another monday, another shuffle

123 goodbye / i love you more in death / than i ever could in life
123 all sigh / when the dollar is young / and the year is new
me and the full wolf moon / will be over you / unto the nighttime
i dream for you 12 sparrows pretty in a row
1 and 23 eyes open to the risen scarecrow of scarecrows
with his mind all blown / down those hay-lined roads / to his farmer's throne
it was happy 123 / it was sad 123 / we were happy once you and me / when we were sad
123 goodbye by elvis perkins



this is the story of victoria lee
she started off on percodan and ended up with me
she lived in berkeley till the earthquake shook her loose
she lives in texas now where nothin' ever moves
victoria you talk so low that no one else can hear
unless you point your megaphone directly at their ear
this is the story of victoria lee
she started on rohypinol and ended up with me
you'd like to think they're you friends, but they're not your friends
and in the end a friend's the one you'll never know, oh don't you know?
you'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie, you see through me, but it's true
and in the end you'll know, victoria don't go. victoria, victoria don't go.
victoria by the old 97's



i watch you stumble through the morning
i watch you stumble home at night
silhouetted by a sun without sunlight
i've watched you walk straight through an evening when you're laden with the day
and the light of the moon, it only gets in your way
from a bedroom window i was anyone
and the street i look upon is my runaway
but i'm connected to the places i don't feel connected from
i'm connected to the place that i don't feel like i'm from
this is the kind of town where everyone knows each other
and everyone hates that they know each other
and no one's getting any younger
from my bedroom window i was anyone
every street i look upon could be a runaway
so move on here now
you don't belong here now
you don't belong you'll never belong
you don't belong here now

walking down the yellow brick road you left a clue
crumpled up the photograph you had with you
giving up the suitcase life and leaving your wife
there's a tunnel at the end of the light
don't know what to say to you standing on the window sill
don't know what to say to you now you swallowed your last pill
don't know what to say to you firing flares into the night
and everything is alright
crashing the afterglow in dingy whites
bleeding from the seven year itch, you lie in it
bathing in the milk of the past and drowning fast
just pretend you're colorblind and you'll be fine
cursing like a four-letter word
phony like a three-dollar bill
sell the ticket to your heart
baby, you're a one-way street
crashing the afterglow by versus



there are beads that wrap around your knees
that crackle into the dark
like a walk in the park, like a hole in your head
like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead
this time we ride rollercoasters into the ocean
we feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world
and i guess it's worth your time
because there's some lives you live and some lives you leave behind
it gets hard to explain
the gardenhead knows my name
leave me alone, for you know this isn't the first time
in fact this is twice in a row
that the angels have slipped through our landslide
and filled up our garden with snow
and i don't wish to taste of your insides
or to call out your name through my phone
for the glory boys at your bedside will love you
as long as you're something to own
follow me through a city of frost-covered angels
i swear i have nothing to prove
i just wanna dance through your tangles
to give me a reason to move
but to take on the world at all angles
requires a strength i can't use
so i'll meet you up high in your anger
of all that is hoping and waiting for you
