Camera flashing memory complete Again , again This year’s just another eternity Again, again Jump into it, jump right in my arms Again, again Waiting through another brutal war Is time only ticking backward? I guess I’ve never had the answers Camera flashing memory complete Again , again This year’s just another eternity Again, again Jump into it, jump right in my arms Is time only ticking backward? I guess I’ve never had the answers Is time only ticking backward? I guess I’ve never had the answers Is time only ticking backward? I guess I’ve never had the answers Is time only ticking backward? I guess I’ve never had the answers

Home Return 03:10
Never happy Never joyous Home return People poisoned By a system You can’(t) unlearn Bite the hand that Burns the forest And honks the horn No one loved that man So he hurt us All that he can Home return

You always tried To do the right thing You would cry when things were frightening Everybody loves you Even kiss and hug too You’ve got an Expressive Face Things seem so out of place Jump right into the lake You always tried (always tried) To do the right thing You would cry when things were frightening (you would cry) Everybody loves you (everybody loves you) Even kiss and hug too (even kiss and hug too) You’ve got an Expressive Face Things seem so out of place Jump right into the lake

Organ 03:50
He’s so sweet to me He keeps me warm at night I heard his wobbling cry He will play my tunes And never act untrue I heard his wobbling cry Don’t you think we’d be Pretty good together Never separately wandering Never separately wandering Never separately wandering Never separately wandering Never separately wandering Never separately wandering Never separately wandering Never separately wandering Never separately wandering Never separately wandering

Just like the car is adding the miles Or watching baseball players retire I am a new man Feel my beard Laughing at jokes that you’ll never hear Oh romeo wearing winter clothes We’ll cry Watching players retire Retire Watching players retire Retire I’m getting tangled up in my own hair Still I’m descending from stair to stair Found a photo of a boy from a box I can’t remember Name’s at the tip of my lips I’ll just ask my father Because he looks like my father Oh romeo wearing winter clothes We’ll cry Watching players retire Retire Watching players retire Retire

Look Back 04:34
You called me up I left the phone ringing The dust in the air is all mixed up With a cup of warm lemon Junk trash, cash and rotten fruit In American apartments White walls as stale as yesterday’s news Shine through my eyelids When all the screens are dead And all the cops are dead Look back be glad just to be alive When all the screens are dead And all the cops are dead Look back be glad just to be alive Am I the obnoxious yet harmless bug That crawled through the window Capture me inside a dirty cup And take me off death row Capture me inside a dirty cup And take me off death row When all the screens are dead And all the cops are dead Look back be glad just to be alive When all the screens are dead And all the cops are dead Look back be glad just to be alive Look back be glad just to be alive Look back be glad just to be alive Look back be glad just to be alive

You can’t walk around Without slowing down The people of this goddamn town Always making sounds Thoughts are changing with the leaves Darker than the trees Breakfast with the morning news Pulling out the screws Taum sauk mountain Taum sauk mountain Taum sauk mountain Taum sauk mountain Paranoia in the lake And in your bloody steak Fear is always in your face It’s darker everyday Retire with your second wife Working all your life Happiness should be the goal You’re doing as you’re told Taum sauk mountain Taum sauk mountain Taum sauk mountain Taum sauk mountain
