Meet the Marathon Cheats

can we talk about the universal truths for a second
the world is round my friend
it's only your perspective that's flat
if we're gonna come out on top this time
we're gonna have to be the mothers
of some brand new invention
we lie because the truth is just too heavy to handle
the good news is we're revolutionary minds
if we're gonna break the cycle tonight
we've gotta make a change
meet the marathon cheats

Bat Controllers

send the signal for the bat controllers
i sleep much better when they are around
take command of the airships
set the compasses west
bless the whole sweet mess
even after all this time
in our pockets of refuge
we remain paying tithes
to the bat controllers
swimming in a soul aquarium
fielding cryptic and anonymous threats
what a difference the sun makes
though the rain has long caused my armor to rust
even after all this time
hiding behind their protection
we remain peasant wives
to the bat controllers

Shades of Green

every day at two fifty-eight
you've got your fork your knife your plate
you cut around the part of me
that used to care about you
i'm either sinking or i'm swimming
with a rope between my teeth to pull your boat ashore
but i'm out of breath and i can't swim no more
so you can play make believe
whenever you want a piece of me
you draw the line
from your house to mine
in shades of green

Love Me Don't

you thought you were the only flame in town
i guess i showed you the lowdown
just another mess i made
just another big mistake
love me don't
i thought i was the only one of a kind
but i was packaged and produced a million at a time
welcome to the wishing well
welcome to the carousel
i guess the world cannot contain your sighs
big surprise

Cinderella School
01:55
|
|||
|
are you going places
are you leaving traces
for the boys
have you any choice
starring in portraits
smothered in corsets
choking on pearls
it's the way of the world
but you can bend the rules
at cinderella school
every little star is not the sun
every song is not a love song

Wall of Obsessions
01:46

i saw you from the balcony
i heard your soliloquy
get thee to a nunnery
i looked all over the city
i don't want this song in my head
i don't want the fixed idea
i just want a piece of ophelia
i don't wanna let it be
she's the real one
she's the real one
i just want a piece of ophelia
i don't want to leave her alone
she's the real one
she's the real one
i just want a piece of ophelia
i don't want to be alone

if past is a prologue
there's not much for me if i stay here
let's face it i'm wasting away here
and the dreams that encircle me
shine through the fog of the days here
if home's crying out for me
carve my name into the ground there
and if you're up with the sun
you can follow me down
where the docks are
(fare thee well)
where the docks are
(fare thee well)
not much to say now
cuz i'm going down
where the docks are
fare thee well
i'm charting an omnidirectional path
scribbling directions and envelope math
laughing and free as i make for the sea
not worrying about how or whether
these streets will remember me
a map full of question marks don't bother me
i'm throwing my arms open wide to uncertainty
longitude latitude follow me down
