Oh! Society!

His life was a map made of roads and veins
A hundred different ways to get to the same place
Six feet under but never much further when walking on the ground
Oh whoa whoa oh
Oh society
Everybody wants a piece
Of somebody elseās life
So theyāll cut it out with a knife
And run off into the night
(x2)
Her life was a grid made of stills and stares
A thousand different names and all of them strangers
Three inches higher but never much taller when walking on the ground
Oh whoa whoa oh
Oh society
Everybody wants a piece
Of somebody elseās life
So theyāll cut it out with a knife
And run off into the night
(x2)
Everyone wants what they think they miss
Everyone cries into the abyss
Everyone wants what they think they miss
Everyone cries out into the abyss
Your life is a map made of roads and veins
A hundred different ways to get to the same place
Oh society
Everybody wants a piece
Of somebody elseās life
So theyāll cut it out with a knife
And run off into the night
(x2)

The Listening Room
02:51
|
|||
Here I sit
Planning my world domination
And I canāt normally see
But my eyesight is especially bad tonight
And the sounds of the listening room
The place that will tear you down and blow you out
And magnify every shred of doubt
So block your ears and close your eyes
Block your ears and close your eyes
And turn away
There you stand
With your hair slicked back like itās sitting on top of the world
If the world was your head
And over and over again the listening room
Waits quietly to urge you on
When it had another plan all along
So block your ears and close your eyes
Block your ears and close your eyes
And turn away
Your knees are exposed
My shoulders are bare
Look at what modern fashion has caused us to wear
Your knees are exposed
And they must be cold
From the fact that you bought new jeans just two weeks ago
Your knees are exposed
And my shoulders are bare
If we were both naked would anyone careā¦..
Through the sounds of the listening room
The place that will tear you down and blow you out
And magnify every shred of doubt
So block your ears and close your eyes
Block your ears and close your eyes
Block your ears and close your eyes
And turn away

Somebody Else's Tongue
03:18
|
|||
Hey I watched you float away from me
But I swear itās fine
Sure thereās a pain in my head
But itās there all the time
Feels like Iāve swallowed a tongue
But not mine
Somebody elseās tongue
Maybe the wrong one
(x2)
Feels like I swallowed a tongue
Somebody elseās tongue
Maybe the wrong one
Help! Iām caught in a design malfunction
And I canāt see the lines
Thereās a point on the horizon
Guess Iāll use that as my God
Feels like Iāve swallowed a tongue
But not mine
Somebody elseās tongue
Maybe the wrong one
Feels like I swallowed a tongue
Somebody elseās tongue
Maybe the wrong one
Whisper softly Iām going crazy (x3)
Feels like Iāve swallowed a tongue
But not mine
Somebody elseās tongue
Somebody elseās tongue
Feels like I swallowed a tongue
Somebody elseās tongue
Maybe the wrong one

Anymore
03:20
|

I canāt figure out my mind
I canāt seem to leave my past behind
But Iām not sure I want to
āCause I donāt know who I am
Iām not sure I want to
āCause I donāt know who I am
Anymore (x4)
You seem to think that itās okay
To steal my heart then walk away
But you laughed when you told me
That you had never felt this way
You laughed when you told me
That you werenāt gonna walk away
Anymore (x4)
I donāt know what youāre saying (x2)
āCause you pulled the rug from beneath my feet (x4)
And I fell down
I fell down
I canāt figure out my mind
I canāt seem to leave my past behind
Anymore (x4)

Mouths (2020)
03:08
|
|||
Everyone has a mouth
In their mind or hanging out
And thereās a line you crossed it
And I almost lost it this time
Everyone has doubts
In their voice when theyāre screaming out
Into the void who hears you
And then ignores you again
So what is this silence about?
āCause we are the people who shout!
What is this silence about?
āCause we are the people who shout!
We are the people who shout!
We are the people
Everyone has a mouth
Spewing loud or counting down
Until the war is over
But itās never over for long
Everyone has a face
Weāre all just a part of the human race
And this gets forgotten
And more lives get lost everyday
So what is this silence about?
āCause we are the people who shout!
What is this silence about?
āCause we are the people who shout!
We are the people who shout!
We are the people
In solidarity letās all jump into the sea (x4)
āCause what is this silence about?
We are the people who shout!
What is this silence about?
āCause we are the people who shout!
We are the people who shout!
We are the people
Everyone has a mouth (x3)

Don't Know Where
02:47
|
|||
I left home at nineteen and twenty-one
I grew up on the other side of the pond
I said āIām never coming backā
So why did I come back? Oh!
Your hold on me is too strong
So now I donāt know where I belong
And your hold on me is too strong
So now I donāt know where I belong
And no I donāt know where I belong
I wrote down nine years of my life
And gave it all to someone with no right
But now Iām still living ink
And I still have time to think- Oh!
Your hold on me is too strong
So now I donāt know where I belong
And your hold on me is too strong
So now I donāt know where I belong
And no I donāt know where I belong
And now I donāt know where I belong
I gave my heart to outstretched hands
When I left my love in faraway lands
(x2)
But your hold on me is too strong
So now I donāt know where I belong
And your hold on me is too strong
So now I donāt know where I belong
And your hold on me is too strong
So now I donāt know where I belong
And no I donāt know where I belong
And now I donāt know where I belong

New York Part One
03:06
|
|||
You drained all my blood
And left my corpse on the side of the road
I lay cold and dark
And my eyes, they werenāt even closed
And time wore a black coat that was just like yours
And I cried out āplease, open another door!ā
But time just turned its head and walked away
So here on the ground is where Iāll stay
My head filled with sand
And my mind tumbled into the sea
Then I lost my path
And the road crumbled under my feet
And time wore a black coat that was just like yours
And I cried out āplease, bring me to life once more!ā
But time just turned its head and walked away
So here on the ground is where Iāll stay
And I watched the world spin
And the walls cave in
I closed my eyes
āCause I couldnāt be right
We sat side by side
As the sun set fire to the sky

Yamamori Janjan Nolita

|

āIt just tastes right,
Thatās how I would best describe my lifeā
He said
āThereās something about it, could be this light
But whoās to say? Itās all nonsense anyway!ā
So yamamori janjan nolita, my dear
Of all the streets in Dublin I wish you were here
(x2)
He walked away
And on the back of his shirt I saw my face
Reflected on cotton threads and perfectly raised
But how could this be? Thereās so much of the world left to see!
So yamamori janjan nolita, my dear
Of all the streets in Portland I wish you were here
(x2)
And like the seldom-used exit door on your right
Thereās something about the air around us tonight
Do flames flicker because theyāre picking a fight
Or are they just trying their best to give off light?
So yamamori janjan nolita my dear
Yamamori janjan nolita my dear
Yamamori janjan nolita my dear
Yamamori janjan nolita my dear
Of all the streets in the world I wish you were here - oh no
It just tastes right

Thumbs typing busy typing thumbs
Heart beating racing beating heart
Mind thinking ideating thinking mind
Palms sweaty shaking sweaty palms
Phones omnipresent glowing omnipresent phones
Sleeves comforting long comforting sleeves
Iām a chameleon
And everyone here has such nice shoes
And the brick walls keep the secrets safe
All the brick walls and all their secrets
(x2)
Iām happiest when Iām quietly watching the world
Or maybe even happier when Iām singing my observations
The business man puts his back to the wall
Little does he know itās a window
And Iām on the other side!
āCause Iām a chameleon
And everyone here has such nice shoes
And the brick walls keep the secrets safe
All the brick walls and all their secrets
(x2)
All the brick walls and all their secrets
Thumbs typing busy typing thumbs (thumbs)
Heart beating racing beating heart
Mind thinking ideating thinking mind (mind)
Palms sweaty shaking sweaty palms
Iām a chameleon
And everyone here has such nice shoes
And the brick walls keep the secrets safe
All the brick walls and all their secrets
All the brick walls and all their secrets

Kiss Me Goodbye
02:30
|
|||
I wear shoes with high heels so I can be taller than everyone
And I think thoughts larger than my life so that I wonāt get bored
But itās too late for that now
Itās too late for that now
So kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye
And make this moment count
I go out for long walks so I can clear my head before I die
And itās too warm in this room because we all breathe far too much
But itās too late for that now
Itās too late for that now
So kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye
And make this moment count
And way up high where the clouds start to disappear and
We all need oxygen tanks
Well you and I will dance one more time above the earth
Before I up and leave
But itās too late for that now
Itās too late for that now
So kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye
Kiss me goodbye, kiss me goodbye
And make this moment count

New York Part Two
02:41
|
|||
New York you ate me alive
Guess Iām luck that, lucky I survived
Brooklyn I called you my home
That is, the place I curled up and told myself Iām not alone
Even though I was
Lying in a pool of my own blood
So oh tilt your head back
No keep your head down
This is the driest place that I couldāve drown
Oh tilt your head back
No keep your head down
This is the driest place that I couldāve drown
The stars always looking down
Manhattan, that was my street
There was a bar and a little shop that was known for its packaged meat
On Sundays Iād wash all my clothes
At the place on 19th, Iād leave just minutes before they closed
And walk back home
And told myself that Iām not alone
So oh tilt your head back
No keep your head down
This is the driest place that I couldāve drown
Oh tilt your head back
No keep your head down
This is the driest place that I couldāve drown
Your soul isnāt lost and found
I packed all my things and I left
If there was a hole it had been filled before I could catch my breath
A taxi then onto a plane
I closed my eyes, I wasnāt sure if Iād see you again
But Iād changed
Even after just ten days
So oh tilt your head back
No keep your head down
This is the driest place that I couldāve drown
Oh tilt your head back
No keep your head down
This is the driest place that I couldāve drown
The stars always looking down

Don't Forget To Look Up
03:14
|
|||
We spend our days locked away
Just staring out the window
Isnāt it funny how people say we always look down?
Go sit in the green chair
What are you doing here?
And whatās with your frown?
You donāt know how luck you are
And you live among the stars
So donāt forget to look up
Thereās a roof above your head
And the sky up above
When youāre dreaming in your bed
Donāt forget to look up
Donāt forget to look
I met a man who said he canāt remember the last time
He woke up without a backlight
Eyes fixed on a screen
He said āI thought that Iād quit smoking but Iām still breathing smokeā
You donāt know how lucky you are
When you live among the stars
So donāt forget to look up
Thereās a roof above your head
And the sky up above
When youāre dreaming in your bed
Donāt forget to look up
Donāt forget to look
Donāt forget to look up
Donāt forget to look
Ooooh (x3)
We spend our days locked away just staring out the windowā¦
Donāt forget to look up
Thereās a roof above your head
And the sky up above
When youāre dreaming in your bed
Donāt forget to look up
Donāt forget to look
Donāt forget to look up
Donāt forget to look

Irish Rain
03:42
|
|||
Someone told me I have eyes
I have eyes like silhouettes
Theyāre dark and lonely and mysterious
But theyāre beautiful nonetheless
And someone told me I have legs
I have legs as long as days
Days in the dead of winter
When itās dark almost all of the time
But at least they work
And at least theyāre mine
And itās cruel and itās sweet
Delightfully mean
But I guess thatās the way of the world
Thatās the way of the world
Someone told me I have hands
I have hands as cold as ice
But they play guitar like an old folk star
And theyāre nice to hold at night
And someone told me Iāve a smile
Iāve a smile like Irish rain
It hits you head on and a little sideways
And it changes every minute of the day
And itās cruel and itās sweet
Delightfully mean
But I guess thatās the way of the world
Thatās the way of the world
And someone told me Iāve a smile
Iāve a smile like Irish rain
It hits you head on and a little sideways
And it changes every minute of the day
