Blue Album


My name is Jonas


My name is Jonas 
I'm carrying the wheel 
Thanks for all you've shown us 
But this if how we feel 
Come sit next to me 
Pour yourself some tea 
Just like grandma made 
When we couldn't find sleep 
Things were better then 
Once but never again 
We've all left the den 
Let me tell you 'bout it 
The choo-choo train left right on time 
A ticket cost only your mind 
The driver said "hey man, we go all the way" 
Of course we were willing to pay. 
My name is wepeel 
I gotta box full or your toys 
They're fresh out of batteries 
But they're still makin' noise 
Tell me what to do 
Now the tank is dry 
Now the wheel is flat 
And you know what else? 
Guess what I received In the mail today 
Words of deep concern From my little brother 
The building's not goin' as it's planned 
The foreman has injured his hand 
The dozer will not clear its path 
The driver swears he learned his math 
The workers are goin' Home! 


No one else


My girl's got a big mouth 
With which she blabbers a lot 
She laughs at most everything 
Whether it's funny or not 
And if you see her 
Tell her it's over now 
I want a girl who will laugh for no one else 
When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf 
When I'm away she never leaves the house 
I want a girl who laughs for no one else 
My girl's got eyeballs 
In the back of her head 
She looks around and around 
You know it makes me sad to see her like that 
Please don't believe her she says that for anyone 
And if you watch her go... Watch her, watch her, watch her! 


The World has turned and Left me Here


The world has turned and left me here 
Just where I was before you appeared 
And in your place an empty space 
Has filled the void behind my face 
I just made love with your sweet memory 
One thousand times in my head 
You said you loved it more than ever 
You said 
You remain, turned away 
Turning further every day 
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph 
And you just listened You laughed enchanted by my intellect 
Or maybe you didn't 
Do you believe what I sing now? 


Buddy Holly


What's with these homies, dissin' my girl 
Why do they gotta front 
What did we ever do to these guys 
That made them so violent 
Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours 
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time 
Woo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly 
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore 
I don't care what they say about us anyway 
I don't care 'bout that 
Don't you ever fear, I'm always near 
I know that you need help 
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit 
You need a guardian 
Bang! Bang a knock on the door another big bang and you're down on the floor 
oh no! What do I do? 
Don't look now but I lost my shoe I can't run and I can't kick 
What's a matter babe are you feelin' sick? 
What's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you? 
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue? oh-oh!


Undone - the Sweater song


I'm me 
Me be 
Goddamn I am 
I can 
Sing and 
Here me 
Know me 
If you want to destroy my sweater 
Hold this thread as I walk away 
Watch me unravel 
I'll soon be naked 
Lying on the floor, 
I've come undone 
Oh no 
It go 
It gone 
Bye-Bye 
Who I 
I think 
I sink and I die 
I don't want to destroy your tank-top 
Let's be friends and just walk away 
Hate you see you lyin' there in your Superman skivvies 
Lying on the floor, I've come undone 


Surf Wax America


The sea is foamin' like a bottle of beer 
The wave is comin' but I ain't got no fear 
I'm waxin' down so that I'll go real fast 
I'm waxin' down because it's really a blast
I'm goin' surfin cuz I don't like your face 
I'm bailin' out because I hate the race of 
Ratts that run Round and Round in the maze 
I'm goin' surfin', I'm goin' surfin'! 
You take your car to work 
I'll take my board 
And when you run out of fuel I'm still afloat 
My buddies and their honies all come along 
They seem invincible as they surf along 
The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg 
We're goin' surfin', we're goin' surfin! 
All along the undertow is strengthening its hold 
I never thought it'd come to this 
Now I can never go home


Say it ain't so


Somebody's Heine' is crowdin' my icebox 
Somebody's cold one is givin' me chills 
Guess I'll just close my eyes 
Flip on the tele' 
Wrestle with Jimmy 
Something is bubbling 
Behind my back 
The bottle is ready to blow 
Say it ain't so 
Your drug is a heartbreaker 
Say it ain't so 
My love is a lifetaker 
I can't confront you 
I never could do 
That which might hurt you 
So try and be cool 
When I say 
This way is a waterslide away from me that takes you further every day 
So be cool 
Dear Daddy, 
I write you in spite of years of silence. 
You've cleaned up, found Jesus,
things are good or so I hear. 
This bottle of Steven's 
awakens ancient feelings. 
Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood. 


In the Garage


I've got the Dungeon Master's Guide 
I've got a 12-sided die 
I've got Kitty Pryde 
and Nightcrawler too 
Waiting there for me 
Yes I do, I do 
I've got posters on the wall
My favorite rock group Kiss 
I've got Ace Frehley 
I've got Peter Criss 
Waiting there for me 
Yes I do,I do 
In the garage I feel safe 
No one cares about my ways 
In the garage 
Where I belong 
No one hears me sing this song 
In the garage 
I've got an electric guitar 
I play my stupid songs I
write these stupid words 
and I love every one 
Waiting there for me 
Yes I do, I do


Holiday


Let's go away for a while 
You and I 
To a strange and distant land 
Where they speak no word of truth 
But we don't understand anyway 
Holiday 
far away to stay 
on a Holiday 
Far away Let's go today 
In a Heartbeat! 
Don't bother to pack your bags 
Or your map 
We won't need them where we're goin' 
We're goin' where the wind is blowin' 
Not knowin' where we're gonna stay 
We will write a postcard 
To our friends and family 
In free verse 
On the road with Kerouac 
Sheltered in his Bivouac 
On this road we'll never die... 
Let's go away! 


Only in dreams


You can't resist her 
She's in your bones 
She is your marrow 
And your ride home 
You can't avoid her 
She's in the air 
In between molecules 
Of Oxygen and carbon dioxide 
Only in dreams 
We see what it means 
Reach out our hands 
Hold on to hers 
But when we wake 
It's all been erased 
And so it seems 
Only in dreams 
You walk up to her 
Ask her to dance 
She says "hey, baby I just might take the chance" 
You say "It's a good thing 
That you float in the air 
That way there's no way I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces." 
Only in dreams.
