Because Because Because

Gone blubbery
suddenly uncertain of who you are to be
You had to look behind the curtain
because because because
It turns out the hero in your story
is a villain to me
And there’s nothing behind the curtain
because because because
There’s no truth to memory but it has a lovely sound
Just don’t forget what you believe,
don’t let your eyes drop to the ground
Nothing is below you but a lovely sound
Just don’t forget what you believe,
that home’s a place to be
Every little failure has its own allure
But you’re never really certain
what’s the sickness and what’s the cure
Maybe you need a little courage,
maybe you’re just looking for a friend
Maybe you wish you were made of something else
Maybe you’re just looking for an end
For a way out of all of this pretend
You can’t help but take a peek
at what’s behind the curtain
It’s just me fooling nobody but me
Gone blubbery
suddenly uncertain of who you are to me
I had to look behind the curtain
because because because

Quit counting all you lost or you’ll lose it
Just pretend you never needed it anyway
And soon enough you’ll believe
Besides,
there are so many brand new things to think about
There is still enough to choose
There is so much more to lose
There is so much more to lose
There’s so much more left to be used

Don't Get Out Of The Car

Don’t get out of the car.
Don’t look behind you.
It will make you see stars.
It will have you wanting to.

Another Man Done Gone
04:35
|
|||
We did our vanishing act one last time
It was the only way I had of keeping you off my mind
But to do it right someone’s gotta disappear
There was no one in the audience I had to volunteer
Now you say how cliché of me,
maybe I just wanted to be
another man done gone
But maybe I just wanted to be
another man done gone
you say how cliché of me,
maybe I just wanted to be
another man done gone
But man I never wanted to be
another man done gone

They were shaking it like it was broken
So many people made it feel like an oven
Watching all the kids dancing in the kitchen
You were just thinking, doing nothing
flowered on the wall outside of the moment
taking notes but trying not to show it
standing sour, sad as a lemon
You’d had enough, you were ready to go but
you were waiting for something to happen
You were alone but you were all together

The Unexamined Life
05:26
|
|||
Ignorance is bliss, but you can never know it.
The unexamined life is….oh, what’s the word?
To get a grip is like baiting the tail of a fish.
The unexamined life does not exist.

The Names Of Things
01:53
|
|||
You were in my dream last night
We were walking with a group of people around a city
You were asking me the names of things
And I got so angry all I could think to say was
I don’t remember, I don’t remember
I wanted to tell you everything about me
But I have forgotten it already
And I can’t tell if you are even listening

The Line Was Too Long
03:22
|
|||
You tell me I’m sweet til it stings like a curbing
So what am I to be another book for your learning
Another flavorful cuisine just waiting for the serving
There are too many honest things that I should’ve never said
Because the crowd was too big and you were never listening anyway
Girl I could’ve loved you but the line was too long
You gotta get there early if you want to belong
I don’t want to be another one of your self destructions
No I don’t want to be another one of your little self destructions
And I don’t want to dejavu with you anymore
No I don’t want to dejavu with you anymore

Lost And Found
03:38
|
|||
That time all it took was a sound
And you knew you blew it
Everything into the ground
You always knew it
But it was all it was all it was all that you had
You gave it all it all it all that you have
You were living in the lost and found your way through it
I called your name trying to help you down
But you outgrew it
You got through it

An Attack!
04:49
|
|||
Part of me’s gone somewhere and it’s never coming back
In all the days I am alive I’m always gonna lack
But I’m done with all the worry I’ve had years to think like that
Today’s no day for waiting it’s time for an attack
Part of me’s gone somewhere and it’s never coming back
I didn’t know this was a hanging would you cut me some slack?
But I’m done with all the worry I’ve had years to think like that
If you’re not with me you can go to hell it’s time for an attack

As far as the rest of life is concerned, what people call 'experience' – who has enough time? And which of us is serious enough for that? In these matters, I fear, we've been 'missing the point.' Our hearts have not even been engaged – nor, for that matter, have our ears! We've been much more like someone divinely distracted and self-absorbed into whose ear the clock has just pealed the twelve strokes of noon with all its force and who all at once wakes up and asks himself 'What exactly did that clock strike?' – so we rub ourselves behind the ears afterwards and ask, totally surprised and embarrassed, 'What have we really just experienced?' And more: 'Who are we really?' Then, as I've mentioned, we count – after the fact – all the twelve trembling strokes of the clock. Strangers to ourselves, we do not understand ourselves, we have to keep ourselves confused.

Arctic Cod
03:21
|

And what are we to do tonight
With all the arctic cod and strawberry pie?
We both ate before we came
We take little bites to be polite
and watch the time go idling by,
wondering how much constitutes a try.
Life’s a lot of rude arrangements
and crude engagements
but I haven’t thought much about it without you.
So who would you rather be with tonight
sharing all this arctic cod and strawberry pie?
How long has it been since you came?
Little bites to be polite,
never hungry, time just idling by
If nothing else well at least we gave it a try
Life’s a lot of rude arrangements
and crude engagements
and I’m sad to say I’m happy without you

Every day I wake up
Ever since the breakup
I feel like the lightest shade of blue
I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know why I do
Everyday I wake up
I give the sheets a shake up
Maybe I’m just looking for a clue
I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know what I’ll do
Maybe I don’t want to wake up
To all the endless time that takes up
And so many so many so many things to do
It’s no wonder I wasn’t thinking about you
But I’m learning now to face up
To all the time it takes up
All of the all of the reasons why I do
And it all falls together right on cue
And I know someday I’ll wake up
Think of all the time to take up
And I’ll know and I’ll know and I’ll know
just what to do
And I’ll be myself , even without you

I wrote a song, it was kind of about you
It turned out so good we both wished that it was true
And sometimes that was enough
Sometimes all you need is a bluff
But you could have been anyone
And this would have been fun
I wasn’t thinking of tomorrow
When I grabbed your hand and told you to run
But it’s good to know how things are
And you showed me how things are
I was in a pickle and you were the jar
Now I know who you are

Ocean Pacific
04:10
|

You’re looking like a mule that’s quit
Chewed through the bit,
Dazing n all your shit
sentimentally grinding to a halt
you learned why there’s two of everything
the day you pulled the string
boxed up your things and stepped out of the ring
and somewhere in an old bag in the attic you found it
you found your old orange shirt that says Ocean Pacific
or something like that
that might not have been it exactly
but it’s good to be specific
you found your old orange shirt that says Ocean Pacific
and it all came back
like a wave that's crashing
man, doesn't it feel terrific
that was so long ago,
and now you spend all your time
writing guides to places no one goes
