A League of its Own

She can tell my eyes are, every time, weak willed and star filled. She didn't even try to act surprised and clean what was spilled, and she can make it feel as though you should have known. I'm a hitter in my field of dreams and she's a home-run. I can round the bases one to three but three's a close one, and things are seeming dubious for stealing home. Well, it seems that she is in a league of its own, and it seems to me that she is beset to hoof it alone. I sent her everything to reel her in from candy to roses, but to she it's not the kind of thing that she supposes to be the made materials to make her moan. Well, it seems that she is in a league of its own, and it seems to be that we've agreed to do this alone. She is in a league of its own and it's all alone, and I'm so without her, so without her love. She is in a league of its own and I'm all alone because I'd rather be alone without her love. She is in a league of its own, and I guess I've always known that I'd learn to live and go without her love.

I can tell you about Dear Nice who is still playing in your yard. You can spark a conversation, get it going for a start. It's your lemonade wish. It's your dark dream's vow. It doesn't have an end or a beginning. It starts in the middle, stops in the middle of nothing. And isn't that where you want things now? I can tell you about Dear Sweet who is anything but keen when you introduce Dear Nice, make a scene and make the scene. It's your lemonade fix. It's your dark dreams.. Wow, and it doesn't have an end or a beginning. It starts in the middle, stops in the middle of nothing. And isn't that where you want things? I can tell you about your life. It's not anything it seems to anyone who has seen it or in anyone's dreams. All the pulleys have been rigged and the trap doors set. You can change this where you want to. You can end this if you want to. You can end it.

Complicator

It doesn't matter what I say. It only leads you more astray. So, I'll just sit here and play dumb and hope and pray for the end to come because you have a way of complicating anything. You have a way of complicating destiny. It doesn't matter if I know better. You're going to turn it upside-down altogether. And by the time it's said and it's finished, it's not going to mean what it did in the beginning because you have a way of complicating everything. You have a way of complicating destiny. You have a way of complicating anything and destiny. It doesn't matter, so what's the use? You're only being more obtuse. So, I'll just sit here and meditate and hope to god that we all disintegrate because you have a way of complicating anything. You have a way of complicating destiny. You have a way of complicating anything and everything and destiny. How is possible that you can even complicate simple things and absolutely nothing? It's bewildering.

Belt Buckles

Hey, look. It's my trunk with the belt buckles on it. I can't wait to open it up and get inside and go through it. I don't need a key to unhook that strange little thing in the middle. I always get by with just a regular, plain flat-head screwdriver. When I look inside, it takes me back to when I was in Nebraska running around with the people that made me feel younger and better. They couldn't keep me on the pedestal that I should have kept myself, so I threw the trunk in the car and headed down to Kansas City. Hey, look. There's a memory from the very last chapter, laughing and smiling and talking about how we should go out and do something. I don't have time to relive the pain of yesterday in tomorrow, so please leave me alone with my trunk with the belt buckles on it. Something something something something something something something and something. Something something something something such and such and something and something. Something something such and such and something else and something and something. Such and such and something and a something else and something and something. Hey, look. There's my trunk with the belt buckles on it. Hey, look. There's my trunk with the belt buckles on it. Do you want to go through my trunk with the belt buckles on it? The only way to start is to unbuckle the belt buckles on it.

You Don't Have Any
03:18

Just for once in your life, could you think twice of your own device next to me; Once, in a way indirect or direct, before you connect next to me? Because you don't have any respect for me. You don't have any respect for me. And everyone is in it except for me. And you don't have any. I thought that I had a clue until I knew a hiatus from you would set me free. So, you can abuse other friends and time you spend but never again next to me. Because you don't have any respect for me. You don't have any respect for me. And everyone is in it except for me, and you don't have any. Over and over, I've been through this over and over. I've been through this over and over. I've been through this over and over. I've been through this over and over. I'm never going through it again, never again. No, because you don't have any respect for me. You don't have any respect for me. And everyone is in this except for me, and you don't have any respect for me.

Leave Me Hanging

I heard it in the morning. You never told me twice. I understood the pain that freed you made you a prisoner of your own device. I was at your beck and call. All you ever had to do was send me out a line, a sign or a signal and I'd run to you. I ran through the cold. I ran to the door. You left it unlocked. I saw you there. You were laying on the floor. You gave me hope. You taught me how to pray. You took me out and showed me the stars in the sky, then you took it all away. I guess I'll take the hope, the lessons and the vision and get it back someday. And I'll just pray, and I'll just say.. (Hey Ya Hey Ya - Hey Ya Hey Yo) How could you leave me in this? You could have waited for me. I would have never left you. I always stayed for you. You left a secret with me. I promise not to tell it. It's in a mystic riddle, and now I'm going to have to pick up the pieces, and I'll put it together ever slowly until it shows me the way to get to heaven. I know you're waiting for me. You wouldn't leave me hanging. You wouldn't leave me saying.. (Hey Ya Hey Ya - Hey Ya Hey Yo) I made it to your service. I made it to your grave. I listened to the sermons, the readings and the testaments. Now you owe me a save, so I'll keep praying and I'll keep saying...

Quit Dreaming and Sleep

A will to endeavor, eyes wide at bedtime, he had ambitions. I used to tell him, "Quit dreaming and go to sleep." All his intentions he'd start explaining, intimate details. "Oh, little brother, quit dreaming and sleep." An hour past bedtime, I counteracted high aspirations with low self-esteem. "Shut your eyes, for I have to work, six o'clock in the morning. I keep this home and someday you will, too. Shut your eyes."
