Words for 11 taken from a poem by Karena
in the morning - in the morning / feeling halfright / if it was more than just 1 day / i'd feel alright / today is flat / beneath the weight of / next day, next day, next day, next day / ignore my condition / just an isolated incident / when my mind's uncertain / my body decides / what it will do to get through / the hell of the night / as i trip on the ocean / that leads through your eyes / well my eyes can't wait / til they finally see through you / when i get this feeling like i'm gonna start i just have to stop

reasons - come through me / you arrive and i'm on fire / subdue me / to explode that you inspired / so groovily / second episode of all smiles / let's make a movie / in the name of all great liars / improvising kaufman style / they are all reasons to me / they are all reasons to be / they are all reasons to see / they are all reasons to me / how the hell do you do this? / change the colors shapes and size / i'm clueless / not one thing i recognize / so foolish / every now's a big surprise / help me to get through this / stay with me until i die / there's nothing else i wanna try / they are all reasons to me / they are all reasons to be / they are all reasons to see / they are all reasons to me / they are all reasons to me / they are all reasons to be / they are all reasons to see / they are all reasons to me

big dipper - once / When i was little someone pointed out to me / some constellations but the big dipper's all i could see / that brontasaurus must have stood a thousand miles high / that brontasaurus laying on its side up in the sky / bottoms up and this time / won't you let me be? / bottled up but this time / won't you rescue me? / you should have been here last night and heard what the big dipper said to me / jack thought it twice and thought that that that made it true / some brains just work that way that's what chemicals can do / he thought he'd have a beer thought he was alone / he thought an albertson's stir fry dinner would make his apartment a home / bottoms up and this time / won't you let me be? / bottled up but this time / won't you rescue me? / you should have been here last night and heard what the big dipper said to me / i thought i bored me but i learned to think like you / now nothing bores me that's that nothing is thought through / bottoms up and this time / won't you let me be? / bottled up but this time / won't you rescue me? / thought it out and this time / it's all i can see / you should have been here last night and heard what the big dipper said to me

car - you get the car / i'll get the night off / you'll get the chance to take the world apart and figure out how it works / don't let me know what you find out / i need a car / you need a guide / who needs a map / if i don't die or worse i'm gonna need a nap / at best i'll be asleep when you get back / i wanna see it when you find out what comets, stars, and moons are all about / i wanna see their faces turn to backs of heads and slowly get smaller / i wanna see it now i want specifics on the general idea / i wanna think what i should know / want you to do me what to show / i wanna see movies of my dreams / i wanna see movies of my dreams / i wanna see movies of my dreams / i wanna see movies of my dreams / i wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desert afternoon / i wanna see it untame itself and break its owner / i wanna see it now / i wanna see it now

fling - since my fling with you time went from popping off three times a day to popping off three times a week / and it takes me a long time / to come to the memory of us / one week later there's melody / doing what i always waited for / and i didn't stop her / But I didn't lead her on

cleo - wiggly days wiggly nights/ when it's dark bring in lights so you can see / what a sound straight through my spine / bounced off me / makes me round / 3-d sound / push it down move it around, see i'm fine / ain't it strange that i can dream / (you can say it's night or day / snow or rain it's all the same) / when there's nothing i have ever seen / (in here, in here) / ain't it strange that i can dream / (you can say it's night or day / snow or rain it's all the same) / ain't it strange that i have brain activity / (in here, in here) who brought those cameras in / who gave who the right / inside a sea turned from frog to freak / (linnart nilson shut off those lights) / to tiny, red, and meek / strange that i'm a human being / ain't it strange that i can dream / (you can say it's night or day / Snow or rain it's all the same) / ain't it strange that i'm a human being / (in here, in here) / ain't it strange that i can dream / (you can say it's night or day / snow or rain it's all the same) / living in the womb / running out of room / have to come out soon / have to meet the sun and moon and

the source - morning comes and i'm up on time again / upon getting up and i'm down on what i got up for / boring, dumb, and fine it's been a long time my friend / and you haven't changed neither have i / so why you wanna bring that up i feel it started at the source / what is it that makes you cry and why? / when you see a documentary and know the outcome / and that it's fucked / you still hope hitler will blow up / and that kennedy will duck / i feel it started at the source

twin falls - christmas twin falls, idaho is her oldest memory / she was only two it was the first time she felt blue / cafeteria harrison elementary / beneath a parachute i saw her without shoes / 7up i touched her thumb and she knew it was me / although she couldn't see unless of course she peeked / my mom's good she got me out of twin falls, idaho / before i got too old you know how that goes / that's where she still was the summer she turned 17 / in 1983, two weeks after me / last i heard was she had twins or maybe it was three / although i've never seen but that don't bother me

some - some people think he's good looking / other people think he's not / some people don't even know his name / other people know it by heart / some people think he likes to go out dancing / other people not / one guy i know thinks he's hard to get along with / but a lot of people think he's fine / and he don't even know / just sees how each day goes / some people say she's funny / other people say she's dumb / some people say she's stuck-up / others say she's shy / some people like her for her charm / some people take her for granted / some people wanna steal her heart / and she don't even know / how could that be so?

distopian dream girl - can you make it real / make it more than will / more than just feel / we are on a ride / we're on it all the time / it's at the front of your mind / my stepfather looks just like david bowie / but he hates david bowie / i think bowie's cool / i think lodger rules / i think my stepdad's a fool / without me there's nothing / i'm the only thing that dies / if it came down to your life or mine / i would do the stupid thing / and let you keep on living / "i'm alright," said the man to his wife / waking up to a head full of bed / full of what she said / she hadn't thought of it for a while / and when she did / she thought of it differently / than she thought she should be thinking / just the thought of it's enough / to penetrate my comfort zone

israel's song - a boy becomes normal today / finally breaks away / into freshness and understanding / he pushed the world he knew / will the world break him back / will someone snap him in half / and build back the glass / or is it just the boy now

stab - make it a time make it anytime / make sure that it's not the only kind / that others find / i've got a mind / i've got half a mind / to shut down the whole system at the spine / with fishing line / i'm really glad there's a grasp to grab / it's only a stab in a wet paper bag / is that so bad? / i wrote a song / it was slow and long / i wrote the words and the music wrong / but life goes on / and on and on and on and on and on and on
