Merry Christmas from the dog
Merry Christmas from the dog
It's on the way
Have you missed me
Just a card I found the other day
To remind you that I'm still, I'm still around
Merry Christmas from the dog
Merry Christmas from the dog
Yes, I've got nothing
Can you help me
Don't think that I'll make it this year, we'll see
Unless you pay my plane, my plane fare
Without hope I'm empty
Out in the cold, don't forget me
Tell me why I'm stuck here, it's hard to be
The one who senses fear not love
Merry Christmas from the dog
Merry Christmas from the dog

Party Boy
04:09

It was the third of March
When I moved into my new place
Some tiny apartment on Everett Street
You were back in town
So I called you up and said, Let's meet
I guess in those days I was pretty innocent
Trying so hard to finish all my beer
Maybe I should have known
You'd just come back from hell
It's clear to me now
Watching movies till the early hours
Behind your glasses was a party boy
Who longed to leave my room
But had to stay
With so much fear
In place of secrets you had to keep
It's a miracle that our paths crossed
In another couple years
I finally realized what you lost was time
What you lost
What you lost was time
You're out there now
What you lost was time
You're out there now
What you lost was time
My party boy

Similar Pain
04:22
|
|||
Life is not always
What it appears to be
There are so many words
That could have been said
Time has swallowed them
And left them for dead
Love is not really
What you expect of me
I know there is a better way
To express what's been laid down
And can't be changed
With the choices I've made
Accuse me of living
How I wish to live
Touch me, touch me
How I want to be touched
Feel me, feel me
Like I've never been felt before
Who could ever foretell
Our similar pain
In your own words
My friends have moved away
But loneliness has stayed on my side
Our similar pain
In your own words
My friends, where are they
Our similar pain
In your own words
My friends, where are they now
Who could ever foretell
That life would move on
I want to say my love for you
Will never fade
It's not likely to stray
With the choices I've made
Accuse me of living
How I wish to live
Touch me, touch me
How I want to be touched
Love me, love me
Like I've never been loved before

I am prepared
I need you intensely
I'm falling, losing your altitude
I'm crying, insane and raving madly
But I live on in gratitude
How could I ever learn from these acts
How might I perceive a new ghost
My heart, wary of passion
Still avoids the facts
My mind needs those eyes
To look sighing into mine
Mysteries, black and gold
In the middle, reflecting my desire
And saying to me
I want your rope and line
To pull you out a little
To pull you out a little
To pull you, just a little

Spanish Fancy

En las cenizas
La pesadilla en las cenizas
Me reduce a los jirones de la razon
En las pintadas
La nueva vida en las pintadas
Me salva de los discusiones de miedo
La vista de tu vestido
Hermoso vestido
La causa de mi vahido
Vahido desesperado
Hermoso vestido
La causa de mi vahido
Soy presa de su encanto

Rejection
03:41
|
|||
I think of what drove us apart
It doesn't add up in my heart
I hope that one day
You'll see past my mistakes
But fate's intervened and sent us flailing
Love me, here I am
I'm thinking of you again
When I'm alone, when I'm alone
Alone
Rejection
So we went underground and all
We found were clowns who took the call
They've been laughing at us
In each mirror we look
And then before turning away
Anxiety takes hold, here I am
I'm conjuring you again
When I'm alone, when I'm alone
Alone
Rejection

A Mermaid on My Wall
04:26
|

Am I too late
You never came anyway
What's it like for you
It's the same, you tend to say
I notice your autograph
Something reckless in your style
Once I swam with you, reached for a dream
A dream inside your smile
Everywhere
You pull me in
You do it everywhere
You pull me in
Mentioned a mermaid on my wall
That fateful night
I kissed your face then forgot myself
Forgot about what's right
Everywhere
You pull me in
You do it everywhere
You pull me in
Now only in my darkest hour
We'll stir the flame that burns in us
That sends us to the sea
I'm drowning in an empty world
Of wide awake where I know
The only breath I'll take is mine
Everywhere
You pull me in
You do it everywhere
You pull me in

Independent Seeker

Independent seeker
When life's complications
Carry truth to none but you
A literary voice
And a taste for the obscure
Crying to your beloved
When my time comes, will I return
And I remember you
You made me go on
You know I didn't want to
But you made me go on
Living on a cliff
Yeah the knack of being human's easy
To everyone but you
Commentaries lost
Well, I'll write my own
No advice, no advice needed
And I remember you
You made me go on
You know I didn't want to
But you made me go on
You were in a strange dream of mine
A vision at 1:15 a.m.
There's trouble here
There's always trouble here
Too much to bear, too much to bear
But I'll remember, I'll remember you
I'll remember, I'll remember
I'll remember

Get It Over With
03:27
|

Blood is your game
It's remained the same for days
One special mark is all
You leave on the corpse: I WAS HERE
I checked the times of departure
Bought my way in and pondered
Life is passing so quickly
And we're nowhere to be found
I am your prey
And I'm not crying
I want to stay, always
Murder is your sign
But I know that you'll get better
With a little help from me
I left for Old Town station
No sleep, train relations
But when I arrived after so long
You had already gone
Already gone
This time you've gone too far
A boy says, Get it over with
You've gone too far
A boy cannot understand
Understand

Ran Out of Time
04:15

Ran out of time
It's a curse
A cherished friend I long to see
Ran out of time
The days can't be worse
And now all I've got is a bitter melody
We could have made a fresh start
We could have stayed in touch
And tried to make amends
But now you're gone
And deep inside my heart
There's a pain that scares me
Because it never ends
I remember when we climbed
That building off the bridge
And took in the town
Together took in the town
Yeah we took in the town
