Midnight and Holly

A window sofa wide
To watch the neighborhood by
Midnight and Holly...
She settles on a yarn
He turns the fireplace on
Midnight and Holly…Holly...
They're coming for ya
They're coming after you
First they adore ya
and then they start to chew
They do, they do, they do…
Sometimes a problem
is solved by an addition
Midnight and Holly...
Still, other problems
are solved by an admission
Midnight and Holly
Midnight and Holly…Holly...
They're coming for ya
They're coming after you
First they adore ya
and then they start to chew
They do, they do, they do...wah!
A late November snow
Framed by the picture window
Midnight and Holly...
They wait until you're home
'til every ember is gone
Midnight and Holly
Midnight and Holly…Holly…Holly…

Wrong
You're gonna laugh
When I tell you I'm not laughing
Pinned to the wall
Only wire stops the shaking
The trick to it all
Is to act like you're a painting
Keep getting it wrong
Good answers are so hard to come by
Keep getting it wrong
You're already maximum failure
Keep getting it wrong
Don't ask if you don't want to know why
Keep getting it wrong
You're already maximum failure
You're gonna laugh
When I tell you I'm not joking
Pinned to the wall
By the weapons of our routine
Just enough rope, piercing daggers, guillotine
Keep getting it wrong
Good answers are so hard to come by
Keep getting it wrong
You're already maximum failure
Keep getting it wrong
Don't ask if you don't want to know why
Keep getting it wrong
You're already maximum failure
Keep getting it wrong
Don't ask if you don't want to know why

Colors
Watching all the little birdies
Playing in the dew
While I'm disappointing you
Analyzing all the chatter
Trying to place the tune
While I'm disappoint you
...and you, and you, and you, and you, and you.
Orchestrating clouds
Over a wash of Prussian Blue
While I'm disappointing you
Calculating colors
From my Monday morning view
While I'm disappoint you
And you, and you, and you...
and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you.

I Can See Your Eyes on Me
Undercover on the train
Everybody knows your name
Keep your face behind the news
Keep up with the latest shoes
I can see your eyes on me.
In the alley, black sadan
Like I got my own G-man
Collar up, shades to work -/-
Just like you, I'm late for work
I can see your eyes on me
I can see your eyes on me
I can see your eyes!
In the deli, frying pan
Like I got my own G-man
Collar up, shades to work
Just like you, I hate my work
I can see your eyes on me...
I can see your eyes on me!

Next of Kin
Next of kin
You can't win
All the planning to do
Of course, I'm missing you too.
All alone with my sorrow
All alone with my sadness
All alone with my sorrow
All alone with my sadness
All alone...
I should have been there for you
but I was elsewhere
I could have been there for you
but I was elsewhere
All alone...
All alone with my sorrow
All alone with my sadness
All alone with my sorrow
All alone with my sadness
I should have been there for you
but I was elsewhere
I could have been there for you
but I was elsewhere
All the planning to do…

Faraway Girl
Faraway Girl
You know what I'm wondering?
Where are you now?
Your secrets are puzzling
You can see clearly
The moment's passed
That's not a mirror
That's broken glass
Faraway Girl
You know it’s true
No secret's safe with you
Faraway Girl
In bed with your diary
Faraway Girl,
Is this what you think of me?
You can see clearly
The moment’s passed
That's not a mirror
That's broken glass
Faraway Girl
You know it's true
No secret's safe with you
The truth belies what’s true
I can't escape for you.
Faraway Girl
Enjoy your captivity
There, on the floor,
Your shattered menagerie
You can see clearly
The moment’s past
Clearer and clearer
Until the last
Faraway Girl
You know it's true
No secret's safe with you
The truth belies what’s true
I can't escape for you.

Ball of Twine
I gave you all my time
I was your ball of twine
I gave you all my time
I was your ball of twine
Now you've no need for me
Can't get proximity
I gave you all my time
I was your ball of twine
Every so often I'm
Not who I need to be
Fit me a coffin, I'm
falling for Natalie
Call me a coffin
I’m falling for Natalie
Can't get away from me
Not who I need to be
Call me a coffin I've
fallen for Natalie
Out in the rain
Looking for Natalie
Out in the cold
Looking for Natalie
High in a tree
Looking for Natalie
I gave you all my time
I was your ball of twine
I gave you all my time
I was your ball of twine
I gave you all my time
I was your ball of twine
I gave you all.

1-2-3 Natalie
The curse is broken, Natalie
1-2-3 Natalie
The curse is broken
You can sleep at night
You don't need a gun
You can go outside
And enjoy the sun
'cause bright lights are the future
And the future is fantasy
I hereby release you from Medieval
1-2-3 Natalie
The curse is broken, Natalie
1-2-3 Natalie
The curse is broken, ah.

Come on, children, gather 'round
It's a poet's lost and found
Jumalamalee
Hear it sung across the land
Mountain, sky, ocean, sand
Jumalamalee
Yeah, Jumalamalee!
(Indistinct Dialog)
Feeling lonely, feeling blue?
Bluebird has a song for you
Jumalamalee
Feeling lonely, feeling blue?
Bluebird has a song for you
Jumalamalee
Yeah, Jumalamalee!

Hit
What do you want from me?
Maybe suicide or anarchy?
I give you my best and for free
Do I owe you all apologies?
Want me to quit? Call it now? This is it?
Soon as I get a hit, Soon as I get a hit!
Never your cup of tea
But can I get a little sympathy?
Not gonna let it be
Until you all join in in harmony
Want me to quit? Call it now? This is it?
Soon as I get a hit, Soon as I get a hit!
I need everyone in
Can I get you to sing?
I need everyone in
Can I get you to sing?
I need everyone in
Can I get you to sing with me?
La la
La la-la-la

What do you want from me?
