Hold it tight til it’s quiet. Hold it still til you don’t have to cry about it. Shove this pillow against my throat. Cariño, you know how badly this will go - don’t you? Time is tight; it goes tick by tock so talk to me. The clock is wound too tight to demand your company. Hey, spray paint the black trash gold. Tell me something quick before this gets too old, right? Hard to start rolls too slow. I know exactly where you do not want me to go. The Colorado River’s just three hundred miles away from Utah, where the Badlands can't be blamed... Here I am in the desert alone again. There’s no one here except my thoughts and the man in the back of the truck bed. I know, I know, I know I should have gone and bought a map, but I guess out here it doesn’t matter what happens now. Hold the lighter a little lighter now until it plumes and the campfire has burned out. Denver’s not so far from New Mexico. Still I know this is farther than you wanted to go, right? Here I am in the desert alone again. There’s no one here except my thoughts and the man in the back of the truck bed. I know, I know, I know - I should have gone and bought a map, but I guess out here it doesn’t matter what happens now. Hit hands harder til the lightning claps out. Thunder rolls under a single dark cloud now. We drive this road here for hundreds of hours. I swallow the road whole so my thoughts are all uh, devoured. I didn’t have to fly but I’m here in the terminal tonight! You’re texting me back just to say, "Hi." You want to get dinner, but you left me there to die. Are you kidding me? I’ve got to go, I’ve got to go, I've got to go tonight.

Yeah, Right 03:17
Let it go. Can you see? They let it go through my heart and rode it on back to me. Yeah I know. Yeah, right, come on... I don't know where you are and I don't know what's gone wrong. Can it be; can you stay? You let it go out the way and held it all back away. Now he's gone; yeah, right. I don't know where it's wrong but I know it's gone wrong. They let it go through my heart and - Riding me from the start and - Pushing all for our end - Let it go. Let it be. They threw it right through my heart and held it on the Astro. Me? I know, I am not well. I can't go through my heart; let's send it on back to hell. They let it go through my heart and - Riding me from the start and - Pushing all for our end - You know.

Belligerent 03:45
Try your best, she won’t fight. Try your best to get in line. If you want to try and just do what you want - You try til everything just stops cause - Everybody’s drunk and so belligerent. Everybody’s just saying what’s on their minds. And they're not being very kind to me - the ways they are, they drive me crazy. I don’t want to go there in time. Try your best to do your worst. Try your worst to get in first. You know you already tried everything that you want so go and listen very close instead of to something you heard once cause - Everybody’s drunk and so belligerent. Everybody’s just saying what’s on their minds. And they're not being very kind to me - the ways they are, they drive me crazy. I don’t want to go there in time. Try your best to end your goal. Try your best to not hear know. You know you can just try and hold on to an ideal that you know was best and best for her cause you think and feel that - Everybody’s drunk and so belligerent. Everybody’s just saying what’s on their minds. And they're not being very kind to me - the ways they are, they drive me crazy. I can go there in time! Do you want to be here? Do you want to stay? Do you want to go? It’s far too late. Everybody’s drunk and so belligerent. Everybody’s just saying what’s on their minds. And they're not being very kind to me - the ways they are, they drive me crazy. I can go there in time.

Interlude 00:38

Real like lovers. We hide in covers, and go searching everywhere. In your sheets I’m full-aware, I’m not alone. Real-time hours. You hand me flowers, and I know that it’s enough, but these times is getting rough, but we’re not alone. I won’t say anything to make you go. Time goes by... I cannot let you go. Writing you letters. Sure hoping it's better than the text I sent last night, and everything just isn’t right. You’re alone. Real-time lovers, we had each other. Please remember me happy, and all those times you said to me there’s only us. I won’t say anything to make you go. Time goes by... I’ve gotta let you go.

My Mistake 03:47
Pass the duct tape and the boxes They don’t pack themselves, do they? You’re just helping me a little, and watching me fill my wine glass up again. You got no right to be here. You’re on your own now, so let it all fade away. You’ve got not home to stay. You’re on your own now so fuck it and go away. It must be my mistake. This must be your headspace. It must be my mistake. This must be my mistake. Old film from Spain and detritus from arguments we can’t explain. Shattered glass I covered up with the rug to hide it all away. You’re not one for sentiments and I packed this shit in. Now I’ll make it go away! You got now right to be here. You’re on your own now so let it all go way. You got no legs to stand on. I’m on my own now so fuck it and go away. This must be my mistake. This must be my headache. This must be a mistake. Oh, it must be mine… This must be my mistake.

I tried men of this 21st century. I didn’t understand them. They couldn’t get right through to me. Why do you look at your computer screen? Why do you obsess over your pornography? I tried men from the 1900s. I guess I couldn’t stand them, but it’s a test of my -- tolerance. It’s a test of my temperament, and a test of my opinions... I don’t mind. I got nothing but time. When you come back home, you run on through the door. You know you come back still asking for more. I cannot change your decade tonight, but when you come back home you know you want to help it die. I tried men from the 1430s. I asked ‘em to be my caretaker, please. "I only have these babies so you will love me." "We’ve got our God and our Bible, but where is he?!" I don’t mind. I’ve got nothing but time! When you come back home, you slam right in the door. You know you come back demanding of me more? I cannot change your century at night, but when you come back home you know you want to break things up. I tried men from the 1720s. I wasn’t over it, so I guess I’m under it... Why did they stone me to death!? You welted me to the wall! You know, I’ve got patience. Still, I’m giving this my all. You know, oh! I don't mind. I’ve got nothing but time. When you come back home, you run in through the door. You cannot stand it - you’re asking for more. I will not change your decade, I tried. But when you come back home you know you want to shake this up.

Witchcraft 04:40
I cracked my skull in two, in four, to make a sound. You know I had to get it out somewhere; you let me down somehow. See they let it get too far - I resist your demands! They let it go too far, and I'm bound by both my hands. The world is all a stage; the politiks play out that way. They said it wouldn't hurt but, my apathy went away. Cause we let it go too far; I know just where I stand. We let it get too far, now I'm back by popular demand. Cause I'm not happy and I'm not fine. I'm not happy and the tarot cards were right. One! Two! Three Four! One, two, three... The world is all ablaze; I know I set it that way. Alight in smoke in fire's brim so my heart could escape. So I let it go too far; palo santo burns faster at night. I let it go too far; my witchcraft spells' come for the fight. Cause I'm not happy and I'm not fine. I'm not happy and the tea leaves were right. One! Two! Three Four! I'm not happy and I'm not fine...

Bury me in open water. Baptize me in moonlight. By the light of orange sherbet in the sky; Three weeks til July. Ah. Come down to the world you do not know, where the pond waves laps at your ankles and your toes. By the light of rose-hip pink in the sky, three weeks til you say you’re gonna to die. Ah. Come down on my side. You won’t even try. Calm down; what, like it’s hard? You can’t even try. Here in your arms you say you love me the most. Capsize us inside your little boat. I think right here is where ecstasy floats and still, the sand scratches against us both. Ah. Come down on my side. You won’t even try. Come down; you say it’s hard? You can’t even try. When you come ‘round, you tell me it’s only for the night. When you come ‘round, you tuck me in warm, safe and tight. You have two different modes: the one where you’re sane and the one you don’t think we know. By the light of blue and red police lights, three weeks til I think I’m gonna die. Come down on my side; You won’t even try. Come down; what, like it’s hard? you won’t even try.

Last night, you broke my arms into two. Last night, you broke my legs into three. Last night, he broke my lungs into four. Five counts, maybe more. Five counts, maybe more... Last night, you broke my heart into two - oo - oo - ooh! Last night, you broke my arms into three - hee - hee - hee! Last night, you broke my lungs into four. Five counts, maybe more! Yeah, five counts, maybe more... I could save you, if you want to, I could, I could save you, if you like me to! I could save you, if you want to I could, I could save you, if you ask me nice enough to. Excuse me! Last night, you said you were lost and found. You said, you couldn't be bossed anymore in your head, around the ways I can tolerate; sure, I can try, I can try, oh my! I could save you, if you want to, I could, I could save you, if you like me to! I could save you, if you want to I could, I could save you, if you ask me nice enough to! Last night, you said that you loved me... Last night, you made me count to three, oooh! I don't know you, if you want to I can try, I can try, oh my! I could save you, if you want to, I could, I could save you, if you like me to! I could save you, if you want to I could, I could save you, if you asked me to! Will you call me back?

I don't want to seem like a crazy person to you. I'm not a monster and I'm not that cruel, but you - got something in your eyes, like a fire. It's that kind of fire I'd want to put out. And I'm not a violent person, I'm not strange. Okay, maybe I am queer but I am not deranged. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. I don't want to seem like a sad person for you. I do my best to hide it but you, you know it's true - and you've, got something in your hair - I don't doubt, I'd come to you in the night with scissors and I'd, I'd cut it out. Oh... Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. I don't want to seem like I’ve got a complex, I've got some skeletons, so do you, and they might be next. Cause you put something in my head. It just won't leave. We need to cleanse our souls and then, maybe grieve. And you've got this nice cottage there, by the water... I hate you, but what if I falter? Say, ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. I don’t know the ways, I count the days until I see you - ou - ou! I don’t know the ways, count the days til I see you. Hey, I want to tell you something, and your parents might be mad. There's a blaze in your basement, and I don't know how it got so BAD! This is not gasoline. This is just my sweat. My body strains out blood and oil; I don't believe you two have met. Say, ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. I don’t know the ways, I count the days until I see you - ou - ou! I don’t know the ways, count the days til I see you. I never liked your family cottage anyway, ok?
