Tracks



01. Second Hand Smoke

[instrumental]

02. Johnny Carson Didn't Have To Die

My pride is a razor cutting me from everything that I have ever loved
Let's go
Dead and gone; dreams are decaying right before my eyes
Everything is funny in Three's Law of Comedy
Senses dulled, I wish I was laughing
Break me in two
Break me in two why don't you?
Yeah bring it
This boy needs a hero

03. Looking A Gift Horse In The Mouth

She called me captain
I dragged her into the deepest seas
What am I supposed to do now with these pictures and these memories
Now that I've thrown you away?
This is the last song I wrote for you
Where is my closure?
You can feel me clinging to my sheets
Waiting for this new perspective, that these hands are better off empty
Now that I've thrown you away, I'm still waiting
And we've parted ways; and I hope that you're happy
'Cause you are the memory that just won't seem to fade

04. I Should Have Called Ms. Cleo

Why did September take them away from me?
So hear me now, my silver goddess; for you I am your knight of swords
Such cold hands I must have to make skin feel so far away
So teach me how to say our last goodbyes
Teach me how to die
I bet you'll love me more when I am gone
And there must be another way out
Fear not my brothers, there will be salvation
Won't you go for a ride? Let's drink a Cerveza
Won't you go for a ride? And shed our ways
So hear me now, my silver goddess; I swear one day you'll be at my doorway
Such cold hands I must have to make skin feel so far away
So teach me how to say our last goodbyes
Won't you please...
Won't you teach me how to die?
Won't you love me more when I am gone?
Once we shed our wings, is this what you call love?

05. 22 Exits Away

I remember looking right into the eyes of an angel
The evil in me sleeps from time to time
Wash away these poisons from my mind right on to your skin
All the hearts that you've destroyed; never stepping from your throne
When all the smiles break away
Truths of the past you can't let go
And you are alone today
Tell me do you feel the same?
Yeah do you feel the same now?
And this my friends, is a moment for all of us to remember
How good it felt not to be afraid
What it's like not to be afraid this time
This is for the day you changed my life out in Commack
Open your mouth wider, wider, wider
Who knew the truth could hurt so much?

06. A Fist Fight With Dick Tracy

You know it's hard for me to accept that I will never have you
You own my heart
That you will always have the upper hand
I ain't got much left
So I am forced to find a dream worth fighting for
'Cause I'll fight tooth and nail until I'm dead
And I will fight tooth and nail until I'm dead because I am aware
Got one life to live, why not take a chance?
She danced around the room
I just wanted to choke you blue (I wonder if it makes a difference)
And I know now that we will never speak
They now see the reality
I only got one life to live
I'm tired of waiting on the streets
Time to put my life back in my hands
Go right ahead and marry the henchman
And when I show up at your wedding
I'll bring flowers and a shotgun
