Effervescent Hope

Tends to use her hands when she talks
Looks like there's a runway where she walks
Always dresses tasteful without hiding
The enviable figure she has got
And the men are putty in her dancing hands
Her remarkable enthusiasm has them hanging on a strand
Of effervescent hope
Many of those men are just like me
Probably sentimental and lonely
Maybe just a bit self centered too
Willing to believe she believes in you
And the men think they have never had their due
They've been waiting long for someone just like you to cater to
His effervescent hope
And the singer stirs up the band
The waitress brings more rounds
The sad man hunkers down, and she detects...
His effervescent hope

All I Want

All I want for you is the best of life
And all I want to do
Is see before I die
The twinkle in your eye
See that proverbial moth to the flame
Nothing is worth having but suffering won't make it so
You can train your habits just be ready when they don't
Give you what you want
See I don't want anything for you but what you want
I don't want anything for you but what you need
And that is why the only thing I fear
Is this take-out, make up, brand corpse, future
One-and-done, toss out, process du-jour
All I want for you
Is not to care what I want
and I would do
Anything you like
I'd even book a flight
Even just to get out of your way
If something is worth having it's only you who'll know
And just to make it harder it'll probably be something nobody else wants
See I don't want anything for you but what you want
I don't want anything for you but what you need
And that is why the only thing I fear
Is this take-out, make up, brand corpse, future
One-and-done, toss out, process du-jour
I don't want anything for you but what you want
I don't want anything for you but what you need
and that is why the only thing I fear...
Here my love, here's your chance!

Taking it back to the corner...
The kids are playing every day and everybody waits for the cars
Everybody knows all the rules
No take-backs
No act-like-you're-cools
The kids are playing every day and everybody waits for the cars
Taking it back to the corner...
The kids are playing every day and every second passes complete
Matt and Jori make up the rules
And change 'em when it occurs to them
That:
'it hasn't been fair
You've been winning each round
How're we ever gonna discover?
You've been hiding in trees and under the ground...'
(Wait! Here comes a car!)
Taking it back to the corner...

In a World

In a world like this one
You might have had to think twice
about coming in, in the first place
What were you thinking?
What were you thinking?
When you brought me in here, in the first place
Can't have been thinking
(Must have been drinking)
When you brought me in here
In the first place
In a world like this one
With its Carbon Dioxide
Why don't we hear in the first place?
What folks are saying?
None of 'em stuttering
All the facts are so clear
Front of your fat face!
In a world like this one
With its bombs and bad guys
It can be draining!
It is a mad race
And the more that you try
More you get frustrate
Makes you wonder just why
You tried in the first place...

Eunice

Eunice I know you didn't like to be
Sometimes when you'd look, you'd look like me
I could see it in your deep brown eyes
I would never guess
you'd ever die
But then I found you, lying blue
Cold and bleeding on the kitchen floor
I asked for more
Say it isn't true
Eunice I feel guilty and ashamed
I know you were sad: am I to blame?
People have to think it's not so bad
When things fall apart, it's really bad
Like when I found you...
Can you believe?
I once touched your skin
I once kissed your chin
I'm in love again and I
I once wiped your face
Your mouth I can taste
I'm all over die
Eunice I don't know how I'll go on
Even so I must go on and on
Nothing's never not to go away
Some things just to come have to stay...
I lost you, through and through
Horrifying anguish all at once
Never done, never ever gone
