July the Fifth

my psychic visions have started again
psychotic villains are starting to win
extraterrestrials are starting
to take over the government
we are the cracks at the sidewalk's end
leftover fireworks on july the fifth
won't always do right or be right
but right now we'll do what we can
and if we feel a little out of breath
we'll dream ourselves another death
eyes wide open for whatever happens next...
i know my father would never give his okay
to a song thrown together this way
see we've a family tradition
demanding perfection and grace
so I've been biding too much of my time
so far ahead and still so far behind
standing there in line
just to get on someone else's ride
but no ones cheering anymore
and don't they love to lay the blame at my door
by god if they can do better
what the hell are they waiting for?
the choicest of my words are spent
and i'm not even sure what they meant
but if you play them all backward
you'll find that they sound like shit
my psychic visions are all starting again
psychotic villains are always going to win
extraterrestrials are starting to take over the government !
extraterrestrials
have already
taken over
the government!

i like all your pictures
i know who you are
i'm counting the days till your birthday
i'm courting you discretely
so i'll wait at the park
where you sit at the end of your workday
milady, I will wait patiently
for you to testify, and tell all of the world
what you're doing and thinking
and maybe, you don't even think of me
but all I really want is everything you are
everything you are
i know it's not becoming
or prudent or sane
i just feel this need to be near you
we'll meet accidentally
i won't tell you my name
i'll always adore and revere you
milady, I will wait patiently
for you to testify, and tell all of the world
what you're doing and thinking
and maybe, you don't even think of me
but all I really want is everything you are
everything you are
can't trust providence with this task
so I put myself in your path
and if its not too much to ask
could you follow me back?
it's terribly twisted
it's proper and clean
no reason for undue misgiving
i'll always protect you
but you won't know it's me
because this world can be so unforgiving
milady, I will wait patiently
for you to testify, and tell all of the world
what you're doing and thinking
and maybe, you don't even think of me
but all I really want is everything you are
everything you are

you made me sing a happy song
no one will ever sing along
to let em hear it would be wrong, murray
sometimes a girl gets curious
what she finds might make her furious
my affections are injurious, murray
murray
your motions ceremonious
your essence so harmonious
and here i sit felonious, murray
you always know whats right you see
youre taming serendipity
afraid you're just too good for me,murray
murray
built these castles strong and high
i saw the world and touched the sky
but it never was for me
no it never was for me
if you said it's time to go
to live the good life, well don't you know
i'd fall down at your feet
fall down at your feet
our separation's for the best
you are the east and i am the west
still think you're the loveliest, murray
i swear i'll never make you weep
i'll take you with me to my sleep
this deepest secret i will keep, murray
murray

got a pocket full of shame
leaking
tonight i curse your name
grieving
the pieces of my life
that won't ever be the same
dirty demons in my face
grinning
try to turn the blame
spinning
and no i don't forgive you
no i don't forgive you
try like hell to drown it out
dreaming
i didn't make a sound
scream
as the best in me fell pray
to the worst in you
don't tell me leave it in the past
try me
redemption in my grasp
finally
and no i don't forgive you
no i don't forgive you
some of the blood we share's the same
filthy
i'll tell the world your name
guilty
your legacy is one
of impotence and shame
and no i don't forgive you
no i don't forgive you, no i don't
no i don't forgive you
i forgive me...

a Guerrero

me voy a Guerrero mañana tal vez
me duele el corazón como nunca antes
estoy caminando sin lugar a donde ir
hay palabras tristes para escribir
Mi amante me dejó. ¿O la dejé?
Extraño a mis perros y mi hogar dulce
Lamento mucho mi forma de ser
no se como tratar a una mujer
pero el diablo tiene mi alma
y mi espíritu nunca se calma
me Voy a Guerrero mañana tal vez
me duele el corazón como nunca antes...
***
I'm going to Guererro, tomorrow, maybe
My heart hurts like never before
I'm walking around with nowhere to go
There are sad words to be written
My lover left me...or did i leave her?
I miss my dogs and my sweet home
I'm very sorry for the way I am
I do not know how to treat a woman
But the devil has my soul
And my spirit will not be calmed
So I'm going to Guerrero, tomorrow, maybe
My heart hurts like never before...
