Night Driving
03:41

I'm driving in my car, is it raining where you are?
I don't even wonder why everything we ever try always seems to go our way
I'm talking to you, you're talking to me
I'm talking to you, you're talking to me
This is the only thing we do, this is the only thing we do
Don't call me on the phone, don't leave me all alone
Cuz there is something out tonight--in the streets and out of sight--something that is just not right
I'm talking to you, you're talking to me
I'm talking to you, you're talking to me
This is the only thing we do, this is the only thing we do
I kiss you in my car, it's raining where we are
And I don't even wonder why everything we ever try always seems to go our way
I'm talking to you, you're talking to me
I'm talking to you, you're talking to me
This is the only thing we do, this is the only thing we do

Cigarettes and Chocolate
02:42
|

It comes at this time every year. It's not good, I would, it's never good.
It used to be all the time. Gone down downtown, round and round.
Eat chocolate with your cigarette. Rain rain the same, again and again.
This car will never take us far. Be bolder, shoulder, don't hold her.
Too dark to see the city now. Bright white contrite, tonight's not my night.
Eat chocolate with your cigarette. Laugh track to stack, lack tact, gone black.
I run away, I run away, I run away, I run away, but I came back.

I Will Wait
02:58
|
|||
|
There's one hour left until the end of the night, all the clocks ahead fifteen minutes fast.
There's a look in the eyes of the dead--they don't listen to the call of the end.
I will wait until my vision is my own. There's a blur in my eyes.
I will wait until I've done what I must do. I will wait for you.
I saw you in the street, you smelled like cheap perfume. The rain can't wash away the rotten stench of booze.
There's a guy who will not leave you alone, it might be time to see you home.
I will wait until my vision isn't red. There's a look in your eye.
I will wait until you've done what you must do. I will wait for you.
I will wait until my vision isn't red. There's a bruise on my head.
I will wait until I have nothing to do. I will wait for you.

Dirty Road

I was in a place I couldn't leave
She tied my hands behind my lowered head
I can feel her breathing on my neck
She can feel my breathing in her hands
On this dirty road, on this Sunday night
Sometime after midnight, I am free
The desert is a cold and lonely place
I am looking all around the sky
She has left me looking at the night
On this dirty road, on this Monday morn'.
On this whiskey high, on this dirty road
I was in a place I couldn't leave

Summer Fun (#31)
03:41
|
|||
|
The summer has begun at last--the days are so much longer than before
With you I can't go wrong, even if we aren't worth shit
I told you that this was the last time, the last time #31
You looked so good in the sun. You make me look better, too.
You make this night my favorite thing
Mosquitoes on your chest, isn't summer fun?
Oh yeah, it's fucking fun
The summer makes me feel so great, it gives me lots to do
I think I will do you, #31
You told me not to stop before you're through, but that's what happens when I'm loving you
Why did you put your clothes back on? I guess I fucked the summer up again
You make this night my favorite thing
Mosquitoes on your chest, isn't summer fun?
Oh yeah, it's fucking fun

Night or Day
02:39
|
|||
|
Some kind of ending, or just the start?
This message sending to my poor heart
When this is all gone, I'll write it down
I've waited too long, can't live without night or day
Night or day
Take me to the ocean, take me from here
I've got no emotions to interfere with night or day
Night or day

Please Don't Go
04:47
|
|||
|
Please take a minute to grieve these moments that we won't receive
When will you leave me again? Sweet dreams and letters you should send
You knew before you ever left, you knew before that was the end
Please don't go
We don't know
Please don't go
Tell me the feelings you lack, filled with the guilt of looking back
Nothing could ever be real, long nights of living the surreal
Back yard at night, no broken doors, drugs kicking in, walk to the store
Please don't go
We don't know
Please don't go
Something has broken, it seems. Long nights with nothing but bad dreams
Things came unraveled too soon, so unexpected losing you
You knew before you ever left, I see it now, this was the end
Please don't go
We both know
Please don't go

Fuck It All Away
03:21
|

You know I'm not a model citizen
I don't do what they want
I don't go to the places that they want me to, and I don't make the same mistake twice
Nothing sticks around for good, even when it really should
Things are ending every day, I say fuck it all away
You're not getting your dream job
You're never gonna fall in love
Your credit rating marks you as an unfit person who'll never make a wise investment
Nothing sticks around for good, even when it really should
Things are ending every day, I say fuck it all away
We can try all our lives to beat them at a game that we're not supposed to win
But I say fuck it all away until it's better, or I get too tired to give a fuck
Nothing sticks around for good, even when it really should
Things are ending every day, something good please come this way
I know what we need to do--never fucking be like you
Past is prologue anyway, I say fuck it all away
