Going on a trip let’s say goodbye now
Going on a trip let’s say goodbye now
Going on a trip let’s all get high now
Going on a trip let’s say goodbye now
Better hope the weather stays nice
Better hope the nights let you sleep tight
Better hope the traffic stays all right
Better hope the weather stays nice
Going on a trip let’s say goodbye now
Going on a trip let’s say goodbye now
Going on a trip it’s a secret why now
Going on a trip let’s all get high
Better hope the weather stays nice
Better hope the nights let you sleep tight
Better hope the traffic stays all right
Better hope the weather stays nice

Let Me Be Nice

Let me be nice
Let me be good
I do what I should
I do what I could
It’s something you’ll be waiting in line for
Let me be nice
I want to run want to run it all down
I want to run it all into the ground
I want to save it want to save it for me
I want to save it when I know it’s for free
Let me be nice
I do what I should
It’s something you’ll be waiting in line for
I want to run want to run it all down
I want to run it all into the ground
I want to save it want to save it for me
I want to save it when I know it’s for free
Let me be nice
Let me be good
I do what I should
Something you’ll be waiting in line for
I do what I should
I do what I could
Let me be nice
Da da da da…

Things Are Gonna Change
03:26

Sitting here and crying
on the carpet floor
feeling like things will never be the same
He’s got a brand-new baby
and she’s gonna steal my place
I was his girl
I was world
I was his art
I was his play
Now he’s gone and picked her and
it will never be the same
Thinking too much
always too much
Thing’s gonna change
It’s different now because his baby’s got a different name
Thing’s are gonna change and it’s his baby who’s the one to blame.

Green Cabbage
01:55

I am all out of sorts
He is my solid board
I am plastered to him
He’s my vodka and gin
“I WANT YOU,” I said,
“I WANT YOU!”
“I’LL TAKE TWO,” I said,
“I’LL TAKE TWO!”
He likes cabbage
Why green cabbage?
He is sexy.
S-E-X-Y
He lets me float all away
He lets me in to stay
I fuck it up all the time
I fuck it up and then whine
“I WANT YOU,” I said,
“I WANT YOU!”
“LET’S GO THROUGH,” I said,
“LET’S GO THROUGH!”
He likes cabbage
Why green cabbage?
He is sexy
S-E-X-Y
I like it with my legs up
He likes it all to be tough
I must never begin
That’s just for me and him.

He loves me
Why’s he hurt me?
He loves me
Why’s he hurt me?
Tears fallin’ on my pillow
Tears fallin’ on my pillow
He loves me
Why’s he hurt me?
He loves me
Why’s he lying?
He loves me
Why’s he lying?
Tears fallin’ on my pillow
Why does he have to lie to,
why does he have to lie to me?
Tears fallin’ on my pillow.

Once Before
03:00
|

When I sit and think of you
I stop thinking things through
I try to be real wise
I try not to disguise
anything that I see in your eyes
You
You’re sitting across from me
I don’t know what you see
middle of the night, Route 83
and the diner’s been shut down
just like the rest of town
It’s night
there’s lights, your car, and you and me
Let’s
Let’s talk about our plan
of how you’ll be my man
and I’ll be anything that you can stand
It’s
it’s sad because I know
that you will never show
that you’re afraid to leave
because I’ll go
Stars, they twinkle in the night
Wind blows away our fight
I guess that’s when I knew I saw the light
Shit, I don’t know what to do
I’m falling back with you
Kiss, we kiss and we lay down
Real life is all gone now
It’s you and me
later we’ll discuss how
We, we walk up to my door
we say goodbye once more
I think that I have been here once before
Strange, it’s strange how things will mend
when you choose to play pretend
Right now it seems like this
will never end.

Crying & Cold
04:49
|
|||
|
Why aren’t you next to me
when I wake up lonely?
I thought I took you home last night
but you are something I can’t find
Honey, won’t you tell me?
Honey, won’t you help me?
Honey, won’t you let me know where you go?
‘Cause I’m crying alone.
The spot where you used to sleep
is the last the last thing that I want to see
but it gets so cold there
I wake up alone, crying and cold.
All the shit that you left behind.
You only did it so I couldn’t get you off my mind.
Why won’t you–why won’t you just let me be?
Darling, can’t you see that you’re hurting me?
Watch me die
as I sing while I cry.

Lies, lies lies.
What would you do if I hated you?
What would you do if I never needed you?
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
What would you do if I never went that far?
Lies, lies lies.
What would you do if I loved you?
What would you do if I was obsessed with you?
How would you feel if I played french horn for you?
How would you feel if I ran away from you?
No, no. You don't know where to go, go, go...

Nobody cares about me
Nobody cares about me
but when there’s lovin’ and kissin’
I can’t sleep at night
You say
You say there ain’t no ain’t no other way
but if there ain’t no other way then
why do you keep me awake?
You say
You say that you love me. That you love me
but if you love me then baby,
why do you keep me awake?
Hey babe Hey baby
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
‘Cause if you love me then baby, why’s there so much pain?
‘Cause if you love me then baby, why’s there so much pain?

Moving Song
03:39

The light comes through the window like it’s always done before
But next week I’ll be leaving like I’ve never done before
I’m moving
Pack it up in little boxes ‘til the room looks very strange
I’ve lived here for three years and yet it’s never felt this way
But now we’re moving
Right now we’re moving
The things I’ve plastered on the wall will never be the same
The cracks and all the imperfections will always remain
But I won’t be the one to see them
All the nights that I have spend here are now all gone
And the nights I’ve cried myself to sleep are gone
At least here cause we’ll never be here anymore
We’re leaving
Well my tears and all the years I’ve spent are being left behind
My stuff’s being driven to a new house that we’ve all got in mind
We’re leaving
Right now we’re leaving
In a few more years or maybe less I would not be surprised
If we packed it all up again and left our lives behind
And we were leaving.
Right now we’re leaving
Right now we’re moving

Fuzz
04:28
|

|
All we were doing was laying here
But you make me feel so good
That I wanna bat my eye lashes
Our feet touch
Our cheeks flush
Our hands worry
We’re kind of in a hurry
And I don’t know why but I’m a little nervous here
It could be because there’s a little piece of fuzz
Stuck to your chin and every time you grin
The light goes by and makes it shiny just right
And every time I see the fuzz in front of me
I want to laugh out loud
And make a little sound
And tell you that there’s something on your gorgeous chin
And then maybe we’ll look into each other’s eyes
Our breath will thicken
Heartbeats begin to quicken
Our lips will touch
We’ll kiss with our eyes closed
But then again
I could simply pretend
that the fuzz isn’t there
Just because I don’t dare
To raise my eyes and look into your own
Because all we were doing was laying here
And I don’t want to ruin
The moment that’s so dear
And sometimes I can’t even see the fuzz
But somewhere inside me
I have this desire
To hold your hand, not to worry about my old man
And to float away in a perfect kiss of yours
