Lyrics of 'Buffalo Tom' Album

Sunflower Suit

How can I follow suit

When nothing seems to matter anyway

Living too close to nothing new

It takes a lot to get used to today

But I follow suit

And I follow suit anyway

But I follow suit

And I follow suit everyday

And I'm in love with a sunflower suit

I'm in love with a sunflower suit

It's a fashion meant for me today

I'm in love in with a sunflower suit

Nothing else matters anyway

I'm in love with a sunflower suit

That is how I get the birds to stay

I'm in love with a sunflower suit

It's no wonder if I can last

Broken fingers, broken glass

No straps and no safety net

I'll make an impression they can't forget

But I follow suit

And I follow suit anyway

But I follow suit

And I follow suit everyday

And I'm in love with a sunflower suit

I'm in love with a sunflower suit

It's a fashion meant for me today

I'm in love in with a sunflower suit

Nothing else matters anyway

I'm in love with a sunflower suit

That is how I get the birds to stay

I'm in love with a sunflower suit

The Plank

I would walk the plank

I would die with my boots on

Like all good cowboys do

And you could find the treasure on your shore

Star spangled winter night

Drags me up and out of bed

I'm all riled up

And I dream dream, dream, dream, dream

Guys in ties and manly thighs

Aren't supposed to hide their eyes

Unless they have no alibis

And then they must die in disguise

Impossible

One things for sure

It's not the same anymore

Close the door

There's a wind coming in

And if it's true

I will believe in you, in you, in you

And if it's true

I will believe you, believe you

That's what I will do

And if your sure

Say no more

It's impossible

In and out

I'm runnin out of time

Friends of mine

I feel like I'm getting old

And If it's true

There are some things that I must do

Me and you

And if it's true

I will believe you, believe you

That's what I will do

And if you're sure

Say no more

It's impossible

500,000 Warnings

Five hundred thousand warnings I'll smash you

Six hundred thousand million times that we've been through

Inside an old farm house that I've never been to

I'll find a thousand reasons, It's you I'll do it to

Ladies of the evening, suit men of the day

Blue light sparkle gets me every time

They drag me, drag me, drag me, trying to make me

Living inside the right time

It's you I'll do it to

Create myself a nightmare

Refuse to see it through

This is the story of my life

They drag me, drag me, drag me, trying to correct me

They know I'll never get it right

It's you I'll do it to

The Bus

Walked home in the rain today

Took the subway train today

Went to my room, listened to Billie Holiday

Stared down to broadway

Took the bus home today

Had a staring contest with a guy I did not know today

Outstared everyone on the bus today

Took it home to Broadway

I don't care if you don't understand

I will be there anyway

Just found out what to be today

See it through

I don't care if you don't understand

I will be there anyway

Just found out what to be today

See it through

Racine

Racine took a trip to Long Island

She got so tired of Times Square

Sometimes she'd look at herself in the mirror

Sometimes she wouldn't even dare

Racine always dreamed of Long Island

Things always seemed so clean there

She took a train out of Penn Station

Blonde wig covered her day hair

But as she saw her reflection in the black windowed train

Sweat poured out and washed her makeup off like wet paint in the rain

Racine Racine Racine Racine

Racine sat in a bar on Long Island

Not knowing anybody there

Some boys like to have a good time

Beat her in a parking lot and left her there

But as Racine stood up in front of the great wall

The K-Mart lights bled like her heart abandoned as that mall

Racine Racine Racine Racine

In The Attic

There is a pause in my life

That started when I was in the attic

Just a few moments now

Before the whole thing collapses

See the cracks in the windows

They've been there for so long

And the beams falling

As I run down the stair

I can't wait to fall down

In my deep earth shelter

At the basement of the earth

At the bottom of the freezing sea

Now I can't wait

No, I can't wait

I walk through the kick down graveyard

Just thinking about myself

And I cut my finger

Walking through the rusty junkyard

And I get a splinter

Walking through the lumberyard

Trying to find a beam

To rebuild my life

I can't wait to fall down

In my deep earth shelter

At the basement of the earth

At the bottom of the creaking sea

Now I can't wait

No, I can't wait

I can't wait to fall down

In my deep earth shelter

At the basement of the earth

At the bottom of the creaking sea

I can't wait

No, I can't wait

Flushing stars

When she combs her hair she flushes stars down her back

Tiny avalanches crumbling, gliding, falling down

And she's calling us, calling our cause

They're all waiting for her to come down from her stars

When her problems come they come and go like winter time

And I'm pacing with her fitting in just like a rhyme

And she's calling us, calling our cause

They're all waiting for her to come down from her star

But I can't wait forever, I've no time

When the sidewalk opens it lets you into better things

She learned that long ago opponents lash with wicked things

And she's calling us, calling all cars

They're all waiting for her to come down from her stars

But I can't wait forever, I've no time

No!

Walk Away

Geez, would you just walk away

If you heard me say, say so

It's just a rainy day

Raining outside again

Now when it rains it pours

Outside open doors again

Geez, would you just walk away

If you heard me say, say so

Now when it rains it pours

Outside the old man snores

Raining outside

Geez, would you just walk away

If you heard me say, say so

It is just a rainy day

Rainin' outside again

Now when it rains it pours

Outside open doors outdoors

Geez, would you just walk away

If you heard me say, say so

Now when it rains it pours

Outside open doors

Rainin' once more

Geez, would you just walk away

It's just a rainy day

Reason Why

I feel so cool, I feel lucky inside

I feel like my worst enemies died

The poison of the streets has crept inside my lungs

And the blood is throbbing inside my tongue
