Luci, ill see you in the sky
When im high upon my bed at night.
Lately, i start to wonder why
It's getting easy doing nothing at all.
Maybe this is crazy but, ive fallen in love again
For the first time.
Bring me up to speed, and just remind me of what I said.
When I look into your eyes.
Lucy, not a single days goes by
Stuck in loops, wishing that I was already dead.
Lately, I start to wonder why
I find it easy loving them from afar.
Lucy, oh Lucy
Where did you go?

"ill be right back"
im not going anywhere when I get back,
unless it's in your arms.
At, 3,000 miles,
Thats not enough for me to change my mind.
Into the sun
Out in the fields
Into the cold, freezing our limbs
Where we will huddle up and die.
I thought for sure
That we might as well remain there together more.
I thought for sure
But you just had to prove me wrong.
Into the sun
Onto the moon
Into space, above the clouds
Where we'll live together forever.

A Million Times Better

I would knod
He would smile
And you would fall in love all over.
I could run
But he could fly
And he could beat me
A hundred times over.
And you will always be part of my grave.
I was wrong
And he was right
And he could prove it
A thousand times better.
I freaked out,
But he could do it a lot.
And he would assure you
That everything would be right.
I was wrong, he was right
And he could prove it, a million times better,
And he would assure you that his love
Is the only love, and mine was just a game.
And fools own damn game.

Turns Me On

Give me your love and ill forget
Give me a kiss and ill regress
Give me a smile and ill forget
Give me your body baby.
And in my subconscious babe
God knows im aroused
And pin me up to your wall
Use me when your dry.
And when you spin me like a record, baby
It only turns me on
And when you push me down, im right back up
You know it turns me on.

There he was in an alley
With no money to his name just a can full of shame
He met people crossing by
Of riches and of fame
They told him it was a, "Shame to Stay the Same"
After all he was just a boy
Trapped in a box and dreaming for the stars, although
They would never call his name.
But his friends lay hidden deep within the forest.
Where nothing could survive, where Fruitcut would reside.
And his friends lay hidden deep cut in his brain.
Where monsters would reside, and logic set aside.
He grew so tall and real real fast
Moved up the social latter
Bought some respect from local merchants
Now the people chant his name
It filled old Fruitcut's gentle ego
Now at last he thought he could see
Sooner or later his friends showed up
And told him how to be and how to lead.
But they float around his head and chant my name.
Knowing he'll resign, he would want to stay alive.
Poor old Fruitcut knew nothing more than just to please.
Brought the people to his knees, and showed them how to be.
Oh Fruitcut Jones
He was just a boy.
We always played pretend
I thought I was his friend.
Oh, Fruitcut Jones
Here we are again
Caught in the big black sea
Nothing but you and me.

I know that i would go
Anywhere that you would go
Meet me on a highway
If your going my way.
Someday we will be dead stars
And someday we will be losers.
Meet me on a Tuesday because,
Friday you say that's no good.
But im dumb, to just be more than friends
Till the end of time.
But these city lights, they drown our voices out
And keep us in the dark.
I know that i would go
Anywhere that you would go
Meet me on a highway
If your going my way.
Someday we will be dead stars
And someday we will be losers.
I still need to find a way
To action, cut, and replay it.
Ive seen ten thousand more,
Darling i bet i'd bet i'd creep you out
If i said, "more than friends"
But these city lights, they drown our voices out
And keep us in the dark.

Scattered minds
Make up the time.
Waiting for too long
Sitting up so high.
Now we are falling from the skies,
The sins of you and I.
In the woods
We settle down.
Smiles are shortly met
Asking what is wrong.
But we are running out of pie
And running out of time.
You wanted less
You wanted less of this space.
You walked you eyes
And you looked away in dismay.
We turn around
Only to find
Its the same place
Where we found peace.
But tearing up the skies
The sin's of you and I.
Now we are falling down below
No one will ever know ...
Who build this city? (They keep asking the same thing)
I don't know, but it will live forever.
And I wait and I wait and I wait
But someday will never come.
And we pray, and we fight
And we give, and we love
For nothing.
These fucking games
These fucking games in my mind.
I want to sleep
I want to sleep forever.
I don't want to wait
I dont want to wait for the time.
Give me a break
I need to think one last time.

Oh Lucy my Lucy
Where are you going my Lucy?
I am only singing for you
So that one day you will forget me.
Oh, someday I will find them
The fortunes I hold dear.
From the city that will never
Ever forget, what they heard tonight.
Ambitions, ambitions
Generations of dreamers
With their sleeplessness and
Their lonely nights
Who can ever reconcile their loss?
Hoping someday their passions
Will rake in some more green men.
But I will have to stop and wait it out,
Because my city is there forever
Then one day they all called to you
Although you were no where near.
A search for skies, and ground, and space
And oceans of the deepest depths.
Then they were all done, and I was older still.
I am trapped inside a capsule of time
Spiral staircase up then down.
Foreign dialect spoken by lovers,
I assume.
The lights stain my view
My time is measured in footsteps.
"You gotta make it quick
You gotta make it fast.
Make is jiffier and chappier
Than a jackrabbit on a hot summers night.
Leave in the morning.
It's NYC the city that never sleeps
Big Apple; the greatest and smelliest city on earth
is waiting for you, you, and YOU."
It's the loneliness, it keeps me young.
It keeps me going.
