Don't Panic

Bones sinking like stones
All that we've fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for
We live in a beautiful world
Yeah we do
Yeah we do
We live in a beautiful world

Where Are You Now?

It came to the end
it seemed that you had heard.
as we walked the city streets,
You never said a word.
When we finally sat down
Your eyes were full of spite.
I was desperate, I was weak
I could not put up a fight.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
You were strangely less than pain
Than you were cold.
Triumphant in your mind
Of the logic that you hold.
You said no one would ever know
The love that we had shared.
As I took my leave to go
It was clear that you didn't care.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?
And I hear of your coming
and your going in the town.
I hear stories of your smile,
I hear stories of your frown.
And the darkness can descend,
We can relish all the pain.
But I know that's what you love,
Cause you know I love the same.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?

Black Gives Way to Blue
03:10
|

|
I don't wanna feel no more
It's easier to keep falling
Imitations are pale
Emptiness all tomorrows
Haunted by your ghost
Lay down, black gives way to blue
Lay down, I'll remember you
Fading out by design
Consciously avoiding changes
Curtains drawn, now it's done
Silencing all tomorrows
Forcing a goodbye
Lay down, black gives way to blue
Lay down, I'll remember you

Trailer Trash
03:53
|
|||
|
Eating snow flakes with plastic forks
And a paper plate of course
You think of everything
Short love with a long divorce
And a couple of kids of course
They don't mean anything
We live in trailers with no class
Goddamn I hope I can pass
High school means nothing
Taking heartache with hard work
Goddamn I am such a jerk
I can't do anything
And I shout that you're all fakes
And you should have seen the look on your face
And I guess that's what it takes
When comparing your bellyaches
And it's been a long time
Which agrees with this watch of mine
And I guess that I miss you,
and I'm sorry if I dissed you

Videotape

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
When Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
And I have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green
You are my center
When I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
cause I can't do it face to face so
I'm talking to you from...
No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
the most perfect day I've ever seen
