Darling Departed

Am I just an echo
Do I know I must go
Am I a presence at all?
When my ghost calls
Will you answer
Or let me echo through the halls?
oh oh . . .
Do you want to
Fill those spaces
Will you come close
Or will you stay in the clear?
My Darling Departed
I fell for a ghost
Who tends to disappear
Oh oh - if I am just a ghost
Do not come when I call
And when one door
Up and closes
Another opens
Or was that just the wind?
And hiding
Under the covers
Two distant lovers
They are making pretend.
Darling departed, I fell for a ghost.

King of Scum

Give me that eternal sunshine
Give me that spotless mind
Give me anything to forget your name
Like I know you've forgotten mine
Baby, I was your puppet
String around my neck
Dressed me up
For the King of Scum
And I danced for him in his bed
Baby I could take you down
Drag you out in the rain
Throw you to the ground
Kick you around
But you still wouldn't feel my pain
I choked on the smoke
I was burned by the fire
Coulda kept my distance
Shoulda resisted (Oh yeah)
And I woulda been wiser
I understand what's going on
I understand what you've done
Oh no, but it doesn't make it easier
Now I will sit and drink your whiskey
Each shot is sure to do me well
Darlin' I don't care if you miss me
Or at least that's what I tell myself
I understand what's going on
I understand what you've done
Oh no but it doesn't make it easier

Still

With the curtains slightly drawn
Sit back and watch the world go on
Fold your hands behind your head and yawn
Inside, you're takin' notes
With something to hide but nothing to show
Vicarious like a window
That's fine but I can't sit still
I always wish that I had a little more will
Hard to breathe in this old town
Yellow fog risin' up from the ground
So maybe I'll pass by this time around
There's a whole bigger world outside
Now I see it through indifferent eyes
And I coulda missed this all if I had lied
That's okay, it's not your fault
Leave it up to me and I will stall
That's fine but I can't sit still
It's okay if you've had your fill
Of me
Yellow fog rising up from the ground
So will you stay inside
and watch someone else's life go by?
What will you find when you open up your eyes?
That's okay, it's not your fault
Leave it up to me and I will stall
That's fine but I can't sit still
I always wish that I had a little more will
That's fine but I can't sit still
It's okay if you've had your fill
Of me
