Rainy Habits 03:06
Why do I stay in a place that always rains? Let's drive away to where the sun will shine all day. Why do I stay? Let's drive away. Why we stay is something strange, rainy habits so hard to break. If we stay we'll change our names, throw our old ones in the lake. Why lie awake in a mind that always strays? Place our fears on the page, set fire to each mistake. Why lie awake? Why be afraid? Why we left was something strange, just packed our bags and caught a train. We'll send a postcard from each stage, scatter clothes across the states. When we awoke, our bodies were rearranged. Books and songs were planted in our place.

Orange 04:04
Do you remember when the stars lined up? Mountain ranges were smaller than us. I still picture how your eyes lift up, it was real. The cityscape was bright, bright warm, we thought we would always stay young. I bought you flowers when you said I can't rhyme, they were orange. But it was so long ago, it was such a long time ago. It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago. When you beat me in the race, I wasn't prepared. Such a twisted path to retrace, it's hard to tell where. So stop running everywhere that you do - And let me hang on to you. A sunny day at the table arcade, Ms. Pac-Man and her ghost brigade, said boy, you're gonna get played and I did. I don't recall just how the ice age came, were we aware of the frozen rain? Or did I say that I still feel the same? It was real. But it was so long ago, it was such a long time ago. It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago. When you hit me in the face, I wasn't prepared. Such a violent thing to erase, it's hard to repair. So stop doing all those things that you do - that make me hang on to you. Soon we'll be floating through the universe, both of our hearts so well-rehearsed. Was it real? It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago. It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago. It was so (fucking) long ago, it was such a long time ago. It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago.

Well I wrote this song just like a letter, everybody knows it's gonna' get better for you. It sounds like something on the radio, my head tells me: I'm gonna' stick around. In that fancy hotel where film stars go, you stayed there once in a bungalow in June. You took some pretty pictures, danced to Janis, palms waving down, the sun was a menace to you. It's up to you. It's up to you. It's up to you, it's up to you. Selling underground papers in San Francisco, you didn't care enough to say you hate disco did you? But you still came back from California, you never thought the midwest woulda' mourned ya' did you? It's up to you. It's up to you. It's up to you, it's up to you. A ciggie and a beer under the stars, a little bit of silence and some Motown cars free you. But these wounds won't break, they're chained to the ceiling, you can keep on numbing or you can try feeling it through. It's up to you. It's up to you. It's up to you, it's up to you. It's up to you. It's up to you. It's up to you, it's up to you.

Microphone 03:31
If you come here with a microphone, you better tell me what to say. 'Cause all I hear is overtones and they're changing every day. We will not stop humming until the words we have can go. When all that's left is drumming you've heard everything we know. We can always pretend that we know what to say, we can always pretend... Today. When we're finally silent, forget all we used to know. The drums will tell our stories, it's sound that let's us go. We can always pretend that we know what to say, we can always pretend... Today.

Where it goes (I wanna know) ashes flow, and mountains grow. 1, 2, 3, 4 Everybody on the floor. 5, 6, 7, 8 Fall is here it's way too late. Seas will rise (it's no surprise) trees have eyes, they breathe our lies. 1, 2, 3, 4 Everybody on the floor. 5, 6, 7, 8 Fall is here it's way too late. Buildings shake (we chose our fate) Rome did fall, they weren't so tall. 1, 2, 3, 4 Everybody on the floor. 5, 6, 7, 8 Fall is here it's way too late.

Mistreated 03:18
If he's coming by you know he'll be prepared to get you high. 'Cause you've been feeling low and he just found out he's the reason why. It's hard to treat the world any differently than it's treated you, and it mistreated you. Been working in the yard all morning, are you satisfied? 'Cause you've been there for so long there's flowers growing out your sides. I can see some good in you - I do. Yeah, I can see some good in you - I do. You bail him out of jail and you love him until the day you die. He puts you in your place so you don't have to use your mind. It's hard to treat the world any differently than it's treated you, it mistreated you. It's hard to treat the world any differently than it's treated you, it mistreated you. I can see some good in you - I do. Yeah, I can see some good in you - I do.
