Lights Blinking

You sit and rot
In your sacred spot
Those city nights
Those blinking lights
And the day is long
When your saint is gone
Those city nights
Those blinking lights
Lights blinking
Life linking
Lights blinking
Life linking
Might sink in
Got the whole world in my hands

Shake You
03:56

I work hard to get respect
Don't pay attention to the rest
All that matters is what comes out
It doesn't matter what they shout
What matters is they shout
You look at me, I look upset
Don't pay attention to the rest
All that matters is what's inside
It doesn't matter how much they cried
What matters is they cried
What matters is...
I'm only serious to reach you
I'm only serious to teach you
I'm only serious to wake you
I'm only serious to shake you
I work hard so we connect
Don't pay attention to the rest
It doesn't matter if you stared
It doesn't matter if you're scared
What matters is you cared
What matters is...

Nothing You Say

Nothing you say's gonna save you
Nothing you say's gonna hit the mark
I've seen it start and I've made up my mind
Nothing you say's gonna save you
Nothing you say won't be picked apart
You couldn't sell a dollar for a dime
Once the sequence has begun
With greater frequency it comes
You're turning over every single time
Once the meter starts to run
Its evil work is never done
It's never late, it's never far behind
I'm alive

Life Right Now
03:28

Life right now
Life right now is working hard on some shit
Trying to get something done
Without growing too old in the process
So she still likes touching me or better
Life right now is a series of long commutes
Without very much parking at all
Life right now is me yelling in the general direction of a car
Driven by someone I'd never even think to yell at somewhere like the park
In a world without you
Baby, I might die
In a world without you
I might not die but somebody would
Life right now
Life right now is lots of wasted time
Punctuated by brief concentrated efforts to get it together
Life right now is a constant battle between
Escape and productive engagement with shaving
Life right now is not thinking about his god or her god
Or anyone's god, for that matter
Well, I'm not Jewish but if I was I'd want a Bar Rafaeli
I would happily buy a suit
In a world without you, etc.
Life right now
Life right now is not too bad actually, thanks for asking
But really frustrating, as well
Depending on the time of day
And the day of the week
And the time of the year
And how long I have to walk to get to my car
In a world without you, etc.

It's a Joke

It's a joke, stupid
Guess I can't kid around when you're around
It's a comedy but you're scaring me
Let's hear the sound of one hand clapping
It's a joke, stupid (yeah, I know)
I guess you can't kid around when I'm around
It's a tragedy and it's haunting me
Let's hear the sound of one man laughing
It's a joke, stupid
Guess I can't kid around when you're around
It's a comedy but you're scaring me
Let's hear the sound of one hand clapping
Oh, how I hate to be hateful
Because it always gets in the way
And oh, I hope to be hopeful
Someday, someday

Hands Down

Is that it?
You call that a riff?
Not trying to play
Don't wanna say
Is it hip?
A hit with the kids?
Not trying to blend
Or appease or offend
Sand down the glass
Through the night and breaking fast
And so it came to pass
If I find
Was all a waste of time
It's still a clever trick
With an axe and a pick
You don't like
Anything? That's fine
You keep your prize
And I'll eat my pride
Sand down the glass
Through the night and breaking fast
And so it came to pass
If your conscience hit and you quit then you win
Hands down
Hands down
