This kid said I don't really like your friend and I don't think I like your plan you got me killing time again until I put you back in line again And I don't wanna know how far I gotta go I don't wanna know...I know Joe you gotta save yourself! you wonder why you sleep tight all night wake up and you wanna die This kid said I don't really like your friend 'cause he don't seem normal and it's gotta end picking up your sorrow in the losing end and I don't think I can fight him off again It goes, it gets so fucking low how far I gotta go I don't wanna know...I know (chorus) I've seen the line at least a hundred thousand times I swore that I could see myself behind those eyes I don't wanna know how far I gotta go I don't wanna know...I know (chorus) wake up and you wanna die Joe you gotta save yourself

For A Friend 03:18
Lit cigarettes on my fingertips burn my fingerprints and make me forget him now I'm feeling sick a little dizzy, I'll bite my lip and try not to think of what they did and you're the one I shoulda wrote about I didn't see it then, but I know now that you're the one I shoulda wrote about this town took my name bent my soul, I burned again I didn't know that it was us and them but you're not a fool we think alike, we don't get their rules ya they can lie but we still have our truths (chorus)

The Odds 03:14
Saw your face turn in the back room what are the odds of three 7's? What are the odds? The reds can change from black to blues but my train is coming you can't always choose What are the odds of three 7's? What are the odds Kill the vial and dial the mood up the way you stare the planchette skewed Saw your face turn in the back room what are the odds of three 7's? What are the odds

Inhaling 03:15
Morning when the party cannot be pushed any longer and my eyes have had enough of the room that seemed so big the night before I'm wired and there's no way sleep will come buzzing on a higher frequency, I'm by the ceiling she says she wants to take me home if it's found out these four months I have not been inhaling broken down my doors I smashed my TV set It always seems to go... I've never been in love like this and this tide won't let me go and now I've said too much the car is cold and it's time to go home thoughts from the night before hang like old smoke by that yellow ceiling if it's found out these four months I have not been inhaling broken down my doors I smashed my TV set It always seems to go... I've never been in love like this Morning when I just don't wanna go... going home If it's found out I have not been inhaling broken down my doors I smashed my TV set it always seems to go never wanna go, I've never been in love like this

LGM 02:15
It wasn't how wasn't how I wasn't how I planned to be disinclined, the first to cast eyes a sullen force inside of me I wonder why they act so strange and they're calling out my name the girls and boys all look the same heading out avoid the glances a better life, another drawl you'll fly away down to Kentucky I wonder what your friends all say I wonder why they act so strange and they're calling out my name the girls and boys all look the same I can't sleep they'll try to change me doubt is swirling down the drain a pod away drifting through space little green men want my brain I wonder why they act so strange and they're calling out my name the girls and boys all look the same
