Pouring rain, it came splashing down
Soaking deep into my soul
Another year it's getting clear
I have to face she won't be here
When I tell the world my story
Pouring rain, it comes crashing down
When I search into my heart
There's more to share, look everywhere
And yet it seems that no one cares
Never's not as good as late
Good things come to those who wait
I'll myself these words again
But I still have one question: when?
I've been here way too long
And I am lonely..
Now I can tell the world my story:
Pouring rain, it came crashing down
But the sun came out today
The steam did rise before my eyes
I had no hope but then surprise!
The lesson learned: one must beware
Or become blinded with despair
Everybody has a clue
Of someone who will say "me, too."
And if you don't you're dead
Or you are lonely
So lonely
Pouring rain..
Pouring rain..

Scientist: lab book, pencil, beakers
Scratching his head he toils all night
Searching for clues and perfect answers
Let's take a close look at his plight
There's a place in this universe where nothing happens
Well there's got to be one or else we'd all explode
But I can't find the minus sign or even division
It all grows - it grows and it grows and it grows
Everything seems to expand then reach a conclusion
But there's infinite space just beyond the end
You don't need a telescope, or microscope, just glasses
We human can only handle so much, yet we pretend..
The number of thoughts
The number of days
The number of sounds
The number of ghosts
The number of graves
The number of things
The number of things
The number of things...

Was he a savior? His intentions good?
Why is he worth more than Hollywood?
His concepts were simple, his ideas were used
I get this ill feeling the world was abused
By windows
Nothing will work without windows
They're much better ways yet still everyone pays
For these windows
The software is shitty and it doesn't come cheap
But it looks cool on your old scrap heap
So what if he rid us of cryptic commands?
I can't applaud there's a mouse in my hand
Fuck windows
We were just fine without windows
It's soft on the eyes
It's a crock in disguise titled "windows"
The trick is the upgrades, they make us look dumb
When we buy version 800.1
What we got on our planet is another Trump
While he scores his billions we all want to jump
Out of windows
The world can't go on without windows
Advance is aborted 'cuz all is supported by windows
How do you quit out of windows
Through the Gates pour the mobs
Because there are stopped Jobs
Close your windows...

Recognized

After six months I finally said enough
There's no way I'll be your diamond in the rough
I pushed some buttons - I gave it a chance
Waste of time - why'd I dwell so much upon it?
I still have that card with your name on it
Getting called up for my lucky break
Nervous now that I only get one mistake
And once I blow that I'm tossed out the door
Risked my soul so I could get that extra life
Worthless goal, stupid prayer uttered every night:
Recognized
Recognized
Let me be recognized...
I'm nothing but that pain in your chest
Hired on to be your scapegoat at best
I did what you asked but earned no reward
Yeah I'm glad that party has abandoned me
But in my mind I'm loved and I will always be
Recognized
Recognized
Not some second prize
I am recognized...

Watching the News

Oh! Sucker time is here
My most favorite time of year
Line right up and face your punishment
Oh! There is no excuse
Not to take abuse
I will rip your earlobes off
And gouge your eyes out with a spoon
And wedge inside your rectum a bassoon
I will make you listen to a
Kenny G. or Yanni tune
And maybe you'll be happy
Oh! Sucker time is now
And all torture is allowed
Let me calibrate my instruments
Which make you less than whole
Dig into your soul
I will make you eat twelve hot dogs
Then run ten miles around this track
I will pull your heart out through your back
Then I'll whisper "all is well"
As everything around turns black
And maybe you'll be happy

Some girl called from a pay phone
And she knew your first name
I thought we had an understanding
But now it's clear the days are almost done
When I play with your gun
I'm joking
I'm sorry
I love you
The uniform is so distracting
It cries out, "I will dominate!"
And I admit I like the nightstick
But it's so hard to get off with the same hand
That beats another man
I'm sorry
I love you
I promise...

Florida

Oh I like my winters frozen
Yes I live for New York snow
But even I can't bear to stay for three months in a row
I'll hope on some airliner
And cruise south for a week
Because in January some thaw is what I seek
A bathing suit, a winter coat
It's all the same to me
It doesn't matter what I wear because the weather is free
A few days in the sunshine
Beside the salty breeze
Then I can spend another year in the northern frosty freeze
A bathing suit, a winter coat
It's all the same to me
It doesn't matter what I wear because the weather is free
A winter coat, a bathing suit
Yes I would pay the price
To spend my days in Florida and spend my nights on ice

My Ass is Beautiful
02:36
|

I talk to people all the time
I talk to people all the time
The words they make no sense
But this experience
Just proves to me I have the spine
I lie to people all the time
I lie to people all the time
I'll never feel the guilt
For all the blood I spilt
Your broken heart ain't worth a dime
I'm using people all the time
Abusing people all the time
So let's just cut the bull
My ass is beautiful
One little shake and you are mine

Mine
04:02
|

After all this time - diamonds shimmer in the mine
Just beyond the fence - weak and withered wire defense
The creature has a clue
Demonstrates the means to enter
Knowing what to do
Artless dusty wall - health forsaken says it all
Poring over specs - and frat boy dreams of ad execs
The person with no plan
Fabricates their own lame jargon
To force the upper hand
But there's no light down here
No way to make out fake expressions
So.. it's all too clear
The hermit has no home
Lost within a maze of dwellings
Too close to be alone
Where else could they reside?
Since there is no place left up here to hide...

Weighted Wings
03:25

Under these weighted wings I'll fly
Because I know you will be there
When I arrive in port on time
Gravity pulls me so far down
But then the wind will catch me
Under these weighted wings I'll fly
I'm stuck up here
Where the air is thin, low on oxygen
It's so damn cold and my arms are aching me
She's down there where
The wind is warm through her jet black hair
Under these weighted wings I'll fly
Because I know you will be there
When I arrive in port on time
Gravity pulls me so far down
But then the wind will catch me
Lord knows you can't say I don't try
I'm coming down
Turn on the beacon lights
And give me good, hard ground, 'cuz
Under these weighted wings I'll fly
Because I know you will be there
When I arrive in port on time
Gravity pulls me so far down
But then the wind will catch me
Lord knows you can't say I don't try
Under these weighted wings I'll fly
Because I know you will be there
When I arrive in port on time
Time.. Time.. Time.. On time...

I'm Only Having Fun
04:17
|

What did my world become
That I wish you were dumb
And I have to get up to adjust your feed
But tonight I'll go too far
Without bicycle nor car
Yet another want perverts into a need
But I'm only having fun
I'm only having fun
Don't bother learning lines
Since I'm here to kill some time
By defintion this is all reality
It's all bogus from the start
I hope this doesn't hurt your heart
The excuse that I give so I can get off scott free
Is that I'm only having fun
I'm only having fun
I'm only having fun
I'm only having fun
I'm only having fun
I'm only having fun
I'm only having fun
I'm only having fun

Escaping to the Mall
02:20

There's no hope, but there's time
Let's meet up after nine
I have no strong foundation
But at least I have my friends
There's no determination
But at least I have my friends
Open up and let's go shop
Feelings high until I drop
I have no dreams of glory
But at least I have my friends
There's no rich background story
But at least I have my friends
At least I have my friends - At least I have my friends
At least I have my friends - At least I have my friends
At least I have my friends - At least I have my friends
At least I have my friends - At least I have my friends
