Track Name: Spit It Out
Happy birthday on the phone
3 AM
You took 30 pills

Suck the life out of the night
And spit it out
All over the morning

Like a drunk little lamb
Slept on the pike
Almost got killed

What happened to your cigarette?
Do I smell something burning?

Happy endings all around
Keep your feet planted
And when the world stops turning
You’ll be the first one running
And we will all be tuning in
Until you change channels again

Took a ride into town
On your behalf
And lost everything

Can’t expect apology
You’re alive
Just count your blessings

You’re an expert, you’re a pro
You’ve paid your dues
Out like a light

Friends like you are hard to lose
You cost a lot of money

(chorus)

The mirror’s not your friend
It’s no big joke
You can’t go home

(chorus)
Track Name: Not Me, Not Now
Why you got to go and go crazy
Girl you just amaze me
With all your little tics
You can take the dogs and the money
Just stop acting so funny
My bella lunatic

Now I’ve come to the realization that
I’ve got to skip town before the roof caves in
And it’s caving in

Get off me, I don’t want this
I’m so tired of your therapist
And your karate action figures
Just cluttering my space
I used to want to remember this place

People talking all round the city
Things ain’t look pretty
As far as we’re concerned
Washed right out the back of the basement
But what’s the replacement
We both end up getting burned

Now I’m done with the alienation
And I’ve got to skip town
I’m warning the engine now, here it comes

Get off me, I don’t want this
I’m so tired of your therapist
And your parade of new best friends
All up in my face
I used to want to remember this place
Not now

Get off me, I don’t want this
I’m so tired of your therapist
And your karate action figures
Just cluttering my space
I used to want to remember

But that’s not me, I’m not like that
I’m so tired of your therapist
And your parade of new best friends
All up in my face
I used to want to remember this place
Track Name: Julia's Cold
Can I come over tonight baby?
Please say yes, I can’t take another maybe
Meet me at the bar by the telephone building
I’ll be the one waiting there all night for you

Every time I ask you to come down
You’ve come down with something new

What in the world am I to do
Three whole days without seeing you
Now Julia’s caught herself a cold
And I don’t want to catch it too

You’re so evasive when I call you
Probably sick in bed feeling awful
I don’t want to waste a day
But you keep backing away
And I’m at the bar waiting all night for you

I don’t know what came over me
I just had to tell you I was way into your scene
I’m sorry if that headache that’s keeping you in tonight
Has anything to do with me
Won’t you be my valentine, Julia

What in the world am I to do
Two more weeks without seeing you
Now Julia’s caught herself a cold
And it’s turned into the flu

Why won’t you come with me tonight
I think I could make you feel alright
Julia please hang up the phone
And come on
I’ve got something for you
Track Name: Across The Hall
They moved in last month, took the old name off the box
Pulled all the shades and changed all the locks
Sometimes I hear screaming, but then it just stops
And the silence is eerie and calm

He comes down the hall like a bat out of hell
A door-to-door salesman with nothing good to sell
I ain’t seen her in weeks, I sure hope that she is well
But I’ll admit I’ve got my doubts

You can kind of hear it if you put your ear to the wall
Something not right is going down across the hall

Sometimes I wonder what love is even for
When I hear she’s a tramp, she’s a bitch, she’s a whore
At least that’s what he calls her before he knocks her to the floor
But she says she loves him too much to go
(She loves him)

You can kind of hear it if you put your ear to the wall
Something not right is going down across the hall
Don’t call 911 ’cause she’ll swear it’s her own fault
Something not right is going down
