Old Friends 03:21
A violet umbrella she spins in the cold stabbing rain a fortune teller could sell her in a pirate parade she juggles her needle she looks for a new healthy vein every breath that she takes is a moment she lets slip away The flowers on the table have died long before you arrived and the song that comes on the radio plays all the the time you're talking in circles the room gets so dark you can't see then you find yourself in the gutter with blood in your teeth Old Friends You jumped from your window to hide from the life you despised but that couldn't kill you it just made you feel more alive your heads filled with cobwebs your memory lacks any pain you feel your existence has got to have someone to blame Old Friends

Canopy 02:36
Oh, my mind weaves lost in day dreams floating high above the trees it's true, I still love you like I used to but I'm not the man that I used to be I've grown tired of peace and quiet I've gone crazy cause I've seen it all and all I need is your voice to carry me far away from this world below Your canopy covers me tonight Your haunting kisses on my cheek ignite a fire so bright it leads me back to you I walked backwards, fumbling for my matches trying to remember yesterday when up blew a swift wind and got me back to thinkin where it was that I went astray Cause gone are the bright lights, brown eyes, dark nights gone are the days of the curtain calls a rolling breeze on calming seas is what awaits me after all Your canopy covers me tonight Your haunting kisses on my cheek ignite a fire so bright it leads me back to you

Less Plastic 02:39
Come to your window honey, I've been waiting my heart is aching won't you let me stay I feel the rivers breaking at my doorstep I feel the planes roaring low everyday and ain't no reason, not one I can find for you to keep your love inside I sat and wondered all alone for awhile passed up my chances on a wishing well lost track of time when I left that morning and now I'm sinking all the way to hell so come on baby let me be your man I've got a fire in my soul and a rose in my hand I've been waiting, trying to get this off my chest but I never know how to say it best you think I'll use you and I'll throw you back but you ought to know me better than that Don't you get caught up with those crowds in the backstreets they'll take you out until you're beat they got a funny way of twisting up stories I wish for once that you'd listen to me so if your looking for a reason to hide just come and look in their big red eyes

You spend all your money on your thrift store clothes you're in Brooklyn baby better turn up your nose I'm still wondering where the evening goes I'm a bastard son, I'm the holy ghost I went out walking through the late night freaks where the night clubs neon hang; flashing, free and I knew I could find you amongst the thieves somewhere down on Washington St. Oh, you said it'd bring us both together I know that you're never coming home I forgot that you were gone but now you come around singing my song I'm letting go so don't hang on You think about the people that you used to know how they covered their eyes and let their hearts grow cold when you left me standing in the fallin snow with a ring in my hand and the answer, no So don't go saying your a friend of mine cause those days are lost in another time and I'll be the one to put you in the ground if I see your face come hanging around Oh, you said it'd bring us both together I know that you're never coming home I forgot that you were gone but now you come around singing my song I'm letting go so don't hang on
