ANA11093 Andrew (revisited)

Red Eyes think of me kindly
Kindly they’ll take me
I’ll be your story
Child you think of
Looking at headlights
From inside your window
It’s cold in your room

And I’m in your window
Loosing my shadow
And now I’m twenty three
There’s three at your table
Speak to her softly
As if I’m beside her
Just like my father
I’ll be alright

Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t

Sleep now that everything’s undone
I’m brushing your hair back
They’re calling you home
Oh Mrs. Darling, what did they tell you?
If I start to shake
I got it from you

Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it
Undone and I can’t forget about it

ANA11095 Tigers on Trains

If you’re heading for the coast
Hearing voices up ahead you
Who am I to let you go?
You’re a wrecking ball
Can you kiss me slowly?

We can turn the headlights off
All our friends and all their voices
Falling silent in the car
And do you remember?
The fog was lifting

Tigers on trains watching you go
Head in the glass fogging up the windows
And you’re never gonna come back
Not much for you here
You’re never gonna come back
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

Now you’re heading for the show
All your memories through a broken telecaster
Would you be here in the fall?
And a long december, pull me closer

Say this town is for the ghosts
And I’m buried in the rocks, dear
If you’re leaving let me know
Is it in the paper? Is it in your bloodstream?

Tigers on trains watching you go
Head in the glass fogging up the windows
And you’re never gonna come back
You don’t really care
You’re never gonna come back
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

Oh oh oh it’s alright
Oh oh oh it’s alright
Oh oh oh it’s alright
Oh oh oh it’s alright

ANA11096 Guest Room

I’ve got a job in the city
I’ve got a house with a guest room I don’t know who’s there
Got a person that loves me
She hates the way that I talk, I smoke, I stare

I’m a king in a castle
I’m the ghost in the corner, holes cut out in the sheet
I’m about to be thirty
I’m dead and I’m gone, that’s alright with me

Just give me something to live for
(Oh)
Give me something to do when I turn out the light
So hard being honest
(Oh)
But I’ll try
Everything’s fine right now, everything’s fine

I am storming the castle
I am turning my head hundred eighty degrees
My whole body is hurting
I am burning my last will and testimony

Calling friends from high school
Telling people I love them they don’t know my name
Writing songs for my parents
They’ve always been there for me hope that I do the same

(Ah)
Just give me something to live for
(Oh)
Give me something to do when I turn out the light
So hard being honest
(Oh)
But I’ll try
Everything’s fine right now, everything’s

I got something to live for
(Oh)
I got someone to talk to at the end of the night
Just trying to be honest
(Oh)
Figure out all the things that make me feel alright
I’m gonna go to a party
(Oh)
Take drugs from strangers
(Oh)
Black out in the kitchen
(Oh)
Wake up in the guest room

ANA11098 Melatonin

Now Jane
Standing over in her nightgown
She’s got the phone cord twisted ring finger
She’s a sight to see
See jane
Why you staring out the window
With the red eyes tell me his name
That got you tangled up

Now Jane
She’s a lover like a pipe bomb
She’s got the pink sunglasses high heels
Gonna walk it out
Now Jane
Whatchya doing in the backseat
I always thought you were a front seat
Cadillac burning up the town with us

She said you feeling all right
Cause you look like hell
I think I’m doing just fine
As far as i can tell

Well its just so easy
When everybody talks so carefully
But you’re my melatonin daydream
Pretend you don’t but you know
You know you know
That they all want you
Theres nothing else you really can do
And if you could you wouldn’t want to
Oh i know

Now Jane
Where the hell did all your friends go
They got a job in the city and a kid
Used to be so close
Jane
You remember what you told me
When we were standing in the bathroom,
Midnight baby we were so messed up

You said well you can be mine
I wouldn’t mind being yours
I wouldn’t take up your time
And i could sleep on the floor

Well its just so easy
When everybody talks so carefully
But your my melatonin daydream
Pretend you don’t but you know
You know you know
That they all want you
Theres nothing else you really can do
And if you could you wouldn’t want to
Oh i know

ANA11101 Velvet

Kama Sutra
Does it suit ya?
Your velvet dress is slipping off
Would you stay with me?

It’s coming through ya
Never knew ya
Never knew how much it’d mean
When you spoke to me

But everyone needs something
I know that I’m no different

Swore picket fences
Meet your parents
Cast your shoes off in the pool
Don’t it seem?

Carolina
Treat you better
I won’t steal and I won’t cheat
Would you stay with me?

But everyone needs something
I know that I’m no different
And if you’re not home I’ll be happy for you
I’m happy for you

ANA11103 Pontiac

You leaned in closer
I should have kissed you then
Your hair was longer
I pulled away from it
And moved to the city
Over the Tappan Zee Bridge
You like the colors
I can’t see anything

I’ll be your coffee
I’ll be your poster child
Walking like Jesus
When all the stores are closed
You think of drowning
Out in your parents pool
The water’s freezing
It was September

I think I know you
I was here before the start of the storm
It’s all around you now you’re coming back home
Now you’re coming back

You own that glimmer
I should have told you then
Now more than ever
The broken pieces fit
Scars and confetti
Sawmill and pontiac clips
You kept Valhalla
I still want everything

I’ll be your sweater
You be my wailing wall
Fighting like Ghandi
When all the lines are down
You dream of flying
Over the Zuiderzee
The sky was yellow
I still remember

I think I know you
I was here before the start of the storm
It’s all around you now you’re coming back home
Now you coming back
I think I know you
We were here before the start of the storm
It’s all around us now we’re coming back home

ANA11105 Death by Telephone

Baby, I think I’m finally starting to get you
She told me through here teeth and her perfume
I never want to see you again

But in the morning she’s pulling off her clothes in the bathroom
I’m standing in the hall I’ll be gone soon
Who did I think I was?

And it’s breaking up again
Telephone lines
Wrapped around my neck
I don’t want to think about
Anything you said

And now you’re living on the south side
Staring at the cars as they pass by
Drinking up the smoke if you’re too high
You’re never gonna come back down

And you said that it was Jesus
Who broke into your room in an earthquake
And shook you from your bed, all the glass frames
Shattered on the carpet floor

And it’s breaking up again
Telephone lines
Wrapped around my neck
I don’t want to think about
Anything you said
I don’t want to think about
Anything you said

ANA11109 Milk Carton

You’re always talking about leaving
Milk carton black and white face
Smile vacant for the picture
Parents waiting in the driveway

Oh my darling Arizona
Why you packing up your suitcase
Hasn’t anybody told ya
Oh

My mouth on fire
Drowning in your

Holy water I could be better
It’s time to move on I won’t be yours forever
Holy water I could be better
It’s time to move on I won’t be yours forever

Now I’m waiting in your basement
Blood stains on your pink dress
Don’t you leave me on the pavement
You look so good in red

Don’t you cry Arizona
I never want to see you that way
I’ll be your milk carton darling
Leave me cut cut up
Cut cut up

Holy water I could be better
It’s time to move on I won’t be yours forever
Holy water I could be better
It’s time to move on I won’t be yours forever
I won’t be yours forever

ANA11111 Drive Home

Wake up, Virginia, is your daddy home?
Is your daddy home? Is your Daddy home?
Did he turn out the lights and the telephone?
And the telephone, and the telephone
Come out Virginia come down the stairs
Hell I know your headed somewhere

Come out, Virginia, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for? What you waiting for?
Got your ball gown on and you locked the door
And you locked the door and you locked the door
Come out, Virginia, can’t be so bad
But who am I to say you’re wrong?

And in the backseat all your clothes
Are resting on the posters that you got
When you turned sixteen

And from the window of the kitchen
Stand your parents and some people you’ve never seen
You’re asking for another one
You’re asking for a way to spend the night
If you’re asking for another one

Come out, Virginia, if it seems so wrong
Seems so wrong and it seems so wrong
And I’m just waiting for the rest to fall
For the rest to fall, for the rest to fall
Well maybe you were the best of me
And maybe I’ll learn, maybe I’ll learn to crawl
Well maybe you were the best of me

If you’re asking for another one
You’re asking for a way to spend the night
If you’re asking for another one
You’re asking for a way to spend the night
If you’re asking for another one
You’re asking for a way to spend the night
If you’re asking for another one

ANA11113 A Fine Way to Close

Don’t talk about me that way I can’t stand it
Dress me up and push me down the aisle
Raise your glass and won’t you stay a while
You can take my eyes if you need to
They’re always looking for you
Another branch, offered for the pyre

Don’t put me in the back seat I’ll stay quiet
Sing to me the FM radio
And smile as you look out the window
Won’t you tell me I look pretty?
Like the first day that you met me
And kiss me one more time before I go

And you tell me that it’s raining
I can’t feel it anymore

Don’t paint the fence, I like the way it’s fading
Covered mirrors, blacked out in the hall
Won’t you leave the windows open for the fall
Would you be there when I come to?
And read the letters for you?
And miss the way you held me in your arms

I’ll be there when you come to
Mmm

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh….
