B-Side 03:21
down on the b-side with our jackets torn and our face it's worn we got lies to make us feel good we got sass to make us rock well rock n' roll we got that phonographic sound no contracts, jewels, or crowns no airwaves to be found cause we're down on the b-side we got styles to push us farther we got paints passed from our mothers we got noise to make us larger large

sailed around the world a trip inside my head the storms they will never clear as i'm chasing after the wind nothing left to say nowhere left to go now searched in god and man found everlasting pain nothing new nothing gained the same the same the sun beating down the son descended down creator savior how you failed molded and made im just like you nothing more toiled the day away as i labor in vain finding love and happiness through the meaningless games i play all that is will be all thats done was done before me the wise man like the fool lies rotting underground he found nothing new nothing gained the same the same

Reunion 04:21
got a letter an invitation the day is here its been 10 years now time for our reunion why would i spend more time with people that i hate couldnt wait to leave behind would we dance? make a toast? as you boast about the things that you havent done oh joy, what thrills, the fun fun down the hallway i still remember the things you said and i hang my head low and i try not to feel beautiful you were, popular so cool so cool, so cool so cruel
4.
Upside Down 03:10
you ever stop to think about where you are now? you tripped and you slipped on the things you thought you needed. you died on your throne and now you're left unseated. every point is the place to stop your palms from bleeding. every tick of the tock is the time to start conceiving. and you go undergrowth. i know i'm lame i know you're sane; i hope you're defeated. keep no angels (devils).

Peon 02:24
smoothing out the creases picture perfect straight all in order now the chair the lamp and. . . glass castle and her favorite book the silver ring she wears are the gifts she gives i'm sorry didn't want to hurt you but i couldn't be the child you thought you raised she lights her letters and journals on fire, takes a step outside walks along the edge of her mind can't go back this time
6.
Pariah 01:20
i heard a singer say that 'god blessed her with a lovely voice'; if that's the case, he cursed me with a brain. i don't want to be. i never could be no mariah: inside this golden cage. i don't want to be, i always will be your pariah.

Li'l Bunch 03:33
who died and made you god who took your throne from the summer sky? you're my little silly putty on my comic books i'll make it right i'll make it true ill make it something new.
8.
Serpentine 04:09
serpentine serpentine, dressed in white, paints her face, wraps herself in neon signs. you know she hates this. carpenter in a dress, needs no love cause she's something- ultra blessed. she needs the test. you know she needs it. overseas, under skies she sees no hope, so now sometimes she wonders why i never try you know i hate this. 'giddy-up. you need a ride? you look just fine.' leavenworth, 6pm. wait for me cause you never know when i'll need a friend. i need a friend. you know i need this. semper fi's never true when boys they come. they want to come all over you they come for you you know they need this you know i hate this

here we start. how's the weather outside? well it's cold and gray, same as yesterday colors turn and fade and i keep fading in and out ive been starting conversations only to lose momentum empty words echo through the shell of someone long forgotten they can't reach me as i crawl back even further inside the deepest corners of my mind to find sanctuary and we say words are spoken and exchanged i feel fine okay then as my mind strays ask you the same thoughts keep wandering away i've been thinking about Manfred by Byron he was equally disdainful of life as of death the superfriends' hour wonder twins power activate and space the final frontier as you keep standing here tell me why do occupy my mind? i seem to lower my i.q. the longer i keep talking to you as we talk talk about the little things that add up to nothing well it's the same conversation just another face and time i keep dropping these hints to you but never seem to get through have got to find the right words to say to make you go away well it's been swell and i can tell it's gonna be a great day

Atomic Skies 04:33
1957 was the year when sputnik flied this was the era when young presidents died the time when musicians thought they could change the world under atomic skies: could i be content with the things i lack? could be content with the things i have? i'm such a malcontent i'll never be con- tent. this was the century when young boys died like lemmings. this was the time when science reigned supreme and gods prayed. this was the time when everything was possible but left undone.
11.
Wile E 03:07
i feel so wile e. coyote with an empty hole right through me and you, this cannonball you pull this gust right through me i'm tired of desert scenes the same old schemes the cactus repeats mo(u)rnings are when donuts are made and that's when i've lost my weight my head hangs heavy from the sky; has gravity multiplied? 1000 schemes to bring you near always turn and run in fear. won't ever say 'i missed you today.' i'll never say-i don't want to hear- that you feel good, ok? i won't ever 'i say 'i feel so empty today.' i don't want to hear that you feel good, ok? the cactus repeats
12.
Prozac 02:27
outside my window children laughing playing in the park sound echoes on and on ocean so blue reflecting the sky birds fly its expanse and i wonder why i am funny how i feel so blue pop a pill be well get a job and a family find a hobby or two something to keep your mind occupied change the color of your tune
13.
you got found with sand on your breath. laced with dust, shake your shawl, wash your hands. you could use a drink. we got drawn by the spires up high. crushed by nothing that was never found. you could use a king. right? you got tired of the democracies and votes and treaties. you got tested by the overchoice of a million thoughts. you could use a king.

Launched 02:39
morning dear the ship is here and we've loaded your cargo in the ? hold your head upright tell them that you're bright and maybe i'll retrieve a word you say and im launched i lost my appetite no one believes a word you say because it's so cool not to care guess that makes me uncool shut me down shut me up tell me that im wrong tell me that im wrong scope the deck lights are bleeding red and im drowned in white noise
