friday night berr in a bag all alone watching the people comming home friday night berer in my hand already headed to the promise land theres a woman leaning on a landpost there her face is covered in her hair r r and theres a man over her shoulder and that man's getting bolder bolder bolder friday night beer in a bag city lights across my face city lights across my face city lights across my face kids in a store with a homeless man telling them about his plans trying to make them understand while they stare at his thyroid gland a woman with a blond wig on screeming about her only son screaming at everyone look at what you all have done I take the subway at canal down the stairs to the underground i was lost and now im found I know the meaning of every sound I stripped to nothing you responded in kind and I saw you clearly for a time you dont love me for my mind you dont love us for our minds friday night beer in a bag tunnel lights across my face tunnel lights across my face tunnel lights across the face of everyone in that place

t started with her hands in a fist it think it always starts like this her eyes were wide like the sea her eyes were wide looking at me the man she was with says sorry nothing to see everybody it happens all the time it happens all the time it happens all the time it happens all the time reminds me of the concert at webster hall kids climbing on the walls hands thumping to the beat in their eyes a waking sleep it was there before weed it was there before song it was there all along it was there all along it was there along you're touching me everywhere from my feet to my hair from the center of the sea to the center of me where the very first is the very last where I die of thirst and rise from the dirt again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again from the first there was dust to dust then maybe rot and rust then maybe flesh and bone first you sin and then you atone feeling good feeling fine it all goes round and round and not in a line and it's happening all the time and it's happening all the time and it's happening all the time you're touching me everywhere from my feet to my hair (x3)

we had cakes we had wine we had cakes we had wine but I knew the truth every time I looked up we had cakes we had wine but I was married under a bad sign I vernerated the saints I convered myself in paint I wore a rosary I let the system enter me I wanted things to be easy the church the church the church is on a hill I'll be married until it all burns down We had cakes we had wine we had cakes we had wine It's only been a month but I see how it is uh, oh, so a lifetime of this? hey, husband you gave me a name you filled me with shame I take every chance to do you the same to do you the same to do you the same We had cakes we had wine we had cakes we had wine ten years in the sin continues to win whatever we were on that day at first we're much less than that now We had cakes we had wine we had cakes we had wine fourty years on my children are all gone to the states, to the gulf and, I've had enough

Did You Win 03:07
as long as you take care of me im everything I want to be maybe... I'll have children I don't mind the ambient noise I only listen to your voice maybe.... I'll stay inside ready? do you have everything? did you win? am I asking too soon? am I asking too soon? am I asking too soon? you made it very clear what I should do and that you don't really care if I go with you but still.... I wanted to be your favorite I think for a while I was running in front but I'm finally one of those who've just given up I don't believe your lies, anymore... ready? do you have everything? did you win? am I asking too soon? am I asking too soon? am I asking too soon?
