Woke up last night with my legs on fire and my head was turning red I used to drown it down before I'd retire Put out the fire before I go to bed Woke up this morning and I'm afraid of my own skin Just waiting for it to peel Lord I tried but I can't begin To tell you how it feels Spent the day sweat it out so slow From every pore to the bone In the highest places with my head so low Makes me wish I was back home I wish I was back home Went to bed with a fist full of help Lord I can finally rest Though my body sleep is my brain still well Cause Lord I tried my best Woke up last night with my legs on fire And my head was turning red I used to drown it down before I'd retire Put out the fire before I go to bed Put out the fire before bed Put out the fire before I go to bed Put out the fire before I go to bed

Would you crawl around inside this song I would let you put your hard hat on cause my words might fall on your head these walls might just cave right in I just want to know when is it that you feel most alone I've been sleeping behind the flower pot Waiting for my skin to peel right off but I don't want to waste my time Excavating the things that I won't find I just want to know When is it that you feel most alone And I wish I was back home But where is home Home Home Home Home I just want to know That this is when I feel the most alone

Can we go to a garden with the tallest trees you've ever seen We could live inside a garden Where the biggest flowers house the bees And no one would see us and no one would know what your fingertips look like when they light up the branches above us like lanterns I'll wear yellow leaves in my hair If you'll just stay with me there In the garden Can we go to a garden where the walls are taller even than the sky We could climb up oh forver Way up into the tangled vines And no one could see us And no one would know what your green eyes would look like When ten thousand flocks of birds are flying all around inside our minds I'll wear yellow leaves in my hair If you'll just stay with me there In the garden Susannah, what tree was it oh Beatrice which flowers are poison And cupid keep a lock on it, oh Mary how does your garden grow? I'll wear yellow leaves in my hair If you'll just stay with me there In the garden In the garden In the garden

Untitled 04:21
something to calm me down is all I need all the time I dont know if it was your fault or mine if I can go to sleep and still wake up its ok but I still tend to wonder what happened to me that day I still don't know what I'm supposed to do when you start fucking me up like you do Don't forget the sign on the wall says quite plain the mess in your head and an umbrella for the rain here's to hopin i'm not cut down in my prime cause life's real funny and mrs. death laughs all the time I look in the mirror hoping for some change is it me or is my brain making shapes have these pills changed who I am or is the reading right on the scale where I stand How do I smile and take it you asked me when I feel alone I only get hopped up when it's time to go Ive been sleeping behind the flower pot and sneezing Listening to you reach out for reason water is the key to happiness thats true my body's a motor engine, water cooled it'll put out the fire if you can get it down I drank too much and a little bit of me drowned

I'm sorry if she fucks you up Well what can I do and Look you forgot your umbrella again It's been raining for days And the sign on the wall Still hasn't changed I like you better when you're drunk You liked me better when I didn't really talk that much I need a friend for when it rains So that I can take my socks off And hang them up to dry on your staircase Oh you know I'd do the same for you You know I'd do the same for you But the sign on the wall is still the same And I want you to know That I broke the flowerpot Just like I broke this fever That's been festering for days And I put out the fire Cause it got too hot for me to take And the sign says don't forget Oh the sign says don't forget Your umbrella Cause it's gonna rain Yeah its still raining here take my umbrealla cause I don't even want it and I'd rather get wet I like you better when you're drunk You liked me better when I didn't really talk that much I need a friend for when it rains So that I an take my socks off And hang them up to dry on your staircase Oh you know I'd do the same for you You know I'd do the same for you And I'm sorry that she fucks you up Well what can I do? Look here just take my umbrella Cause you're making it rain.

In The Ridge 02:36
Woke up this morning Sky was falling Walls were cracking Tumbling down Was startled by the sound Crack in the window Hit my pillow While red rain was Pourin down My brain spilled on the ground I heard a moon man Brushing his hand On the glass and Plaster cracked Was flat on my back Now I'm a pigeon And I'm living In the ridge Between the walls Hoping the plaster falls.

God bless the beautiful girls Who spread confusion God damn the way You look at me on the subway While I'm trying too hard To overcome an indian summer Because it's too late to take this on And the birds sing their songs Through the cracks in our walls The pigeons sing songs Through the cracks in our walls The pigeons they coo Through the plaster and the drywall While they're waiting for the winter I'm scared of car accidents And getting older I'm scared of the winter too I'm scared of the cracks in the sidewalk And I'm scared of standing next to you Because it's too late to take this on And the birds sing their songs Through the cracks in our walls The pigeons sing songs Through the cracks in our walls The pigeons they coo Through the cracks in our walls The pigeons they coo Through the plaster and the dry wall While they're waiting for the winter I've got this jar full of orange lady bugs And I'll set them free on your half birthday I'll send you a dove When the rains come Just to let you know that I am safe And I'll send you a pigeon When my basement floods Just to let you know That I have gone away Because it's too late To say you like the shape m mouth takes And it's too late for us to fall in love And the pigeons sing songs Through the cracks in our walls The pigeons they coo Through the cracks in our walls The pigeons they coo Through the plaster and the dry wall While they're waiting for the winter And I'm waiting for the winter And the pigeons they coo While we're waiting for the winter In an indian summer

Someday we'll live in a hollow tree And grow our fur and our feathers Someday you'll fall in love with me And I'll start feeling better When will we become Hank and Pigeon? When will we become Hank and Pigeon Our hair will turn white in spite of us While we grow younger and younger Ideas will blossom inside of us And we'll lose track of eachother When will we become Hank and Pigeon? When will we become Hank and Pigeon For now I'll live in the wall and sing And you can sleep forever Who knows what this winter will bring Maybe we'll freeze together When will we become Hank and Pigeon? When will we become Hank and Pigeon When will we become..
