wishing to be - just to be a kid growing up's a bore and growing old is worse summers beneath the trees oh, to be a kid when living for the moment's fine let's all go back in time and be kids oh, to be a kid maybe I'm cursed was I ever a kid? a troubled one, for what it's worth my youth seemed to float away with the summer breeze oh, to be a kid did I sing my summer songs? let's go back and sing along and be kids oh, to be a kid let's be kids

I pine for her I pine for her all alone lean up against the wall eyes cast down it hurts to pine for her pine anyway I pine for her all alone visions I keep stored away in a case like some antique I pine for her I don't speak her name I pine for her silently visions I keep all maintained in a case in a long lost dream now I pine for her I pine for her I pine for her

courtney 02:12
I stand on my knees I wake up confused stay out of my dreams, I tell you courtney can't tell what it means wake up and I feel I want to tell you get out of my dreams - and I tell you courtney shiver my bones I don't know where my home is why are you a dream? I tell you courtney I wrestle with hope now like some kind of dope now stay out my dreams that's what I tell you courtney

I found an old song from the room an old dim castle on a hill say my grace shoot the trash up take my will all my yesterdays are gone all my yesterdays were wrong this life is not funny I'm eating trash and I can't feel my face I'm out of money come shoot me up, shoot it right in this life is not funny my castle is trash and I can't feel a thing my milk and honey come shoot it up, yeah shoot it right in

judy 03:06
when we were just teenage dreamers we crossed over a plane, just went so insane we weren't meant to exit then I kissed you in an old chestnut tree we tumbled down the hill behind st. mary's church we were only but seventeen judy oh, judy skippin' school and trippin' out like hippie fools the avenue in town was not big enough we were young and restless then now I can hardly breath I can't believe the news that just came to me somebody treated you so badly once oh, judy

I'm apart 05:03
I'm here and I'm apart I swear I never felt a part of I dove through rings of smoke in dingy dive bars and I end up with a needle stuck in my arm I been here apart I been here apart now I'm clean 300 days and sick of myself I'm here and I'm apart wherever I end up, I feel apart and I tell you, I swear, I never felt a part of well, I'm apart I'm apart
7.
it's time for the spirit exchange where will our lives end up now? once we've become so entwined once yours is traded for mine I notice you it's time for the spirit exchange taking this path is a risk it's one I've been willing to take it's one that I go down with pleasure here comes the spirit exchange once we cross paths, it's forever once we cross paths, it's a deal now, every exchange has its purpose and I notice you
8.
memory street for miles don't ask me the way I feel I'm too tired to get back to you a road so long, may never end I run away with you down memory street with you La da da da memory street is wide and lined with a thousand moments I try to recall I do nobody lives here but phantoms that time wore thin I try to hold onto you La da da da try to hold onto you
9.
we spend our lives on a hill because it's too much to handle now we're handed more than our fill I say it's all in the pastures now I never learned to relate and now the sand is running low I'm staring through all the walls and my head is spinning like a top on a table and the sand is running low grave mistakes we have made we say they're all in the pastures now lined up for spirit exchange I see them all in the pastures now somehow we all speak in tongues - what we're saying? I don't know we've broken all of the rungs on this ladder and it's tilting slowly sand is running low sand running low all in the pastures now

pink clouds 03:22
pink cloud pink cloud I've made my bed pink cloud, cloud visit me for tea they say this cloud is harsher than it seems I visit pink clouds in a pleasant dream pink clouds, clouds I try so hard to please they say this cloud will up and simply dissipate pink cloud, oh cloud let me live the dream let me live my dream they say this cloud is nothing safe on which to lean

shannon 02:08

maryjane 02:59
I met maryjane in the psych ward gave her a ring and we shared my cigarettes said she was a bluebird growing wings gonna fly away and we wandered down the hall hung matisse right upside down on a pink and green wall I met maryjane in the psych ward life's unfair smelled the river in her hair yeah, I met maryjane and we shared my cigarettes said mania is bliss sees in dreams that we all miss but remains here in the hall in the psych ward by the wall and she shares my cigarettes maryjane shares my cigarettes

n o s 05:02
(not otherwise specified) I'd like to meet you even if I never know you I'd say I'd seen you and I'd say it was fine that's where I'd draw the line then later I'd claim I like you I'd like to treat you to a superficial distance just for instance, "I feel fine." please don't obscure the line and maybe I'll feign to like you yeah, sure, I like you sure, i like you I guess it's sad my veins are full of ice I guess I'd be sad if I felt that'd be nice but that's way beyond the line but I'd say I'd seen you and I'd claim to know you and, sure, I like you.
14.
I hardly know who I am without her to tell me just who I am I find I creep through the ages, wondering always who I am this is the way I appear this is the way I present myself just like a painting of fear a photograph of poor mental health so I say, "would you mind? turn your face to mine..." I spot a gleam in your eye - it may just be me defined If I could see me through you - be my mirror, wouldn't you? so I say, "would you mind? turn your face to mine... wouldn't you?"
