Randy Described Eternity every thousand years / this metal sphere / ten times the size of Jupiter / floats just a few yards past the earth / you climb on your roof / and take a swipe at it / with a single feather / hit it once every thousand years / `til you've worn it down / to the size of a pea / yeah I'd say that's a long time / but it's only half a blink / in the place you're gonna be where you gonna be / where will you spend eternity / I'm gonna be perfect from now on / I'm gonna be perfect starting now / stop making that sound / stop making that sound / I will say I forgot / but it was only yesterday / and it's all you had to say

I Would Hurt A Fly I can't get that sound you make out of my head / I can't even figure out what's making it / no one else around even seems to be noticing / it's only small enough for me I can't get that sound you make out of my head / I can't even figure out what's making it / it feels like fingernails across the moon / or do you rub your wings together / there's a mean bone in my body / it's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer / and I won't take that from you / because I'd / hurt a fly let you go to sleep / feeling bad as me / let you go to sleep / feeling bad / there's a mean bone in my body / it's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer / and I won't take that from you / because I'd / hurt a fly

Stop The Show you don't tell me anything / that's not a dream / that's not a big lie / you're not going anywhere / you don't care / you think that's fine / you don't owe me anything / you're offering / it's already mine / your best friend is everywhere / they don't care / they think you're slime / you don't even know / what it means to take your own advice / and then / expect me to look surprised after awhile you know their style and that's enough to know they suck / and when you know they'll stop the show because they know you know / I know it's sad but don't feel bad they knew they had it coming / after awhile it hurts to smile and if you laugh it's just a typical miracle

Made-Up Dreams these thoughts are old / let's keep it cold / dry lines on me / dry history / dryology that stupid sound / that awful feel / don't bring them down / and it never will / no it never will / no it never will / no it never will hard to believe / that after all this time / that after all this I'm / still me no one wants to hear / what you dreamt about unless you dreamt about them / don't let that stop you / tell them anyway / and you can make it up as you go / I'm already gone now / you were outside just waiting / I'm already nothing / you just noticed me fading / it takes a lot to make me crazy / and a lot is always going on

Velvet Waltz if there's a word for you / it doesn't mean anything / I've got some words for you / they don't offer anything / you cold called everybody / but you haven't sold a thing / a bad idea gone funny / a pinch felt in a dream / you thought of everything but some things can't be thought / you thought of everything but one thing you forgot is you're wrong and you better not be angry / and you better not be sad / you better just enjoy the luxury of sympathy / if that's a luxury you have / and you know no private bad / you know that that's the meaning of you're done / in a world that's not so bad / in a world time was killing in the sun / in a world that's not so bad / in a world time was killing in the sun / in the sun / in the sun / you took all that moment / and you left it in the sun / now it's gone because you left it in the sun / was a brave idea / didn't mean no harm / now it's burnt because you left it in the sun / was a great mistake / but how could you have known / the temperature, the distance of the sun

Out of Site raised unright / so uptight / but why blame you / you wouldn't be if you could choose most of the time it's out of site / it hit me today / who gave who the right / who took mine away / what a sight / what a sound / what a way to bring people down / what a way to bring me down I know that you'll get yours when you get empty / it's so close / I'm sure that you would rather do that than be in your clothes you must have waited a long time / bet you were disappointed / I waited longer than that / just goes to prove / proving's illogical but / (Illogical) / it's sometimes necessary / proving's illogical but / (Illogical) / it's a cinch fa-la-la / fa-la-laaa / but why blame you / you wouldn't be if you could choose most of the time it's out of site / it hit me today / who gave who the right / who took mine away / what a sight / what a sound / what a way to bring people down / what a way to bring me down / it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Kicked It In The Sun backwashed thoughts / and you made me talk / no you made me listen / there's a feeling from ada to irene / there's something / there's nothing you haven't seen / tiny tv / on at three / so serene / no place to be alone / so come on over / yeah / let's sit down a little while / some wine / you will find the same things / the same things / the same things / the same things / the same things / by the time you read this / you kicked it in the sun / it was all that you could do / how could you refuse / and you kicked it in the sun / it was all you had to do / and you kicked it in the sun / it was all you had to do / how could you refuse / and you kicked it in the sun / it was wrong and it was rude / and you kicked it in the sun / it was wrong and it was rude / how could you refuse / and you kicked it in the sun it's alright now I'm getting over getting mine / it's alright now I'm getting over getting mine he seemed so unashamed of how he operated / corresponds to the facts that you want / despite his expectations / he turned out mediocre / his master plan was so so / we're special in other ways / ways our mothers appreciate / that net does not make me feel safe / all those holes make me nervous he woke up late that morning / went to the window and saw the sun had stopped its shining / so so / we're special in other ways / ways our mothers appreciate / we're special in other ways / ways our mothers appreciate / we're special / we're special

Untrustable you can't trust anyone / cause you're untrustable / how can you trust someone you know can't trust you / you won't help anyone / cause you're unusable / no one can tie you down / you're nobody's fool / and I'd love to see it but it's something you just feel / and I'd like to feel it but it just isn't real / and god is whoever you're performing for / and god is whoever you perform for you don't like anything cause you're unlikable / all because you're not interested in you anymore / it's so unthinkable cause you don't think of it / how many ideas can fit in your reality / and I'd love to see it but it's something you just feel / and I'd like to feel it but it just isn't real and I'd love to see it but it's something you just feel / and I'd like to feel it but it just isn't real / and god is whoever you're performing for / and god is whoever you perform for

Pt. 2 (about someone else) I know you / feel the things you see you know they're true / what are you gonna do / why can't you / have a guise of jesus point of view / what are you gonna do / can you feel the darkness shining through / what are you gonna do / why can't you / move yourself like other people do / what are you gonna do / I know you wouldn't be the way you feel if you could choose / what are you gonna do / can you feel the darkness shining through / what are you gonna do
