concrete & corridors, you're where I keep what I believe, concrete & corridors, I guess you're just what I need, Just pace around, and talk to yourself if there's no one around, You'll end up on strangers' phones, memories, never to be found and I can't, I can't remember, what it was like without you in my life, concrete & corridors, can't get you out of my mind, concrete & corridors, I guess I seek what I find, line 'em up, I'll knock 'em down, I can get used to anything, a love that moved into the sky, so farewell, you sweetly unborn thing, and I can't, I can't remember, what it was like without you in my life,

To the people inside my head kick down a rain cloud and you're loving bothering me I'm getting lost in that old crowd The exhibit is to your left flood-red eyes your flood red eyes are what you've made of me signs say stop what you're doing signs say; stop Stow yourself around the house smiling to your pets promises change so many times after the sun sets Signs say stop what you're doing can I say it's me who's been foolin fooling around I've been fooling around

I find it hard sometimes to get along it puts me in a bind I don't belong this cotton-candy mind it's weak/it's strong the sonic-mountain climb ******** and here i go and here i go again oh Q - so what do I do now? A - the same old thing. sour milk//dead cow and hoof or wing head in earth feet in cloud what now and why Q - I am remade but how? Q - and do I die? and here i go and here i go again oh vanity//sanity

I’m tasting sleep, but I never eat it, tired horses really dead on their feet, Clad in iron for the end, and you’ll never move, You’ll never move, My boys and I are still, Fucking and running, A family of crimes moved in next door, Drown the women And the children, Stick their lifeboats on a ship to the moon, It scared me to see so much blood on the floor I’m hitting everyone that I’m meeting, I’m breaking everything that I do, And if I had it right, Even some of the time, I’d probably look like you, Strike the warning labels off all the products, Let’s see if Darwin is a gambling man, We need to know if it works, Or it works, Or it works against us, You lead me to the gallows, I try not to act surprised, You lay the noose, Around my neck And tell me to adopt a style If there is medicine, It must be shared, The ones you listen, To tell them you need them, If there are rules, There are too many, Too many to live by, by by bye bye bye

When you're saying goodbye look 'em in the eye no matter how hard you try it's ok to cry You will see the light soon Don't forget It's true when you're saying goodbye it's like you wanna die eye's streaming like the blue sky where you one day will fly You will see the light soon Don't forget It's true
