Flake (2002)
I know she said it's alright
but you can make it up next time
i know she knows it's not right
there ain't no use in lying
maybe she thinks i know something
maybe maybe she thinks its fine
maybe she knows something i don't
i'm so, i'm so tired, i'm so tired of trying
It seems to me that maybe
it pretty much always means no
so don't tell me you might just let it go
and often times we're lazy
it seems to stand in my way
cause no one no not no one
likes to be let down
I know she loves the sunrise
no longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
and i know that when she said she's gonna try
well it might not work because of other ties and
i know she usually has some other ties
and i wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, i wouldn't want to break 'em
maybe she'll help me to untie this but
until then well, i'm gonna have to lie too
It seems to me that maybe
it pretty much always means no
so don't tell me you might just let it go
and often times we're lazy
it seems to stand in my way
cause no one no not no one
likes to be let down
it seems to me that maybe
it pretty much always means no
so don't tell me you might just let it go
The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
even with all the money in the whole wide world
please please please don't pass me
please please please don't pass me
please please please don't pass me by
Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
you gonna have to call it by a brand new name
please please please don't drag me
please please please don't drag me
please please please don't drag me down
Just like a tree down by the water baby i shall not move
even after all the silly things you do
please please please don't drag me
please please please don't drag me
please please please don't drag me down
I know she said it's alright
but you can make it up next time
i know she knows it's not right
there ain't no use in lying
maybe she thinks i know something
maybe maybe she thinks its fine
maybe she knows something i don't
i'm so, i'm so tired, i'm so tired of trying

The horizon has been defeated
by the pirates of the new age

well maybe its just time to say
things can go bad
and make you want to run away
but as we grow older
the troubles just seems to stay
Future complications
in the strings between the cans
but no prints can come from fingers
if machines become our hands
and then our feet become the wheels
and then the wheels become the cars
and then the rigs begin to drill
until the drilling goes too far
Things can go bad
and make you want to run away
but as we grow older
the horizon begins to fade
fade away
Thingamajigsaw puzzled
anger don't you step too close
because people are lonely and only
animals with fancy shoes
hallelujah zig zag nothing
misery it's on the loose
because people are lonely and only
animals with too many tools
that can build all the junk that we sell
sometimes it makes you want to yell
Things can go bad
and make you want to run away
but as we grow older
the horizon begins to fade away
fade, fade, fade

They say taylor was a good girl, never one to be late
complain, express ideas in her brain.
working on the night shift, passing out the tickets,
you're gonna have to pay her if you want to park here.
Well mommy's little dancer is quite a little secret
working on the streets now, never gonna keep it.
it's quite an imposition and now she's only wishin
that she would have listened to the words they said...poor taylor.
She just wanders around, unaffected by,
the winter winds here, she'll pretend that
she's somwhere else, so far and clear
about two thousand miles, from here.
Well peter patrick pitter patters on the window,
the sunny silhouette won't let him in.
poor old pete's got nothing cuz he's been falling,
and somehow sunny knows just where he's been.
He thinks that singin on sunday's gonna save his soul,
now that saturday's gone.
and sometimes he thinks that he's on his way,
but i can see, that his brake lights are on.
He just wanders around, unaffected by,
the winter winds here, and he'll pretend that,
he's somewhere else, so far and clear,
about two thousand miles...from here
Such a tough enchilada, filled up with nada,
givin what you gotta give to get a dollar bill.
used to be a limber chicken, times have been a ticking,
now she's finger lickin to the man,
with the money in his pocket, flying in his rocket,
only stopping by on his way to a better world.
If taylor finds a better world, then taylor's gonna run away

Now I was sitting waiting wishing
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
And in loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?
I sing ya songs I dance a dance
I gave ya friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
And maybe you been through this before
But its my first time
So please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you
I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool
I keep playing your cards
But its not my scene
Wont this plot not twist?
I have no place to read?
Keep building me up, then shooting me down
Well im already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Well if I was in your position
Id put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I'm not you
And If I was I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do
Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?
No I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool, foool
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
And in loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?
No I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool, foool
There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? and where do we go?
And how come we're so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together
[Chorus:]
MMM its always better when we're together
Look at the stars when we're together
Its always better when we're together
Yeah, its always better when we're together
And all of these moments
Just might find there way into my dreams tonight
But I know that theyll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
But tomorrow night you see
That theyll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find there way
Into my day to day scene
Ill be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll Sit beneath the mango tree
Its always better when we're together
Somewhere in between together
Its always better when we're together
Yeah, its always better when we're together
MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is no time,
And there is no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're Better together.
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things

I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And, see what there is to see
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roam through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame im looking through
Seems to have no concern for me now
So for now
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
This engine screams out loud
Sayin the beat gunna crawl westbound
So I dont even make a sound
Cause its gunna sting me when I leave this town
All the people in the street
That i'll never get to meet
If these dont bend somehow
And I got no time
That I got to get to
Where I dont need to be
So I
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now
Let me break on down
But you cant stop nothing
If you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept in, you know
You dont know nothing
But you dont need to know
The wisdoms in the trees
Not the glass windows
You cant stop wishing
If you dont let go
But things that you find
And you lose, and you know
You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold
The frames too bright
So put the blinds down low
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now
Then I could take a walk around
And, see what there is to see
And time is just a melody

Whos to say whats impossible?
Well they forgot this world keeps spinnig
And with each new day
Ican feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mine beggins to spread it wings
I what to tole the whole thing upside down
I´ll find the things they say just cant be found
I´ll share this love I find with everyone
Well sing and dance to Mother Naturs songs
I dont whant this feeling to go away
Whos say I cant do everything?
Well I cant try , and as roll along I beggin to find
Things arent always just what they seem
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I´ll find the things they say just cant be found
I´ll share this love I find with everyone
Well sing and danc to Mother Naturs songs
This world keeps spinning
And theres no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning
Round and round and upside down
Whos to saywhats impossible and cant be found?
I dont want this feeling to go away
Please dont go away
Is this how its supposed to be
Well they forgot this world keeps spinnig
And with each new day

If I had eyes in the back of my head
I would have told you that you looked good as I walked away
And if you could have tried to trust the hand that fed
You would have never been hungry but you’d never really be
More of this or less of this or is there any difference
Or are we just holding on to things that we don’t have anymore
Sometimes time doesn’t heal
No not at all
It just stands still
While we fall
In or out of love
Again I doubt
I’m going to win you back
When you’ve got eyes like that
That won’t let me in
Always looking out
A lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You’ve got hungry eyes that just can’t look forward
Can’t give them enough but we just can’t start over
Building with bent nails we’re falling but holding
I don’t want to take up anymore of your time
Time time time
Sometimes time doesn’t heal
No not at all
It just stands still
While we fall
In or out of love
Again I doubt
I’m going to win you back
When you’ve got eyes like that
That won’t let me in

I got a faulty parachute
i got a stranger's friend
an exciting change in
my butchers blend
a symbol on the ceiling
with the flick of a switch
my new found hero
in the enemy's ditching
Well somebody's something was left in the room
and man now that its gone well of course we assume
that somebody else needed something so bad
that they took everything that somebody had
Losing hope is easy
when your only friend is gone
and every time you look around
well, it all, it all just seems to change
The mark was left
man it's never the same
next time that you shoot
make sure that you aim
open windows with passing cars
a brand new night
with the same old stars
Losing hope is easy
when your only friend is gone
and every time you look around
well, it all, it all just seems to change
Feed the fool
a piece of the pie
make a fool of his system
make a fool of his mind
give him bottles of lies
and maybe he'll find
his place in heaven
cause he might just die
Losing hope is easy
when your only friend is gone
and every time you look around
well, it all, it all just seems to change
but hanging on is easy
when you've got a friend to call
when nothings making sense at all
you're not the only one that's afraid of change
