Fast Times 01:08
Mean street is hard to beat Wipe the dirt on your feet I never said this would be easy Grow up to be like me Grow up to plant a seed Wake up to kill a dream San Fransisco, San Fransisco baby Why don't your marry me? Why don't you wait and see what kind of man I be? San Fransisco, San Fransisco baby San Fransisco, San Fransisco baby Mean Street, hard to breathe Walk by the rotten trees I never said this would be easy Whoever said this would be easy?

Not Yours 01:56
You've been gone for so long Let your problems dissolve into one blurry night You'll like forget, forget Comes with regret, regret, regret, regret I'm not your lover I'm not your anybody I'm not your not yours 99 heat of July The first time that I felt alive Yeah I made my little nest and I sleep in it Will you make your little nest 'til there's nothing nothing left? I'm not your lover I'm not your anybody I'm not your not yours 'Cause I got no lover I got no anybody I got no got no
3.
Distractions 02:12
I'm waiting for a time that I get it right Is there something wrong? Tell me a little bit about your life A little secret, I won't keep it Distractions everywhere The webs they spin look so damn frightening Something's in the air If I just tried a little bit harder I wouldn't be sitting in this fucking room with no AC It's so humid Distractions everywhere The webs they spin look so damn frightening Something's in the air They tell me it's ok It's all up in my brain What went wrong again today?

They say you're all right when you're not, not so certain at all Sleeping in 'til nine, not getting up 'til half past time Just keep watching Just keep watching all your TV shows Your highs and lows never felt so... Silently lying alone Who's that stranger in your bed? Getting up at half past three You must be going somewhere, yeah Just keep watching Just keep watching all your TV shows Your highs and lows Complication, you're an apparition And no symbiote, or friendly host Will help you see this

Jenny slept in a different bed Ran out the door in last night's dress Yeah her boss noticed He says don't you get, don't you care? Why you always late? Work hard, go home, get yourself straight Don't you get, don't you care? Why you always late? Work hard, go home, get yourself Something's wrong my world stopped turning Everyday's a brand new burden What the hell are we doing here? Todd takes his daily dose of pills Checked out the first chance he got First chance he got They say don't you get, don't you care? Why you always late? Work hard, go home get yourself straight Don't you get, don't you care? Why you always late? Work hard, go home get yourself Something's wrong my world stopped turning Everyday's a brand new burden What the hell are we doing here?
6.
I called to ask how you are today No one was on the line Too late to rewind the tape I'm too dumb to remember my place here I wonder how you see me? Through peripheral eyes Keep telling myself these lies That I'm the very first person who comes to mind Corinna, Corinna Far away from here Everything seems backwards I stand on my knees Tell me what makes you tick, yeah What makes you feel at ease? Corinna, Corinna Far away from here With all you are With all you want You'll disappear Now that you're gone I've last my thoughts I called to ask how you are today Someone was on the line Too late to remember your name I'm too lame to play your fucking games Corinna, Corinna Far away from here With all you are With all you want You'll disappear

Idiot 02:34
There's a knife wedged between my eyes Or that's just last night's whiskey rye Here comes a call, a reminder why Just lay in bed curl up and die Don't get up One more drink never hurt no one That's what I say and I never learn There's that nagging feeling, creeping What'd I do and what's the consequence Always taken out of context Let's calm down and forget What little we recollect Everything that I've come to know I threw it up next to that skylit window All those cars that drive right by I wonder why, I wonder why? Always taken out of context Let's calm down and forget What little we recollect Because we really need this Some kind of sense of purpose Not sure that we deserve it
8.
Find A Way 02:52
Concentrated on the waning possibility that you're still here High on thinking I'm resilient Get me the hell out of here If I could find, I could find, I could find a way For you to stay I'd be all right, I'd count my sheep No more drunken, fleeting sleep You're the constant I rely on You're the only one I can't get An outreached hand hangs in the air Oh wait that's right, there's no one there If I could find, I could find, I could find a way For you to stay I'd be all right, I'd count my sheep No more drunken, fleeting sleep Believe in me Embrace your demons There's no reaon To be confused To be recluse If I could find, I could find, I could find a way For you to stay I'd be all right, I'd count my sheep No more drunken, fleeting sleep Believe in me
9.
Up All Night 02:25
Give me all the time in the world I'll still fuck it up with you My timings never right I think that I missed my que All those pretty lights, they look so bright I'ma lay in bed, stay up all night Staring at my wall just seems so nice I want to feel all right on my own I want to hear your voice on my way home All those pretty lights, they look so bright I'ma lay in bed, stay up all night Staring at my wall just seems so nice
10.
Languages 02:45
You'll be all right, say hi to a stranger You better sever and dissipate all your ties With everyone you've held so high, alright Turn left on that try so hard boulevard Oh your now in your neighbors lawn The ambulance is on its way Your devil's luck fades away Find my mind honey It needs a quarantine quarantine I lost my ride somewhere on the 35, 405 No it's fine, I'll survive Look at you, so amused I can count to friend in so many languages I see the end in all my relations Find belief, till a dying seed Are you here with me? Find my mind honey It needs a quarantine quarantine I lost my ride somewhere on the 35, 405 No it's fine I'll survive
