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)

Across The Hall
04:29

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

Julia's Cold
03:35

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

Not Me, Not Now
03:20

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
