INTRODUCE YOURSELFFrom the day I was born, I took the bull by the horns, and gave youplenty to scorn, well right on! Then you said in a song that life was gettin real tough, but hey I think that you're bluffing, what of it? Introduce yourself (right on!) Now two decades gone by and I know that's a long time, para tiempo means nada nunca. Cause I'm still the same asshole and I still wet my pants every time that I see your face (who are you?) Introduce yourself (right on!) Hey Mr. Biggs, Hey Mr. Bestall, Hey Mr. Warner what's up? Hey Mr. Enigma, Hey Mr. Bigtime, Hey Mr. Epic, What's going on? Introduce yourself (right on!) FROM OUT OF NOWHERETossed into my mind, stirring the calmYou splash me with beauty and pull me down You come from out of nowhere My glance turns to a stare Obsession rules me-I'm yours from the start I know you see me-Our eyes interlock You come from out of nowhere My glance turns to a stare One minute here and one minute there Don't know if I'll laugh or cry One minute here and one minute there And then you wave good-bye... Sifting to the bottom, every day for two All energy funnels, all becomes you You come from out of nowhere My glance turns to a stare One minute here and one minute there Don't know if I'll laugh or cry One minute here and one minute there And it hurts inside One minute here and one minute there And then you wave good-bye... EPICCan you feel it, see it, hear it today?If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright It's so groovy, it's outta sight You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet You want it all but you can't have it It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor So you lay down on it and you do it some more You've got to share it, so you dare it Then you bare it and you tear it You want it all but you can't have it It's in your face but you can't grab it It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin It's magic, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain It's sad it happened and it's a shame You want it all but you can't have it It's in your face but you can't grab it What is it? It's it What is it?... FALLING TO PIECESBack and forth, I sway with the windResolution slips away again Right through my fingers, back into my heart Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark Sometimes I think I'm blind Or I may be just paralyzed Because the plot thickens every day And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away But I know, there's a picture beneath Indecision clouds my vision No one listens... Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Layin' face down on the ground My fingers in my ears to block the sound My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight Droplets of "yes" and "no" In an ocean of "maybe" From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline From the top, another downhill slope of mine But I know, the equilibrium's there Indecision clouds my vision No one listens Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together MIDLIFE CRISISGo on and wring my neckLike when a rag gets wet A little discipline For my pet genius My head is like a lettuce Go on and dig your thumbs in I cannot stop giving I'm thirty-something Sense of security Like pockets jingling Midlife crisis Suck ingenuity Down through the family tree You're perfect, yes, it's true But without me you're only you Your menstruating heart It ain't bleeding enough for two It's a midlife crisis... What an inheritance The salt and the kleenex Morbid self attention Bending my pinky back A little discipline A donor by habit A little discipline Rent an opinion Sense of security Holding blunt instrument I'm a perfectionist And perfect is a skinned knee You're perfect, yes, it's true But without me you're only you Your menstruating heart It ain't bleeding enough for two It's a midlife crisis............... A SMALL VICTORYA hierarchySpread out on the nightstand The spirit of team Salvation is another chance A sore loser Yelling with my mouth shut A cracking portrait The fondling of trophies The null of losing Can you afford that luxury? A sore winner But I'll just keep my mouth shut It shouldn't bother me But it does The small victories The cankers and medallions They keep me thinking That someday I might beat you But I'll just keep my mouth shut The little nothings It shouldn't bother me But it does IF I SPEAK AT ONE CONSTANT VOLUME AT ONE CONSTANT PITCH AT ONE CONSTANT RHYTHM RIGHT INTO YOUR EAR, YOU STILL WONT HEAR You still won't hear You still won't hear You still won't hear You still won't hear You still won't hear You still won't hear EASYKnow it sounds funny but I just can't stand the painGirl I'm leaving you tomorrow Seems to me girl you know I've done all I can You see I begged, stole and I borrowed Yeah That's why I'm easy I'm easy like sunday morning That's why I'm easy I'm easy like sunday morning I wanna be high Soo high I wanna be free to know the things I do are right I wanna be free Just me Oh baby That's why I'm easy I'm easy like sunday morning That's why I'm easy I'm easy like sunday morning DIGGING THE GRAVEIt would be wrong to ask you whyBecause I know what goes inside Is only half of what comes out Isn't that what it's about? To remind us we're alive To remind us we're not blind In that big, black hole Comfortable Digging the grave, I got it made Let something in, or throw something out? You left the door open wide I know you have a reason why That knot is better left untied I just went and undid mine It takes some time And the shadows so big It takes the sun out of the day And the feeling goes away If you close the door Comfortable THE GENTLE ART OF MAKING ENEMIESThe words are so familiar-All the same greats, the same mistakes It doesn't have to be like this.
