I can try to be so smart Like a wall of MOCA art And all the works of Decartes But nothing fits my empty heart The body knows but the brain gets in the way I always thought I’d end up alone The lights are off when I get home It feels good to always be right White lies from the boy who can’t cry The body knows but the brain gets in the way Just slow down And close your eyes Feel the sand Realize We’re quick to cut It’s quick to mend Tie a string To everything within The body knows but the brain gets in the way The body knows but the brain gets in the way

Out of the interview The chances you just blew Don’t lose your cool Sweating through your suit You’re too old to be cute Nothing to do I should be rich Or at least better than this Not worn out thin from the 1 am Thursday gig And I want to get out of it And I want to get out of it You go and set your aim But they only know your first name It’s all the same to you Lied on your resume Cause the payments are getting late You can’t wait to lose I never guessed It would be like this The heads of college kids are all filled with debt And I want to get out of it And I want to get out of it We regret to inform you…

It wouldn't be the first time That you disappeared It wouldn't be the first time that I need you near You left me standing right here You don't get why I'm so upset It's easier to lie When you're gone I feel there is something wrong You got me asking why It wouldn't be the first time That you ran away It wouldn't be the first time That you need a break And now I'm starting to break

Good Karma 03:02
This place sucks And it’s not getting any better I’m all mixed up Like I fell asleep in a blender I’m too tired to remember Too scared to be tender I feel dull and dark today My head is a million miles… I need some good karma to get me back on my way My girlfriend left And the rent is past due The note on my car says “Sorry I hit you, dude” It’s always raining lemonade On my parade in Tim-buck-too I wish I knew what to… I need some good karma to get me back on my way All the small things in the world Can make me really want to die I need a cosmic handout To help feel more a… I saw you drop your wallet And I tried to flag you down You didn’t see me And the cash could really help me out I’ll use it on a really good sale That only happens once in May Every dog has his… I need some good karma to get me back on my way

Impossible 02:37
I don't know what to do When you won't talk to me crying into the sheets drinking so heavenly Taking it to the streets Talking to friends I meet No one can recognize The pain inside these eyes Try to control my mind Getting to work on time I don't very far Wondering where you are Picturing other guys You in another life Walking inside a church How could it get any worse It's just so typical It feels impossible And I cannot breathe Without you next to me Give me a little sign Tell me that I'm alright Something to hold me down Keep me from breaking down Cause you are the only one that makes me feel right Say you'll be coming back Say you'll be there tonight Time I think of you all the time Close my eyes I think of you all the time

There’s a green exit sign Means you can leave at any time It’s hanging on my mind now For a good good while I’m at the bar for a fifth Get in the car – you’re coming with Our disappearance will become a myth In this town We’ve got no, no destination Not a guide or map Without a Kerouac We’ve got to, to change the station Let’s break on through Just me and you Hit the road and call collect Tell the folks not to get upset Where we’re headed we don’t know yet We’re keeping our hearts pure See the King in Tennessee Makes some waves in Waikiki Fall off the Statue of Liberty Like in Saboteur We’ve got no, no destination Going out the back Burn it with a match We’ve got to, to change the station Cross the county line While we still have time
