INDIANA

I can see you dragging it down slowly now
You would maybe change your mind but you don't know how
Don't you try to hold me to the truth
I was trying just to talk with you

Closing time in your mind down at the South Bend
Closing time, it's time to wrap up all that you made on the bend
Is it pretty? Is she pretty?
Is it nice, like your eyes?

I'll go tell the mayor that you bought the town
And, indeed, the princess that you designed her crown

You're so pretty
And I do know the ways of your tune

You might make me want to change my mind
I do hate to admit it, but you shine
You're my kind

Oh, you're pretty
And I do know the ways of your tune

Don't you try to hold me to the truth
I was trying just to talk with you
Don't hold your head down, write what I said down
Nothing matters for free
Write what I said down, don't hold your head down
No one's ever been free

ONCE AND FOR ALL

They said we didn't need the answers to the game
We drove far and wide until the morning
Let's leave this town and crack this code down
once and for all
Ah, honey
You're giving me the edge to the ends of the earth
And honey, all right

We danced a little dance to the songs we had made
The way it seemed to go it was time.
We'll see you on the other side or maybe in New York
And honey, you make us want to smile

And someday I'll be out of your life once and for all
And someday I'll be out of your life once and for all
A true heart is an empty heart
A true heart is an empty heart

Got diamonds in your eyes
Oh, the way you sing you make us want to cry
You grew your nails too long and we wondered if you did drugs
Drive far away in the truck where you live
And honey, you make us want to smile

A true heart is an empty heart
A true heart is an empty heart
Don't run with thieves
Don't talk to wolves
My love we say, "I needed you"
Don't run with thieves
Don't talk to wolves, No, No!

SMILE

This one's for you pretty girl
When you walk across the room, you make me smile
You make me smile
This one's for you silly thing
You make me want to sing, you make me smile
You make me smile

I heard them sing
I watched them dance
They went away
They didn't come back for me
No, not at all

They left again the other night
I watched them go
I wasn't frightened for you (what to do)

Oh, and when you put yourself on top
You pull yourself right up - He'll answer
When it's your time to go you gotta pull yourself up slow
And if you pull yourself right through we'll do

This is a paradise, looking for the song to sing
Looking for a heart, tied up in smoke
So this one's for you pretty girl
When you walk across the room you make me smile

DON'T FIGHT WHAT YOU'VE BECOME (Sammy's Song)

I could say that I was embarrassed
I could claim they did me wrong
But you can't fly a kite to Paris, there's no string that long
The television tries to scare us, but we belong

I saw you the other day
I saw pictures made a thousand ways
On down for you

You walked by the milestone
You walked by all alone
Don't fight what you've become
No, don't fight what you've become
No, don't fight what you've become

I was full of big ideas, and I wasn't having any fun
But now I'm one big buenos dias, my day's begun
My sarcasm finally freed us, we'd better run

No don't fight what you've become
No don't fight what you've become
No don't fight what you've become

You went to Los Angeles
You started out your life and your wild gift
Don't fight the boys in bed
Congratulate
It's almost time to graduate

Now I'm buying green bananas
Now I'm whistling through my chores
Whatever fickle fates may hand us,
Let's be sure not to question where they land us
Anymore

No don't fight what you've become

ROSEMARY

Won't you come around here sometime
I won't hold it against your mind
And if you fall down here sometime
I won't tell you to take what's mine

Soothe me, don't let go
I feel worried and alone
Squeeze me, Rosemary
I need to feel the heat

I've been unreal, I've missed some school days
And what I feel feels like shoegaze, my shoegaze

Won't you come around here sometime,
I won't hold it against your mind
And if you fall down here sometime
I won't tell you to take what's mine

Honey, don't let go
I got worries of my own
Squeeze me, Rosemary
I need to feel the heat

I've been unreal, I've missed some school days
And what I feel will feel like shoegaze, my shoegaze

Do you want to go to where I go, Rosemary?
I'll tell you why and it's no lie
I'm clean

Oh, I do too, Rosemary
I'll tell you it all and I do
I'm clean. I'm clean. I'm clean

FOOTBALL

This is not fiction, this is not prose
This is not movie magic, this ain't a pose
This is not football, this isn't a joke
This is not cotton candy, our sugar's broke
This life is rough, and we have had it easier than most
Oh yeah, we're gods but we're singing to the crows

And if you ask me I'll say I don't know
And if you turn it out
I suppose but I don't know

This is not television, this isn't for laughs
This is not rocket science, you can't do the math
This is not football, this isn't a joke
I heard you light a match, I smelt the smoke
And now it's gone, so funny that it's really not a shame
"A game," they call it but that never makes it okay

Mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror do we look at you?
Should we take a ride or stay a while?

This is not fiction, this is no prose
I am not Walter Cronkite, now, goodness knows
This is not football, and this is never a joke
This is not some sort of funny thing you might want to smoke
This life is rough and we have had it easier than most

Mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror,
mirror, mirror, mirror do we look at you?
Should we take a ride or stay a while?

K-MART

I had a dream of you in my smile,
It stayed with me all day, and followed me all night
You were a hip-shaking gold kazoo, on your buzzing lips I blew
Out came a gilded tune called "Truth is an Emotion."

There for the taking
Wear your silly dress and don't you know
And it will echo as you go

Oh, to pardon me!
It burns through me
I learn from this

When you see how they play, you don't feel far away
You feel fine
We take K-Mart in stride, we don't run we don't cry
We feel light

I learn from this
It burns through me
I turn it on
It knows me
I seek it out
I learn about the ways to be

I had a dream of you, it stayed with me all day
And followed me all night

When you see how they play, you don't feel far away
You feel fine
We take K-Mart in stride, we don't run we don't cry
We feel light

I learn from this
It burns through me
I turn it on
It knows me
I seek it out
I learn about the ways to be
The poetry

CRIMSON

They wake up at night
Bump their heads and hit the light

Half a history
Half inside of me

And I do wait for you
Be all right
Love and light

I get lost in your crimson hair
I get burned 'til I don't care
Read your name on a piece of wax
Don't know the truth, can't tell the facts

And I do wait for you
Be all right
Love and light

An eternity
Well, that's too long for me

See you when you rise
And it's my big surprise

And I do wait for you
Be all right
Love and light
Love and light

SUMMER SONG

Well hello friends and foes And welcome to a show
by a band that you don't know,
but believe me, they're trying
But no one's calling on my phone
Got no songs on the radio
No girls waiting for me at home
Sometimes I feel like crying

Oh, not me, not holding a road and I'm with you
Turn the page and whisper
Let's keep it alive

Don't want to have to run from my life
I'm making copies for the Man
I sent a FedEx to Japan
It's not clear where I stand
Well, they call it a living

Turn the page and whisper
I'm with you - Do you feel it?
Summer nights without it
Let's keep it alive

I've got a river for a roof
I've got a hollow wisdom tooth
Found God in the photo booth
They tell me I'm winning

Let's get away for summer
Put an end to all our bummers
Let's get out away from this place that we came from.
Let's get out away from it all
Let's make a run for the sunshine
Leave the sunblock behind
Pass a cop on the turnpike
Do some tricks on a dirt-bike
Comb your hair with a pitch-fork tonight

Don't talk put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk and let me hear your heart beat

That's right!

Listen, listen, listen, listen

Don't talk put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk and let me hear your heart beat

Listen to the sound
the sound of the clowns
the sound of the world
the sound of your love coming down
Well darling don't you wanna go
because I never was clever enough at philosophy,
but I started to feel today
I started rock anyway
I started to roll with the days
I started to laugh at my face
Once upon a little summer song
a summer song
to which we all could play along
a simple summer song

Turn the page and whisper
I'm with you - Do you feel it?
Summer nights without it
Let's keep it alive

BACK INTO MY LIFE

They say you hit the ground on the runnin'
You hit the dirt again and let it slide
We're standing on some dirt, it's shakin'
I'm gonna stir it up and do it right
Right

Well lots of things
Well, they just don't work out
And lots of people, will never find true love
And sometimes I just want some peace and quiet
I must resume my scientific diet
But I want to get back, back into my life
And I want my feelings back, back in my life

I coined a term today
It's "Mental Magic"
I whip it out sometimes and let it spin around
And when the shows have been played
And when the boys have been laid
A mental magician, a little clown
Right

Well lots of things, will never be quite the same
And millions of people will never remember my name.
But I want to get back, back into my life
And I want my feelings back, back in my life
And I don't want to die, I want to keep living
And I want to feel good, good about my life
ALL the time

I coined a term today
It's "Mental Magic"
