All the poets and the part time singers
always hang inside
Live music from a band plays
a song called soul psychodelicide.
The song's a year long and had been playing for months
When he walked into the place.
No one seemed to care,
an introverted this-is-it look on most of their faces.
Up on the mic repeating 2 words,
over and over again
Was this woman he had never
noticed before he lost himself in the
Articulated manner in which she said them.
These 2 words, a little bit behind the beat.
I mean just enough to turn you on.
For everytime she said the words
another one of his doubts were gone.

Should he try to rap with her?
Should he stand and stare?
No one else was watching her,
she didnt seem to care.
So over and over, she said the words
til he could take no more.
He dragged her from the stage
and together they ran through the back door

In the alley over by the curb
he said tell me whats your name
She only said the words again
and it started to rain, rain, rain, rain.
Two words falling between the drops
and the moans of his condition
Holding someone is truly believing
there's joy in repetition.

Theres joy in repetition.
Theres joy in repetition.
Theres joy in repetition.
Theres joy in repetition.

She say love me, love me.

You think that you are complicated, deep mystery to all
Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special.
All energy, no meaning, with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down

So see me when your 40, lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know.
Not sad because you lost me,
But sad because you thought it was cool to be sad.

You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd.
Well if you had walked past me today, I wouldn't have picked you out.

You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool
One thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice
Oh, father and mother, and sister and brother
if it feels nice, don't think twice

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
(Do as I say, yeah)
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

My cat died and I quickly poured myself some gin.
Did she die from old age or was it for my sins?
God I loved her oh so much
Miss her little kitty touch
Does she miss me, does she care?
Oh I miss her kitty stare
Do you have a little time?
Would you like to ease my mind;
Talk for hours and never stop
Chop your head off
Be a lighter person
Brighter person nicer
But you've heard it all before

So, ding dong
There's the doorbell. Hello man in white
He's gonna make you all well
Getcha through the night
But hey now,
You don't feel better
As you take your fresh bromide
Maybe this man of letters lied

Bleed in your own light
Dream of your own life
I miss me
I miss everything I'll never be

The moon is out the stars invite
I think I'll leave tonight

So that soon, I'll find myself alone
To relax and fade away
Do you know what's coming down
Do you know I couldn't stay free?

I shall be free
I shall be free
