Songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey Blue
There is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there're so many sinking
Now you've got to keep thinking
You can make it thru these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs
Lots of laughs
Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go well
I don't think so
Gonna take a look around it though Blue I love you
Hey Blue
Here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
Here is your song from me

I go crazy
Sometimes when I'm alone
And I thinks things
That really aren't my own
I'm so desperate
I reach for the telephone
For someone to save me
When I'm sinking like a stone
Then you're there even when you're not there
Then you're there even when you're not there
Always like a spark in the distance somewhere
You're still there even when you're not there
I'm awakened
From the longest dream
And I'm shaking
The fear is gripping me
Why can't this be easy
Why can't there be some way around
I'm so trapped by
All the secrets I have found
Then you're there even when you're not there
Then you're there even when you're not there
How can you be both a circle and a square
You're still there even when you're not there
This is what I know
This is what I know
Don't ask me how I know
There's this language
That I don't understand
In between the lines
It slips right through my hands
Certain, I'm frozen where I stand
Listening gently
As every sentence lands
Then you're there even when you're not there
Then you're there even when you're not there
Always like a spark in the distance somewhere
You're still there even when you're not there
Then you're there even when you're not there
Then you're there even when you're not there
How can you be both a circle and a square
You're still there even when you're not there

Living Without You

The milk truck hauls the sun up
The paper hits the door
And the subway shakes my floor
And I think about you
Time to face the dawning gray
Of another lonely day
It's so hard living without you
It's so hard
It's so hard
It's so hard living without you
Ev'ryone's got something
They're out tryin' to get some more
They got something to get up for
But I ain't about to
Nothing's gonna happen
Nothing's gonna change
It's so hard living without you
It's so hard
It's so hard
It's so hard living without you

What's the matter with your life
Is the poverty bringing you down?
Is the mailman jerking you 'round?
Did he put your million dollar check
In someone else's box?
Tell me, what's the matter with your world
?
Was it a boy when you wanted a girl? (boy when you wanted a girl)
Don't you know straight hair ain't got no curl (no curl)
Life it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop, Dig it
Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space to fill
Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
But life it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop, Dig it
Tell me, what's that underneath your hair?
Is there anybody living there? (anybody living there)
You can't get over, if you say you just don't care (don't care)
Show me a boy who stays in school
And I'll show you a boy aware, Dig it
Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space to fill
Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
But life it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop, Dig it

Broken windows and empty hallways,
A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
And I think it's going rain today.
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
The frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
And I think it's going rain today.
Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
And I think it's going rain today.
