THIS YEAR
BLACK TAR
FULL ON INDIA INK
DRESSED UP LIKE A CRASH
BUT DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING
TONIGHT I’M SO ALONE
I’M GONNA STAY AT HOME
I AIN’T GOING OUT AT ALL
UNTIL EVERYTHING
IS ALRIGHT
ALRIGHT
ALRIGHT
IF I HAD A BOAT
I’D DRIFT TO MEXICO
WELL THERE’S A PLACE I COULD GO
I’D GET SWEPT AWAY
END UP IN SOME OTHER PLACE
WHEN THE CURRENT’D CHANGE
I’D JUST GET SWEPT AWAY
ON THE BACK OF YOUR WAVE
SMASHING ALL TO PIECES
WHEN IT BREAKS
ON ANOTHER DAY
ON ANOTHER DAY
THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR
IT’S GOING OT BE REALLY SOMETHING
I’VE GOT ALL MY FRIENDS
IN CASE IT COMES TO NOTHING
YOU CAN ALWAYS WALK AWAY
IF YOU SEE ME COMING
I DON’T THINK ABOUT YOU
I DON’T THINK ABOUT YOU
IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG YEAR
AND IT’S HARD TO REMEMBER
IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG YEAR
BUT IT’S GETTING BETTER
ALL THE TIME
IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG YEAR
AND IT’S HARD TO REMEMBER
IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG YEAR
BUT IT’S GETTING BETTER

THIS IS A TEST
LISTEN TO THE WORDS
ON ALL THE CHANNELS BUZZING IN YOUR HEAD
INVISIBLE BRIGADES
COULD MAKE YOU CRUMBLE UNDERNEATH THEIR HANDS
BUT IF YOU WANNA GO SOMEWHERE
AND IF YOU WANNA REST YOUR HEAD
IF YOU WANNA GO SOMEWHERE
YOU MUST LEAVE ALONE
TAKE NOTHING BUT WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN
THE PROWLERS AT YOUR DOOR
HAVE ALL COME BACK TO TAKE YOU AWAY ONCE MORE
BUT IF YOU WANNA GO SOMEWHERE
AND IF YOU WANNA REST YOUR HEAD
IF YOU WANNA GO SOMEWHERE
IN A WORLD OUT OF CONTROL
IN A WORLD OUT OF CONTROL
LISTEN TO THE WORDS
ON ALL THE CHANNELS BUZZING IN YOUR HEAD
INVISIBLE BRIGADES
COULD MAKE YOU CRUMBLE UNDERNEATH THEIR HANDS
INA WORLD OUT OF CONTROL
WORLD OUT OF CONTROL
WORLD OUT OF CONTROL

I Can't Remember

I CAN’T REMEMBER
I CAN’T REMEMBER HOW THE DAYS WERE BEFORE
I WISH THAT I COULD JUST RETURN TO BE SURE
I WAS SO ANGRY AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT FOR
IN SO MANY WAYS I JUST DON’T CARE ANYMORE
THERE’S ALWAYS A WAY
THERE’S ALWAYS
A NEW WAY TO LEARN
AND OLD WAYS THEY RETURN
A NEW WAY TO LEARN
AND OLD WAYS THEY RETURN
HOW CAN I BEGIN WHEN I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START?
HOW CAN I BE SURE WHEN I DON’T KNOW WHICH PART?
I WAS SO ANGRY AND I TOOK IT SO HARD
I WAS THE ONE TO ALWAYS PUSH THINGS SO FAR
THERE’S ALWAYS A WAY
THERE’S ALWAYS
A NEW WAY TO LEARN
AND OLD WAYS THEY RETURN
A NEW WAY TO LEARN
AND OLD WAYS THEY RETURN

TONIGHT I’M GOING TO BE LIKE A SHOOTING STAR
I REMEMBER THE TIME SO WELL
LOOKING BACK YOU COULD NEVER TELL
WHAT YOU MEANT WHEN YOU SAID TO ME
THIS IS HOW IT WAS GOING TO BE
IN YOUR APARTMENT UP IN THE BACK
I WAS PEEKING THROUGH A WINDOW CRACK
LOOKING OUT AT THE STREET FROM A BED
YOU LOOKED OVER AT ME AND SAID,
“TONIGHT I’M GOING TO BE LIKE A SHOOTING STAR
AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE I WOULD GO THIS FAR”
BUT I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
OUT OF ANGER OR OUT OF SPITE
CLINGING ONTO ME EVERY NIGHT
WITH YOUR FACE IN YOUR HANDS YOU WERE
LIKE A FLAME WITH NOTHING TO BURN
EVERY TIME I WOULD TURN AWAY
EVERY TIME I WOULD GO ASTRAY
EVERY TIME TRYING TO GET OFF THE HOOK,
YOU WOULD GIVE ME THE SAME OLD LOOK
“TONIGHT I’M GOING TO BE LIKE A SHOOTING STAR
AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE I WOULD GO THIS FAR”
BUT I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
THERE ARE THINGS NOW THAT I HAVE LOST
I HAVE PAID UP FOR EVERY COST
I’LL ADMIT THAT I HAD TO GO
AND NOW IT’S OVER IT SEEMS, AND SO
TONIGHT I’M GOING TO BE LIKE A SHOOTING STAR
AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE I COULD GO THIS FAR
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

DARKNESS IS SO DEEP
I’VE BEEN CONJURING THE PAST
BUT THE MEANING THERE IS HARD TO SEE
I’VE BEEN LOOKING HIGH AND LOW
SEARCHING HARD FOR WHAT MIGHT BE
BUT THE DARKNESS IS SO DEEP
YOU GOTTA FIND YOUR OWN WAY OUT
THERE’S NO ONE HERE BUT ME
THERE’S NO ONE THERE BUT YOU
THE DARKNESS IS SO DEEP
YOU GOTTA FIND YOUR OWN WAY OUT
I’VE BEEN WALKING IN MY TRACKS
TRACING BACK THE MOVES I’VE MADE
I’VE BEEN LISTENING TO FRIENDS
WHO TELL ME WHAT I WAS LIKE THOSE DAYS
BUT THE DARKNESS IS SO DEEP
YOU GOTTA FIND YOUR OWN WAY OUT
THERE’S NO ONE HERE BUT ME
THERE’S NO ONE THERE BUT YOU
THE DARKNESS IS SO DEEP
YOU GOTTA FIND YOUR OWN WAY OUT
AND THE HOUR IS SO LATE
YOU GOTTA RISE AND FACE THE DAWN
THERE’S NO ONE THERE BUT YOU
THERE’S NO ONE TO PULL YOU THROUGH
THE HOUR IS SO LATE
YOU GOTTA RISE AND FACE THE DAWN

FREEZING RAIN IN NEW YORK CITY
TAKE ME SOMEWHERE
I WON’T ASK
I DON’T CARE WHERE WE GO
I JUST DON’T WANT TO COME BACK
TURN THE KEY
AND LOCK THE DOOR
I DON’T WANT TO SEE THE OLD APARTMENT
ANYMORE
LOVER WHO IS GONE
ALWAYS ASKED FOR TOO MUCH
LOVER WHO YOU WANT
NOW YOU’RE TOO AFRIAD TO TOUCH
BUT THE FREEZING RAIN
CRASHES DOWN
BLOWING LIKE A HURRICANE
AND SMASHING THROUGH THIS TOWN
I HOPE THE STORM
LEAVES NO TRACE
I DON’T WAT TO SEE ANYTHING
REMAINING OF THIS PLACE
LOVER WHO IS GONE
NOW YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD
LOVER WHO YOU WANT
NOW YOU DON’T KNOW IF IT’S GOOD
ENOUGH
LOVER WHO IS GONE
NOW YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD
LOVER WHO YOU WANT
NOW YOU DON’T KNOW IF IT’S GOOD
ENOUGH

THE WINTERS IN NEW YORK
HOW CAN I BEGIN TO SAY
THE THOUGHTS THAT ARE IN MY HEAD?
WHEN OTHER SHIT GETS IN THE WAY
AND THE WORDS ARE NEVER CLEAR
HOW CAN I WHEN I AM JUST TRYING
TO UNDERSTAND MYSELF?
AND EVERY SONG JUST LEAVES YOU MORE ALONE
AND WHEN YOU’RE DONE WILL THOSE SONGS LEAD YOU HOME?
THE WINTERS IN NEW YORK ARE HELL
WITH BITTERNESS AND COLD
THE WEST WOULD REALLY SUIT ME WELL
AT LEAST AS I RECALL
I REMEMBER ALL THE TIMES
WHEN CALIFORMNIA SHINES
AND EVERY SONG JUST LEAVES YOU MORE ALONE
AND WHEN YOU’RE DONE WILL THOSE SONGS LEAD YOU HOME?
RIGHT ON HOME

THE COLD HAS KILLED US
THE COLD HAS KILLED US
AND TONIGHT NOW YOU KNOW
YOU CAN HIDE BUT IT SHOWS
YOU ARE JUST
ALL BUT OUT OF MY HANDS
LONG DEAD CHILDREN
WHO ARE FLOATING ABOVE
HANGING LOST AND IN LOVE
THEY CAN
NOT MAKE THIS EASY TO UNDERSTAND
YOU’RE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN
YOU’RE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN
THE COLD HAS KILLED US
AND TONIGHT IS THE GHOST
AND IT’S CLEAR THAT WE BOTH MUST ADJUST
THIS COLD WIND
IS TAKING US NOWHERE
LONG LEARNED POSTURES
THEY ARE CAREFULLY POSED
BUT WHEN YOU’RE COMPOSED, BE SURE
THERE’S NO WAY
YOU CAN PREPARE
FOR AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN
AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN
OH YOU DIDN’T MEAN IT TO HAPPEN

MONSTERS
SITUATIONS ARE CRITICAL
YOU GOTTA LOOK FIRST BEFORE YOU GO
IF YOU WASN’T TOO SURE THEN NOW YOU KNOW
SITUATIONS ARE CRITICAL
WAIT, OK
YOU GOTTA LOOK BEFORE YOU GO
WAIT, OK
YOU GOTTA LOOK BEFORE YOU GO
DEEP INTO THE DARKNESS WHERE I HIDE
THE MONSTERS ARE BURIED DOWN DEEP INSIDE
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY’RE SATISFIED
BURIED DOWN DEEP WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE
THE MONSTERS ARE BURIED DOWN DEEP INSIDE
BUT WAIT, OK
YOU GOTTA LOOK BEFORE YOU GO
YOU’RE WASTING AWAY, OK
YOU GOTTA LOOK BEFORE YOU GO
DEEP INTO THE DARKNESS WHERE I HIDE
DEEP INTO THE DARKNESS WHERE I HIDE
WAIT, OK
YOU GOTTA LOOK BEFORE YOU GO
WAIT, OK
YOU GOTTA LOOK BEFORE YOU GO
YOU’RE WASTING AWAY, OK
YOU GOTTA LOOK BEFORE YOU GO
DEEP INTO THE DARKNESS WHERE I HIDE

UNTIL THE MORNING
THIS TALK IS SUCH A BORE
I HAVEN’T THE STRENGTH FOR MORE
SO WHEN YOU GO DON’T LET THE DOOR
HIT YOU IN THE ASS
THERE’S FIRE IN YOUR EYES
THERE’S MURDER IN YOUR SIGHS
SO IT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE
IT’S ALRIGHT
CAN WE JUST WAIT TILL THE MORNING?
IT’S ALRIGHT
THERE’S NO USE IN PERFORMING
IT’S ALRIGHT
THERE DIDN’T USE TO BE THIS DISTANCE
IT’S ALRIGHT
WELL I DON’T CARE, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
IT’S UGLY, YES IT’S TRUE
WHAT I’VE MADE OF YOU
SO IF YOU WANT, I’LL SIGN AN I.O.U.
BUT IT’S PLAIN ENOUGH TO SEE
WHAT YOU’VE MADE OF ME
SO LET’S AGREE TO DISAGREE
IT’S ALRIGHT
CAN WE JUST WAIT TILL THE MORNING?
IT’S ALRIGHT
THERE’S NO USE IN PERFORMING
IT’S ALRIGHT
THERE DIDN’T USE TO BE THIS DISTANCE
IT’S ALRIGHT
WELL I DON’T CARE, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
IT’S ALRIGHT
CAN WE JUST WAIT TILL THE MORNING?
IT’S ALRIGHT
THERE’S NO USE IN PERFORMING
IT’S ALRIGHT
THERE DIDN’T USE TO BE THIS DISTANCE
IT’S ALRIGHT
WELL I DON’T CARE, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
