You know what I know but you know that I don't care You know what I know but you know I'm hardly there And when I write you a letter you remind me of my pen No matter how mad your fountain I'm always controlling it Sometimes I stand only inches tall The speed of my feet prevents me from falling in Love's for the birds I say standing tall I've told you before you cannot bleed a stone You wrote your name on the side of my coral reef You took the lives of the tiny creatures beneath And when the deed was done, I wanted to cut and run And though your penmanship was perfect it's frowned upon Sometimes I stand only inches tall The speed of my feet prevents me from falling in Love's for the birds I say standing tall I've told you before you cannot bleed a stone You know what I know but you know that I don't care You know what I know but god knows you're never there And when I write you a letter you remind me of my pen No matter how mad your fountain I'm always controlling it... and you Sometimes I stand only inches tall The speed of my feet prevents me from falling in Love's for the birds I say standing tall I've told you before you cannot bleed a stone

Where will I be where am I now? Boy in a man suit taking orders down They're serving cocktails and it's a shame I'm suffering from a spiritual malaise Where will I be where will I go? The Mediterranean is covered in snow That Roman lake was my father's dream But dreams to me aren't all what they seem Where will I be where am I now? A twenty something lost in a crowd A thousand faces all look the same That single face that will someday have a name And I will never need a confession From a tiny light on a field of black And god can grant you satisfaction But what he gives he will never take back The sun it rises like a common cold I cruise on by like a man who believes in ghosts The sun it rises like a common cold I cruise on by like a man who's just seen a ghost

I won't stand up, I won't stand up For you throw you under the bus I will sit down, yeah I'll sit down You made storm clouds acid rain clouds I will throw up, yeah I'll throw up Before doing lemming long jumps It's an urban affair you just don't care Small town sickness, urban business When the dawn becomes the morning You'll feel sorry feeding pigeons And when those birds try and kill you You will know that I don't need you When I grow up, when I grow up I will stand above the livestock When you grow old, when you grow old You'll be eating cat food alone Armed with my pen, I have my pen Write you letters drenched in semen Oh is that rude? I'm being rude? I just do unto what you do When the dawn becomes the morning You'll feel sorry feeding pigeons And when those birds try and kill you You will know that I don't need you Keep your cigarettes, your money I don't need them anymore I'll call my unemployment agent And we'll party, yes we'll party

You know you go around, you come around You shuffle all upon your feathered feet I may not have a million dollars But you still won't muscle answers out of me Yeah the feeling sure is strong, I'm just scared to tag along I roll around but the sleep it never comes You know it takes more than the clothes you wear To be a proper lady on the street Like watching mannequins in windows And your jaw drops to the floor when they breathe So don't shave your underarms and then label me a pawn I roll around but the sleep it never comes

East coast is moving to the west coast And the west coast is moving north People gotta get that travel Gotta find the best place to elope Love on the tip of your fingers Is like night driving when you're lost So please, spare me the details Driver find the best place for me to get off And the drums go Martha got a letter in the mail Found out her first man wants a divorce Now she's working at the all night diner Trying to give directions when she's lost And Bill never gets his fill Always has a new project between the sheets But please, spare a girl the details She don't gotta know what I know for sure And the band goes
