if we lost something
take a little back, take a little back
if we want something
we can take it back, we can take it back
tell me all the things that make us younger
show me all the things we didn’t say
tell me was it right when we were younger
show me all the things we did instead
in the right time
we were never right beside it
all the while
tv in the background, tv in the background plays
all the time
take it back if you wanna
abracadabra
look it in the eye
take it back, take a listen
abracadabra
are you anything, goodbye
tell me all the things that make us younger
show me all the things we didn’t say
tell me was it right when we were younger
show me all the things we did instead

Comb Your Hair

saturday like any other day
it was on saturday like any other day
on a saturday you said you’d never change
you said you’d never change
you said you’d never change
outer space it is so far away
you went to outer space you look so far away
you said you’d never change
you said you’d never change
you said you’d never change
did they comb your hair?
try to put you on a leash?
well i don’t care
it was the taming of a beast
you look so far away
you went to outer space it is so far away
you said you’d never change
you said you’d never change
you said you’d never change
you said you’d never change
there are some teeth you save for on a brighter day
there are some songs you keep to dance another way
did they comb your hair?
try to put you on a leash?
well i don’t care
it was the taming of a beast
took me by surprise
and i had to say the least
but you combed your hair
this is the taming of a beast

Dirty Pan

we are hot in the summer
we are cold in the snow
will you begin to wonder where all the people go?
if they’re hungry they will eat
when they’re tired never sleep
and someday you will meet them
when you’re walking in the street
they say it goes on and on
you know, its coming out
of the radio
and if you’ve had enough
its still coming out
of the radio
bittersweet you make the world go round
take a break from all the weight of chances
bittersweet don’t leave me with a frown
show me places where its always laughter
you talk about magazines and
I want to know, do you see them?
ooh but if we
move along, move along
new city
dirty pan, dirty pan
kick em when they’re back,
kick em when they’re up
kick em when they’re right on
dirty pan, dirty pan
bittersweet you make the world go round
take a break from all the weight of chances
bittersweet don’t leave me with a frown
show me places where its always laughter
you talk about magazines and
I want to know, do you see them?
but when will you wonder
where do all the people go?

Riding In Your Mind
02:44

take ‘em, with ya, take ‘em
with your mind
when you try to get away and you’re riding that line
floating on a lake and they coming up right behind you
shutter in your back and
shine your little flashlight
when you’re running in place but you’re walking just fine
when you try to get away and you’re right up on the line
would you find me?
if the sky fell today
it’s fine
when you’re riding in your mind
take ‘em, with ya, take ‘em
i can’t see your face
i can’t see
when you’re riding it away and you’re right up on the line
when you’re riding in place and you’re riding just fine
you were looking for a chase and you got away that time
when you’re riding it away keep looking for a line
but if we go
would you take a look under the car now?
would you take a look under the car now?
i can’t see you in the light
i can’t see you
when you’re running in place but you’re walking just fine
when you try to get away and you’re right up on the line
would you find me?
if the sky fell today
it’s fine
when you’re riding in your mind

often just a dreamer
in an ordinary, ordinary place
tracing dotted lines was such a waste
drinking cherry soda
in the mind you can create a little space
winter, spring and summer
do you get lonely peter?
i sure would hate to be ya
do you get lonely peter?
i sure would hate to be ya
//
come on a walk, we’ve got a lot to see
if you wanna take a walk don’t wait on me
come on a walk, we’ve got a lot to see
if you wanna take a walk don’t be waiting for me
come on a walk with annie and me
we want to run and in the sun to be
we go to play we go to be free
come on a walk with annie and me
come on a walk
do you get lonely peter
come on a walk
do you get lonely peter
do you get lonely peter
i sure would hate to be ya
do you get lonely peter
i sure would hate to be ya
do you get lonely peter
i sure would hate to be ya
do you get lonely peter
i sure would hate to be ya

look down and put your words away
look up see i’m affected by
you
i feel the part that’s soft
i feel the part that’s soft
that’s all you, can give up today
i saw it in a simple way
tracing the outlines of
tracing the outlines of
you, you, you
you
breaking a bit, come, come
breaking a bit, come
a bird can’t chase a cloud away
to say it in a simple way
give me some pieces of
give me some pieces of
you, you, you

look down and put your words away
i see it, in a simple way
tracing the outlines of
tracing the outlines of
you, you, you

Jitter Bugs

they run around sometimes
she plays a little bit, dragging her feet
she rolls her eyes
they like to swing from the rafters
we are the jitterbugs
take a bite of us
‘cause we want inside of you
call us a parasite (2X)
my house, my house
what are they doing?
and all the plates start to rattle
hey intruder, what are you made of?
and then they’re runnin’ all the way, runnin’ all the way down
we are the jitterbugs
take a bite of us
‘cause we want inside of you
call us a parasite (2X)
get out go, away ‘cause
you were never invited anyhow
how are you inside it?
she deliberately locked and tied it
she keeps her bright light on
they roll around on the floor when she sleeps
here’s how we do it
they spin around on the shadows
we are the jitterbugs
take a bite of us
‘cause we want inside of you
call us a parasite (4X)

Wandering

she was waiting for the hand
she would be dealt
irreparable, undeniable
give a penny for the plan
windy waters often meet
windy waters now
whirl around and soften please
’til you form a crown
maybe later, maybe soon
she was, she was
undeniable today
so methodical, yet invisible
undeniable today
stay
