Dumptruck 02:31
There's a little black lump of coal where her heart should be and a plan to hang a man by his toes from the family tree if I say jump, better jump, better get your ass in line ain't no one's feelings that matter 'round here but mine then a little dark thought appears and it starts to grow ( don't believe it ) and you can't seem to get it out, get, get it out, get, get it out and you're throwing it all away just to get her back ( she's a Dumptruck ) and the victims are the ones that love you if you're gonna launch another self-sneak-attack well maybe you're just misunderstood like so many Dumptrucks in this world

Albuterol II 02:00
Albuterol and grain alcohol it's flu season again gonna try to stay only half-awake until this feeling turns into something else the bad boy that you loved, he's only thinking 'bout himself and while it lasts, isn't everything such a gas? in the bright morning, you're gonna have to wake up and face your stupid past wishing it weren't true Guilt's the bitch, let's share it 'cause it wasn't only you hearts and loves stick in your throat trapped inside a dreaming ghost wish that I could hear you, friend talking on the other end

You can hear it said in Amsterdam Brooklyn, Prague, or Vietnam the pocket pussy that you squeeze won't bring back the honey bees but you've got more important things on your mind you can hose 'em down with pesticide until they start to glow inside the bright light of eternity that turns us into dust and weeds but you've got more important things on your mind than the fact that you can't relax until they're on their backs there's a delegation waiting for to send the soldiers to the shore and grow their wisdom teeth with their muscles gleaming in the sun a superpower is super fun if you just believe that fratricide and sistercide will fill their bursting hearts with pride and they'll see god is on your side and that you're really such great guys you just got more important things on your mind But the devil is you can't recall of thinking anything at all of what the consequences were for feeling so damn self-assured that you've got more important things on your mind than the fact that you can't relax until they're on their backs oh you can't relax until they're on their backs.

This perfect moment that we captured won't be around for long and there's a reason for your hesitation... it seems a little wrong ...but so right, in other ways I can't forget this day for days and days So just relax ( so just relax ) , the moment's passed and now we know ( we know ) Some Curiosity ( some curious ) should remain a mystery ( a mystery ) So just relax ( so just relax), the moment's passed and now we know ( we know) Some Curiosity ( some curious, a mystery ) should remain a mystery Some Curiosity ( goddamn this curiosity ) should remain a mystery

Someway 03:43
All quiet now, there's not a sound it's like someone turned everything off except your last last words I can almost see them floating like smoke rings I am wishing for a wish wanting you to come on home I'll make you more than just a dream Someway...Someway... Someway...Someway... Slower than sea tide moving out intention and memory are lost a broken arm and an open dream it's a long way until I am there I am wishing for a wish wanting you to come on home I'll make you more than just a dream Someway...Someway... Someway...Someway Someway...Someway... Someway...Someway..

I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up Whether you're slender or slightly rotund nipping and tucking can be lots of fun It's worth the sacrifice to look so nice But maybe they slipped there with a knife while sucking out fat they sucked a life right out with all the other garbage you'll be a real Sleeping Beauty won't someone kiss me? I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up Wanna wake up Come on, Sleeping Beauty Wake up Come on, Sleeping Beauty Wake up Come on, Sleeping Beauty wake up wake up wake up I'm so glad we're sharing our apple a day keeping those quacks and butchers away we will grow old and ugly anyway

Albuterol IV 01:35
Albuterol, how I depend on you.........
13.
You were waiting for someone to sit down and talk with when out your bright front door, who should appear but a wearied old countenace such as myself well I'm here now, and even if it's all wrong I'm so far from home. I don't even know where I fit in to this picture of people with goals, and families with aspirations or their expectations, I don't give a damn what happens right now, I'm only delighted to see you...excited to be here with you So you left all your friends that were sucking you into their troubles and dramas and fights in the yard I remember the night you said "Follow your instincts no matter how disgusting they might seem" we were so far from home, we didn't even know where we'd fit into this picture of people with goals and families with aspirations or their expectations we didn't give a damn what happens right now but I cant stay, I'm leaving, I guess but I'll write you. P.S. I'm Back in Time with you Come Back in Time with me I'm Back in Time with you Come Back in Time with me

Are you serious when you say we were meant to be together and I should stay with that stupid face and those bad mistakes that are ruining my life? You left me no alternative I tried to be your friend but now, I woke up from that stupid dream it pleases me to say this is the end are you listening? or are you deaf? can you really believe you've got any chances left? take that stupid face and those bad mistakes and stop ruining my life oh, stop ruining my life
