Mulberry Mulberry
I'm as blind as a man could be
Like I didn't notice all the scars on your face
You're looking at me and what I bring
You might question my sanity
And my intentions when unexpected things take place
Not the kind of notions
That foundations were based on
But it might work for you and me
Maybe in the next life
We might make it together
If only for a moment
We could see
Frames roll past of the past
You start making connection between
All the excitement, what it might've meant, and what it could mean
I plead to you with persistence
Still you think I'm playing a game
First you face me, then erase me, oh what can I say
Not the kind of notions
That foundations were based on
But it might work for you and me
Maybe in the next life
We might make it together
If only for a moment
We could see
Oh Mulberry
Mulberry there's a picture
that's hanging in front of me
there's a picture of you in front of me
Don't you take it, don't you take it
don't you take it away from me
Mulberry Mulberry Mulberry
Everything's dependent
On the time and the weather
Or maybe it's the pressure undersea
Maybe in the next life
We might make it together
If only for a moment
We could see
Oh Mulberry

Short Stay
02:33
|
|||
It gets so hectic switching electric
Plugging in after dark
She comes in phases at fifteen paces
She tastes like pineapple bark
And she's got a suite at the Mark
And she's trashing it baby
So many people wait for the sequel
Of movies never been made
So many movies they get the green light
And they get cut by the blade
And the people they wait and they wait
The people they wait and they...
Back to the story so full of glory
It's got an ending like wow
It's got reverses shifts in perception
Don't it feel so here and now?
Don't it feel so here and now?
Don't it feel so...?
You want to reach her think you can teach her
All that she'd never explore
She's down at Marni uptown at Barneys
She don't get past the first floor
I'm in the BX listening to T-Rex
You know that everyone digs
She's in the BK she's at the short stay
She's leaving soon for that rig
She'll be working that offshore rig
You know she got that talk show gig
Strut
She strut
And me I'm checking out

Just Yet
05:01
|
|||
I beat the traffic once again
Kept the search up for my best friend
I tried to skip the stoplights
But every last one's blinking red
I was running and cheating
And hiding out in Memphis til
The clock strikes eleven
By midnight halfway to Brazil
And every day surprises
wondering what page is next
But I'll sit up on this cross
No I don't mind letting you be the boss
Cause I ain't done feeling guilty just yet
Salt dripping out of my face
Gets me every time and place
I never thought that I needed a brace
Until the legs can't be stood on
And all that your foot's on
Turned into a pile to
Be swept up and put upon
All because i can't tell the truth
And September's coming soon
That means another temporary move
So I'll pack up my two bags
I'm sure there's things that I might forget
But I ain't giving up trying just yet
Blizzard rolled in yesterday
A stop-motion anime
Was like dropping a great white shark
on the Great White Way
It was nine inches of silences
Gets so hard to shovel that stuff
A good dose of violences
The kind that puts your guard right back up
When everyday there's trouble
Living a losing bet
But I'll sit out in this cold
If you look close see I'm not alone
Cause I ain't done holding on to you just yet
No I ain't done holding on to you just yet

What I Need
04:44
|
|||
There's what you want
and what I need
and those two things
Ain't gonna ever meet
When you're down in the sand
I'll be up in the stars
You try to take my hand
Best put down your arms
And I can't wait til the next leap year
My sympathies are tied up elsewhere
I don't need a fortune teller to read my future
Cause no one else is gonna touch me
the way that you used to
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
A million voices tell me to disappear
And memories get piled up much too near
So tell me what am I to do
with this tattoo of your name
When everything else is different
But my heart's unchanged
Sha la la
Sha la la
There's what you want
and what I need
those two things
gonna never meet
No, no, no...

Maybe Someday
02:31
|

Maybe someday we'll drink from the same cup again
And stay up all night just like we did way back when
we'll drink from the same cup
saying we never gave up
On each other
And we'll toast the brothers
Maybe someday our hearts are gonna be unstained
Go back to a time when kisses felt untrained
We'll grab our favorite girl
Say there's no one in this world'
But each other
And we'll toast the lovers
If only you missed me
I wouldn't need whiskey
I'd be just as drunk as I need
I wouldn't seek solace
in everything lawless
I'd follow wherever you'd lead
So I beg
and I plead
and I order another
Maybe someday we'll meet the good Lord in the flesh
And He'll give us that old speech about father knows best
But if He fail to mention
You should turn some attention
To another
And we drink to the mothers

Room 1009
04:57
|
|||
Left a message at the front desk I guess it didn't get through
Heard your temperature's falling I'm calling trying to get to you
You spend too much time with the old crowd you know you're just getting used
But just because you got nothing to win don't mean there's not a lot to lose
With your horsefeathers and your shiny chin
Got to get it together, people's patience wearing thin
There's been a lot of complaints about Room 1009
Sister won't you draw back the curtain, open up those blinds
You can't spend the rest of your life behind a Do Not Disturb sign
It's high time you check yourself out of Room 1009
Ten years we chased the depths we took lives and liberties
And we always carried that big set of jailer keys
We climbed the highest mountains to let out a scream
But underneath there was a sad sad song always whistling through the breeze
It's crying now for the tickets, screaming you pull me down
You say you don't shoot horses but where's your mustang now
There's been a lot of complaints about Room 1009
Sister won't you draw back the curtain, open up those blinds
You can't spend the rest of your life behind a Do Not Disturb sign
High time you check yourself out of Room 1009
And I know my words once heard might not hold a lot of sway
And I know the answer ain't coming on some bright sunny day
I know you get down with the weather, sitting stuck in LA
But there's a choir singing for you and they're not gonna go away
They're singing
About New York City up on concrete heels
You think you lost it forever I think I how you feel
There's been a lot of complaints about Room 1009
Sister won't you draw back the curtain, open up those blinds
You can't spend the rest of your life behind a Do Not Disturb sign
It's high time you check yourself out of Room 1009

You Better Leave Room
03:03
|
|||
I knew I'd see you out randomly walking
Just didn't think it'd be quite so soon
But you never know just what the day brings
So you better leave room
I always longed for a life in the gutter
Took a few trips to the moon
I filled villas up with compost and clutter
Until I ran out of rooms
You know it all felt nice living this life
where the clock don't move with the light
But you're no facing what's in your basement
Space is gonna get so tight
And mistakes that you made
Keep you tossing and turning all night
A couple of days but it feels like it's ages
You get lonely rages each afternoon
Dust building up in obvious places
Can't even look at a broom
So fill your insides up with the darkness
You'll learn to live with the gloom
But love's gonna come into your heart again
So you better leave room
Yeah love's gonna come into your heart again
So you better leave room
Love's gonna come into your heart again
So you better leave room

Better Than Good
04:09
|
|||
In the spring when flower's blooming
I clean my room and meet you out
Bought you some chocolate
Because I know you wanted
Something sweet, something now
And it'll be good so good so better than good
And in the summer when it's sticky
that yellow sun beats up above
And the roof is overheating
With the sound of our love
And it'll be good so good so better than good
So tell me baby what went wrong
Why's it been so long
I thought I played your favorite songs
And it was so good
So when the weather calls for sweaters
I'll give you that coat to keep you warm
And if the city gets too sketchy
We'll go rock out on the farm
And it'll be good so good so better than good
And it'll be good so good so better than good
In the rain, the sleet and snow
When it's hot and sweaty
Babe I want you to know:
I'm a man for all seasons
From below and up above
You want love, I got a million reasons
Why I fit you like a glove
100 degrees...that don't phase me
That humidity shakes right off of me
Take it one time
No go ahead, take it two times

Turn Yourself Over
04:25
|
|||
It wasn't the fate you were asking for now
But it came to you like 1-2-3
I've no idea what we're wearing these masks for
Now we know the definition of maturity
Turn yourself over to midnight
I know a place that we could be
There ain't no mistakes
Ain't no bright lights
Turn yourself over to me
Are you overstuffed or just over extended?
Maybe you're looking to find a little twist of lime
I'd pay you some mind if I could only pay attention
But we all gotta get loose sometimes
Bankers bellying up to the bar
They think they'll part the sea with their credit card
But I know a place where the disco ball is glowing
And all the glasses are overflowing
Turn yourself over to midnight
I know a place that we could be
There ain't no mistakes
Ain't no bright lights
Turn yourself over to me
Turn yourself over to midnight
There is a place that we could be
There ain't no mistakes
Ain't no bright lights
Turn yourself over to me
Turn yourself over
Pretty soon it's all gonna be over

Triple Letter
03:17
|
|||
You think that I'm a qat
girl I think that you're a real big qi
You play that triple letter
You better have the zee zee zee
You kick me off the bus
Put an x through my xu and xi
I hope you save a letter for me
Maybe hook me something special
Better than the V
Cuz I've been working all night
I've been working all night
All those words must've
helped you on the SAT
You can play what you want
You know I got the ING
You're such a Jersey girl
but you know what you mean to me
I hope you save a letter for me
Maybe hook me up something
Better than the V
Cuz I've been working all night
I've been working all night
You say it's just a game
But you're quick to claim victory
You're calling my name
When you put out an APB
You're such a Jersey girl
But you could make it up in NYC
Baby please save a letter for me
Hook me up with something special
Better than the V
Cuz I been working all night
And I will work all morning

You Do It Again
05:00
|
|||
You fell just like a dancer at the end of the night
i gave you so much cancer you couldn't help but die
And you do it you do it you do it again
You do it you do it you do it again
You do it you do it you do it again
To my heart
Gonna make it start
So many answers lie with the wind
You find yourself stuck inside the house again
And you do it you do it you do it again
You do it you do it you do it again
You do it you do it you do it again
To my heart
Gonna make it start
Then you push me away
Out in the dark
There ain't way no way
That I could not fall apart
So go on abandon my last name
Throw out the painting, send me a bill for the frame
And you do it you do it you do it again
You do it you do it you do it again
You do it you do it you do it again
To my heart
Gonna make it start
Then you push me away
Out in the dark
There ain't way no way
That I could not fall apart
There ain't way no way
That I could not fall apart
