oh, i never feel like i'm supposed to are you sure that you do? are you sure that you do? today i'm an enormous ridiculous beautiful thing i'll terrorize the countryside, every step makes a mile 'cause i'm the main event, i'm the de facto prom king like any good menace should be engines rev with a twitch of my smile just what you came here to see a big dumb grin for my cheeks, not a thought in my head i'm a construct, a horrible machine believe me and the worst part isn't even knowing that you're losing it yeah, the worst part is that you're slowly getting used to it you hide away today i'm floating sideways through a perfect curving line tomorrow i'll get shot back down through a creeping mess of sound no matter how high we climb we're all stuck in the stomach of the sky but, hey, you're welcome to try and paint your name all over the ground but then, ha! your work is never done you stay up twenty-four hours every night for the tower of heaven that you see behind the sun it's how you run it's how you run and the worst part it ain't even knowing that you're losing it yeah, the worst part is that you're slowly getting used to it you hide away

Buddy 06:11
hey, buddy, tell me what pisses you off tell me you're angry and that you can't stop give me the bile you're trying to keep down all adolescent and hissy and proud hey, buddy, show me the shit that you're in all of the stuff you can't stand to forgive then tell me everything's gonna work out say we're not too sick to stand and shout and so i don't know what you're worried about i don't know what you're worried about oh, i wake up at three A.M. with a crack in my neck and a half-moon split in my forehead oh, la lai lai my breath is steady; i'm alive, i guess but a runaway train by definition never gets to rest oh, la lai lai wake up, and i stink of bad coffee and sweat and then we just freshen and try to forget oh, la lai lai hey, buddy, tell me that we're up in the clouds and we're not coming down, and, oh, whatever am i worried about? oh, whatever am i worried about? hey, buddy! when you look around, do you see people we ain't meant to be and what does that make you believe? i don't know what you're worried about hey, buddy, break me down, tell me i'm wrong tell me i've stewed in myself for too long i can't decide what'd be worse to believe we're both just as bad or you're better than me hey, buddy, i think i'm sick of your grin all of your highs wear my patience too thin can't get ahead, but then, who's keeping score? hey, buddy, i don't like you any more no words, no doubt and i don't know what you're worried about

Red Greens 05:00
and the day before i left placed my head on your neck said "before i turn twenty-one i'm probably gonna start goin' gray" well i'm there and then some won't admit to no one but there's a part of me that's eager and complicit in decay painted world, i'm leaving i'll erase our demons i see every shade the same, i cross the city with my sight sketch me into the scene with your reds and your greens i can't see a thing, i'm out here looking for my blue-eyed sky and with no insistence at any given instant you could fling your cigarette butt in the gas tank of my car and this sideways line of thought somehow improves the luck we've got of ever getting where we're going: aiming pretty far and when the lousy weather washed out our mascara realized we could snap each other's necks in half a moment and be gone and when i'm down on my luck the concept gets me back up and i love that; and i always will, and even if it's wrong i'll take a place just off the road it's halfway there, i'll call it home wash off my grin like a ballpoint tattoo who cares about colors? they don't tell the truth i am new, i am new, i am new, i am new
7.
oh and stop by the side of the road every night wonder how far can you get? without looking behind with that spin in your head, how far, yeah, this time? i'm thinking what is there, really, in a face or a name what does it take to ever give it away and how do you know when you're finally gone when you've rid yourself of everything but what you want what is it about this that makes it okay? why is it so damn hard to just believe what you say? because you can't be sure, no matter how sure you are and you'll understand as soon as you run comfortably far that in a cruel twist of fate, all you got is your head and if you take a step back, think about what you said you'll just be bitter and heaving, yeah, you'll only obsess and keep it deep in your lungs and keep it high in your chest everyone else is just fine without you tonight and you've already gone, you've severed your ties what is there, really, in a name and a face? not as much as i need, but more than i can take oh, and wake in a sweat from a daydream, i guess no matter how many times i recur and retry i can't come up with a script where it all turns out fine i'm thinking how do you know how to stop when you fuck up? how did you learn how to stop when you fuck up? how do you know how to stop when you fuck up? how did you learn how to stop when you fuck up? how do you know how to stop when you fuck up? how did you learn how to stop when you fuck up? how do you know how to stop when you fuck up? how did you learn how to stop when you fuck up? tell the stars you think you understand now tell the ocean you've learned what to do tell the earth you know just where you're going watch the sky and pray you'll get there soon
8.
well i can't blame you for getting that tired and slipping away in the end yeah, by now we are such wonderful liars we've successfully stopped making sense somewhere out in the crowd, we're sinking into the sun out here we are a product and a sum of everyone is something gonna change your mind can we get off of the highway and run drag me away to your big wide blue i know that you're almost always here when i need you at least i can hear you i can hear you i can hear you i can hear you you're worried that i'm up in the clouds and you're wondering what the action is worth i'm sorry, but i've never liked to speak very loud i can't state it any other terms i don't think there's anybody under my skin i'm an empty head, a disembodied grin oh, something's gotta change my mind, something's gotta let me begin drag you away to our fever dream you know that i'm always almost here when you need me if you need me but can you see me? can you see me? can you see me? can you see me? so you're blind but i'm invisible and i'm deaf but you can't speak and somehow that works out and it's almost always enough yeah it's almost always enough almost always enough is "almost always" enough? almost always, yeah it's almost always enough always enough is "almost always" enough?
9.
like a chant at an altar, neverending prayer on the twos and fours i've heard enough, i'm hearing it everywhere get me my coat, please, show me the door oh, you're a riot we love having you around oh, you're a good kid you'll figure something out oh, without a doubt i remember last summer, we were deep in a tunnel; i slept in my clothes i swear i feel the earth caving under us but up here, ha, well... no one wants to know because, oh, you're a riot we love having you around oh, you're a good kid you'll figure something out i don't know what you're worried about guess it's likely i'm selfish, just don't know what i've got or else my hearing's gone 'cause i can't tell the blastbeats from the ballads just the same old chorus to every song after all, i'm a riot we love having me around oh, i'm a good kid i'll figure something out hey, buddy! yeah, oh, does it take your care it takes my takes my care it takes me takes my care it takes your care, it takes it takes it takes our care, yeah oh does it take your care there ain't anyone there? oh if it takes your care and are you laughing yet, all for the best and are you laughing yet hey, buddy, look over, is there anybody left? and are you laughing yet and are you laughing yet and are you laughing, yeah ( ...figure something out ) you know, i've never really let myself get angry i've never felt particularly weak and i've never worried 'bout the future, no i'm only terrified of me
