it
We gonna take it
Ooh we gonna take it easy
Once we leave the city

We gonna make it
Ooh we gonna make it
We gonna take it
Ooh we gonna take it
We gonna make it
Yeah we gonna make it easy
Easier

We gonna make it
Ooh we gonna make it
We gonna take it
Ooh we gonna take it easy

Sleep Awake

From O My Heart

Protecting you
Protecting me
I throw the evidence into a trunk
And drop it in the sea

Ly awake
I sleep awake
I sleep with eye on the bedroom door
The other on the cake

Protecting me
Protecting you
Carving away our finger prints out of
Our finger tips until they’re smooth

Ly awake
I sleep awake
I sleep with one hand on my royal flush
The other on the take
Sleep awake

Protecting this
Protecting that
Call it a dead beat with his dead bolt
Wrapped around his artifact
Protecting that

Ly awake
I sleep awake
I go to bed with all my lights turned on
So I don’t slip away
I stay awake
Out on the street I keep a started car
Who only waits for me
Conveniently

Ly awake
I sleep awake
Ly awake
I sleep awake
