The old bastard left his ties and his suit
A brown box, moth balls and bowling shoes
And his opinion so you never have to choose
Pretty soon, youll be an old bastard too.

You get smaller while the world gets big
The more you know, you know, you dont know shit.
The wiz-man'll never fit like the wiz-kid did.

CHORUS:
So why dyou gotta act like you know
When you dont know.

Judy
Could anyone be loved anymore
Than I love you
Does it hurt you too
But Judy
I've been feeling small too long
I love you so
But something's wrong

Cause I come running when you want me here
And when you want me to I disappear

Give Judy my notice

I knew if I made it easy for you
You'd settle for me
Yeah eventually
But Judy
I won't be your bitch anymore
And follow you 'round
And hold the door

You can't fool me I saw you when you came out
You got your mama's taste, but you got my mouth
You will always have a part of me
Nobody else is ever gonna see
Gracie Girl

With your cards to your chest, walking on your toes
What you got in the box, only Gracie knows
And I would never try to make you be
Anything you didn't really wanna be
Gracie Girl

Life flies by in seconds

-----------------
Take a walk
Out the gate you go and never stop
Past all the stores and wig shops
Quarter in a cup for every block
And watch the buildings grow
Smaller as you go

Down the tracks
Beautiful McMansions on a hill
That overlook a highway
With riverboat casinos and you still
Have yet to see a soul

Jesusland
Jesusland

Town to town
Broadcast to each house they drop your name

We'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
In a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
What it was all about
We moved to the west coast
Away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still
I was still in love

'Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's by my goodbye I tried
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right

Under some dirty words on a dirty wall
Eating takeout by myself
I played the shows
Got back in the van and put the Walkman on
And you were playing

In some other dive a thousand miles away
I played a thousand times before
And like pathetic stars
The truck stops and the rock club walls
I always knew
You saw them too
But you never will again

It's too late
Don't you know
It's been too late

We walked the earth
We talked and never spoke a word
She wonders who will be the first to go
I said you know
The biggest things we gotta face alone
Don't wanna when it's time to go
Alone
Alone again

A trace of me
That glows in my periphery
And ever time I turn to see
It goes
Alone
Alone again

Floating by like a satellite
To pass the time
You'll float by again

There's a moment in my mind
I scribbled and erased a thousand times
Like a letter never written or sent

These conversations with the dead
I used to be a sentimental guy
Now I'm haunted by the left unsaid
I never thought so much could change

Little things you said or did
Are part of me, come out from time to time
Probably no one I know now would notice
But I never thought so much could change

Think of me, anyway you want
I can be, the problem if that's easier
In your head, move the pieces around
Things I've said, turn the memory upside down

And it makes it better I know
But sometimes it's hard to swallow

In time I will fade away
In time I won't hear what you're saying
In time, but time takes time you know

Tell your friends, the things they wanna hear and see

It's funny I know
But I'm disappointed in you
I thought you could read my mind

But I came home early
And saw that a drawer been open
Looks like you've been reading my diary instead

How does it feel to realize
You're all alone behind your eyes
It seems to me if you can't trust
You can't be trusted

Caught in a dream
Picking up astral signals
Some of them psychic
You better watch what you think

By the time the buzz was wearing off
We were standing out on the sidewalk
With our tattoos that looked like rings
In the hot Nevada sun

Gifts piled high
And our moms and dads shook hands
And a party of polaroid friends
Rented a pool and hired a band
Maybe they knew more than we knew
Cause they danced and drank while we jumped off the deep end
Oh I've got you
To thank
For this
